You’ve got more experience than anyone else and guided your dynasty through crisis after crisis. With a combination of wisdom, empathy and cold pragmatism you just need to get your dynasty through one more crisis, and then you can retire."It used to be fun, you know, killing people without facing any consequences for your actions. Ah, I used to enjoy the good old days where psychopathy was okay as long as it was directed towards the enemies of the state. But now the Lawgivers have gone soft. Focused only on 'rebuilding', and 'reconstructing', and all that nonsense...It's all so
boring. But you know, maybe one day we'll grow a spine, and maybe we might actually see real movement. For now, I'll need to work upstairs as a soulless bureaucrat. To help guide our future generations."---Jack's Final Speech, before retiring from "active duty"

Character-Specific MovesLoyal staffAfter a long life of service you’re the one giving orders and deciding the Family’s course, and have Family members to do your work for you. These helpers form a group of Followers with Quality +2 and two of the following areas of expertise,
each provided by a named head of staff (bumped up to
three due to loot):
[X] Bodyguards: protection, escort, security, retreat.
[X] Scholars: lore, useful trivia, engineering, scavenging.
[X] Spies: infiltration, coercion, thievery, disguise.
[ ] Artists: performance, merrymaking, gossip, minor magic.
Head of Bodyguarding: Evan, a
Forgiving, Responsible, Flakey student of the art of vigilance. Only selected for the position due to his fame and popularity within the "newer" elements of the Lawgivers' community.
Head of Scholarship: Chase, a
Independent, Sarcastic, Trusting Drama King who has provoked controversy due to his 'interesting' ideas about AI. Specifically, Chase is an independent researcher who believes that new AIs must be built to replace the "old, worn-out" AIs.
Head of Espionage: Angel, a
Defector from the Harbingers of Cleansing Flame. He is known for being
nice and laid back as well as being a loyal follower of Jack Napier.
When you send your trusted attendants to perform a task for you, use the Under Orders move.. If the Quality of your staff drops you may repair it by spending time recruiting new heads of staff; each significant new member you recruit gives them +1 Quality up to their original value.
(The heads, by the way, were all randomly-generated from
Random Young Adult Character Generator.)
Tough Old Soul - You’ve survived a lot more than your Family might believe. When you suffer Harm, tell everyone about the last time this happened to you and take +1 forward acting on this past experience.
