December 10, 20XX, an unidentified object made collision with the planet. Although damage is reported as minimal, the object has been speculated to be unstable, and several military and research groups have been moved into the area until further notice to study the anomaly. Borders to the area have been closed due to the appearance of the mysterious object, and as such, many riots have begun and the civilian sectors have fallen into chaos. Additionally, several labs believed to have relations to an underground research group, ORACLE, have been uncovered in the area, and mutated individuals have escaped, spreading what is being referred to as ‘decay’. Such individuals are to be avoided at all costs and are considered highly dangerous. Civilians in the area are instructed to stay indoors, and avoid contact with potential threats within the area.

Fluff: Mike is an interesting fellow. He is a dedicated and hard working man, smart and athletic. Many would call him perfect, but few know of his obsession. He is obsessed with stealing. For him there will never be an early retirement. He will plan and run heist after heist until he is caught, dead, or too old.
The obsession started when he was in highschool. On a dare from his friends he stole the answers to a test and got away with it, mainly since he didn't use them himself. That begin to make him more daring, wanting more fun from the heists. He was smart, careful, and made contacts. So far it has only been small, but now that he is out of college and has some fake employment to fool officials it is time for bigger heists.

He was talented, they found - real talented. Enough to make it as a Green Beret, and then go through top-level CIA training. In the short while he had for himself, Oscar had a kid with a woman back home in the states, never saw them again. Never really investigated what happened. For the last ten years, he's been retired due some doctor's bullshit about aging or whatever. Oscar knows it's shit. He's still as strong as ever.

Artyom is a bear of a man, with instincts to match; he'll swallow you in his hairy russian embrace, hold you tender against the snow of the Urals baby, and drown you in a nice warm golden shower of party-approved vodka. In all serious, Artyom is a soldier, an a lover, sometimes both at the same time, beware his charm, for it has sown the fields of many a maiden, just as his exo-suit has filled the tombs of many a grave. He has ample time and experience fighting, as he was a mercenary since the day he turned 18; seven years later, he still fights, now for the rush of adrenaline as much as the cash. A recent contract brought him and several compatriots to "The Zone" as it is called, that being the land around the object. As Artyom heard the far off scream of something entirely inhuman, he felt not fear, but excitement. His suits speakers amplifying his voice as it shook the leaves on the trees around him "Да, настоящая борьба !"

Health: 100

Fluff: Working for the World Government, Pavlov was contracted as a specialized weapons designer having previously earned a reputation working for a large weapons manufacturing firm. His job is to assest the combat effectiveness of troops and equipment on the battlefield in the continuing operation and develop superior weapons, armaments, and technologies that will assist in purging plague, infestation, and contaminated creatures and persons. He develops new technologies from weapons systems, automated turrets and drones, or advanced bio-hazard gear where it is needed.
Although not a scientist himself, he was a graduate of a presitgious Technical University with a minor degree in biology, allowing him to assess the effectiveness of his weapons against the anatomy and physiology of monsters, allowing him to figure out new ways to kill them.

>Fluff:
Probably as durable as he is stoic Private Glasnost received his ironic nickname for getting lost during a wargame in Siberia. Nobody noticed his disappearance until he showed up two weeks later at the camp, looking like an icicle murmuring something about having "enough of this stupid wargame".
While not particularly intelligent and seemingly void of leadership qualities or any emotions beyond disapproval and basic empathy Wiktor is actually a surprisingly capable soldier, able to operate under hazardous conditions, whether they may be physical or psychological.
To the sore disappointment of his comrades the one thing keeping Private Glasnost from being a stereotypical Russian soldier is his refusal to smoke or drink, as he claims this is bad for his health and that he would rather get shot than die from lung cancer.
With an unfavorable tendency to enjoy honest, simple conversation and keeping things out in the open it is unlikely that Wiktor will ever even make it into the ranks of a secretive organization, shadowy special unit or even as far as the rank of Corporal. A trait that doesn't particularly benefit him, but makes him all the more dependable in the eyes of his comrades.

1. I need clothes that will be able to hide my form from prying eyes. With everyone warned to stay inside it shouldn't be hard to break into a place with clothing, maybe a backpack. I'll need something pretty baggy and with a hood.
2. Practice my stealth. Stick to the shadows, avoid lights and cameras and do my best to lighten my footsteps. I gotta stay hidden.

But now, The Man sees this horrible incident as an opportunity! He'll become the local survivors merchant and become rich! So rich!

>Decay: 0
Fluff:
Dr. Jokun got her degree in microbiology from Chulalongkorn University, Kingdom of Thailand, after being expelled just before receiving her Ph.D from Oxford over “ethical concerns” on how she had obtained her thesis data. While she maintained the “human test subject projections section” table was indeed a projection, the ethical board of review took a better-safe-than-sorry tac. Besides, the accelerated clotting worked in animal trials, can’t you people see the potential benefits??
Regardless, Dr. Jokun is one of the best microbiologists in the world, so she’s never had a hard time getting a job in the private sector. When not at work, she enjoys yoga, naginatajutsu, reading Hentai manga (of which she has a considerable collection, and board games. She’s a sagittarius and her favourite drink is a vodkatini when she’s trying to get drunk–other than that, her fridge is always stocked with Mick’s Hard Glacier Berry, a supply she must frequently replenish.)

Fluff: Mike is an interesting fellow. He is a dedicated and hard working man, smart and athletic. Many would call him perfect, but few know of his obsession. He is obsessed with stealing. For him there will never be an early retirement. He will plan and run heist after heist until he is caught, dead, or too old.
The obsession started when he was in highschool. On a dare from his friends he stole the answers to a test and got away with it, mainly since he didn't use them himself. That begin to make him more daring, wanting more fun from the heists. He was smart, careful, and made contacts. So far it has only been small, but now that he is out of college and has some fake employment to fool officials it is time for bigger heists.

He has ample time and experience fighting, as he was a mercenary since the day he turned 18; seven years later, he still fights, now for the rush of adrenaline as much as the cash. A recent contract brought him and several compatriots to "The Zone" as it is called, that being the land around the object.

Level: 1
Health: 100
Wealth: 0
Decay: 0
Fluff: James was never really the type of man who got along well with other people. Most of his coworkers just found him unnerving at best and downright creepy at worst. His stares simply lingered for too long and his way with words left something lacking. Say what you will about the man but James at least had a passion that he found early in his life. One for the pursuit of justice and another for the animals that enabled this pursuit. He threw himself headfirst into his work whenever the opportunity presented itself and his love for animals soon extended to the dogs in the precinct.
It quickly became evident that James just had a way with the K-9 units and they flourished under his care. Injuries to both the dogs and their handlers went down once he joined the unit. Even arrests were up though the majority of them revolved around drug-related crimes. It was simply bad luck that caused this object to strike his home and put any chance of a promotion or raise to rest. Now his goal is to make sure that the dogs are okay in this chaos and to keep his city safe from criminals. A pretty lofty task but one that James feels he is up to.
When he isn't on duty, James is known for being a pretty avid drinker at home and paid subscriber to several anime channels. He hides his weekly tabletop games from his coworkers out of a fear that they would ridicule him. Asides from really nerdy shit, James is a outspoke member of PETA and frequently visits the local zoo.

Everything from clocks and TV remotes to the mini-fridge in the garage (he got the belt for that one). As he got older his interest in things mechanical only grew. Getting a full ride scholarship to MIT was the crowning achievement of his life. Sadly only days after he graduated the collision happened. As rumors of Grand discoveries from the object have floated around it has quickly become an obsession of his to study this alien thing for himself. It has begun to consume his every waking moment.

Probably as durable as he is stoic Private Glasnost received his ironic nickname for getting lost during a wargame in Siberia. Nobody noticed his disappearance until he showed up two weeks later at the camp, looking like an icicle murmuring something about having "enough of this stupid wargame".
While not particularly intelligent and seemingly void of leadership qualities or any emotions beyond disapproval and basic empathy Wiktor is actually a surprisingly capable soldier, able to operate under hazardous conditions, whether they may be physical or psychological.
To the sore disappointment of his comrades the one thing keeping Private Glasnost from being a stereotypical Russian soldier is his refusal to smoke or drink, as he claims this is bad for his health and that he would rather get shot than die from lung cancer.
With an unfavorable tendency to enjoy honest, simple conversation and keeping things out in the open it is unlikely that Wiktor will ever even make it into the ranks of a secretive organization, shadowy special unit or even as far as the rank of Corporal. A trait that doesn't particularly benefit him, but makes him all the more dependable in the eyes of his comrades.

>Role: Soldier
>Level: 1
>Health: 95
>Wealth: 0
>Decay: 0
>Fluff: An inner-city kid who joined the military at the behest of his grandfather, some five-odd years ago. Comstock's knack for keeping cool under pressure and his skill with a submachine gun are contributing factors to his reassignment to patrolling and monitoring the object, in concert with the rest of his platoon. Comstock, however, signed up to get a job, stay out of the ghetto, and get some Korean tail– not stare at an alien object. He's not keen on staying any longer than he has to.
>Inventory:
-Combat Uniform (+5 Combat Mod)
-Standard Pistol (+5 Combat Mod)
-Submachine Gun (+8 Combat Mod)
>Skills:
-Military Grade Weapons Training x1.3
>Bonus/Eccentricities:
-Military Man: Action rolls relating to doing your job gain a +5 mod.
-Get Me Out of Here: Every 3 turns, roll an additional die to see how Vyshaun feels about being stuck in this mess.
1. That was fucked. That was completely fucked. Why would they DO that? Why would they attack armed and ready soldiers? How many were armed?
To the best of his ability, Vyshaun tries piecing together information about the rioter attack. Look over dead bodies, try and get some info out of any survivors or bystanders, check in with his men.
2. Fucked as that was, there's still a job to do, here.
Continue to guard the area and keep a close eye out. +5 Mod.

Name: Sgt. Nick Sheffield
Role: [Officer]
Level: 1
Health: 100
Wealth: 20
Decay: 0
Fluff: Nick Sheffield, depending on who you talk to, is either the best guy you've ever met or a total monster. To his family, he is an upstanding citizen, gift to the community, and generally "nice member of the community" that voluntarily shovels snow and gives generous heaps of candy to children. He has several dogs, all of them corgies.
To the media, leftists, and others, Nick Sheffield is probably the worst cop ever to exist. He's been involved in multiple aggravated assaults, several unexplained murders, and at least one prostitute who accused him of rape – conversely, he accused her of fraudulent advertising. On the job Nick treats his job as something of a wild safari of sexual adventure mixed with petty acts of sadism, masochism, racism, and general abuse. Generally, if he finds if he can get at least two of those into his schedule, he's had a good day.
Inventory:
-Standard Pistol (+5 Combat Mod)
-Police Uniform (+5 Action Mod)
Skills:
-Dirty Fighting x1.5
Bonus/Eccentricities:

1. Nick needs money, so he just sits on a commonly trafficked alley during certain times at night. He takes bribes insofar as anything he can locate – sexual favors, drugs, guns… [Shakedown random club morons] [+10 - Bad Cop]
2. After that, Nick executes an illegal search at the house of a local drug dealer. Naturally the drug dealer doesn't know his rights, so he gets arrested. Nick impounds all of his stuff and pockets the rest. [Raid drug dealer for asset forfeiture items] [+10 - Bad Cop]

Role: Soldier
Level: 1
Health: 100

Decay: 0
Fluff: From Russia with hot fiery love. Artyom is a bear of a man, with instincts to match; he'll swallow you in his hairy russian embrace, hold you tender against the snow of the Urals baby, and drown you in a nice warm golden shower of party-approved vodka. In all serious, Artyom is a soldier, an a lover, sometimes both at the same time, beware his charm, for it has sown the fields of many a maiden, just as his exo-suit has filled the tombs of many a grave. He has ample time and experience fighting, as he was a mercenary since the day he turned 18; seven years later, he still fights, now for the rush of adrenaline as much as the cash. A recent contract brought him and several compatriots to "The Zone" as it is called, that being the land around the object. As Artyom heard the far off scream of something entirely inhuman, he felt not fear, but excitement. His suits speakers amplifying his voice as it shook the leaves on the trees around him "Да, настоящая борьба !"

-Prototype: Your suit is a prototype, and as such, does not have a sustainable power source. Every 3 turns, you must dispose of one of your combat suit batteries. If your combat suit batteries reach 0, your suit will not work until a new battery is retrieved.

1) Taking heed of Pact's message about the danger of the tyrannical military presence in the town, Joseph heads into the nearest hunting store/camping store/military surplus to look at their selection of weapons. Who knows when they might come in handy.

'Veteran' didn't really describe Oscar. Last time he was in the force, they were still being called Shellbacks. Vietnam, Shaba II, Lebanon, the man trekked his way through each one. He was talented, they found - real talented. Enough to make it as a Green Beret, and then go through top-level CIA training. In the short while he had for himself, Oscar had a kid with a woman back home in the states, never saw them again. Never really investigated what happened. For the last ten years, he's been retired due some doctor's bullshit about aging or whatever. Oscar knows it's shit. He's still as strong as ever. And at the least, he knows ways to kill most people would laugh at as impossible. And he's not having any of this shit.

Fluff: Mike is an interesting fellow. He is a dedicated and hard working man, smart and athletic. Many would call him perfect, but few know of his obsession. He is obsessed with stealing. For him there will never be an early retirement. He will plan and run heist after heist until he is caught, dead, or too old.
The obsession started when he was in highschool. On a dare from his friends he stole the answers to a test and got away with it, mainly since he didn't use them himself. That begin to make him more daring, wanting more fun from the heists. He was smart, careful, and made contacts. So far it has only been small, but now that he is out of college and has some fake employment to fool officials it is time for bigger heists.

>Role: Soldier
>Level: 1
>Health: 110
>Wealth: 0
>Decay: 0
>Fluff:
Probably as durable as he is stoic Private Glasnost received his ironic nickname for getting lost during a wargame in Siberia. Nobody noticed his disappearance until he showed up two weeks later at the camp, looking like an icicle murmuring something about having "enough of this stupid wargame".
While not particularly intelligent and seemingly void of leadership qualities or any emotions beyond disapproval and basic empathy Wiktor is actually a surprisingly capable soldier, able to operate under hazardous conditions, whether they may be physical or psychological.
To the sore disappointment of his comrades the one thing keeping Private Glasnost from being a stereotypical Russian soldier is his refusal to smoke or drink, as he claims this is bad for his health and that he would rather get shot than die from lung cancer.
With an unfavorable tendency to enjoy honest, simple conversation and keeping things out in the open it is unlikely that Wiktor will ever even make it into the ranks of a secretive organization, shadowy special unit or even as far as the rank of Corporal. A trait that doesn't particularly benefit him, but makes him all the more dependable in the eyes of his comrades.

-Capable Soldier x1.1
>Bonus/Eccentricities:

1-2. 10% better than the usual soldier as Private Glasnost was he would work hard in order to accomplish the tasks given to him as successfully as possible.
