EXPROPRIATOR

 “Expropriator” is an acquired template that can be added to any creature identifiable by the Life Science skill (referred to hereafter as the character). Expropriators have been genetically altered to take advantage of second hand and salvaged cybernetic augmentations.

No one is ever born with the expropriator template.  It is applied to a character through endogenous metamorphosis and has several negative side effects.  A character may acquire the expropriator template later on by undergoing endogenous metamorphosis and permanently spending 1 Resolve Point.

EXPROPRIATOR SPECIAL QUALITIES

An expropriator retains all the special qualities of the character and gains the additional special qualities listed below.

Unlimited Salvaged Cybernetics (Ex): An expropriator can handle as many salvaged cybernetics as they have augmentation body slots. 

Cyber Psychosis (Ex): All recipients of the expropriator template gain the initial stage cyber psychosis.  However, the trigger can never get worse than 1 in 20.  The character no longer needs to make rolls each time they implant a salvaged cybernetic augmentation. For additional information on the cyber psychosis see the “Cybernetics Overview” section of the Gravity Age: Cybernetics Emporium.

Sterile (Ex): Often referred to as “Expropriator’s Blessing”, characters undergoing endogenous metamorphosis to gain this template can no longer reproduce.  The gene therapy fractures the character’s genetic makeup in such a way that it is ideal for circumventing the genetic coding for salvaged cybernetics.  It’s considered a blessing because cyber psychosis isn’t being passed down to another generation.
