Excels Physically

In Translation

You strive to be an elite athlete. It's not a cliché; your body is a temple. You glorify it every day with rituals that include a whole food diet, regular hydration, and a regimen of exercise targeting conditioning, strength, and speed. When things get crazy and the world explodes with chaos and uncertainty, you've still got your body and your health under control.

You likely wear athletic, sweat-wicking clothing-probably branded in some fashion—that doesn't hinder you as you move or work out. If you're not carrying your gym bag with you, it's nearby.

Vectors are made for this focus.

Excels Physically is a draggable focus.

Connection

If this is your starting focus, choose one of the following connections.

  1. Pick one other PC. You gave that PC a helping hand when no one else would during a difficult period.
  2. Pick one other PC. You are concerned by all the junk food you see this character eat, and you want to say something.
  3. Pick one other PC. That character's parent made a popular workout video fifteen years ago that in many ways changed your life.
  4. Pick one other PC. She owes you $100.
