Background
Thomas Nielson was accepted into the FBI at the age of 22, right out of college. While in the FBI, Nielson developed superior firearm skills and learned the secrets to successful interrogation tactics. By that time, Thomas had already begun drinking heavily and his performance in the field kept him from moving up in the FBI. His alcoholism eventually cost him his job at the FBI at the age of 25. At that time, Thomas sought help for his addiction through the Alcoholics Anonymous group. While attending the AA meetings, he met the love of his life, Sarah, and asked her to marry him a few months after they met. They worked on their addiction together and both were happily married for several years. Thomas felt his life was finally turning around and he was quite happy. After successfully kicking his alcoholism, he was accepted by a high-ranking political figure to serve as his personal bodyguard.
Unfortunately, Sarah developed pancreatic cancer and passed away two years after they had gotten married. Thomas once again felt lost. He once again resorted to the bottle, trying to find some answers. He left his job as a bodyguard and become a shut-in. He felt numb and knew he would eventually die alone in the very house him and Sarah had had so many great memories in.
And then, something peculiar happened. A letter had been slipped under his door in the middle of the night. It offered him a new position at an agency called "Oblivion". He didn't really care what the position entailed. He would take it. He had to get out of this house so he could escape the painful memories. But he wouldn't stop drinking. He probably never would.

Background
Nakamura Sei has had a stable upbringing with two loving parents and two siblings, an older sister and younger brother. Her mother represented Japan as an Olympian. Nakamura tried to emulate her mother's legacy by training hard in the martial arts often to the detriment of her studies. Her successes as an athlete have played a part in her overconfidence and arrogant attitude – especially where fighting is concerned (coupled with her relatively young age). The agency's talent scouts spotted Nakamura's potential over many competitive events, and recruited her.
Gear
- Knife
- Flash-light
- One of Jack's 'special devices' (maybe some kind of tracer we could plant on the target?)
- Climbing apparatus: "Suction cups"
1 Resource Point for Special Training (GM's choice)
2 Resource Points to be used by the team for special situations

Playing the Game
Wild Cards
All Player Characters (PCs) are known as Wild Cards (WCs) in Savage Worlds. There are also certain Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that are also WCs.
WCs are special in that they get to roll a Wild Die on skill and attribute tests and also get Bennies.
Skill and attribute test
When a WC needs to roll a skill or attribute test, they will roll the appropriate attribute/skill die, AND a d6 (the wild die). The highest die is the one that is counted.
If either die rolls the highest number (ie, a 6 on a d6) it is said to have 'aced'. It is rerolled until it no longer shows the highest number. All results are added together to get the final value. On the die roller, use 1dxrr[x], where x is the die type to take care of this automatically.
Most tests are against a Target Number (TN) of 4. Fighting tests are made against the target's parry.
Combat
Combat order, or Initiative, is tracked through the use of cards. Each round of combat, you will receive a new card. Cards are resolved Ace down to Deuce, with ties resolved in reverse suit order.
Jokers are special. The recipient of a Joker gets to act whenever they want in the round, and get +2 to all tests, and +2 to damage.
In combat, you can make a movement action and one standard action without penalty. You may make additional standard actions at a cumulative -2 (ie, if you want to Taunt, Attack, and another action, it would be -4 to all rolls). You cannot make the same action twice in a round (ie, you can only make one fighting or shooting attack per round).
Resource Management
Agents begin with 4 Resource Points at the start of each mission.
One resource point can be expended for 4 Equipment picks, 1 Perk, or 1 Single Use Device (SUD). Two resource points can be expended for 1 spytech or special training selection.
You may request items during a mission by spending your resource points. This can be done by either making a Field Requisition, or a declaration. If a declaration is made, the agent must spend double the requisition points. Both require a successful tradecraft roll.
Equipment picks - for each resource point spent, you get 4 equipment picks. For example, you can select a pistol (with 4 clips) for 1 equipment pick. 4 additional clips would cost 1 equipment pick.
Gear list
Alright, let's make this as easy as I can without breaking copyright.
Guns are defined as small, medium, large caliber. You can flavor them how you wish - I just need to identify the caliber to give you the statistics. If you want a special add-on (ie, scope, laser sight) that's another point.
Anything else you can think of also counts as an equipment pick.
I will provide all players with a secure comlink and basic body armor (stats to follow).
In looking at the spycraft/SUD stuff, I think most of it is a bit far-fetched for our setting. There are some special training things that can work though (these are basically temporary edges). So, if there's something you'd like, let me know and I can work that out.
Perks:
Cover Identity
Disguised Gear
Emergency Contact
Modified Rounds
Bennies
Each character starts play with 3 Bennies.
Bennies can be used to re-roll trait tests (including wild die), and you keep the 'better' roll.
Bennies can be spent to immediately eliminate a shaken condition.
Bennies can also be used to Soak damage. If you're hit and take damage, you can choose to spend a Benny to make a Vigor roll. For each Success (TN 4) and Raise (multiple of 4 above TN) you "Soak" that many wounds.
