And may I ask where you get off correcting people when you have been repeatedly shown to be wanting? You seem to criticize everyone for poor understanding of the rules when you haven't been much better yourself.

Combat skills are 3 points per rank? Dear god... I've been using my DnD-assumption skills too much. There go my cross-class stealth skills. (And all my noncom skills for that matter.)

See re-revised sheet.

[Krylo]

Myst: Dropped strength by 8 and dropped jump to level 2 instead of three in order to make the 5 point discrepency up. Math should be ok now.

Also I think now that I've read the mech building files I might use his personal gear to build him a couple special items with the mecha points major pieces of gear (1 + four minor per thing) gives.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Could someone send me the mech stuff in .doc format cause the other stuff won't open.

[Myst]

Dante: Good job.

Phoenix: just a few minor things. AC doesn't have the base ten, BESM uses the varient for a rolled defense. besides that, good to go.

if there are any other general questions, please let me know.

[Krylo]

I completely redid Holzom and gave him a brother/nemesis as well as better equipment.

He may only use it once per day.
Unique Ability: Holzom can use his nanobot colony to interface with any gun, giving it Accuracy, AP, or extra damage for one energy point per increase. Each point of energy can give either one rank of accuracy, one rank of AP, or add a damage multiplier. Damage multiplier works as follows: 1 point multiplies damage by 1.5, 2 points multiplies damage by 2, three points by 2.5, so on and so forth, increasing the multiplier by .5 per point of energy spent. Only works with technologically based ranged weapons, and can only be used once per hour. Every additional use within the hour resets the timer and doubles energy cost. -1

Bio:
Before the world had fallen Holzom was created by humans to be a war machine with tactical combat skills fed programmed directly into his mind and reactions. An unstoppable juggernaut capable of both receiving and dealing incredible amounts of damage, his kind was to lead their creators to certain victory in all wars. Fortunately, the planet decided that then would be the time that it would wipe away the human plague with devastating results, and Holzom was left dormant, never activated. At least not for years.

A group of techno-zealots known as the brotherhood of steel discovered the ruins of the lab which had created Holzom and his 'brother,' Mercurius, and were able to get the computer systems working again well enough to read the information on the Metallic Assault Lifeform, or M.A.L. for short. Within was information including the 'name' of the prototype, Holzom, as well as his command set, allowing him to be controlled by voice command, including a berserker mode.

Once the head of the priesthood had studied his and his brother's files, he elected to activate Holzom and Mercurius. Holzom had been given a special set of characteristics by one of the scientists working on him, however, in a vain attempt to keep the android from being replicated and used for war. He had been programmed with a conscience added to his AI and personality programming that allowed him to gauge the validity of orders given to him without command sets, and deny them.The command sets, however, over rode personality programming, and, with it, his artificial morality.

Mercurius had no such 'faults'.

The brotherhood used them as guardians and a war force. When people crossed them, the brothers would be sent in to destroy them, and when they wished a place protected he would be ordered, via command, to kill any who came too close. The two did excellently.

Holzom could do nothing about it, because a trick in his programming, meant to keep him from ever breaking free of the commands, deleted the audio file immediately after the command had been registered in his programming. Effectively, he could not learn, and does not know, his own command sets. Only the leader of the zealots, and anyone he tells, does. Mercurius, on the other hand, merely didn't care to break free, in the slightest.

Holzom was eventually required to kill a small child under orders to kill "Any man who enters this area for the next 24 hours," but was able to find a logical loophole. Being left to his own devices with the child he opted, instead, to hide him from the brotherhood and Mercurius. Unfortunately, his parents were not so lucky, and, though Holzom didn't get to them, they were slain for trespassing while looking for their son.

This was the last straw for Holzom and he further twisted the order, in that it had forgotten to mention, specifically, not to kill the brotherhod. Holzom slew them all and continued slaying them until his 24 hours of command were up, after which he fled with the child. Mercurius did not care enough to stop him, and merely watched as his 'brother' killed the brotherhood members, although he did not help either side.

The brotherhood now, however, has ordered Mercurius to hunt Holzom down and bring him back restrained, if possible. If not, he is under orders to kill his brother. There are also other brotherhood squadrons and bounty hunters tracking him.

[Dante]

Equipment:

The Guns of the Saint of Killers

Item of Power - 9 ranks, granting 45 build points

Resembling nothing more than a pair of Desert Eagles, these pistols feel heavy when carried, as though they weighed twice as much as they should. They are always cold to the touch, even in the hottest sun, and if you look into their glossy black surfaces, you might see... something. These weapons are eerie.

They should be.

For these were once wielded by the Saint of Killers himself.

When the Angel of Death gave up his sword to the man who became the Saint of Killers. the Devil melted them down in the last fire that still burned in Hell. From that he forged a pair of Colt Walker revolvers. These weapons would not misfire, nor would their hammers fall on empty barrels. No shot they fired would miss its mark. No wound they gave would be less than fatal.

After the Saint killed God, the architect of his suffering, he rested upon the throne of Heaven, and cast his guns to the earth. Nobody knows where they landed... until Hitomi discovered them.

The Colts take the form of whatever iconizes their users. For Hitomi, they are a pair of black, angular Desert Eagles. She uses them with frightening alacrity, and often mows down hordes of men before they can even blink. In game terms, they are like a minigun, even if they only look like pistols.

And this is not their true power. These weapons grow in strength according to the hatred their user bears. Hers is not deep enough to rival the Saint's. With each and every death she carves her path of damnation with, her guilt deepens, and her hatred of everything - of the people who forced her to violence, of the brotherhood for making her walk her road to perdition, of herself for filing helplessly on - all these combine to intensify the suffering the pistols can deal.

In game terms, they function as a single weapon, even if they look like two pistols. The pistols of the Saint killed as efficiently as the sword of the Angel of Death, which slew the firstborn of all Egypt in a night. Mere cosmetic changes like this are unimportant.

Live My Nightmare

Special Attack 8 (32 - 24 - 3 - 2 - 3 = 2 CP)

As Takie killed people, she absorbed their negative emotions into the phoenix tattoo on her back, turning it from a silvery grey to a flat, dead black. When faced with extraordinary opposition, she can attempt to literally tear their minds and bodies apart with the sheer concentrated hatred and loathing originally meant for her. This ability is extremely taxing, and she cannot use it more than twice a day, but it is horrifically effective.

Bio:
Zafal Takie was once a kind, gentle child, raised in a church that ministered to the people of a faily large town. Though their settlement lay atop the ruins of a vast warehouse of pre-war technology, the people refused to touch them, believing that technology was what caused the Great War. Instead, they turned to the arts of the mind, psionics, and used them toeke out a living in the harsh wastes.

Of course, the Brotherhood of Steel got wind of this find, and they sent emissaries to try and persuade the townsfolk to join their cause. Time and again, they refused. Eventually, the Brotherhood ordered their destruction, both to ggain the technology for themselves, and to wipe out the abomination of humans attempting to emulate the powers of Tech.

They came in their tanks and vertibirds,and they crushed all resistance without mercy. Takie would have died had not her mother covered her sister Talin and herself with her body, so she took the plasma bolt meant for them. For an entire night she lay there, hearing the screams of the dying and the ruthless onslaught of the Brotherhood. Though the townsfolk fought bravely, numbers and firepower were against them, and they were swiftly overwhelmed.

When dawn broke, the Brotherhood began moving out. Talin
pushed her way out from under her mother's body, and picked up a rock to throw at them, railing at them all the way. Takie tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Talin fell back to the earth with her head disintegrated by a plasma blast. The corpse landed on Hitomi, the exposed neck drooling blood from the mostly cauterised blood vessels of the severed neck. Hitomi lay there the entire day before she dared to stir, the blood of her sister and mother pooling around her neck and face, but she dared not move for fear her blood would soon join theirs.

When she looked around, her town was in ruins. Everyone was dead. Everyone but her. And for what? For the sake of some worthless technology? Was it truly worth killing so many for so little?

Overwhelmed by hate and raged and despair, she screamed to the heavens... and the Colt Walkers fell from them, landing in front of her. And as she picked them up, their unnatural weight awkward in her hands, something seemed to snap inside her, and Hitomi felt a warm, delicious glow spread throughout her mind.

She would travel the world. She would find the Brotherhood, wherever they might be.

And this is what she has done for the past few years. Her innate psychic talents, focused by her mother by the psionic circuit tattooed on her back, grew with alarming speed. The guns themselves whispered secrets gleaned from the lives they ahd taken, and she mastered a strange martial art, known as the "gun-kata". Soon she was infamous as the "Crimson Wind", because she dispatched her victims with such speed that the blood of the first still hung in the air by the time the last one fell. She became a mercenary, only taking contracts on criminals and scum she knew to be provably evil, and always, she would donate the bounty to charities and orphanages she would encounter on her lonely road, keeping only what she needed to survive.

And through it all, she has not forgotten that night. And the night after that. And the promise she made.

She would travel the world. She would find the Brotherhood, wherever they might be.

And when she finds them, she will _kill_ them.

Randomness strikes:

The Brotherhood of Steel

The Brotherhood of Steel dedicates itself to the worship of Tech. They believe that the Great War was caused by the improper veneration of Tech, and Tech punished them by scourging the earth. As a result, they have a frenzied, near fanatical devotion to their religion, and they pursue its tenets - the accumulation of Tech, the conversion of others to the worship of Tech, the elimination of those unworthy in Tech's name - with zealous fervour.

What makes the Brotherhood so fearsome is the fact that they have power to back up their preaching. Early in its foundation, they discovered a massive store of advanced weapons, armor, and vehicles. They used this equipment to exterminate and conquer other techno-cults in the area, and expanded their territory, enforcing their rule with bullet and shell. Most of the cowed populace took up their yoke willingly, the incinerated corpses of those who resisted serving as a very convincing argument to convert.

The Brotherhood organizes its fighting men and women into ranks, based on a bastardization of the system used by the Knights Templar. Unproven Brothers are Squires, who follow Knights into battle. They are usually equipped with full tactical armor and an assault rifle, with carying loadouts depending on their role.

Experienced Brothers are called Knights, and being far fewer than the Squires, they are granted the privilege of wearing the T-51b Powered Combat Armor. They are also allowed to choose the more advanced weapons, like grenade launchers and rocket launchers. A Knight is usually the commander of a group of Squires and fills the role of a heavy support warrior.

The elite among the Knights are called the Paladins. They are authorized to carry the rare and deadly energy weapons which the Brotherhood has salvaged from various caches throughout the wastes, and they usually journey in small groups as elite problem-solvers.

Finally, there are the Masters, who are the equivalent of lieutenant-colonels and colonels in a modern army. A Master typically administers a region of subjugated terrain, and he functions like a provincial governor, keeping the population cowed, if not by force, then by fear of force.

The Grand Master himself is the overall leader of the Brotherhood. he is not often seen in public, but rumours claim that when he ventures forth, it is in a giant mecha somehow restored to its prewar glory.
