Ok, so now that I've had a chance to read the RIFTS ultimate edition regarding cyborgs, I'm going to go with the full conversion, since it says that a cyborg still has the head/face and a few other features of the flesh-and-blood body, which would mean that the minotaur can remain appearing as a minotaur. That's all I really wanted. I'll roll up my stats shortly, as I read more.
EDIT - here we go... I just roll up the mental stats, apparently, when I'm playing a cyborg. Boo, hiss! So much for all of the good Minotaur stats.
Hey Tom, how about raising the starting/minimum PS on my bionics to make up for the loss?
Anyway, here's my 2D6 rolls for IQ and MA:
I got a 10 and an 11
bonus roll for the 11 = 5
I think I'll put the high one on IQ! With the +1, that gives me a total IQ of 17 and an MA of 10.
And now my 3D6 roll for ME:
I rolled a 12
And here's my rolls for SDC and PPE, respectively:
10 on SDC x100 = 1000, and 6 PPE
Finally, here's my roll for Bionics upgrade funds:
I rolled 14 on 3D6, giving me 14000 for upgrades
That's it for now... I'll post with more in a bit!
Edit: The character sheet is now complete. Here's the background:
Karsh was born in captivity, one of the many Minotaur slaves of the Splugorth on Atlantis. He never knew his homeworld, nor did he spend much time with his parents, who died when he was still young, and knows little of his own origins. He grew up exceptionally large and strong, and was thus chosen to be a pit-fighter. Over the years, Karsh's masters have made him battle many other beings in the Pits, slowly replacing injured parts of his body with bionic upgrades, until he was more machine than Minotaur. Then, a number of years ago, while being moved along with several other combat slaves to an Atlantean border colony, Karsh and his fellow pit-fighters were unexpected freed when a Coalition naval expedition struck the Atlantean convoy. Escaping in the chaos, Karsh made his way to the mainland. Knowing how to do little other than fight, Karsh has been working as a mercenary ever since. His American isn't perfect, and he tends to stick to the harsh lingo of his mercenary pals. He is crude, gruff, tough, cigar-smoking and battle-hardened... in short, a military man through and through.
Karsh has spent most of the past 10 years wandering the North American continent, seeking mercenary work wherever he can find it. He's always avoided the Coalition states, since he's heard bad things about it... but he'll pretty much work anywhere, for anyone. He's learned to do most of his own maintenance, and can find scrap parts just about anywhere... his missle-launcher arm is a result of his own handywork (which is why he doesn't have a hand there... just a small clamp/claw on the top of the barrel!). In recent months, Karsh has been making his way through the Great Lakes country, working for Canadian Rangers, and is now journeying southwards, into the old US. (this leads to him possibly being in the city of WyNeKota).
