Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

It's not a write-up (I'm still working on that), but here's the character background for The Mountaineer:

 

--

 

He went to war a fresh-faced boy of eighteen years. Just a few weeks later he found himself wounded and alone, the rest of his unit dead or retreated. He lay on the cold, muddy ground, rain and darkness surrounding him, and waited for the end to come.

 

Three days later he awoke, weak, cold, and hungry, but alive. He found a friendly unit and joined up. Over the next three years he fought in numerous bloody engagements, including some of the key battles of the war. He was often injured, sometimes seriously, but never fatally. He always recovered.

 

He was there when the final shots were fired and the surrender orders were signed. That was in 1865, in Appomattox.

 

After the war, he returned to his hometown of Mill Creek, now in the newly formed state of West Virginia, and settled down. He married, raised children, ran a successful farm, and saw his children grow up and have children of their own. As he saw his wife, his children and his friends slowly growing older, he came to realize that he was hardly aging at all.

 

He grew a beard to hide his youthful face and tried to hide his unique condition as best he could. When his wife died, he decided it was time to move on, so he engineered his own ‘death’ as well. He moved to a new town and started a new life. It would be a pattern he’d follow several more times over the next 120 years.

 

He’s been doing this for so long that he doesn’t even remember his real name any more. Since the death of his wife, he’s fought in six major wars and more than a dozen smaller conflicts around the world. He’s fought at San Juan Hill, the Argonne, Iwo Jima, Incheon, Quang Tri, and Baghdad, as well as other locations in the Balkans, Africa, southern Asia, Central America, and the Middle East. But he’s recently decided to fight in a different kind of war—the war against crime, corruption, and terrorism. With his vast experience and apparent immortality as his main weapons, he’s taken up the fight for justice as the native son of West Virginia: The Mountaineer.

Background/History: Jeremiah Spottedhorse is the son of a Cheyenne father and a Seminole mother. He spent his early years on a reservation learning the history of his people. After graduating high-school he attended Florida State University . While in college he learned that the super villain group, Terror Inc., had attacked his reservation, stole all the money from the casino & killed everyone. Jeremiah swore to see Muerte and his band brought to justice. Using his newly aquired education, he constructed his bow, trick arrows and costume. He then traveled to his mothers home in Florida, where he had heard of the group of heroes, the Forces of Nature. He had heard that they fought Terror Inc quite often. He has since joined the forces and earned the hatred of Terror Inc, especially Fuer who dislikes his extenguisher arrow.

 

Personality/Motivation: Seminole is very proud of his heritage and if you insult that you are likely to piss him off. His major goal as a hero is to see Muerte locked up forever for his crimes.

 

Powers/Tactics: Seminole generally keeps his distance in battle, but if drawin in to H-H combat he will use his bow like a staff.

 

Appearance: Seminole is well muscled and lean. His hair is long and he wears a costume that looks like street clothes. He always wears his boot moccasins with the built in enhancements.

Extinguisher Arrows and Enhancement Moccasins !

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

Eh, melodramatic, but here's my concept of Virtus' origin:

 

As the magic faded from the world, and the worship of the old gods waned, the gods went to sleep. As the centuries passed, the gods stirred, whenever humans recalled them. The mightiest gods dreamt vividly, as humans used their tales to teach Greek and Latin to their children, and as their stargazers named the bodies they found; but the lesser gods were mostly unremembered and slept deeply.

 

Virtus began to stir 1300 years after Rome fell, when a new land adopted her image, a young land, standing bravely with its neighboring lands against the Rome of its day. Virtus dreamed vividly for the first time centuries, and this new land, Virtus' land, eventually saw the surrender of the Legatus Legionis of the latter-day Romans. Virtus dreamed of this land for over two centuries, dreaming names like George Washington, William Clark, Nat Turner, Earle Gregory, Richard Byrd, Jimmie Monteith, Edward Schowalter... She saw valor in the people of her land, and approved.

 

The world began to change again, and the old gods began to awaken. The mightiest of the gods walked the earth as before, and found new gods with names like Defender, Ironclad, and Sapphire. The lesser gods could not manifest as they had in days long gone, and yet...

 

The girl had had no chance from the start. There were four of them, any one of them bigger, stronger than her. One sat propped against the wall, trying to breathe after the punch to the throat. The others were bloodied, but not as badly as she. She lay limp, although the hits to her head had not put her completely out. Two of them had her by the arms, as one was reaching to pull off her pants. A sudden kick, and he was instead holding his broken nose. The other two began beating her again.

 

This one would do. Virtus couldn't walk the earth as in ancient times, but she could pour something of herself into a human host. As her vision cleared and the pain left her battered frame, Alexandria Richmond found that she had gained the strength, speed, and skill of a warrior goddess. Virtus had no need to share her valor.
