Rick Deckard

aka the Blade Runner

This writeup is based on the tie-in licensed property comic and NOT the inspiring film behind the adaptation


Fighting: 10 Good
Agility: 6 Typical
Strength: 6 Typical
Endurance: 30 Remarkable
Reason: 10 Good
Intuition: 20 Excellent
Psyche: 10 Good

Health: 96
Karma: 40 but frequently 0 due to missing commitments and committing what he sees as murder, ie the "retirement" of artificially created biological life forms known as Replicants. If Deckard is correct and Replicants really are "alive" and are "people" then for long periods of time Rick Deckard has lost all Karma due to frequently taking a life.

Resources: Poor
Pop: 0, -20 with Replicants and other androids

Known Powers:
None.


Equipment:
+Street clothes and heavy coat Feeble protection vs. Physical;
+Blaster Pistol: Price: 10r, Range 9 areas, Damage: Excellent, Rate of Fire: 1 per round, Shots (Magazine): 6, can be fired one handed by anyone with appropriate Talent or at -1CS by anyone else otherwise it requires two hands to fire;
+Air Car aka a "Spinner":
based on Air Car Mark I from the Classic Marvel RPG site "Technology" menu dropdown item - Vehicles

This is a sedan car with sleek sports car finish, fully enclosed with gull-wing doors. It has four turbojet engines, each functioning through an enclosed fan set into the center of its four wheels. The wheel axles feature a universal joint allowing the fans to swivel. The wheel turbojets make this a VTOL and hovering capable vehicle. It is 18 feet long and 12.5 feet wide. There is room inside for four adult-sized humans. It can also be fitted with a roof rack to carry standard automobile type roof rack cargo as well as electronics or other machinery to provide for example air purification or air conditioning inside.

Control Remarkable
Body Excellent
Protection Good
Speed Amazing

On-Board Systems Include:

Communications: Amazing Ability and Range provided by an externally fitted communications box resembling a large CB radio

+Police Issue "Blade Runner Squad" identification allowing him access to virtually anywhere.


Talents :
Marksmanship, Martial Arts A, Pilot, Air Car Driver, Detective, Law Enforcement, Android Detection (based on Intuition rolls as assisted by technology such as the Voigt-Kampff machine)

Contacts:
LAPD

Ex-Wife
Rachel (a Nexus 6 android)

Limitations:
Low Self Esteem: in a situation triggering self-reflection or depression Rick Deckard must make a Yellow FEAT roll on Psyche or drink himself into an alcohol affected state. When affected by alcohol he is -3CS to all physical rolls but makes any check related to resisting pain or unconsciousness with a +1CS bonus.


Biography:
Rick Deckard is a contractor for LAPD in a corporate near-future neo-noir dystopian world, set in the futuristic world of 2019. He is wracked by doubt and self-loathing, seeing what he does for a living -hunting and killing artificially create human beings- as being serial murder rather than simple disposal of a piece of malfunctioning technology.

Plot Twist:
Deckard may be a Replicant himself.

As a Replicant, does Deckard possess any healing powers? I never read the comic tie-in, but he took some brutal beatings in the movie.

I don't think Replicants have any particular healing factor, they just tough it out. I am sure since they are engineered for demanding tasks they would have higher than Typical physical statistics (other than Fighting unless their job is violent).

The beatings Deckard took reduced him to a slumped heap leaning against a wall so he definitely got beaten down. He didn't ignore the damage. But then neither did Roy Batty other than being "hyped" in his final fight.

The math is wrong. Health should be 54

I'd give Rick the following stats

F: Ex
A: G
S: G
E: Ex
R: G
I: EX
P: Ex

Health:60
Karma: 50

Under talents, I'd list Guns / marksman

And no, he is not a replicant. He is a controlled blade runner.
