So for my campaign I'm going to be making my own strain of the exsurgent virus, called the Pando Virus. The idea behind it is that a TITIAN got a hold of cells from Tanaka and used them to engineer a new virus. The virus first acts as a digital virus and infects all systems that it can slowly and quietly. Once it has the majority of systems under its control, it takes a fabber and starts to create the nanovirus. The nanovirus uses modified Tanakan genetics to transform biomorphs into a menagerie of different xenomorphs that are akin to the zerg or tyranids. My method for creating each xenomorph was to mix and match between two different categories. The first one is the size of the xenomorph and consequently its armor and mobility with smaller creatures being faster and larger creatures being tougher and better armored. The second category is the creatures function in the swarm which is further divided into two other categories, combat and support. Combat xenomorphs run and kill things with either ranged or melee weapons. Support xenomorphs assist the combat creatures through Tanakan spores, psi powers, exsurgent magic, or any combination of the three. Here are a couple of creatures that I have already made: Canary COG 5 COO 5 INT 40 REF 40 SAV 5 SOM 5 WIL 10 INIT 10 SPD 3 DUR 20 WT 2 DR 30 Canaries are a chitinous sphere about the size of a cat with four small clawed limbs equidistant from each other on the sphere. Behind it are a set of insect-like wings that allow the sphere to fly. Canaries act as the forward scouts for the Pando virus and exist only to be shot at. Actually killing one is a bit harder thanks to its psi powers, which allows a canary to read the mind of all biomorphs and will know when and how they will try to harm it. While the canary's power on synthmorphs is useless, it is still a hard target to hit thanks to its speed and small size. Transhumans trying to shoot the canary will just be wasting ammo and reveal their positions to other exsurgents. Skills: Fray 80, Flight 50, Perception 70, Sense 75 Notes: Armor 3/2, 360-degree vision, echolocation, enhanced smell, wings, small size trait, vacuum sealing. All attacks directed at the canary from a biomorph automatically fail. If a biomorph decides to go full psi defense, roll an Opposed Test using the canary's Sense against the biomorph's WILx 3. If the canary wins, it can read the target's mind and if it fails it cannot automatically dodge and rolls Fray like normal. Sab COG 15 COO 25 INT 15 REF 20 SAV 5 SOM 20 WIL 30 INIT 7 SPD 2 DUR 35 WT 8 DR 50 Sabs are the size of a human and have 4 arms with the larger top arms having pterodactyl-like wings, prehensile feet, and a long flat tail that acts like a rudder when flying. Sabs are covered in quills that pulse with light like fiber optic cables. Sabs are saboteurs of both transhuman and machine, all thanks to their quills. The quills allow camouflage by changing color and if a quill is inserted into a biomorph, the biomorph can be targeted by psi-gamma powers as though the Sab was touching it (typically uses Scenario). If a quill is inserted into a synth, bot, or vehicle, the exsurgent nanotech of the quill fuses with the electronics of the machine, shutting down the target and preventing it from rebooting. The quill also seems to form a kind of antenna in the machine, though for what is anyone's guess. If subterfuge fails, sabs can use their quills as hand to hand weapons and can even shoot them out at distant targets. Skills: Climbing 40, Control 70, Exotic Melee (Quills) 65, Exotic Ranged (Quills) 60, Flight 50, Fray 80, Free Fall 50, Freerunning 40, Infiltration 60, Perception 50, Psi Assault 70 Notes: Armor 11/11, 360-Degree Vision, Echolocation, enhanced smell, wings, grip pads, chameleon skin, neurochem 1, medichines, prehensile feet and tail. Psi: Scenario, Strip Memory/Skill, Onslaught Quills: -6 AP 1d10+5, If a quill damages a biomorph, the biomorph can be targeted by psi-gamma sleights even though the sab isn't touching it. If a quill damages a synth, bot, or vehicle, roll using a digital virus and if it wins, the target shuts down and cannot be restarted. So what do you guys think so far? Anything I should change? Any other exsurgents you want to contribute?
