Non-Stacking Harm

Playing The Bakeneko

Awkward, counterculture, confusing, and idiosyncratic.

The Bakeneko is about not fitting into the mold and

not really trying to. They have their own interests

and perspectives, and won’t abandon them even if it

ostracizes them from their supposed peers. It could the

kid who learned another language to better keep up

with their shows or games, the goth who can quote

Nietzsche by heart, the freshman who reads at a college

senior level. Whoever they are, they follow their own

path and prefer to walk it alone if others aren’t going

to respect them.

Both stats support an individualistic streak. With a high

Cold and a high Volatile, they’re good at staying above

it all, convincing people to leave them alone or just

walking out if they have to. Some Bakeneko have an

especially feisty, unpredictable nature, (Cold 1 & Volatile

2), while others dabble in quiet observation and figuring

out what makes others tick (Cold 1, Volatile 1, Dark 0).

Either way, their oddball natures tend to hinder their

social skills (Hot –1).

Just because the Bakeneko has odd tastes doesn’t mean

they have to be completely alien, or a total loner. Your

quirky behavior shines the brightest in contrast to the

“ordinary” teens around you, so while it can be fun to

wander off on your own like an aloof stray, make sure

you build up a few solid reasons to keep sauntering

back to the rest of the main characters. Maybe you

were friends before everyone became so obsessed with

being normal, or maybe you just love to tease them for

their drama and bad taste in music.

The Bakeneko

They think it’s an insult when they call you a weirdo, but it sustains you.

What’s the alternative? Being like them? Trying to be popular, spending more

time trying to look happy than finding out wat actually makes you happy?

You have no energy for that, or at least not enough to compete with what

everyone wants. You have your niches, your obscure joys that empower you.

Let the rest of them mistake your clever in-jokes for awkward nonsense. You

know who the real fools are, who’s really missing out.

String—you want their attention.

how bad it is, the Harm cannot

be greater than your Volatile stat.

Cross

My Path

You can spend a String to

subtract 1 from a main character’s

roll against you.

Darkest Self

Everyone’s always getting on your

case about how weird you are. It’s

time to push back, turn the tables.

Tear down and mock the popular

trends and the zombies who follow

them. Expose them for the soulless

arbitrary trash that they are. You

escape your Darkest Self when you

discover someone who appreciates

your interests, or when you make

someone feel like more of a freak

than you are.

you to add 3 to your attempt to

Shut Them Down.
