Exactly. Aspects (or at least the good ones) are double edged swords. So Corwin's "Norse God in Training" aspect gets used both for "I can make cool shit happen" but also "I can get caught up in Aseir politics", depending on who's spending the Fate Points. It's a pretty elegant system.

ARRPG is also nice because it's skills are broken into groups called Modes, which can be called whatever you want. Jenkins, in fact, has Survival mode, Action mode, and (for when shit gets nasty) Jenkins Mode.
