...an albino catgirl suffering multiple personalities disorder, the PCs were hired by one of hers selfs to keep in check her because two of hers personalities were at war with each other, and there was a Humanis chapter that wanted get rid of the "mutant bitch"... a Cat shaman catgirl who was the owner of a lore store and doubled as an healer, and a young dog shaman that surged into a catboy and was terrified by his own totem.
I really like all those ideas!
Well, I mostly finished a "catgirl" changeling Hacker/part Rigger/part Face NPC
out of spite, started right after 4th ed. came out and using the YotC stuff as a launching pad. I got really tired of always being the GM, and especially tired that the other 3 players always wanted to just play a shaman, phys ad, and sammie. The group broke up shortly before the first 4th ed game, but I dusted her off when RC came out.
She had gotten rid of some of the obvious physical changes (ear bobbing, cybereyes), so no BP. But the color spots on her light skin had to stay hidden (minimal/no BP). She had prominant incisors but couldn't bite attack. She had some mild physical bonuses like flexibility, but it was because of the one extra vertebrae (detectable by the biomedical analysis on higher end cyberscanners). She was a "riser" - no external tail, but bits of cartiledge, bone, and extra muscle there (also detectable by med scanners). She also had specific dietary requirements, including the need for taurine and other enzymes either via supplements or fresh meat... either of which could be traced back. She also discovered she had several moderate & severe food allergies (chocolate, raisins/grapes/wine, onions, garlic, etc). And as a dwarf, she grew taller (4'10") making her a very short human or a way too tall and skinny dwarf. She had to deal with her parents (dad a corper at Renraku) disowning her, the usual metahuman biases, plus crap from dwarves accusing her of "heightening." I had intended this mostly as background development, so she got minimal net BP for all her trouble. Throwing in some of the conginetal diseases, like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and polycystic kidney disease, and "catnapping" was left out because it bordered on cruelty.
She didn't crave milk or cream, didn't dress like an anime character, didn't say "Nyah", didn't go into heat, no retractable claws, and didn't dress/act like a "sex kitten." I always intended her to have Ripley's/Sarah Connor's determination and ruthlessness (without either's physical prowess) and a strong compassionate streak for the SINless and other outcasts of society.
