Character Generation/Possessed

Choose: Concept, Nature, Demeanor, Type (Kami, Gorgon, Fomor or Drone), Faction

• Faction: Kami -> Gaian, Gorgon -> Wyld, Fomor -> Wyrm, Drone -> Weaver
• Fomori can also optionally set Breed (see below for some requirements/suggestions)
• Fomori directly employed by Pentex should set Affiliation = Pentex

Stat	Baseline	Freebies per additional dot
Attributes	1 in each + 6/4/3	5
Abilities	11/7/4	2
Powers	5	not increased with freebies, see below
Backgrounds	5	1
Willpower	3	1
Autonomy	9 perm 10 temp (non-kami only)
Rage (if Berserker power taken)	3	1
Gnosis (if Spirit Ties power taken)	1	2
Freebies	21

Fomori declared as Pentex employees in chargen also get some free backgrounds (Possessed 39):

• Resources 2
• Contacts 2 (limited to other Pentex employees)
• Equipment 1

Possessed powers:

• 5 free
• Drones, Fomori, Gorgons: Additional points can be purchased for 2 Temporary Autonomy each
• Kami, Fomori, Gorgons: Additional points can be purchased by taking an equal number of Taints
• Gorgons: Not actually possessed humans (Possessed 64), thus need Skinshift or some other ability to look human

Autonomy:

• Reduced as needed to pay for powers (see above)
• Reduced by the Consecrated background: 1 = 3T, 2 = 5T, 3 = 1P, 4 = 2P, 5 = 3P

Kami: Set +notes for mission statement (what did Gaia create you to do?) and geas (something you're banned from doing)

• Possessed 82-83: missions are individual, short-term (no long elaborate infiltration of the enemy), and generally involve defending land and living creatures (as a whole, not necessarily individuals)

Taints: However many you want (Drones cannot take Taints).

Willpower cannot exceed Autonomy. Permanent Autonomy can never be lower than 4. (Again, Kami do not have Autonomy.)

Staff should set +effects for the following

• Enhanced Attribute: +1 (max 8) per 2 power dots
• Exoskeleton: +1 Str/Sta
• Unnatural Strength: +4 Str
  • Cannot have both Enhanced Attribute (Str) and Unnatural Strength
  • House rule: These three are limited to +8 per category and +12 total
• Bestial Mutation: covered by +shift (you should really take Hidden Power merit at this point)
• Size: +/-1 per 2 power dots

Other +sheet updates based on powers

• Bulky: +3 health
• Size: +/-1 health per 2 power dots
• Thick-Skinned: +1 health per time it's taken (4 dots per time, max times = base Stamina)
• Berserker: Rage (base 3, can be raised with freebies/XP)
• Spirit Ties: Gnosis (base 1, can be raised with freebies/XP)

• This takes precedence over BotWyrm (Possessed is newer)
• Toads (BotWyrm 116) will be reviewed if/when someone apps one
