Are you an angel? Because we don't get many down here.

A 4-Victory Novice Contractor played by MackAndSneeze in Maelstrom

This character is dead. RIP

Things went downhill after my sixth contract. I tried looking for easy ways out, and dug a lot of graves, not just my own. Be suspicious, and remember that real, valuable things aren't just asked for, or given. They're earned.

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each Round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Free Move (0) feet. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 4 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 4). You take a point of Mind damage and suffer a Major Battle Scar that lingers after the Injury is healed, even with proper Stabilization.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

Blood

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar and require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a field surgery kit for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Complete success (Outcome 4+) puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
Failed attempts can be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Any positive Outcome (1+) will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed attempts can be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Battle Scars

Dice penalties from Battle Scars do not stack with Stress

Mute (You cannot speak or scream.)

Missing Foot (Your movement speed is reduced by half.)

Limp (Your movement speed is reduced by half.)

Missing Arm (You are -2 to -4 dice on any rolls to perform Actions which require two hands, depending on the Action. Athletics rolls are made at +1 Difficulty.)

Firecracker Arm You can ignite a string of firecrackers with the flick of your wrist, causing a series of small explosions with various effects depending on the circumstance. After using it, you must consume 500 grams of gunpowder before you can use it again. *Augment from Nathan Hong*

Seconds of Training You fight with the skill and grace of someone far more disciplined and deserving of this prowess. Your unarmed attacks do +2 Weapon Damage instead of -1. *Augment from Nathan Hong*

Phobia of sharp teeth. When you encounter the subject of your phobia, you must roll Self-Control to avoid entering a fight-or-flight response. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to face your fear.

Biography

The First Will and Testament of Klaus Maxwell Locke:

To Mr. Harold Ford, I leave my miniaturized novelty pickling jar, in hopes that it brings back memories of our first meeting in Nebraska.

To Mr. Nathan Hong, I leave the contents of my bedroom closet. Pay special attention to the canvas backpack hanging there, as well as the airtight cooler beside.

To my brother, Luke Oliver Locke, I leave all my worldly possessions and my estate, which includes but is not limited to my apartment, available finances and automobile.

As a final aside, to Mr. Nathan Hong, I would love it if you (and perhaps some of our work friends) could visit the neighbour down the street I told you about. I'm sure she will be inconsolable, and I would love it if you made sure she felt human again after my demise.

That is all. I wish any good luck I still have onto all my beneficiaries.
