HIT Mark X – “The Invisible Soldier”
NPC · Mage
Today’s standard HIT Mark model, the Mark X looks like an ordinary human who’s strong, fast, and extremely deadly, with a limited face-shifting ability that allows it to make cosmetic changes to its features, gender, and skin tone. Without internal examination or magick, a Mark X remains indistinguishable from a muscular, if somewhat taciturn, human being. Such machines are no better at social banter than any previous HIT Mark model, but they’re smart enough to know how to conceal this weakness; given the decline of social graces in recent years, such concealment isn’t difficult.
Like its previous iteration, the HIT Mark IX, the newer model X employs a complex integration of nanotech and lab-grown organic tissue which creates a literally flexible bio-machine. To counteract the Paradox issues of earlier iterations, the newest HIT Marks are more like super-soldiers than death-dealing war machines. Even so, they’re exceedingly effective and can take a lot of punishment.

Beyond the usual sensory array of previous models, the Mark X has
