Yet another Potterbuny - Foxboy - 11-30-2006
Picture this for a shortfic or spam fic, what have you.
A Mundane facing death eaters. Note that I said "Mundane," not "Muggle." This version of the term comes from Steve Jackson Games' Illuminati University. In short, the guy is so "normal" that magic, psionics, esoteric martial arts, et cetera, DO NOT WORK IN HIS PRESENCE.
Discuss.

And if he's got the most powerful version of "Mundane", werewolves turn into guys in rubber masks, vampires into people with whiteface and plastic fangs, etc.
I like this idea, I really do.
Hell... the idea of crossing Potter with IOU on a larger scale is suddenly starting to appeal to me... Harry could almost certainly get there via L-Space, if no other way...

Mainly because even the majorly INSANE don't come up with the sort of things taken as not only granted, but BORING.
Eek.

Which is, in my and Chibi Konatsu's minds, beginning to mutate into more of a setting than a single story.

But it'd be more interesting to see Harry (and Ron and Hermione, too) pick up new stuff there and come back home with it, to surprise everyone.

Honestly, I worry about Hermione in this setting. I foresee three possibilities. In decreasing order of probability:
Brain Crash
Dark Lady Brainiac
Technomage Valkyrie Hermione
Ron would be going 'Huh?!?' over the tech while being relaxed in the Magical departments.
Poor, poor Harry. Having a capital F.A.T.E. fate over his head would make so many people want him. In the Washu sense.

Quote:the question is, if the werewolves/vampires take off their "makeup" while in the presence of the Mundane, what happens when they leave? are they normal human again? do they turn back to what they were? do they die?
And if he's got the most powerful version of "Mundane", werewolves turn into guys in rubber masks, vampires into people with whiteface and plastic fangs, etc.

Re: Yet another Potterbuny - Evil Midnight Lurker - 12-02-2006
Under GURPS IOU rules, I believe the loss of "makeup" doesn't affect their true nature, i.e. they'd revert as soon as they left the Mundane's notice.
