YupYup. I forgot about the screening part, but, even the most ardent
followers of evi--err Aztlan/Aztechnology can become disillusioned. I
was thinking this would be a great place for a Hunted 6 flaw or if you
allow more than 6 points of flaws (come on, somepeople are REALLY fooked
up ;), A Hunted 4 and Bad Karma. Distinctive Style could also be
appropriate (Runic Scars)...
As for Edges, this would be a good reason to give a mage (burned-out or
not) Toughness, High Pain Tolerance, or maybe even Quick Healer...

Yup. If this were allowed it be vewwy intewesting RPing ... hmmm ...
would a native Aztlaner speak english (or speak it well)? Now that he
has turned against his darklords, what would his new path be? The
elimination of all blood magic? To spread awareness of Aztlan's
activities?

I dunno ... I'm not gonna give it much thought ... Just a curiousity :)
