                                   FUSION



   The bloodline of DaVinci share a great affinity with machines, it is
   even fair to say that they love them. Fusion allows control and
   empathy with machines much like animalism does with beasts. The
   DaVinci guard their discipline well as it is their only advantage in
   this bleak world.

   When communicating with machines some may have personalities but none
   will have a soul as such. If a spirit possesses a machine the DaVinci
   can converse with that instead.

   * Insight: The DaVinci can instantly recognise the function of any
   machine simply by looking at it. He does not, however, automatically
   gain the knowledge of how to work it.

   System: The DaVinci simply knows what the machine does.

   ** Affinity: The DaVinci has an affinity with machines and can operate
   them much easier than any normal person. This is anything from a gun
   (to disassemble not to target) to a tractor to a supercomputer.

   System: The difficulty for operating any item of technology is two
   less than it would be normally.

   *** Synthesize: With this power the character can create special
   machines with inefficient parts (A Team and MacGyver style). These
   makeshift machines function to do a specific task.

   System: The character spends a willpower point and can construct a
   machine to do a specific task with the materials available. The
   character must roll intelligence + repair + Fusion against the
   difficulty of the intended machine. Once operational the machine will
   work for one scene only.

   **** Bonding: The DaVinci with this power can touch a machine and
   become joined with it. She may feel and understand all that is the
   machine. She may also control the machine as if it were her own body.

   System: The DaVinci must first touch the machine and spend a willpower
   point. Once this is done she becomes unconscious as though she is in
   torpor. Her mind is in the machine, it is the machine. She has
   complete control over the machines operation and can feel where the
   machine is, although unless the machine itself is capable of movement
   she cannot move it. If she enters a computer she may find herself in a
   world similar to that portrayed in Tron. If the machine is part of a
   network she is only joined with it at that particular node (e.g. a
   computer terminal) , however she may travel to a different node at the
   cost of a willpower point. She may return any time, at will. If the
   machine is in some way magical it may resist as up to the Storyteller.


   ***** Conduct: The character can manipulate machines from a distance
   by sending his will to command it.

   System: If the character spends a willpower point he can operate a
   machine as if he were touching it for that scene.

   ****** Download: With this power the character turns her whole body
   into an electronic signal and can travel across computer networks and
   electrical cables. This may be like the world of Tron and the
   character could encounter all sorts of unusual creatures. The DaVinci
   may enter or leave the network from any electrical medium with which
   humans can communicate, e.g. TV, telephone, monitor etc.

   System: The DaVinci spends two blood points and may enter the
   communication or electrical network. It takes two rounds to complete
   the transformation. The character is immune to sunlight in this form
   and may travel about during the day (if she can stay awake), however
   there are stranger dangers lurking in the global electronic web. The
   characters can only travel where the network allows, and may need to
   roll computer or electronics to find her way around. Most important
   computers will be protected by Programs.
