Night Fury
Back in the early 21st century there was a series of computer animated films and television shows that captivated the minds and hearts of a generation. This particular franchise lasted for many years but the effect it had on one young woman would lead to something miraculous and lead the way to change the world forever.
A young girl from the Philippines was absolutely enthralled by the series, and despite coming from a poor family, was brilliant beyond measure. Her intellect allowed her to win scholarship after scholarship and her education as paid for. At the tender age of ten, she graduated high school and by the time she turned eighteen. She was quickly snatched up by a fledgling bioengineering firm out of Tokyo and went to work. This firm was one of the first to ever delve into genetic engineering and this young woman had a talent unseen anywhere.
That's right folks! The evil children chosen by Krampus to further his Campaign of Yuletide Terror, statted out for your enjoyment and employment [demons don't really pay close attention to child labor laws]. And these poor kids might welcome a break from the routine at the Arkhangel Sanitarium for Troubled Minors. A day or two before Krampusnacht, the big, hairy demon-guy visited the fun-house and pllaced lumps of coal in several stockings. When they four children found there, they were changed and infused with demonic energy.
You can use the Kinder as BASHKrampusnacht: Night of the Krampus Script suggests, or however you like in your old games. Character briefs for each of them is provided in the Script, though, so go on over and check that out. Something I probably should have said in the Script post but didn't - you can pretty easily swap any of the Kinder over to the good side and vice versa. Just mess with the character briefs a bit and you are good to go. So if you have a player who can't get into playing any of the Forgotten Children, go ahead and give them the chance to pick one of the Kinder instead. Of course, they will be a hero and one of the Forgotten Children, and you can fill out the ranks of the Kinder with the hero Datafile that did not get chosen.
While we are on the subject - if youw ant to do a little more heavy lifting, go ahead and use the Datafiles over here, modified as necessary, as options for a picky Forgotten Child player, or however else you see fit. Drea could easily be a Forgotten Child with a coloring book instead of body ink. Mondragon could be a martial arts/ secret agent-y spy-kid. You get the idea, just ignore the images [or ask nice and I will be happy to send you .doc format versions you can mess with.
Finally, I used some powers from Awesome Powers: Mental Powers for Grim. This is a terrific resource and inexpensive. For each power I borrowed from it, I have listed the base powers or the one closest to it from BASH UE2, in case you don't have Awesome Powers.
Next UP? The Big Bad Himself - Krampus! Along with his minions!

Magazine capacity: 756 (total of 21 bursts)
Inherit Accuracy: -3
Base Damage: 1d2 (per round, per burst so a 36 round burst will do 36d2)
Condition Level Damage Resistance: +2 to all saving throws, suffers 1 condition levels less damage if saving throw fails. +4 to saving throws involving thermal damage and if the roll fails the weapon takes 2 condition levels less damage.
Possible Accessories:
- Reflex Sight: A sight that can be added to the weapon. It uses a holographic red dot that gives the weapon an additional +2 to hit.
- Assault Scope: This adds a medium range scope to the weapon, reducing the range penalties
Rate of fire: Single shot, burst or Rapid fire.

- Extended Drum Magazine: increases the ammunition capacity to 250 rounds, adds 5 lbs. weight to the weapon.
- Holographic Decoy: This device is attached to the side of the weapon and by using a combination of a camera, holographic projector and computer system, it can take a holographic image of the user and project it up to 150 feet from the users position, as long as there is line of sight. The computer will compensate for terrain and other factors to ensure that the projected ‘decoy’ appears as real as possible. The decoy will move, appear to fire, and perform other actions.
- Match Barrel: Increases the range of the weapon by 50% and adds +1 to overall accuracy.
- Tech Scope: This scope does not have any zoom capability and as such does not reduce the penalties when used in ranged combat. It does have the ability to spot thermal signatures and as such will spot targets that are camouflaged, hidden by conditions like fog and smoke, and even see through thin walls such as wood or drywall.
- Improved Blowback System: Reduces recoil penalties by 50% (see Wisdom from the Wasteland issue 43: Optional Combat Rules 2 for more information).
