What does your character bring to the group? Can she talk her way past security guards, or does she just turn off their cameras? Is she good at finding dirty secrets?

• I Know a Guy: The character’s made some useful acquaintances in the course of her work. A colleague, a lover, or just someone to trade favors with. The character receives one free dot of the Allies Merit (World of Darkness, p.115).
In addition, Plugins involving her Asset Skills cost only New Dots x 1. (If you’re not using Plugins, the character receives a free Skill Specialty, as with the first dot of Origin.)

•• Professional: The character is respected in her field. She’s killed or hacked a few high-profile targets, or perhaps turned up a secret that bloomed into a scandal. Once per scene, when interacting with someone in a related field, she may make a Social roll as if she possesses a relevant specialty. (Note that this is slightly broader than the Origin ability Networking or the Role ability Tough Rep, which require a shared Origin.)

••• Tough Rep: Not only is the character respected, she’s feared. Those in the same Role are reluctant to cross her. Once per session, she may choose to automatically succeed on an Intimidate roll against someone who shares her Role. This counts as one success.

•••• Virtuoso: The character’s paid her dues, and she’s almost at the top of her game. Literally or metaphorically, she knows how to make a shot count. When spending a point of Willpower on one of her Asset Skills, she also gains the benefit of the 8-again rule. This applies to all of the dice in the pool; if the Willpower point was spent in conjunction with a Plugin, 8-again applies to those dice, as well.

••••• Master: At the top of her game, the character knows how to leverage not only her Asset Skills, but other abilities that come in handy on the job. Once per session, she may choose to automatically succeed at a task related to her Role. This task does not have to involve one of her Asset Skills, but must be in the service of her Role. For example, a Hacker couldn’t choose to automatically succeed on a Strength + Athletics roll, unless this was somehow related to hacking. This counts as one success.

Roles follow this format:
