Stats
Efter Wulf, Middenface is Johnny Alpha's closest pal and ally, the two havin' claimed mair than a few norms together in ra mutant uprisings. It's nae surprise then that he is another wan ae the maist powerful characters in the game. No one other than Wulf could take Middenface in a square go which means he kens how tae hand oot the lumps! He's puir solid and kin take a bit of fair o' a doin'. Middenface is a bit mair gallus wi' a gun than Wulf but his weapon is puir mince at long range which is a bit o' a scunner. Skills & Special Abilities
Brawler: Middenface loves a guid rammy and has the chance of counter-attacking any malky comin' his way. Any bampot acting like a wide-o an' tryin' tae have a square go wi' him may get a guid skelpin' first!
Heid-Butt (aka "Glesga kiss"): A puir brilliant thematic ability, this allows Middenface tae stick the heid oan his opponents, his bony-heided lumps dishin' oot extra injuries or stuns as desired!
Berserker: Just like Wulf, when hit, Middenface goes heavy radge an' kin ignore the first wound taken.
Tactics for playing Middenface
Play Middenface in a similar way that you would Wulf, up
close and personal is where he is best; if he is in short range you are probably as well charging him into close combat as it makes it harder for opponents to target him. If he is already in cover, shooting at enemies is a perfectly reasonable way to play Middenface as he uses his gun as much as his fists in the strip. Nothing short of Aimed Shots will do if you're firing him at long range!

Overall
Middenface is powerful but plays in a similar fashion to Wulf, both in stats and in special rules; you may want to consider using one or the other in your scenarios. That said, Middenface with Johnny and Wulf make a potent team for 50 Notoriety; Middenface and Wulf would be able to spearhead any attacks while Johnny backs them up with his firepower. Be wary of blast weapons if you have them fighting as a pack. Those T-weapons could take all three down in one attack!
Optional Homebrew Rules
'Mon Then!: Even when he is caught in a corner, Middenface doesn't know how to shut his geggie, routinely challenging opponents in a dialect that confuses friends and foes alike! Every time Middenface activates (even if he is Pinned), make a Cool test. If a special result comes up, Middenface launches into some "Glesgae banter" or "a wee sing-song"; roll a single die again to see if anyone is so distracted and bemused that they effectively become pinned, consulting the following table.
Hit: No effect.
Armour: Ya wee dancer! The closest enemy is Pinned

Fancy A Wee Bevvy?: Middenface is partial to the odd "wee dram". To reflect this in the game, when Middenface is on your team, one of your Armoury cards will be a "Bottle of Mac-Mac". Deal this to the player first, shuffle the pack and deal out the remaining cards as usual but the Mac-Mac card must be one of your picks from what is available. Note that if any other characters have this ability, it is not cumulative (meaning you can only be dealt one Bottle of Mac-Mac card in the Set Up).
