Neat, I was thinking of some similar sorts of things. We'll probably just assemble something like your suggestions when and if we need it. Thanks!

Taran, when you were talking about Tree Demesnes, did you have in mind a great big tree that's here, there, or in both places? Did you mean like a big tree that kinda bridges the divide between Nevernever and our realm? Demesnes are pockets of personal power in the Nevernever per fluff, right?

YS compares it to the split between Alertness and Investigation with respect to the Presence trapping "Charisma." As it says, "As a rule of thumb, the GM may ask you to roll Presence to gauge impressions when you are not actively focusing your efforts on making one. Further, when you use Rapport to make a deliberate impression, you can call in Presence to complement the skill." Presence is used passively. You enter a social situation, and your Presence passively affects the people therein, like when you walk down a hall and Alertness triggers on its own (because of ninjas or something.) Presence is also your Reputation and Social Stress Track, so it's a big part of Social Fortitude. A tanky socialite needs a high presence to be able to resist their foes in Social combat. The Command trapping is also a big deal for teamwork stuff, like coordinating a big maneuver or something cool. Looking at the RAW vol.1, Rapport's trappings are pretty much just brass tacks actions for someone who has already initiated a Social Conflict, and not much else (except the Chit-Chat trapping, which is some aces stuff.)

For a beautiful example of this Ouroborous, I refer you to Marvel Comics "The Starbrand."

Did you hear that they brought the Starbrand back this year?

I figured as much. With Good Discipline, Great Athletics, and Superb Fists, what are my odds against typical Vamps, doc? Will they be forced to engage my flying fists of fury, or is Good Discipline just not enough to deal with excessive brain-shenanigans in the typical campaign? Great Alertness, if that helps any.

That makes a fair bit of sense. So in diplomatic or chatty contexts, if dishonesty or dealmaking came up somehow, the character would likely be compelled to play it straight and keep promises and such, via the High Concept Aspect. I can dig it; it'll be a fruitful ground for fate points, I reckon.

Those are super helpful examples, actually. Thanks, Eagle!

You shouldn't let hate cloud your judgment, though. Incapacitate and Apprehend are the watchwords of the day. I mean, I guess your character could be some "morally grey" feller that flippantly executes folks, but then we would have reached one of those there Ethical empasse-thing-a-ma-jigs.

Why not just incapacitate the target when you take them out and turn them over to the proper authorities?
