Fighting Style: Boxing (Aggressive Striking) 1	(1) Body Blow -- Your character can deliver powerful blows that leave opponents reeling and gasping for air. If successes inflicted in a single Brawl attack equal or exceed a target's Size, the victim loses his next action.
Fighting Style: Berserker 1	(1) Strength in the Fury -- A berserker goes all-out, all the time, and her body rewards her heedless actions with increased power and speed. The berserker gains an additional die (for a total of three) when taking all-out attacks.

Flaw:
Learning Disability   ( Innocents -- Page 95 ) - Your character is in for a rough academic life. He might suffer from dyslexia (a disorder associated with reading), or any of a number of other difficulties, but in game terms, the results are the same. Rolls that require the character to read or write in order to process or convey information receive a -3 penalty. In effect, these are always "unskilled" actions for your character. Please note: This is a gross oversimplification of learning disabilities, and players and Storytellers interested in learning more about them can easily do so at a local library or on the Internet

Shitty car that only works with magic
Bicycle
Reinforced clothing; nothing special
Half-pack of cigarettes he never smokes

Wishlist:
Hallucinogens, uppers, downers, fist loads/sap gloves, a good guitar, and a tonfa

Systems notes:
When composing a poem or writing a novel, roll Wits or Intelligence (depending on whether the work is poetic or factual) + Expression. When reciting to an audience, roll Presence + Expression. Playing an instrument involves Intelligence + Expression for a known piece, and Wits + Expression for an improvised one. Dance calls for Dexterity + Expression.
One Mind, Two Thoughts: Gnosis (2) + Mind (1), Prolonged (one scene) duration, Covert. Likely habitual.
Spaaace 2, Fate 2: Gnosis (2) + Fate (2), short duration. Shatters spaaace a little so he can disorient his opponents by making his jinking disjointed in spaaace around them. Adds to his Defense.
