Edges
  • Bite (Racial): Str+d4 damage and can bite grappled foes.
  • Big Brute (Racial): Begin with the Brute Edge and Size +1, gaining +1 Toughness and increasing maximum Strength one step.
  • Low Light Vision (Racial): ignore Illumination penalties for Dim and Dark lighting.
  • Physical Strength (Racial): start with a d6 Strength, which increases Trait maximum accordingly.
  • Brute (Racial): Athletics as linked to Strength, increase the Short Range of any thrown item by +1. Double that for the adjusted Medium Range, and double again for Long Range.
  • Psi (IF): Psionics d6, Arcane Background (Psionics), 10 ISP, plus bolt, protection, smite, and telekinesis as Innate Abilities. Protection and smite have the Range (Self) limitation. Use the standard Psionics list and choose one other power from it.
  • Slinger (IF): Shooting d6 plus the Marksman, Steady Hands, Danger Sense and Quick Edges.

  • Steady Hands (IF): ignores the Unstable Platform penalty, and when running, reducing the penalty from −2 to −1
  • Danger Sense (IF): When rolling for Surprise, add +2 to his Notice roll to act in the first round. With a raise, start the encounter on Hold. In situations not covered by the Surprise rules (a sniper shot, pit trap, poisoned drink, etc.), Danger Sense gives him a Notice roll at −2 (or +2 if a Notice roll is usually allowed) to detect the hazard and take appropriate action. If this was an attack and the hero makes his Notice roll, the foe doesn’t get The Drop.

  • Energetic Deminishment (IF): While protection is activated, take −4 damage from energy attacks (electricity, fire, ion, lasers, particle beams, plasma, etc.).

  • Trademark Weapon (Flaming Sword) (F&G): +1 to Fighting rolls, and +1 to Parry when readied
  • Trademark Weapon (Colt Peacemaker) (HJ): +1 to Shooting rolls, and +1 to Parry when readied. HJ also adds +2 on any Trait re-roll, stacks with Elan.
  • Quick Draw: +2 to Agility checks to interrupt if drawing a weapon, when rolling for Surprise may check Agility instead of Notice to act first in the round. If the hero has the Danger Sense Edge (including Sixth Sense) it is unchanged, simply substitute Agility rolls for Notice rolls with the listed bonuses.
  • Major Psionic: double ISP gained from the Arcane Background (Psionics) and Power Points Edges. Before attempting a Psionics skill roll may spend 2 ISP to gain +1 to the roll, or 4 ISP for +2.
  • Sharpshooting: Can move about and still focus on aiming. When making ranged attacks at RoF 1, may either gain a +1 to hit or ignore up to 4 points of penalties from Called Shots, Cover, Illumination, Range, Scale, or Speed.
  • Reliable: Free reroll on any Support roll. (Story bonus)
  • Level Headed: Draw two (2) action cards and select which to use. Applies before Quick. (Story bonus)
  • Menacing: Being a brutish lout isn’t always a drawback if you know how to use it. Menacing allows a character to put her bad looks or worse attitude to good use. The goon adds +2 to her Intimidation rolls.
  • Trick Shooting: May do any of the following:
    • Make attack rolls with traditionally two-handed ranged weapons (like rifles) one-handed at no penalty, but the minimum Strength required is
      increased by one die type.
    • Halve the Multi-Action Penalty when only making Sharpshooting ranged attacks in a round.
    • Ignore the penalty for running when making Sharpshooting attacks while running.
    Trick Shooting effects stack with and are in addition to the effects of Sharpshooting. The Trick Shooting Edge works with Shooting or Athletics (throwing), and may be used in combination with the Double Tap Edge and firing modes like Three-Round Burst, but not Rapid Fire or other Edges which include attacking at a Rate of Fire above 1.
  • Master Psionic: Gain access to the Mega Power Modifiers for all known psionics powers. Also add elemental manipulation to their power list applying electrokinetic (air) trapping.
Cybernetics
None

Background

Billy Kid is a recent Rifter. The world he comes from is much like the “Wild West” of ancient Earth but mixed liberally with what most would call “fantasy” creatures. To Billy it was home.

Born to a small family his father was a miner but mom stayed at home. Early in his young life Billy's dad told him to find any other job than mining. It was back breaking, dangerous work that barely kept the family fed. Though Billy was not scared of the danger he understood not wanting to do hard labor for almost no pay. He tried a variety of jobs but between his anger and... difficulty thinking he ended up a deputy to the town sheriff. In that job his rough look and attitude was actually a benefit.

It did not take long for Billy to learn some of the special abilities the sheriff had. Soon the sheriff was willing to let Billy go solo on some of the jobs. However, when a large group of bandits set up in a box canyon not too far from town the sheriff actually deputized sever others to help bring them in. As they were closing in on where they believed the bandits were a strange storm kicked up. Almost no rain but lots of thunder to go with the odd blue lighting. Though Billy does not talk about it much he does admit to suddenly finding himself in a heavily wooded area that was obviously not home.

In time he ended up in Castle Refuge and decided to join the Tomorrow Legion. He has reticently been assigned to the 32nd SET which has been assigned a mission in Psyscape.

I don't see your powers posted anywhere, but nearly everything looks legit to me, @Kuikku.

As far as I can tell, you still have 4 skill points remaining:
+1 shooting, +2 Psionics, +2 Healing, +1 Athletics, +1 Notice, +1 Stealth, +1 Riding, +2 Survival = 11/15.
(If you accounted for points in Athletics, Common Knowledge, Notice, Persuasion, or Stealth, remember that those are Core Skills and all five start at d4 for free).

There is one problem with your advances, however. At Novice 3, you indicate that you're bumping Psionics 10/Fighting d8. Psionics is linked to Smarts and you only have a d6 in Smarts. You could raise Psionics to d10 or Fighting to d8 + one other skill below its linked attribute, but not both.

Looks like you incorporated @Koshnek's feedback already; thanks to you both.

He just needs a background and his powers, and Billy looks ready to go! Please let me know once you create an account for him and I will get him authorized to post on the forum.
