personal goals
● ● ● PERSONAL GOALS
On each planet, in addition to the characters all having their mission to complete, each character is also given a PERSONAL GOAL to fulfill. If they succeed in fulfilling it during the mission, the orb they recover will eventually lend its power to undoing their regret. If they don’t succeed, the orb they recover during that mission will not lend them its power.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet for this:
• If the orb is not recovered, its power will help none of the characters.
• If the orb is recovered, it will help only the characters who have completed their personal goals.
• If Character A completes their goal, the orb will eventually lend them its power.
• If Character B fails to complete their goal, the orb will not lend them its power.
Remember that personal goals are not technically mandatory. It is always up to the character to decide if the goal is something they can or want to fulfill. Similarly, players are not obligated to thread their personal goals out in order to "complete" it. This is an in-game mechanic meant to offer character development and an opportunity for CR; it's not meant to be a burden or added workload! Goals themselves are revealed to characters individually, but unless otherwise specified they are free to share them with their fellow teammates.
Like the AC page, reply to this post with your player handle in the subject line, then reply to that with a thread for every character you play. Every time that character completes a goal, use the form below to get it tracked.

GOAL: Speak only in famous movie quotes for 24 hours.
SUMMARY: During one of his days of hanging around the tavern with his bard band (called Bardcore, of course), he had spent an entire day speaking in ye olde famous movie quotes. Everyone thought he was having a medical crisis or had a spell put on him. Tragical.

Mission: A Matter of Import
CHARACTER: Newton Geiszler
MISSION: A Matter of Import
GOAL: Make a bad situation worse.
SUMMARY: It was obscenely easy to make a bad situation worse, particularly once the place they'd been hiding out had been invaded by the government. Go figure.
