==Character Aspects==
A character’s aspects describe important parts of the character that can help or hinder them.

Characters have three types of aspects:
* ''High Concept'' - A character’s High Concept gives a basic overview of the character in one phrase. While this is not the entirety of the character, it is the core concept of the character.
* ''Journey Aspects'' - A character’s journey aspects reflect where the character is in their life: their hopes, their desires, what and who is important to them. As characters advance along their Journey, these can change.
* ''Consequences'' - A character has a set of consequences, which are aspects representing things that have occurred to and hamper the character, such as stress, set-backs, and so forth.

===Non-Character Aspects===
Objects can have aspects, as well as areas or scenes. These often fill the role that situational modifiers use in other games. For example, a tool might have an aspect of Malfunctions Easily. That could be compelled to force a problem at a difficult moment. Or it could be invoked by a player whose character is trying to break it. A warehouse might have aspects like Full of Boxes and Shadowy Corners, which could be used by players and NPCs or compelled by the GM, throughout a scene.
