You Are A Power Leech
« on: December 21, 2012, 06:43:38 pm »

Your world is a world of heroes and villains. Their powers are of all types and origins. In this world, maybe three or four percent of people have powers, about three in four of these know it, and around 0.5% are either full-time heroes or the villains whom they oppose.

You are a Power Leech, someone who can gain the powers of various other heroes by consuming their bodily fluids. But before your tale an start, we must learn about what you are.

What is your name?
What is your gender?
What do you look like?
How old were you when you first discovered that you were a Power Leech?

Acquiring Powers:
You need to ingest bodily fluids of a superpowered individual. Superpowers derived from technology, (Iron Man, cyborgs, etc) are not acquirible, and powers derived from other individuals (divine-origin powers, for instance) take about twice as much fluid to absorb.
Powers cannot be absorbed in full from a simple drop of saliva. They are typically gained bit by bit:
This percentage is divided among various categories, such as Strength and Reliability. For instance, if you have the Super Strength of Redthunder, who is as strong as four and a half men, at 10%, you could have 1/10 Strength, making you about a third stronger. If you have telepathy at 5%, it could have Strength at 3/4 and Reliability at 1/15, meaning that you would fail to read minds or whatever most of the time.
Various powers can be gained from different individuals, and they stack. In addition, you can gain multiple powers from the same individual.

Skills:
Skill rolls are on a d20.
Untrained skills are at -5. Knowledgeable skills are at -3. Inexperienced skills are at -1. Experienced skills are at +1 per "level" of experience--if your Firearms skill is Experienced III, you have a +3 bonus to Firearms rolls.

Dare I ask, but what fluids count? I'm assuming blood does, but what about ahem, other, ones?

Pretty much any liquids generated by the body. Saliva, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, those yucky things you were worried about...
Blood is among the best, if not THE best, though. You also don't get the full power with one sip.

In that case, let's just start off as a prostitute. Then we can sit back and let the powers come to us.

You have to consume the fluids orally. Also, no.

I'd rather not be an evil character, but that's just me. Also, we gotta be PG here remember.

Is there a hierarchy of power for the liquids then?

And how long do we keep the powers for?

I don't see any problems with that.

Also, no.

Hmph. Fine.

That could wor-
No.

You're gonna force us to take the hard route, aren't you?

EDIT: Hmm, how about if we be a Power Leech...that's also a literal leech? That could allow us to steal peoples' powers with minimal chance of detection.
