Words by I. McClung

A megalomaniacal masterpiece, you were
built to surpass humanity and survive
the end of all things. You are a void
in the fate of the world, reviled by
all beings in tune with the natural
and unnatural order.
Begins with d6x10s and d2 omens.
HP: Toughness+d10
Machine Origins [d6]
1. You stumbled upon this world in
search of fresh blood.
2. Your creator activated you shortly
before becoming your first victim.
3. Ancient, buried. A cult’s rites
seeped blood into your armor,
awakening you.
4. You were assembled as a savior, a
being to fight off the apocalypse.
You’ve only left a wake of death.
5. Your appearance is a manifestation
of a more... abstract influence. A
natural result of the
deterioration of the world.
6. You are from a different time
where the apocalypse hasn’t
happened, sent to prevent (or
bring) it.
Abilities:
Superior by Design, roll 3d6+2 for all
abilities. Don’t roll for equipment.
Soulless, you can’t use powers.
Attempting to read a scroll always
results in arcane catastrophe.
Armor Plating, -d4 damage, with no
penalty to Agility or Defense rolls.
You may don other armor, but you use
its die instead and suffer any listed
penalties.
Blood is Fuel, Whenever a creature
with blood dies near you, restore d6
HP. This is the only way you can
restore HP without the aid of powers.

familiar. 2d8 to a single target in
melee, d8 to d4 targets ranged. Barrels
always fire together. Takes a turn and
2 shells to reload. Starts with

5. Sword of Fire and Ice
This strange weapon shimmers like ice
and burns like flame. d6, every time
you roll 1 or 2 on the damage die you
get 1d4. You may expend it to add it
to your armor when you get hit or to
your damage when you hit something.
6. Grappling Hook
Complete with launcher, you can make
a ranged attack to deal d6 damage and
pull yourself to your target (if
it’s bigger) or your target to you

turn, where X is the damage it took from
the attack. Starts with Presence + d10
nails.

A staff with several rotating blades on
it. d8, zweihand. When you hit a creature
with flesh, you can hold it lodged in your
