[UA] Further incoherence from digest man!

[Chris Cooper]

Howdy all (waits for reply)

I was reading the Freak and think the whole Freak’s
past as a cabaret singer in Nazi Berlin is fantastic.
My sudden pet theory is that the Freaks sacrifice was
based more on hir archetype. S/he lost hir True Name
and integral identity. 

Losing hir True Name means s/he can transform into any
human shape at will but hir identity immediately and
retroactively starts becoming that person. All sorts
of crap fills hir head until the Freak shall
presumably be drowned by the new spontaneous identity
trying to fill the psychic vacuum.

S/he knows s/he is the Freak – a powerful Fleshcrafter
adept and Godwalker of the Hermaphrodite. S/he changes
her appearance daily to slough off her accreting new
personalities. Perhaps the Freak keeps a raspy voice
as a method of focusing its little memory and identity
left.

The Freak is in danger of Ascending as the Freak – the
circus exhibit people love to loathe.

And s/he has a connection to Dirk Allen. Dirk Allen is
the one person who can help hir and s/he him. S/he was
part of the original Sleeper crew sent to whack Allen,


During the initial battle hir True Name got shot out
of hir soul and caught in a Ghost Vintage trap. S/he
wants hir True Name back. Allen locked it safe –
probably by drinking it - but cannot remember the
incident. This could be the reason why s/he protects
him. 

The Freak could have the only manuscript copy of 333
(I think would rock – the Occult Underground’s very
own Necronomicon) or can restore Allen’s body to that
of a twenty-five year old.

Or the Freak could have received the Major charge by
switching to a female body and cutting out hir own
ovaries out with a carpet knife – perhaps one charge
for each. 

The Cold War slant is very cool.

I think Mattias and I actually disagreed on nothing. I
thought you didn’t want new schools – instead of just
giving a new school twist on a duke. I agree with
that. I’d rather have a fleshed-out duke that is
completely wrapped around his new school – with a few
pointers on how it works. As the adepts were written
that both our ideas fit the mould my argument loses a
leg. Glad you liked the arachnomancer idea. Does it
work with scorpions too?

As for the Cantomancer’s significant charging how
about an hour’s worth of final cut material. It takes
about a day of farting about in a studio to record and
dub one or two tracks. A significant charge for a
final track dub in a studio.

Phobomancers can have trained the Fourth Reich
skinheads in the jungles and sent them to work with
the infamous Brazilian police death squads to charge
up.

As for the Roll Your Bones slant well here’s my
two-cents worth whether you like it or not. Being an
entropomancer is very strenuous and taxing for one.
After a day of wandering blindfolded through traffic,
Neal takes some time off to unwind – defying death
will take it out of one.

Slouching in his mobile home, Neal, feeling vaguely
horny (as one does after massive adrenaline rushes)
decides to do some research on this porn chick
everyone’s been harping about. So he slides one of her
tapes in the machine presses play.

I think Neal just wanted to jerk off, then sleep and
dream of winning big on Jackass.

Neal Brinker then only charges up when dangers afoot
and he’s trying to trip it up. It doesn’t stop him
trying to get a handle on his potential competitors.

If you want to quote me, Haroudo, go for it. Just
remember to quote me. 

Cheers,

Chris.
