Special Abilities

• Cyborg Armor: -4 to all Agility-linked non-combat skill rolls and Pace
• Bionic Augmentation: Combat Cyborgs begin with Strength d12+2, Agility d10, and Vigor d12. These traits do not have an attribute maximum.
• Cybernetic Enhancements: ’Borgs have these cybernetic systems—those asterisked (*) are already factored into starting stats and abilities: Adrenal System, Armor Plating (3)*, Audio Package, Bionic Strength Augmentation*, Core Electronics Package, Cyber- Wired Reflexes*, Internal Life Support, Nuclear Power Cell, Optics Package, Reinforced Frame (3)*, Synthetic Organ Replacement* (see page 113).
• Harder than Steel: The full conversion ’Borg's construction provides +6 MDC natural Armor and +3 Toughness, which is the maximum level possible for both cybernetic Armor Plating and Reinforced Frame (see Cybernetic Enhancements, above). These Armor and Toughness bonuses do stack at their full value with any Worn Armor providing MDC Armor, but do not stack with non-MDC Armor.
• High-performance Legs: Full-conversion ’borgs begin with the Fleet-Footed Edge.
• More Machine: ’Borgs add +2 to recover from Shaken and Stunned, ignore one level of Wound modifiers, and possess the Internal Life Support cybernetic enhancement: they have an internal air supply and other systems that make him immune to disease, drowning, as well as poison and grants +4 to resist cold, heat, and radiation; see Hazards in Savage Worlds. Combat Cyborgs only require a fifth of the nutrition of a fully organic person.
• Size 1 (Normal): Combat Cyborgs are big and heavy, gaining +1 Toughness from their Size.
• Upgradeable: ’Borgs start with the Upgradeable Edge.
• Unarmed Combat: Combat Cyborgs deal Str+d4 Mega Damage in unarmed combat and are considered armed.
• All Those Moving Parts: ’Borgs cannot be healed or treated with medicine when they are hurt. Instead they must be repaired. Fixing a cyborg requires the Repair skill—which is used like the Healing skill, only with no Golden Hour.
• Full Conversion: Becoming a Combat Cyborg uses all of a character’s personal Strain ever. They start with only the 6 Strain from the Upgradeable Edge and can only gain more from the Beyond the Limit Edge.
• Gray Matter: Combat Cyborgs only start with two points (instead of the normal five) for attributes and these may only be spent on Smarts and Spirit. Points from Hindrances and Advances may be used to raise any attribute.
• Heavy: Combat Cyborgs are extra- heavy making it difficult to operate Power Armor and vehicles (including Robot Vehicles) not built for them. Unless noted otherwise, Body Armor and Power Armor must be reinforced, doubling purchase and repair costs. Operating a vehicle not refitted for them is done at a −2 to all Trait checks, including firing vehicular weapons.
• Inhuman Appearance: ’Borgs can come across as aloof machines, and suffer −1 to Persuasion rolls when dealing with most beings.
• Loss of Dexterity: A Combat Cyborg’s systems are designed for combat excellence, not delicate work or even common use. The diminishment in the sense of touch is one of the most glaring issues facing those undergoing bionic augmentation. A ’borg suffers −1 to all Agility rolls and linked skills not directly related to combat.
• Malfunctions: Cyborgs are subject to the same potential problems all tech items and gear face (see Technical Difficulties on page 117).
• Shadow of Themselves: ’Borgs don’t choose a race, but may increase an attribute one die type or take an Edge (meeting all requirements) to reflect their original race.
• Spiritually Numb: Combat Cyborgs can’t take Arcane Background Gifted, Magic, Miracles, or Psionics.

I see he is ex CS.
This will be a heroes, heroes type game. So I need to check, he will not be into human supremacism will he? That would not be appropriate as the adventure already has non-humans in it. Though a little RP tension could be enjoyable, you would need to work it out as agreed between Tribe and Pursuit before bringing it into the game.


PS: I do not see a background, so I also need to ask. His "Shamed" is something he did unknowingly at first or do you envision him as psychotic?

[Xavier Crow]

Nope, not a supremacist. He distrusts magic and doesn't want it cast on him. Most of his body was disintegrated by a spell caster. Thats why he was converted.

He defected during The Battle of Tolkeen, for the atrocities he was ordered to commit . After he defected he was taken in by a group of refugees and their kindness turned his heart even further. He then spent years escorting and protecting refugees from the coalition. He no longer feels truly human after he was converted by Coalition without his permission. He felt like he was treated simply as a tool and not valued as a person.

[Xavier Crow]

His shamed was he was ordered to execute d-bee children and their mothers. He followed orders with one of the mother's and then he snapped and took out his commanding officer and the rest of his squad. He still hates himself and has horrible nightmares. The only way he can deal with it is he helped the rest of the mother's and their children escape out of Tolkeen.

Excellent, looks good then.
