I was going to try to recreate my IZ char in SR, but after discussing it decided to just do the concept: The race was Combat Simulacra (Vat-Grown Human Soldier basically), and he was very tanky while still being able to lay some damage down with a gun. Personality wise he was the dumb silent type who followed orders.
This was several weeks ago, but during the MARS vs ARES conversation, Tribe said Merc Soldier could do anything Headhunter could do, probably better. So for the hell of it, I decided to do all three. Here is the link to the A.R.E.S version, which is the one I'll probably use because I like how he turned out. Everett Jackson

Vat-Grown Human Racial Statistics
Before the Rifts, Vat-grown humans were the go-to option for personal protective services, mercenary companies, some militaries, underground bosses needing a strong arm, or anyone else who could afford the ultimate hired gun who (probably) wouldn't talk back.
Vat-grown humans are either bleeding-edge laboratory creations, throwbacks from the pre-Rifts era discovered in a sealed bunker/laboratory/warehouse, or fresh out of a Rift. Should the wrong person discover the origins of a Vat-grown human, they would be very valuable to study for reverse engineering.

KLS-RG-15X Manpack Electromagnetic Rail Gun (Patron Item)
The brain child of the KLS corporation, this rail gun design is a miniaturized version of the RG-14 Electromagnetic Mass Driver. It's flexibility, efficiency, and relatively light weight make it the most potent man-portable, anti-armor & anti-demon weapon system ever produced. The only drawback is the delay in discharge as the capacitors spool up to release the hypersonic sabot payload. Several cases of these rifles have been released for field testing.
• Range: 125/250/500
• Damage: 3d10+5
• • In addition to other effects, characters wounded by this are at an additional -2 to heal their wounds due to the depleted uranium shell's innovative tearing design.
• AP: 15 (Goes through up to 12" of heavy steel plate)
• Rate of Fire: 1; Shooting is a full round action.
• Payload: Helical magazine containing 12 APDS rounds (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabots)
Features:
• • Integrated laser targeting and advanced optics scope offsets two points of Range and/or Darkness penalties.
• Modifiers: Double the benefits of the Aim action.
• Weight: 20 lbs.
Helical magazines must be custom made by highly skilled weapons shops and have a base cost of 1000 credits each.

Should the wrong person discover the origins of a Vat-grown human, they would be very valuable to study for reverse engineering.
- Large and in Charge: Vat-grown humans have a physical build which makes it difficult to wear armor or operate vehicles. Armor must be custom-designed and fitted, at least doubling purchase and repair costs. Operating a vehicle not refitted for the species is done at a −2 for all Trait checks, including firing vehicular weapons. Glitter Boy armor (and the Iconic Framework) is not an option for this race. [-1]
- Rank and File: What good is a pricey, vat-grown super soldier if it talks back or doesn't follow orders? Vat-grown humans suffer a -1 penalty to all Smarts and Spirit rolls. [-4]
- Resilient: Engineered for combat, Vat-grown humans are hardier than natural born humans. They start with Vigor d6 (Trait maximum d12+1) [+2]
- Size +1: Vat-grown humans are designed with a large frame to support their increased muscle mass. They average 7 feet tall and weigh 250+ lbs. Their size grants them +1 Toughness. [+1]
- Superhuman Strength: Vat-grown humans are created with humanity's maximum genetic potential for Strength straight out of the test tube. They start with Strength d8 (Trait maximum d12+2). [+4]

KLS-RG-15X Manpack Electromagnetic Rail Gun (Patron Item)
The brain child of the KLS corporation, this rail gun design is a miniaturized version of the RG-14 Electromagnetic Mass Driver. It's flexibility, efficiency, and relatively light weight make it the most potent man-portable, anti-armor & anti-demon weapon system ever produced. The only drawback is the delay in discharge as the capacitors spool up to release the hypersonic sabot payload. Several cases of these rifles have been released for field testing.
• Range: 125/250/500
• Damage: 3d10+5
• • In addition to other effects, characters wounded by this are at an additional -2 to heal their wounds due to the depleted uranium shell's innovative tearing design.
• AP: 15 (Goes through up to 12" of heavy steel plate)
• Rate of Fire: 1; Shooting is a full round action.
• Payload: Helical magazine containing 12 APDS rounds (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabots)
Features:
• • Integrated laser targeting and advanced optics scope offsets two points of Range and/or Darkness penalties.
• Modifiers: Double the benefits of the Aim action.
• Weight: 20 lbs.
Helical magazines must be custom made by highly skilled weapons shops and have a base cost of 1000 credits each.
APDS rounds must be custom made by highly skilled weapons shops and have a base cost of 250 credits each.

Combat Cyborg
- Hero’s Journey (Three Rolls)
- Borgs gain two rolls on any of the following tables: Cybernetics, Close Combat Weapons, Ranged Weapons, and Training.
- They gain a third roll on any table except those dealing with magic, psionics, or Body Armor.
- Abilities and Bonuses
- Bionic Augmentation: Combat Cyborgs begin with Strength d12+2, Agility d10, and Vigor d12. These traits do not have an attribute maximum.
- Cybernetic Enhancements: ‘Borgs have these cybernetic systems (already factored into starting stats): Armor Plating (1), Audio Package, Bionic Strength Augmentation, Core Electronics Package, Cyber-Wired Reflexes, Optics Package, Reinforced Frame (1), Synthetic Organ Replacement (see page 100).
- High-performance Legs: Full-conversion ‘borgs begin with the Fleet-Footed Edge.
- M.D.C. Armor: Cyborg construction provides +8 M.D.C. Armor and +3 Toughness, which can be improved with additional cybernetics but does not stack with worn armor, use the higher value.
- More Machine: ‘Borgs add +2 to recover from Shaken, ignore one level of wound modifiers, possess a self-contained breathing apparatus, and are immune to poison and disease.
- Size +1: Combat Cyborgs are big and heavy, gaining +1 Toughness from their size.
- Upgradable: ‘Borgs start with the Upgradable Edge.
- Unarmed Combat: Combat Cyborgs deal Str+d6 (Mega Damage) in unarmed combat and are considered armed.
- Complications
- All Those Moving Parts: ‘Borgs cannot be healed or treated with medicine when they are hurt. Instead they must be repaired. Fixing a cyborg requires the Repair skill—which is used like the Healing skill, only with no Golden Hour.
- Gray Matter: Combat Cyborgs only start with two points (instead of the normal five) for attributes and these may only be spent on Smarts and Spirit. Points from Hindrances and Advances may be used to raise any attribute.
- Heavy: Combat cyborgs are extra-heavy making it difficult to operate Power Armor, Robot Armor, and vehicles not built for them. Power Armor must be reinforced, doubling purchase and repair costs. Operating Robot Armor or a vehicle not refitted for them is done at a −2 to all Trait checks, including firing vehicular weapons.
- Inhuman Appearance: ‘Borgs suffer −2 Charisma when dealing with most beings.
- Loss of Dexterity: A Combat Cyborg’s systems are designed for combat excellence, not delicate work or even common use. A ‘borg suffers −2 to all Agility rolls and linked skills not directly related to combat.
- Malfunctions: Cyborgs are subject to the same potential problems all tech items and gear face (see the Technical Difficulties Setting Rule on page 122).
- Shadow of Themselves: ‘Borgs don’t choose a race, but may increase an attribute one die type or take an Edge (meeting all requirements) to reflect their original race.
- Spiritually Numb: Combat Cyborgs can’t take Arcane Background.
- Total Conversion: Becoming a Combat Cyborg uses all of a character’s personal Strain ever. They start with only the 6 Strain from the Upgradable Edge and can only gain more from the Beyond the Limit Edge.
- Starting Gear
- NG-56 Light Ion Pistol, Mini Rail Gun,
- Chain Greatsword, 1d4 × 1,000 credits.
Hero’s Journey
- Cybernetics (11): Nothing like a Range Data System to make hitting all those pesky enemy targets diving for cover that much easier.
- Ranged Weapons (1): Add any Personal Ranged Weapon listed in this book to your character’s gear list. Apply all other results from rolling on this table to your new weapon as you wish. (Improved Trademark on Mini rail gun if allowed; Apply table options to Minigun as desired instead of choosing a new weapon if allowed, trade Ranged Weapons 1 + Training 4 for Cybernetics 1 otherwise)
- Training (4): Whether via formal training in a dedicated school, learning at the hands of a master, or just surviving a dangerous world, your hero’s picked up some serious fighting skills. He’s got the Martial Artist Edge (or Improved Martial Artist, if he already had the former), as well as the Brawler Edge.
