RECTITUDE
Avatars who espouse the Virtue of Rectitude believe that the rule of law is a gift from the Gods that forms the foundation of mortal civilization. As the bulwark against the threat of anarchy and chaos, laws must be upheld and enforced, even when their applications seem harsh or unjust. For society to function, it must trust in the impartiality of its laws, which demands courage and steadfastness on the part of the lawgivers.
To those who believe in Rectitude, there is no relativism or moral ambiguity. There is only the law.
Characters use Rectitude to: investigate crimes,
determine wrongdoing, assess penalties, pursue fugitives,
deliver lawbreakers to justice
A failed Rectitude roll allows a character to: commit a crime, turn a blind eye to a criminal act, allow a criminal to escape, bend the rules, selectively apply the rules to herself or anyone else
Virtue Extremity: Summary Judgment. The Avatar takes the law into her own hands, ruthlessly passing sentence—and executing judgment—on those she perceives to be criminals. Summary Judgment lasts for the duration of a single scene.
