anything is a pretty generic thing.
do i think they found anything on Mars? yes. i'm sure there are multitudes of rocks, and red dust for example. if by anything you mean 'anything indicating the presence of sentient life on Mars', then i would say they probably did. not necessarily extraterrestrial life though, IMO. |

Just for fun, slip in rumors that Evo discovered that Mars is not a manawarp, despite the fact that they have yet to find signs of life.

maybe a sand storm picked up and burried it and then they found the remains of Val Kilmer and his crew.

you never know... it may just be a force 1 ancestor spirit... in which case he will only be taking minor drain.
then again, elvis probably isn't force 1... hmmm... come to think of it... i wonder what force he would be... maybe it's just an elvis impersonator ancestor spirit... that would be pretty low drain i think :P |

My parents live in Las Vegas, which is a +5 Power Site for summoning a single Elvis or even multiple Elvii. And I just got back from spending a week with them, so some of that positively aspected background count must have followed me home.

well the pics in The Big D's will looked like a dragon skeleton just to mention it- also is it remotely possible that any of the sites up there has a background count?

At this point you could take Capt. Kirk as A Totem/Metor Spirit Like Elvis :cyber:

background count? well, if by 'background count' you mean 'mana warp' much like what you will find in space, then i suppose you could say that. so then, let's see... captain kirk as a mentor spirit... hmmm... well, i think you need +2 to unarmed and whatever skill is used for seduction (con? negotiation? whatever. it would simply reflect women randomly wanting you rather than skill at seduction or anything like that though). maybe a bonus when using lasers as well or something :P hmmm... drawback: distinctive style (must overreact *everything*, no matter how small or insignificant). willpower(3) test to resist. come to think of it, that's a rather annoying penalty... and one of the advantages is really not all that great (mechanically at least)... hmmm... let's go with also getting +2 on damage resistance tests maybe? there you have it... Captain James Tiberius Kirk as a mentor spirit :D |

Common, the Kirk'slap is well-known as being the most powerfull attack in the universe, even if you fall prone afterward :wobble:
And what about the vulcan pinch? |

well, that's why they get +2 to unarmed checks. to condense/clarify, here's the mentor spirit all in one place: Captain James Tiberius Kirk +2 unarmed checks, +2 dice on rolls to seduce women, +1* die on damage resistance tests disadvantage: willpower test (threshold of 3) to avoid overacting/overreacting to everything. the bonus to seduce women, once again, is not a result of skill at seduction, but rather reflects that by some twist of fate women want you. *oh, and as i was looking at it, i thought +2 die on all damage resistance tests is rather big... so i dropped it to +1. (hmmm... looks really good for an adept, if they were only allowed to have mentor spirits) if you want vulcan neck pinch action, you would have to have Spock as a mentor spirit. i'd have to think a little for that... |

don't think so. neck pinch is pretty much exclusively a spock thing, iirc (although kirk may have learned it for 1 episode, it is possible. but really, i just don't see it... kirk's method of knocking people out is pretty much just beating them senseless). anywho, interesting pg 192 says that, 'cause so far as i can tell, pg 79 says otherwise. specifically:

weird.... IIRC, there was a post in the errata or magic thread stating we should add Adept to that sentence.... altho I'm REALLY not sure.... it was some thing like: add adept (or mystic adept) to that sentence: 'blablaba'

might be. i try to avoid reading excessively long threads unless i'm pretty bored though :P
it's probably just a bad habit i got from the D&D boards (where just about any thread that goes beyond 2 pages is still going only because of flame wars) :P so then, there we have it, a rather impressive mentor for an adept at least :D |

You should had that the followers of Kirk must put on some lipstick... as he did in the series. And maybe be close to cross-dressing about clothes (what with that skirt?!)
