Character Name: Ronan Deshe Call-sign: Spade, Rook Race: Arismal (Aliens Unlimited p.100-101) Tier & Power Category: Tier 1 Rank: 3rd Lieutenant, Arismal Defense Forces Military Occupational Specialty:Special Operations Alignment: Aberrant XP Level: 7 XP Points: 51,940 (Updated by Dice Lord 01FEB23) Next Level @ XP: 51,001 Reason for coming to Earth: Drop pod in a freak accident; now stuck. Familiarity with Earth: Limited outside the surrounding area of Merctown, though not Merctown itself. Sentiments/Coalition: They leveled his garage in Merctown which resulted in a lot of cat and mouse... Ronan doesn't like the CS. Sentiments/Non-Humans: Not xenophobic and will work with other 'alien' races. Disposition: Ronan has a sense of sarcastic humor about anything, will quickly revert to jokes about violence or strength when taunting or taunted. The feeling of inflicting damage or being hurt helps him cope with the feelings of isolation and frustration of being ripped away from his home. He falls into his military training when it comes to threats and is no stranger to brutally interrogating a prisoner. He generally doesn't approve of unnecessary death or violence, and tries talking people down before fighting anyone. He also has no problem killing an PoW to prove a point to another one. He will rarely, if ever, taunt anyone based on his own capabilities as he prefers to keep them hidden until the moment they matter. Insanity:
Obsessed with rifts and dimensional travel due to his desire to return to his home dimension and determine his teammates' whereabouts or survival.
Death Wish--has accepted he will only be truly at peace again when he is dead (subconsciously motivated to very risky behavior & acts of potential self sacrifice not out of bravery, but because he feels undeserving of life; survivor's guilt).

Radar (Minor, HU2, PG 236)
Purchased via EP in this transaction
The radar super ability sends out high-frequency radio waves which bounce off objects, returning and indicating the direction and distance of the reflecting objects. This power provides the superbeing with a crude type of see in the dark ability, enabling him to know/sense the location of objects and movement.
Range: 900 feet (274.32 m) (+100 ft (30.5m)/Lvl) Abilities Include:
Interpreting Shapes: 79% (+5%)
Estimating Distance: 84% (+4%)
Estimating Direction: 84% +4% (+4%)
Estimating Speed: 64% +4% (+4%)
Estimating exact location: 74% (+4%)
Bonuses: +4 on initiative. +2 to parry and dodge. +2 to strike. One additional attack per melee. No minuses apply when blinded or in darkness. Note: Radar does not go through cloth, wood, glass, metal, or people. Consequently, the character cannot see or sense through walls or doors. Likewise, while he may sense a car, esti-mate its speed, direction, and distance, he cannot tell how many people are inside the vehicle. This ability is especially useful in the dark, long distances, and combat (providing relatively full view of the combat area). Disadvantages: Radar is totally fouled in the rain, snow, dust or sandstorms, and by similar obscuring conditions. No bonuses apply under these conditions, including no additional attacks per melee. If these conditions exist at night/dark or while blinded, the radar is ineffective, and the character is blind and suffers all the penalties that usually apply. Smoke and fog also foul radar, but not as severely as the aforementioned conditions. All the abilities to estimate speed, di¬rection, distance, shape and location are -30%. All bonuses are reduced by half.
Bio-Aura (Minor, PU3, Pg8 )
Purchased via EP in this transaction
The Bio-Aura protects and affects the character's equipment and clothing from his other super abilities.
Thus, if the character can Alter Physical Structure: Fire (or Matter Expulsion: Silver), his clothing, gun, and gear will not be incinerated when he transforms.
If he can grow or shrink, so will his clothing and gear. Likewise, a character capable of shape shifting will not change out of his clothing, and his clothing or body armor changes (stretches, expands, transforms) with the character, maintaining its protective properties.
In some cases, the clothing and gear seem to vanish when he takes on his Alter Physical Structure (Le., not visible when he turns to rock, or fire, or water, etc.), but really are still there.
The armor's S.D.C. and A.R. remain unchanged, but the clothing or armor also takes on the same super-powered traits as the character, so if the character is impervious to fire and heat, the clothing or armor is too.
Simple weapons and tools also take on the traits of the character. As a result, a sword would grow to match the new giant-size hero (The giant weapon does only 1D6 extra damage, and a shrunken weapon does 1D6 less damage). Note: Personal items such as clothing, wedding ring, necklace, watch, wallet, glasses, etc., are affected and protected by the ability, but there is a limit to the amount of armor, weapons and equipment - restricting the character to just 100 lbs (45 kg) worth of total clothing and gear. Also note that any item(s) that are dropped or thrown by the character, instantly lose all the Bio-Aura's protective properties and return to their normal state of being. Complex weapons and equipment, like firearms, energy weapons, electronics and mechanical devices do NOT change with the super being, but neither are they harmed by a transformation. Range: Self.
Sonic Speed (HU2, Pg 289
The power to run at supersonic speeds. This means the character can run at the speed of sound, Mach One, or approximately 670 mph (1072 km/h). That is roughly one mile (1.6 km) every five seconds and 11.6 miles (18.6 km) per minute.
In addition to running at incredible speed, the character has sharper vision, quicker reactions and greater dexterity than normal humans. Despite what one might think, superspeed in hand to hand combat requires a comparatively slower, more measured, and controlled pace, but the results are still devastating.
:
+1 melee attack/action per round (15 seconds) at levels 1, 3, 6,9 and 12.
1d4*10+20 for existing MDC as per Blackhaunt
Add 1D6 to P.E. attribute.
+6 on initiative.
+ 1 to strike.
+3 to parry.
+4 to automatic dodge against hand to hand combat and combat using melee weapons (sword, axe, club, etc.). An Automatic Dodge means the act of dodging does not use up a melee attack or action. Dodging bullets, energy blasts, projectiles and thrown objects can be attempted, but without benefit of any dodge bonuses; unmodified dice roll only (it's difficult even for a super-fast character to dodge these fast moving, long-range and often silent, or quiet, attacks).
+6 to roll with punch, fall or impact.
+ 1 to pull punch at levels 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 14.
Normal Punch - 1D6 damage.
Fast Punch or Kick -2D6
Super-Fast Punch -4D6 damage.
Super-Fast Kick -5D6 damage.
Super-Fast "Power" Punch or Kick - 1D6x10, but counts ae two attacks.
Body block/ram at 400 mph (640 km) or greater does 2D4x10 damage, plus humanoid opponents weighing under 400 pounds (180 kg) are knocked off their feet and tumble for 2D6 yards/meters, and causes them to lose initiative and two melee attacks/actions.
Note: Unfortunately, the speeding super-being also takes 5D6 damage, himself, and the attack counts as three melee actions/attacks.
Leaping Ability (with a running start) -60 feet (18.3 m) high or 100 feet (30.5 m) lengthwise.
Swimming Ability (applicable only if the swim skill is known): Maximum speed is 300 mph (258 knots); can dive 300 feet (91.5 m) and has a maximum depth tolerance of 350 feet (107 m).
Can go from zero to 700 mph (1126 km/h) in four seconds (roughly one melee action) but such acceleration causes a small sonic boom punctuating his departure (unwise for stealth).
Running at superspeed is relatively quiet compared to the roar of a jet engine or race car, but the patter of feet on the ground and the air displacement makes a loud sound of rushing air like the roar of hurricane or tornado winds. Furthermore, a quick take off creates a sonic boom. The wind caused by the superspeed will also whip up clouds of dust and send paper and similar light items whirling in the air as the character runs by or comes to a sudden stop. Running under 100 mph (160 km) is considered quiet; a soft wind sound. Can stop on a dime and make sharp turns.
Superior vision about five times better than normal humans, which means an 18 inch sign can be read a mile away.
Nightvision: 500 feet (152.4 m). Note: The acts of taking off and stopping each count as one melee action.

The brain child of the KLS corporation, this rail gun design is a miniaturized version of the RG-14 Electromagnetic Mass Driver. It's flexibility, efficiency, and relatively light weight make it the most potent man-portable, anti-armor & anti-demon weapon system ever produced. The only drawback is the delay in discharge as the capacitors spool up to release the hypersonic sabot payload. Several cases of these rifles have been released for field testing.

Wilk's PRC-5 Secure Walkie-Talkie
Details
An enhanced walkie-talkie personal radio communications (PRe) system with a special cryptographic package. The unit provides 15 channels, all of which have a secure capability as well as normal scrambling and unscrambled features. For secure communications, a special cryptographic program is loaded into the radio using a standard Wilk's 3000 (or other handheld) computer. Once this program is loaded into the radio, only other radios with the same program are capable of receiving its transmissions.
For another 200 credits the system comes with a microphone and comfortable earpiece headgear for hands-free communications. Other versions of the PRC-5 system include a wristbandstyle radio and a system designed for installation into standard environmental body armor and helmets.
Weight: 1 lb (0.45 kg).
M.D.C.: 2.
Range: 10 miles (16 km).
Battery Life: A rechargeable battery provides 96 hours of continuous operation before needing to be recharged.
Security Note: Due to the sophisticated scrambler program, the Cryptography skill has a penalty of -25% to crack the system's secure
communications feature. Cost: 3 ,000 credits per single unit.
Additional batteries cost 1 ,000 credits, and can be recharged using a portable generator, nuclear power plant or even standard E-Clips.
Language Translator (Portable)
Details
A unique device that is programmed with the nine known languages of the Americas and can hold three additional languages.
12 others can be added with a supplemental language disc.
The amazing device can recognize and monitor up to three different voices and two different languages or dialects.
Level of accuracy is 98.7%, with a three second delay when directed at one individual, but drops to 78% with a six second delay when translating three
speakers simultaneously.
The operator must hold the microphone portion of the translator out toward the individual(s) whose words he wishes to translate. The tiny computer inside the hand-held unit identifies and translates the words, transmitting them to the accompanying head/earphones or can be set to broadcast the words over the speaker in the base of the handle. The earphones can be substituted with a cybernetic headjack. The translator can also be set to translate the operator's words into the language of those he is speaking to with the same level of accuracy and speed. Conversations can be recorded on a one inch audio disk (3 hour capacity, costs about 20 credits each). The unit is about the size of a wireless microphone or a remote control and weighs about a half a pound (0.23 kg).
Computer, Portable
Details
This is a fully functioning computer that is about the size of an opened paperback book or the size of an average human's hands placed together. When closed, the handle can be folded up and the entire unit can easily fit in most jacket pockets. The computer can be powered by a small, rechargeable battery (about 24 hours of life) or plugged into an electrical outlet. A hard copy of text can be printed out on the thermal-paper printer, but a magnifying glass is needed to read the tiny print. The computer can also be plugged into most video and cybernetic systems for use as a video monitor. Removable memory storage can take a variety of forms, including CD-ROMs, micro-ROMs, memory tabs, memstiks, or any of the other amazing information storage options developed during the time before the Rifts.
The display for such small computers might be as simple as a tiny LCD screen, or it might be a miniature holographic projector, or it might simply link into a set of VR goggles or one's cybernetic eyes. Input might be through a keyboard (how low-tech ! ), running a stylus or finger across the screen, voice commands, mental interface (a popular option for cyborgs), etc. Weight: From a few ounces to one pound (0.45 kg).
Features: This is a mega-computer, military style. Solid State Drive. Holographic Display with direct finger input and voice commands. Connected to secure walkie-talkie to send/receive data files. Two batteries for constant use.

Background: HU Milky Way Galaxy The art of being a warrior is to balance the wonder and the terror of being alive.
I was a demolitions expert and shock soldier in the battlefield, and back in the fleet I spent time as a massage therapist for the crew; who knew the demand for such a thing would be so high in the fleet. I also assisted with interrogations when the more mundane means weren’t working. That is what I was, who I was.
Then it was just another routine drop; well, as routine as an ever changing war-zone can be that is. Doing a drop isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, the senses are deafened and the body lurches when the drop vessel releases us; sometimes from orbit, sometimes from 100 ft away, the impact is always the same; a muffled and sudden stop. You hear the loud rasp on the hatch signaling you’re clear to kick the release, blowing open the hatch and stepping out, securing your equipment; two knocks means to come out weapon ready, entry zone is hot.
My squad was dubbed Excelsior Squad by the ground and we always got the Drop and Shock missions with the fleet. Unlike other operation groups, we stayed with the fleet and spearheaded difficult targets; surgical strikes, crippling defenses so the main force can move in or taking down high-value key targets, though we have been tasked with independent operations as well. This was my team, this is what we were good at and we did our jobs well.
During our more independent operations, we’ve been dispatched to respond to many different complicated situations; from rescuing high-valued individuals from behind enemy lines to the rumored intelligence that the Atorians were operating nearby with all manner of incendiary and explosive intentions. Anything that went boom was my speciality of mine. During our raids, Intel is usually right; we don’t really have enough resources for them to be wrong and lose a squad due to negligence. Over the tours together, the flow of missions was getting easier and more routine, perhaps too routine.
It was the last drop that went from routine to extreme in a manner of seconds. Excelsior Squad and the supporting vessel, Invincible, the last Valor-Class Battleship, were orbiting a planet and readying for a drop and shock campaign with other supporting vessels. All of Excelsior was accounted for, loaded and ready to drop. We were going in first, we knew that, the boys on the ground knew that. They knew that the success of this mission could depend on our success; we all felt the tension as the timer clicked down closer to 0. This was one of the worst, or best parts of the missions; the immediate sensation of the plummet and the knowledge that you are plummeting towards a solid surface at any number of varying speeds with the intention of hitting.
I remember shifting and checking my systems within the pod in anticipation and felt my finger trace the weapon secured at my side more than once. I glanced up at the heads-up display in the pod, watching the countdown to drop. Here it comes, 3...2...1.. Drop. The private comm line of Excelsior Squad lit up with the irritating screams of excitement from the squad as the plummet begins; I might’ve been excited and screaming too. Then I heard it; the sound that will forever haunt my dreams.
A crack, so loud it made the deafening plummet seem irrelevant; I thought my pod cracked mid-drop. Then we get the call from the Invincible calling for an immediate abort and emergency course change in the pod’s path, but it was too late. I heard the screams of excitement from my fellow teammates turn to screams of horror within seconds, the life-signs of my team flat-lined mid-drop in blips on my HUD as one by one, each comm-line went dark. Suddenly my pod whip-lashed in such a way that shouldn’t be possible under normal gravity, maybe extreme gravity but there were no anomalies in this area; I heard the hull of the pod creak under duress and then my pod went dark and my own life-sensor blipped as the sheer force of the plummet felt like it was welding me to the pod.
No vision, no hearing, and the senses are completely deafened means that the only thing to do is retreat inside yourself while you wait for your own inevitable outcome. The dark, the twisting and lurching, it felt like it would never cease, the alarms within the pod blaring and deafening your own thoughts. I could do nothing but try to remain as fluid as possible with the rocking to avoid premature death. Then I hear my own life sensor give a flat-line, and suddenly, I felt such an impact, it knocked me out cold.
Miranda, William, John, Quorra, and Reed; You are the finest squad I could’ve asked for and we made the name Excelsior a legend, it would be a freak accident that finally takes us down but I know we’ll see each other again.

Arismal Religion
Pantheon Background:
Faithful to Atlas, direct follower of Inanna
Lords of Cojo(/'kō·jō'/)
On Arismal Prime, the majority of religious practitioners believe in the Lords of Cojo. The Lords consisted of thirteen primary deities, with a growing number of subset deities. Each primary deity was represented on Arismal Prime as a continent.
Altas - Is respected as an allfather who was chief of the gods and assigned the others to their roles: Even the gods who are not his natural children address him as Father, and all the gods rise in his presence.
Zoot - is the wife of Altas in the Arismal's primary pantheon of mythology and religion. Her chief function was as the goddess of women and marriage.
Inanna - is a warrior goddess, known for her ruthlessness in battle and lead the charge against Iblis.
Frigg – is the goddess of rebirth, bringer of spring. This goddess is the promise of renewal personified. She is the third wife to Altas, and Zoot's lover
Xopli/Xopla – The Prince or Princess of Flowers, the spirit of love, this red-skinned god can be perceived as either male, or female, or both. It is said Xopilli binds lovers together with an invisible string.
Radda – Goddess of the skies, the sun, and storms. Raddu wears a wide-brimmed hat which protects her from the sun, and when she removes it, storm winds blow from inside.
Ildana – Goddess of music, poetry, writing, and art. She carries a silver bowl from which it is said that inspiration flows.
Nunnos – The Antlered god, the hunter, and the god of the farm. Nunnos is The Bountiful, god of nature, of farming, and of the hunt.
Volund – The maker. God of the forge and blacksmiths, in recent centuries he has become depicted as a god of technology. He is traditionally depicted as bearing a large hammer, but a Wheel or Gear is also his symbol.
Vinayaka – The goddess of the mind, memory, knowledge and learning. She is sometimes depicted as having the head of a thergal (a small fox-like mammal known for its cleverness), and sometimes with the head of an ureen (a river mammal said to never forget).
Iblis - is the brother of Altas. He is known for trickery and mischief. Iblis is most known for convincing several other Lords of Cojo to try and dethrone Altas. To Iblis dismay, he had lost to the power of Altas, and banished. Note: The continent of Iblis is the least colonized of the continents. It is a very treacherous land, and is the source of many deaths among the Arismal people.
Setis – Lord of Rajat, the red desert, Setis is the god of death, and sorter of the slain. He commands the Morgaine, harpy-like creatures who carry off the souls of the dead. Setis was tricked by Iblis and fought against Altas. It was when Iblis lost, Altas forgave Setis for his transgression.
Tangarat – The Dragon. Tangarata is the serpent of the seas, the physical embodiment of the world ocean. It is said that the continents ride upon his back.
Cojo – An Arismal concept of Heaven, but which is exclusively the dwelling-place of the gods. Those who are righteous in death are said to dwell in the Shade of Cojo, where the Lords may give them favor. Those who are unrighteous in death dwell in the desert of Rajat, where Cojo cannot be seen.
Texts of Cojo - The long lost texts, were discovered in an ancient ruin found on the continent of Altas. The ruins were presumed to be a temple for the goddess Vinayaka. Within the temple there were thousands of texts, written in an ancient Arismal language that no one had practiced for thousands of years. These texts were carefully preserved, and copies were made digitally, a vast majority were lost in the destruction of Arismal Prime

What emotion best describes your character?
Carefree, whimsical
What emotion does your character evoke in others?
Awe, Irritation, Laugher
What does your character need most?
He feels alone in the world, he needs to resolve his death wish.
What is your character’s goal in life?
Ronan's ultimate goal would be to determine the fate of his teammates.
How does your character believe this goal can be accomplished?
He has already made contact with Reed. With the help of Vheld, Ronan hopes to be able to accomplish this by earning the mages' favor.
Background
Where did your character come from?
Ronan is from another dimension and has no problem expressing his alien-nature when he encounters planetary things he's unaccustomed too.
When did you grow up?
On the last Valor-Class Battleship in the Arismal Fleet, the Invincible. He has only set foot on planets as part of wartime operations, never for leisure and certainly not the level that he experiences on Earth. He has never lived away from their recycled air for long.
What values does your character hold?
The only value that matters to the Arismal is ones ability to keep their word. He is no master of the mind, manipulator of magic or poetic diplomat. He is a soldier. If he can't take you at your word, you may as well be an enemy to him.
How does your character dress?
He is always wearing his custom leather biker's jacket with a unique logo embedded in the back. He has leather biker pants and carries two satchels. His eyes are always behind a sophisticated set of goggles which he seldom removes (and never in public/daylight).
What are your character’s means?
Super Powers. Ronan is a Super Powered force of nature. He is nigh indestructible with a matching physical strength and the ability to breach the sound barrier with his running. With the ability to manifest silver and encase himself in a protective layer of armor, Ronan becomes a silver bullet pinging between enemies. For more advanced foes, or allies who have earned his hand, he has the ability to manipulate the very skin and muscle on his target.
Details
What are your character’s personal tastes?
He loves women, redheads in particular. He is a proud omnivore, a lover of steak and chicken; neither of which he experienced much of on Earth. He does know how to cook. He loves working out despite not really needing too and loves kicking back with a beer for a nice game of pool.
What are your character’s opinions?
Live and let live. But don't leave survivors.
What is your character’s comfort zone?
Physical combat, moving. He hates sitting around and waiting.
Who has had the biggest impact on your character’s life?
His teammates. Colonel John Sumner, a powerful psionic and legendary leader. A pathfinder of the arismal, someone who led them out of many problems; a soldier to the core. The best diplomat and peacemaker Ronan's ever seen. His entire team, he is fortunate to have found Reed and now can only hope the others survived.
What are some of your character’s unexpected quirks?
He will always make jokes, playful jabs, random comments that derail or potentially upset enemies; he taunts and trolls. Ronan recognizes his role remains the same with his new team, the bruiser. So he bruises; their egos, their bodies, their equipment. Ronan also taunts his allies but far more playfully than his enemies.
Play Details
What kind of story does your character belong in?
One that allows his powers to shine and exist without overshadowing the team.
What role does your character fill?
Tank. Ronan is the tank. He will go first into battle and go alone. He will give the team time to come up with an actual plan while he takes all the aggro away from them. He will do this for as long as he can.
What should the other players know about your character?
He is a team player, do not be intimidated by his power scale.
What is your play style?
I roleplay my powers more indepthly so that he is not just smash smash smash. He actively uses them in his daily life in normal play for exposure.
How do you want your character to die?
Taking down a god.

Long Term Goals:
Goal 1: Suggested Steps and Solutions (Goal 1): Goal 2: Suggested Steps and Solutions (Goal 2): Goal 3: Suggested Steps and Solutions (Goal 3):
1. Is the character verbose or stoic? Verbose 2. Is the character funny or dour? Funny 3. Is the character a follower or a leader? Follower but can lead 4. How does the character react when under pressure? Like a trained soldier 5. Does the character volunteer for tasks? All the time. He is strong and fast. 6. Is the character friendly? To the character's team, to strangers? Yes and mostly. He is only mean when he has cause to be. 7. Does the character offer mercy? Unless the contract requires a target to die, Ronan will always try to keep them alive. 8. Is the character curious and/or adventurous? Both 9. Is the character prejudiced about anything? Warmongers. Having his homeworld destroyed and being forced to live in space ships by warmongering races, any time he sees a military power exerting dominance over a population, he hates it. Meaning, he hates everything the Coalition stands for. He doesn't care about slavery or torture, though usually only engages in the ladder when required. 10. How does the character react to aliens? Depends on how they look but usually compliments some natural feature. 11. How does the character react when the character is the victim of prejudice? Violently but not brutally. He will quickly put someone in their place. 12. What is the character's passion?
