After that came what seemed like an eternity of fighting, and a repeated need to kill all mutants. That changed when Tom (To this day, he isn't sure if that's his real name), all of 12 years old, was rescued from the facility by a psychic named the Highwayman, who quickly took the boy under his wing, trying to deprogram him. Tom had four happy years as the Highwayman's sidekick until the IHA caught up with the two and killed his mentor, leaving the young man on his own. He fled, eventually making his way to Vancouver where he hoped he could stay low and get strong enough to fight the IHA directly. Quote:"It's amazing how many people forget about the 'musket' part of Musketeer." Campaign Use: The Musketeer was part of an IHA project to train infant metahumans. Had the project been successful, the IHA could have placed undercover operatives on known superteams and triggered them to either take out their teamates at a given time, or become supercriminals and disgrace the team in general. It left him with an minor distrust of telepaths, and a combat-oriented powerset. As far as he knows, the project (already unpopular with IHA hardliners) was cancelled after The Highwayman broke Tom out. The IHA has hunted him, as a loose end with dangerous knowledge about their organization. -- What do you think sirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His grandfather named it from Dante's Inferno. His youth was spend working the ranch, and arguing philosophy or politics with his family, all of whom have colourful histories and educations. When he was 19, one of the locals didn't show up for an appointment. Up north, being late is an issue, because if you're stuck outside, you could die very quickly. As the search went on, Will's snowmobile died. Now there were two people missing. Will had always been comfortable in the cold, more than most, in fact. But -20 is still a death sentence. After 3 days, Will staggered back to the ranch, covered in frost, and cold. He was delirious from exhaustion. He should have been dead. As he recovered, he found that cold water stayed cold around him, or froze. If he concentrated on it, he caused ice to form and expand. His family, being the type of people who name their home after a frozen lake in Hell, encouraged him to work on his abilities. Once he developed enough control, his grandfather told him to go out in the world an get an education. Make himself useful. So that's what he did. He got accepted part time to SFU and has it paid for by family. Just enough money to get by and lots of free time to do something with his life. Quote:"Freeze? Oh, I get it. If you think that's funny, try this!" Campaign use:Frostbite is young and idealistic. He wants to help and make a difference. His powers do not actually allow him to directly harm someone, but he can stop them in their tracks. His Code of the Hero means he will drop just about anything to help fight supervillans and crime. He doesn't actually know if he is a mutant or something else, as he was near dead when his powers began to come out. The powers may be natural, or they may be something else entirely. The IHA isn't taking any chances. Freon just doesn't like him. They're both impressive cryokinetics, and have clashed on occasion. Freon was driven off in both cases, but not actually defeated. For Freon, its personal and its on. How's he look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navaja http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navaja Sevillian Steel http://www.sevilliansteel.com/ Hmmm... QM Hmm, indeed. My original thought in picking Musketeer's combat style was 'No Kung Fu/Karate' stereotype. Looking through the Raven Arts site, I can see that I could take him in a lot of different directions. I could also easuily see his OIF being one of the 'training' Navaja blades. Probably Trainer B, judging from the image (http://www.sevilliansteel.com/images/trainers.jpg). And he could expand that greatly. Especially if Lucky's science geek friend survived... Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Re: The NEW Champions of Vancouver -- What Would You Like To See? Our story continues.... On the brink of their greatest victory the Champions of Vancouver vanished without a trace.and In the vacuum they left behind VIPER's Civil war spilled onto the streets Minute Man VII Robots descended upon the pacific northwest, hunting down mutant heroes and villains alike. Mechanon Robots appeared more frequently and in greater numbers. Istvatha V'han's invasion was stopped, but not forever. The RCMP, UNTIL, and Independent Superheroes worked overtime to authorities were hard pressed to contain it. The only bright light was the recovery of the Atlantic Sentinels member Oracle and her marriage to fellow member the Alien Cloned Gladiator Myrmidon. Oracle traveled throughout the country seeking out new superheroes to battle the threats held in check by the Sentinels and the Champions of Vancouver.
