This brings up the question...

Do our characters age?

That brings up an interesting question. It might cause problems to have all of our characters age independantly, and actually going by real life years would take far too long for most purposes.

I'd say we're about halfway with all these new perks. Nice work, everyone.

Not to distract from the perks we still need, but the current event substories will likely close by the end of the week. Most of them are headed towards finishing up, and those that aren't could easily be brought in that direction with a few post.

Name- The Third Opinion

When it comes to politics, there is a path less travelled… neutrality.

Prerequisites-  -75-+75 Karma Lvl 5

Explanation- Sometimes you just need to step back and pull the ‘get a third party’ option. You just so happen to be that option. By maintaining neutral karma you have a different perspective that the so-called ‘evil’ and ‘good’ folk might not be able to see. You are able to not let personal opinions get in the way of seeing the bigger picture or hidden agendas.

Suggested Use- In order to maintain this perk you must have neutral karma between the above range. In general you gain +1 Perception and an additional point whenever you are in conversation with someone.


Alright, since nobody else made a perk for neutral characters, I went ahead and did it. I would like opinions.

Fanatic
My side, or no side.

Requirements: Level 4, Int 5 or lower.

Explanation: You are an extreme follower of…something. A religion, a philosophy, a group, whatever. You think that your side is right, and the rest are stupid or insane. An outside observer might call this a little crazy, since you only consider what you already agree in and nothing else.

Suggested Use: Fanatic gives a boost to your character’ Offensive statistic when fighting someone who believes the opposite of what you do. (Ex. If you believe in a Religion, then you gain a bonus fighting someone of an opposite religion or atheists. If you are in atheist, you gain a bonus fighting someone who is religious.) However, people outside of what you fight for/believe in as a crazy kook. As such, you lose a 2 Charisma points when talking to people outside of fellow believers.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Criminal Record
“Well Mr. Smith, we see you have a record…”

Requirements: To have committed a crime and caught for it.

Explanation: Hey, sometimes lawmen do a little bit of bookkeeping. Generally, it’s just a name, a short description, and what they did. However, that passes around very quickly. If your caught for a crime in East Texas, lawmen in Florida will hear about it sooner or later. Still, some Criminals also use this as sort of a “calling-card”. Some of the more infamous criminals only associate with people who did the same sort of crime

Suggested Use: Great for Criminal-type characters or those un-lucky enough to be caught. When dealing with a law-man, you instantly lose 2 points of Charisma for the time talking to the lawman; due to the fact that he more wants to lock you up for a crime then talk to you. But, when talking to the shady-types, you gain 2 points of Charisma with them; due to respect you get from having a record.

I'm chipping in here.

Quote:
 

Emotional Appeal
"Aww...come on now...please don't start crying..."
Requirements: Level 5, CHA 7 or greater
Description: When it comes to histrionics, you're the best. Just turn that tear valve, and, pretty soon, you'll get what you want. Either you've got a powerful personality or you're a really good actor, but, either way, you can make use of appeals to emotion to get what you want.
Suggested Use: When a conversation isn't going the way you want it to, you can appeal to your listener through displays of emotion, whether it be anger, sadness, or anything else you fancy. Although such displays may not work on the smarter or colder members of society, there is a chance that you can turn people to doing your bidding. In combat, you can even use this perk to discourage enemies from attacking!

Trapper
"You know, you really should watch where you step..."
Requirements: Level 10, INT 6 or greater
Description:You've always been a bright cookie. Now research and experience lets you prove it! You know how to construct and hide traps of various kinds in order to hunt prey and snare enemies. With a little bit of planning, you can snare a dog with little effort or turn a sure loss into an inspiring gain.
Suggested Use: When hunting or preparing for an attack, you have the ability to construct traps from scrap materials or anything you have on you. You also have the ability to hide these traps in cunning ways to avoid detection. Although perceptive enemies may not be fooled, the vast majority of your foes will blunder right into your traps. Characters with higher INT can better hide their traps, and only characters with equal or higher PER can spot these traps. Characters should construct traps based on their skills. A character skilled in explosives rigs a grenade trap, creates a mine, or skillfully hides a mine, for example.

Bump. And double post. Yeah, sue me, but I have another idea.

Rabble Rouser
People in dire straits will listen to anyone.
Requirements: Level 15, CHA 6 or greater, Karma -100 or less
Description: Fiery oratory, intense charisma, and much, much, practice have finally paid off. You now have the skills necessary to incite any regular group of law-abiding citizens into a murderous, frenzied mob!
Suggested Use: When you need someone (or several someones) to do your dirty work, who better to turn to then the masses? By making use of your conversation skills, you're able to turn the people of any town into a frenzied, murderous mob. Preferably, said mob should have a large and looming problem that you can scapegoat onto something that you need removed. Groups become more difficult to control and convince based upon the members' karma levels and the group's size but, if successful, you can lead the mob on a crusade of destruction and wash your hands of whatever happens.

Free Running
Leaping across rooftops like walking on a road

Requirements: Level 6, Agility 7 or higher.

Explanation: You learned, both from practice or watching someone else, to do Free running. You can leap from building to building just as easy as walking down on the street. The trick is, however, is not falling.

Suggested Use: You can now move faster in urban environments by using the roof-tops and crumbled buildings rather then the streets below. However, you must find a way to the roofs; wether by stairs or by some other way.

Kicking perk production back into gear. With characters starting to hit five, now's the time to do it. Rewards will be given out randomly by PM to posters who put up a perk. Multiple perks means multiple chances to win. Let's crank a few out so we can at least set up level five and part of level 10's perks, eh?
