[HOE] Strain based Junker

[Dusarat@aol.com]

Mr Strain Based Junker guy,

    May want to take a look at the Psi Mechanic in a game called Beyond The 
Supernatural, or the Rifts Techno-mage....


    But I prefer the Evil Junker, who's been tainted a plenty, other spirits 
wont talk to him, and he's looking for some other power sources, so he's 
building people powered devices.  A MARVELOUS soution to the problem, if it 
wasn't for the invasive probe (made from a Garden hose and a Screwdriver) 
that must painfully enter the subjects spine, neck, or eyeball.  
    Once attached, the device uses the host as a spirit battery, but as time 
goes on (draw a card every time the device is used, and a black joker, the 
person's spirit drops a die type), the victim... er... user... suffers 
spiritual loss until they become a mindless automaton.  See? It's strain 
based.  Sorta.  But when  the victim is drained, , just for fun, a Gun spirit 
comes and fills the void, and you get a walking, talking, fully armed, Gun 
Spirit.  
    You need large numbers of them, or just one and he's pure Evil.   What 
would a Gun Spriit possessing a junked up human be like?  Well, I'm thinking 
an Evil Hong Konging, two gun toting ammo burning, Demonic yahoo.  If you 
want to get a slight taste, pick up copies of the comic 'Hitman' and look at 
the Arkannone, the Demon lords of The Gun.  

    Remember, any strain based Junker power would have to use the person as a 
power source.  

    The only difficulty would be thinking of a Name.  I'm just imagining a 
bunch of party members going "Oh no!  Chow Yun is back!!!!".
