Mark Rand Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Robert Masterson, a direct descendant of William Barkley "Bat" Masterson. is the local superhero team's federal liaison. He's stocky, clumsy, cheerful, a bit dense, and very bad with technology. For some reason, his wife, Elizabeth, a blue-eyed, blonde former sociality, adores him. They have one daughter, Abby, whose medical problems require a full-time, live-in nurse. Robert's mother, Grace, a pediatric nurse who was laid off, took the job. The Masterson family dog, a female American cocker spaniel named Lady, stays close Abby. Some nights, Mr. Masterson has been seen meeting with what appears to be a female cat burglar who appears to be 5 feet, 5 inches tall. Although she's usually masked, she was once seen with her ski mask rolled up, revealing bright red hair, green eyes, and pleasant features. I'll start Robert's sheet tonight.

Mark Rand Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Re: Robert Masterson, superhero team liaison If someone mentions the female cat burglar to her, Elizabeth will brush it off, stating that she's probably a contact Robert worked with in either the Justice Department or an intelligence agency.

DusterBoy Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Re: Robert Masterson, superhero team liaison I would say that the spaniel Lady is gonna be charmed by a grey street mutt named Tramp, but that could just be me. And just how many times has Robert Masterson met up with this red-haired and green-eyed cat burglar? An "old contact" my foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've mentioned that the team is aware of the fact that Robert has a number of "sneaky contacts" from his time in "The Bureau".

Mark Rand Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Re: Robert Masterson, superhero team liaison Several years ago, Robert met Elizabeth when he joined "The Bureau" a small top-secret intelligence agency and was assigned her as his secretary. When he asked why a socialite was working for the agency, he was told that she wanted to feel useful. He was also given control of a team of three specialists, who were experts at "sneaky stuff". After he admitted that he was inept with technology, he was informed that Elizabeth would handle the contacts. After "The Bureau" was exposed by an ambitious senator, whose financial misdeeds subsequently exposed, Robert and his team were transferred to the DOSPA. The sneaky ladies came to the campaign city with Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusterBoy Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Re: Robert Masterson, superhero team liaison "Sneaky ladies", eh? That's a euphemism for "thief" I hadn't heard before. The background explains why Elizabeth's sure he's not cheating on her. BTW: where's Robert's sheet? I've only seen Lady and the Tramp one time and that was about fifteen years ago when had short-lived yen for old Disney films. I really liked it, though and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Robert's sheet is on my computer at home. I should have it done, soon. In the original version, Elizabeth was the burglar. A retired intelligence agent, she came out of retirement to gather intel for Robert. With Robert's knowledge, she donned the bright red wig and green contacts after spotting a tail. If Robert and Elizabeth are in their 30s, Grace is probably in her 50s. If so, she probably started her nursing career in uniform instead of scrubs. Since there is now a slow return to white uniforms, to help people identify them, Grace may decide to start wearing them, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Re: Robert Masterson, superhero team liaison The characters will be revamped and posted as a new thread. Harry Fox, formerly Robert, will be based on the "analyst" package deal in Dark Champions. Elizabeth will be based on the "cat burglar" package deal, also in Dark Champions. Lady will be based on the "small/medium dog writeup, with the "smart (cunning)" template in the Hero System Bestiary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagadorn Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Re: Robert Masterson, superhero team liaison I'm sorry, But no Cocker can ever deserve the Smart(cunning) template. If the template was Thick(Stupid) then, yes. Yes indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
