WaRPed Characters: The Head Hunter
Cannibal Mutant Serial Killer
Human mutant. Beyond that, everything about him/her is subject to change, including blood type and DNA.
The mutant known as the Head Hunter can bite off, swallow whole and almost instantly digest a human head. Once he does that, he turns into an exact physical duplicate of the person whose head he ate, while their body changes into his old (now headless) body. He is very tough, fast and strong. It is also believed that when it assumes a new body, any wounds will stay with the old body.
Not that while we refer to the Head Hunter as “he”, it’s actual sex will be that of whatever victim’s head it last ate.
Nobody knows who the Head Hunter is, but he has killed at least 200 people in the last 12 years. The FBI has a dedicated task force set up just to track him, but they are always at least several hours behind him. The investigation is hampered by the need to keep the Head Hunter’s mutant nature a secret.
Although he prefers to take heads in non-public areas free of witnesses, he has been seen doing it by witnesses in broad daylight at least twice. Most of those witnesses needed lots of counseling afterward.
The Head Hunter seems to favor the Southwest and Northeast United States, but has killed in all 50 states and 5 Canadian Provinces, 6 states in Mexico and once in Jamaica. As far as heads go, he’ll take them young or old, male or female, any race…but never anyone who has not yet reached puberty or is any sort of mutant. If he takes the head of a mystic, he does not gain their powers. So far as is known, he has never taken the head of a supernatural creature.
Based on his FBI file, it seems that the Head Hunter seldom commits any crime other than murder.
Traits
Mutant (3 dice) This gives him his power and his increased physical abilities. (very fit looking, regardless of the body he has)
Quick Witted (3 dice) One does not stay ahead of the FBI for years while biting off heads without being smart. (constantly visually examining everything around him)
Flaws
Mutant (3 dice) Even though his overall DNA changes when he does, it always contains the same Mutant markers. Additionally, he can always be smelled by specially trained dogs. (avoids dogs)
Insane (3 dice) The Head Hunter is insane and cannot stop his killing. It’s estimated he must kill every couple of weeks. (about twice a month, he begins to act really odd)

WaRPed Characters: Adam “Monster Man” Benson
Caucasian/Latino male,36 years old, 6 ft 2 in tall, 250 lbs, muscular, rugged good looks, brown hair, brown eyes, nose has been broken repeatedly.
Adam “Monster Man” Benson is a monster movie historian, former stuntman and actor. He is also a mutant who can assume the shape of any movie monster he has ever seen, which is pretty much all of them. He has starred in several remakes of popular monster/sci fi movies, playing everything from Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi version) to The Blob to Godzilla (a 6′, 2″ Godzilla, but much more realistic than a guy in a rubber suit). He is in big demand at science fiction, horror and gaming conventions, where he always appears before a packed house.
He can remain in monster form for up to 3 hours. He does NOT gain any supernatural/extranormal powers when in monster form, but he can scare the crap out of people and once did so to stop a convenience store robbery.
Adam is divorced and has two sons that live with him. Both are preteens who think their dad is incredibly cool.
Traits
Mutant (3 dice) He can assume monster form. (likes to show off for kids and monster fans)
Movie Monster Knowledge (3 dice) Adam has a vast knowledge of monster, horror and other genre movies. (always rattling off movie facts)
Stuntman (2 dice) He hasn’t done too many big stunt gags in recent years, but he still has all the skills. (can pop right up after a fall or easily dodge a punch)
Flaws
Relationship Wary (2 dice) His divorce, which was sudden and unexpected, left Adam somewhat shy of establishing a new relationship with a woman. (seldom dates the same woman more than a few times.
