Mind
The Mind Aspect marks a Sburb player as a manipulator in the truest sense, whether they are willing to admit it or not. A player who is given the Aspect will often find themselves in the center of conflicts as a mediator or an instigator with no one really being clear which. The Mind Aspect is reflected in a character that can guide a session but must face their past manipulations and make their actions right. Their emblem is the throbbing green neuron upon a deeper viridian field, and Heroes of Mind must learn to use their peerless intelligence to worthy causes.
