Re: Heroes from All Fifty States
The Old Line Jouster
Fred Quincy was kind of a geek. He spent hi time role playing and going to
Renaissance Festivals and the like. He was relatively athletic, and had been
riding horses since he was a child. It was only natural to him to combine
his love of the Res Fest with his love of horses. He decided to master the
official sport of Maryland: Jousting.
He rapidly moved up through the rankings and became a semi-professional,
making a living traveling to Ren Faires all around the country. In 2006 he
was competing in a Joust at The Maryland Renaissance Festival, when lightning struck him. He almost died. He was air lifted to Shock Trauma medical center in Baltimore where he spent the next week in a coma.
Finally he came to, and as the doctors examined him, they were shocked. All
of his injuries had almost healed. Fred left the hospital and noticed that his sight and hearing seemed a bit crisper, and the beginnings of the gut he was building had vanished. Being the geek he was, Fred felt the need to see what was up.
He returned home he mounted his horse, Raven, and began to ride. As he came into town he heard sirens. He spurred Raven into a gallop and, grabbing a long solid tree branch, went toward the sound.
An armed robber had just gone on the run from a local convenience store and,
well you all know how this goes: Fred uses his riding and jousting talents
combined with his increased speed and senses to catch the bad buy.
Boom. Bob's your uncle and The Old Line Jouster was born.
-He wears a Kevlar/Chain mail bodysuit that protects him from most bullets
and non energy projectiles.
-He fights mounted on Raven with a steel composite Lance which he calls Poe.
-Low grade super speed, reflexes, senses and healing.
