 October 7, 2010 - 8:53pm | I got inspired by an archetype in the FS book. This mentalist wants to remain off the grid after discovering her powers. She is scared to death someone will want to experiment on her or twist her into someone or something else. She choose the quiet life of the rim territories, where civilization meets the vast frontier. Hiding among simple folk, working hard for a living and experimenting with her powers when she is alone. Safe and secure. Until one day when they arrived. It doesn't matter who they are, there not welcome. They start pushing the local populace around, her people. Bullies. She decides to protect herself and her people. Like a raging volcano her powers erupt, "I'll make them sorry." |

October 9, 2010 - 8:57pm | What if the party was hired in a heavy populated part of the frontier as protectors to deliver a package. The package could be a very young girl/boy, teenager, young adult or someone middle aged with extraordinary mentalist powers. Lot's of obstacles along the way and maybe even Star Law/Silver Twin is after them. Perhaps the bad/good guys have a mentalist of their own that can track other mentalist. |

September 22, 2011 - 3:51pm | Clear Thinkers cadre is dedicated to getting rid of mentalist Free Thinkers cadre is dedicated to helping the mentalist Madderlian Church of Humanity's theology would cause them to view mentalist as the spawn of the daemoniac. Psy-Corp could be a new mega corp looking to cash in on mentalist tech sort of like the Blue Sun corp in Firefly. Lots of possibilities Mentalist criminals and terrorist making it easy for the normals to justify harsh treatment and jailling of the mentalist. Edit: a nice mega-city would be a good setting for this, even develop a Shadow Run tone for the game. Plus since we're talking about mentalism there is an angle for the sathar- the mentalists are hearing things during the adventure- sathar hypnotism is ill understood and could be a form of mentalism in itself. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
