[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5612059, member: 4936"] Hmm...perhaps some kind of 'psi-messiah' type then. I could adapt an idea for a character I made for another game. Have a cultish sort of secretive society dedicated to the creaton of a perfect being via a centuries-long eugenics program between Exalted germlines that had been genetically manipulated in ages past. Each generation, the strongest child of those pairings is considered a candidate to become a prophesied one who will push the chaos back and found a new golden age not on corrupting technology, but on the power of mind, body and spirit working as one to make miracles. Oddly, despite its origins in genetic manipulation and eugenics, it's a humanist order, not transhumanist. They insist that everyone has the potential to unlock this awareness, to one extent or another. Many are led astray by the lure of technology, which rewards and promotes sloth and indolence. Others are blinded by their vices. Etc etc. My character might or might not be this person...over the ages there have been many candidates, but no true messiahs. But it would give me license to purchase psychokinetic and psychocreative ranged blasts and control powers, as well a telepathic and charismatic influence. And perhaps a small but devoted cult. :) [/QUOTE]
