More Than Human: superhumans fighting evil in a post-modern fantasy

With that explained, he's good from a character standpoint. The only thing to do would be to rack up some experiences for him, if you so choose. It might be fun to add some meat to his backstory detailing some of the interesting things he's done and been involved with during his career, while the RP's getting set up. Right now the story's fine, but it could be in virtually any world. That could help him get more immersed into this particular one. You're free to make up whatever within the bounds of the setting provided, since there are tons of possibilities, or we could bounce some ideas around.

Alright, I'll keep things in mind to flesh out things a bit more.

Interested in this. My character idea is this: a Deviant born in the Cave, who despises the Kin elite. This led to him joining a revolutionary group where he gathered combat and tech training. After being declared a terrorist he fled the Cave. He would be the hacker/infiltration member of the team. Obviously it would be more fleshed out in the character sheet.

Glad to have you, and yeah, that could work in principal. In fact, that's totally a cool idea for the Cave. Here's a couple points we could use:

-Cave society and tech in general is extremely stagnant, focusing pretty much exclusively on comfort and entertainment for its inhabitants. What offensive tech there is suffers from limited resources and infrastructure, making melee weapons and other such self-contained gear the norm. However, since computers and the net do exist in order to entertain the masses, a hacker could exist there.
-A revolutionary group would be primarily Deviants, since Kin are a gigantic majority in the Cave and only care about things that would infringe upon their lifestyles. Kin could be in the group, but they would have to be unusual and take their pleasure from the suffering of others, or general chaos and destruction.
-Deviants are despised in the Cave from the moment they're found out, since they're resistant to the Haze that defines the indolent Kin society. Deviants interested in revolution might leave the Cave and return later, potentially with technology or training, but all will eventually time out because of exposure to the Haze and either have to leave for good or risk becoming Kin.
-This could maybe even make for a sort of culture in the group that the members do smaller jobs and raids until their time is almost up, at which point they launch a major offensive guaranteed to get the authorities' attention before leaving the Cave for good. Of course, if one is captured during that operation, they might get imprisoned until they become Kin.

Any of this sound doable? We'd also potentially need to establish the existence of anti-troublemaker authorities in the Cave. Certainly there are many who enjoy using their authority to attack others in the name of the common good. It brings to mind the police from We Happy Few on their hunt for Downers, if you've ever heard of that. The Jesters, perhaps? 'Thought Police' would be a little too on the nose.

I've drawn up the OOC thread here.
