| Paired Weapons | This skill is automatic at 7th level hand to hand Expert and Martial Arts, but it can also be taken as a separate skill. The effects are identical (see Combat Terms), but when taken as a skill, only two specific kinds of paired weapons are included. For example, the character may be skilled in paired short swords or paired axes and short sword, but not both (that would require two paired weapons skills). When the skill is acquired under hand to hand, it represents a high level of achievement and any single-handed weapon can be used in a pair. Unlike a separate selection of the skill, high level combatants do not have to specify their paired weapons, they can use any two single-handed weapons. | |

| ABILITIES/ POWERS | DESCRIPTION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Mind and Body are More Attuned | Increases reaction time and alertness. | Super-Soldier Enhancement |
| Uncanny Targeting & Throwing | May fire a weapon or throw from a moving vehicle, strange position, while leaping, or while falling, all without penalty. Can throw items with astonishing accuracy (+2 to strike) at double the range. Items can be thrown at up to two separate targets simultaneously but with no bonus to strike (straight dice roll). | Provides +2 to DGE, A-DGE, or PRY ranged attacks. S-S Enhancement. |
| Danger Sense | The ability to sense immediate personal danger. The warning time is 3 seconds in advance per level of the super being and makes him hyper alert and ready to act or react at a moment’s notice; Cannot be attacked by surprise. This power does not inform him of the nature, source, or direction of the danger, just that he is in imminent danger. | Current warning time: 24 seconds or 1.6 combat melees. |
| Heightened Sense of Awareness | An uncanny awareness of people and events transpiring around him. Manifests as a strange sense of déjà vu and readiness, anticipating events unfolding around him a scant second or two before they happen. Due to this preparedness he doesn’t usually suffer from surprise and gets an automatic dodge against attacks. | S-S enhancement |
| Sensitive Psionic: Telepathy | Read surface thoughts of a subject within 60ft. Send brief directed thought/ message to a subject within 60ft. Two-way telepathic communication with another psychic with Telepathy within 140ft. | I.S.P.: 4 Range: See desc. Save: Standard, must suspect power is being used to save. Duration: 2 min/lev Current: 16 mins |
| Sensitive Psionic: Total Recall | Remember every word read or heard, and everything seen. Blocks of info can be recalled in perfect detail at will for ISP. If no ISP: 1-50% Remembered in detail, 51-80% Details are forgotten but essence/ ideas are clear, 81-00% Only recall most basic concepts. | ISP: 3 Range: Self. Save: None. Duration: Instant. |
| Stunt: Combat Premonition | This is an enhancement of Danger Sense, which is combined with Awareness and Telepathy. Character can determine a threat with more detail than just general danger or sense of déjà vu. Example: Threat plans to throw a grenade, character will know there is danger, a successful perception will allow character to know threat is going to throw a grenade but may not know where or at whom. Once active roll Perception with a +2 bonus every round to find the threat. Number of people in range affects difficulty (1-2 Easy, 3-4 Mod, 5-7 Hard, 8+ Challenge). Success will tell the user the basic idea of the threat, the threat is not in sensory range or the sense was blocked. Exact details known on a success are determined by the GM. | ISP: 4 Range: 60′ Save: Standard, must suspect power is being used to save or Mind Block Duration: Until Danger passes or is neutralized |
| Meditation | A state of deep relaxation and focus to achieve insight and harmony into one’s self and the world around him | add 6 ISP/hour |
| Sensitive Psionic: Object Read | This uncanny ability enables the psychic sensitive to receive impressions and images from an object regarding its use, history and last owner. This is done by holding the object and concentrating on a specific line of thought, or by opening up to a general impression (the latter is always more vague and random). Just as a psychic must open himself to sense evil or magic, he must open himself to the object. If successful, he will receive impressions and/or images revealing bits of information. Base Skills: Impressions: 56%+2% per level; Images: 48%+2% per level; Present: 38%+2% per level. | ISP: 6 Range: Touch. Save: None. Duration: 2d6 mins. |
| Sensitive Psionic: Clairvoyance | Clairvoyance enables the psychic to see or feel glimpses of the possible future. This is achieved through meditation or intense concentration in which the clairvoyant thinks about a particular person, event or place. Add +5% to the base skill if the person involved is a friend or loved one. Clairvoyance is unpredictable and cannot be turned on and off like a light bulb. Sometimes it works (if the roll is under the base skill) and sometimes it does not (when the roll is above the base skill). A failed roll means the psychic received no insight to the future, despite the expenditure of ISP. HU Base Skill: 58%+2% per level of experience. HU 2nd ed. pg306 | ISP: 4 Range: Self. Save: None. Duration: 6d6 melee. |
| Mind Block | This is the ability to completely close or block oneself from all psychic/mental emanations. When intentionally closed to supernatural or psychic forces the character can not sense anything, can not use psychic abilities, nor be influenced by others. A Mind Block will prevent penetration of Telepathy, Empathy, Hypnotic Suggestion, and Empathic Transmission. It can be an invaluable protective mask when dealing with malevolent psychic forces. Adds a bonus of + 1 to save vs all psychic and mental attacks. Note: Mind Block only blocks psionic attacks that affect the psychic’s mind or emotional state (e.g. Telepathy, Empathy, Hypnotic Suggestion, etc.). It offers no protection from magic. | ISP: 4 Range: Self. Save: None. Duration: 10 mins/lev Current: 80 mins |
| Mind Bond | This creates an instant mind link between the Psionic and the victim. When this happens, each will learn EVERYTHING there is to know about the other. This includes all skills, secret identities, phobias, etc. In both cases, the memory is complete for only 3 – 12 hours (roll 3d4). After that, the characters must roll under 15% to recall any particular item. A month later, all memories completely disappear. Players should bear in mind that only the Psionic knows the memories are not permanent, thus the other person would have no reason to make notes or act quickly before the memories fade. Note: Skills and skill bonuses are also temporarily absorbed, meaning that the psychic possesses all of his victim’s skills and skill bonuses (and vice versa). Physical attributes, such as S.D.C. and attribute bonuses gained through physical training, are NOT acquired. Alien or extremely mentally and/or emotionally disturbed minds can permanently impair the Psionic’s own mind as a result of the bond. If bonded with an alien or extremely disturbed person, roll on the following table for a permanent insanity: 01%-40%: No Insanity. 41%-80%: Phobia. 81%-90%: Effective Disorder. 91%-00%: Neurosis. |
ISP: 10 Range: Touch Save: Standard Duration: Special |
| Empathic Transmission | See PG 310 of HU2 | ISP: 6 Range: 60′ Save: Standard Duration: 2d6 min #AT: equal |
| WP Paired Weapons | This skill is automatic at 7th level hand to hand Expert and Martial Arts, but it can also be taken as a separate skill. The effects are identical (see Combat Terms), but when taken as a skill, only two specific kinds of paired weapons are included. For example, the character may be skilled in paired short swords or paired axe and short sword, but not both (that would require two paired weapons skills). When the skill is acquired under hand to hand, it represents a high level of achievement and any single-handed weapon can be used in a pair. Unlike a separate selection of the skill, high level combatants do not have to specify their paired weapons, they can use any two single-handed weapons. | Gained through HTH Martial Arts |

| Simpyr Takedown | 1 | Various | The Takedown is a single shot, large bore rifle that is often used for big game hunting and sniping. Although it can be fired like a normal rifle with no additional support, the recoil will cause characters with Physical Strength scores of 20 or lower to lose their next melee attack. Proper bracing of the weapon with its “gravity boot” anchors it in place and will allow any character to fire it normally without a loss of attacks. The anchors will hold the Takedown steady when resting on any solid surface. Feed: Six rounds per clip, Range: 4,000 feet (1200 m), Weight: 16 pounds (7.6 kg), Length: 54 inches (1.4 m), Damage: 1d6x10 standard rounds, 2d4x10 from large bore microjets or explosive rounds. |
| Microjet Ammunition | 100 | Various | Unlike the exploding bullets, these are true rockets with microjet engines that dramatically increase range and damage. These rounds cannot be silenced and they cannot be safely fired in bursts. Each bullet has a blast radius of 18 inches and will double the range of the weapon. |
| BP Special Grenades | 10 | Weapon Section | BP used Demolitions to boost hand grenades with C-4 plastique. |
| Specialized Equipment | ?? | ?? | Various pieces of equipment, gear, weapons, ammo, etc. will be issued to West on an “as needed” basis from his Sector 10 handler. Equipment will be delivered in standard (UPS/FedEx) packages or he will be given instructions on where and how to procure the equipment. Depending on the equipment he will be allowed to keep for future assignments. If the equipment is highly specialized, then it may have to be returned according to specific instructions that are received with the equipment. |

Character Bio:
Nathaniel Hale West was born July 4th, 1993 to Luther and Fabiola (Saint-Juste) West. He was born in Century Station and grew up in the Lennox neighborhood of Brisby Flats. He is an only child as his parents were affected by the radiation from the Winslow incident. His Father was a U.S. Army clerk at the Military building on the out-skirts of C.S. Both his parents were killed by a new ColorPunk gang when he was in Junior-High. He was luckily taken to The Giving Tree by family friend and young CSPD patrol officer Stanley Allen (Who just happened to be the one who first “arrested” West when he was younger and a “trouble-maker”). Upon graduating High School, he enlisted as an Infantry Soldier.
He was quickly recognized as a potential Elite Soldier, groomed and trained as such. Other “Secret” parts of the Military/Government recognized his recessive genetic abilities (always knew an ambush was coming and was never surprise attacked). He was funneled into Sector and given (unknown to him) experimental genetic engineering to enhance his innate abilities. The experiment was performed on others, but since they lacked the recessive bloodline similar to West, it was a complete failure (Even cloning was tried, but also failed). Unfazed by these failures, Sector assigned West as a “Golem” in Sector 10. He was designated a “point-man” in all the units and missions he was assigned, because of his abilities. He was also trained as an Master Sniper and would often do “solo” missions because of his abilities. Every unit and mission he was assigned was extremely successful, above and beyond the “normal” stats for the work he performed.
After the many “situations” in Century Station he was approached to be re-designated as a “Wraith” and assigned to C.S. He accepted, mainly because he wanted to “return home”, but he also had heard the rumors of ShakeDown aka PVT. Damien Sweetwater, whom he considered a traitor to his country and his old neighborhood (they grew up together in Lennox and The Giving Tree) and PaPa Zombie (He had heard of the atrocities through his Mother, whom immigrated from Haiti) terrorizing his home town and old neighborhood.
He was officially retired (not in the same sense as Prodigal) from the U.S. Army as a Master Sargent and relocated to C.S. He took up residence in The High Tower (modest second floor, corner apartment, North West side of building). He took a part-time job as a fill-in security guard and in-house Detective (above-board employment) with the building and does part-time fill-in security (“Cooler”, paid under the table, side hustle) at The Skull & Rose.
Shortly after taking up residence in The High Tower, he crossed paths with Oakley Hubbard. At first Hubbard thought West might be the next “bad” person in his sights; however, while crazy, he is not stupid and recognized “something” in West that told him that he wasn’t the “bad” person that Hubbard was looking for…
Unofficially he surveils the local gangs, criminals and thugs, reporting all intelligence of Major operations to either his Primary Handler (Code-Name Silent Pirate), in Sector 10, or minor operations to Detective Stanley Allen (Code-Name Babatunde), of the CSPD (The very same). He has also been forced to interact (fight) various members of different ColorPunks and other “local” gangs. They were dumb enough to try and commit various crimes against West. At first, he just “bloodied noses”; however, when some came back for “revenge” or retaliation, he was forced to “defend” himself (he has racked up a bit of a kill count for being “retired”). He has always tried to use restraint when “defending” himself. This is actually a more “black-book” part of his unofficial assignment. He is given “key” targets to be “sidelined”, temporarily or permanently. Elaborate plans are made by him to “accidentally” interact with these key targets (Groups or individuals), then they are “sidelined” when West is “forced” to defend himself. By “sidelining” these targets, certain pivotal activities are stopped, either temporarily or permanently.
West has been given a certain amount of leeway when it comes to dealing with certain “lower echelon” crimes that are well under the radar of Sector 10 or are considered petty crimes by CSPD. He has carte blanche. He is allowed to deal with them as he pleases. For the most part, he “teaches” them a hard lesson. Every once in a while they learn a permanent lesson. His extra-extra-curricular activities have gone on unnoticed for the most part. Every once in a while one of his “lessons” comes to the light of his Sector 10 handler and Sector 10 leadership. He is usually given a verbal reprimand and told not to do it again. Lately, he has been stepping up his lessons, he feels his unofficial work just hasn’t been having much of an effect and he can’t get his leaders to see or understand what he sees every day. He has become borderline vigilant in his efforts. Choosing to “sideline” targets in a permanent fashion over a temporary one when he has the choice and sometimes when he doesn’t.
His apartment looks like a typical modest clean, middle class, bachelor pad; however, it has been secretly modified to suit his unofficial assignment. Hidden compartments, stash holes, pistol holsters, knife holsters, surveillance & radio equipment, armory and various other pieces of useful “black-ops” equipment. When officially working as a Security Guard/In-House Detective, in his building, he carries a standard “Cop-Piece” 9MM, collapsible baton and combat bush knife all on his police-style patrol belt. While “off-duty” he carries a modern Colt .45, in a concealing shoulder holster, he has the extended ammo magazine, with 4 spares. He also has the combat bush knife and baton (both concealed), along with a 4 piece set of throwing knives.
He is not married and has no children that he is aware of. He dates (Heterosexual), but often it is an unknowing cover for some OP, or a one-night-stand for his “needs”.
