Hindrances

• Code of Honor (Major): Once trained as a cyber-knight, he still holds to the Code. Honor is very important to your character. He keeps his word, doesn’t abuse or kill prisoners, and generally tries to operate within the notion of proper gentlemanly and knightly behavior.
  Loyal (Minor)Leave no man behind.
  Quirk (Minor): Still tries to use psionics from time to time.

Edges

• Iron Jaw: The hero can shrug off even extreme blows. He adds +2 to Soak rolls and Vigor rolls to avoid Knockout Blows (see page 100).
  Soldier: Professional soldiers can, after a few days getting used to their gear (GM’s call), treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining Encumbrance (page 67) and Minimum Strength to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty (page 66). (This stacks with the Brawny Edge.) They also get a free reroll on Vigor rolls made to survive environmental hazards (see Hazards, page 125).
  Upgradeable: This hero increases his Maximum Strain by +6.
  Danger Sense: When rolling for Surprise add +2 to Notice roll to act in the first round. With a raise, start the encounter on Hold. In other 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 against him.
  Two-Fisted: Make a Fighting attack with one action and another from a different hand in a later action, the second attack doesn’t inflict a Multi-Action penalty. The Off-Hand penalty still applies unless he’s Ambidextrous, however.
  First Strike: 1/turn (if not Shaken or Stunned), get a Free Attack if the target failed Fighting attack against the hero. The counterattack takes place immediately (before other hits against the hero on the same Action Card, if any).
  Counterattack: 1/round, as long as he’s not Shaken or Stunned, the hero gets a free Fighting attack against a foe immediately after he moves into Reach.
  Champion: Champions fight the forces of darkness adding +2 damage when attacking supernaturally evil creatures. The bonus applies to area effect damage, ranged attacks, powers, etc.
  Arcane Background (Psionics): While initially psychic, the massive restructuring that has been necessary to get him back up to fighting shape has left him largely unable to utilize his powers of Boost Trait, Mind Link, and Telekinesis.

[High Command]

“A cyber-knight, once trained, is, and will always be, a force for good in the world.” That was the line that Sir Barris the Bull said that stuck with Bonn Knight. It was ironic, and the source of some good-natured teasing, that his last name was his chosen profession - a throw-back to pre-technology days one history minded peer quipped. Still, Bonn was good at it. He joined the fight in Tolkeen and even fought against the Daemonix and those on Tolkeen’s side doing atrocities. He even saved a squad of CS soldiers from certain death by a daemonix and they actually pitched in some money towards his bionic rebuild. It was done in the ‘burbs of New Chilicothe. Since his recovery, he’s gotten back out there, helping people, fighting demons and evil people using their powers to hurt the defenseless. He’s hooked up with the Tomorrow Legion, who recognize him from his time in Tolkeen.

He's still coping with the loss of his psionic potential. He catches himself often trying to will his psi-blade into existence or use one of hgis powers reflexively. They fail an overwhelming majority of the time. Still he lives by the Code of the Cyber-Knight and the precepts of loyalty above all.

  Obey the laws if they do not supersede the rights of life.

4. Valor

• Exhibit courage in word and deed.
  Defend the weak and innocent.
  Fight for an ideal, like freedom.
  Fight with honor.
  Avenge the wronged.
  Never abandon a friend, ally, or noble cause.

5. Honor

• Always keep one's word of honor.
  Always maintain one's principles.
  Never betray a confidence or comrade.
  Avoid deception.
  Respect life. Honor all life.
  Respect all views of life.

6. Courtesy
