This isn't for any actual plans or relevant to Saturn but it's been bouncing around in my head: How would apping characters who have some trait that's incompatible with 'regular everyday life' work? Using vampires as an example, since Spectral-types can pick up similar but less severe traits: a vampire who's straight-out killed by sunlight exposure, or a vampire whose feeding inevitably kills the victim + feeds daily (handwaving 'I kill 30 random citizens a month' seems like a little much...).
It would depend on what exactly the trait was, how it might be managed to fit in with the setting. For this example, it could be possible for the vampire to find that their daylight fragility has improved (to be something like what Spectral-types have to deal with, or similar), and for their feedings to either become less fatal, or the necessity of them less frequent.

OR, if wished... the sun could remain deadly to them. They could also commit those daily murders, though it'll probably become a PR nightmare for Patho-Gen once those numbers start racking up, and they're traceable to the Augmented.

Really, we want players to have the chance to keep their characters'... complications as challenging as preferred, whether that means giving a vampire protection from the sun or leaving them to burn.
