Genetic Templates

Sidebar: Yes, they really are superior

"Why are transgenic templates free? That's not very fair."

Emergent Properties is an unabashedly transhumanist setting. A fundamental element of the setting is that the human body and mind can and will be improved through the application of technology. Moreover, and more importantly, Emergent Properties does not take a position on the morality of human enhancement. Like any other technology human enhancement can be used to improve the lot of those affected, or be used to conduct repression on a grand scale.

What Emergent Properties does not make any apologies for is the simple position that transhumans are superior. That is, after all, the entire point of the multigenerational exercise that a substantial segment of the human population has been engaged in. Transhumans in all their myriad forms are improvements upon the 'normal' humans that we, the players and GMs, are familiar with. In Emergent Properties being a transhuman is not just an informed attribute; it is a very real thing .

Life Events

Any excess CP for a skill that would be insuficient to reach the next rank (eg, having 6 CP in a skill - enough to get rank 3 but 2 CP short of rank 4) can either refund the excess into a character's general CP pool or spend CP to make up the shortage.

Rank 3 skills (4 CP each)

Rank 2 skills (2 CP each)

Rank 1 skills (1 CP each)

All characters must take one Educational Background to determine their initial skill spread. These fill a character's early life up to the point at which they stopped focussing on education

Childhood/family situation? Have to determine what it affects.
