Splicer.



Background.

Splicers were the first biological experiments on humans in an attempt to create super soldiers before the Great war, the research was originally carried out by Med-Tek. Before the government cut funding and handed the contract to West-Tek. Who had recently perfected the Forced Evolutionary Virus. Despite the lack of government funding Med-Tek continued its research underground using political prisoners and death row inmates, when the medtek research laboratories entered Forced lockdown all splicers were put into cryogenic storage. As the laboratories began to open splicers were released into the wasteland, part man part machine these cyborgs were designed to be the ultimate stealth soldiers fitted with rudimentary cloaking devices and rapid release concealed arm blades, and quickly adapted to life in the savage wasteland.
