Your home world had a full global nuclear war a long time ago, and you are not quite human after the mutations.

Persistent rumors claim that Haraza was originally the home world of all humans called “Earth”, that it was nuked in a independence fight with some colonies. Most experts like to point out that Haraza is far from the area that the Federation was in and thus not a likely candidate.

Note:this template has things with more than the 300 points, so you have to leave many things out. The total can vary by +/-10 points and balanced in basic skills/background.

Spend 300 points on below:

Selecting minimums from everything would be: One of the wealth/Status levels[75] Minimum training[60] Implants equal to ranger implants[+0], maximum disadvantages[-32] =103 points, thus would need to use at least 192 more points.
Selecting maximums from everything would be: One of the wealth/Status levels[145] Maximum training[90] Best Implants[+322] =567 points thus would need to reduce at least 262 points.

Distinctive features: Optional, but fairly common among nobles. Only one allowed from below:

• Blue skin(only if major house or lesser house)[-1]. Several of the major houses tinkered with their genes to produce blue skin as a symbol of being different. Some lesser houses followed suit. A law then forbid anyone not of a lesser or major house from having skin colored blue.
• Lithe[-6]:(skinny+distinctive features) a modification to the glands of several noble houses produces an unique extremely skinny “catlike” look.
• Albino[-1]:(Distinctive features) Some noble houses have genegineered themselves to be albino, without the weakness to sublight by adding colorless protective elements to the skin.
• Cat eyes[-1]:A new fad among the younger crowd of lesser noble houses is to have the irises of their implant eyes be vertical. This can be combined with any of above.

Can take up to 25 points social/mental/physical disadvantages as a member of nobles can easier bypass entry requirements to imperial service.

This is a computer implanted in the recipient’s head and controlled through its own direct neural interface. It takes only a thought to call up a file or access a database. Data scrolls across the periphery of the user’s vision, and he hears the computer as a voice in his head.

The implant includes an optical-recognition feature using the user’s eyes and ears as sensors. It can speed-read documents, for example, and store them in its database. (It takes normal time to read them later, though one could ask the computer to provide a synopsis).

The interface can also run “virtual tutor” (p. 56) augmented reality programs that not only talk but show how to do things by overlaying instructions on the user’s visual field. Although several programs could theoretically be run at once, the user can only focus on one at a time. A computer implant is most useful with an implanted communicator.

Computer Implant (TL9)

The user should also have a neural jack (p. 217) or implant radio (p. 211).

Statistics: Accessory (Tiny computer) [1]; Photographic Memory (Temporary Disadvantage, Electrical, -20%

This is a socket implanted in the body (usually the back of the neck, base of the spine, or skull) with a communications interface. The user can plug an optical cable (p. 43) into it and connect to a phone line, modem, etc.

Statistics:Cable Jack (Sensie, +80%) [9]. 9 points.

This is a wireless neural interface radio with a one-mile range. It can also function as a radio communicator.

Statistics:Radio (Reduced Range, ¥1/10, -30%; Secure, +20%; Sensie, +80%) [17]. 17 points.

This implant controls biofeedback systems and diagnostic monitors, as well as nanomachine drug factories that that help the user manage his body’s physiological state.

Statistics: Alcohol Tolerance [1], Deep Sleeper [1], Metabolism Control 1 [5], No Hangover [1]. 8 points

This computer and sensor system monitors the user’s chemical and electrical thought processes, reshaping its own neural network to imitate them. The backup brain will configure itself into an electronic duplicate of the user’s mind after a number of months equal to the user’s IQ. After it has successfully mimicked the user, a simple operation can shut down the organic brain and give the backup brain control of the user’s body.

The advantage of doing so is twofold: the implant is more resistant to brain damage, and it does not suffer IQ losses due to aging or brain disease. A backup brain implant can also be transplanted into a clone body. (This is a radical cybernetic operation.) If successful, the result will be a clone controlled by a computer that behaves exactly like the original person.

If the user dies, the brain implant may survive, preserving the user’s memory and personality. This is the case whether or not the ordinary brain has been shut down. If the user was killed by any injury that left his head intact, the implant will always survive. If the brain implant user was killed by a head injury, the implant will survive unless the head was totally destroyed (i.e., damage to the head alone was greater than 5 ¥ HT). If the implant survives, it can be salvaged and transplanted into a cloned body.

Statistics:Once the implant has taken over, the user’s ability to avoid IQ losses from aging and sometimes evade death is the Extra Life (Copy) advantage [20]

Select 103 points from below ninja abilities. You can use +/-5 the given number of points with the basic/background skills used to balance.

The ninja acquires these abilities through rigorous conditioning. The ninja power modifier requires the ninja to not have any rigid armor and be maximally at light encumbrance to work.

Ninja are great climbers, and many of their tools are designed to help them ascend to high places. Therefore, a ninja must learn quickly to fall properly.

Statistics: Catfall(PM, -10%)[9].

Ninja learn to detect impending danger. This ability isn’t magical or mystical, but rather reflects the ninja’s hypersensitivity to things that could endanger him.

Statistics: Danger Sense(PM, -10%)[14].

Ninja are mobile, and move lightly and quickly. They learn to avoid blows instead of taking them.

Statistics: Enhanced Dodge 1(PM, -10%)[14].

Ninja eschew heavy armor. Instead, they learn to defend them selves with their weapons to the utmost.

Statistics: Enhanced Parry 1 or 2(All Weapons; PM, -10%) [9 or 18]

Ninja can learn special methods to use their weapons to end a fight quickly with a powerful blow. Add your Killing Strike level to your ST to calculate damage for a single armed melee attack. Unfortunately, this is hard on the weapon,and it requires a focus of mental energy that can’t be maintained more than a brief interval. Thus, you can deal such a blow once per battle with a given weapon(you’re assumed to maintain your weapons, and refocus your mental energy between fights).

If you have many weapons, you can Ready or Fast-Draw weapon after weapon to invoke this ability repeatedly. Once you run out of weapons,you can’t use the ability again until the next battle.This is one reason why ninja master–and carry!–many different weapons.

The weapons do not have to be of a different type; you can use a succession of knives,ninja-to,and kusari… but it’s more stylish to have different weapons.

A complete miss never expends a use of Killing Strike.

However, if the blow either strikes home or is successfully blocked, dodged, or parried, it does count as a use.

Statistics: Striking ST(Once Per Weapon Per Battle, -10%; PM, -10%)[4/level]

Prerequisites: Killing Strike 2, and Ninja Tools 2.

A skilled ninja not only can wield weapons effectively, but can turn an ordinary object into a lethal weapon. This is extremely hard on the object so handled;it automatically ruins it for use in its original design and as a weapon after one use. This ability can be combined with Killing Strike(above).

An object must be similar in both length(within 10%)and weight(within 1lb.) to the weapon it’s intended to emulate.For example, an ordinary stick can be treated as a staff or club, a knotted rope as a kusari or garrote,a rock as a shuriken. However, a rock doesn’t make a good sword,nor a wand,a spear. To use the ability, simply declare the tool is being used as a Lethal Weapon. Resolve the attack normally as if theimprovised item was a weapon of the appropriate kind. This ability lasts for one successful attack; after causing damage or being blocked, dodged,or parried,it is no longer effective–the stick breaks,the rope tangles hopelessly and so on.

Statistics: Adds the new special modifier Improvised Weapons, +20%, to WeaponMaster(Ninja Weapons; p. 7)[7].

One of the most basic ninja arts,this is the ability to produce your own tools for the task at hand. The ninja can buy any number of Gizmos(p. B57) subject to these limitations(the usual limit of three doesn’t apply).The catch is that these Gizmos can only produce ninja gear: nage teppos,shuriken,climbing spikes, and so on.For purposes of this advantage,any item underNinja Tools (DF12:15) or Primitive Covert Ops and Security Gear (see Dungeon Fantasy1,p.25)counts as “ninjagear.” Revealed items can’t be heavier than Basic Lift/10lbs., longer than Reach 1, or have Bulk worse than-4. Subject to these size limits, a Gizmo can be any ninja gear you own but didn’t specify you had on you(it “teleports” to you and stays with you afterward); any bit of reusable ninja gear that you didn’t own, worth at most $10 (ditto);or any expendable ninja item worth up to $50(consumed in a single use).

Alternatively, you can use your Gizmo to“trick out” a weapon of any size that you have ready in yourhand: Your ninja-to’s sheath might act as asnorkel or ablowpipe, your staff could have a hidden kusari inside or turn into climbing pole, etc. The limit here is one Gizmo per weapon per adventure.

Thus, you must whip out a new weapon for each trick.

Statistics: Gizmos (Ninja Gear Only, -10%; PM, -10%) [4/level].

Prerequisite: Silence2.

Ninja learn to meld with the shadows and darkness, making them especially hard to see. Even individuals close to or surrounding the ninja become less visible; the eye is distracted and looks elsewhere. This does not work when moving.To remain One With Shadows, one must remain unmoving.

Statistics: Obscure 5 (Vision; Accessibility, Only when stationary, -50%; Defensive, +50%; Extended, Infravision, +20%; PM, -10%; Stealthy, +100%)[21].

Once a ninja has learned to fall safely, he masters how not to fall at all.Legends of ninja masters running along ropes and scurrying along the narrowest ledges are based on this ability, often combined with Light Walk(p.B205)to travel on weak or fragile surfaces.

Statistics: Perfect Balance(PM, -10%)[14].

Prerequisite: DangerSense.

Once a ninja’s senses are able to warn him of unseen danger, he learns to see the danger better. A ninja’s alertness to his surroundings gives him almost super-normal field of vision.

This is not a physical change to the ninja, merely training to notice and recognize objects on the edge of his field of vision.

Statistics: Peripheral Vision(PM, -10%)[14].

Prerequisites: Ninja Talent 3+, Perfect Balance, Silence2, and Super Jump1.

The true master ninja no longer becomes one with the shadow,but becomes the shadow.He can slip from shadow to shadow, and slide through the small cracks in dark places. Only the smallest amount of gear can be carried.

Statistics: ShadowForm(Can Carry Objects, No Encumbrance, +10%; PM, -10%)[50].

Prerequisites: One With Shadows.

Ninja learn to cloud and confuse the minds of those who observe them, allowing them to appear as another, perhaps trusted, individual. The special Glamour limitation(Powers, p. 111) means the ability only affects living, free-willed brings , who must roll vs. Will-4 to resist,adding Mind Shield if they have it.

Statistics: Elastic Skin(Glamour, -10%; PM, -10%)[16]

Prerequisite: NinjaTalent1+.

Ninja learn to leap with the lightness and quickness of a shadow.

Statistics: SuperJump1(PM, -10%)[9].

Prerequisites:Ninja Talent1+(for Silence 1);Ninja Talent 2+ and Silence 1(for Silence2).

Ninja learn to breathe and move silently, to augment their mystical skills (see Invisibility Art, p. B202; and Light Walk, p. B205)and normal stealth.

Statistics: Silence 1 or 2(PM, -10%)[5or9].

181 points in “spells” and implants. You can use +/-5 the given number of points with the basic/background skills used to balance.

As a technomage you can skip having the 25 point special power and instead use the 25 points here. In such case when you could buy further 25 point special power levels, you can instead buy/upgrade 25 points more implants here.

Just pay the points for the spells/implants you have as natural things in the beginning. For implanted gadgets you need to pay the money cost too.

Note that some can also be bought as implanted gadgets. Such have the disadvantage of taking an action to activate also requiring appropriate skill roll. They also require 1 hour/week maintenance so you should have the appropriate repair skill and spend the time. You can then change such to normal advantage as normal for such. They are especially much worse than the senses, less bad for something like a grav belt.

Many of the spells take a “space” in the body. You have a total of maximally 5 spaces in body, 1/4 in each leg, 1/8 in each arm and 1/16 in neck or head as base.

If you are skinny you cannot increase it beyond that. For normal build you can buy up to +2 payload in body at cost of 1 point each, +4 for overweight, +6 for fat and +8 for very fat. Those with Stocky build)[-1] can buy +4 and those with skinny build)[-1] cannot buy any.

For legs and arms: for 1 point total for legs and 1 point total for arms you can increase both legs to 1.5* capacity for normal build, *2 capacity for overweight/fat/stocky and *2.5 capacity for very fat.

As implanted gadgets: All cost [1] and the money cost is 10* the guide net cost above. They require 1 hour or maintenance/week using armoury(force screens) Skill to activate: Electronic operation(force screen)

Note that the numbers above are maximum. If you are strapped for points you can select an entry on the table above and reduce the DR. Each DR lower is -1 point, all other statistics stay the same. It is possible to reduce down to 1 point above the previous lower screen size.

It is possible to buy extra guide nets and implant them in armors. In such cases the specific armor does not reduce the force screen. They cost and weight as given above
