CthulhuTech: Difference between revisions

Line 42:

* [[Cast From Hit Points]]: If a psychic runs out of MP, he can choose to do this. Just don't go near him [[Power Incontinence|for a few hours afterwards]].

* [[Child By Rape]]: Most Deep One Hybrids, though hardly all.

* [[CIA Evil FBI Good|OIS Evil FSB Good]]: The [[State Sec|OIS]] gets a far worse rap than the [[FBI|FSB]] in the books; while it's portrayed on the whole as [[Necessarily Evil]], the moment a criminal goes into OIS hands, all concepts of human rights go out the window. The FSB, by contrast, have an organizational culture of integrity, their largest division is [[Internal Affairs]] to keep the cults out, and generally play their cases [[By-The-Book Cop|by the book]].

* [[CIA Evil, FBI Good|OIS Evil FSB Good]]: The [[State Sec|OIS]] gets a far worse rap than the [[FBI|FSB]] in the books; while it's portrayed on the whole as [[Necessarily Evil]], the moment a criminal goes into OIS hands, all concepts of human rights go out the window.

* [[Cloning Blues]]: The Nazzadi have mostly gotten over theirs, although the game mentions they still get sore when something reminds them of it.

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: The Chrysalis Corporation takes it to a whole new level, insofar as their Director is actually ''Nyarlathotep''. Don't think anyone else is gonna be toppin' ''that'' one any time soon.

Line 58:

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: The Engels, which the core rulebook admits are essentially [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelions]].

* [[Fake Memories]]: The Migou made the Nazzadi think that they were millennia-old galactic conquerors instead of a newly-made clone race. The Nazzadi finding out that these memories were fake led to their [[Heel Face Turn]].

* [[Free Love Future]]: Casual sex is seen as perfectly normal in the 2080's, although most people use it as a way to eventually meet someone with which they want to have a monogamous relationship - and, y'know, because sex feels good.

* [[Free-Love Future]]: Casual sex is seen as perfectly normal in the 2080's, although most people use it as a way to eventually meet someone with which they want to have a monogamous relationship - and, y'know, because sex feels good.

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Why is it called the ''Aeon War''? Eh? Eh?

Line 80:

** Third, we have the Nazzadi mecha. While they're also [[Real Robot|Real Robots]], like the Swords, they are [[Lightning Bruiser|considerably faster and pack far more heat.]] This is offset by the fact that [[Too Awesome to Use|they are far more difficult to manufacture and field]].

** Fourth, we have the Migou biomecha, which are refered to as "Bugs" by NEG troopers, and with good reason. They all resemble Earth insects, such as mantises, fleas, cockroaches and dragonflies. On the power scale, they sit slightly higher than Swords in raw power, but only the most powerful Bugs can compete with Engels.

** Fifth, and finally, there is Deep One [[Powered Armor]], which is [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]. Pretty much what would happen if you gave a [[Cosmic Horror]] [[Halo|Spartan battle gear]]. Generally don't get much bigger than [[Mini Mecha|15 feet or so,]] [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse|but they don't need the extra size.]] There's also Deep One shaped mechs for the human members of the Esoteric Order, though they're not particularly good outside the water.

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Innocent Fanservice Race]]: The Nazzadi have no nudity taboo. They don't run around naked in public or anything, but they think nothing of stripping down if the situation might possibly call for it.

* [[Internal Affairs]]: Sectarian Crimes at the FSB fills this role for the entire NEG, though they aren't there to irritate [[Cowboy Cop|Cowboy Cops]], they're there to clean out Cult infiltration in the NEG, and they have quite a few [[Cowboy Cop|Cowboy Cops]] on their own payroll.

Line 102:

* [[Multiple Endings]]: Right now, none of them look very good. Likely endings include [[Kill'Em All|human extinction]] and [[You Are the Demons|surviving to become a Mythos race]]. The best possible one may very well be getting the hell away from Earth through whatever means necessary -- and it would still imply only a fraction could escape.

* [[Mutant Draft Board]]: All [[Psychic Powers|parapsychics]] (people born with innate abilities, which can range from mind control to having control over gravity) have to register with the [[State Sec|Office of Internal Security]], be tested, are subjected to surveillance, and if their powers are deemed [[Mind Rape|Invasive]] or Dangerous, they have to wear badges in public to inform people of it. On the other hand, looking at [[Cosmic Horror Story|what kind of place]] the Cthulhutech setting is, it's fairly justified.

* [[Nail Em]]

* [[Nail'Em]]

* [[Negative Space Wedgie]]: The Zone, which is what happens when you try to compress infinite dimensions into just three. As it turns out, it doesn't work out well at all.

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Pick a member of the Rapine Storm. Any member of the Rapine Storm.
