Like Father and Son

So, I don't know how many of you have heard of the RPG Eclipse Phase. It's a sci-fi setting, sort of a transhuman, post-post-cyberpunk. I like it a lot, the system included, but the setting is very dense. There's a lot of need to know info, and a hell of a lot to explore. But, this results in some incredibly interesting character concepts, given the sheer volume of opportunities the game presents. I plan to GM it soon, and had two players make characters.

One is a mentally ill adult who is technically around five years old, raised at an accelerated rate for post-apocalyptic re-population purposes that went horribly wrong, resulting in homicidal tendencies, an amazing ability to lie, and "psychic" powers (this bit is explained better in the book, I swear). He works mainly as a freelance criminal after the project that led to his birth went under due to failures and lack of support, and was thereafter released.

The other is an older man, originally from Egypt before Earth went cataclysmic and became unlivable. A computer scientist and psychologist who specializes in virtual reality settings for psychosurgical purposes, he worked for the cognitive sciences corporation that created the project that led to the first character's creation. Depressed with the failures of the project, he attempted to atone by aiding the man. Preferring to exist as data rather than physically, he keeps the psychic company by inhabiting the network connection hardware wired into the psychic's brain, in place of a standard AI assistant, common for most individuals.

Wacky times are ahead.
