The Agent

Back to Companions

Background

The Time Agency. Its name alone commands attention and respect across thousands of years and dozens of galaxies. It selected the best and brightest from the apex of Humanity’s development. They acted alone in the most hostile of environments, surviving on their charisma, luck, and daring. Naturally, they chose you for duty.

The Doctor taught you that the Corps doesn’t know everything, and shouldn’t be obeyed without question. But at heart you are still a Time Agent, even if you find your own way to adhere to the spirit of your mission. Plus, running around with him was fun!

Not My First Time at the Dance: You’re from the future, and have direct experience with technologies from all over spacetime. When presented with a device from a period other than your place of birth or modern Britain, substitute your Cool for Vortex when Using Unfamiliar Technology. Additionally, if you hit on that move, you gain insight into who made the device, and what other applications it may have.
  • Damaged Vortex Manipulator (see below)
  • Clothing appropriate to your look with integrated +armour 
  • Small holdout weapon (+stun +near +hi-tech), you describe the details
Vortex Tags Choose 2 weapons from the following:
  • Modern sub-machine gun (+close +area +loud)
  • Modern assault rifle (+close +loud +autofire) 
  • One of the Exotic Weapons as described in the Warrior-Poet playbook
+ another Agent move Damaged Vortex Manipulator (+hi-tech +valuable)
This device resembles a large, heavy wristwatch on a stout leather strap. The technology incorporated into it is the pride and joy of the Time Agency. Once, it could open the Vortex and fling you across time and space. Most of its higher functions burned out long ago, but it still has a few tricks left.
When Reading a Dire Situation, it allows you to access information normally hidden to your naked senses. Magnetic fields, tachyon bursts, perception filters — anything that involves exotic energies or technologies can be detected by this baby. It also senses dangerous environmental conditions, such as radiation, poison atmospheres or gasses, weapons fire, etc.
It also has sensors that can detect subtle shifts in the physiology of living things, giving you a +1 forward when you use it while Reading a Person. The Manipulator holds detailed files on alien anatomy, letting you identify the species or species type of any creature you encounter, even if you’ve never heard of it.
The range of its sensors is hundreds of miles. It used to do whole planets, but the damn thing has been wonky for years.
