Day 19: F.I.S.T. Ultra - CLEAVER, former thief on the road to redemption

Now the second F.I.S.T. party member - the squad cannot only consist of one hacker.

This one will be called Cleaver, and as a Repentant character, they want to make amends for some past misdeed and will advance if they manage to work towards that goal in a session. Their traits are Bounce, which allows them to toss an enemy quite some way if they hit them in melee combat, and Number, which means that they see meaning in numbers where others cannot. They roll a 1d6 at the start of a mission and can use it to replace a number once in the session. Both in a roll and outside of it - if the referee says that they need 10 minutes to defuse a bomb, and their pre-session roll was a 1, they can change it to 1. She starts the game with a kinetic gauntlet, and a sudoku workbook, 11 HP, and 0 War Dice, and her basic attributes are Forceful 1, Tactical 1, Creative 0, and Reflexive 0.

Clearly, CLEAVER was the close friend of a scientist who in their spare time had clobbered together the kinetic gauntlet. And CLEAVER, a small-time thief using numbers as her personal horoscope to get away with that work stole it, hoping to use it to steal money from a bank without her friend noticing. The numbers, especially the date of that day, the pigeons she counted outside her window at breakfast, and the amount of money in her pocket said it would be the best path to take. She went and stole the money, confident that she would get away with it. Only to arrive back at her friend's place to put the gauntlet back, and find a penny she had overlooked in her pocket the moment her friend furiously challenged her on the robbery. She was shocked and ashamed, and when her friend came to slap her face she wanted to push them away. And accidentally punted them out of the window, to plummet to their death.

Cleaver joined F.I.S.T. in the memory of the friend she killed, wanting to atone for her life of crime.
