Chapter 4 - Choose Your Path
All right, calm down. If I’m going to be breaking out of some kind of experimental lab, I’m going to have to prep for it. Let’s check and see if I can find out more about my race.
| Chimera Created by combining the DNA of several species, the resulting creature is what many would term an abomination. These hybrid creatures can be terribly strong, but many would hunt them for what they are, or enslave them to use them as disposable tools. There are four main types of Chimeras, each based on a different development path. Hunter – Created by combining human genes with those of predatory beasts, the Hunter excels at hunting and tracking. Unfortunately, they also tend to be feral-minded creatures, acting with more instinct than intelligence. Stalker – Stalker Chimeras are feared for their stealth abilities. Their particular combination of genes makes them extremely hard to detect, as they can make themselves invisible at will, and at higher levels can hide themselves from thermal scans, and even become invisible to high-level sensing Psy powers. Battery – These unfortunate creatures are lumbering brutes designed to soak as much damage as possible. They tend to have massive stores of PP, but little ability to use it for themselves. Instead, their controllers use them as a battery for their own Psy Powers, while relying on the Battery to be a convenient meat shield. Infiltrator – Arguably the most dangerous of the Chimeras, the Infiltrator types are typically the weakest of the four when it comes to physical combat. However, their strength lies in their ability to mimic other life forms. They have limited shapeshifting abilities, and are gifted with Mental Psy Powers.
