When I wrote to say that I hadn't seen many hybrids bying played, I was in the process of starting up a (small) BP game amongst my friends. Character creation's done, and here is a small Atlas deep environment emergency team: 1 Environmental Engineer (Technician) - Silva 1 Mercenary; guards engineer, emergency coordination of forces - Modi 1 Atlas Security pilot (Military Pilot) - Cat Shows what I know. Also, the pilot's player is another woman BPer -- this is her first RPG experience, but I forgot to gather data on why it interests her.

Anyway, this is why I enjoy playing these kind of characters. Unlike some gamers I know, who like to play versions of themselves in strange circumstances, I like the challenge of being someone very different from myself. This stretches my ability to play, and is (to me) far more interesting. And I think that while it's a bit sketchy, there is enough information in the BP book, particularly between the lines in some places, to see what dolphins are like. Enough to play one, anyway. Orcas are (in some ways) even easier, 'cause a player doesn't have to try faking comprehension of the Whalesong Theogeny. Is there ever going to be more information on that, by the way? Perhaps in that Cetacean double issue? -- +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= "I never get involved in my own life.
