[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1402376, member: 12744"] Thanks. The idea is similar to what my Modern character has happening to him, except he knew a little bit about it when he got into it. You can read about it some in the Medallions Story hour in my sig, some of the fun stuff should be coming up in the story soon. I think it would be a big boat-load of RBDM fun to do this to a player; they think they are doing magic or psionics but it's really some old god or demon that is working through them that has another completely seperate agenda of it's own. As far as organizations, here is some that would work with this idea: 1) a secret order of priests from the catholic church (or any other), who feel it is their holy duty to search out and destroy the 'avatars' of these roaming gods/demons/whatever. The PC would know nothing except that occasionally these italian guys start screaming at her in latin and try to kill her with exotic looking weapons. Maybe fragments of old scriptures or texts could leave a trail of clues to this order, and as the PC gets closer to them she starts to realize what she truly is. 2) a government shadow organization wants to "recruit" people with this "condition" to work for them. They are subtle and not overtly active or visible, but can be, ahem, very persuasive (think Enemy of the State persuasive). 3) a consortium of businessmen who use their psychic powers to influence global markets, economies, and politics for their own secret agenda (Zaibastu, etc). They may notice this person and occasionally help/hinder her for reasons of their own, or the PC may become an unwitting pawn in one of their games. None of the members are truly known or seen, as the whole thing is wrapped up in mind control, innuendo, deceit, and conspiracy, all centered around controlling the flow of money. [/QUOTE]
