Power Package: Gadgeteer
Group Affiliation: Freelance Contract Man
Delta Points: 3
Size: 5
Pace: 9

Smarts: 3d6 Area Knowledge (home city): 2 Gambling: 1 Language (English): 2 Science (metallurgy): 3 Security: 2 Tinkering: 5	Speed: 4d6 Acrobatics: 3 Dodging: 1 Martial Arts (whip): 5 Martial Arts (barehanded): 2 Quick Draw: 3 Stealth: 3

Quirks: Ambidexterous +5, Arrogant -3, Delta, Enemies (5 points worth), Public ID, Unregistered, Vengeful -2, Veteran, Wanted

Tricks: Entangle, Fine Tuning, Knockdown

Gear: Kevlar Vest

Gadget: Cyber Whip - 3" length
Damage: 2d6+5, Quickness 1, Defensive Bonus +2, AP5
When used to throw something: +3 Strength
In rotor extension: +5 to Acrobatics (to avoid falling damage only)
In swirling/shield mode: 10/- armor (works against Blaster damage)
In pole-vaulting mode: +2" of Leaping
As a rope or climbing line: 18' length

Appearance: See picture - the cape is Kevlar. His whip is retractable, and Blacklash can keep it concealed in a compartment in his gauntlet until ready to cybernetically extend it and become battle-ready. Out of costume, Scarlotti has red hair, and favors casual clothing.

Background: Scarlotti graduated with honors from a college after earning his PhD, but soon fell in with the Mafia. An explosion at the laboratory where he was working on more effective bullet-proofing material caused by a rival Family nearly killed him, but he survived and manifested a delta-class talent for building weaponry. He channeled his expertise into building his "cyber-whip," and now works as an independent contractor for whoever can meet his fee. He may or may not be able to build other techno-Gadgets. To date he has only built his Cyber-Whip.

Personality: Scarlotti is a professional, and will always fulfill a contract. He's not suicidal, however, and makes sure he can handle a contract before taking it on. He gets rather impatient with anyone who gets in his way, and while he won't necessarily seek them out later, he isn't adverse to selling his services to someone who also wants to take them out.

Tactics: His cyber-whip gives him a variety of low-level powers. Against a single opponent he will try to entangle. Against multiple opponents he will stick to whipping and/or throwing things (fire hydrants, helicopter propellors, etc.).

Quote: "Someone wants you taken out. The fact that I owe you one is just icing on the cake."

Belladonna (starting character)

Real Name: Narda Ravonna
Power Package: Gadgeteer
Group Affiliation: Independent Contractor
Delta Points: 4
Size: 5
Pace: 9

Smarts: 4d6 Area Knowledge (home city): 2 Bureaucratics: 2 Language (English): 2 Professional (administration): 2 Science (chemistry): 3 Tinkering: 5	Speed: 4d6 Dodging: 4 Driving (personal): 1 Quick Draw: 3 Shooting: 4 Stealth: 3
Spirit: 2d6 Perception: 3 Persuasion (seduction): 2 Scrutinize: 2 Search: 1	Strength: 2d6 Climbing: 1 Swimming: 1 Throwing: 1

Quirks: Alert +3, Beautiful +1, Cautious -3, Delta, Greedy -2, Lucky +3, Secret ID, Squeamish -2, Unregistered

Tricks: Fast Learner, Fine Tuning, New Friend

Gear: Kevlar Vest, Gas Gun

Gadget: Gas Gun: Belladonna is immunized against her own gas. Her gun has 30 points "stored." Basic attack causes everyone in a 1 yard radius to make an opposed Stamina check against the gas' Strength of 1d6 or be Stunned. Each point she uses she may either increase the gas's "Strength" by 1d6 (up to a maximum of 5), or increase the radius by an additional yard (up to 5 yards). The gun has no range. The gas is passed on through both skin contact and respiration - anyone with adequate protection may ignore the attack. Belladonna recovers the 30 points after a standard Maintenance check.

Appearance: See picture.

Background: Ravonna was a chemist and businesswoman working in the perfume industry. Her partners, with connections to the Mafia, tried to oust her when she grew too inquisitive. The resulting explosion would have killed her if she hadn't turned Delta. She was also exposed to the perfume she was working on, a belladonna derivative. and gained an immunity to same. She has since gone underground, leaving her partners to believe she died. However, she strikes back against them, and their Mafia superiors, from the shadows in the guise of "Belladonna."

Personality: Ravonna fights against criminals out of a desire for revenge rather than any real altruistic motive. She is not adverse to commiting robberies to maintain her funds as she constantly upgrades her equipment and chemicals. Still, she wouldn't be adverse to helping heroic Deltas if there was something in it for her in the way of further revenge or money.

Tactics: Belladonna is not a stand-up fighter, and prefers to gas opponents as a surprise attack whenever possible. When confronted with an opponent who could seriously harm her, she'll typically choose the better part of valor.

Quote: "Night-night."

Solo (experienced character)

Real Name: Unknown
Power Package: Shooter
Group Affiliation: Counter-Terrorist
Delta Points: 3
Size: 6
Pace: 10

Smarts: 3d6 Academia (anti-terrorism): 4 Area Knowledge (home city): 2 Criminology: 2 Demolition: 4 Language (English): 2 Medicine: 2 Navigation: 4 Security: 2 Survival (city): 2 Tactics: 5 Weaponsmith: 4	Speed: 5d6 (+5 for initiative) Acrobatics: 2 Dodging: 3 Martial Arts (barehanded): 5 Quick Draw: 4 Shooting: 6 (+5) Speed-Load: 3 Stealth: 4

Quirks: Alert +3, Ambixdextrous +5, Bloodthirsty -2, Crazy -1 (obsessed with killing terrorists), Delta, Enemies -5 (various terrorist organizations), Gear +5 (Teleport Harness, see below), Secret ID, Self-Confident +2, Self-Righteous -2, Sense of Direction +1, Unregistered, Veteran, Voice (hard) +1, Vow (kill terrorists) -4

Tricks: Bull's Eye, Extra Damage, Fast Move, Make an Impression, Pierce Armor

Gear: Kevlar, small knife, Colt 2000 (x2), Colt M16A2, Ingram M10 (x2), Grenades (x6), Lots of ammo

Teleport Harness: The electronic harness that Solo wears gives him the equivalent of the Teleporter power package, although he cannot learn or perform any Teleporter Tricks with it.

Appearance: See picture

Background: Unknown. The Delta calling himself "Solo" first appeared on the scene when a group of hostages took a bank hostage. Solo teleported in, killed them, left a note with his now-familiar identifying phrase, and departed as quickly as he came. Since then, Solo has appeared on a number of occasions. His MO remains the same: teleport in, kill terrorists, teleport out.

It is believed that Solo is an independent operator, although recently he has taken to attacking Delta Warrior operations. This has led some to believe that he might be a Delta Prime or ex-Delta Prime operative. However, he seems to harbor no grudge against the Defiance per se, but only the terrorist activities of the Delta Warrior subfaction. In fact, on at least one occasion he worked wtih several Defiants who were fighting a terrorist organization.

Personality: Grim, silent, and bloodthirsty. He isn't much for small talk. He has no desire to kill Defiance members, and doesn't seem particularly interested in the American political system either. As long as Delta Prime and the Defiance don't get in the way of his one-man war on terrorism, he doesn't seem to care what they do or how corrupt Kennedy's government is.

Tactics: See above. Teleport in, attack, teleport out. Solo's primary attack is guns. Lots and lots of guns. However, he is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter as well, and the nature of his missions sometimes require that he interrogate prisoners.

Campaign Uses: If the player group are Delta Warriors then Solo makes for some effective non-Delta Prime opposition. Used properly, Solo can confront the Delta Warriors' terrorist rationale with a rationale of his own.

If a Guide runs a Delta Prime or Defiance-based campaign, Solo can function as an outside contractor, or even come bursting in as the cavalry. He really only becomes involved when terrorists threaten, but he might also be present if it looks like terrorists are involved. If they are not, he typically departs, but a persuasive group might convince him to stick around and help.

Quote: "While I live, terror dies."

Whiteout (starting character)

Real Name: Unknown
Power Package:

Sabra (starting character)

Real Name: Ruth Bat-Seraph
Power Package: Scrapper
Group Affiliation: Israeli Intelligence Operative
Delta Points: 3
Size: 5
Pace: 9

Smarts: 2d6 Area Knowledge (Israel): 2 Criminology: 2 Language (English): 2 Language (Hebrew): 2 Security: 2	Speed: 4d6 Acrobatics: 2 Flying: 4 Martial Arts (barehanded): 4 Shooting: 4
Spirit: 3d6 Bravery: 1 Faith: 2 Perception: 2 Persuasion (intimidation): 1 Scrutinize: 2 Search: 2 Shadowing: 1	Strength: 3d6 + 3 Climbing: 2 Running: 2 Throwing: 2

Quirks: Authority +3 (police officer in Israeli), Delta, Duty -5 (Israeli police), Gear +5 (power armor), Heroic -5, Public ID, Registered, Self-Confident +2

Tricks: Bull's Eye, Fast Healer, Fast Learner

Gear: Sabra Battle Armor

Battle Armor
Armor: 10/3
Strength: +5 to Strength rolls
Fly: Pace 40
Energy Quill Shooter: Auto Action, Special Ammo, 60 Shots, Quickness 1, ROF 3, Range 5, Damage Special - 5d6+10 (AP10) damage, but no Wounds. Instead, have the target make a Stun check against a difficulty based on the number of Wounds that would have been inflicted.

Appearance: See picture

Background: Israeli has produced relatively few Deltas, and those that appear are treated with a great deal of respect and consideration. Ruth Bat-Seraph is one of those. A simple farm girl, she was caught under a falling tractor. The Israelis keep a tight check on such near-death occurrences, and the country's small size made it quite easy to spot her. Ruth was taken in by the government and given special-operative training. She was also supplied with a special suit of battle armor (the better to protect their asset) and then sent forth to do the government's bidding. Her duties can take her through the Middle East and even into America when required.

Personality: Sabra is a relative novice. She is devoted to her country, and will do anything they ask. She is not a vicious fighter, and will attempt to stun rather than use her strength in combat.

Tactics: Fly and stun opponents. She will try to avoid hand-to-hand combat if possible (ironically enough as she is technically a Scrapper), but will not avoid it if the need arises.

Campaign Uses: Sabra can appear anywhere that the Israelis have a vested interested in something or another going on. They don't employ her services frivolously, but she will definitely show up any time that her superiors feel that a Delta-class presence is required. She could be after terrorists, or bodyguarding an Israeli politician visiting America, or even be involved in some covert Israeli operation on American soil.

Quote: "A 'sabra' is a prickly desert pear. I will show you what my quills can do."
