Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil
Friedrich Neitzsche

You will do anything to protect those you love

Invoke: You need a little extra oomph to help those you love
Compel:  You will cross lines others wouldn't dream of if you think it will help those you love

Since that was Neitzsche, lets have some Kant

Bah! Ninny !!  ;D

You are a misanthrope.

Invoke: You don't care much for people, so when something needs to be done, you can do it best when you're alone.

Compel: You really don't care for people. Any social interaction is hard for you. Also, nothing really makes you want to help people. You really just want to be alone.


Trust me, it'll be easy.

Siriusly I tried! I wanted to come up with something that would realy catch the meaning of the Kant Quote, but couldn't find anything

It will be an easy Job.

Invoke: You are confident about the things you can do, because in the past you have shown that you are realy good at them. "Remeber when we blew up that Vampire Lair? Man that was an easy Job!"

Compell: Sometimes you underestimate the Gig you get booked for. The overconfidence in your talents has put you in tight spots before.

Invoke: Your instincts concerning hidden or future danger border on the supernatural.

Compel: Paranoid much ? Instincts can be wrong too.

You're an expert at surviving exhausting transatlantic flights, tight shoes and long hours doing strenuous things on your feet

invoke: To endure forms of torture involving sleep deprivation or foot pain. It also helps with those high kicks.
Compel: You look down on those who advocate either French or Italian ballet, and tend to be incredibly uncivil to them.

You're a practitioner with delusions of grandeur. You pass yourself off as White Council to those you meet, even though you flunked the entry exams.
Invoke: Add a bonus when representing yourself with other signatories of the Unseelie Accords, or to impress other practitioners.
Compel: You do something that attracts the attention of the White Council. Expect a visit from the Wardens soon.

The time has come. You know it in your soul.

You are excessively melodramatic

Vampires can bite me
You hunt Vampires, it's what you do. Ever since that weird old guy showed up at school. You're mostly familiar with Black Court, but you don't mind expanding out to the Red or White. They all suck!

Invoke: Bonuses to actions where Vampires are concerned.
Compel: Too much knowledge can be dangerous. You have all sorts of things showing up to kill you.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing

You are tired of people ignoring evil to protect themselves. You've made a stand!

Invoke: When rallying people to fight
Compel: When it is smarter to stay hidden

Star of the Show

Thats what I call a nice and strong Aspect!

You are Hollywood or Broadway material. You have the looks and you definitely have the good charisma thing going. At the center of any party or fight there you are, turning the tide of the action in favor for you and your friends.

Invoke: In a social conflict you can invoke this pretty much whenever you are loosing the initiative. In a fight it might be your cool moves witch makes you a star.

Compel: When someone threatens your status as "The Star" you get very protective of it, sometimes displaying an arrogance that regularly gets you into more problems then you like.

I'll be back!

I'll be back!

Invoke: Intimidation "If you lie, I'll be back". Also pretty much everything, provided you encounter the situation again. Finding someone again.

Compel: You have a hard time letting go of some grudges. You always bump into people you never wanted to see again. And sometimes you even find yourself realising: "Damn... I've been here before... going in circles... again!!" Also, the first time is always the hardest... take this Fate Point and do what the GM says...

Oh so tempted to mention orang-utans here... not really appropriate, though  :P

Invoke: Any Lore check for research, you've probably seen it in your collection already!

Compel: To look for knowledge in esoteric and 'special' places, thus missing the mundane and obvious...

Do you have any aspect of your own to contribute, Feliscon?

Since, he didn't provide one, I'm gonna hop right on in here with one:
