Alpha Omega
This page is for players in MJ12's Alpha Omega game. Players should put their characters on the wiki and link them below.
Houserules
All player characters start with double starting cash (i.e. 5,000 T). It should be enough to get a decent weapon or two, a not-bad set of armor and some ammo. Windfall cash bonuses are also doubled.
All armor has its Melee Kinetic DT and DR increased by 2 each if it possesses either. This is due to the extreme prevalence of armor penetration on melee weapons. Finally, crossbows don't do more damage, at a longer range, than most shotguns, while at half the price. These changes should be reflected in your character stats.
Hollow-point/AP ammunition cost 100% more per round instead of 1T more per round.

Rifles
Raust AK-112
It's been over 300 years since the first AK-47 was built, but something like a few nuclear wars, aliens appearing, and three generations of science haven't made it any less deadly. The Raust AK-112 is based on the AK-47 but chambers common 7mm rifle ammunition instead of the now rarer 7.62mm. Great for anyone who needs a rifle but can't spring for something expensive.
