Can a Human really take Dermal Armor and Thermovision Qualities with starting Karma? Or did I miss a limitation somewhere?

It could be surge or while never really reflected before in previous editions, since Everyone comes from human stock.  it’s not a stretch that you have a little troll in you but not enough to manifest fully as a troll. It might give ideas for other qualities down the road. Elven lifespan for example.

My headcanon is SURGE's after-effects are still being felt...
RPG mechanics exist to give structure and consistency to the game world, true, but at the end of the day, you’re fighting dragons with algebra and random number generators.

This is a change I'm really happy about.  Some PCs in my Redmond campaign will come from Glow City.

I'm really hoping my explanation catches on: "Momma was a pinkie, Daddy was a trog."

Tech explanations are also possible:

Experimental 'ware.  Or a Parent had some kind of Geneware that you happened to inherit.  Or you were Bio-engineered yourself, little in utero improvements as it were.  Although that explanation works better for Low Light/Thermo Vision and such.
