This one is slightly different as they apply actual science but are somewhat out of the loops since they also truly believe that they are using a form of science, they do believe in magic, but they themselves do not use it. They are always Mystic Adepts since they cannot go to the Astral Plane. They are also a mix of Possession and Materialization Tradition depending on how they use spirits. Unbound Spirit / Watcher: Materialization Tradition Bound Spirit / Watcher: Possession Tradition Combat: Guardian Spirits Detection: Guidance Spirits Health: Fire spirits Illusion: Spirits of Man Manipulation: Task spirits Resist drain with Willpower + Logic Unlike the mad scientist tradition these people have actual technological skills and are often very proficient within a chosen field, they do on the other hand have some quirks. Although they believe in magic they themselves don’t think they use it, it’s simply an advanced form of science, and several others CAN use the gadgets they build, although they must be awakened as they have the right “Energy Resonance” – but it isn’t magic. The Trekkie The Trekkie is usually in contact with ”Computer” or ”Number One” and is in constant contact with some kind of spaceship in orbit and is usually equipped with a high-signal commlink. Mostly used unbound spirit is the Doctor – a Task spirit “Hologram” with First Aid and Medicine. Usually armed with a “Phazer”, a combat spell fetish for Stunbolt and Powerbolt. The Borg…(Let’s continue in the same madness…) These rather numerous whackos are all connected through the matrix listening to ”The Collective” and seem to work towards some unified goal. They are one of the few groups that actually initiates through the matrix. Most of these followers are on the path of the burnout as they often have as much cyber as they have initiate grades, if not more. Easily recognized by their archaic and visible cyberware. Resonance Reformed Resonance Reformed is a loose organization of hackers and hardware technicians that communicates through the matrix. They usually scoff at the notion of Technomancers since THEY know that they are in communications with the REAL Resonance. mentors Several technomages believe that they are in contact with AI’s or otherwordly intelligences, some of them finds other with similar experiences but they are few and far between. |
