Savage Worlds: Bident

Imagine pursing knowledge beyond any rational barrier? Being willing to sacrifice your chances for having a family, for being a spouse, all for your passion. What if that passion were to save your twin? A nearly exact duplicate of you.

Imagine the fear of facing the world without your own reflection? How the fear, like a cancer, gnaws at you.

What length would you go to to save yourself? To save your reflection? What pacts would you make?

Duncan Robert Powell went that far so he could save his brother Dylan Robert Powell. And though Dylan lived, both were irrevocably changed. Damned by Duncan's own hands.

Though Dylan didn't choose the vile hunger that now drives their body, he's is just as helpless to it as Duncan.

Now they hunt for the innocent, their need to devour souls leading them though the night.

Savage Worlds: Flukeman

The Truth is Here...

The Flukeman – a form of quasi-vertebrate human – was an example of reproductive and physiological cross-traiting due to radiation, abnormal cell fusion and/or the suppression of natural genetic processes; essentially, the creature was a result of human science rather than nature. Its vestigial features seemed parasitic but it also had primate physiology.

The Flukeman transmitted its larvae, a form of flatworm, through its bite. The being searched for hosts, in order to multiply, and attacked because its victims' bodies provided generative nourishment.

Savage Worlds: Dralasite

"Dralasites are short, rubbery aliens that have no bones or hard body parts. Their skin is a flexible membrane that is very tough and scratchy. It generally is dull gray and lined with dark veins that meet at the Dralasite's two eyespots. The internal structure of a Dralasite is very different from the other races. The Dralasite's central nerve bundle (brain), numerous small hearts and other internal organs float in a pudding-like mixture of protein and organic fluids. Dralasites breathe by absorbing oxygen directly through their skin, so they have no lungs. They are omnivores, but eat by surrounding their food and absorbing it, so they also have no digestive tract or intestines.

All Dralasites go through male, female and neutral stages during their lives (they may choose to control these phases with pharmaceuticals). Males release spores into the air, which drift until they become attached to a female. A young Dralasite then sprouts from its mother, eventually maturing and dropping off."
