The Subverter

You use your art not for the galleries, but for the streets. You are a propagandist, a hacker of public spaces, and an agitator who knows that a well-placed image can do more damage than a bomb.

Favored Broad Skill:

• Creativity

Favored Specialty Skills:

• [Creativity-Specific Skill] (/skills/creativity/#creativity-specific-skill) (e.g., holo art, public graffiti, or propaganda design)
• [Deception-Bluff] (/skills/deception/#bluff)
• [Covert Ops-Stealth] (/skills/covert-ops/#stealth)
• [Leadership-Inspire] (/skills/leadership/#inspire)

Favored Perks:

• [Powerful Ally] (/perks_flaws/#powerful-ally) (An underground resistance movement, anarchist collective, or decentralized hacker group).

Automatic Flaw:

• [Infamy] (/perks_flaws/#infamy) (Known to local authorities or megacorporations as a dangerous vandal and agitator).

Starting Equipment:

A portable signal-hijacker or high-yield spray tech, an encrypted data-drive full of propaganda, a breather mask to obscure your face, and rugged street clothes.

Special Ability:

Subliminal Messaging: You have a -1 step bonus to [Leadership-Inspire] (/skills/leadership/#inspire) or [Deception-Bluff] (/skills/deception/#bluff) checks when you use your art to incite a crowd, cause a public distraction, or rapidly sway public opinion.

Tendencies (Pick 2):

• The Calling Card: Leave a recognizable piece of your art or propaganda at the scene of a mission, intentionally drawing attention to yourself and risking immediate discovery.
• The Agitator: Openly provoke authority figures or corporate security, using the resulting chaos to make a political point even if it jeopardizes the current operation.
