Trinity : Darkness Revealed

[stonegod]

You can give me a wish list (especially for the device background). I'll take a look at your overall backgrounds (Ressources and status mostly) to determine what you can actually start with.

The idea is that Ghost is more of a stealth martial artisist/melee than heavy ordinance. Might have a back-up firearm, but not his main thing.

So, lightish armor (bioweave would be nice, but way out of range most likely; probably reinforced clothing and a field suit), claws and fighting gloves for melee (neither of which apply when doing a martial arts strike, correct? Can they both be worn at once [finger holes]), and some suggestion for a firearm (enhancer gauntlet? Something else).

What would be reasonable for the above? And what would/wouldn't be allowed on Luna from the above?

Here is a stats-only character sheet. I may shift around a little, but this is pretty much the direction I'm going. If you think the Mode Natural feat is cheese and want to drop it I won't be offended, but it's incredibly good so I took it.

That also brings up something else: Any interesting merits/flaws for an albino hick pyromaniac hunter that sneaks up behind you and breaks your neck?

 

[Ithuriel]

Here's a few-

Exceptional potenial 3pts - gives you a possibility of buying up one attribute to 6

huge size 4pts - gives you another health level and an extra stamina for bashing damage, but it's hard to find clothing and armor in your size

catlike balance 1 pt- bonus to balance rolls and it's hard to knock you down

combat vet 2pts (for legionnaires) - roll init twice, take the better roll. Need 3 dots in 2 different combat abilities to purchase this one

high pain tolerance 3pts - all wound penalties reduced by one

detached 4pt - wound penalties never apply against your psi powers. Even at incapacitated you can spend a WP to roll at half your psi pool

mode natural 5pt - gives you an extra Psi die with one of your modes

mode natural 7pt - as above plus each use of this mode costs one less psi than normal to a minimum of 0.

flaws
disfigured 3pts - 0 appearance you can't buy up. 5 app for intimidation rolls

creepy 2pts - +2 diff on social rolls, but +2 dice on intimidation rolls

I think I'm going to go with a telepath journalist embedded with a major news organization by Trinity. I'll have a sheet for you soon. By tomorrow.

Mode Natural ; with the freeform system, the 5 point version is fine, it's even a bit underpowered. I'm willing to cut it cost to 4 points (after all, for 5 point you can get a whole Psi point!). The 7 point is indeed cheese and results in psion that use that particular mode absolutely non-stop. Since in free form, one psi points purchases 2 success, It translates to 2 automatic success on every roll. Mathematically, it represents about 5 extra dice. So... no.

Investigative Journalist embedded with a major news organization ; can't you just be an Aeon Trinity investigator?

The mission starts as an investigation and your PC fits the bill as lead investigator. Even if you were acting as an undercover agent and using news accreditation as a cover, the rest of the team isn't. You can't exactly pass Stonegod's character for a cameraman. And the Luna authortities and Aesculopians Order (minor spoiler here) offer much more cooperation to Aeon Trinity than to journalists anyway. So in practice, the journalist angle will not really come up.

Maybe he used to be a journalist and kept extensive contacts in the news commnity... That would be very useful (there's a bit of interaction with the medias involved with second and third part of the trilogy).

Are you still accepting applications?

Hello,

I would have sooner expected to find a unicorn in my front yard as I would an actual Trinity game. Are you still accepting applicants? And does it matter if I barely remember the system?

Thanks,

Gerry

Yes and no. Do you still have the book or do you need help to write-up a character?

Np. I'll swap the merit out for something else.

I wasn't thinking about trying to be undercover, more of a dual role. A Trinity Investigator who has been set up with a News show to act as their mouthpiece on sensitive issues. But you have a good point in that the orders are more likely to talk confidentially to Trinity than to a media person.

I'll rethink for a minute.

Stonegod : Do you need me to make your PC, like for Hafrogman? I was under the impression you had the corebook.
