Pic of the day

[nexus]

Just an idea for a thread. I like to take illustration and make up characters for them. In this thread, I'll post a pic (rotating them I don't fill my quota) and if anyone wants to they can do a write up based on the picture. Any point total, Hero or villain. I'll rep the best one. Hopefully some good characters will come out of it.

 

First off, something sort of patriotic.

 

Edit:Well, if you live in the US or another country with Red, White and Blue in its flag

Appearance: Personality: Mark is trying to live up to what he believes a super hero should be like.Quote:"In the name of Justice, halt villians!"Background: Mark Taylor was assigned to the Far East Sector as a non-official covert operative for the CIA. His last assignment for the agency had h im tracking an individual into Kai-Tak airport in Kowloon. Unfortunatly for Mark the target had set him up to be captured by a local powerful taipan who needed some information about current US activities. Mark was fed a cocktail of drugs to force him to divulge the information but as a side effect the cocktail reacted adversly with a health supplement that Mark had been taking. Mark began to sieze and eventually dropped into a coma. Left for dead in an ally by the members of the Shadow Taipan, Mark awoke to find that his body had undergone an amazing transformation. After Hollinger found out what had happened he forbade Mark from returning to any of the Far East areas for fear he might be captured again or go on a rampage against the organization. The CIA placed Mark on inactive duty in the interim that the figured out what they wanted to do with him. Mark took up his old codename of Patriot and moved to San Angelo to find the extent of his abilities and to continue to serve his country as best he can.Powers/Tactics: Flight: Motes of red, white, and blue lights drift down from him as he flies through the air. He flies be selectively created gravetic distortions around himself.Campaign Use:

Background Summary: The Master (Jeffery Hedgeworth) is the product of a conservative Christian home steeped in the traditional values of the American Midwest. Jeffery grew up in the late 20th century knowing his was “different†but never bold enough to experiment and find out just how. That is until he found the internet. Suddenly there was a place for him, safe, anonymous where he could explore the confused but compelling feelings inside him and become the person he truly was. Hedgeworth took the screen name “The Master†on several online chat rooms and adult MMORPGs, a consummate homosexual dominator and bondage play specialist. It was his secret world and his escape from the humdrum life of a married Midwestern accountant.

Eventually though, he became bored with this. Typing and a plain screen weren’t enough and, filled with self loathing and guilt, Hedgeworth arranged a meeting with one of his online clients, another bored young man of the opposite bent. It might be a cliché, but perhaps it really was a match made in Heaven. The two clicked instantly and had one long weekend of passionate, painful sex that changed their lives forever. Hedgeworth’s more than his partner’s though. He found himself in more ways than one while wielding a whip. Most Novas describe their Eruptions as painful and a few describe an incredible bliss and sense of freedom. For Hedgeworth is was both. Pain and pleasure were always one for him and now he practically embodied that principle and The Master was truly born.

Hedgeworth immediately understood what had happened to him. Using his new charisma and parlaying his new talents with the help of other “contacts†he’d made online, he open his own clubs across the country. Of course, he divorced his baseline wife with a generous alimony and child support arrangement as he wanted to take care of the responsibilities of his former life. He also bore his former family no ill will, despite the fact they publicly disowned him. He didn’t care one whit. It wasn’t like he needed them anymore. Today “The Master†is one of the more outspoken and controversial members of the Queen Nova Alliance, a consortium of Gay/Lez/Bi superhumans. He’s one of the founding members, yet has some views which are unpopular even among the group being almost militantly against “Straights†and “Prudes†and often vocally so. He’s done a few things to earn the QNA bad publicity in the past (such as “breaking in†the son of a prominent Southern Baptist preacher and parading him around a Gay Pride demonstration in a leather thong). There have been a couple of attempts on his life, but The Master considers it the price of being a “revolutionaryâ€.
