Background
Arthur grew up in a medium sized farming community. The fourth of eight children, he had no aspirations to take over the family general store so decided to make his way into the world. He had a lust for adventure so he took up with a group of mercenaries that provided protection for travelling groups, He did a decent job, but didn’t quite find the adventure he was seeking. That all changed when his group took on a contract protecting a facility in the city of Newtown. It quickly became evident why the extra security was hired when the facility he was protecting started to announce a way to extend the life of Juicers. Arthur was protecting the facility when the juicers became violent and a riot occured. What exactly transpired isn’t 100 percent clear to Arthur as the stress of teh event caused his latent psionic abilities to emerge. He remembers the violence and chaos, and most of all he remembers the innocents trapped between the warring parties. After coming to his senses he took to the road again, plying his abilities as a protector, eventually coming to join the Tomorrow Legion in order to do as much good as he could in the world.

Edge: Rapid Lightning Bolt (From Major Hindrance)
Edge: Scrounger (From HJ Roll)
Edge: Connections: Black Market (From HJ Roll)
Edge: Major Psionic (From IF)
Edge: Charismatic (From advance)


Iconic Framework Abilities and bonuses Psionics: I.S.P. 20
Powers: Telekinesis, Armor, Boost/Lower Trait, Mind Reading (From HJ Roll)

• Arcane Background (Psionics): A Zapper begins with three powers from the list above (one of which is usually telekinesis), 20 ISP, and a d8 Psionics skill.
• Broadcast: The hero can tap into radio and television broadcasts within one mile. Connecting to an encrypted transmission requires a Psionics roll at –2.
• Electrical Aura: At will, as an action (no roll required), a Zapper can surround himself with a field of electromagnetism, causing 3d6 damage to anyone who touches him (with a melee or touch attack, for example). He can add this damage to any Fighting attack he makes, as well. When the aura is activated, it provides +6 Armor to the Zapper (this stacks with the armor power, but not worn armor). Neither effect costs any ISP. However, if he spends 3 ISP when he activates his Electrical Aura, the damage becomes Mega Damage and the Armor gains the M.D.C. quality. Electrical Aura goes away whenever the Zapper is Incapacitated or is otherwise unconscious.
• Electrical Mastery: Over a Large Burst Template centered anywhere within 12”, the Zapper can create, control, and eliminate electricity and magnetic fields. He can create minor electrical and magnetic effects (or ground electricity) as a free action with no roll. As an action, he can create environmental effects that impose a −2 to Trait rolls (−4 with a raise). For any Trait rolls, use the Psionics skill. None of these effects cost ISP.
• EMP: Using a controlled burst of electro-magnetic energy a Zapper can shut down technological devices. As an action, she can target a device or vehicle within her Spirit range and make a Psionics roll to shut it down for three rounds, or a full minute with a raise. Simple items like firearms or communicators are rolled with no penalty. To affect advanced systems like a computer or a vehicle’s weapon system imposes a −2 modifier, while shutting down robot armor, a suit of power armor (including a Glitter Boy), or an entire vehicle requires a roll at −4. To affect a cyborg requires an opposed roll at −4 against the target’s Smarts. The target loses the use of his cybernetics for the duration. This Incapacitates a Combat Cyborg for that period of time.
• Lightning Bolt: The Zapper can hurl forth a lightning bolt of 4d6 Damage with a Range of 12/24/48. This costs no ISP and does Mega Damage. The Zapper may add +2 AP by spending 1 ISP per Lightning Bolt, or +4 AP for 2 ISP. Double the bonus for the same cost when on a ley line. Rolling a 1 on the Psionics die when using a lightning bolt does not result in Brainburn (per Savage Worlds).
• Major Psionics : Zappers begin with the Major Psionics Edge. When they take the Power Points Edge, they gain 10 ISP (instead of 5). They are able to spend 2 ISP for a +1 to Psionics rolls, and 4 ISP for a +2 (added before the roll). They can spend +1 ISP for Range × 2 for any ranged (not Self or Touch) powers, or +2 ISP for Range × 10. These last two effects are doubled when on a ley line.
• Stormwalker: The Zapper is completely impervious to all sources of electricity and magnetism; he could take a direct lightning strike and come out unscathed - this includes ion and stun weapons. Most other energy attacks do only half damage, including lasers, fire, and plasma attacks.

Hero’s Journey

• Table Psionics
  • (9) Variety of techniques is a power all its own;your psionic knows one power of any Rank from her own list or one Novice power normally unavailable.
• Table Psionics
  • (19) Picked (16) Many psionics strive for a level of enlightenment that transcends matters physical, focusing ever more energy and effort via their will. Your hero is able to spend a Benny to use her Spirit in place of any other Trait roll for a round.
• Table Experience and Wisdom
  • (5)With a nose for opportunities, horse-trading, and five-fingered discounts, your hero is the go-to person for getting what’s needed in a crunch. He has the Scrounger Edge and Connections (Black Market)
• Table Training
  • (1) After serving in a military, paramilitary, militia, or security force for some time, your hero has some solid combat training. She gains +5 Skill Points, which may be spent on Fighting, Shooting, or Throwing in any combination.

Psionics & Trappings

Telekinesis
Trapping: Electromagnetic force. When a person or object is grabbed with telekinesis it is surrounded by crackling energy.
Power Points: 5
Range: Smarts
Duration: 3 (1/round)

Armor
Trapping: Electromagnetism. An aura of crackling energy surrounds his body.
Power Points: 2
Range: Touch
Duration: 3 (1/round)


Boost/Lower Trait
Trapping: Electricity. When using this for a benefit the body of the target is charged up with electrical energy. When used to lower a trait, the target suffers from muscle spasms on a raise (target makes a vigor roll or be at a -2 parry for their next action)
Points: 2
Range: Smarts
Duration: 3 (1/round)

Mind Reading
Trapping: Electromagnetism. Arthur uses his command over the electromagnetic spectrum to read the target's thoughts, which are electrical impulses. This process is very exhausting for the target, and they must make a vigor roll (at -2 on a raise) or suffer fatigue.
Power Points: 3
Range: Half of Smarts
Duration: 1

Okay, I updated the post with your character and changed all the post to your account so you can edit them.

You should be good for finishing off trappings and getting lined up with a GM.

Look in the current groups and see if there is a game you would like to jump in or just ask and a GM will say hey we would like you.

If you separate boost rate from lower trait you may add another trapping. That would let you put a beneficial trapping like jazz on your boost straight.

I asked the other GM's and that's the only feedback given so far. I'll help get you set up for the 99 later when I get back from Hawaii.

Character looks good! Welcome to the fold!

Welcome,

Everything looks good, work with your GM to get started in game play!
