Evolve

Increase Attribute but randomly increase a Trait.
When required, Test Trait: If d10 <= Trait then act accordingly.

1-2: Anger: Make them feel your wrath!
3-4: Mercy: They're living beings, like you, please have mercy!
5-6: Regret: All those lives lost... What have you become?!
7-8: Sadness: You don't feel like doing much today.
9-0: Madness: Yes, the voices they say I should burn down that city!

Once Evolution reaches 10 points, become self-aware.

Narrate

Create a conflict, throw players against masses of enemies, let them be instruments of mass destruction. Evolve them after combat. Increase the stakes. Let them revel in their chaos and madness. Then let them become Aware... And then what?
