PRIOR LIVES

The Allotment

Mutant Entertainer

The arrival of the Brit-Cit reclamation crews brought

new business opportunities for the mutants of the

Allotment. Those who have a natural talent for en-

tertainment beat the queue for gainful employment

in the conurbs by taking their art form to the camps

of reclam workers and Brit Company soldiers across

the Allotment. The mutant entertainers have per-

fected the old styles of cabaret and variety perform-

ances, all but extinct in Brit-Cit where mind-numb-

ing Tri-D is the only recreation most workers get.

The mutant entertainer can keep his audience in rapt

attention for hours using comedy, drama, hand-eye

coordination or his own unique mutations as his set

props. Mutant entertainers are often allowed to live

among the unmutated humans because of their en-

tertainment value, though they are often ordered to

hide their freakish appearances from the Brit-Citters

beneath hoods or thick cloaks until the time of their

next performance.

Mutant Aid Worker

Mutant aid workers provide a medium between the

mutants of the Allotment and the Federation Of De-

velopers. They offer support to communities that

have been approached by reclam scouts and agreed

to the terms and conditions of a redevelopment of

their land. The mutant aid worker answers mutants

questions about the way in which their land will be

transformed and their roles in the new conurb tak-

ing its place. The mutant aid workers bring with them

medical teams to examine the mutant population and

treat their ills before relocating them before the ter-

ra-meks arrive. The mutants are taken to camps

where they can watch the redevelopment in progress

while they await news of the jobs that will be availa-

ble to them once the conurb is completed. While many

mutants are content to let the mutant aid workers

do their thinking for them, the mutant rebels who

fight against the intrusion of Brit-Cit into their terri-

tory need to be forcibly contained. In this instance,

the mutant aid workers roles change from friendly

liaison officers to military personnel, taking up arms

with the weight of the local Brit-Company behind

them to ferret out the dissidents, bringing them to

justice at Allotment detention camps.

Ü The mutant entertainer automatically gains the Skill

Focus (profession - entertainer) bonus feat.

Ü Those watching the mutant entertainer are often so

engrossed in his performance that they do not notice

sneak attacks on their persons - they are automatically

surprised by attackers approaching from their rear or

flank.

Ü The mutant entertainer is paid for his shows but more

in the manner of coinage thrown at the stage rather than a

regular fixed salary. The mutant entertainer begins the game

with £500 or equivalent Allotment barter.

Ü The mutant aid worker is trained to put FOR policies

before mutants in a friendly and easy-going manner. He

can also put a mutants mind at ease when relations with

the FOR are strained. The mutant aid worker gains a +3

bonus to any opposed Charisma roll against mutants of

the Allotment.

Terra-Mek Technician

The terra-mek technician travels with a terra-mek

robot, maintaining and repairing the terra-mek as

required. Each terra-mek will have a crew of 3-6

technicians. In the event of a malfunction or break-

down, a diagnostic vid-screen in the passenger bay

informs the technicians of the exact nature of the

problem and its location. The technicians go into

action, travelling by access corridor for internal mal-

functions or by hover platform or ladder for external

mishaps. Most terra-mek malfunctions are easily

repaired, though a malfunction on the terra-meks

Ü When mutants turn against the FOR with no signs of

a diplomatic reconciliation, the mutant aid worker is

empowered to take up arms and lead a squad of eight

Brit-Company soldiers to do battle with the dissenters.

The mutant aid worker gains the Weapon Proficiency

(pistol) bonus feat.

Ü All the mutant aid workers needs are taken care of

by the FOR. He has no need to carry money on his per-

son in the Allotment because there is no outlet for it. The

mutant aid worker will have access to 1d4 x £1,000 back

in Brit-Cit.

CPU can make the need extremely urgent as the

addled robot ploughs into reclam buildings and per-

sonnel. Terra-mek technicians grow fond of their

charges, even to the point of living inside them, in-

stalling sleeping bunks.

than combat. All headbangers suffer a -3 modifier to

their Intelligence attribute at the time of character crea-

tion. Headbangers may not have an Intelligence score

exceeding 10.

Ü Headbangers have little interest in money, operating

a simple barter system, but traditional hard cash does

occasionally have its uses. A headbanger begins the game

with 1d3 x £200.

Ü The terra-mek technician gains the Skill Focus (pro-

fession - terra-mek technician) bonus feat.

Ü A close working relationship with his terra-mek and

many repair jobs gives the technician expert knowledge

of the workings of all robots of gargantuan size or above.

In these circumstances, the terra-mek technician is grant-

ed a +4 competence bonus to Technical skill checks.

Plasteen Worker

The plasteen worker builds solar tankers and hover-

ships from plasteen refined along the eastern coast of

Cal Hab. The job of a plasteen worker is hard, dirty

and dangerous. The ships built at the Cal Hab plas-

teen yards are among the most hardy to travel the

world, a fact that gives the plasteen worker a great

sense of pride. The plasteen worker is the highest

paid blue-collar worker in Cal Hab, taking home up-

wards of £20,000 a month.

Ü The terra-mek technician knows all the access corri-

dors and hatches of his terra-mek like the back of his

hand. He can scramble to reach damaged sections with

amazing speed. When navigating the geography of a ter-

ra-mek, the terra-mek technician gets to his intended

destination in half the time of other characters. He also

gains a +4 competence bonus to Climb skill checks using

the terra-meks ladders.

Ü The rigours of life in the plasteen factories turn weak-

lings into strong men. The plasteen worker gains a per-

manent +1 to his Strength.

Ü Terra-mek technicians are notorious for hiding their

wages inside their robots for safekeeping. Though cur-

rency is next to useless in the Allotment, the terra-mek

technician can be considered to have 1d8 x £1,000 with-

in close reach.

Ü Shipbuilding is a craft handed down from generation

to generation. The plasteen worker has the Skill Focus

(knowledge - engineering) bonus feat.

Cal Hab

Ü The plasteen worker makes frequent use of industrial

cutting tools. He gains the Weapon Focus bonus feat in

the las-burner or las-saw without having to first acquire

the feats normal prerequisites.

Headbanger

The headbangers are a clan of mutants infesting the

Strathmeg wastes. Most of the headbangers are can-

nibals and nearly all suffer some disease related to

the consumption of diseased human flesh. The head-

bangers are governed by violence, led by the phys-

ically strongest and meanest of their kin. All are prac-

titioners of the ancient martial art known as sticking

one on, a head butt charge often ending in the death

of the loser, or at the least severe brain damage.

Ü A highly paid professional, the plasteen worker has

saved 3d6 x £1,000.

Stude

Cal Hab is famous for its universities and teaching

facilities, finer than those of Brit-Cit. Many busy ur-

ban areas of the major cities are frequented by studes

deep in study, out for a good time or taking part in

student demonstrations on a seemingly daily basis.

Most studes are learning the skills that will take them

far away from a potential future in the plasteen ship-

yards to exotic jobs in Brit-Cit and further afield.

Ü The headbanger gains a +1 morale bonus to attack

and damage when using a head butt attack as part of a

charge. This attack does not provoke an attack of oppor-

tunity. The morale bonus stacks with the normal charge

bonus for a total modifier of +3 attack and +1 damage.

Ü Studes are adept at locating a bargain, whether it is

cheap alcohol, a place to lodge or where to score a dyna-

mite drug hit. The stude gains the Skill Focus (street-

wise) bonus feat.

Ü Headbangers are raised in the Strathmeg wastes and

have evolved a natural radiation resistance of DR 5.

Ü Headbangers are powerful characters, shaped by a

culture of unending violence set against the harsh back-

drop of the Strathmeg wastes. All headbangers gain a

permanent +1 modifier to their Constitution.

Ü Most studes have to develop good computer skills if

they are find employment in the more sophisticated

mega-cities. The stude gains the Skill Focus (computer

use) feat.

Ü Countless head butt fights and a social taboo against

any form of intellect has resulted in the headbangers

turning away from using their heads for anything other

Ü The stude depends on hand outs from his parents

or the local authorities. He begins the game with 1d3

x £500.

Ü The theme park warden is extremely familiar with

the layout of the area of the Emerald Isle theme park he

patrols. He knows all the short-cuts, the technicalities of

the amusements on offer and locations of amenities. The

theme park warden receives the Skill Focus (streetwise)

bonus feat.

Emerald Isle

Ü All theme park wardens are trained in first aid,

offering confident medical assistance to tourists suffer-

ing anything from cut and bruises to a broken limb or

heart attack. The theme park warden receives the Skill

Focus (medical) bonus feat.

Theme Park Entertainer

The most common job in the Emerald Isle is the thank-

less position of theme park entertainer. Trained to

appear bumbling and highly skilled at clowning and

pratfalls, the entertainer is clad in a bright green uni-

form and forced to talk in a stereotyped shure and

begorrah! Irish brogue. Many ordinary Emerald Isle

citizens regard the entertainers as an insult to their

nationality. However, they are usually the only con-

tact visitors and tourists have with population of the

Isle, serving to reinforce the preconceptions most of

the world has concerning the simple minded Irish.

Ü The theme park warden is equipped with a medi-

pack and a throat mike to summon assistance. Booster

stations set regularly throughout the theme parks grant

the mike an effective range of twenty miles.

Ü The theme park warden begins the game with 2d6 x

1,000 punts.

Priest of the Many

Ü The theme park entertainer is skilled in the perform-

ance arts relating to the subject of Emerald Isles quasi-

mythic past. He gains the Skill Focus (perform) bonus feat.

When the Vatican finally succumbed to political in-

fighting and Mafia machinations, the Catholic Church

of Eire declared its independence. The Church of the

Many was born, a system of simple services and re-

spect for the beliefs of others beliefs. The Vatican

has declared the Church heretical and has summar-

ily excommunicated all its prac-

titioners. Archbishop Patrick

MacCaig has been declared the

anti-Christ. Priests of the Many

lead simple lives but are allowed

to marry and raise families.

Ü Theme park entertainers are highly skilled dancers,

regularly drilled in the highly disciplined wild-dance an

almost hypnotic, frantic dance routine doubling as a

martial art. When involved in un-

armed combat, the theme park

entertainer gains a number of

additional attacks per round

based on his Dexterity bonus.

Ü The theme park entertainer

is the cornerstone of the theme

park and is reasonably well paid

for his work. He starts the game

2d6 x 1,000 punts.

Ü Priests of the Many offer limited

healthcare to all who come to them.

They gain the Skill Focus (medicine)

bonus feat.

Ü The sermons given by the priests

of the Many are popular among the lo-

cal Islanders, dealing with everyday is-

sues, devoid of the sanctimonious lec-

turing that characterises the Vaticans

twisted religion. The priest of the Many

gains a +4 Charisma modifier when

speaking with those sympathetic to his

beliefs.

Theme Park Warden

The theme park warden is both

a tour guide and a security of-

ficer, one of hundreds who as-

sist the Judge Militia. Each war-

den receives extensive first aid

training as well as some com-

bat training. Most are employed

for their intimidation value

their threatening presence usu-

ally enough to stall any trouble

before it begins. Unlike the

more social tour guide, the

theme park warden is stationed

in a specific location, possess-

ing an unrivalled knowledge of

his patrol area.

Ü The priest of the many is unpaid

for his work, but receives donations

from his flock. He begins the game

with 1d4 x 50 punts.
