Re: Catalyst: A Champions campaign on Hero Central Background/History: William, or Wild Bill as his friends call him, gained his powers early on though they went unnoticed. When he fell he walked away without scrapes, "Lucky." When the local bully picked on him he struck back and won, "He's strong for his age." Sports were a great outlet for him and he excelled at them setting school and state records in several track and field events. Then in his senior year the event he would always remember happened. During an unofficial football pep rally a group of rival students drove by and threw bags of burning manure at the gathered students. Aside from the smell two local students, acquaintances if not friends of Wild Bill's, were badly burned. Bill and some of his friends pursued. They caught the other students off a back country road and the inevitable fight broke out. Bill was handily teaching them a lesson when one of the rival students pulled a knife and stabbed Bill in the chest. The blade broke on his upper ribcage but left a small but noticeable wound. Bill went crazy, tearing into the now terrified students he bludgeoned them till they were all down and followed up by flipping their truck. His friends drove off without him somewhere in the middle of the rampage and when he calmed he was concerned to say the least. He was one of them, a Prime, how else could he flip a car or survive a stab wound to his chest. It was just the previous year when the states tried to sue the costumed heroes. Then he noticed the wound in his chest had healed and he came up with his plan. It was later written up in the local Leitchfield Gazette as a wreck caused by a high speed chase through the back roads. The lawyers on both sides worked out a deal since assault and battery charges could be brought against both parties. All of the juveniles ended up receiving community service from the judge and the event was summarily forgotten. Bill started testing the limits of his abilities alone in the woods and down at an abandoned quarry. He also decided he needed to quit sports. He did not want to hurt someone accidentally and definitely did not want to have his temper go off again and possibly kill someone. It was obvious though that he had been given a gift and he should use it. The military seemed like a likely avenue of approach but the thought of taking orders chafed him. Finally, he decided to go the way of the costumed hero, besides it'd probably be fun. Now a couple years into his career things were going great. He had managed to open his own mechanics shop, thwarted a dozen different villains and managed to keep his identity secret while he was at it. He still lost his temper from time to time but now he took it out on those who deserved it. And yes, this super hero gig was quite fun. Personality/Motivation: Tends to be quick of wit and always in a good mood. Even when it does not seem appropriate he seems to have a smile on his face and joke on his lips. He adventures from a sense of responsibility but also because he loves it. It is a challenge like sports but with a more meaningful goal. Quote: "Look at it this way, pain is only weakness leaving the body. You just happen to have a lot of weakness." Powers/Tactics: Strong and athletic he takes the fight to his enemies. He uses a combination of running speed and leaping to close the distance and then lets his fists and feet do the rest. He is a chatter box talking the majority of the time he is fighting unless he goes enraged. He is not fond of mentalists (they don't play fair) and tends to target them first if noticed. He tends to fight with his head as well as his fists at least until he loses his temper, then it is all out offense till either he or the other guy goes down. To this point he has lucked out and been the last man standing. NOTE: I tried uploading my pic, not sure if it worked. It is rough and will be improved.
