2029 - Background: Bulletproofs

 Bulletproofs

General
            Are bulletproof, against all bullets. Yes, even silver ones.

            Considered a minor power, overall.

            Power is always ‘on’.

            Powers
Bulletproof as mentioned above. Bullets hurt but can’t harm them beyond a bruise or a welt.

Not only are they bulletproof but if they are in the vicinity of any bullets being fired, tend to attract said bullets to them making them excellent bodyguards for many.

            Weakenesses and limitations
Outside of being bulletproof, they can be harmed by any and everything else imaginable. Stabbed. Set on fire. Disease. Accident. You name it. Just bullets can’t ever harm them.

Are not bulletproof in a lead-lined or tin-lined room or building.

While silver bullets can’t kill them, they can hurt them more than other bullets. Same is true for lead shot. Wounds from both hurt more and take longer to heal.

            Lifestyle
Often wind up being in law enforcement, security and/or the military. Which makes a lot of sense, actually.

No more likely to be gun owners or users than anyone else.

            Side Effects
            Arthritis in old age for many.

            Some become very sensitive to loud noises.

            Other Paras, Others and the Undead
Being bulletproof doesn’t really give Bulletproofs any advantages against any other paras, Others or the Undead.
