The idea is older than the movie.

I meant the idea of a secret organization that exists above the law, and works to keep things the government wants quiet from getting out.

It could be a international organization that rents out it's services..

They would be more of grunts/agents/hired people who try to recapture the morphs.

The actual people in charge of the lab could be government eggheads.

You know, they don't have to be faceless grunts. The agents colud be just as much a part of the story as the main characters. Like rivals of sorts, with actual personalities.

Oh yeah, we didn't mean that they have to be inhuman. They are people, after all. I'm sure the PC's could find pockets of agents and scientists and others of the sort on their way to freedom.

That can lead to plot holes, like when I had Bones raise the spiders in KCoM.

Because they're constructs and have never had life, so they can't really be killed, so they can't be raised with death magic.

Anywyas, moving on to the morphs themselves. Do you guys think we should keep them under the same restriction we have now or edit them  bit to allow for different variations?

Well..

It could be interesting to play different things that are at least semi-human now.

The way I see it, there are two 3 type of morph:

1.Full transformation, which are stuck in the form of whatever they transformed into.

2. Partial transformation, which are stuck at the halfway point.

3. Fluctuating transformation, which are able to switch their forms freely from normal, half-an-half and object.

Like having a blender in human form, or a person stuck as an animal, or an animal that's stuck halfway between an object and their normal forms..

Ok, but should we keep the same system or change it?

I don't think it would make sense for the morphs to only have a portion of their powers at the beginning. It just doesn't seem like the type of thing that would get stronger as you use it. I think that, everything a morph can do, they should be able to do right at the beginning.
