The ''Avatar'' can automatically recognize any people
to whom she is ''Fatebound.'' She can pick their faces out
of a crowd with just a glance. She can recognize their
voices despite electronic distortion or overpowering
background noise. She knows their scents and their
body language and even the exact feel of the way they
shake hands. She can also recognize an imposter when
someone tries to mimic the voice or appearance of
someone to whom she is Fatebound.

Recognizing others is not quite as easy. If, when a Avatar
encounters a character to whom she is not Fatebound,
she makes a concerted effort to try to remember that character’s looks and mannerisms, the player may spend a
point of Willpower to lock that image in the Avatar’s mind.
After that, she retains the ability to recognize him despite
all obfuscation for the rest of the story as if they two were
Fatebound. Thereafter, the Avatar loses any supernatural
ability she had to recognize that character. (She doesn’t
forget what the character looks like, mind you. It’s just
that the ''Flair'' no longer applies to that person.)

''The timing of when the Avatar recognizes a person is
entirely up to the Storyteller as dictated by the needs of
the story.''

If the private investigator who’s been dogging the
Avatar’s heels tries to slink up to the character in disguise
at a crowded charity fund-raiser, the Avatar might see the
gumshoe coming a mile away (even despite the fake beard,
the fat suit, the spray-on tan and the sex change). If an Avatar
of Loki who’s a rival to a player’s Avatar of Anubis arrives in
disguise to deliver a cryptic warning, the Avatar of Anubis
might not recognize her old foe until the trickster disappears
with a wink behind the elevator’s closing doors.

Finally, as a side effect of this Flair, an Avatar can
always recognize when someone who is not in disguise, but is
biologically related to a person she knows well (regardless
of whether that person is Fatebound to her). She cannot
intuitively grasp what that relationship is, but she knows
it’s there—even if the person in question doesn’t.
