Ecology: C.H.A.R. are combat cyborgs created by the Buro at the Biomass Reprocessing Center located in the extra-dimensional realm known as the Netherworld. There, cybernetic implants, organic matter, demonic body parts and other items are combined to produce each C.H.A.R. Also included is a soul, damned to the Underworld for all eternity, but given to the Buro in exchange for certain "favors."
The C.H.A.R. are kept on hand as shock troops and are used to destroy targets that are not worth capturing in one piece. Wiped of almost all former memories, the C.H.A.R. exists only to destroy. It is said that there are many different types of C.H.A.R. cyborgs, each equipped with different types of Buro Arcanowave cybertechnology.
Personality/Motivation: Each C.H.A.R. is heavily conditioned to be loyal to the Buro before being sent out into combat. Any memories the implanted soul may have of its former life are removed, while sufficient neural implants ensure loyalty. The C.H.A.R. is full of rage and hate and is more than willing to wreck, burn, and devastate anything and everything they encounter.
Powers/Tactics: C.H.A.R. cyborgs have only a rudimentary concept of tactics. They are usually sent off alone and allowed to simply wreck havoc in an area before being recalled. C.H.A.R. tend to utilize their overwhelming firepower in combat, unleashing massive flame blasts on their targets before closing into hand-to-hand range.
Appearance: No two C.H.A.R. look exactly the same. Each is a tall, massive humanoid figure, encased in thick armor plating and intense supernatural flame. Their faces are obscured by the helmets they wear, although the C.H.A.R.'s blazing white eyes are easily visible.
Designer's Notes: This nightmarish combat machine could easily be used in any number of ways—with a little tweaking it could become an almost unstoppable demonic horror for a fantasy game, a cybernetic nightmare created by the forces of Demon in a super hero game or some sort of futuristic war machine for a Cyber Hero game. And, of course, one could use its original origin, where it is a terrifying combination of demonic parts and cyberware, built by scientists of the future to destroy threats from the past.
