Exactly how much is a starting character able to have changed the world? My character concept is basically a (previously) disabled gadgeteer type character who uses nanotechnology to turn herself into what amounts to a cyborg as a cure, but the process she uses could very feasibly be used to cure most physical ailments (that aren't infectious diseases), as far as I know. I couldn't find anything much on creating characters with super-intelligence and how their technology can effect the world. Should I just have it as a kind of background thing, with a passing mention of how she's rich by inventing her nano-surgery thing? I could give her a nemesis character who stole her research and tech for him/herself, if needed. Also should I use an existing disease/impairment as her disability, or make something up? I don't particularly want to screw up the details of an existing disability, or offend someone by just creating a character who can super-science the problem away. Edit: The character sheet. Crunch is done, just writing up the fluff.
