There we go, I've dug up the sheet from last time

Spoiler: Stat Sheet (click to show/hide)

Race:
Gender: N/A?

Skills:
Gadget making/repair (mundane) (small devices: trap components and other espionage stuff for the most part)
Stealth (+/-4)
Unarmed combat (+/-4)
Improvised weapons / environmental combat (+/-2)
Sabotage (+/-2) (A bit of a catch-all for breaking-and-entering, setting traps, rigging mechanisms to misbehave, etc. Might be broken up if needed)
Hacking (+/-2)
There are rumors of horrific results when H is asked to prepare food. Whether true, who knows?

Weapons/Equipment: (Suit stuff)

Spoiler: Loresheet (click to show/hide)

Name: H

Physical Age: Unknown. First unambiguously recorded appearance around 35 years ago, though many unverified sightings exist far previously.

Race: Unknown. H appears to wear a white pressure suit at all times, though it could be the outer softskin of a robot. The suit looks human-shaped, judging by
the profile and hands, though H has been observed moving in ways that would be difficult or impossible for a human.

Description: No one really knows who or what H is, much less what H thinks or wants. H is a fairly obscure figure, but the ones who know know only 2 things of H: H never speaks, and H seems willing to do anything, at least for the right price. People find H, standing around wherever travelers may gather, doing nothing in particular, and ask for a job, making an offer. If the offer is sufficient, H performs the task with uncompromising efficiency. If not, H simply ignores it. No one knows what H does with the money, though some suggest it might all be hoarded in some hidden place or secret account.

Due to the often clandestine contracts, little is known of H's methods, but there are rumors of latching onto the outside of ships, undetected through several security scans, ships arriving at their destination full of asphyxiated corpses, and ruthless, brutal efficiency in melee combat, combat augs being ambushed and beaten to a bloody pulp with their own helmets.

Name: Ferrite
Race: Iron
Gender: N/A

Skills:
Engineering (+/- 3)
Explosives (+/- 3)
Hand to Hand Combat (+/- 2)
Programming (+/- 2)
VERY unskilled in stealth, due to him being a bloody rock. (Negative modifier)

Weapons/Equipment:
Comically small construction hard-hat askew on his head (+/- 1 to resisting damage from the environment)
Two large hammers, re-purposed from innocent civilian tools into weapons (+/- 3)

Augments/bioaugments: Ferrite was fitted with a Civilian Grade CZX 75.4, an augment to the ocular organs which allows the user to more easily and more rapidly detect damage to an environment, and environmental danger to the user. (+/- 4 observation when it comes to seeing damage or an environmental threat)

Anything that's a more or less permanent status thing goes here: Ferrite has terrible balance, and is prone to trip if he attempts to move swiftly (- 2 Balance). Ferrite can also mildly shift parts of his body around to fit through smaller holes. Ferrite's skin is made of iron, providing incredible physical protection (+/- 4 to defensive rolls). Ferrite is rather large and bulky, providing him decent physical power (+/- 2 to the power of attack rolls)

Misc items: A bunch of random tools stuck in small orifices on Ferrite's surface which he has clearly forgotten about. He also carries a small plush earth-rabbit toy, because he finds himself able to amuse himself easily with it.

Status: Nothing yet

Spoiler: Lore Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Ferrite

Physical age: 463 Years and approximately 15 Days

Race: Iron

Description: As a member of the Iron species, Ferrite is a large hulking mass of raw metal. He originated on the planet Sigma X65U 4, like many of his brethren, although other Iron colonies have been established. Ferrite has seen several battles in his time, but has actually won few of them. He has various chips and burn marks over his rocky skin. It is evident he has tried to repair himself to no avail. Mentally, Ferrite is rather intelligent, having lived several hundred years. However, while he can create brilliant plans, his mind processes this slowly. He also has difficulty expressing himself as his "fingers" are more closely associated with chunks of rock than actual digits. Ferrite can speak, but the noise emitted from him is difficult to understand. Despite this, he can still get a message across; it just might take several tries.

Ferrite has mostly made his living as a ship engineer, but never stays on a ship too long as he usually ends up killing a crew member, either accidentally or intentionally.

Totally not the same as Ferrous.

Nope, I actually re-did everything

[~Neri]

I'd say the hammers themselves would be a +/-3 Notably, attacks have two stages. Attempting to hit and the actual damage done. Boni affect the attempting to hit. If hit, damage based on the weapon itself is done after armor and shield is calculated. Aka, no absurd critical hits damagewise with factory standard pistols resulting in an arm getting blown off. Rather the critical hit aimwise would be "How vital of a spot did I hit?"

Spoiler: Lore Sheet, Karina Jackson (click to show/hide)

Name: Karina Jackson

Physical age: 15

Race: Human

Description: Karina is a slight young woman with a mess of light brown hair and soft blue grey eyes. She is quiet and withdrawn, or, rather, detached, split away from the world. She is of an above average height. She looks soft and gentle, quiet-spoken, but there is a fierce wild look in her face too. She likes things to be the right way. Lined up. How she put them. She is quick and creative, but not well educated in the modern world. She is stubborn, and both fearful and prone to great bravery. She is from a backwards backwater planet and offers no real recollection of how she got off it, or how she appeared here.

Over the years, many children on Karina's home planet grew up to become shamans. Often in the same family as their shamanic mother or father, sometimes taken away from where they were born. On a world where technology was somewhat in retreat, the low-level magic and generational knowledge the shamans possessed were important in keeping people well, and keeping evil at bay – and on a world of perpetual winter, evil was all about.

Karina was one such child, showing potential in the minor magics that shaman perform and spirited away from the warmth of home at an early age. But something was not quite right. She progressed too quickly. Her power was not so minor. Worse, her power was not always her own.

Her mentor shaman loved her like a daughter, and tried to protect her, but there is a limit to what one can hide. Eventually though, he found the solution – he could imprison the evil spirit that was controlling Karina's powers in an amulet, which she would wear, and therefore not lose her power, but keep the evil away from her mind. But the ritual to do so was traumatic, and perhaps wrongly conceived, or naively. He ended up dead; she covered in blood and hunted across the wilderness. In a neverending blizzard she found refuge in the cold ruins of another time. She'd had enough and hoped to die, and as her adopted tribesmen closed in with torches burning and spear pointing, she hoped she'd die quickly.

The next thing she knew, that world had disappeared.

She's not sure if this one is real.

I'll put up a sheet. This looks very very fun :3

Edit: Here it is new and improved. I guess it's mostly different. Mostly.

Thanks for the commentary Kevak! Hope this is better suited to your game.

Note: I balanced this character based on the example character.

Spoiler: Raiorei (click to show/hide)

Name: Raiorei
Race: Human (heavily modified.)
Gender: Male

Skills:
Marksmanship: +3/ -2
Stealth: +3/ -2
Acrobatics and speedy maneuvering: (mundane)
Martial arts/melee combat: +3/-2
Handling weapons of all forms and classifications: (mundane)


Weapons/Equipment:

92FS Samurai Edge Wesker variant.

Muddied AK-47 with a couple spare magazines.

Boot knife

Punch dagger

L83A1 smoke grenade

Medium sized shotel

Augments/bioaugments:

Super Human!: Raiorei is a stronger, faster and all around better than a regular human, this is due to genetic engineering. He is also known to withstand blows that should kill humans. He isn’t immortal though. Read lore sheet for details. +/- 3 to strength/endurance and reaction speed.

Extra sensory: Raiorei has the ability to receive a larger range of information than a regular human. +/- 4 to perception. Details in lore.

Restoration mode: this bioaugment allows Raiorei to quickly regenerate any physical damage; however, this power isn’t free. Read lore sheet for details.

Bone needle/poison glands: Raiorei can draw a small needle from his mouth that regrows upon use. Raiorei additionally can create a toxin from glands in his mouth, he can vary the concentration for varied effects.

Exceed regular strength: Raiorei can push himself beyond normal strength, next strength test is mundane, afterwards any strength test is made at -8 until after Raiorei enters restoration mode.

Quick learner: +/- 2 to actions that Raiorei recently witnessed someone else preform.

Copy action: Able to replicate motions made by humanoids (mundane). For example watching someone type a password would enable Raiorei to replicate it. Note this does not give a Raiorei an understanding of the motions: if he witnesses a master martial artist fight he won't make him a master martial artist.

Misc items:
A glass chess piece (bishop).

Mud smeared on body
Wound to the frontal cortex (perceptually blind)
Left arm shredded (hanging by muscles, bone broken) by a large caliber gun shot.

Name: Raiorei
Physical age: 19 (actual age: 4 and half)
Race: Human male
Description: Raiorei has longish black; silver eyes; pale, skinny but muscled, flesh and a scar in the shape of an inverted scar (this scar doesn't heal though others do) that runs down his chest to his lower torso.

Raiorei is the product of a nobleman's ambitions to create a supreme breed of human assassin in order to cement and perhaps expand his estate on the neo-feudalistic world named (and aptly so) Schrecklicher. Raiorei was proceeded by a number of experiments each one armed with more and more bio-augmentations and behavioral features.

Raiorei was designed as the ultimate guerilla. His brain has been altered to facilitate quick understanding of machinery, weaponry and environments through augments that boost his capability to reason spatially. His vision incorporates night vision, thermal sensitivity, sensitivity to some IR and UV frequencies a form of cognitive filtering allowing his eyes to adjust to highly bright environments and other extremes and his brain is aware of magnetic fields that he is under the influence of. He has an extremely developed cerebellum that enables him to reproduce the movements of other humans even by merely observing their tendons through skin (I don't mean to imply that he can see through skin). Additionally like all badass assassins he is immune to basically all poisons, greatly boosted immune system, has a greater temperature threshold and has a different sense of pain that triggers reactions yet doesn't impede his cognition.

His body functions are more autonomous than a regular human making greater use of interneurons to regulate vital bodily processes in absence of the brain. This allows him to suffer wounds to what would be vital organs without dying, the exception to this is the heart and decapitation; however, his heart has a process to restart itself facilitated by interneurons. He can sustain damage to his brain (which is of a different consistency; less prone to pouring out like soup) excluding the very center of his brain. If this occurs he will lose the functions that correspond to the part of the brain that is damaged/missing. If he loses the front (frontal cortex) of his brain he will suffer perceptual blindness, if it's the right side of the brain he will lose motor function in the left side of the body (vice versa), if it's the back most bottom he will be unable to regulate typical motor functions (like walking) without extreme concentration. Raiorei can also maximize the use of his muscles for extreme bursts of strength; however, doing so will damage his muscles.

Raiorei has a special restorative bodily function which he can choose to activate. When activated he loses all social functionality and begins to consume whatever is needed (in whatever form, sometimes things that are typically food) to restore his body. His body heats up and his blood pressure increases from the use of his blood stream to rapidly transport material. After consuming all that he needs he will promptly fall asleep, sometimes for as long as a day. Raiorei also has another feature, after becoming familiar with a toxin Raiorei can recreate it from pores in his mouth his upperjaw also grows a very small bone needle that he can pull out and combine with any poison to create a poison needle to prick his foes with.

The noble that ordered the creation of Raiorei understood the potential of his creation and decided to design the mission that respected this potential. Raiorei was tasked with the murder of the highest king of the land. He was send in without any education (his body was as mature as a 17 old's although his actual age was 9 months) weapons or even clothing. He spent a year stalking wandering humans observing them. After learning some he spent the next year in a village, which after a moderately embarrassing initial attempt to fit in he was able to learn the language and social functions that would later enable him to carry out his objective.

He spent the next 4 months pretending to be a painter, painting (repeatedly) the king's fortress home. During this time he studied the security and layout and then one day he accomplished his mission. The king died.

Pleased with his creation the noble sent Raiorei on more missions each seeming to get more and more dull. Eventually Raiorei ventured out leaving his master and began hunting exotic animals and just about whatever he deemed a challenge. This did not distress the noble too much who had perceived Raiorei as a son, he did however replace Raiorei with another bio-engineered assassin.

Raiorei judged this new assassin to be worth hunting however the new assassin had been warned of Raiorei's existence and dispatched Raiorei shooting him through the head and arm with a large caliber weapon. Raiorei however survived and left the world of Schrecklicher vowing to return to once again hunt his replacement.

Name: Raiorei
Race: Human (an evolution of humans)
Gender: Male

Skills:
Marksmanship: +3/ -2
Stealth: +3/ -2
Acrobatics and speedy maneuvering: (mundane)
Martial arts/melee combat: +3/-2
Handling weapons of all forms and classifications: (mundane)
Messing up other peoples’ good ideas: +4 (passively applied)

Weapons/Equipment:

92FS Samurai Edge Wesker variant. This is the only weapon Raiorei consistently keeps around him.

Augments/bioaugments:

Namens Auge: this is a race trait of Raiorei’s family line. When Raiorei sustains notable damage his eye changes and bares a circular runic name. This grants him a +/- 2 on his next turns actions.

Super Human!: Raiorei is a bit stronger, faster and all around better than a regular human, this is due to evolution and shit. He is also known to withstand blows that should kill humans and attempt normal living with holes all throughout his body. He isn’t immortal though.

Restoration mode: this bioaugment allows Raiorei to quickly regenerate any physical damage; however, this power isn’t free, Raiorei must be consuming a large amount of food to activate it and will be unable to make any other actions. The use of this augment will also heat up Raiorei’s body due to the high amount of material being transported quickly through his blood stream.

Malus Arms catalog v134.2 400,00,003 page edition: This neural implant allows Raiorei the ability to browse and order Malus Arms weaponry and replica weaponry from his brain, best part is that they have a 30 second teleportation delivery policy (no returns though)! Raiorei told them he’d pay them back eventually; large sums of money/valuables around Raiorei are known to suddenly teleport to Malus Arms HQ presumably as payment for the careless use Raiorei makes of their services.

Misc items:
A little piece of cloth tying his 92fs Samurai Edge to his body.

Name: Raiorei
Physical age: ~20 Raiorei doesn't really keep track.
Race: Human male
Description: Raiorei has longish black; silver eyes; pale, skinny, muscled flesh and a scar in the shape of an inverted scar that runs down his chest to his lower torso.

Lately Raiorei has been trying to recall his past. He seems to have recently suffered a brain injury, after healing a brain injury Raiorei tends to be scattered for a week or two.

All he can remember is being part of a circus act, browsing a museum on the history of Orthodoxy in the city of Petersburg and... Something about a mass cult suicide. Nothing else has come back yet.

You'll have to ask him about it when he finally settles a bit and, well, gets his arms back.

Messing up other peoples’ good ideas: +4 (passively applied)

Why in the world would this be a good idea? No.

Restoration mode: this bioaugment allows Raiorei to quickly regenerate any physical damage; however, this power isn’t free, Raiorei must be consuming a large amount of food to activate it and will be unable to make any other actions. The use of this augment will also heat up Raiorei’s body due to the high amount of material being transported quickly through his blood stream.

Ya won't just be needing food. You'll be needing (relatively) massive amounts of various materials as well. The previously stated durability doesn't come from natural biological materials. Evolution takes the path of least resistance, not the path of armoring cause why not. Odds are is both the durability and the healing are genetically engineered.

Gonna veto this. 'Teleportation' is more or less restricted to psions literally breaking spacetime. Most FTL outside of Gateways and Jaunt Drives are also relegated to toptier psions. On top of that, what is functionally a hammerspace weapon storage isn't really balanced in the slightest. Sooooo no to that.

[Happy Demon]

Heh, Raiorei reminds me of what the Strongarms and Goliaths originally were. Heck, I was originally going to call the Goliaths, Armstrongs.
Somewhere along the way, I went for the more rough and bulky look, but I think I kept the nanomachines reference.
I'm not one for creativity.

[WunderKatze]

Fair enough.

 I see by "semi-serious" your leaning more on the serious side than not.

No spacetime inconsistencies? Don't worry I'll make sure information (physical information, referring to objects) travels at sub light speeds in my upcoming changes.

Expect more or less a complete design. I think I'll keep the name and appearance, otherwise I'll start fresh.

Edit: Also by the way, evolution does not always take the path of least resistance. There's a cognitive element to it and I'm not referencing creatures modifying their own genes through genetic engineering.

It's why crows (corvids) are so good at evolving.

[~Neri]

No spacetime inconsistencies without a measurable force triggering it. Normally psions. Information and objects Can travel at FTL speeds with certain mechanical tech, however it's very expensive (Lotta exotic matter needed for fuel, stuff's super expensive from a power standpoint to make) compared to the much easier to breed and control psions (Who often have crippling mental problems and varied forms of neurosis.) Sure a planet or two might fall out of existence during the initial breeding process, but once you have a stable genome with a neurosis that makes the psion in question easy to control, you've got yourself an entire family tree of living FTL drives if you happen to have gotten a type that manipulates spacetime.

[_DivideByZero_]

What if it's an organization of Psions that teleports things?

[Happy Demon]

What if it's an organization of Psions that teleports things?

Oh hey, it's DbZ.

I think at that point, they should set up a Psi-teleportation-network. As that would take a lot of psions.
Charge people for instant transportation, and rake in the cash. Because you can't really compete with instant surface to orbit travel.
Of course there's the fact that you're basically making a huge cluster of lunatics, some of whom are less stable than an Eversor assassin. But no plan is perfect.
Just send in some janitors to clean up the blood either for when they go nuts, or their heads explode.

[~Neri]

Long range precision is not the strongsuit of psions. The larger the scale, the wider the zone affected. Especially with psi amps, which is the only 'safe' way to do largescale effects.
