They know what you are. Soon they'll know where, too.
The Pursued is hiding from their past. Innocent or guilty, noble or tragic, they live in constant fear of a history that refuses to let them go. Talk about commitment!
Resourceful, tenacious, and creative, Pursued Agents are premier role models for creative problem-solving and a results based approach. Living a life of constant vigilance teaches them to remain light on their feet, thoughtful of their words, and flexible in their morals. Perfect employees.
The Agency often gives new lives to these Agents and hires them to Field Teams far from those that hunt them, but eliminating their origins entirely is impossible. Even without the potential for Loose Ends, they’d lose the fear that keeps them so productive!
Dark Past
Your co-workers do not know your history, and you probably shouldn't share it. Choose a category that best describes your situation and tell the details privately to the GM.
- Criminal - You are hiding from one of your own crimes, and are wanted by law enforcement or your previous victims.
- Hunted - Someone or something is targeting you. Perhaps others like you have fallen… but your only recourse is to hide.
- Quick Errand - Responsibilities grew too hard to bear. You left behind people who counted on you, and they are still looking.
Reality Trigger: On Your Trail
The GM may use Reality Trigger to highlight a person who recognizes you and will report back to those looking for you. If you do not take time to put them off your scent, they go rooting around in your private life. The Relationship who knows the least about you loses one Connection and will ask some difficult questions during your next scene with them.
If you reveal your new identity or location to people who would recognize you, mark the next empty box on a four-box "Caught" track. When this happens while all boxes are marked, your past catches up to you. When it does, through this effect or otherwise, you must choose another Reality.
