Using the Hero Games character creation process:
100 point base
175 point max
Game Limitations:
1. VERY Limited Psionics (GM discretion)
2. No Magic (GM discretion--in the original campaign I let one character
have an alien artifact that had limited control of reality. In essence
it gave him extreme luck)
3. No Energy Blasts from a person -- This is not a superhero game!
4. All super human capabilities (IE: antigravity, flight, blasters, lasers,
life-support) need to be bought through devices and Foci.
5. No "Transformer" type robots.
6. All non-standard alien races need to be logically laid out by the player
and the GM before game play begins. Anything obviously unusual will be
regarded with Xenophobia and distrust by the general public.
All Characters must choose one of these character racial groups:
o Human:
This is your standard normal human being.
o AP (artificial person/genetically engineered
person):
This is a genetically engineered individual that looks human, but can
have some superhuman qualities, such as enhanced senses, enhanced intelligence,
enhanced speed and dexterity, enhanced strength, or enhanced awareness.
This race also includes cloned individuals.
o Self-Aware Robots:
Robots are automatons that appear distinctly mechanical (such as the droids
in the "Star Wars" saga). Self aware robots are only just now
coming into being on Earth. Most self aware robots in the game would be
left-overs from some advanced star faring race.
o Self-Aware Androids:
Androids are automatons that have been designed and built be very similar
or identical to humans (such as the synthetics in the "Aliens"
saga). Self aware Androids are only just now coming into being on Earth.
They are in the first stages of design and tend to be a bit quirky and
unpredictable. Unlike Robots, there are no self aware androids left over
from previous space faring races.
o GA (Genetic Artifact/Living Artifact):
This is a genetically engineered individual that looks non-human or partially
human, but can have some superhuman qualities, such as enhanced senses,
enhanced intelligence, enhanced speed and dexterity, enhanced strength,
or enhanced awareness.
o Cyborgs: (cybernetic Organism):
Cybrorgs are humans that have had some part of them replaced with a cybernetic
replacement part. This could have been done for many different reasons:
To prevent a disease, to repair damage from an accident, to enhance mental
or physical characteristics, to gain a power or skill not innate to the
human condition.
o Halcyons:
The Halcyons are a race of shape changing humanoid. They were the first,
and only, humanoid race that the human race has encountered in its reach
for the stars. The major population of the halcyon race was killed off
by a flu virus which they contracted from the first human settlers in
their space. Out of the original 12 trillion, only a handful survives.
Humans treat halcyons like criminals and pariahs.
o Psionic Humans:
A very small portion of the general population of Earth has psionic powers.
These powers are very limited in adaptability, usability, and strength.
o Other Aliens:
Other aliens will have to be governed by the GM. All non-standard alien
races need to be logically laid out by the player and the GM before game
play begins.
