You get these 2:

Destiny's Plaything At the beginning of each mystery, roll +Weird to see what is revealed about your immediate future. On a 10+, the Keeper will reveal a useful detail about the coming mystery. On a 7-9, you get a vague hit about it. On a miss, something bad is going to happen to you

I'm Here for a Reason There's something you are destined to do. Work out the details with the Keeper, based on your fate. You cannot die until it come to pass. If you die in play you must spend a Luck point. You will then, somehow, recover or be returned to life. Once your task is done, or you have become doomed, all bets are off

Then pick one of these:

The Big Entrance When you make a showy entrance into a dangerous situation.Roll +Cool. 10+, everyone stops to watch and listen to you until you finish your opening speech. On 7-9, yuo pick one creature to stop, watch and listen until you finish talking. On a miss, you are marked the biggest threat by all enemies present

Devastating When you inflict harm, you may inflict +1 harm

Dutiful When your fate rears its ugly head, and you act in accordance with any of your fate tags then mark experience. If it's a heroic tag then take +1 forward

Invincible You always count as having 2 armour, this doesn't stack with other protection

Resilience You heal faster than normal people. Any time your harm gets healed, heal and extra point. Additionally, your wounds count as 1 harm less for the purpose of the Keeper's harm moves

Background
Before you were a hunter what less-than-legal job did you do?

Hoodlum You can use Tough instead of Charm to manipulate someone with threats of violence

Burglar When you break into a secure location roll +Sharp. On a 10+ pick three, on a 7-9 pick two:
🕷 You get in undetected
🕷 You get out undetected
🕷 You don't leave a mess
🕷 You find what you were after

Grifter When you are about to manipulate someone, you can ask the Keeper "what will convince this person to do what I want?" The Keeper must answer honestly, but not necessarily completely

Fixer If you need to buy something, sell something, or hire someone, roll +Charm. On a 10+ you know just the person that will be interested. On a 7-9, you know the only person that can do it, but there's a complication. Pick one:
🕷 You owe them
🕷 They screwed you over
🕷 You screwed them over
On a miss, the only person who can help you is someone who absolutely hates you

Assassin When you take your first shot at an unsuspecting target, do +2 harm

Charlatan When you want people to think you are using magic, roll +Cool. On a 10+ your audience is amazed and fooled by your illusion. On 7-9, you tripped up a few times, someone will notice. You may also manipulate someone with fortune telling. When you do that, ask "What are they hoping for right now?" as a free question (even on a miss)

Pickpocket When you steal something small, roll +Charm. On a 10+ you get it and they didn't notice you taking it. On a 7-9 either you don't grab it, you grab the wrong thing, or they remember you later; your choice

Moves

Pick 2 of these:

Artifact You 'found' a magical artifact with handy powers and kept it. Pick 1: Protective amulet (1 amour, magic, recharge); lucky charm (may be used as a Luck point just once); grimoire (studying the book gives +1 to use magic; skeleton key (opens any magically sealed lock); imp stone (a weak demon is bound to serve the holder. The imp must be summoned with Use Magic)

Crew You have a regular crew, a team of 3 or 4 people who will help you out with pretty much anything. This counts as a team

Deal with the Devil You sold your soul to the devil. Pick one or two things you got out of the deal: wealth, fame, youth, sensual gratification, skill (add +1 to two ratings). Payment is due either when you die, or in a year (6 months if you chose 2 things)

Friends on the Force You know a few cops who can be persuaded to look the other way, or do you a favour, for certain considerations. You can act under pressure to get in touch with them when you need to divert any law enforcement attention. There will be a cost, although maybe not right now

Made You're 'made' in a gang. Name the gang and say how their operations tie into your background. You can call on members to help you out but they'll want paid. Bosses will give you requests now and then but you'll get paid. Minor trouble will be overlooked, but you'd better not screw over any made members

Driver You gain +1 ongoing while driving, plus you can hotwire anything (the older it is, the fewer tools you'll need.) You also own 2 handy, widely-available vehicles

Home Ground Your crew made a point of keeping the locals happy- keeping them safe, ensuring things always went down okay. When you're back in your old neighbourhood, you can always find people who will hide you or help you with a minor favour, no questions asked

Notorious You have a reputation from your criminal past. When you reveal who you are, your terrifying reputation counts as a reason for someone to what you ask when you manipulate someone. Revealing your identity to someone can bring other problems later, of course

Moves

Pick three of these:

Boss from Beyond At the beginning of each mystery, roll +Weird. On a 10+, your superiors ask you to do something small. 7-9, they ask you to do something complicated or difficult. In either case, you get to ask them something from the investigate a mystery move right now. On a miss you are required to do something terrible. If you do not accomplish what they've ordered, you cannot use this move again until you have made up for your failure

Angel Wings You can instantly go anywhere you have been before, or to a person you know well. When you carry one or two people with you, roll +Weird. On a 10+ you all go where you wanted. On a 7-9, you don't quite manage it; either you all appear in the wrong place, or you are separated

What I Need, When I Need It You may store any small object you own, putting it into a magical space nobody can get to. You may retrieve anything you stored at any time; it appears in your hand

Smite Your body, and divine weapons, always count as a weakness against monsters you fight. Your unarmed attacks are 2 harm, intimate, messy

Soothe When you talk to someone for a few seconds in a quiet voice, you can calm them down, blocking any panic, anger, or other negitive emotions they have. This works even if the thing that freaked them out is still present, as long as your voice can be heard

Lay On Hands Your touch can heal any injury or disease. When you lay your hands on someone hurt, roll +Cool. On a 10+, heal 2 harm or an illness, plus they are stabilised. On a 7-9, you can heal the harm or illness but you take it into yourself. On a miss, your aura causes them extra harm

Cast Out Evil You may banish an unnatural creature from your presence. Roll +Tough, on 10+ it is banished. On a 7-9 it takes a little while for the banishing to take effect- the creature has time to make one or two actions. Either way, the banished creature is unharmed, and you have no control over where it goes. This move may be used on unnatural hunters (eg The Monsterous). On a miss, something is keeping it here. That's bad

Pick two of these:

I've Read About This Sort of Thing Roll +Sharp instead of +Cool when you act under pressure

Often Right When a hunter comes to you for advice about a problem, give them your honest opinion and advice. If they take your advice they get +1 ongoing while following it, and you mark experience

Preparedness When you need something unusual or rare, roll +Sharp. On a 10+, you have it right here and now. On a 7-9, you have it, but not here: it will take some time to get. On a miss you know where it is, but it's somewhere really bad

It Wasn't as Bad as it Looked Once per mystery, you may attempt to keep going despite your injuries. Roll +Cool. On a 10+, heal 2 harm and stabilise your wounds. On a 7-9 you may either stabilise or heal 1 harm. On a miss, it was worse than in looked: The Keeper may inflict a harm move on you, or make your wounds unstable

Precise Strike When you inflict harm on a monster you can aim for a weak spot. Roll +Tough. On a 10+ you inflict +2 harm. On a 7-9 you inflict +1 harm. On a miss you leave yourself open to the monster

The Woman (or Man) With the Plan At the beginning of each mystery, roll +Sharp. on a 10+ hold 2, on 7-9 hold 1. Spend the hold to be where you need to be, prepared and ready. On a miss, the Keeper holds 1 and they can spend it to put you in the worst place, unprepared and unready

Dark Past If you trawl though your memeories for something relevent to the case at hand, roll +Weird. On a 10+ ask the Keeper two questions from the list below. On a 7-9, ask one. On a miss, you can ask a question anyway but that will mean you were personally complicit in creating the situation you are now dealing with
🕷 When I dealt with this creature (or one of its kind), what did I learn?
🕷 What black magic do I know that could help here?
🕷 Do I know anyone that might be behind this?
🕷 Who do I know that can help us right now?

Infirmary You can heal people, and have the space for one or two to recuperate. The Keeper will tell you how long any patient's recovery will take, and if you need any extra supplies or help
Workshop You have a space for repairing guns, cars, and other gadgets. Work out with the Keeper how long any repairs or construction will take, and if you will need any extra tools or help

Oops! If you want to stumble across something important tell the Keeper. You will find something important and useful, but not necessarily related to your immediate problems

Let's get out of here If you can protect someone by telling them what to do, or by leading them out, roll +Charm instead of +Tough

Panic Button When you need to escape, name the route you'll try and roll +Sharp. On a 10+ you're out of danger, no problem. On a 7-9 you can go or stay, but if you go it will cost you. (You leave something behind or take something with you.) On a miss, you are caught halfway out

The Power of Heart When fighting a monster, if you help someone don't roll +Cool. You automatically help as though you'd rolled a 10

Trust Me When you tell a normal person the truth in order to protect them from danger, roll +Charm. On a 10+ they'll do what you say, no questions asked. On a 7-9 they do it but the Keeper chooses 1:
🕷 They ask you a hard question first
🕷 They stall and dither a while
🕷 They have a 'better' idea
On a Miss they think you are crazy, and maybe dangerous too

What Could Go Wrong? Whenever you charge into immediate danger without hedging your bets, hold 2. You may spend the hold to:
🕷 Inflict 1 harm
🕷 Reduce someone's harm suffered by 1
🕷 Take +2 forward on an act under pressure roll

Don't Worry, I'll Check It Out Whenever you go off by yourself to check out somewhere (or something) scary, mark experience

Agency
Decide who it is you work for. Are they a black-budget government department, a secret military unit, a clandestine police team, a private individual's crusade, a corporation, a scientific team or what?

Is the Agency's goal to destroy monsters, study the supernatural, protect people, gain power, or something else?

Well Armed Well Financed
Rigorous Training Official Pull

Support Teams Weird Tech Gadgets

Dubious Motives Bureaucratic
Inter-departmental Rivalry

Moves
You get this:

When you deal with the agency, requesting help or gear, or making excuses for failure roll +Sharp. On a 10+, you're good; your request for gear or personell is okayed, or you slip-up goes unnoticed. On a 7-9, things aren't so great. You might get chewed out by your superiors, and there will be fallout, but you get what you need for the job. On a miss, you screwed up: you might be suspended, under investigation, or just in the doghouse. You certainly aren't going to get any help until you sort it all out

Then pick three of these:

Bottle it Up If you want, you can take up to +3 bonus when you act under pressure. For each +1 you use, the Keeper holds 1. This hold can be spent later, one-for-one, to give you -1 on any move except act under pressure

Unfazeable Take +1 Cool (max +3)

Battlefield Awareness You always know what's happening around you, and what to watch out for. Take +1 armour (max +2) on top of whatever you get from your gear

Leave No One Behind In combat when you help someone escape, roll +Sharp. On a 10+ you get them out clean. On a 7-9, you can either get them out or suffer no harm, you choose. On a miss, you fail to get them out and you've attracted hostile attention

Tacticle Genius When you read a bad situation roll +Cool instead of +Sharp

Medic You have a full first aid kit, and the training to heal people. When you do first aid, roll +Cool. On a 10+ the patient is stabilised and healed of 2 harm. On a 7-9 choose one: heal 2 harm or stabilise the injury. On a miss, you cause an extra 1 harm. This move takes the place of regular first aid

Mobility You have a truck, van, or car built for monster hunting. Choose two good things and one bad thing:
🕷 Good things: Roomy, surveillance gear, fast, stealthy, intimidating, classic, medical kit, sleeping space, toolkit, concealed weapons, anonymous, armoured (+1 armour inside), tough, monster cage
🕷 Bad things: Loud, obvious, tempermental, beaten-up, gas guzzler, uncomfortable, slow

Moves

Pick three of these:

Advanced Arcane Training If you have two of your three Tools and Techniques at the ready then you may ignore the third

Arcane Reputation Pick three big organisations or groups in the supernatural community, which can include the more sociable types of monsters. They've heard of you and respect your power. Take +1 forward when you use manipulate someone on affected humans. You may also use manipulate someone on affected monsters, with no bonus

Could've Been Worse When you miss a use magic roll you can choose one of the following options instead of losing control of the magic:
🕷 Fizzle: The preperations and materials for the spell are ruined. You'll have to start over from scratch with the prep time doubled
🕷 This is gonna suck: The effect happens, but you trigger all the glitches but one. You pick the one you avoid

Forensic Divination When you successfully investigate a mystery you may ask "what magic was done here?" as a free extra question

Go Big or Go Home When you must use magic as a requirement for big magic, take +1 forward to those use magic rolls

Enchanted Clothing Pick an article of every-day clothing; it's enchanted without any change in appearence. Take -1 harm from any source that tries to get at you through the garment

Not My Fault +1 to act under pressure when dealing with the consequences of your own spellcasting

Practitioner Choose two of the use magic effects. You get +1 to use magic when choosing one of those effects

Shield Spell When you protect someone, you gain +2 armour against any harm that is transferred to you. This doesn't stack with any other armour

Third Eye When you read a bad situation you can open your third eye for a moment to take in extra information. Take +1 hold on any result of 7 or more, plus you can see invisible things. On a miss, you may still get 1 hold, but you're exposed to a supernatural danger. Unfiltered hidden reality is tough on the mind!

And you get this:

Tools and Techniques To use your combat magic effectively, you rely on a collection of tools and techniques. Uncheck one; you'll need the rest:
🕷 Consumables: You'll need certain supplies- powders, oils, etc- on hand, some will be used up each cast. If you don't have them, take 1 harm, ignore-armour when you cast
🕷 Foci: You need wands, staves, and other obvious props to focus. If you don't have what you need then your combat magic does 1 harm less
🕷 Gestures: You need to wave your hands around to use combat magic. If you're restrained, take -1 ongoing for combat magic
🕷 Incantations: You must speak in an arcane language to control your magic. If you use combat magic without speaking, act under pressure to avoid scrambling your thoughts

Whatever it is, it is unsettling
(pick three for your dark side)

Lust Dark Bargain Guilt
Soulless Addiction Mood Swings
Rage Self-Destruction
Greed for Power Pain

Moves

Pick three of these:

Telepathy You can read people's thoughts and put words in their mind. This can allow you to investigate a mystery and read a bad situation without actually needing to talk. You can also manipulate someone without speaking. You still roll the moves as normal, except people will not expect the weirdness of your mental communication

Hex When you cast a spell with use magic, as well as the normal effects, you may pick from the following:
🕷 The target contracts a disease
🕷 The target immediately suffers (2 harm, magic, ignore-armour)
🕷 The target breaks something precious or important

The Sight You can see invisible things, especially spirits and magical influences. You may also communicate with (and maybe even make deals with) the spirits you see, they give you more opportunities to spot clues when you investigate a mystery

Premonitions At the start of each mystery, roll +Weird. On a 10+, you get a detailed vision of something bad that is yet to happen. You take +1 forward to prevent it coming true, and mark experience if you stop it. On a 7-9 you get clouded images of something bad that is yet to happen; mark experience if you stop it. On a miss, you get a vision of something bad to happen and the Keeper holds 3, to be spent 1-for-1 as penalties to rolls you make

Hunches When something bad is happening (or just about to happen) somewhere that you aren't, roll +Sharp. On a 10+ you knew where you needed to go, just in time to get there. On a 7-9, you get there too late- in time to intervene, but not prevent it altogether. On a miss, you get there just in time to be in trouble yourself

The Big Whammy You can use your powers to kick some ass, (2 harm, close, obvious, ignore-armour) When you do, roll +Weird instead of +Tough. On a miss you'll get magical backlash

Tune In You can attune your mind to a monster or minion. Roll +Weird. On a 10+ hold 3, 7-9 hold 1. On a miss the monster becomes aware of you. Spend one hold to ask the Keeper one of the following questions, and gain +1 ongoing while acting on the answers:
🕷 Where is the creature right now?
🕷 What is it planning to do right now?
🕷 Who is it going to attack next?
🕷 Who does it regard as the biggest threat?
🕷 How can I attract its attention?

Jinx You can encourage coincidences to occur the way you want. When you jinx a target, roll +Weird. On a 10+ hold 2, 7-9 hold 1. On a miss, the Keeper holds 2 over you to be used in the same way. Spend your hold to:
🕷 Interfere with a hunter, giving them -1 forward
🕷 Help a hunter, giving them +1 forward by interfering with their enemy
🕷 Interfere with what a monster, minion, or bystander is trying to do
🕷 Inflict 1 harm on the target due to an accident
🕷 The target finds something you left for them
🕷 The target loses something that you will soon find
