With some political maneuvering on the part of other
99
research scientist s jealous o f the time and money alotted
for Vargo's futile experlmenlS, the project was canceled.
Still DoclOr Vargos con tinued to develop his serum on
hiS own lime. At long last he was sure he had the proper
elements for success but couldn't get the facili ties, money
or volunteers for testing the radically new formula.
Frustrated by the lack of support and confident of the
formula ' s effects, he decided t o test It on himself.
The re sull.5 were startling. Not only did the formula
alter the Doctor' s emotional state but it also caused an
Instant, dramatic physical transformat ion as well. Vargos
found himself Itansformed, not unlike "Doct or leckIe and
Mr. Hyde", from a small, physically unimpressive man
into a hany, muscular giant of a man; rippling with power
and primal aggression. The formula amplified the sub-
merged anger and frustration the introverted doctor had
fearfully kept submerged inside all his life. Now with
his new, power ful body (and stimulated hostility) he no
longer had to play the subm issive little man t OO respec t ful
to even argue effectively. This wa s the new DoclOr Vargos
who woul d show his colleag ues that he was not a helples~
pawn to be used and abused then discarded with the rest
of the Hash.
At this point nobody In New Haven knows of the
Doctor's formula or his plans for revenge. Vargos doesn't
resem the superh eroes or Hamm et Dash, but he does
hate many of his rude, arrogant colleagues who have mani-
pulated him, thwarted his re search, stolen his ideas and
trealed him with contempt. With the exception of kindly
old Doctor Von Croft (Vargo's dearest friend!, t he o t hers
will all pay. ALL! He will extract his vengeance by
sabotaging proj ec"'iS,""vandalizing labs and private residences,
physical beatings, terrorizIng by stalking and chasing people
and Ihen disappearing after leaving a trail of destruction.
Also by discr~diting fellow sciem i sl S, by framing them
f or c rimes and Indiscreti ons they didn't commit and to
even murder some of his most hated personal foes. A l though
Vargos Is a political buffoon in his normal form, he Is
very knowledgeable of Ihe In.fighting, games ami hostilities
among his colleagues. This knowledge will aid him greatly
in his crueler, bestial persona.
Authorities such as police, superheroes, robotS, or
anyone who opposes him will be deait with quickly as
an enemy or fool, although he is NOT likely t o int entionally
kill such people. Doctor Vargos, even in his more pr imal,
vindictive form , Is not a lTuly evil man but emot ionally
twisted and bitter. However, this anger doesn't go so
far as to prompt hIm to sabotage all of New Haven.
Indeed, In a severe c risi s, it Is very possible that the
Doc t or would come to New Haven's (or Doctor Von Cr oft ' s)
aid forsaking his secr et pr lmal-Id and the inevitable reper-
cussions of his criminal ac tivitie s (although he would try
to flee before being captured and brought to justice).
II 's im portant to not e that the physical transfor mation
is so dramatic that even the Doctor ' s f aci al f eatures.

has been Instilled "'lIh Nazi dOClrlne. The young Von
Geist read all he could about Hitler's Germany supple-
mented by his father's diary. He learned pll about t he
"master race~ and their belief that they we r e superior
to all others, menially. physically and socially; to that
end his father encouraged him to develop his body and
mind and to learn the piano. By the time he was ready
for college Von Geist had read dOlens of books on psy-
chology and philosophy, always proving t o himself the
inferlorlly of any other "'ay of Ilfe or manner of t hought.

yea rs ago. A freak mishap immobilized the subterranean
digger and killed all on board except fo r him. Trapped
miles below the planet' s surface, it pi aced itself In a
stasis field where it has lain dormant until recently dis-
covered by Tannr. With Tannr' s assistance It was able
to make Its way to the surface where It found the planet
to be inhabited by humans. Immediately an evil plan
was conceived to undermine the human race. The ext ra-
terrestrial was easily abie to convince Tannr of his people's

stand the rigors of space exploration, the frail human

with advanced robotics; c reating the ultimate cybor g.
The experime ms were perhaps tOO successful, for it c reated
a new type of crea ture, a creatur e tOO far removed from
the realm o f humani t y. The new life form soon proved
t o be superio r to Its creator In every way and although
these quasi-mechanoids were both loyal and benevolent ,
their presence Instilled only suspicion and hatred among
their human creators. Eventually the paranOia provoked
the humans to destroy that whi ch they had created. How-
ever. the new life fled; wracked in confusion and sorrow.
In a futile attempt to appease their creatOrs. the
new life gathered great knowledge from every corner
of their galaxy. They achieved In a few brief centuries
what man could nOt have attained in a thousand. During
that time they also made great strides in Improving both
cheir genetic and robotic slTucture. When they returned
home the new life appeared even more allen chan before
thei r departure and were greeted with horrendous animos-
ity. The agony of rejection, the fea r , the hatred, were
all magnIfied by their empathic nature and forever Ingrained
withi n the racial memory that would corrupt every Mechan-
oid to come. Eventually the humans and the new li fe
(Mechanoidsl clashed in a long and bloody battle that
saw the Mechanoid rise triumphant over the ashes of
its creatOrs. Human-kind had create<! them. deserted
them , and tried to destroy them; ye t it was they who
proved superior. No longer would they tolera te such degr a-
dation at the hands of infer io rs. The new life had been
inscilJed with a bloodlust that would never be scated.
The Mechanoid nightmare had begun.

Most th ings living and non-living have a Structural
Damage Capacity.
The 5.D.C, of objects and structures such as doors,
wal ls, &ares, tables, hand-c uffs, cars, et c. is the amount
of damage that the object can withstand. These S.D.C.

Non-Heroes and tile Untrained
Ordinary people ....ithout combat Hain lng such as
boxing, ....resiling or one of the hand to hand skills are
at a ddinite disadvantage In a combat situation. They
have only one attack or action per melee and do ~t
get an automatic parry attempt like heroes and combat
trained people. The player must announce whether the
character is attempting to parry or dodge; no announce·
ment means no parry or dodge. The only bonuses that
ma y apply to parry are from a possible weapon skIll
(W.P.) or from P.P. attribute bonuses. Lacking a skIll
at arms. any such defensive maneuvers count as an attackJ
action. This means that if the character attemptS to
parry or dodge he forfeits his next strike. To prevent
the lou of an attack the normal person must hold his
ground, take damage from the attack, and then strike
back.
Only superheroes, superviltains. and combat trained
indIVIduals get an automatic attempt to parT} an attack.
Like.....ise. only the~ gel an extra attack per melee and
additional attacks through hand to hand combat skills.
