Fiasura
This is a Fiasco playset for the Asuraverse. Although a normal Asura game is about being an audacious hero (or perhaps a villain!), one must remember that the process of Transcendence is often quite random. What happens when a small-time punk, deranged weirdo, grizzled cynic, or some other not-too-impressive sort is gifted with cosmic power? It'll be just another fiasco... only with a lot more collateral damage, probably.

Not knowing anything about fiasco, it's hard to comment on...except that I felt a compulsive need to roll to determine a character as soon as I saw this, because that is an incredibly awesome list of traits for an Asura characters.
I got a character whose relationship is through former allies who drifted apart but were brought back together with a need to win against the forces of evil, who is in rural Sarva in the Great Desert next to my crashed spaceship, and I have animal form powers.
Did I do it right?
(I also know nothing of fiasco)
I love how when people see cool charts...they MUST roll.....

Well, not quite, but I like what you came up with, and it could certainly make for a fun fiasco... :D
