He wears a costume, acts bad *** when in it, and is a gifted Detective. He's been active in Hudson City for a while now and does his best to stem the tide. He has made some spectacular hits and misses and has drawn the interest and ire of criminals and the Harbinger of Justice alike. He also has captured the imagination of an intreped reporter. A few years ago, one of his cases brought him into conflict with a "Crime Lord" who was attempting to raise an army of loyal warrior children by grabbing kids off the street and turning them into assassins. One of these children was saved by SE and now serves as his partner/student/sidekick Redwing.Personality/Motivation: Although his Street Eagle persona is grim and gritty, John is not. He is idealistic enough to think he's making a difference and to take on the training and partnership of a teenager. He looks after Redwing as if the boy was his own son; going so far as to use his front company to hire Redwing's father as a manager to better provide for them.Quote: John Bruce: "Well, this looks about right, Maclom, could you see if the deal is workable? We should be able to get this deal done soon, right?"

Street Eagle: "I told you I didn't want to see you back in Adonis' employ Dirk. *CRACK* I guess maybe this time you'll listen."Powers/Tactics: A decent hand to hand fighter, strong of body and fleet of foot. He has weapons in his utility belt to back him up.Campaign Use: Stock VigilanteAppearance: Dark gray costume with black boots, gloves, cape and cowl. On his chest is a golden eagle design. His utility belt is also gold. His cowl leaves his mouth and chin exposed.

Background/History: Redwing is a young African American youth who was taken at a young age and trained as something of a modern day ninja. He trained in combat, assassination, and espionage. He was one of the better students, athletically he was head and shoulders above his fellow students, even though he was so young. When Street Eagle shut down the operation, Jeremy was so impressed by the older vigilante that he asked to be his partner to atone for his misdeeds. Street Eagle saw something in the young man and agreed. Redwing was born.

 

Personality/Motivation: Jeremy cannot contain his enthusiasm. He is a happy, energetic, young man in both heroic and civiian identities.

 

Quote: "Okay ugly, this is where you hit the floor."

 

Powers/Tactics: A brilliant athlete, with reaction time far greater than the average fighter. He was trained in Taijutsu by his original masters and has studied Jeet Kun Do with Street Eagle. He also carries a utility belt, armored costume and cape.

 

Campaign Use: Stock Vigilante Sidekick.

 

Appearance: Redwing's costume is almost the identical his mentor's He wears a gray bodysuit with red gloves, belt, boots, cape and cowl. His symbol, is a stylized firebird in red on a gold triangle on is chest. He is shorter and thinner than Street Eagle.

Re: Char: Vigilante & Sidekick for use and perusal

 

The idea with these two is that the Sidekick is potentially the better fighter. And when he hits his physical prime he'll definately be the superior fighter. The Mentor is the detective. His experience will rub off on the youngster and the future vigilante will be superior to the current...or something like that.

Kind of like how Nightwing can actually play well with others where as Bruce takes his ball and goes home if they don't let him make the rules?

Re: Char: Vigilante & Sidekick for use and perusal

 

I like the characters so much that I won't tell you what Redwing(s) are a slang term for. Somewhat like when USAgent/Cap's adult black sidekick was named Bucky.

 

When you can lay down the beatdown like Redwing can, does anyone dare call you a sidekick? Does he wear short pants and pixie boots or something? This guy is a thug-mower!

D'oh! Did I name him for a racial slur?!?! I hate that!

 

He's considered the sidekick by the public at large because he is a) a chipper, brighter, happier version of his mentor which leads many to correctly believe he is much younger.

 

Notice they are about the same points but Redwing has a higher DEX, and speed, similar levels and higher damage potential with his martial arts. The older hero is (currently) just bigger and stronger. He also is the expert detective and the brains of the operation. Redwing is a skilled catburgler and he uses this to basically scout ahead, attack from surprise, and do some of the legwork Street Eagle needs for his detective work.

Not so much that, but Street Eagle has found a protegee who is his physical superior at a young age. With his training and practical experience, Redwing will be a far superior vigilante when he is in his physical and mental prime. Street Eagle looks forward to that day.

Not a racial slur, a purity test slur. Maybe it's not as well known as I thought. I know it, wish I didn't.

I've heard it, but it's not what I'd think of as "common knowledge". Besides, that's more along the lines of "earning your red wings", rather than 'redwing', which has more traditional aviary meanings. Or boots.

 

Besides, you could always call him Sparrowhawk or Goshawk or something equally as youth-heroic-inspiring.
