Trinity : Darkness Revealed

Kookalouris: That's serviceable enough but you are missing one point in social attribute. That five extra points in mode amount to 20 freebie so you are still missing one point as far as I can see.

Psi 4, Willpower 5, add a point in social attribute, spend the extra freebie point and you are set.

Also, are you working full time for Trinity or Aeon? Put a free background point in status with your choice.

I'll post Velmont's character sunday night.

Folks, we seem damn close to being able to start that campaign! With 5 PC, no less. I'm happily surprised.

Sunday is Zero Hour...

I think I can have everything ready to go by Sunday night (when Velmont's character sheet should be up as well).

I'm a little rushed but...

how should a biokinetic buy the appearance attribute, as a decent BK should be able to just WILL themselves into any face (gorgeous or 'nice personality' as mission requirements dictate)?

As much as you can tell me, Mal, what is the Norca's and/or Aoen's opinion of the importance of the game mission as it seems at game start, this will let me decide how JH is thought of to have been on the mission in the first place. (a milk run gets a screw up or a young cadet, a truly important mission get the cream of the Norca youth)?

To be as healthy as they are, a BK is genetically a very young healthy body, but could JH have been an OLD fart before the dunking? And what kind of lifespan can a biokinetic expect (normal, unaging, aging quickkly, does anyone really know as the Psions are relatively new)?

Thanks as always for your help and, don't forget, team, DriveThru is currently having a sale on Trinity .pdf's for at least a few more days...
 

Appearance : It's a bit more than just being pretty. It's also sheer magnetism and sex appeal. It means having a natural talent for 'presentation'. Notice that the Intimidation and Style skills are derived from appearance. In RL term, I could point out many Hollywood actors and actresses who aren't objectively beautiful people but who are quite dashing on the red carpet. The reverse is true.

So if a Norca with an appearance 1 and Style 0 Shapeshifts into a top-model, she'll have her figure but not her poise. She'll look like a clumsy, hot librarian.
Some men may be turned on, but there will be no doubt that this hottie is no top model and most people may snicker at how gauche she appears and behave. The power might be used to buy one or two automatic success in a seduction attempt, for example, but that's about it; the rest must be generated by skill rolls.

I guess that's a fair warning; there's more to portraying a top-model or copying the CEO of Lumen than just looking the part. You also have to act the part. At first glance, your PC isn't good at it. That's not a criticism; you can't be good at everything, you must make choices! And indeed, the team was a little lightweight in a fight so it's good to have at least two PCs who are very tough out of five. Early on it seems like overkill but later on... Beside, there are many other uses to Transmogrify 3 beside copycat jobs and social infiltrations.

While I'm on it, not having firearms at all is a little excessive. It's cool to focus on martial arts, but at least be trained in firearms. Sometime, bad guys just aren't within arm's reach and running at them screaming isn't an option...

Maybe just one or two social skills would be good also. Since charisma is your strongest social attribute, a single dot in etiquette and/or savvy could go a long way.

The opinion of the importance of the mission is extremely low for everyone concerned except the control agent, Hector Ramirez. Given the priority level, this mission could have been assigned to a team of two non-psi agent, or at most 1 psion and 1 normal. But Ramirrez pulled strings to make sure a whole team of trained psion with multiple aptitudes would take it on, even if it meant that most of these psions would be rookies and/or associates instead of senior Trinity agents.

If you are a full Trinity agent, you get the assignement simply because you are a rookie and this is up your alley.

If you are a Norça agent, it might be interpreted as a little demeaning to have been loaned for such a low profile assignement. Usually, it's done for bigger assignment.

Age : Psion are dunked when they are found. If they are mere kids, great. If they are 50+, so be it. That's true in all orders, though Norca is more selective. But if the older candidate is deemed good enough by Del Fuego, he's in.

Psion who aren't killed violently probably have a longer life expectancy than normal humans. But that's mostly because they tend to be healthier (and have easy access to a Vitakinetics). There is no aging rules in Trinity which is usually interpreted to mean that Psion only suffer the effect of aging in their last years.

Kerry et Rich Jospeh are twins. Born from Peter Jospeh and Maria Bishop, two rich owner in the Cap, in South Africa. They have been raise din the sceurity of the family's mansion, with private teachers. They ahd during a long time only themsleves as friends, being isolated from the outside society.

There first true contact with the outside world is when they enter the High Schools. They where both sent to Boston, where an uncle was living. They enter Notre-Dame. At the end of there high school, for the first time of there life, they split, taking each there own road.

Kerry enter the MIT and starts his study in Physics while Rich enter Havard in Technology and Operation Management. They both fare well in there studies, but being split apart most of the days, the twins starts to devellop an individuality of there own.

Kerry finish his bachelor degree and decide to continue with a mastery. The first contact with the Quins just happened and with a lot of motivation, Kerry decide to make his mastery on this alien race and there technology. The establishment of the ambassy the next year help him greatly. During that time, Rich decide to continue his study in Marketing.

In 2011, Orgotek contact the twins. They were interested to have Kerry in there R&D department and Rich in there marketing department. They both accept. But it is a few month later they discover the true meaning of this offer. Orgotek had evaluated the potential of both twins to become Psions. When they have been offered to enter the Prometheus chamber, they took a few days of thinking. For the first time of there life, the twins diagree in there opinion. They had a quarrel. Kerry decide to accept and became an Electrokinetic, but Rich decide to go back to the Cap.

Kerry continue to study the aliens race, and with the apparition of the chromatics, it is not the lack of field of study that was lacking. During that time, Rich was contacted by the Upeo Wa Macho. He accepte there offer and become a Teleporter.

In 2014, it has been now two years that Rich and Kerry didn't talk to each other. During a family reunion at the Cap, the reunite themselves. The feud was forgotten and they become like to finger of an hand, just like old time. But that was short, a month later, all Teleporter was gone and Paris was destroyed.

A year later, Trinity contact him. They wanted his expertise with the Quins technology. They spoke with him about the project Leviathan. Kerry accepted, but at one condition, that he would be part of any mission that would be related to the search of the teleporter. Once agreed, Kerry left orgotek and joined Trinity. The first three years, he worked on the Leviathan project alone, but during the last two years, he was given a black ops agent training, now the Levithan project was well advanced. Now the project is about to finish, he would have more time to spend on some other kind of work. And Kerry hope to find back one day the missing teleporters.

A few spare moments...

Again, rushed...

Mal, I appreciate all of your advice and like all your suggestions, I will incorporate them in the final draft Sunday night.

I especially LIKE the idea of a physically perfect but utterly socially inept chameleon, it provides an explaination of why JH doesn't generally operate solo & may offer a rare oppurtunity for comedy.

More to come...
 


Let's try that again, be glad kittens don't use keyboards well...

JH, Mk II

Semper Feline... ;)

Never trust a kitten. Sure, they are cute when they are walking on your keyboard but that's just because they haven't yet figured out the NORAD launch sequence.

I don't have the time I had hoped to guarantee the epic (EPIC!!) story of JH, so let me get the bare minimum together tonight so that I don't hold up the game (maybe I can fill in the gaps later).

A re-amended character sheet, again, nothing is cast in stone.

Character Stats:

Backgrounds

Social
Appearance 2
Manipulation 2
Charisma 2

Mental
Perception 3
Intelligence 3
Wits 2

Physical
Strength 3
Dexterity 3
Stamina 4



Athletics 3
Martial Arts 2
Stealth 2
Savvy 1
Firearms 1
Intrusion 1

Awareness 2
Endurance 3
Resistance 3
Medicine 3
Ettiquette 1
Pilot 1

Aptitudes
Transmogrify 3
Adaptation 2
Psychomorphing 3

Background
Cipher 4
Resources 3
Contact (GM's suggestion, otherwise Norca buddy)
Status 1 (Aeon freebie)

OK, used the extra social attribute point and evened out the social stats.
Spread out the Norca training points to include Firearms and Savvy.
Reduced Awareness and added Ettiquette.
Freebie point spent on Contact.
JH is a member of Aeon. He has decided that finding his family is the most important thing to him. He fully intends to then return to Norca (the skillset in character creation is from recent Norca training. I leave it to you whether they consider him on leave, AWOL, or traitor) and 'make up' any missed duties to his order later. He has not revealed any of the few Norca secrets he knows (which may not make Del Fuego any more forgiving).

I think JH is legal and the game can start. I may amend this before the morning if I can but otherwise I will hold to it.

Next up a brief character background so the game can start.
