Shavada Demon R.C.C. |
By: Stephen W. Sangster (csangst@ibm.net)
Long before the Coming of the Rifts the Australian outback was a treacherous place for both aborigines and the explorers who roamed it's landscape. Unique and deadly creatures of all size and shape were encountered at every turn. When the mystical energy of the apocalypse tore across the land and dimensional rifts opened a door to every wasteland in the multiverse, the outback was transformed into an even deadlier and savage place.
From one these dimensional doorways came a race of beings that are a testament to the ingenuity of demonic evolution. The serpentine Shavada are true Demons in every sense, nomadic predators feeding on the suffering and death of their victims. Hunters and warriors, these creatures roam the Australian Outback as freelance mercenaries and practitioners of any other trade associated with death and war. Shavada Demons can always find a place in the ranks of pirates, bandits and cutthroats of all kinds, trading their combat skills for wealth, power and the chance to kill. The Shavada are P.P.E. vampires similar to psi-stalkers except they do not need any other nourishment, save for the agony of their prey. These demonic warriors are not completely single minded and can be used as player characters, but they will always seek out the field of battle, for Shavada are at home in the midst of chaos.
The Shavada came from a strange dimension where they have existed for eons upon a desolate world that is constantly raked by seasonal meteor showers. The hostile environment coupled with other demonic rivals, caused the serpentine Shavada to develop potent natural defenses. In combat Shavada demons use their unique body armour, magic, and incredible speed to great advantage, coming out of nowhere to strike at their unwary victims. Besides their significant natural abilities Shavada Demons are fond of using high-tech energy weapons, and bladed melee weapons of all kinds.
