Choose your number, from 2 to 5. A high number means you’re better at GUNS (technology; science; cold rationality; calm, precise action). A low number means you’re better at AURA (intuition; diplomacy; seduction; wild, passionate action).
Give yourself a cool name with a color reference and decide if you’re a Faunus or a Human.
You have a cool weapon that’s also a gun, a scroll communication device, and a unique outfit.

When you do something risky, roll 1d6 to find out how it goes. Roll +1d if you’re prepared and +1d if you’re an expert. (The GM tells you how many dice to roll, based on your character and the situation.) Roll your dice and compare each die result to your number.If you’re using GUN (science, reason), you want to roll under your number.If you’re using AURA, (rapport, passion) you want to roll over your number.
If you roll your number exactly, you have GUN AURA. You get a special insight into what’s going on. Ask the GM a question and they’ll answer you honestly. Some good questions: (A roll of GUN AURA counts as a success.)

Play to find out how they defeat the threat. Introduce the threat by showing evidence of its recent badness. Before a threat does something to the characters, show signs that it’s about to happen, then ask them what they do. “Ironwood charges the mega-cannons on his ship. What do you do?” “Roman pours you a glass of Arcturan whiskey and slips his arm around your waist. What do you do?”
Call for a roll when the situation is uncertain. Don’t pre-plan outcomes—let the chips fall where they may. Use failures to push the action forward. The situation always changes after a roll, for good or ill
