===Traits===
 +
Jibrilite Construct (3 trait points) – Jibrilite Constructs are beings created through the technomagical artifice of the Chosen. Constructs serve a variety of purposes, from vessels for the Chosen, thamatechnically modified inquisitors, to massive military constructs. Constructs gain either: +1 to all four stats; +2 to one stat and +1 to one stat; or +3 to one stat and -1 to one stat. As Jibrilites they get access to the Thaumatech Alpha trait for free. Constructs must also select at least -1 in negative traits, for which they do not receive an additional trait point.
 +
:Combat Timer [Aether] (-2 trait points w/ automatic penalty): The character has only a limited amount of time in which they can engage in combat. Each time the character rolls for initiative they must expend one exploit. Which exploit this is (Adrenaline, Focus, Willpower or Core Aether) is chosen when this trait is picked and cannot be changed. If the character cannot spend an exploit of this type they immediately drop out of combat.
  
−
Physique Traits
+
Jibrilite Codex (3 trait points +1 surcharge) – Codex heritage Jibrilites are members of the trusted Hiero Houses of the Chosen, and have access to the greatest secrets of the Chosen. Codex Jibrilites gain +1 Aether and +4 Core Aether. They also gain +1 to the Thaumatech skill due to a natural affinity for the magic of the Chosen. Codex is a prerequisite for the highest level Thaumatech traits and abilities. As Jibrilites they get access to the Thaumatech Alpha trait for free.
  
−
Guard Stance (X): This character is trained to defend themselves in close combat, and can always spend a point of adrenaline to take a defensive close combat action.
+
Solinarch (2 trait points): A Solinarch is a fusion of thaumatech and flesh into an ultimate etheric warrior. Mainly used by the Empyrean Church, Solinarchs are the feared enforcers of the Codex, and the deadly rivals of the Zenith Knights. This trait allows the use of integrated Solo Praxis. Because they are integrated into the Solonarch's body, Solinarch Solo Praxis are used with Aether + Aether Channel rather than Intellect + Thaumatech.

Senses Traits
+
Mantle of the Chosen (1 trait point): Gain +5 edge in social conflict with Jibrilites who hold a positive or neutral view of the Chosen.  Suffer a -5 edge penalty in social conflict with Jibrilites who hold a negative view of the Chosen.
  
−
Combat Senses (X): This character can automatically dodge an attack by spending Focus. 1 Focus for a difficulty up to 20 dodge, 2 focus for difficulty up to 30, 3 focus for difficulty up to 40.  Can be spent even if a dodge would not be allowed, so long as the attack is still physically dodgeable.  Unlike a normal dodge, Combat Senses does not consume your action.
+
Thaumatech Alpha Access (free): Thaumatech Alpha Access is the basic ability to use and program Thaumatech praxi. It is not required to operate most Thaumatech machines, but can be required to maintain them and can be used to override or control them. This ability is mostly based on genetic encoding and some basic training.

:'''Ether Bolt''' -
 +
:'''Mind Bolt''' -
 +
:'''Personal Transmutation''' - Personal Transmutation allows you to make cosmetic changes in skin, hair, eye color, length, etc.  Basically like putting on makeup.  In game terms it allows a boost to graces.  It can also be used to conduct quick healing, converting Ether to reduce Physical Stress.  It's not very efficient at this though, and it can't restore lost health levels or deal with wounds.
  
−
Intellect Traits
+
Thaumatech Gamma Access (2 trait points): Thaumatech Gamma Access allows advanced praxis programming, including the construction and modification of new spells. It has historically been the province only of the privileged elite of the Jibrilite Dominions. This trait can only be taken by Jibrilites due to the safeties involved in the praxi, however these safeties can be overcome with certain quirks.
  
−
Nerves of Steel (X): This character does not suffer from the “Distracted” Bad Vibe effect.
+
Graviton Master (2 trait point): Graviton-based brawl technique
  
−
Go with the Flow (X): This character can spend an extra action preparing an etheric effect to disguise it with the natural ether flows and add +10 to the DC to detect it. This action can be stacked, however due to diminishing returns each additional action spent halves the DC increase (+5, +2, and finally +1).
+
Physical Conditioning (1 trait point):  +5 HP
  
−
Convincing (X): On a successful Conversation or Interrogation social combat the character can immediately spend 1 willpower to inflict a major Vibe rather than a minor one.
+
Psyche (1 trait point): Natural telepathic ability, including the ability to switch teletex routers and establish mind to mind connections. This ability still requires the target possess a teletex or logotex, but allows the Psyche to overcome the usual routing restrictions.
