Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

Raven has a link to shamanic magic because I wanted to see what a magic version of Batman's utility belt might look like, and that was one way out.

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

I've been lurking on this thread, since I don't have any Native American characters.

 

I do, however, have an indigenous Australian one. He's roughly modelled on a couple of people I know, and only conforms to stereotype to the degree they do.

 

Of course, it's a one side representation even of them, since how can you accurately represent someone else?

 

For the record, he's a football (rugby league) player turned brick. I took his name from the nickname of one of people he is based on, which is that of the team he is associated with. Appropriately enough, that name, "Bronco", is an American, not Australian, term.

 

In general, though, I have adopted the principle of embracing cliches and stereotype. I like a fairly Silver Age style, with a considerable tongue in cheek element. Another way of describing it is semi-humourous Iron Age!

 

In this kind of setup, everybody is a stereotype. This includes, and probably especially applies to the white Americans, Australians and so on comics were originally mainly written for.

 

Yes, I have an Australian character that throws Boomerangs. He's named "Blue Boomerang". He'd be named "Black Boomerang", but he's not black.

So do I...although he is only part Australian..here is a link to his write up.

I have one I call Coyote.

ahh haa! She looks like a street walker!

[Kaeto]

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

But she isn't.

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

But she isn't.

Looking back on it I should have mentioned that one of my players plays a street walker called Coyote... hence why I thought it was funny and hence why no body else would.

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

In my campaign Native Americans have produced quite a few supers.

To name a few:

 

Red Crow: mutant/martial artist; now member of a gang of inter-stellar buccaneers

 

Stampede: tough brick, reluctant hero

 

Black Bear: hero, transformed into a huge bear-man by a demon-lord

 

Bear Claw: twin brother of Black Bear, abducted at an early age by a demon-lord, now his loyal servant

 

Many Deaths: mutant hero, who witnessed the brutal murder of his whole village, out for revenge

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

Not 100% complete, but almost...The background is only in my head. The special effects of his Totem Multi-Power is that when he calls on a particular totem power (a MP slot), he takes the physical features of the totem he is calling in. So when using eagle, his physical features might start to imitate an eagle (Like in Shadowrun when a Shaman casts a spell).

I did a skeleton writeup for the "White Wolf" character pictured in various Champions (3rd, 4th editions) and HERO (5th) books. But I never got around to writing his origin.

Background/History: Lee's parents are doctors and he wanted to be like them. He went to school and then medical school, returning home after his superhuman abilibies awakened. After spending some time with his maternal Grandfather who had been college wrestling champion and succuessful policeman, Lee took a costume and the name Arcitc Wolf.

 

However, his first few actions as a superhero ran him afoul a few corrupt cops. He was called White Wolf and made out to be some sort of eco-terrorist. On the run in his home state he traveled south through Canada and into the Pacific Northwest. He's still wanted for questioning but the corrupt cops in question have been revealed and White Wolf is generally considered a non issue.

 

He has one high profile televised combat with the supervillain known as Pariah. White Wolf more than held his own and his reputation as a fighter skyrocketed. He isn't interviewed much, if at all and has no social agenda to fight for; he's just a Truth, Justice, and the American Way kind of hero.

 

Another "Cool pic from Champions Book" Character

 

Personality/Motivation: Just trying to find some justice in the world. White Wolf has an up beat, positive outlook. Lee has no trouble being a wise guy, playing off his heritage or his profession. He has an unnaturally thick epidermis physically and emotionally. He does bristle when people expect him to act a certain way or treat them a certain way due to ethnic, social, and economic background; but for the most part he brushes these things off to ignorance and ignores them.

 

Quote: "Running Bear....Loves Little Whitedove....I'm gonna break your face..."

"Call me Tonto again, buddy and I'll bust your ass so fast you'll be seeing silver bullets."

"Hello, I'm Lee and I'll be your Medicine Man today..."

 

Powers/Tactics: A martial artist with impressive physical and sensory abilities. White Wolf can also speak with any canine.

 

Campaign Use: He can be a member of an NPC group or just a lone hero encountered anywhere. He would be considered an expert on Alaskan native lore if ever the need arose.

 

Appearance: Handsome Amerind with black hair and gray eyes. Wears a black body suit with white gloves lined with teeth, a white wolf headdress, black trunks, white legs and white boots.

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

Native American Supers... hm, I have one but he's long since retired. I'll have to see if I can dig him up.

[Drhoz]

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

I refer you to Huitzilin, from Kate Orman's first Doctor Who novel The Left-handed Hummingbird

 

An appallingly powerful psychic and time-permeable psychopath, who went on to become the patron god of the Aztecs.

 

The book caused something of a furore, because the Doctor takes some LSD and magic mushrooms, to try and learn more about the entity he's trying to defeat - and ends up possessed by a psychopathic Aztec god.

Re: Native American Supers: Post Your's Here

 

I've got two write-ups floating around somewhere on this board. The first one's Hardcase he's a mutant teen brick, that's pretty much indestructible. The Second's Bright Star, and energy manipulator who can create objects out of solid light energy. I'll see if I can track down the threads I posted them in.
