Still payin homage to the heros we loved way back when, as well as today. Snake Eyes never looked so good….

Restraint, restriction and self discipline define the Forbidden’s life. The Forbidden is instantly recognizable by his distinctive costume and all concealing mask. The Forbidden draws great mystical power from their obsession with concealment, with secrecy. The leather and steel face they show the world becomes a part of them, and most Forbidden view their mask as a truer indication of who they are then the flesh and blood face they were born with.

Forbidden do not gain their power from study, and ancient spellbooks hold little interest for them. Instead, the Forbidden draw their power from within, focusing their will and intellect to the point they can accomplish incredible magical and psionic feats through sheer determination. Some Forbidden embrace disciplines as diverse as monastic self flagellation, ki-focusing kung fu, bondage lifestyle elements, modern psychotherapeutic techniques and cult leadership tactics. Regardless of where their inspirations come from, the Forbidden uses their diverse array of skills and psychic gifts to shape the world in the same way they shape their body.

The intro flava’ text….

“Look, right there, under the collar of his shirt. Joey, magnify sector 17-3 by a quarter. You see?”

“So the question becomes, why did three random citizens suddenly decide to become bank robbers and multiple murderers? What possessed ‘em?”

Are your sins so hideous you know that when you finally die that you’ll burn forever, and you would do anything to cheat God’s judgment? Or do you love life so much, that you’ll become something other than human in order to keep seeing new mornings, watching history unfold as an outsider? Or are the final sensations of death so ecstatic that you’ll do anything to feel them again and again and again?

No matter your reasons, you’ve taken one step beyond: you’ve become an Unbound Soul, an immortal being that doesn’t die like other men. The body you were born with isn’t a vital part of you isn’t a vital part of you, it is merely a vehicle for your soul, which you can abandon in extremis, for convienience, or in seeking a moment’s pleasure. Your restless, indestructible soul is bound to mortal life with your Psychopomp Cords, arcane ribbons, spiritual containment systems that tie you to this existence, and are the source of your cruel powers.

As promised, we just released the Shotgun Surgeon Advanced Class Update!

“Where you want it Jake? You know I’m surgical with this b!#ch. That homeboy in the chair, who do you think put him there?”

-Alonzo Harris, Training Day

In capable hands, the shotgun is one of the planet’s most versitile longarms, capable of filling most combat roles merely by swapping out ammo or modifing barrel length. The Shotgun Surgeon takes the shotgun’s innate versitility and sheer destructive ability a step farther. Anyone can kill with a shotgun, but a true Shotgun Surgeon can kill and maim with style, or if they’re feeling merciful (or if the target is worth more alive) they can use their shotgun’s speciality rounds to subdue and incapacitate.
