Valiant comics is doing some amazing stuff! Here is Ryan Danks’ version of Bloodshot, Project Rising Spirit’s greatest success and worst nightmare!

BLOODSHOT Real Name: Raymond Garrison Creation Pool: 20D RESISTANCES Composure 2D, Fortitude 4D, Reaction 4D, Will 2D APTITUDES Athleticism 3D (Specialties: Agility 4D), Fighting 3D, Shooting 3D (Specialties: Guns 4D) POWERS Nanite Blood: Super Running 2D (50 mph); Regeneration 1D; Minor Invulnerability 2D (Disease, Poison); Life Support 1D; Telepathy 2D (Boosts: Affects Electrical Devices; Complications: Limited Use - Electrical Devices Only; Touch Attack) ADVANTAGES Intimidating 1D, Is That Your Best Shot? 1D DISADVANTAGES Enemy 1D (Carboni Crime Family), Enemy 2D (Project Rising Spirit), Mental Hindrance 1D (Altered Memories), Social Hindrance 1D (Strange Looking) Design Notes I'm not as familiar with Bloodshot as I am the rest of the Valiant universe, and I know they changed him quite a bit during the reboot - this version is based on his Pre-Unity appearances. He gets built early on, despite my somewhat unfamiliarity, because I didn't want my first foray into regenerating and physically enhanced characters to be with iconic characters like Wolverine and Captain America (I feel more confident writing them up now, though). The system handles enhanced beings a little wonky (or, at least, not intuitively). Bloodshot should be able to have limited life support (goes without air for extended periods and can survive harsh temperatures), which includes against toxins and similar. Splitting that between Invulnerability and Life Support was odd. I'm not sure Bloodshot would have both, as his ability to withstand such things seems to be from the nanites reinforcing his body, which is already handled via Fortitude. But that's another area that feels odd at first, but I'm sure will begin to feel more comfortable as times goes on: Resistances take a lot of the work load for being enhanced human. Update I gave Bloodshot Regeneration at 1D because in his '90s version he would take quite a while to heal from wounds, like several scenes to even an entire adventure (like Wolverine before the movies gave him a power creep). This build now represents that level of ability. He still rolls every round, but he's only got around a 16% chance of successfully doing so each time, which means he can't heal more than 1D per round and he might not even do that, so he'll heal slower than other regenerating characters.

Pool 1D = 20D Equipment: Ballistic Helmet & Vest, 5.56mm M-4 Carbine with AN/PEQ-15 IR Designator, AN/PVS-15 Night Vision Binocular (See below for more details) This is an entry level Ranger, newly assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment, straight out of RASP I. As they progress in rank, certain Aptitudes will increase in rank. Officers and NCOs (Sergeants) will again additional Advantages (Intimidating, Leadership). Rangers severing in specialized positions (Medics, Forward Observers, Dog Handlers, Radio Operators, Signal Intelligence/SIGINT teams (called Operational SIGINT Teams/OST), will have additional Aptitudes as well (I can toss them in later if you guys like). For all you who like details, here's a bit on the gear carried by Rangers in the field. The M4 rifle is a shortened M16 carbine and is by far the most common weapon found in the hands of US forces today. Rangers carry the M4 and utilize the new SOPMOD 2 package, which includes the EO Tech 553 holographic reflex site, LA-5 infrared laser, foregrip, the M3X visible bright light (tactical light) and associated accessories. Also included is the Elcan Spector telescopic sight, which is adjustable from 1 power to 5 power via a throw lever on the side of the optic. While this is an interesting idea, nearly all Special Forces troops leave these sights in the card board boxes to collect dust and simply use the EO Tech 553. We felt that the Elcan was a little bit too much and perhaps over engineered. Now, if we had been facing long range engagements in Afghanistan, rather than precision raids in Iraq, maybe we would have felt differently. Along with the EO Tech, the LA-5 is much smaller than the PEQ-2 and together these are the most valued items in the SOPMOD kit. You can read more here - sofrep.com/army-rangers/weapons-gear/
