|
| Your character has two forms. A normal human form with a class schedule and homework,
| | [[File:Victorian-punk-city.jpg]] |
| and a titan form with the power to protect humanity.
| |
| | |
| First create your human character using the standard rules for a novice character
| |
| with the minor hinderance Youth (4 attribute points, 10 skill points, +1 benny).
| |
| This does not count toward your hinderances and you don't receive any benefit
| |
| from Human ancestry. Your equipment will depend on your wealth edges, if any.
| |
| You may not take any arcane backgrounds or traits that will make it too difficult
| |
| to cooperate with other people.
| |
| | |
| Next, create your titan form. Titans are large panthers with softly-glowing fur.
| |
| The titan form is obviously a supernatural designed to fight other supernatural
| |
| creatures. A titan is not a living creature, it does not bleed or have internal
| |
| organs.
| |
| | |
| All titan forms have the following traits
| |
| | |
| * +2 Toughness.
| |
| * +2 Recover from shaken.
| |
| * Doesn't breath, eat, sleep, or age.
| |
| * Immune to mundane poison and disease.
| |
| * No extra damage from called shots; but they can still cripple.
| |
| * One additional wound level with no wound penalty.
| |
| * Weakness to silver and moonlight.
| |
| * Cannot be healed with mundane methods.
| |
| * Cannot use Smarts-based skills. (But don't dump Smarts, you will need those human skills.)
| |
| * No hands, so cannot use tools or mundane equipment.
| |
| * Natural Weapons: teeth (Str +d4) & claws (Str +d4)
| |
| | |
| And traits that affect both human and titan forms.
| |
| | |
| * Transformation: Focus roll and 1 turn to transform into a titan.
| |
| * Regeneration (2pt version). Titan and human forms share the same wound levels.
| |
| * Secret Identity: If the bad guys knew you were a titan, your family would be in danger.
| |
| * You are sworn to protect human life, fight evil, and encourage peace and cooperation. (This comes from your Sapphire bond, breaking this vow will break the bond.)
| |
| | |
| [[File:Industrial-punk-city2020.jpg]] | |
| | |
| As you gain experience you will be able to make your titan forms stronger. Advancements
| |
| from completing story goals (page 54) can be use to:
| |
| | |
| * Gain 2 points of the advancements for your chose archetype.
| |
| * Gain two skill increases, to skills below the linked attribute.
| |
| * Gain one skill increase, to a skill at or above the linked attribute.
| |
| * Gain 1 "Super Edge", as the power.
| |
| * Save it for later.

| ====Tree-hugger====
| |
| | |
| Teenagers often find themselves searching for meaning and purpose. Some find their purpose in the plants and animals outside the city. Tree-huggers love their pets and potted plants and have a near-psychic connection to nature. This connection to nature makes the titan form more resilient and adaptable than most and many can even communicate with other animals.
