COMBAT TRAINING: BELLICAUST HAS UNDERGONE MODERATE COMBAT TRAINING, IN ORDER TO HELP HIM CHANNEL HIS VIOLENT, BEZERKER IMPULSES. ONLY MODEST ATTACK BONUSES ARE GAINED FROM THIS TRAINING (+1 CS FIGHTING ATTACKS WITH EDGED OR BLUNT WEAPONS) THOUGH IF BELLICAUST SUFFERS A STUN SHOCK AFTER MORE THAN HALF HIS HEALTH HAS BEEN DEPLETED, HIS IMPULSES WILL OVERRIDE HIS TRAINING, AND HE WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO USE WEAPONRY, AND ENTER A VIOLENT, BEZERKER RAGE, WHICH OFFERS +1CS TO ENDURANCE, -1CS AGILITY AND FIGHTING, AND -1CS INTUITION. ONLY THROUGH DIRECT INTERVENTION FROM HIS EXPER-MINDER, MORNINGSTAR, CAN CONTROL BE RE-ASSERTED.

HYPERSENSITIVITY: BELLICAUST SUFFERS FROM UNDER-DEVELOPED OR MUTATED SENSORY ORGANS, WHICH ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. WITHOUT HIS HELM, HE IS RENDERED NEARLY INCAPACITATED FROM PAIN AND DISORIENTATION, AND WILL ONLY PERFORM DEFENSIVE ATTACKS. THE HELM CAN BE REMOVED BY APPLYING A SINGLE OR GROUP RED ATTACK FEAT(S) CAUSING MORE THAN 50 PTS OF DAMAGE SIMULTANEOUSLY. HOWEVER, WHILE THE HELM IS WORN, BELLICAUST REMAINS HYPERSENSITIVE, AND CAN PERCEIVE MOTION, SOUNDS, VIBRATION AND OLFACTORY INPUT WITH REMARKABLE RANK AND RANGE.

HYPERLEAP: BELLICAUST HAS BEEN TRAINED TO MAKE IMPRESSIVE LEAPS, BOTH AS DEFENSIVE ESCAPE STRATEGY, AND AS AN OFFENSIVE ATTACK, WHEREBY HE LEAPS UP AND THEN INTO A STRIKE, WHICH ADDS +2CS DAMAGE TO HIS NORMAL ATTACK (WEAPON OR PHYSICAL) AND FORCES A STUN/SHOCK SAVE FROM THE TARGET. IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ATTACK, HE MUST MAKE A GREEN AGILITY FEAT.

DIGGING: BELLICAUST'S HANDS ARE TAPERED AND FLANGED, ALLOWING FOR AGRESSIVE DIGGING CAPABILITY, THROUGH MOST MATERIALS. HE CAN BURROW AT INCREDIBLE RANK AND MATERIAL STRENGTH, AT TYPICAL RANGE, WHEN HIS GLOVES ARE REMOVED.

[P]SCYTHE ATTACK: BELLICAUST'S [P]SYTHE IS AN EDGED WEAPON THAT CHANNELS RESIDUAL PSYCHIC ENERGY FROM HIS RAPPORT WITH MORNINGSTAR. AS SUCH, ON A SUCCESSFUL STRIKE, HE CAUSES REMARKABLE EDGED WEAPON DAMAGE, AS WELL AS EXCELLENT RANK PSYCHIC ATTACK, FORCING THE OPPONENT TO MAKE A PSYCHE FEAT TO REMAIN FUNCTIONAL. AS A SIDE EFFECT, MORNINGSTAR SUFFERS TYPICAL RANK DAMAGE EVERY TIME THIS ATTACK IS USED.

DUAL MACE ATTACKS: BELLICAUST'S MACES ARE OF INCREDIBLE STRENGTH MATERIAL AND CAUSE REMARKABLE DAMAGE, EACH, AND CAN BE USE INDIVIDUALLY, OR COMBINED, ON A SINGLE TARGET WITH NO PENALTY. HE IS NOT TRAINED TO USE THEM ON DIFFERENT TARGETS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
In the TRDL universe, Bellicaust is believed to be a tamed or enslaved lesser demon, under the mental persuasion of another teammate, Morningstar. It is actually a severely psychologically injured bio-engineered soldier prototype that was being tested, and was believed destroyed. Much of his cognitive brain function was eliminated in the 'testing operation' which had amounted to trying to kill it with conventional weaponry, and eventually, when the test had gone awry and Bellicaust was killing the biolab's hired mercenaries, they used a cruise missile on him, and thought the problem was solved. However, the creature had burrowed underground and eventually escaped the weapons testing grounds. He was found in the Alpine forests of Switzerland, feeding on cattle, by Morningstar, a low-level ESPER and member of the newly formed Cabal, and immediately formed a psychic bond with her. He was groomed to take tactical commands from Morningstar, to function as an offensive member of the team, and underwent combat training to help control his bestial impulses. The helm was added to protect Bellicaust's sensory organs, which are highly sensitive and vulnerable. He does not physically see, per se, but follows a form of visual telepathy, linked directly to Morningstar's perceptions, so when she is incapacitated, Bellicaust is handicapped by vastly reduced sensory input. The physical appearance of the creature, including the gear and the ink, were Morningstar's touch.
