I had an idea for a (super?)heroic character that I am calling THE ORGONAUT, who is a master of accumulating and using orgone to defeat his foes and solve problems. When the idea popped into my head, I envisioned a character who wore (or manifested) a suit of armor that was kind of like Iron Man’s, but more...organic: if you will, that kind of character as imagined by one of the great artists of Art Nouveau. Flowing lines, muted colors. Possibly even vinelike protrusions.
According to Wikipedia, Orgone is:
So it’s kind of like The Force, or prana. According to various sources, Orgone can
* Neutralize EMF radiation
* Clear negative energy
* Aid in meditation
* Support restful sleep
* Enhance lucid dreaming
* Relieve stress
* Purify the atmosphere and manipulate weather
* Detoxify water
* Improve plant growth
* Augments resistance to illness, but doesn’t cure it.
* Enhances psychological and spiritual growth
* Emits positive energy (evil can’t stand being around it)
And so forth.
I can see this character manipulating the “positive vibes” via auras to change moods and fend off evil beings. I can see orgone energy powering his body to (slightly) superhuman levels of strength, speed, and healing.
But before I go too far into my own headspace, I was wondering what ideas others might have.
I don’t care about the system. I can see someone doing this PC as a D&D character (like a Paladin/Beguiler/Geomancer), a supers in HERO, or maybe some kind of Mage from the WoD games. I just want to find out where people might go with this concept. What powers and abilities he might have.
According to Wikipedia, Orgone is:
a pseudo-scientific spiritual concept variously described as an esoteric energy or hypothetical universal life force. Originally proposed in the 1930s by Wilhelm Reich, and developed by Reich's student Charles Kelley after Reich's death in 1957, orgone was conceived as the anti-entropic principle of the universe, a creative substratum in all of nature comparable to Mesmer's animal magnetism (1779), to the Odic force (1845) of Carl Reichenbach and to Henri Bergson's élan vital (1907).
