The Sentinel
A strikingly beautiful woman, six feet tall, curvy and athletic and badass to the bone. The founder, coordinator and spiritual leader of the human resistance. Before the apocalypse, she was a scientist of some kind until her attempts to warn the world about the coming of the machines ruined her career; after that, she fell off the grid completely, dedicating her life to preparing for the End Of The World As We Know It. Now she roams the wastelands, inciting and organizing the rebellion against our new machine overlords. Most rebels have seen her once, maybe twice if they're lucky: she finds and recruits you, teaches you how to fight and survive, then moves on.
The Machines
Slaves
Cybernetically enhanced humans with limited intelligence and no free will. They possess just enough initiative to carry out their designated tasks and obey commands. Some are grown in cloning vats, some converted from captured humans; both are destined for the recycling plants when their usefulness runs out, their cybernetic parts to be reclaimed and the organic parts rendered into nutrients for the clones.
Servants
Human traitors who retain their volition and intellect, with just enough modifications to ensure their loyalty to their new masters (although many have volunteered for more extensive augmentation). Capable of making independent decisions and giving commands, they often oversee massive slave hordes and are sometimes used for infiltrating the resistance.
Drones
The type of pure machine most often seen outside their colossal spire cities. The size of a small van and vaguely arachnid in design, they come variously outfitted with all kinds of equipment and weaponry, depending on their designated mission. Although they are often seen leading slaves and servants, they don't seem to possess full sentience but rather function as relays or avatars for some kind of central intelligence.
The Setting
The world is an ashen wasteland under a burning sky, littered with the blackened bones of our cities. Only small handfuls of humans live free, sprinkled all over the globe where ever they can hide; the rest live in mindless slavery, cybernetically modified thralls of the machine invaders.
The System
Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition, plus the Super Powers Companion.
Character Creation
Characters start at Seasoned rank, with 20XP and four advances.
Standard power level - 10 Power Points to begin with, 5 more for each application of the Power Points Edge.
Inherent Bravery - You're fucking metal. All uses of the Guts skill are replaced by the Spirit attribute; don't bother buying the skill.
Inherent Power - You're so fucking metal, every PC gets the Arcane Background (Metal) Edge for free. It works exactly the same as Arcane Background (Super Powers) presented in the Super Powers Companion, with one important exception: your powers can only be used for awesome.
No Unarmed Defenders - You're totally fucking metal, alright? There is no penalty for defending against armed attacks while unarmed.
