Hindrances
Coalition Elite [Major]: Born to the cutthroat world of the upper echelons of Coalition society, you deal with the echoes of it constantly. Upon meeting someone who knows your background, roll Persuasion. On a success, you gain +2 Charisma with them, but they will expect favors from you. On a raise, you'll get +4 Charisma with them, and they will expect multiple favors. On a failure, you will get -2 charisma with them and they will consider you their enemy (whether you are or not). On a critical failure, you will be -4 to Charisma with them.
Loyal [Minor]: Encouraged by the C.S. in training, your character would give her life for her friends. This character can never leave another soldier behind if there’s any chance at all she could help.
Vow: Serve the CS [Minor]: Everyone who is a part of the formal CS Military and Security forces takes an oath to serve and protect the Coalition against all comers. You feel strongly about this, but it is not as dear as breathing to you.

Edges
Martial Artist This character is highly trained in hand-to-hand fighting.He is never considered unarmed in combat and so is never subject to the Unarmed Defender rule (page 76). With a successful unarmed attack, he adds +d4 to his Strength roll (as if he were using a small weapon).
Improved Martial Artist The character now adds +d6 to his barehanded damage.
Counterattack Fighters with this Edge know how to respond instantly to an enemy’s mistakes. Once per round, the character receives one free Fighting attack against one adjacent foe who failed a Fighting attack against him. This attack is made at –2, and the Counterattack must be a normal attack (no Disarm, Wild Attack, or other maneuvers), and may not be combined with Frenzy or Sweep. It may be used with the Defend maneuver, but not Full Defense.
First Strike Once per turn the hero (if not Shaken) gets a free Fighting attack against a single foe who moves adjacent to him. This automatically interrupts the opponent’s action and does not cost the hero his action if he is on Hold or has not yet acted this round.
Sweep Sweep allows a character to make a single Fighting attack and apply it against all currently adjacent targets at a –2 penalty (friends and foes alike—be careful). Resolve each damage roll separately. The attack is applied immediately when rolled and only affects targets adjacent at that time. A character may not use Sweep in the same round she uses Frenzy, nor may she Sweep more than once per round, or with a second weapon held in another hand. In effect, the hero may only perform Sweep once per action unless she somehow gets two entire actions (perhaps under the effects of a spell or power, for example).
Quick Quick characters have lightning-fast reflexes and a cool head. Whenever you are dealt a 5 or lower in combat, you may discard and draw again until you get a card higher than 5. Characters with both the Level Headed and Quick Edges draw their additional card and take the best as usual. If that card is a Five or less, the Quick Edge may be used to draw a replacement until it’s Six or higher.
Investigator Investigators have spent a great deal of time researching ancient legends, working the streets, or deducing devilish mysteries. Some of these heroes are actual Private Investigators for hire while others may be sleuthing mages in a fantasy world or perhaps inquisitive college professors stumbling upon Things Man Was Not Meant to Know in the dark of night. Investigators add +2 to Investigation and Streetwise rolls, as well as Notice rolls made to search through evidence
Basic Demolition Education Course: This character can set pre-programmed demo charges with a Common Knowledge Roll as long as someone with Knowledge (Demolitions) Sets the charges up and tells the character where to place it (successful roll on Knowledge (Demolitions)).
Two-Fisted: A Two-Fisted hero isn’t ambidextrous—he’s simply learned to fight with two weapons (or both fists) at once. When attacking with a weapon in each hand, he rolls each attack separately but ignores the multi-action penalty.
Brawler Frequent fights with his bare hands have given this thug a powerful punch. When he hits a foe with a successful bare-handed Fighting roll, he adds +2 to his damage.
Commando Commandos tackle the toughest missions on the front, but often operate behind enemy lines with little chance of coming home. They are almost always outnumbered and outgunned so they need to be mentally sharp to stay ahead of the enemy. Commandos add +2 to all Fatigue rolls made against environmental hazards (including cold and heat), sleep deprivation, foot marches, and +2 to all Survival rolls. As much of their work involves getting close to their targets for a silent takedown, they receive a +1 to Stealth rolls. All of these bonuses are cumulative with those derived from other Edges.
Power Armor Jock Power armor requires a basic level of training and experience to operate effectively. A character must have this Edge to avoid a −2 penalty to Agility and all skill rolls while wearing power armor.
Command Command is the ability to give clear instructions to surrounding allies and enforce your hero’s will upon them. This makes your character’s compatriots more willing to fight on despite their wounds, and so adds +1 to their Spirit rolls to recover from being Shaken.

[Joe Marshal]

Background

Being born to a life of privilege isn't all it's cracked up to be. Things are expected of you for just having the same name as a famous hero of the Coalition States. In this case Joe is the Great Grandson of Marshal Cabot, so you see what I mean. Joe was given the best education and the best living that could be given to a young child in the Coalition States, he was basically royalty on the merit of his name alone. Joe's grand father and father both were military men, not quite to the caliber of his Great Grandfather, but close enough. Joe actually grew up resenting that everything was handed to him, but he was expected to just fall into place. Joe did the only thing that made sense, he legally changed his name and Joined the Army to make his own legacy. Joe basically infuriated his father and his grandfather, though it seems Marshal Cabot was not only amused by his great grandson, he encouraged it. What also drove his forebears crazy was that Joe didn't sign up for officers academy and joined in with the regular grunts. Joe had some advantages, such as years of martial arts training and genetic treatments as an embryo, but he was just a regular joe... So long as no one finds out his real name.

Journal
June 1st-July 1st 110 PA
First month of rotation duty has proven to be easier than thought for Joe. Joe has taken a few engineering classes to cover the idea of being part of a combat engineering platoon. Now the easy part is over the Fighting Joe's, they are on the move now.



Long Term Goal: Become a General without the backing of his Family's name.
Short Term: Get a medal.

Hero’s Journey
Education
Roll: [dice]0[/dice]
Born with a natural inquisitiveness, your hero has a gift for research and finding things out. He has the Investigator Edge and the Investigation skill at d6.
Training
Roll: 1d20=11 (11)
Functional machines and technology often mean the difference between life and death in the world of Savage Rifts®. Fortunately for any group your hero runs with, she’s pretty good with tech, giving her a one die type increase for the Repair skill, as well as +1 on Knowledge (Electronics) and Knowledge (Engineering) rolls.
Experience & Wisdom
Roll: 1d20=16
Life on the road, in the wilderness, and wandering the streets of the cities that remain gave your character special insight and some key experience with a particular calling. You may give her one Professional Edge, ignoring requirements, subject to the GM’s approval and it making at least some kind of sense. Commando Professional Edge
Training:
Roll 1d20=3
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.
Training:
Roll 1d20=5
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.
Education
Roll 1d20=19
The world was ended in war, reborn in war, and war remains the most prevalent truth of the age. Your character understands this better than anyone, and he gains
a d8 in Knowledge (Battle) to prove it. He also has the Command Edge (or one Leadership Edge of her choice if she already has Command).
