Promethean: The Created: Difference between revisions

* [[Angel Unaware]]: Qashmallim.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: When you've never heard a name before, and don't really know what names ''are'', you can get a little creative. Hell, one of the sample characters is named "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter."

* [[Back From the Dead]]: All Prometheans can do this once. Osirans and a few Prometheans of other lineages can theoretically, given the right circumstances {{spoiler|and enough [[Experience Points]]}}, do it as many times as they need to.

* [[Become a Real Boy]]: What happens when a Promethean reaches "New Dawn". A more exceptional case for the Unfleshed as they don't have the luxury of starting with an organic human body in the first place.

** The Acid Stomach Merit also permits them to eat ''anything'', from loose change to handfuls of rocks as long as they can get it down.

* [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong]]: Pandora's Book mentioned that while Pandorans are unable to breed naturally, they can taint Promethean flesh with Flux. One option is to have a Pandoran burrow itself into a Promethean's innards, thus corrupting the Promethean from the inside and turning him (or pieces of him) into Pandorans.

* [[Foil]]: While the Promethean condition is in itself a foil to mortality, among the Created are the Ulgan and the Frankenstein. Frankenstein's Monster was created out of a desire to transcend humanity through science, where the first Ulgan was created with the same intent, but through spiritual means. Frankenstein work to exist and thrive within the world of humans, while the Ulgan tend to embrace lonely, hermetic lives of spiritual reflection, not unlike a monk. The Wretched know they are monsters and try desperately emulate humans; The Riven look for the evil in humanity while trying to ignore the intrusive spirits within their body. The Wretched become emotional vengeance-driven brutes when they're frustrated, whereas the Riven begin to sulk and lose their human nature, adapting a more animal-like mindset.

* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Each Promethean type is classed with a humour - Ulgans are odd men out, as their "humour" is ectoplasm.

* [[Hate Plague]]: Disquiet becomes ''contagious'' at its worst level, and nothing short of [[Murder Is the Best Solution|the death of the Promethean causing it]] can stop it by that point.

** [[It Got Worse|It gets worse]]--you know all those ''other'' monsters in this setting? ''Disquiet affects them as well.'' As a small consolation, vampires and werewolves alone among supernaturals don't actually instinctively hate Prometheans. Instead, they find them so deeply ''unnerving'' that it becomes harder for them to resist their [[Unstoppable Rage]].

* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: But damn it, Prometheans still want to be one!

** To be fair, this isn't so much a case of [[Humans Are Bastards]] as it is a case of [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]. After all, the humans don't react any differently than the [[Animals Hate Him|animals]], or even the [[Walking Wasteland|vegetation]], who all share as much vitriol for the poor Promethean.

* [[Masquerade]]: If you don't follow it, you're screwed. Really. Screwed.

* [[Metaplot]]: There's a free introductory scenario on the official website, and each of the books have a fully-fleshed out story module in the last appendix. Strung together, these form a narrative that describes the misadventures of a throng and at the end of the chronicle features a firestorm engulfing post-Katrina New Orleans.

* [[Monsters Anonymous]]: What friendly contact between prometheans basically boils down to.

* [[Immortality Begins At Twenty|Mortality Begins At Twenty]]: Unless you appear younger as a Promethean.

* [[Secret Project Refugee Family]]: Your typical "throng" of Prometheans. A "branded" throng allows its members to share powers and perform other nifty tricks, but there are drawbacks as well.

* [[Shock and Awe]]: The Electrification Transmutations.

* [[The Soulless]]: All Prometheans lack a soul; more accurately, they have Azoth that fulfills many of a soul's functions (sentience, emotion, creativity, etc.). It doesn't make them evil per force, but it does complicate becoming human.

* [[Speech Impediment]]: Frankenstein's monster stutters, and his "descendents" sometimes have trouble with speech.

* [[Undeath Always Ends]]: Thankfully.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Torment, particularly for Frankensteins and Tammuz.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]]: Lacuna, stealing Vitriol, automatically costs a point of Humanity.

* [[Walking the Earth]]: The typical Promethean lifestyle. Otherwise...
