Question

113 – I have a weird question about Rogue and the Basic Hope ally (that gains each trait on your identity). When Rogue touches Hope, they end up giving each other all of their traits including Aerial from Touched. If either of them would lose a trait (such as losing Aerial from moving Touched), do they keep the trait as a “copy” from the other character, or do they lose the trait because the initial granting effect went away?

Answer

Hope Summers’ (NeXt Evolution #204) ability is a constant ability, which continuously checks the game state for traits while in play. If your identity’s traits change, Hope’s traits will change immediately to match; she will not keep a “copy” of the trait.
