==Special O.C.C. Abilities==

1 . Jury-Rig Repairs. The Operator can slap together solid temporary repairs in half the time that last twice as long. See the Jury-Rig skill for details.<br>

2. Find Parts and Components. +20% to Find Contraband related to vehicular M.D. weapons, M.D.C. materials, power supplies, communications systems, electronics, generators, fuel, mechanical parts and components. This bonus is added to his normal Find Contraband skill whenever such items are involved. Gets these items at a discount - 30% off as a professional courtesy from most other Operators and the Black Market, 50% discount from junkyards and salvage companies, and a 65% discount if he trades at least 1 2 hours of his time to work at a garage, machine shop, or factory for free. Every 1 2 hours he puts in, he can get up to 100,000 credits worth of parts or materials at the discount (that's 3 5 ,000 credits, his cost).<br>

3. Recognize Machine Quality. An exclusive skill that enables the Operator to tell if an item is new or used, defective, rebuilt, low or high quality, a fair price, and whether it's exactly what he needs or not. Skill applies to all most vehicles, machines, parts, tools, and electronics. Base Skill: 58% +3% per level of experience.<br>

4. Repair and Soup-Up Machines & Vehicles. Repairs for Cheap: Can completely repair most parts, machines and vehicles at a cost of 25% of its original list price (plus his time if he's charging for it; typically another 30% to 50%). Requires the right parts and time to make the repair.<br>

Replace M.D.C. on the main body and key sections at a cost of 1200 credits per every one M.D.C. point restored. Cannot exceed the original M.D.C. amount<br>

Add M.D.C. to brand new vehicles and body armor. The percentage increase depends on the Operator' s level of skill and experience; +5% at levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 .<br>

4. Can sink into the earth/ground up to nose and walk on dense molecules. Likewise can walk on dense molecules of smoke or fog (and thus into the air), as well as walk on water. These all require concentration and use up three melee actions per round to maintain.<br>
5. Must materialize to attack. No partial materialization. Small machines on being do not function while intangible.<br>
6. Can become tangible or intangible at nearly the speed of thought (counts as one melee action) but it can only be performed a maximum of four times per melee round.<br>

3. Tremendous pain, death or loss of consciousness will automatically turn one visible.<br>
4. Opponents who cannot see their invisible antagonist are -6 to strike, parry or dodge him.

Opponents with heat or infrared sensors or vision suffer no penalties and see the character to counter and strike back.<br>
5. Can automatically see the invisible.<br>
6. Add 1d4x10 SDC<br>
7. Can create a Horror Factor of 9 by making noises and moving items while invisible - "spooking" others.<br>

===Energy Resistance===
1. No physical damage is sustained by the first 30 points of energy attacks in a melee round. Energy attacks beyond the first 30 points do only half damage.<br>

Neural Mace<br>
Damage : Non-lethal; the victim who is stunned is -8 to strike, parry and dodge plus reduce the character' s speed and number of attacks per
melee round by half. The accumulative effect on the nervous system of the body being repeatedly struck and stunned may knock the victim unconscious, even if he has previously saved. After being struck more than four times, the unprotected character may be stunned into unconsciousness for 2d4 melee rounds. When he recovers, he will suffer the stun penalties for 1d4 minutes. Roll to save, a failed roll means there is
a 1-42% chance of being rendered unconscious. <br>
Note that in this case, even if the individual remains conscious, the charge will impair his movement as per the penalties previously described. Physical damage from the mace is 2d6 S.D.C. plus P.S. attribute bonus when used as a club; 1d6 plus strength bonuses when used as a jabbing weapon. The mace is an M.D.C. structure and can be used to parry M.D. attacks from Vibro-Blades, 'Borgs, 'bots and power armor.<br>
Duration of Stun Effects: 2d4 melee rounds. The duration of the impairment is increased 2d4 melee rounds for every hit by the mace for which the character does not save.<br>
Save vs Neural Mace: 16 or higher; the same as saving against non-lethal poison. The character must save each time he or she is struck. A successful save means the character loses initiative and one melee attack/action that round but is otherwise okay.<br>
Note: The mace is ineffective against environmental, M.D.C. body and power armor, but is effective against Dog Pack armor and half suits, or body armor without a helmet (not fully environmental without the helmet attached). Alsoineffective against supernatural opponents and creatures of magic.<br>
Payload : 100 charges; rechargable.<br>

==Background==
John 1701 was just another mutant superhuman techie from Freedom Station, employed by the KLS Corporation in their service department. Then his life changed one day while on a routine service call to repair some KLS robots that were part of the Earth Containment Network. Due to a malfunctioning IFF transponder several satellites mistook the ship he was on for a hostile vessel and opened fire. Despite the best efforts of the pilot it was irreversibly crippled and sent plummeting down to the planet below. For everyone else on board it was the end. But fortunately for John one of his mutant super powers was intangibility, enabling him to survive to what anyone else would be an instantly fatal fall from orbit.<br>

Another twist of luck for John was the fact that he happened to land in the eastern portion of North America. Since Freedom Station was established by the United States and Canada, classes about those countries and their Pre-Cataclysm history were ubiquitous throughout the North American Union. Because of that, John knew a little bit about its geography and potential points of interest. Once he got his bearings he found the nearest human settlement and began using his skills to earn a living, taking the last name Carter in order to blend in better. Being fortunate enough to land in the vicinity of Ishpeming, home of Northern Gun, he was able to find a lot of work with various mercenary companies that operated out of that area, repairing their vehicles and power armor and covertly using the edge his mutant powers gave him to be an effective scout and infiltrator. Thanks to his talents he was able to procure an armored exploration vehicle and lessons on how to drive it.<br>

Now that he had a secure vehicle to operate out of John decided it's time to travel around to look for potential ways of returning upstairs, or at least a means to contact home. He also figured he might as well make himself useful while he was down on Earth by gathering useful intelligence of what was down here for the North American Union. And while doing that he could earn income doing odd jobs for whoever was hiring. Repair jobs, mercenary work, whatever was needed to finance his travels.<br>
