Ummm....I hate to be blunt, but I am in no way prepared to support anything
remotely resembling "They Live" in the context of ShadowTK. I think that
clearly qualifies as a "radical" change in world premise. I also do not like
the idea of Invae monopolizing key positions in corporate and national
government; there is already ample opportunity for intrigue and conspiracy
without invoking the ravening hordes from Beyond. I find human pro/antagonists
to be much more compelling.

Ok...so he's the <Insert random creature here> Hunter archetype...that's fine,
but I don't feel like presenting him with a "target-rich" environment just
like that. If you could state explicitly what you want to do, perhaps I can
offer some particular suggestions.
