So, what do you want your character to become over this Phase? What Aspect do you want added at the end of this time? That's your Goal.

A Goal is set for a new Phase, and is meant to be the focus what the character is aspiring to be when the Phase is done. Thus, the Goal usually turns into an Aspect rank at the end of the Phase.

That doesn't always happen, though, if it turns out that something else ended up taking precedence during the Phase (e.g., "I was aiming to become a better Professional Assassin, but ended up taking a rank of Convict after Antoine betrayed me -- though I considered taking on Long Memory, Bad Grudge, instead."

The Goal can also influence what Skills get taken over the course of the Phase.
