How far up are we allowed to be in the ranks? (of course, I'm not making a guy who sits on a desk)

Actually, when I was writing them in a story I needed an explanation for why half-succubi looked so much like full succubi. It's also why they can have so many kids with other races and not disappear as a species.

Oh.

Still suspicion. Never trust a GM unless he specifically says something.

It's an evolved ability so that their genes are passed on more heavily. Or maybe it was engineered. Who knows.

I'm going to go with engineered.
Because my GMisuptosomethingdar is acting up

Reserved for my personal character. The Director will be the example in the first post.Hebaboh: Cool. Viral reproduction, natural, or both? either will work. Or you could come up with a new or varied method of reproduction. For example, Succubi gametes kill off or overwrite competing ones, so half-succubi actually end up with most of their DNA coming from the Succubus/Incubus parent.

Wow, so even their genes are jackasses. I guess you can't blame them then.

Lol, the words 'I wonder if' tempted me to make the suggestion. Just wanting to let you see that it is possible to have syringe like bullet darts. Your character sounds like it will be pretty darn awesome :)Oh, I just have one question about the CS layout. Do you want us to add a personality section into it, or just leave it out?

Thanks a lot. Its a personal preference of mine, to make revolver toting normal or close-to-normal humans with a love for aviators and AC/DC.

Astral Ammo? Summoned? Or you could just carry insane amounts of ammo.The magebane darts block paranormal abilities, so it would make sense that they scramble your powers a bit if you try to use them on mage-bane.

I would have suggested a hammerspace for ammo, but then I nearly laughed at how abusable that would be. Fill the hammerspace with bullets, and if we come across an eldritch abomination, just empty out bullets and explosives, throw grenade into pile, and run.

So, I think I'll just go with carrying a whole lot of ammo. Not like I'm gonna use that much.

It could go active, and skip generations. Normal genes skip generations sometimes. Or the gene that unlocks our powers could skip generations. It would then lie dormant but activated until you needed it. At that point you would get one power from the set.

Hmm. That would be ideal, then. Well, on to making Coolkid Mcgee with guns. I'm pretty sure one of my tactical power would be ammunition out of metal or the material the ammo is made out of, because running out of ammo = bad

Hey there Tachyon, so your post ^above^ made me remember about one of the XXX movies (Triple X or something) with a firearm which does use syringe like darts. I just thought you might me interested in it. it's the Model 629 with the colourful bullets.

Oh yeah, Triple X... Pretty good action movie, with some... decent acting and plot. Shame about the second one.

But anyways, yeah, that would work pretty well. I was going to go with a S&W *insert one of their really powerful models here* anyways, so if we assume that the modified pistol would be provided by the BPI, that would compliment my anti-power kit pretty well. I just need to settle on a role. Battlefield control is out, damage spiking is likely, debuffing is also likely with Magebane, but I'm going to make any ammo refreshing powers not affect those darts. Or I could just pump everyone full of them, spam them everywhere, and then boom, everything ever is all right. For a bit.

Good to have you. That would work fine. If I was writing one like that, I'd go with someone like gambit who can "charge" melee weapons and bullets. You can do whatever you want, though.Also, in my stories there's something called "magebane". It's a sedative that also suppresses a person's powers. Against really strong people that's not enough to stop them, but for your run-of-the-mill otherkin it works fine.

Magebane, eh? A nice, non-lethal and battlefield control thing. I wonder if I can find a way to use syringe like darts (similar to a tranquilizer dart) in regular weapons......
I'll go look up some stuff.

Also, to have acquired the powers, is it possible for the power set to have originally materialized in the family just before what is considered modern history, and then skip generations every so often, and shows up when one of the family with the power-set touches an object with the intent to use it as a weapon? Not very well-worded, I know, but I hope you get the idea. That way I could make jokes about Audie Murphy being my character's grandfather

I'm interested, which is something really rare.
Well, I'm considering the things I could do, and I'm wondering, what kind of use would be a character based around the usage of mundane weaponry? Like, a set of powers that would assist with melee/ranged weapon usage? Because depending on what we're gonna deal with, I may or may not go with that. A character based around the usage of guns, basically.
