Psi-Corps - mastering psionics in hidden temples, using large force fields to protect them from radiation
Cartography Guild - mappers, also spies, scouts, infiltration missions
Tri-unity Foundation - believe in human freedoms, and seek to improve humanity, and medicine, they support advanced mutant slaying techniques- however they dislike mutants, esp psionics
Ethereal Caste - a religious movement bent on a crusade to unite humanity in peace without war, however believe in the diabolical meaning of ‘the greater good’ and would sacrifice thousands to achieve in - few human rights, esp women’s rights, but they assist the common man and force them to war in a patriotic fervor.
Thieves Guild - a place where thieves and mutants go in order to turn their talents towards helping the government or corporations, as opposed to helping themselves.
Mutant Hunters Guild - trying to cleanse the human gene seed by destroying all mutants of category 4 or higher
Mutant Danger Scale
1 - Human
2 - Human Subrace

Battle Basics:
The battle system will be a special form of call-and-response that gives a very high level of freedom to the players. In this battle system, the player has a statistic called "Action Points," originally used in a W40k roleplaying system called "Inquisitor." In this system, the player says what they want to do, the DM decided the number of action points required and the rolls needed to succeed the action, and the consequences of failure, if applicable.
Here's an example:
A player is playing as an outcast, wielding a shotgun. He is next to a doorway (without a door.) He wants to roll out from behind the wall, fire into the hallway, and then end up on the other side of the doorway behind the other wall. This would take 3 action points: 1 to roll, 1 to aim, and one to fire. The aiming step is not nessecary, but it gives a considerably higher chance of hitting the opponent; however, the outcast would probably choose to skip the aiming step and instead use his 3rd action point to use the pump-action device at the front of the shotgun, simply because the scatter of the shotgun would cause less of a need for aiming.
Also, upon dismal failure of a critical roll, the DM can change what happens. For example:
A player tries to jump a gap. He fails his roll, but since the DM and the player don't want the character to die, the DM decides that the character can drop his weapon in order to grab onto the edge of the cliff with one hand, where he can pull himself up with the resulting adrenaline rush.
Also, any action points not used during the turn can be used on your opponents turn for dodging.

Stat Explanations:
Starting stats: 2d4 each. If your total doesn't add up to 16 or greater, then you may reroll everything.
Strength: For every 2 points of strength, add +1 to non-gun damage. For every 3 points, add a +1 bonus to non-gun accuracy. For every 10 points, add +1 action point.
Dexterity:
-No Armor: For every 2 points of Dex, add +1 to AC. For every 6 points, add 1 action point. For every unused action during an opponent's turn, add +.2 to AC for dodging per point of Dexterity.
-Light Armor: For every 2 points of Dex, add +1 to AC. For every 7 points, add 1 action point. For every unused action during an opponent's turn, add +.15 to AC for dodging per point of dexterity.
-Medium Armor: For every 3 points of Dex, add +1 to AC. For every 10 points, add 1 action point. For every unused action during an opponent's turn, add +.1 to AC for dodging per point of dexterity.
-Heavy Armor: No bonuses, but when you're so well armored, who needs speed?
Constitution: For each point of constitution, add 2 HP. For every 3 points of constitution, add a +1 bonus against attacks that would cause you to be pushed back or knocked down. For every 10 points, gain +1 damage reduction.
Intelligence: Specific stats will be described at a later date.
Intelligence also affects what the character sees or thinks of, ex: you are a spy, and you and your party are fighting in an underground bunker with some bandits. As your friends fight it out, you notice a lightswitch. You whisper for your mage, who is casting outside of the fray, to hit it as you put on your nightvision goggles. As soon as he does this, you stab your opponents in the back and leave them bleeding on the floor. In a nutshell: if your character has a high Int, the DM will give them more options.
If the stats aren't balanced, they can be adjusted later.

Psi-monks: These fighters wear no weapons and little, if any, armor. They use their psionic abilities to fight. Can use psionic weapons, psionic armor, telekinesis, telepathy, drain magic, and other psionic abilities. Gain 2 psionic mutations for free.
Warrior: These are fighters who use blades and wear armor. They can learn magic... a little. Rules concerning armor, dual-wielding, shields, two-handed weapons, and any other combat aspect will be outlined later. They have no training with guns, giving them a -5 accuracy penalty to use them.
Rogue: These are Dexterity-based fighters, usually using light, concealable weapons and light armor. Can only use small weapons like daggers and pistols. Can only wear light armor. Cannot deal with large amounts of gun recoil unless trained to. Cannot wield shields.
Gunman: These fighters prefer to use guns over blades, and dexterity over strength. They have been trained to deal with the recoil and to aim them accurately. They can wear light or medium armor. They are the only class that actively wields guns, and can wield guns, blades, gunblades, guns with bayonnets, or any combination of guns and blades you can think of. Cannot wield shields.
Engineer: These clever mechanics can create weapons, armor, ammo, devices, and robots to fight with. They cannot use shields and are limited to light armor. They start with engineer's tools, which count towards the weight they can carry. Can have 1 major robot (It is the engineers continued work to create this robot, which is like a pet.), and there is no limit to minor robots (smaller robots that aren't as important, and are usually specialized for specific situations); however, the minor robots must be carried and therefore they have a strength requirement. Mechanized limbs count as minor robots. Can wield guns, but prefer to make their own.
Pariah: This is a mutant only class, for mutants with special magical abilities other than psionics. Gain 2 free magic mutations, but must take at least 2 drawbacks and can take other beneficial mutations to counteract them.

Spell and Action System:
Just like players can create their own attacks, players create their own spells and choose their own special actions. Here's how it works:
For spells, if a player wants to do a certain thing with their magic, they'll tell the DM what they want to do and then the DM will set a number of MP, actions required, and the damage/effectiveness. Then, as the player casts the spell more and more, it will level up, becoming more powerful. This allows for creativity and experimentation.
Example: A mutant with chaos magic decides he wants to cast a spell that sends forth a beam of chaos that will damage its foe. The DM assigns a number of MP required (let's say... 1), a number of action points (1), and assigns its effectiveness (1d3 damage). After a player successfully casts this spell 10 times, it levels up to require 2 MP, 1 AP, and do 1d3+2 damage. After 20 more times, it levels up again and requires 3 MP, 1 AP, and does 1d4+4 damage.
Then, if a player wants to implement this spell to influence objects, say... to shoot the ceiling and cause it to collapse upon a foe, then this would become a new spell, that influences objects instead of enemies. It would start out requiring 1 MP, 1 AP, and have a DC for the desired effect. As it leveled up, it could be used on more objects and in more ways with more chances of success.
A similar principle applies to actions. If a character, say, wants to do a wall run, then the DM would assign requirements for doing this (only light armor with a one-handed weapon or a gun that can be held easily in one hand, whether you can fire it with 1 hand or not). Then the DM would assign an AP requirement (2), and a chance of success. As the player did this more and more, the chance of success would increase, and eventually it would only take 1 AP.
Then if a player wants to, say, push off the wall at the end of the run, do a flip for dramatic effect, fire while he's upside down above his opponent, and land on the other side of his opponent, this would take an additional 2 AP (3 if aiming is involved, though at really close range, it would not give that much more of a chance of success, though it would give a much better chance of hitting the head as opposed to the shoulders or other body parts) and have a chance of success for the push and flip, and for the landing. Then, if a player succeeds at the push enough times, the chance of success becomes better, and the more a player lands on his/her feet in any situation, the better the chance to land on his/her feet in this scenario becomes.
This principle also applies to special attacks, such as an attack directed at pushing or tripping your opponent.
All of this provides low-level players to improvise and use their character's (and their own) intelligence to give them an edge, and it gives high-level characters the ability to do crazy Matrix-style battles that would be really cool to imagine.

Special Battle Elements:
Shields:
-Add to AC
-Cannot dual-wield, cannot wield 2-hand weapons
-Cannot do certain actions requiring a free hand
Two-hand wielding of one-hand melee weapons:
-gain x1.5 strength bonus to damage and accuracy
-can switch to and from a one-hand melee grip with 1 action
Dual Wielding:
-Off-hand weapon has a 50% accuracy penalty for non-spies. For each level gained after the first, add a 5% bonus to accuracy until it reaches the same accuracy as the primary weapon. Since spies are extremely well trained and only use light weapons, this penalty does not apply for them; they are considered ambidextrous.
-Both weapons can attack the same target with 1 AP, or different targets for 2 AP.
-Aiming works the same way: 1 AP if they both target the same thing, 2 AP if they both target different things. You can take the option of only aiming one.
Aiming:
-doubles accuracy bonus for 1 AP
-Ensures hitting a stationary target
Taking multiple attacks in one turn:
-1 AP per attack except at DM's transgression
-if they are against the same target, then it only requires aiming once, which allows you every attack with your normal bonus (not doubled)
-if there is no aiming, then each attack vs the same target is taken without an acc bonus
-if they are vs different targets, then there is a cumulative -2 penalty for each other target (first attack=no bonus, second attack=-2, third attack=-4, etc.) Each attack must have its own aim step if aiming is involved. If you do 1 attack vs 1 target and 3 vs another, then you must still aim all 4 attacks, not just 2, because the action would be really complicated.
-Special attack moves involving multiple attacks will be given appropriate chances of success, special effects, and damages by the DM.
Combining Actions:
-each action has its own chance of success, assigned by the DM which can be influenced for better or worse by the other actions.
-each action has its own required AP, which can be influenced for better or worse by the other actions.
Improvising:
-Interaction with the environment is encouraged; however, your character must be deemed intelligent enough to do the action that you want them to do.
-Using weapons based on what is available from this environment is also allowed, though they'd probably be unwieldy and incur accuracy penalties. The DM will set the damage they deal.
-In order to interact with the environment, a player must look around at his environment at some point that he/she is in said environment. During a battle, this would take 1 AP.

Each class can have 2 layers of armor, which differ accordingly for each class. If 2 types of armor from different armor types are used (ex: 1 light and 1 medium), then the armor is treated as the heavier armor type. A good example of 2 layers of armor would be for a Gunner:
Inner Layer: Mesh Armor (Light)
Outer Layer: Overcoat (Light)
Armor Stats:

The strength requirements do stack, so the Gunner mentioned earlier would need to have enough strength to carry the combined total of both layers of armor. Furthermore, it also stacks with weapons and equipment, requiring the player to choose wisely what he wields.

Cybernetic Implants:
Due to the fact that there are a ridiculously large number of possible implants, the PC's can decide what exactly they want and the DM will make the cost, implant save, crafting checks, effect, etc.
*Body Repair Weave: This device consists of nanobots that repair one's flesh. Allows most people to gain back health at twice the normal rate. (4 per hour instead of 2)
Example Implants:
Replacement organs
Replacement limbs
Extra organs
Extra limbs
Memory Storing Devices
Recording and Surveilance devices (eyes in the back of your head twisted )
Implanted weapons
Implanted armor
Enzyme Creating Devices
Other Implanted Devices

Like I've said before, I think there should be some form of factions, and bonuses for each one. Say, the rebels have a larger ability to get illegal weapons, there's better mages in the empire, ECT. Era. blaugh
