Default Re: Corrupted Longevity [Horror]

Or an extra 150 CP. It might get to the point where any form of longevity becomes suspect unless accompanied by proof of psychological stability. While there would still be those who seek immortality, they would be considered lunatics because most people would be reluctant to sacrifice their psychological stability for physical immortality. After all, would an extra two centuries of life be worthwhile if it accompanied an extra 150 CP (50 CP for the second century of life and 100 CP for the third century of life).

Of course, an interesting addition would be to have biological intelligences develop 1 CP of psionic abilities for every 1 CP in mental disadvantages that they gain from Corruption caused by longevity. In that case, their divergent thinking and long life allows them to awaken the unrealized potential of the human brain. Of course, this would not necessarily make people feel better about the situation, as having insane psychics running around would be quite dangerous.
