Aptitude List & Info

Some things you’re born with, such as innate intelligence, strength or a way with people. These are the things that the eight different Aptitudes represent:
Attention, Brains, Brawn, Clout, Cool, Gut Feeling, Quickness, and Reaction.

Aptitude Scores:

* Poor. ** Average. *** Oh, you’re good. **** You’re a credit to the human race! ***** Who’s the perfect specimen? You’re the perfect specimen!

Attention: A person's overall perceptions and represents the five senses as well as the talent to catch details. Sharpshooters and investigators alike can make good use of this Aptitude.
Brains: Logic and book smarts is the realm of this aptitude. It is often combined with Abilities when theorising, remembering information, or finding solutions to intricate problems with multiple angles to consider.
Brawn: Brute force and toughness. Brawn represent raw physical power and endurance. How much can you dead lift, carry, and how much physical punishment you can withstand is determined by brawn.
Clout: Charisma, appeal, and social influence. Clout measure a person's natural social graces, good looks, or charm. Exactly how it manifests differes between individuals, but a high score in clout means that you can get away with lies, with debates, and that you have a flair for negotiations.
Cool: Cool measures willpower, focus, and psychological resiliance. Space is dangerous place, and if you want to stay alive you'd better keep your head. In order to do that, you need Cool.
Gut Feeling: This is pure instinct, the capability to do guesswork and follow the good hunches. Gut Feeling is almost like a sixth sense; it might be those little hairs that stand up on the back of your neck when something is wrong or that warm tingle you get in your spine when something feels just right.
Quickness: Adility, dexterity, and nimbleness can be very useful. This Aptitude makes a person quick on their feet and gives them a natural grace. Whenever you need to move fast, quietly, or engage in athletic activities such as climbing, Quickness comes in handy.
Reaction: The capability to react to things reflexively and then actually act on them can keep you alive. This is what Reaction entails. Whenever there's a question about wits or quick response to external circumstances, Reaction comes into play.
