The normal one. The Beacon has no powers, no destiny, no tragic origin — just a homemade costume, a head full of comics, and the absolute conviction that being a hero is the best thing anyone could ever do. They are out here to live the dream the rest of the team is trying to survive, and their joy is contagious enough to be dangerous.
The Beacon is the playbook that asks whether the team's whole genre is worth wanting. Every other playbook came to this somehow. The Beacon chose it.
Identity questions:
- What do the rest of the team have that you would do anything to share?
- Whose ordinary life are you secretly fighting to protect?
- What is the hero comic you read until it fell apart?
Starting label biases: Danger +1, Freak -1, Savior +1, Superior 0, Mundane +1
