Voc Robots, Haemovores, Sutekh, Ice Warriors

Voc Robots

Voc Robots are simple automatons that can carry out varied tasks dependant upon their model.  There are three models of Voc Robot, Vocs, Dumbs and Super-Voc's.  Dumbs, usually black in colour, cannot speak and give acknowledgement to orders with a simple nod of the head.  Dumbs are programmed to recognise voice commands and are used for menial labour duties such as heavy lifting.  Vocs, usually green in colour, are the more common model and are capable of basic speech are can carry out more complicated tasks including the operation of vehicles and mining machinery.  The Super-Voc is a lesser known model, only available to governments and large corporations.  The Super Voc has a much more complex brain and is capable of unsupervised operation, self deduction.  The Super-Voc can easily take on the espionage roles usually posing as a Dumb.

Voc Robot designation is usually by the letter V, for Voc, or D, for Dumb, followed by a number.

Voc Robot programming is hardwired into their core build.  Re-programming a Voc is notoriously difficult.  However, the Voc Robots operating on the Mining Rig operating out of Kaldor City were reprogrammed by Taran Capel, a mad scientist who had grown up with and lived with robots all his life.  The murderous Robots killed most of the crew of the mining rig before Taran Capels plan was thwarted by the Doctor and Leela with the aid of the Super-Voc D84.

Haemovores

Haemovores are possibly the final evolutionary form of humans.  Haemovores come from millions of years in the future and are what is left of humanity after centuries of war an chemical fallout.  The most powerful of all Haemovoes is the Ancient One, the first of their kind.  When first transformed Haemovires keep some of their human qualities, but as the years pass they slowly deform, skin turning a pale blue and barnacle-like growths forming on their skin.  The Ancient One controls his kindred via telepathy and can choose to control them or destroy them at his will.  The Haemoves live in small communities at the bottom of oceans and have vampire-like powers, this includes a craving for other creature blood. 

TV appearance: The Curse of Fenric

Personality:  Haemovores have little self control, they obey the will of the Ancient One.  When the blood craving takes them they are roused into fierce combat.

Sutekh

Sutekh, also known in Egyptian mythology at Set, was god of winds and storms who became an evil spirit who brought destruction and disorder.  As his cults rose his supporters fought with those of Horus in a civil war.  Sutekh gained the title God of War.  He murdered his brother Osiris and was condemned to pull the sun disc Re's Solar across the sky every day until the end of time.  Sutekh is often seen with a dogs face and pointing tail.

The Osirans are, or were, power god-like being with tremendous power that humans could not possible comprehend.  Of the Osirans Sutekh was pure evil.  He destroyed worlds, and galaxies before the other Osirans led by Horus finally defeated him leaving him entombed on the planet that would become known as Earth.  In the Earth year 1920 Sutekh nearly managed to free himself from his eternal tomb only to be thwarted by the Time Lord known as The Doctor.  Sutekh was trapped in a time corridor where he finally died.

TV appearance: The Pyramids of Mars

Personality:  Sutekh is a megalomaniac.  His voice is smooth and calm, but his words are of hate and destruction.

Language:  any

Age:  n/a Sutekh lived for 7000 years in the time corridor but must have already been over 4000 years old by the time he battled The Doctor. 

Sutekh & Osirans in the Star Wars Universe

Sutekh could certainly have been in existence A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.  Physical combat with Sutekh would be impossible so any contest would be one of brains rather than brawn.

Sutekh skills

Sutekh is a god. 

See the Pharaonic Pantheon in the Dungeons & Dragons Deities and Demigods Sourcebook. The only adjustments needed would be to add technology based skills.  For D6, pretty much assume his Attributes are 20D and his skills a lot higher!

Ice Warriors

Ice Warriors hail from the planet Mars in the system of Sol.  The name Ice Warriors is not strictly correct but is a name that has stuck with them after their first meeting with humans.  Ice Warriors wear a turtle-like armour shell with an energy weapon attached to their forearm.  They are a warlike ace led by their Ice Lords.  Despite their aggressive nature Ice Warriors are not beyond political negotiation.

Ice Warriors speak in a rasping voice and have two large pincers for hands.  Their technology is highly advanced with scientists held in high esteem in their society.
