Mystic

Archetype: Human Burnt Out Mage

Mystic is fascinated with the idea of combining magic and cyberware. Although this has turned him into somewhat of a burn out he doesn't really mind. The limited number of spells he knows are all used to facilitate the use of his new cyberware. The most apparent piece of technology he possesses is a pair of metallic wings implanted in his back. Although alone these do not provide enough lift to get him off of the ground, combined with a modified levitation spell they function much like a dragon's wings would. He also possesses an implanted power focus which emerges from the palms of both hands as a small metallic bump. Through these he conducts a large amount of both magical and natural electricity, allowing him to project a powerful lightening bolt several meters. Physically he is of extremely light build. He has long white hair, rarely wears a shirt, and has an apparent immunity to most of the acids which fall during hard rains.

Farrel

Archetype: Human Cybertechnician

Put together most of Mystic's cyberware. Some of Farrel's implantations have been such a success that he has the strong desire to approach some large cybertechnology firms and offer his discoveries and advances to them. The only thing stopping this is Mystic. Mystic wants to be the only one with implantations like his own and has even resorted to violence (he's blasted Farrel across the room with his lightening bolts a few times) to keep him from going to the corps. Needless to say Mystic doesn't actually let Farrel implant the devices any more.

Dr. Dime

Archetype: Human Cybertechnician

This is Mystic's "backup" cyber technician to whom he has been turning more frequently due to the tensions with Farrel. Dr. Dime doesn't give a rat's ass about either of them and is sticking around because in addition to installing some of Farrel's devices she is also learning how to make them via reverse engineering and, eventually, will probably try to sell them herself. Neither Farrel or Mystic know about her plans.

Glass

Archetype: Human Mage

Glass is a close, personal friend of Mystic who doesn't really care about his possessive attitude toward his implants or how he treats Farrel. In addition to providing much needed magical healing and support before and after surgery, the two occasionally run with various groups but usually go out by themselves on low level missions.
