Narrative Hook: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Nearly Done For. You nearly died, or the jig was almost up when the tide turned and someone from the Tomorrow Legion rescued you, which leaves you in their debt.
Armour: 1d20 ⇒ 1
You may trade the starting armor from your Iconic Framework for any other body armor (not power armor or robot vehicle). If this is not your first roll, apply all other results from rolling on this table to your newly chosen body armor.
Experience and Wisdom: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Life on the road, in the wilderness, and wandering the streets of the cities that remain gave your character special insight and some key experience with a particular calling. You may give her one Professional Edge, ignoring requirements, so long as it makes sense and the GM agrees with it.
Psionics: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Your psionicist gains either the New Powers Edge or one power chosen from the Mind Melter's list (Rank permitting).
MARS Fortune and Glory: 1d20 ⇒ 16
