Loyal (Minor):This stalwart defender risks her life for her friends without hesitation. Some Loyal heroes may not act that way, but are the first to come to their friends’ rescue when they’re threatened.
Ruthless (Major):The fanatic will do most anything to accomplish her goals. She harms anyone and everyone who gets in her way.

Command is the basic ability to give clear instructions and support to allies in the thick of battle. Extras in Command Range add +1 to their Spirit rolls when attempting to recover from being Shaken and Vigor when attempting to recover from being Stunned.
: +1 to Allies’ Shaken or Stunned recovery rolls.
Command Range: Allies must be within 5″ (10 yards) to benefit from her abilities.
Selfless heroes and determined leaders know their greatest strength often comes from their companions, and are willing to give some of their own fortune, fate, or luck to support them.
A character with this Edge may freely give her Bennies to any other character she can communicate with. The player should explain what form this takes, from a quick shout of encouragement to a welcome pat on the back.
: The hero may freely give her Bennies to others.
Each time this Edge is chosen, five followers come to fight by the hero’s side. If any are lost, others eventually take their place (how long is up to the GM and the circumstances).
Followers must be cared for and generally want a share of whatever loot, treasure, or other rewards the hero acquires. Otherwise, they are completely dedicated to their task. They won’t throw their lives away but are willing to risk them repeatedly in his service.
Use the Experienced Soldier profile found on page 188 for the followers. A hero may outfit her allies as she sees fit. Followers Advance just like player characters (see page 54).
Use the Allies rules on page 111 to give them distinctive personalities
if desired.
: The hero has five followers.

Some people seem to know someone everywhere they go or make contacts quickly and easily. The contact may not be the most amazingly helpful person—they may even have an unrequited crush on the hero or hate them for some past slight. The person known may be well-placed in an organization, or just as easily a homeless person who knows the word on the street. The point is, however, almost anywhere he goes, the hero seems to have a knack for connecting with people who know something of value or can contact some helpful folks.
Once per quarter, the player can invoke this Edge to effectively have the Connections Edge with any person or group who shares a mutual interest or motivations (whether personally or as a group). Make a Smarts roll at −2 (or an opposed Smarts roll for powerful contacts) to see if they can be leveraged or convinced to help in any way. A failure on the check expends that quarter’s use of the Edge. If successful, the favor depends on the nature of the contact (GM’s call) but might include loaning useful gear, a few allied fighters, transportation, information, or even a professional with critical skills the party doesn’t have, like a hacker, occultist, or scholar.

: The hero may discard and redraw Action Cards of 5 or lower.
Unless the hero is planning to remain in one location for a serious length of time, annual salary isn’t part of the wealth equation. She’s managed to accumulate a bit of money, but more importantly, extra gear. She begins with 15,000 credits and gets two rolls on the Body Armor, Close Combat Weapons, Cybernetics, Enchanted Items & Mystic Gadgets, or Ranged Combat Weapons Tables. The hero may give up the two rolls to instead own one personal weapon, body armor, or adventuring gear item of her choice.

Dr. Enderson hails from the CS where he was too unscrupulous in his selection of patients for the ISS to ignore. The Doctor's motto has always been to treat any patient as long as they can pay. After treating one D-Bee too many, Dr. Endrson nearly escaped Chi-town with his life.
He escaped to Northern Gun where business is just as good if not better. However, he learned a valuable lesson in Chi-town. He now bankrolls a squad of mercenaries to watch his back. The ISS won't catch him off guard again.
Now, he has contacts in nearly every merc squad in Northern Gun. He has also treated clientele from nearly every major group in the city's underbelly. He doesn't bring much to the table in a fight, but his contacts, knowledge, and medical skill serves any group he works with well.

Goon Squad (Allied Extras) Ammo Level: Very High/High (the usual level)/Low/Out After each fight, the ammo automatically drops a level. This makes for dramatic situations and realistic logistical problems while eliminating the bookkeeping.
The Goon Squad is a merc team from Northern Gun led by Spike and employeed by Dr. Emerson. They're far from the best money can buy, but as long as the doctor has Spike by the metaphoric balls, it's a good business deal. In addition to not-quite-fair pay, Spike demands the finest medical treatment from the doctor for any injuries incurred on the job.
Interestingly, Spike's XO Nemo outright refused to sign the contract unless Dr. Emerson agreed keep "Destructinator," Nemo's plasma rifle, in perfect repair. Which is something the doctor regrets agreeing to considering Nemo once managed to cause the weapon to overheat so spectacularly that it caused an explosion. Which, due to a well timed (read: paniced) toss, took out the entire enemy opposition on that mission.
The rest of the team either had no say in the matter or were perfectly happy with the arrangement. To date, they have performed adequately and there have been no casualties. The doctor would argue that this is due less to their skill and more to the doctor's timely administrations of medical aid.
Spike (Human) Point Man, Goon Squad Leader, Ruthless
Spike is the de facto leader of the Goon Squad which he rules with an iron fist. He is the type of mercenary who will work for the highest bidder, but he also has a reptuation for staying alive. If a job is too difficult, he doesn't mind walking or going against orders to call for a tactical retreat.
The Doctor and Spike have a working agreement: Spike will follow orders without doublecrossing the doctor, and accordingly, Doctor Enderson won't release a tidal wave of information regarding Spike's sordid affairs into Northern Gun's seedy underbelly. Spike gets to keep his reputation, and even build it working for Dr. Enderson, and Dr. Enderson gets an affordable, somewhat trustworthy protection detail.
Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d6, Spirit d6, Strength d8, Vigor d8 Skills: Athletics d6, Common Knowledge d6, Fighting d8, Intimidation d6, Notice d6, Persuasion d6, Shooting d8, Stealth d6 Pace: 6; Parry: 7(1); Toughness: 13 (5) Edges: Soldier, Dead Shot, Rapid Fire Hindrances: - Gear: Pulse Laser Rifle (24/48/96, 4d6, RoF 3, AP 2, Shots 60/60, 3RB, Cauterize, No Recoil), Vibro-Bayonet (Str+d6, AP 6, MD, When attached to a rifle, Str+d8, AP 8, Parry +1, Reach 1, two hands.), Huntsman Medium Personal Armor (Armor +5, Toughness +2)
Mouse (Human) Cannon Fodder, Goon Squad Go-For, Useless and Meek
Dr. Enderson can only guess what terrible sequence of events led a person like Mouse to join a mercenary group. She's gun shy, an ineffective combatant, and completely useless on the front line. If she wasn't more terrified of the certainty of catching a bullet to the brain from Spike than the dangers of combat, she probably would have broken and ran long ago.
She primarily tends to the group's grunt work outside of combat. The Goon Squad piles everything on her they can trust her with. On the job, she's never left alone. She's typically assigned to securing the ingress/egress with Shade, Nemo and/or Paradox.
Nemo is both surprisingly good natured and highly professional. He's a pretty boy who talks fancy and thinks its cool to give his gun a name. The rest of the goon squad mostly lets him slide on that count because he's a crack shot with his plasma rifle "Destructinator." The rest of the squad hopes he finds a groove with his naming scheme in the future.
As a combatant, he's well rounded. He often teams up with Shade to watch her back(side). He's good enough with his plasma rifle to act as a secondary sniper, too. Nemo is Mouse's preferred teammate, and when an exit or entry is critical Nemo often gets paired with her. He isn't afraid to head into the fray with Spike on the front lines, though, and that pairing is quite effective. Nemo, Spike and Shade form the backbone of the Goon Squad.

Shade (Human) Sniper, Goon Squad Eyes and Ears, Snarky
Shade is the Goon Squad's sniper. From an elevated position, she can rain death down on her enemies with her particle beam rifle. She's no better of a shot than Nemo, but unlike the team's charismatic all-rounder, Shade can use any rifle to get the job done.
That said, she doesn't like taking a front line position. Spike doesn't care whatsoever, but he understands that her potential is squandered from the front, so Shade typically gets her way. When a job doesn't call for sniper fire, she often finds herself paired with Mouse and/or Paradox.
Paradox (Human) Distraction and Misdirection, Goon Squad Filler, Imbecile
Paradox is an enigma. As enigmatic as an idiot can be. They follow orders to a T, exactly as described and for better or for worse. They hardly speak and aren't particularly effective on the battlefield. Despite all of this, Paradox holds a position within the Goon Squad roughly halfway between Mouse and Nemo.
Paradox is hard to pin down, and when they do catch a shot, they tend to shrug it off. Paradox can take up position with any other member of the team and do an acceptable if not exceptional job. Whatever their story is, Paradox is accepted into the team with few questions asked (and none answered).

Doctor's White Combat Coat (Rifts Patron Item) This combat coat is Dr. Enderson's personal doctor's white coat modified for combat.
