Adept Playbook 
Supernatural specialist
Choosing this playbook guarantees that your game will have some sort of paranormal stuff happening. Make sure the group is cool with that.
Call it “paranormal” or “psychic” or “occult” or “interdimensional quantum nonsense”. Call it magic. Whatever this mysterious force is, you can interact with it, bend it to your will. And so can other things.
When you play an adept, you gain xp when you address a challenge with knowledge or arcane power. You stand between the candle and the star, the darkness and the light, the natural and the supernatural. You stand between your crew and whatever arcane forces lie in the hands of the conspiracy.

Starting builds
If you want some guidance when you assign your four starting action dots and special ability, use one of these templates.

Anton Gorodetsky. Skirmish +2, Hunt +1, Survey +1. Arcane Mind. This template is inspired by the protagonist of the Night Watch series.
Myfanwy Thomas. Command +2, Finesse +2. Warded. This template is inspired by the supernaturally powered administrator of The Rook novel.
Kevin “K” Brown. Hunt +2, Command +1, Wreck +1. Iron Will. This template is inspired by the senior agent (and founding member) of the secretive Men in Black.
