flames, whatever. Note that i use the name rocker for lack of a better word
ther would not be many of these guys walking around. or maybe there are
more than everyone would like... Also, i do not have the advantage of
having shadowbeat to aid me in this, so if anything in there would be helpful,
please let me know.
THE NEW IMPROVED ROCKERS (CAUSE THE OLD ONES WERE BORING)
Rockers, vid-stars, and politician are constantly in the
public eye. Fame brings with it a certain amount of recognition.
Some, however, seek to take their fame to new levels.
Emotion Enhancer
level essence cost
1 2 60,000Y
2 3.5 300,000Y
3 5 1,500,000Y
level 1 would be a rocker that has a big name locally, in a
city, but not as much on the national scene. He would be good
swaying individual people, but less so for crowds.
level 2 would be someone who is starting to make it big
around the entire state. He would be better at bigger crowds, but
starting to loose himself as a people person (fame could be going
to his head)
level 3. The crowd will bend to pretty much anything. the
single person will be in awe of your presence. Walking down the
street becomes almost an impossibility.
swaying the crowd:
level one: (the single)
Suggestion (single person): You say "wouldn't you like to
walk around that corner?" and the person say's yah,
and leaves. Note that a person being influenced will
not harm himself or others if it is not already in his
nature.
Control Emotion (single person): The swaying of emotions of
a person. From content to depressed, or whatever.
level two:
Control Actions (single person): more effective that
suggestion. Personal harm becomes possible with a
direct command.
Mob Mood: Same as control emotion, but works on a number of
people at a time.
level three:
Mob Mind: What you are saying 'sticks' in the peoples minds.
If you are singing "kill your dog" there are going to
be an awful lot of dog food companies loosing money.
GM NOTE: these abilities only work in a live performance. A
record with suggestive lyrics will not affect the
people, so you have to be good to draw the crowd in the
first place.
how to use this nifty new cyber:
+1 charisma for each level
for ability use:
getting the target number:
change emotions:
Targets willpower plus modifiers on table below.
happy content angry depressed sad
happy ----- +1 +4 +4 +4
content +1 ------- +3 +3 +3
angry +4 +3 ----- +3 +3
depressed +4 +3 +3 --------- +0
sad +4 +3 +3 +0 ---
Any not covered here is up to the GM. (that's what
he's there for)
control thought:
generally it will be the willpower of the target,
or the average of the crow plus a modifier for
what the rocker wants them to do. I'll leave that
up to the GM
The performance, or oration skill is required for it's use.
Instrumental music, vocal music, musical composition, and speech
writing are all background for these two skills.
ok, now for the nitty gritty rules stuff. The rocker would
roll his performance or oration skills against the target. if it
is successful assume the target or targets will act accordingly.
the performance skill can never be higher than your charisma.
helpful stuff:
shadowtech:
tailored pheromones
reflex recorder
extended lung volume
regular gear:
voice modulation
-increased volume
-tonal shift
-Secondary pattern
synth link
cosmetic/plastic surgery
--Iron Claw (i'm back/folks)
"we create munchkins to deal with munchkins"
--
If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a green dress
But not a real green dress that's cruel
--BareNaked Ladies, $1,000,000
Huh? Nevermind. I donno, I just got here.
