[UA] Work in progress - Archetype: the Caustic Brunette

[Simon Moody]

The idea for this archetype came to me when there was nothing to do, and all
I had was daytime television. Here are some cursory ideas. Any thoughts
would be appreciated:

* *The Caustic Brunette cannot be channeled by men.
**

*Taboos:* An avatar of the Caustic Brunette must have brown hair at all
times, whether dyed, natural, or a wig. If the wig is ever removed, dye
grown out, or natural color changed somehow, you break taboo. In addition,
you cannot show affection or concern without veiling it in snarky comments
and a similar attitude.
**

*Symbols: *Brown hair, Prime-Time-*chic* clothing, stare of indifference,
folded arms, cocky posture.
**

*Masks: *Piper of *Charmed* (Television), Jordan Sullivan of *Scrubs *
(Television), Xena (Television),
**

*Channels:*

*1%-50%:* At this level, the Caustic Brunette is somewhat indifferent to the
concerns and problems of others. Roll your Avatar: Caustic Brunette skill
instead of Mind for stress checks?

*51%-70%: *At this point, an avatar of the Caustic Brunette gains access to
the legendary devastating, rapier wit of the archetype. As a regular action,
you may roll your Avatar: Caustic Brunette skill to unleash a devastating,
soul-shattering, ego-crushing stream of insults, snappy comments, or other
withering putdowns. Success means your opponent immediately must make a
Stress check in Isolation, Helplessness, or Self (whichever is more
pertinent/PC's choice), of a magnitude equal to the ten's (10's) place of
your Soul stat (your roll?). (I have a feeling this should be higher up on
the channels list.)
