First off, thanks for looking at this. My group really only started to play gurps last year and we're only now starting to get into the true depths of what the system can do. And I'm starting to see that it goes DEEP.
I have a new character concept in mind but I want to confirm some details. The concept is 5 members of a scientific team who are in an accident. The end result is that all 5 now share the same body. There is a dominant personality, but other personalities can be allowed to take over so that they can use their expertise. When that occurs, the body's appearance will change as well. The final complication is that, for brief periods, the team members can separate from the main body and manifest themselves.
Concept done. Here's how I'm thinking of implementing it.
Since all 5 characters have similar backgrounds, they'll all use the same base character's attributes and skills, to start with.
Additionally, the base character will have alternate forms, 4 of them, all cosmetic. This will represent the ability of any of the individuals to become the active personality.
The character will then buy 5 talents, one per personality, that they can only be used when the right personality is active. -For these, I'll pay for the most expensive and then pay 1/5 for the others using the Alternate Ability rules. These talents will simulate each member of the team having better skills in their area of specialty.
For basic equipment, their rifles and armour, I'll simply buy the innate attack and DR, it's the simplest thing, I think, rather than deal with wealth and gear.
Now though, we get to other advantages. I'd like to give a couple of small advantages to each personality. One might have improved senses, another a slight speed increase, etc...
For those advantages, would alternate ability work again, or would this be accessibility (can only use with the correct active personality)? If so, what would be the percentage reduction on that?
The next issue, for me, is Duplication with Construct. As long as the leader lives, the rest of the team can only be killed temporarily.
What kind of limitation would I need to ensure that any given construct can only manifest with one of the personalities? Would that even BE a limitation or would it be purely a roleplaying thing?
I'd appreciate any help you can offer. There are so many options in this game, and, in this case, I want a smart and efficient way to do it!
Duplication, Alternate forms... so much!
