So, came up with two concepts for a campaign concept I am working on, and want opinion/suggestions on the from the community. Thanks
Child of the Armageddon
A Child of the Armageddon is one who carries the taint of Darkness (be it demons, Outsiders, Hell, etc) within their blood. This taint is passed down through the generations from parent to child. This taint endows the Child with an extraordinary power, however, the ability to absorb the power(s) of any Supernatural Being touched.
Musts
High Concept Must include your tainted nature (ex: Child of the Armageddon Detective, or Demon Tainted Cop)
Powers:
(-Varies) Mimic Abilities (note, as a Child is not a shapeshifter, they suffer a hunger track similar to that of a Vampire (as noted below). )
(+1) Feeding Dependency (Powers): At the end of a scene where a Child takes the powers and/or skills of another, or uses already acquired powers, they suffer an attack equal to the number of refresh taken, resisted by their discipline. Instead of a loss of powers, however, failure to deal with any stress overflow results in 1 free compel on the character per stress not absorbed.
Important Skills: None
Minimum Refresh Cost (-Varies)
From the Casefiles: Shannara Chronicles Season 2
Fiction
A fiction is exactly what is sounds like, a being formed from the imagination of a mortal. In reality, a fiction is actually a Spirit being, that has manifested a physical form based on inspiration drawn from a mortal mind. However, once the form is taken, the Being is, for all intents and purposes, the fictional character who the Spirit appears to be (ex: A Fiction of Captain James T. Kirk, IS Captain James T. Kirk physically and mentally). The Fiction does retain knowledge of who it truly is, but they will not admit this to anyone, though they do go out of their 3way to fit in (meaning Captain Kirk will blend in, not run around asking where his starship is, or shooting random people with his phaser.) While fictions can be beings out of fantasy (Halflings, dragons, etc) the spirits involved tend to prefer modern and science fiction beings to become.
Musts
High Concept Must include fictional nature (ex: Fiction Security Guard or Fiction Soldier)
Powers:
All powers are based on the character the fiction is, with the exceptions below. Most powers will manifest as Objects of Power (with only the first one getting the refund as per the rules)
Human Form (+1)
Swift Transition with No Mortal Home (-1)
Important Skills: None
Minimum Refresh Cost (-Varies)
