-- Foreword --
In the interests of simplicity, I've restrained myself from repricing
everything and fiddling with the system balance too much this time. Nice and
clean, for the most part. The section titles speak for themselves. For the
purpose of this document, "Attribute" also means "Defect". I tried to keep
everything in alphabetical order, for ease of use.

Yes, I excluded a lot. If you've got a concept that needs something I've
excluded or altered, talk to me about it. I am a sucker for Neat Ideas.


-- The Basics - 

System : BESM 3E

CP: 300
X = 8

-- Sources --

Attributes can come from two sources: Technological and Genetic.

Technological: 
Tech of all stripes can be destroyed or rendered inoperable with EMP blasts if it 
is not shielded against such, and can be damaged by falls or weapon strikes. 
Attributes from Technological sources cost 1 less CP.

Repair can be done with appropriate skills. EMP hardening can be achieved by
simply paying the full cost for the attribute.

Genetic: While psychic 24 powers can also be limited through psionic suppression
(psi-pression) technology, the odds of this happening are small enough not
to warrant recosting. 


-- Restricted Attributes --

24 Only Attributes: 
Alternate Form, Creation, Damage Absorption, Damage Conversion, Elasticity,
Illusion, Insubstantial, Mimic Powers, Plant Control, Reincarnation,

-- House Rules --

Let's try this for fun. QUASI-DRAMA POINTS.
These values might change in-game.
* 10 EP will get you a SINGLE +1 on a roll.
* 10 EP will allow you to reroll one failed roll.
And yes, you can buy up Energy Bonus to use.

-- Character Concepts / Application -- 

Rule #1: No characters with any relation, blood or not, to ATC1 or ATC2 
characters or NPCs will be accepted. Especially ATC1.

Rule-ish #2: You can apply as a Sleythin but it's pretty much a guaranteed
no-call for an interview. 

The basic concept types are provided in the three accompanying documents. 
They're meant to guide, not restrict, so don't let them bog you down. That
said, characters are expected to want to take the job, and be able to
function with a team.

Fill out the application, in-character, and mail it in along with your
sheet. Don't worry about being too exacting. Have fun with it and let it
guide and flesh out your character.

Applicants will be contacted for an interview and possible field test.
