Background
Hedge woke with a start blinking in the darkness of whatever hovel he was staying in. He shivered, despite the heat and humidity.

The swamps, he reminded himself. I am in the swamps.

The cold coursing through his body eventually gave way to the close, sticky, air of the dinosaur swamps. Fumbling for his pack the vagrant rolled a leaf of local tobacco and lit it with a wooden match.

Inhaling deeply Hedge tried to clear his mind. His dream was always the same. The night in Soulharvest that went terribly wrong. He was leading an expedition of cyberknights and psi-warriors intent on freeing many souls from the sway of the Harvesters. Instead, all were lost. Turned to soulless xombies when the releasing ritual went terribly wrong.

Rather than sending the avatars from the xombies back to Nxyla, devourer of souls, the group released a massive wave of dark, icy, tendrils. Hedge froze, literally and figuratively, unable to move in the face of the intense cold pressing against his soul. He watched in agonizing, slow motion, as tendrils wrapped around his companions, entering and occupying their minds. His eyes locked with theirs, now empty voids, barren of the warm spark of life.

His breath caught in his lungs, Hedge could not scream but only let out a small gasp. A dark tendril passed over his face, prodding his mind and soul. Miraculously he resisted, but not without damage. He had touched minds with the devoured. The evil entity left a single psychic impression on the young knight, This is your fault.

The voice pounding inside his skull always woke him, and echoed through his mind everyday. Hedge may not have become a soulless one but part of him is just as imprisoned.

Taking another puff of his makeshift cigarette Hedge stood up and sighed. He had fallen far. From cyber knight, champion of light, to hedge knight, drifter in the night. After Soulharvest he fled, not daring to face the gaze of the Psynex or shame of his fellow Knights. From the Magic Zone to Arzno. Across the Pecos Badlands into the great Dinosaur Swamps. Hedge fled his past, trying to make amends by doing good along the way. Yet, the voice of Nxla still reverberated through his mind.

Rummaging through his bag he unfurled a tattered paper he got from a caravan of Tolkien refugees in old Kansas. It bore the symbol of a castle and gave the directions to a place called "refuge" and an invitation from the Council of Hope to join the fight to build a better tomorrow.

Sighing Hedge crumpled the paper and stubbed out his smoke. It was time to stop being dominated by the past. And what better way to face the future than by joining the Tomorrow Legion?

Gear

Armor
Cyber-Knight Medium Armor

• Protection: +6 Armor, +2 Toughness
• Min Str: d6
• Weight: 14
• Cost: 120,000
• Notes: healing and relief. Requires an interface with Cyber-Armor to function.

Zaayr Crystal Amulet (sig item)
A gift given to champions of Psyscape, usually passed down from generation to generation. This amulet is made with the scale of a Zaayr Crystal dragon (freely given) and seems to radiate a dull light even when not activated. Looking closely at the crystal reveals a swirling pattern of light twinkling from deep inside of it. Bearers of the amulet are resistant to lasers and other energy attacks. Wearers can also infuse it with ISP (not PPE) causing light to emanate from the amulet, making it an excellent beacon or torch that can hold vampires and other creatures of darkness at bay. With even more ISP the amulet can emit an intense, brilliant, flash of light that can blind friend and foe alike.

• Trapping: sunlight
• Major: Add a power light (limitations: range (object), aspect (light only) -2)
• Major: Add a power blind
• Minor x2: +4 armor against lasers, particle beams, ion weapons, and energy attacks.

The Protector

• Base Item: Large Polymer Shield
• Minor Enchantment: +1 Parry
• Minor Enchantment: +1 to Tests initiated by the wielder
• Major Enchantment: Once per encounter, as a free action that need not be taken on his turn and does not count towards his action total for that turn, the wielder of the Protector may activate the teleport power with a Spirit roll in order to move in front of an attack directed at an ally. If successful, the triggering attack is made at the wielder instead of its original target, and any damage or other effects are resolved against the wielder of the Protector. This feature costs no ISP, but a critical failure results in a level of Fatigue, which can incapacitate the user.
• Major Enchantment: Bolster Edge
