There are two kinds of IN zombies. One is an animated corpse and the other is an attempt at making a mummy that went terribly wrong. The first kind is likely to look a lot less pleasant than the second, at least to start with. I don't think they decay, but I'm not certain. They don't ACT at all human. > Do Vampires aside from having Sunlight as a difficulty and the > desire for blood seem to be corpses or men? IN vampires can pass for human quite easily and don't necessarily have a problem with sunlight or a need for blood -- though they have some need or other as their defining characteristic. I don't think they need to eat, but they can, like vessels. *IF* I recall correctly. > What about Mummies? They have most of the abilities of celestial vessels, I think. I don't know if vampires and mummies exhibit respiration, pulse, or body heat, but they have little or no trouble passing for mundane, on the average.

Just picked up GURPS IN (a somewhat bright note in an otherwise extremely depressing week, both emotionally and creatively), and a couple things pop into mind. 1) It's Nifty. Good job done here by the authors and playtesters. I may never actually play or GM a GURPS IN campaign, but it was worth the bucks anyway. 2) It's Selling. I talked to my Contact at my FLGS, and he's reporting that the book has been a steady seller for the past week (down to three copies after I bought mine, out of an estimated twenty or so*). This was a welcome bit o'news, but not nearly as nice as watching him take down the display copy of S3 because it had _sold_ _out_ completely otherwise. My FLGS can be cheerfully mercenary at times**. Also, the rest of the line has seen movement. Whether or not this means anything is, alas, still up in the air. Reply Hazy: Ask Again Later, and all that. 3) Reading through it, there's a little bit in there ... those who have it will probably guess what I'm talking about: for those who don't, let's just say that I've never actually had my eyes bug out before***.

Do they decay? None of the undead appear to be living (they lack heartbeats, have a temperature equal to the environment's, etc.), though they can use a Song to appear normal for a while. They decay if they don't fulfill their Need (i.e., the lost Body Hits are due to rotting). >Do Vampires aside from having Sunlight as a difficulty and the desire for >blood seem to be corpses or men? At a glance, men; to a medical examination, very well-preserved corpses. >What about Mummies?

In between. They look normal, but lack biological body functions. Though like celestials, they *can* eat, drink, have sex, etc. But they have no heartbeat, and breathing is strictly for appearances, and voluntary.

Of course, they could just keep a portion of themselves in the celestial realm (obviating that problem), but then you'd never see any Superiors ever getting killed. Granted, it's not common, even now, but it does happen. Somebody as smart as say, Raphael, would have left herself an out*. My only major objection to the Cathedrals or Principalities theory is that it means that people are walking around inside Superiors' Hearts. That HAS to be distracting ... not to mention engendering a large streak of paranoia. Would _you_ let your worst rival touch your Heart, even with his shoes? _Especially_ with his shoes? :) My own take is that all Superiors have Hearts that are very carefully tucked away, guarded over by powerful defenses ... and the unspoken common knowledge that attacks on them is the one thing that no one will ever, ever tolerate or forgive. YMMV. (subject change) Incidentially, here's a new Uriel rumor: the poor bugger never made it to the Higher Heavens. Instead, he ended up in Limbo (ambushed by Blandine, Jordi and Novalis, no doubt**, on his way to the Ladder). Maybe the Council knows, maybe they don't. It is indicative that Mike and Dom carefully say _nothing_ whenever anyone asks, though... The Tsadayim know, though: that's why they're still out in the cold. They've been raiding the Far Marches ever since to garnish enough Essence for a new vessel. Unfortunately, it takes a LOT of Essence for a Superior - worthy vessel, and who knows how much psychological damage Uriel has taken in the meantime. Probably the PCs, no doubt, when he pops back out... :) (/subject change) Morgan (FAW) Kyriotate of Destiny Petitioner for the Word of Jesus Is Coming, And Is He _Pis**d_... *Incidentially, the entire fight with Legion showed remarkably poor utilization of resources all around.

An adventure where the Symphony bursts loose from the control of it's would-be guardians/attackers would be interesting: the PCs would be stuck trying to carry out a particular task (or maybe keep an event from happening), despite the best efforts of causality to roll over them.

As I'm certain a number of people can give reasons why Dominic might fall I'd thought I'd do my part for the Demon Princess of Nitpicking to take a look at why Eli may not necessarilly be the Saint everyone has a tendancy to portray him as. While theoretically (my Seraph Isaiah indeed serves Creation) Eli might just be surmounting Celestial politics by splitting up his servitors amongst the Host in order to better serve his word-after all creation does theoretically cover ever other Superior's word. There indeed might be a very different take on the matter.... Eli is freaking sick of Heaven, His Job, and most of all the War. Looking over at his word as I mentioned before, it is easily the biggest most vast in all of the Words that we've seen so far. According to Superiors 3 and other sources, Eli used to be very active in his servitors affairs and likely was the most busy of the Angels. In 1930 however he stopped doing everything like that and moved his superiors out of his hands. While it might have been to better inpsire humanity-as a Mercurian who was probably the most hardest working in the Host-it might have been because he wanted a vacation and he was unloading his servitors on others so he wouldn't have to deal with them for alittle while. As a nice guy I'm sure Eli intended for this to be just a short vacation to get his head cleared...but he discovered what all too many Servitors and the Grigori found out....Earth is a place where you can live your entire life without having a care in the World when you have the power to do so. What might have been a week, a year, or even a decade has been close to a hundred years without telling a Malakim of Creation that maybe killing schoolbusses of kids to get at the demonic busdriver might not be a good idea or at least having another superior deal with it. Plus all the other minutia of being a superior. He mights still inspire, heck I'm sure he enjoys inspiring people, however it's just as likely that he has stopped wanting to make the big decisions (can you imagine doing THAT for 25000 years instead of creating like you used to worry free) and his working on something big or promoting his word amongst humans could just be an excuse so he can be left alone to his having fun....as Dominic suspects it is. Thus the portrait of an Archangel desperate to escape the responsibilities of a word far too big for him and live amongst the humans he'd really like to be instead of a angel (after all they can get into the Higher Heavens-and Earth is as close to it as one can get). From here it's not so far from becomming an outcast and refusing to go back to being an archangel...or seeing Hell as a place rebelling against a bunch of tough shirts who want him to go back to the maddening Dilbert-esque life of drudge he just barely escaped. Andre, Nybblas, or Kobal from there can approach their old friend and bring over our new Prince of Sloth (promoting humans to rebel against being anything other than living on their own time worry free-James Dean would be proud). If this is all right, it may actually be Dominic trying to get him to go back to his lifestyle that pushes him over the edge. - -Charlemagne Donator at http://www.thehungersite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HungerSite and Olfalim of Bladine ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 06:40:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Maurice Lane Subject: IN> Ethereals and job openings According to canon, mortals can't really become angels or demons (though at least one human became a Superior.
