[QUOTE="The_Dood, post: 1758239, member: 1880"] I was wondering if someone could help me turn my notes on a race for my new D20 campaign into a descriptive paragraph. The race has the same statistics as the [URL=http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/msrd/FutureRobots.rtf]Bioreplica[/URL] from D20 Future but I envision them as a cross between the Go'uld from Stargate and GELFs (a genetically engineered servitor race) from Seaquest; but with serious cthulthu overtones. I know this is a big ask but I hope someone out there is significantly inspired to help me out. If not I hope by reading this you get something out of it. Brief Summary of my campaign. Set in the present day, the campaign sees the PCs working for an military agency tasked with suppressing the threat posed by the cthulthu mythos. Think of the campaign as a high-action Conspiracy X/Stargate/XCOM: Ufo defence but instead of aliens it's the mythos - you'll have the right idea. My notes on the Frankensteins. [list] [*]A Frankenstein's "outer-casing" is the skin from a newly deceased individual, most comonly death row criminals as their skin is unmarked by damage or age. [*]Frankensteins who suffer severe damage are given skin grafts to hide their internal systems. Frankensteins with several skin grafts have the appearance of a stiched together corpse; hence the name given to them by the agency: Frankensteins. [*]Their chests are covered in glowing pictograms of aztec origin. [*]The glowing pictograms are one of the components to trapping the spirit of an aztec deity within the body. [*]The intenisty of the glow is proportional to the emotions of the spirit trapped within. [*]Internally their systems are a combination of clockwork mechanisms and fake organs, the clockwork mechanisms control movement and keep the heart regulated whilst the fake organs pump dark ichor around the body giving it a life-like appearance.
