The human body is capable of storing across the entirety of its chemical/molecular bonds, about 125-144k calories. That comes out to roughly over 4% of a Joule. A penetrative projectile requires roughly 120J to pierce human skin, another 80 to crack bone.

Actually, one calorie is 4.184 Joules, and one Calorie (yes, the capital C makes a big difference) is 4.184 kJ.
I'm honestly not sure which calorie you mean, because small-c implies that the human body only stores 144 Calories, but considering a 2000 Calorie diet (yes, that equates to about 8 MJ) is considered the optimum, that doesn't make much sense, which would mean your figure is 144k Calories (which feels absurd as a number, but considering we got here by ruling out the other option, I'm willing to overlook it).

Rough Genre(s): Horror/Mystery/Sci-fi
Setting: Southern United States, 60s or 70s
Something like if X-Files, Twin Peaks, and Call of Cthulhu miscarried a misshapen and grinning childthing that rides motorcycles and shoots at the FBI. Mostly focusing on a single county, maybe two (possibly expanding in scale later). Emphasis on developing characters, the world, and exploring the horrors/wonders that inhabit it. Themes ranging from high strangeness (UFOs, cryptids) to government agents (men in black, FBI), to witches and ghouls.
Would anyone be interested in something like this? Regardless, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty coincidental that I've been binging the X-Files recently.
Sounds interesting.

You absolutely can app as an FBI agent! Sounds like fun. It's up to you to decide what led you to Cooke County. Maybe you received a strange letter informing you of an inheritance from a relative you never knew existed, maybe you are a journalist chasing a story (and bigfoot). I want it to have themes of horror, but still light enough so as to have room for humor and kookiness. I'm still working out the parameters for character application but the only restriction I really have in mind is that I don't want a player to app as someone who has always lived in Cooke.

Correct. That would be it's claim to fame in those niche circles which lend credence to such things.
Also a general question directed to you or anyone else who is interested: what do you think about the setting as far as time goes? I wanted it to take place before cell phones became smart/common (or existed at all) but wouldn't be opposed to something in the 80s or 90s around the birth of the World Wide Web.
