The Carbonier.

The Carbonier is skilled at melee, and using ‘carbon’ based weapons, using them to actually slay the Aliens.

Most of these carbon weapons are simply traditional melee weapons made of carbon, providing a large carbon surface area to interact with the Aliens body. Carbon bullets hurt an Alien but most of the time they will pass through it very quickly and yield a weak result. Melee weapons, such as a sword or glaive ensure a very large area of contact that will pass through at slower speeds and provide a much better yield.

The Carbonier (a pun on carabinier) is the melee expert of the team, trained in all forms of close combat using carbon or steel based weaponry.

When a conflict occurs between you and anything else, that involves melee and who goes first, the GM will always decide in your favour.
