CptPatriot Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 My character, Arianna Corazón de Sousa, a sixteen year old female metahuman, sent to a school for metahuman kids to learn how to deal with others, as she used to treat the workers of the coffee plantation her father owned as if they were peasants. She would often barely remember the names of her roommates to the school as their names weren't important to her, but being put in a team with a select group of other teens, she started learning the value of working with others and treating them with respect. At the behest of her father, invites her metahuman classmates to Brazil to her father's coffee plantation for Christmas. After some weirdness, it is discovered that her childhood pediatrician was a Nazi scientist working with a group of NeoNazis, he used bio-engineered spider/human based on spiders local to the region as enforcers, with one of those bio-engineered spiders having masqueraded as her father for untold number of years, and that she was a clone of the fetus, found in a glass tube, and for years, every time she came home, was subjected to mental conditioning. The PCs in this game took out the doctor and the spiders, but left with the aftermath of the situation, what does Arianna do from here? I would appreciate comments about short term as well as long term goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 She's a minor (although she could potentially be emancipated on the grounds of economic independence) so she will have a guardian. Hopefully not a spider Nazi - check that! Her inheritance might be complicated by legal issues, but that's a problem for her guardian. Continuing at the school would be subject to her guardian's approval. (Presumably your GM will let that work out, but there might be problems for a while).

SteelCold Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I am not familiar with Brazil's laws but I will assume that as a "citizen", she should be subject to that country's rules and policies, guardian or no. Yeah she can live in America if she wants to but Brazil takes the plantation as well as freeze her "family" assets save for a trust fund unless that was falsified along with her life as well.

CptPatriot Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ok. I think the matter of her legal status is covered. There are campaign specifics that need to be addressed with my GM, such as her legal status as a clone, should it become public knowledge as a result of the police investigation, if there indeed is an investigation.

drunkonduty Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Who is she a clone of? Does she have clone sisters out there? Are there more foetuses ready to be grown? Legal status as a clone is a tricky one. I mean, laws can be awfully messy. My personal opinion is that of course she is a sapient being and has the same rights as any other sapient being. The law could be very different. IIRC. there are laws within the Champions universe that allow for the rights of aliens to be treated as sapient beings. Not sure if it extends to clones.

Arianna is the clone of the original fetus that her mother carried but lost during the pregnancy. It is unknown, if other clone sisters of her exist or if other fetuses exist. As far at the law is concerned, she could lie and say that the fetus in the tank was the clone. Unless the science behind the cloning is flawed or they have the science available to tell the difference, how could the authorities tell? Brazil isn't known for their scientific skills. On the other hand if she keeps the plantation, she could use the caffeine to market a new brand line of energy drinks: {picture deleted for brevity} I'm gonna use it, thanks.
