So, here are three more Eyes inspired by my recent reading. See also
my LJ. http://xiombarg.livejournal.com

Blackmailed
Description: Another character has a coercive pull over your
character. Perhaps the other character knows a secret of the
Blackmailed character and threatens to expose it, or perhaps the other
character has a relative of the Blackmailed character hostage, or is
in a position to do violence to those the Blackmailed character cares
about. [When this Eye is chosen, one must choose the nature of the
coercion, and who is exerting the coercion.]

The other character can make the Blackmailed character do things
because of this. Maybe he has to pay her money, or maybe she is
forcing him to be her "practice boyfriend". Regardless, the character
must obey.

Effect: Whenever the character that is blackmailing the character with
this Eye forces the character to do something horrible or seriously
inconvenient (in the opinion of the GM), the player of the Blackmailed
character gets a Gift Point.

In addition, if the character Lapses as the result of something he's
being forced to do due to this Eye, the character gains an additional
Retirement Point.

Also, any player may spend 1 Gift Point and contrive a reason for the
character that is engaging in the coercion to appear in a scene that
contains the Blackmailed character, and that becomes a fact in the
shared imagined space of the game, causing the blackmailer to appear
in the scene.

Transformation:
At any point, the character can turn to the bottle, and become an Addict.

If the character who is blackmailing the character is an Enemy,
whenever the character pressures the Blackmailed character, this Eye
may transform into a Burning Hatred.

Also, if, in a strange twist of fate, the Blackmailed character falls
in love with his blackmailer, this Eye can be Transformed into the
Lover, unless the beloved is an Enemy, in which case if the Eye is
Transformed at all, it must be into a Fatal Attraction. Alternately,
if the character falls for another person and his blackmailer all at
once, a Triangle can result.


Nice
Description: Your character isn't just a nice person; she's too nice,
and too polite for her own good. This means she ends up volunteering
for things she doesn't want to do, or getting put upon by other people
all the time, because she can't say no to a polite – or even
not-so-polite – request.

Effect: By spending one Gift Point, the player may describe a GMC
showing up and making some sort of onerous request to the character,
which the character must then accept. The player may even invent a
new, heretofore-unseen GMC for this purpose.

Similarly, whenever (in the opinion of the GM), the character is
seriously put out by being too nice or too polite, the player earns a
Gift Point. Yes, this can cause a player to earn back the Gift Point
she spent to have a GMC show up and make a request, though the GM is
only obligated to give the Gift Point if she feels that the request
called a real, tangible problem for the character in fulfilling it, or
attempting to fulfill it.

Transformations:
If the Nice character falls in love with someone, she can finally find
a higher calling allowing her to be rude, and this Eye can be
Transformed into the Lover. If the object of affection is an Enemy, if
the Eye is Transformed at all, it must be into a Fatal Attraction. If
the love is not immediately returned, or the character is too shy to
express said love, this Eye can be Transformed directly into Jilted.

In addition, immediately upon the death of any character of the
appropriate gender, the Nice character can realize that she loved that
character and now has lost them, becoming rude in her depression, and
becoming Widowed.

Similarly, upon the death of any character that the Nice character
previously helped, if the death was at the hands of the Enemy, the
character may cease to be Nice and develop a Burning Hatred.
After earning a Gift Point via this Eye, the character can turn to the
bottle to deal with her problems, and Transform into an Addict.

If at any point a character turns a favor she is doing for another to
her advantage, she may Transform from someone who is actually Nice
into a Manipulator.

If anything horrible happens to the character (in the opinion of the
player), it can blast the Nice out of her, resulting in a Traumatized
character.

It is easy for a Nice character to find herself in a bad situation. If
she refuses to help someone, and the character reacts by upping the
ante by threatening the character or otherwise using coercion against
her, this Eye may Transform into Blackmailed.

Similarly, Nice characters are often very attractive to nasty people.
If any character falls in love with the Nice character (determined by
the GM in the case of GMCs, and indicated by an Eye such as Lover,
Jilted, or Fatal Attraction directed at the Nice character for player
characters), and the character does not return that love, this Eye may
be Transformed into Strange Attractor.


Strange Attractor
Description: People, and sometimes even things that aren't people,
fall in love with your character at the drop of a hat, for no
discernable reason.

Unfortunately, it is rarely anyone normal. And sometimes it's not
love, so much as lust, or some sort of nasty desire to possess the
character. Regardless, it's guaranteed that any would-be lover is at
least obsessive, and may have other, nastier habits as well.

Effect: Any player may spend 1 Gift Point to have any GMC develop an
attraction for the Strange Attractor. The character may be in love, or
may just lust after the Strange Attractor; the manifestation of the
attraction is up to the GM, though Suggestions should always be
welcome.

In addition, whenever the character has a Lapse due to the actions of
someone attracted to her (as determined by the GM in the case of GMCs
and by the individual player in the case of a Protagonist), the
character earns an additional Retirement Point. Also, whenever the
character is harmed or humiliated by someone attracted to her (as
determined by the GM in the case of GMCs and by the individual player
in the case of a Protagonist), the player earns a Gift Point.

Transformations:
If the Strange Attractor falls in love with someone, this can
sometimes make all others give up, and this Eye can be Transformed
into the Lover. If the object of affection is an Enemy, if the Eye is
Transformed at all, it must be into a Fatal Attraction.

At any point, the Strange Attractor can turn to the bottle to deal
with her problems, and this can make her less attractive, Transforming
her into an Addict.

In addition, immediately upon the death of any character of the
appropriate gender, the Nice character can realize that she loved that
character and now has lost them, becoming Widowed.

Similarly, upon the death of anyone who was attracted to the character
(as determined by the GM in the case of GMCs and by the individual
player in the case of a Protagonist) at the hands of the Enemy, the
character can develop a Burning Hatred.

If at any point a character somehow turns another's attraction to her
to her advantage, she may Transform into a Manipulator, or suddenly
become much more Cool. In addition, when such a situation happens,
instead of becoming a Manipulator or Cool, this may just indicated the
character has become more Lucky.

It is easy for a Strange Attractor to find herself in a bad situation.
If anyone who is attracted to the character (as determined by the GM
in the case of GMCs and by the individual player in the case of a
Protagonist) threatens the character of otherwise uses coercion
against her in the name of love or lust, this Eye may Transform into
Blackmailed.
