[QUOTE="ThWatcher, post: 5004539, member: 86237"] Well, if it was going to be just 1930's and 1940's tech and 'cold war' spying, I'd say I'd pass, but.... Since it appears that there might also be 'men staring at goats' and other mysterious powers being used, I think I'd like to give it a try. So, how weird and/or beyond normal can I make my character's background? Can I have a character who is a shaman-in-training with no real powers yet? Can I have a character who was/is a part of a CIA mind-powers experiments, but hasn't shown any powers yet? Can I have a character who designs and builds things a level beyond what is normally available? (ex: If they knew how, all the tech was available in the 1930's, or before, to build laser weapons. The batteries wouldn't last for very many shots, but it could have been done.) Are there any weird/strange/fantastic areas of your world/universe that you might want a character to be involved in? (Some hints could help me start a character in that direction.) Basically, I'm looking for enough knowledge of any weird/strange/fantastic areas of your world that are available now and/or after game play is running so that I can try to come up with a character concept and background. I'm not asking you to give away the things you want to save till in-game. Just some pointers of directions might allow my character to eventually become something different or beyond what normal humans are capable of. It may be that I'm not asking the right questions, but the more I know, the better I will be able to ask about and define my character concept and back ground. [/QUOTE]
