Aspects and Combos
Aspects are what equips your character to overcome foes and react to crises. They are broad categories of skills, talents, and enhancements that your character has acquired on his or her journeys. You acquire Aspects when you choose your Jobs and Horoscopes.
Aspects will have a rating and can increase that rating during gameplay. The rating will run from 1-5. A rating of 1 will be the most basic or elementary level of Aspect and a rating of 5 will indicate the ultimate connection to that Aspect. Whenever you roll your dice, any dice showing your Aspect's rating or lower will count as a success (see Mechanics).
When chosen, Aspects are assigned to a Characteristic. Suggested Characteristics are listed below. However, these are not absolutes. Nuance can be discovered in changing the Characteristic of an Aspect and can lead to excellent roleplay opportunities.

Combos
I'm not sure about Combos right now. I'd like characters to combine forces to do something more powerful than they could do alone, but I'm not sure how to implement this.
