Talents:
Clarice Starling has the following talents:
Law-Enforcement*
Firearms
Marksman*
Forensics
Detective
Psychology*


Powers:
Clarice Starling has no real powers, possessing like several others ‘power-like’ effects, which include:
  • Danger Sense: Clarice has a preternatural ability to sense impending danger, either through her environment (such as sounds or last-minute glimpses) or just ‘gut’ reactions. Starling has avoided deadly encounters that would result in her death due to these instincts, mechanically acting more as the power combat sense with Ex (20) ability.
  • Strong Will: Clarice has a higher Psyche score than normal due to her willpower and ability to resist brainwashing and the like (such as when Hannibal Lecter attempted to brainwash her into believing she was his long-dead sister – See Limitations). Starling’s willpower is extraordinary, even if she’s not fully aware of its extent or ability. For the purposes of resisting mental effects such as hypnotism/brain-washing, Starling is considered to have Rm (30) ability.

Contacts:
While Starling had contacts within the FBI, the period during and after Hannibal significantly reduced her contacts and ability to utilize them. After the events of the novel, Clarice Starling has one primary contact- Hannibal Lecter.

Limitations:
Clarice’s limitations are tied to three main things: How Clarice has been portrayed in the movies, how Clarice is portrayed in the books, and what period of life she’s in. To this end, her limitations are listed accordingly:
  • (Movie): New at the job: Clarice is new at the FBI and eager to please her superior Jack Crawford to this end, Clarice will do whatever she has to do within the limits of propriety to impress her boss – including interviewing Hannibal Lecter, breaking the rules about Lecter, and going off on her own to follow-up an investigation. Clarice has a degree on inexperience and it shows at different points.
  • (Movie) Reputation: By the movie version of Hannibal, Clarice is an experienced agent with a reputation which is not good, a fact which Mason Verger uses to bait Hannibal Lecter with by having Clarice lose her position and endangering her. Through deliberate means, Clarice is considered ‘bad news’ in the FBI.
  • (Movie)Pursuit of Justice: Clarice is dedicated to the pursuit of justice, willing to place herself often in risk and in danger to see that the guilty are brought to justice, even handcuffing herself to dangerous opponents to prevent their escape.
  • (novel) Protégé of Dr. Lecter: At the end of the novel Hannibal, Lecter’s attempt to brainwash Starling fails, but she joins him of her own accord and joins him in flight. Several years later, she is spotted with Lecter as she has completely joined him (and has presumably joined his cannibalistic nature as well). Starling is considered to be a fugitive at this point, and is no longer considered to have any contacts with her old life. In addition, Starling has 0 karma, as it is implied that she’s fully Lecter’s protégé and lover.
Notes:
Believe it or not, this write-up was one of the more difficult write-ups I’ve had to plan out. I’m not completely certain that Starling’s Fighting score would be as high as it is, but I left it alone based on the descriptions of the Thomas Harris novels and the film versions of the character. I went back and forth on the Psyche as well until I settled on a power-like effect, but I could easily see Starling’s Psyche at Rm (30).
The biggest problem was how to best represent the very different approaches to the character from the movies to the novel, as Hannibal has a vastly different ending than the movie and the character is changed accordingly. I think that roughly, the FASERIP will remain the same, as well the aspects, but the limitations define which version of the character is best represented.

Now some write-ups that have a theme….

I would move the Fighting and Endurance down one rank, and list talents such as guns,  but well done
