War isn't pretty, you don't have to be either. You
choose your stuff according to their efficiency,
taking what is best from home and adopting
what's best from your new one.
Agenda
When you first broke free, you joined the russian

were slashing just before. Later, you felt betrayed
by the president Volkov and knew it was time for
you to find a better place to continue the fight.

Description
Life in the wastelands has made your outfit one of
necessity rather than aesthetics. The intermittent
pain from the Occultech nanites in your Regenerative

imposing build, this makes you seem dangerous

Moment of Crisis
As you first wandered about this new world, you
spotted raiders attacking so helpless civilians. You let
the rage boil over you and within a matter of seconds,
the raiders were reduced to ash. The civilians were
less than thankful, however, and you continue to
wander, looking for someone who might accept you
for what you have become.
Quote
“Burn! Just…Burn!”
Description
Small in statue and covered in ripped clothing and a
battered hide vest, you could be confused as a refugee
at first glance. The mismatched bags you carry your
earthly possessions in do little to dissuade from
that. However, the wild depths in your eyes makes
anyone who stares into them nervous. You ricochet
from emotion to emotion, changing without warning.
From quiet slinking to wild aggression, you can flip
the switch, catching many off guard.
Agenda
Retribution. Justice for those who have been wronged.
Punishment for the unjust. These goals are what drives
you on. While there are always people to seek out,
the High Lords did this to you, and thus they have a
special place in your list, the top.

“The biggest threat is the one you underestimate.”
Description
You appreciate being lithe and graceful but have

“needs protecting” category. You are pragmatic and
independent. Your father, a cargo pilot, even ensured
you could fly a plane since gymnasts seldom compete
beyond their mid-twenties.
Agenda
You still have nightmares about the atrocities you
witnessed in the first weeks of the war—atrocities
committed by technodemons, the Race, and even
members of the Russian government willing to ally
with the invaders. You aren’t bloodthirsty but you
understand that Russia may need to meet force with

You are huge, and its hard to tell where

You don't say much when you don't have to.
Partially that's to play to your image as a strong

You made a career out of being a goon, frightening
your foes and taking advantage of their hesitation.
You want to make these invaders afraid—if they
fear then they can be defeated.

Moment of Crisis
It seemed like such a strange thing to trigger a
transfomation. The invaders were coming and you
distributed weapons to those trying to fight without
negotiating the price first. You weren't giving them
away—honest—but there was no point discussing
terms if everyone was going to die anyway. Somehow
that one act changed you.
Quote
“Weapons are just tools. Always choose the correct
tool for the current job.”
Description
You try to play into people's preconceived notions of
what you are. It makes everyone's life easier. You dress
in tailored suits, have a great manicure, and wear a
tie even on a pitched battlefield. Like your favorite
weapons, you prefer to be effective rather than showy.
There are a few signs of your meager beginnings: the
rough scar across your eye and the Bratva prison
tattoo on the back of your hand. You don't try to hide
either—they are part of who you are.
Agenda
You want to make a profit, but there needs to be a
world left to make that profit within At least that's
what you tell people.

Moment of Crisis

centuries, but something about awakened you and
inspired you to change for the better.
Quote
“Listen to me, I've been doing this a long time.”
Description
You are ashamed of the damage your people have
done, and the delight they seem to take in evil acts.
You fold your wings and hide them under your armor,
and file your horns and wear a beret to disguise them.
You wear human fatigues and tactical gear. It just feels
right somehow.
Agenda
You want to help the people you once harmed. Your
own redemption isn't even a consideration for you,
just the mission.
Names
The Sarge. You gave up any other name when you
became an Aspirant.
NEW OCCULTECH: DIGAN BANDED

ARMS
• Tech 25; Cost: 3,000 (19); Strength +1 for lifting
and damage only.
Banded arms are an older, obsolete version of the much
stronger Digan arms many modern technodemons
sport. The main drawback to these arms is they are
not compatable with Zan Endoskeleton armor.
