The Fusilier.

Is the gunmen of the team, trained in the use of pistols, shotguns and rifles, and the use of carbon ammunition.

Bullets are less effective against Aliens in their natural form, passing through their mist forms far too quickly to be effective. Guns using carbon based ammunition use rounds that are deliberately slow, the slower the better. This means they have a shorter range than conventional rounds, plus the carbon is no where near as effective against normal hard materials. The most effective guns against Aliens are shotguns and the specially made ‘powderguns’, which fire a vapourised cloud of carbon but they are very short ranged.

There is still a danger from natural enemies (other humans or animals), plus when the aliens are in ‘possession’ of a Host conventional bullets can be used to hinder the physical Host, inflicting damage on the Host body itself.

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

You begin with all the Basic Moves and Peripheral Moves and can select 2 of the following.

Battle instincts (roll+Spirit)

You are in tune with the battlefield, you can see what others cannot because you normally remain detached, distant. You gain +1 to Hardway and Take Cover moves.

Trick shot (roll+Rift/10)

You try to pull off a circus stunt, shooting a gun out of an opponent's hand, hitting a coin tossed in the air etc. This can be used to impress (Convince) or intimidate (Threaten) others. It may also be used to actually cause some interesting effect. The GM should lower their realism levels a degree for this act.

10+ It works exactly as planned, you generate +2 Forward for Convince or Threaten if taken immediately. You may generate some other amazing effect that was agreed to before the Move was taken and everyone is convinced you did it deliberately. You may select another player character and they cmay elect to take +1 History to you (as long as they saw it).

7-9 It works, but there are mixed feelings about it, you generate only +1 Forward for the next Convince or Threaten Move if taken immediately. You may generate some other amazing effect that was agreed to before the Move was taken, but most people think it was just a lucky shot.
