Sasquatch characters are limited due to their lack of comprehensible
speech, but they can use sign language to communicate, and can imitate
sounds with a high degree of skill.
Despite being recognized as a sentient species in 2042, they are still
considered little more than animals by most of (meta)humanity, and at best,
are considered to be smart pets. Few pople treat them like equals, making
thier lives harsh when they choose to live among pople. most offten,
Sasquatch live in the woods, solitary or with others of their kind.
As with all Optional Metatypes, great care should be used in allowing
players to play this race, as there is more roleplaying potential, as well
as the potential for abuse.
A high percentage of Sasquatch are magically active, with Shamans being the
majority of the magically active. Most often Sasquatch follow forest
totems, though city dwelling Sasquatch will sometimes follow city totems as
well.
Sasquatch are capable of getting cyberware, though any sort of vocal or
throat cyberware will damage their mimicing abilities. Also, even
cyberware designed to restore speach will not enable a Sasquatch to speak.
They simply cannot connect words with comprehensible speech patterns.
Bonuses: Mimicking Capabilities, +2 Body, +1 Strength, +1 reach
Penalties: Lack of speech capability, -1 Willpower, -1 Charisma
Well kids, have fun.
