Monash the RolePlaying
SuperHeros!
by Damien Moore
Yes, its the fabulous new extension to Monash:the Roleplaying - MRP:Supers!
Now you instead of being a normal human, you can use your super powers
for good, evil, silly or just plain odd.
All these powers are based off a percentile roll, and therefore don't
always suceed. Some powers are automatic, others require a conscious
effort to use. Here are some sample powers from the new release:
- Scary exterior
- Auto, all alignments
Something about your physical appearance terrifies the mundanes.
You may have an odd glint in your eye, weird piercings, a habit of
arriving at speed or from a great height, or a disturbing tentacle.
- Scary interior
- Auto, all alignments
Something about your internal workings has the ability to terrify
or baffle the mundanes. This power, while automatic, does not work
instantly - you need to sit and talk with the victims before its
devastating effects become apparent. Sample scariness - psychotic,
rabid Christian/atheist, no social filters, sexual fetishes, attention
deficit disorder.
- Enthrall
- Conscious, evil/odd
You have the ability to cause mundanes to submit to your will,
and to lose all conscious ability to think for themselves. They will
check with you regarding all and any minutae in their lives before
making a decision on their own. You may encourage them to peform
any act, no matter how depraved, or leave them frustrated and waiting
on your every word.
- Rort
- Conscious, evil
- Through the use of this power you can cause financial records
to blur and become unreadable, grant applications to instantaneously
be approved and funds to be transferred and then the records lost.
- Puppetry
- Conscious, evil/silly
- Your powers grow daily! This power allows you to take control
of a committee member and force them to do your bidding. They will
believe their actions to be of their own devising, yet they are
completely subservient to your will. This is a great way of controlling
the committee without doing any work.
- Carpetry
- Conscious, good/odd
- By careful use of your telepathic powers, you can induce
the presence of various floor coverings at any gathering, in
order to cushion others from various hard realities.
- Sleep Anytime
- Conscious, any
- You need no regular sleep patterns, but through a sucessful
exercise of this power, can fall asleep anytime, anywhere. This can
be of great use when powers of boredom are brought to bear against
you.
- Resist Lewd
- Automatic, good/odd
- You posess an inate ability to resist even the most attractive
offers of intimate friendships. This resistence can give you great
strength at times of need but may interest the forces of Eevil in
your shining purity.
- Distorted Image
- Automatic, any.
- Technological devices are unable to detect or record an accurate
image of you. Cameras, single shot or video, sound recordings and
other electronic equipment always store a distorted and unrecognisable
image or recording.
- Body Contortions
- Automatic, any
- This power allows you to twist and distort your body into totally
unnatural shapes. This not only provides the ability to escape from (or
break into) small places, but can have a revulsion-inducing effect on
mundanes who see the unspeakable effects on your limbs and torso.
- Destroy Technology
- Conscious, evil/odd
- Your will can be used to destroy technology at whim. Depending on
the item, you may be required to touch the item, or utter certain
key phrases such as "Can I have a look at it?" or "oops". The device
will cease to work in any predictable fashion ever again.
- Beserk Frenzy
- Conscious, evil/odd
- You have the ability to enter a beserk frenzy and destroy all
about you. It can sometimes backfire and launch itself against friends
as well as foes, especially when you are confused or befuddled.
- Mimic Innocence
- Conscious, evil/odd
- You can hide your evil or odd side from others around you. They
will believe, until presented with overwhelming evidence, that you
are sweet and innocent and nice. Alcohol usually negates your power
and reveals your true depravity.
- Mimic Evil
- Conscious, good/silly
- You can hide your good or silly side from others around you. They
will believe, until presented with overwhelming evidence, that you
are truly deranged or evil, right up to the moment of truth. Alcohol,
or visiting your bedroom, usually negates your power
and reveals your true innocence.
