"Gemini Demons are born in pairs and each pair
is sympathetically linked. They possess minor psionics including
Sense Time, Sense Dimensional Anomaly, Total Recall, and
Mind Block, plus three Sensitive powers of choice. They are also
naturally inclined to learn magic and their link allows one to
augment his magic with that of the other and vice versa."
Proposed Race: Gemini Demons
Re: Proposed Race: Gemini Demons
This race is demonic but certainly the lesser of all evils. Quite possibly the forefathers of the D'Norr.
Re: Proposed Race: Gemini Demons
Abilities and Bonuses
- Arcane Backround (Psionics) - As a Minor Psionic, a Gemini Demon
begins with three powers (from the Mind Melter list) and 10 ISP. He also has
a beginning Psionic skill of d6. - Inherently Magical - Gemini Demons know no magic spells, but they have a natural
pool of 10 PPE and can use any TechnoWizard devices. A Gemini Demon who takes an
Arcane Background adds his starting PPE to any gained from the Edge. Additionally,
whenever he takes the Power Points Edge, he gains +10 PPE instead of +5. - Ley Line Magic Mastery - Like all arcane casters (see Ley Lines, page
119), Gemini Demons can draw extra PPE from ley lines, though
they do so with greater advantage. As a free action, they can roll
their Spellcasting skill to draw PPE from a line at a distance of Spirit×3,
and they multiply their current maximum PPE by ×3 while at that distance or closer. - Ley Line Rejuvenation - While on a ley line, a Gemini Demon gains a natural healing
roll once per day. - Ley Line Sense - A Gemini Demon can sense a ley line within 10 miles,
and she can automatically tell how powerful it is, in what directions
it flows, where it meets other ley lines at nexus points, and other aspects
as might apply (such as if a huge amount of its energy is being siphoned for some other
purpose). She can also sense any nearby Rifts within 10 miles, and she can
automatically sense the eruption of a new Rift, or one opening anew, within 50 miles.
- Arcane Duality - Gemini Demons can get the Arcane Background Edge twice for two different
types of powers, but whenever they take a Power Edge, they must choose whether it applies to magic or psionics.
Gemini Demons can take the Power Points Edge twice per Rank but only to gain PPE with one use and ISP with the other. - Cybernetics - Gemini Demons suffer the same penalties from cybernetics as any other
arcane character (page 108). Except for them the disruption affects two skills (−1 to both Magic and Psionics
skills per point of Strain). - Disconnected - Gemini Demons constantly deal with the strange, alien, and
inhuman. This makes them more than a bit difficult to deal with for the average
person. A Gemini Demon has a −2 Charisma penalty in most social situations.

Retrapped D'Norr
Gemini Demons are considered to be a sub-demonic species and in most demon societies are third rate citizens. Truth be told their nature tends to make them very passive and seemingly delicate and frail. Those from the 3Gs often speculate that the D'Norr are descendants of the Gemini Demons.
Gemini Demons are always born in pairs with an equal number of the twins being male and the other half being female. These twins are symbiotically connected in the womb. Separating the twins at birth is death for each of the twins. As they age and years advance, Gemini Demon Pairs are able to be a greater and greater distance from each other. However killing one most certainly means the other twin of the pair will die as well.
Intelligent and Spiritual: Gemini Demons are highly intelligent and spiritual, beginning with a d6 Smarts and Spirit. This makes their natural maximums
for those Traits d12+1.
Natural Arcane Affinity: Gemini Demons have +5 PPE naturally, whether they pursue a magical path or not.
Personable: Gemini Demons are highly charming and easy to get along with. They have +1 Charisma.
