Post what you’re thinking of playing here. What are you special at? So others can think about what they want to play.

[Dorn Giantslayer]

In combat Dorn plans on filling the role heavy infantry similar to Power Armor or Cyborg though he'll need time to upgrade weapons and armor. Starting juicer gear is good but a little underwhelming for a TITAN JUICER!!!

Out of combat I used the bonus HJ pick to get I know a Guy with the Networking bonus and plan to also have a sig item to boost this role.

Triatary I'll be looking to build up battle skill and maybe hacking though Dorn will have a bit of a disadvantage in the Smarts skill area since Juicers have a -1 to smarts skills out of combat.

[Fields]

Fields is a Healer and Leader, he has the ability show you be the best you, you can possibly be.

While under his leadership you benefit from all Leadership edges!
+1 to Spirit rolls to recover from shaken
+1 Toughness
+1 Fighting and Damage rolls
He can support the whole team with a single roll
May use d10 wild die for group rolls like Stealth to sneak up to a facility
He gets Two Extra cards he may give out to replace your cards.
May share bennies with each other.


Fields was a mutant descended designed from parents who were failed Lonestar experiments.
When his talent manifested the Facility employees got wind of it and decided to capture him. However, while he was avoiding them he was captured by a Genesplicer. The torture he went through under the hands of the Genesplicer seemed like it would never end until it decided to through him out. Discarded in a waste chute fields awakened surrounded by filth and waste.
From there he took off, he has twice been recaptured by Lonestar employees and escaped. However, they have not given up on him. The material taken from him in the past has included blood samples, brain tissue and even whole limbs. But efforts to clone him with those samples have failed. Frustrated they are unable to capture whatever the Genesplicer now the complex scientist want him for breading and more experiments.
Fields hates the torture and pain and will do anything to keep from getting captured and if possible get as much revenge as possible on the CS soldiers who try to capture him.

[Claudia]

Claudia is a Shifter mostly focusing on support and crowd control spells.
Can create non-TW minor magic items per A&M

[Sparky]

Sparky is replacing Dorn and he's an EOD Specialist.

So his primary area of interest is blowing stuff up. He really likes blowing stuff up. He has a handful of plasma grenades for throwing and a lot of launcher grenades for his pistol and rifle launchers. You have been warned.

He also has a fairly broad technical background. Repair (obviously), Hacking, Electronics, Science, Research, etc. Plan on getting Scholar for Science in a session or two.

He will also have fairly good Networking abilities. The edges I know a guy, Streetwise and Scrounger plus bonuses should help acquire information and gear in an emergency.

He's also a Linguist so should be able to provide a lot of translation services.

Did I mention he likes to blow stuff up?

[Nerak]

Nerak is blademaster. When he wades into combat it is best to stay very clear of him.

He has taken trophies from worthy foes he has defeated in combat. So far his trophies include.
TW Heavy Mage armor
God Slayer Sword
Draining blade Sword
Altess Eviscerator

He is beholden to @Fields for healing him and then getting him away from the CS deadboys at the fall of Tolkeen.

[Berk]

Berk is a Simvan Psi-Druid. He is very skilled in Survival, Healing, Shooting, and Riding, and is a Major Psychic, but his specialty is Beast Taming, and has a Wildcard Rhino Buffalo named Stompy.

BTW, you may not want to eat any meat or food containing meat that Berk prepares...

[Jade Grimhilde]

Yumi is a weird science power armor ace, possessed of advanced technology from another world. Her modified Titan lets her engaged in close combat or long-range combat with considerable skill and power. With Gadgeteering, she can whip up any number of interesting solutions to problems, in or out of her mech.

[Daniel]

Yumi is a weird science power armor ace…

Oh yeah. Can you make an account for her or rename this account to reflect the character. Thank you.
