Borrowed the book for this one, as I couldn’t find it. Day 5 will be out shortly, once I finish it. Almost caught up!
The Character
Yangus tries to forget before he was Freed from the facility he was brought up in. As a Maine Coon, he was a big cat, and those cages weren’t designed for him, and now he avoids small enclosed spaces. His mutations weren’t so obvious that he couldn’t pass as a cat, unless you got a close look at his paws, as they were closer to human hands than cat. He can talk some, but he has a thick Cat accent.
He has been running from place to place ever since he escaped, one step ahead of organization for a few years now, but they do seem to have some way to track him that he can’t figure out. He got the low-jack chip out of his head after breaking into a doctor’s office for some tools, but they still track him down if he stays in one place for more than about a month. So, every few weeks, Yangus ventures off into the wilderness to find the next town. Not the best life, but at least he is free.
The Experience
Playing a mutant cat with psionics and a partial human appearance is just the kind of experience I enjoy. I was thinking of Rocket Raccoon as I made him, and I think it helped the process. Most of what is on the sheet is randomly rolled, as you did in the 80s, but I think it would be a fun character to play once connected with a group. With the caveat, that I would likely want to use another system, as Palladium isn’t ideal.
