Ulysses
The Test Subject

A 4-Victory Novice Contractor played by Metal in Maelstrom

Ulysses is a Genwyld Imprisoned Test Subject who will risk his life to become the ultimate Cockatrice Hybrid and reshape GenWyld into an ethical organization (free their prisoners, end their shady projects, etc.).

He is 23 years old, lives in A padded cell inside a GenWyld dark site and laboratory, and often appears as A black haired young man with blue eyes. His hands, which he normally keeps concealed inside of gloves, are birdlike talons. His skin is flecked with stone here and there. His face has entirely stone skin. He’s a bit of a stonefaced fellow.

Ulysses lives in Maelstrom, a setting where videos of the supernatural go viral every day. His journal, Scratchings in a Cell Floor, has 5 entries.

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each Round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Free Move (0) feet. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense or React more than once to a given Action.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 5 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 5). You also take a point of Mind Damage and suffer a Battle Scar as normal.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

(Ulysses is unharmed)

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar or Equipment destruction and always require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a surgery setup for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Outcome 4+ puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.
Failed or Botched attempts may be re-attempted at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Outcome 1+ will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar if it caused one.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed or Botched attempts may be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Gen-Wyld Supervision

Given by Polymorph

You've made your case to Dr. Alexandria Stone, and she's agreed to grant you additional privileges in light of your continued good behaviour. You're still confined to the Gen-Wyld Dark Site in Texas, but you now have a room and are trusted with a degree of autonomy. Gen-Wyld (Or at least Dr. Stone) is invested in your survival, so you will be provided a stipend, clothing and identification (in the name of Ulysses Joyce).

Conditions

From Assets and Liabilities

Less Than Human: Scientists/Lab Guys There is some particular class of person that you consider wholly deplorable and undeserving of compassion. If you have the Limits Murder, Atrocities, and/or Life-Saver, they do not apply to your chosen class of person.

Cat-Eyes Your eyes catch the light in the dark like a cat or dog's, granting low-light vision. You suffer no penalty to rolls in low-light situations. You cannot see in pitch blackness.

Born Runner You are built specifically for running. +5 feet of free Movement, +2 dice to all-out sprint rolls.

Biography

Ulysses is a GenWyld test subject, a hybrid human with Cockatrice DNA. He is kept in a DarkSite off of the public grid, and is effectively a prisoner. He has named himself Ulysses after one of the few books they allowed him to read in his life of captivity. Most of the labcoats still call him “4”.
