The Devil Made Me Do it...
Ever see those skinny social misfits with thir hair died black, face full of piercings and a heart full of bitterness who never seem to catch a break? Pretty sad huh? Now what if that poor kid who's probably been picked on all his life could burn you to a cinder just by looking at you or break you in half with his bare hands?
That's the idea of this book. A group of angry social misfits with the power of gods, or in their case devils. Posuer satanists with a growing legion of disenfranchised kids who obey their every command. If it weren't for their power and influence they'd be a joke. Most of them are stupid, socially inept or just plain crazy, but the fact they are so powerful and have no loyalties, not even to each other make them dangerous.
The coolest thing about this book is that we've all known people like this or even BEEN people like this. Born losers who can't catch a break from the world at large so they reject it and turn their outcast image into a badge of honor. Considering the type of people who play RPG's, this might hit pretty close to home.
As we saw with the Columbine shootings, just because someone is pathetic, doesn't mean they're not dangerous. This book takes that principle and applies it to the Aberrant universe. Imagine if the Trenchcoat Mafia could call lightning from the sky, bend steel with their minds or basically bring hell to earth? Pretty scary huh?
