Character Types

[Merreton]

The 4 Core Types
-Normal Human
-Adept
-GenMod
-Awakened


More may be added later, as the game progresses. Until then, let's go by the K.I.S.S. philosophy. - Keep It Simple, Stupid.

The 4 are detailed below for your viewing pleasure.

NORMAL HUMAN:

Just as it says, you'll be a normal human. From here, you can actually become any of the other types, so far as you have a good reason in your personal plotlines.

This type has no central code of morals, but you cannot have any of the abilities of the others until you become that core character type and change accordingly. However, if you PM and admin such as me, you may begin transformation if you are becoming the type Adept, which takes a little bit of time to become.

All of the other types have instantaneous transformations, and cannot have 'signs' ahead of time.

Normal humans can be anything that normal humans in the real world can be, including sword swallowers and businessmen.

ADEPT

Adepts are people who begin to manifest Abilities through training. These are usually people who have had an ability to gain a power but have it locked away. In a way, they are like lesser versions of the Awakened, but they came across their power in a different way. Adepts are typically not very strong but have honed their skill with their respective power to a razor sharpness.


POWERS OF ADEPTS:

Depends on the person, but some are:
Seeing energy fields, remote viewing, minor healing, minor harming, scattered clairvoyance, etc.

GENMOD

Thought of as monsters, these are usually people who have gained or lost something of their lives due to the meddling of scientists. These usually sympathize with the Awakened, and sometimes can't hide their differences from the general public.

GenMods usually tend to either stick together or turn to a life of crime. Many who stick together also band together with the Awakened, who take them into their safehouses.

GenMods can have anything from increased brain activity to wings, but do not have abilities in the strictest sense, their DNA has often been mixed with animals and take on those characteristics.

The DNA of an Awakened is rejected by Normal humans making human/Awakened hybrids unfeasible.

AWAKENED

The Awakened are those who have truly miraculous powers, but tend to shun fame due to the general populace's hatred of what they are. Some think they are alien hybrids, others believe that they have been genetically modified in their very core DNA by extraterrestrial forces, but the general concensus is that people are afraid.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AWAKENED AND GENMOD:
Awakened has more to do with powers of the mind and miraculous phenomena than having strange apppendages or strange qualities.

Abilities of the Awakened:

Healing, power over air, fire, water, earth, ability to cause minor natural disasters, ability to kill, telekinetic abilities, far increased brain activity, etc.

The Awakened usually live in safehouses and communities so that they can feel safe from the general public, which hates and fears them mostly.

Usually, these people are very peaceful and nature-oriented, but when provoked, they unleash terrible and mindshattering forces.
