Hindrances

• Arrogant (Major):
  Arrogant (Major)

  Your hero doesn’t think he’s the best—he knows he is. Whether it’s swordsmanship, kung fu, or painting, few compare to his skills and he flaunts it every chance he gets.
  
  Winning isn’t enough for this champion. He wants to dominate his opponent and prove there’s no one better. He’s the kind of fighter who disarms an opponent in a duel just to pick the sword up and hand it back with a smirk. Arrogant individuals look for the greatest threat in battle, hacking their way through lesser minions only because they’re in the way.
• Can't Swim (Minor):
  Can’t Swim (Minor)

  Most people in the 21st century can swim thanks to swimming pools, easy travel to lakes and beaches, or educational efforts. Historically, however, those who weren’t raised around a temperate body of water could not.
  
  Characters with this Hindrance suffer a −2 penalty to the Athletics skill when swimming and each inch moved in water costs 3″ of Pace. See Movement (page 92) for more details and Drowning (page 126).
• Coalition Exile (Minor):
  COALITION EXILE (MINOR)

  The human hero was a member of Coalition society but has left the States on poor terms—and she is on the Internal Security Service’s wanted list. Additionally, if any D-Bees or magic users learn of the character’s past they instinctively distrust her, incurring a −1 Persuasion check modifier. On the plus side, she gains a +1 bonus to Taunt or Intimidate D-Bees and mages familiar with the Coalition.

Edges

• Healer: Add +2 to all Healing rolls, whether natural or magical in nature. (Human Free Edge)
• Scholar: Add +2 to the total whenever Occult is used. (IF)
• Scholar: Add +2 to the total whenever Science is used. (IF)
• Monster Slayer: (IF)
  MONSTER SLAYER

  Requirements: Seasoned, Smarts d6+, Occult d8+, Notice d6+
  
  The hero has expert knowledge of the supernatural forces common to Rifts Earth and is trained to exploit their weaknesses. When confronted with a supernatural opponent, Monster Slayers may take an action to roll Occult to identify a foe, its characteristics, and common tactics. The GM may impose penalties for uncommon or unique beings.
  
  If successful, the Monster Slayer has identified the foe, the GM reveals the being’s weaknesses (if any) and the
  Monster Slayer’s advice grants allies a +1 bonus to Trait rolls versus such creatures until the end of the encounter. On a raise, the target’s special abilities of note (if any) are revealed, and the bonus to Trait rolls is increased to +2.
• Combat Lifesaver (Seasoned, Healing d4, Smarts d6) (Professional Edge) [Initial Advances from Hindrances]
  COMBAT LIFESAVER

  Requirements: Seasoned, Healing d4+, Smarts d6+
  The hero ignores 1 point of Wound penalties when Healing or stabilizing a character (including himself). In addition, he may make a Support roll and affect up to Smarts in Extras under his supervision when they check Vigor to recover per the Aftermath & Extras rules (see Savage Worlds).
• Improved Combat Lifesaver (Veteran, Combat Lifesaver, Healing d6) [Initial Advances from Hindrances]
  IMPROVED COMBAT LIFESAVER

  Requirements: Veteran, Combat Lifesaver, Healing d6+
  The hero ignores 2 points of Wound penalties when Healing or stabilizing a character (including himself). In addition, when an allied Wild Card under his care rolls on the Death & Defeat Table (see The Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide), the hero may first make a Healing Support roll. The ally then adds that bonus (if any) to the result of their roll on the table.
• Take'em Down (Seasoned) (Combat) [GM Award Hero's Journey]
  TAKE ‘EM DOWN

  Requirements: Seasoned
  Rifts Earth is full of big mean enemies of all kinds whether they be tanks, dragons, or Techno-Wizardry automatons. When attacking targets 1 or more Sizes larger than the hero, he adds +4 to the AP value of his weapons.
• Improved Take 'Em Down (Veteran, Take ‘Em Down) (Combat) [GM Award Hero's Journey]
  IMPROVED TAKE ‘EM DOWN

  Requirements: Veteran, Take ‘Em Down
  When attacking targets 1 or more Sizes larger than the hero, he may reroll damage once without spending a Benny.
• Upgradeable (Novice, M.A.R.S.) (Iconic Edge) [Novice 2]
• Rich (Novice) (Core Edge) [Seasoned 2]
• Upgrade (Seasoned, M.A.R.S.) (Iconic Edge) [Seasoned 3]
• Filthy Rich (Novice) (Core Edge) [Veteran 2]
• Upgrade (Veteran, M.A.R.S.) (Iconic Edge) [Veteran 3]
• Upgrade (Heroic,M.A.R.S.) (Iconic Edge) [Heroic 2]
• Upgrade (Legendary, M.A.R.S.) (Iconic Edge) [Legendary 2]
• Soldier (Novice, Strength d6, Vigor d6) (Professional) [Legendary 3]
  Soldier

  REQUIREMENTS: Novice, Strength d6, Vigor d6
  Professional soldiers get used to carrying heavy loads, and enduring harsh conditions. After a few days getting used to their gear (GM’s call), they treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining Encumbrance (page 67) and Minimum Strength to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty (page 66). (This stacks with the Brawny Edge.)
  
  They also get a free reroll on Vigor rolls made to survive environmental hazards (see Hazards, page 125).
• New Edge: brief description

[Sgt 86Delta]

Background

In his career with the Coalition States, Fritz Schumacher has had many assignments.

When he first enlisted, he was assigned as a Combat Medic. He lacked the Strength and Agility to wear the fancy Power Armors or hold the Big Guns of the CS Infantry. His mind made up for the things he physically lacked. He was known for quick reactions and effective applications on and off the battle field.

His physical limitations brought him into a conflict that he could not escape from. Struggling to run from a clan of Simvan when his platoon was overwhelmed, he lost a foot race to an ostrasaurus mount. The dino tapped poor Fritz beneath one of its clawed feet. The sheer weight of the dino nearly crushed him. He blacked out at that point and woke to find himself in a surgical and trauma ward.

His injuries had been so severe, that to save the life of the medic who saved numerous others, the Coalition had granted Fritz cybernetics. His cybernetic rebuild included Reinforced Framing, Bionic Strength Augmentations, and Cyber Wired Reflexes. His internal organs had miracously survived and the months of skin grafts soon had Fritz looking like his old self, sort of.

The CS figuring to follow on a hunch, figured that Fritz would hold some hatred for D-Bees. They reclassed him from Comabt Medic to RCGS Scientist.

Using his new cybernetics and his previous medical skills, Fritz began a grueling war against anything non-human. His personal war and the small victories never really brought him any peace or closure. He was developing a reputation both in and out of the CS.

Both refered to him as "The Spider". Outside of the CS he was rumored to climbwalls and hang from ceilings because of his extra appendages. Within the CS he was appluaded for his killing effeciency and near erradication of several D-Bee species. Fritz had little thought or concern for the lives, homes, and communities he was systematically tearing apart.

On deployment from Lone Star he was assigned to a detachment assigned to hit Black Mesa. The town was caught completely by surprise and those that held out were around the Sidewinder saloon. When Fritz arrived on scene, he was assigned to scour the outskirts for Black Market operatives and operations. In the hunt, he was suddenly called to the saloon for support and backup as the assessment had changed. There were monsters involved and Frit's skills were needed.

Fritz knew there was magic and psionics when he got closer to the Sidewinder. The forces outside were strong but the power eminating from inside the saloon was so much stronger. Fritz was certain he had a whopper of a magical entity on his hands. Excited he approached cautiously and paid little attention to the forces engaged around the saloon. He was drawn to the power of the being known as Stella.

Inside the saloon, Fritz realized he was suddenly closed off from the outside. His attempts to leave were thwarted by a magical barrier. It left him his only option, to move further into the saloon.

RCSG Scientist _

• RCSG SCIENTIST
  Trained by the Rifts Control Study Group, this subject matter expert has dedicated themselves to researching the Rifts, Ley Lines, magic, the supernatural, how they function in a scientific sense, and how to control them through technology. The RCSG also catalogs supernatural beings, pioneering their containment, capture, and study (vivisections are common). RCSG Scientists are often assigned to special operations teams to give expert analysis in the field.
• Add 1DT to Smarts, adjust Trait maximums accordingly.
• Begin with Occult d8, Science d8, and the Scholar Edge for both skills.
• Begin with Notice d6, Research d6, Survival d6, and the Monster Slayer Edge.
• Recognize the Arcane: RCSG Scientists have an uncanny knack for identifying and understanding arcane, psychic, and supernatural phenomena. Their trained eyes detect arcana per the base power (no modifiers, costing no Power Points) with a Notice check. They do not ignore penalties for foes hidden by supernatural abilities like invisibility.
• Make one less roll on the Hero’s Journey tables.
• Cannot take the Doubting Thomas or Illiterate Hindrances.
• Begin with the standard Starting Gear

• Combat Lifesaver (Seasoned, Healing d4, Smarts d6) (Professional Edge) [Initial Advances from Hindrances]
  COMBAT LIFESAVER

  Requirements: Seasoned, Healing d4+, Smarts d6+

  addition, he may make a Support roll and affect up to Smarts in Extras under his supervision when they check Vigor to recover per the Aftermath & Extras rules (see Savage Worlds).
• Improved Combat Lifesaver (Veteran, Combat Lifesaver, Healing d6) [Initial Advances from Hindrances]
  IMPROVED COMBAT LIFESAVER

  Requirements: Veteran, Combat Lifesaver, Healing d6+
  The hero ignores 2 points of Wound penalties when Healing or stabilizing a character (including himself). In
  addition, when an allied Wild Card under his care rolls on the Death & Defeat Table (see The Tomorrow Legion
  Player's Guide), the hero may first make a Healing Support roll. The ally then adds that bonus (if any) to the result of their roll on the table.
• Take'em Down (Seasoned) (Combat) [GM Award Hero's Journey]
  TAKE ‘EM DOWN

  Requirements: Seasoned
  Rifts Earth is full of big mean enemies of all kinds whether they be tanks, dragons, or Techno-Wizardry automatons. When attacking targets 1 or more Sizes larger than the hero, he adds +4 to the AP value of his weapons.
• Improved Take 'Em Down (Veteran, Take ‘Em Down) (Combat) [GM Award Hero's Journey]
  IMPROVED TAKE ‘EM DOWN

  Requirements: Veteran, Take ‘Em Down

  Soldier

  REQUIREMENTS: Novice, Strength d6, Vigor d6
  Professional soldiers get used to carrying heavy loads, and enduring harsh conditions. After a few days getting used to their gear (GM’s call), they treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining Encumbrance (page 67) and Minimum Strength to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty (page 66). (This stacks with the Brawny Edge.)
  
  They also get a free reroll on Vigor rolls made to survive environmental hazards (see Hazards, page 125).

Need to review later in more detail, but off hand the upgradable edge would need to come from your first 4 advances as part of your MARS or you would have died any time before selecting it.

Also looks like you have 21 strain worth of stuff, but off hand a 20 strain limit (12 Attributes +2 MARS, +6 Upgradable).

Otherwise you would be killed from the initial strain.

Looks like you can switch the Soldier edge with Upgradable and would be great.

Take another look at your agility based skills. Since your agility is d4 for character creation (looks like maybe you bought the agility increase) agility skills like fighting and shooting cost a bit more.

Good catch as Rich and Filthy rich came at Seasoned and Veteran, his Agility would be base before buying those enhancements and initial skills are purchased at 0 Advance.

Stuff like this can be hard to notice when making experienced characters.

First, I believe that the Bio Enhancements and Replacements Cyber, specifically The Bionic Strength Augmentation and Cyber Wired Reflexes, require the Reinforced Frame.

Second, based on the first statement, I skipped the Agility upgrades to ensure I had the necessary strain to afford it later.

Last, I am going back to the drawing board with this character again.
