Sherwood
Luna's Concubine
In modern age of terrorism and super heroes, the United States government is now looking for what the soldier of the future will look like, and has begun taking bids from various companies that want to deliver upon this vision. One suggests that Iron Man style powered suits is the way to go. Another wants to try cybernetics. But the scientists at the Project suggest that they induce mutation to create supersoldiers. Imagine a foot soldier able to march for days on end without sleeping, with bullet proof skin, and able to carry hundreds of pounds of gear.
In order to test the science behind this, the Project first experiments upon various terrestrial animals and insects, trying to steer genetic mutation to a desired goal each and every time. Then, the idea is pitched: Why use humans at all? Take a dog, for example. They reach maturity much faster than a human, have multiple births per litter, and are not citizens with legal rights. If a mutant dog is killed in the line of duty, there is no family to pay death benefits to, and these mutants can be raised and indoctrinated from birth to follow orders without question. A wonderful solution.
The characters in this game are all Earth-native animals and insects, built on 250 points with 50 points in assigned Disadvantages, with the required Disads of Watched by Project Staff/US Government, and Subject to Orders at zero cost.
Powers are to represent your mutations, with a max of 50 Active Points on attacks, and 20 Active Points on your defenses.
IF you have the skill for it, you can get mundane modern projectile weapons for FREE. No lasers or other special weapons, just stuff like M-16's, AK-47's, MP-5's, Hand Grenades, sniper rifles, etc.
Body armor in the form of a Flack Vest providing 6 PD/6 ED Defense on a 14- Activation roll can be gotten for free.
Forbidden powers are: Any sort of Duplication, Telepathy, Extra Dimensional Movement, Claresentience through time. Others may be added to this list as they come up.
As an example of what I'm looking for is: A humanoid rhinoceros with armored skin and super strength packing a M-60 machine gun. A shark able to breathe on land or underwater. A old party of mine made up a pack of Jurassic Park-style velociraptors packing rifles and wearing body armor. Give me a indication of what you want to do.
Also, this is a secret project, so no Secret/Public ID allowed, and you have not been seen by the public at all.
EDIT: Think of yourselves as a mutant animal SEAL or Ranger style team, and you are in the right ballpark for your skills and weapons.
