Hindrances and Drawbacks

Loyal (Minor): Batrock is loyal to his friends and allies
Greedy (Minor): The individual is obsessed with wealth and material possessions.
Mutant: Most mutant animals are uncomfortable around humans, and the feeling is mutual. Initial Reactions typically start at Uncooperative, except possibly other GED mutants and physically similar D-Bees.
Near-Human Physiology: Created from Rifts Earth genetic stock, those unfamiliar with the mutant's physiology suffer only a −1 penalty to Healing and cybernetics checks.
Oddly Built: CS mutant animals have long snouts, prick ears, digitigrade "backward" legs, tails, and all manner of physical oddities. Rifts Earth armor and clothing must be custom-tailored at double normal cost. Glitter Boy armor (including the Iconic Framework) and human power armor is not an option.
Overconfident (Major): The hero believes he can do anything.
Restricted Paths: Limitations engineered into GED mutants make arcane magic impossible. They cannot take any Arcane Background using PPE or Iconic Framework including it.
Small (Size -1): Mutant bats are smaller than most humanoids
Wanted (Minor): Mutant animals refusing to return to Coalition society are wanted by the CS and deemed feral. This threat is backed by a standing bounty for their capture

Racial Abilities

Echolocation: Mutant bats can visualize their surroundings through a natural form of sonar and ignore all Illumination penalties.
Bite/Claws: Mutant bats have claws and teeth dealing Str+d4 damage

Edges and Iconic Abilities

AB: Psionics and Extra Power Points
Connections (Armorers): Contacts provide aid or other favors once per session.
Frontiersman: Gain +2 to identify animals, monsters, plants, and weather conditions in the wild . May also substitute Survival for Stealth when stalking a target or trying to avoid a predator while in the great outdoors.
Giant Killer: +1d6 damage vs. creatures Size 2 or larger (3 size up from Size -1).
Improved Trademark Weapon (Custom Anti-Material Rifle): +2 to Shooting total with this specific weapon; +2 Parry while weapon is readied. In addition, when you spend a Benny to reroll any Trait roll made using this weapon, add +2 to the total (stacks with Elan and similar bonuses).
Marksman: Ignore up to 2 points of penalties from Range, Cover, Called Shot, Scale, or Speed; or add +1 to first Athletics (throwing) or Shooting roll. Character may not move or fire greater than RoF 1.
Megafauna Specialist: Dinosaur Hunters gain +2 on Survival rolls involving creatures of Size 4 or greater
Woodsman: +2 to Survival and Stealth in the wilds.

Rules Reference:

Aim: If a character spends her entire turn Aiming a ranged weapon at a particular target and takes no other actions, she can ignore up to 4 points of Range, Cover, Called Shot, Scale, or Speed penalties; or add +2 to her roll. Her attack must be used on the first action of her next turn or the bonus is lost.

Arcane Background (Psionics)
ISP: 15/15 - Recovery: 1/hour
Bennies: 3

Improved Psionic Competency [Boost Trait] (1 ISP) [Novice]

Range: Self
Duration: 5
Trapping: Slowed Time Perception
Effect: This power allows a character to increase the psychic's Traits (attribute or skill). Boosting the character’'s Trait increases the selected Trait one die type, or two with a raise. Additional activations don't stack on a single Trait (take the highest), but may affect different Traits.
Limitations: Aspect, Self Only (2 base ISP, -2 from limitation)
Modifiers:
- Stealth Field (Shroud; +1): Shroud dims and slightly obscures the character so that attacks against her suffer a −1 penalty and she adds +1 to her Stealth rolls.
  Hurry (+1): The character is Hurried. His muscles work more efficiently to propell him forward. One of his Paces is increased by 2. The effects aren’t cumulative.

See Aura and Conceal Aura [Detect/Conceal Arcana] (1 ISP) [Novice]

Range: Self
Duration: 5 (detect); one hour (conceal)
Trapping: Psychic Energy
Effect: Detect arcana allows the recipient of the power to see and detect all supernatural persons, objects, or effects in sight for five rounds. This includes invisible foes, enchantments on people or items, weird science devices, and so on. With a raise, the caster knows the general type of enchantment as well—harmful, obscurement, magic, miracles, etc. Detect arcana also allows a character to ignore up to 4 points of penalties when attacking foes hidden by magical darkness, invisibility, or similar abilities (or all penalties with a raise). Conceal arcana prevents detection of arcane energies on one being or item of Normal Scale for one hour (see the Size Table SWADE page 179). Detect vs. Conceal: Detecting arcana against someone or something that's been concealed is an opposed roll of arcane skills (roll each time it's attempted, but no more than once per turn). If the concealment wins, the character cannot see through the ruse with this casting, but may terminate this instance and try again.
Limitations: Self Only (2 base ISP, -1 from limitation)
Modifiers:
- Area Of Effect (+1/+2): Conceal only. The power affects everything around the character in a sphere the size of a Medium Blast Template for +1 points, or a Large Blast Template for +2.
  Selective (+1): Conceal only. With intense focus, the caster can choose not to affect any or all individual targets within a power’s area of effect (picking all enemies instead of allies in a blast, for example).
  Strong (+1): Conceal only. Detection rolls to see through the concealment are made at −2.

Telekinetic Chains [Entangle] (2 ISP) [Novice]

Range: Smarts (6”)
Duration: Instant
Trapping: A telekinetic force with an appearance like molten glass, possibly arcing with yellow and orange energy.
Effect: Entangle allows the caster to restrain a target with ice, bands of energy, or other vine-like Trappings (Hardness 5). If successful, the target is Entangled. With a raise, he's Bound. Victims may break free on their turn as detailed under Bound & Entangled on page 98 of SWADE.
Modifiers:
- Area Of Effect (+2/+3): For +2 points the power affects everyone in a Medium Blast Template. For +3 points the area of effect is increased to a Large Blast Template.
  Fatigue (+2): Powers that drain or tax an opponent can cause Fatigue. This modifier may be attached to any power that can cause damage or is resisted by the target. If she’s affected by the power in any way, she also suffers Fatigue. This cannot cause Incapacitation, however.
  Glow/Stealth Field (Shroud; +1): Glow gives off soft light of an appropriate color for its Trapping (or caster’s choice). This creates soft light in a Small Blast Template centered on the target, and lasts until the power expires. It subtracts 2 from her Stealth totals and negates 1 point of Illumination penalties for those attacking the glowing character. Shroud dims and slightly obscures the target so that attacks against her suffer a −1 penalty and she adds +1 to her Stealth rolls.
  Hinder (+1): The target is slowed in some way, perhaps due to intense cold, a slippery surface, or even binding matter or energy. His base Pace is reduced by 2 until the power expires. Effects of the modifier aren’t cumulative.
  Range (+1/+2): Double the power’s listed Range for 1 PP, or triple it for +2. This modifier may not be used on powers with a Range of Touch or the Cone Template.
  Selective (+1): With intense focus, the caster can choose not to affect any or all individual targets within a power’s area of effect (picking all enemies instead of allies in a blast, for example).
  Strong (+2): The entangling material is particularly resilient. Rolls to break free are made at −2 and its Hardness increases to 7.

Batrock was trained and equipped by his Coalition Handlers to be the very best at what he was - an infiltrator and sniper meant to get into the most secure places and take down literally anything or anyone in one, maybe two shots. They spent months reconfiguring an experimental anti-material rifle and its attachments for such a small operative took some doing. They'd pushed the mutant with extensive hand to hand training, largely focused on keeping himself away from anything that might hurt him. They taught him how to shoot, how to hack and pick his way past any lock, how to pilot hover vehicles, and even how to sweet talk and lie his way past guards. They taught him how to take down any foe larger than himself, how to track anything in the wild, in any type of terrain, and how to utilize his psionic talents to his advantage. They taught him to be loyal to his team, they encouraged his greed for rewards as a means of controlling him, and even stoked his ego in order to make him fearless.

But they never treated him like a person. They would treat his dogboy teammates like people. Perhaps less than human, but they'd use their gender when referring to them. Batrock they called it. To his face they would tell his handlers, "Tell it to shoot the target." The dogboys, not wanting to break some unwritten rule, also referred to him as an it, or by his designation. He actually grew to prefer being called a number over "it."

He bided his time. Fifth mission out his entire team, minus himself, were taken out when a Rhino Buffalo snuck up on their parked hover patrol car and proceeded to destroy it and the entire team. Batrock killed the Rhino-Buffalo, gathered all the extra gear he could, and traded a nearby community the location of the meat for a hovercycle and an introduction to other local hunters. It didn't take long for him to rack up an impressive kill streak hunting dinosaurs and predatory monsters. He soon had modified his gear to look less Coalition. His rifle was a one off and so lacked the coalition aesthetic. Batrock is officially missing in action, assumed killed in action.

A recent contract netted him a new mobile home, and a new job - cargo hauling. It's even modified just for him. No one calls him it. There aren't any others of his kind, but he'd rather have company. There are some women who are down for the stranger things, but mostly he spends his time drinking sparingly, hunting, or simply exploring what he can now that he is free. Erin Tarn is a hero of his, and he has a rare translated german version of her book, complete with the promotional poster (of a young model that is decidedly not Erin Tarn).
