 When taking All Out Of Bubble Gum, you can pick one of the following perks:
-* '''Ally (Various Options):''' Either Virtual Adept [[Alex Foster]], the Verbena [[Royce Morris]], the Chakravanti [[Vikram Patel]], or the Wu Lung [[Vince Choi]], as appropriate to your character, can be taken as your ally.  Player characters who create Mentor characters will have their mentor characters added to this list if they're fleshed out enough (unless the creating player does not consent). You can call on whatever NPC you choose for IC back-up.   Typically, Ally characters can only be humans - this perk makes an exception.  These NPCs can each be additionally purchased (separately) as dots of Mentor.
+* '''Ally (Various Options):''' A member of the cabal Sanguine Services or Guiding Hands, as appropriate to your character, can be taken as your ally.  Player characters who create Mentor characters will have their mentor characters added to this list if they're fleshed out enough (unless the creating player does not consent). You can call on whatever NPC you choose for IC back-up.   Typically, Ally characters can only be humans - this perk makes an exception.  These NPCs can each be additionally purchased (separately) as dots of Mentor.
 * '''Background Boost:''' Get 1 additional dot of Cult, Alternate Identity, or Destiny.
 * '''Stat Boost:''' You have 2 extra dots after character generation and may invest them into Athletics, Brawl, Melee, or Firearms.

-In order to make sure all characters have an easy hook into the plot of the game and the themes we want to run, Anarch character applications should pick one of the following backstory aspects. If you do not like any of these aspects, you can collaborate with staff to write your own hook into the story. We will need you to have a direct "in" to be approved. Custom perks will not be available for custom hooks, but existing perks can be applied. For instance, you make up a story that ties you to an NPC mentioned below, you could reasonably take them as an ally as if you took a standard hook.

 But that's just how the status quo ''likes'' it.  In the Technocracy's mind, humanity won't ever reach the stars without inspiration, and their inspiration of choice is greed. Raising humanity to a higher state of existence will require a great big ladder, and somebody's gonna have to hold the bottom and be the last one up.
 And the opposition isn't just magickal. Plenty of regular people think themselves temporarily embarrassed millionaires, and like things just the way they are. The city will have to be dragged into equality, kicking and screaming.
