Special Delivery Epilogue 2

Ocelot was about to leave when Zee appeared at his feet as if out of no where. Zee seemed to smile and his eyes seemed to blaze with green light and he said, "Daniel, aren't you forgetting something?". The hero asked his cat mentor outloud, "What?! What did I miss?...". Then realizing he was speaking out loud. He reiterated in a whisper, "what did I miss?! I stopped the robbery!". The ocelot mentor walked back and forth eyeing his pupil and with a longish pause finally said, "What was that speedy human after?". Ocelot stood erect and said, aloud, "Oh right!".

The jewelry store manager was finishing talking to a police officer when Ocelot appeared next to him. The manager seemed to jump of his skin with shock, and said, "Whoah! Where did you come from?! Well, no matter, I wish to thank you for stopping the robbery of the delivery". Ocelot smiled amiably and said, "No problem at all. All in a days work. Happy to help. But, say, what was in the box? It would be helpful to know to try to get to the bottom who is behind this." The manager looked nervous but said, "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt. It's information I already gave to the police. It is a gem. And not just any gem. It's the famous Spectral Daughter! An emerald, one the largest and most precious emeralds in the world. We aquired it through an estate sale.

Zee appeared at Ocelot's feet again and said, "Ask him about it's properties". Ocelot, looked down annoyed and whispered harshly, "I was getting that!". The manager looked down nervously and seeing nothing he looked back at the hero and said, "Uhm...getting to what?". Ocelot back pedaled by saying, "Oh...just that I wondering, isn't that gem known to have some special properties?". The manager said, "Oh, well, there are legends about it be magical or some such thing. It does seem to catch the light in an amazing fashion. But, I don't think there's any truth to those stories. Even so, it is an exquisite gem that will fetch a high price once the police are done with it. Now, excuse me, I must return to my business."

As the manager walked away, he watched police officers carrying the case to an awaiting police van. Ocelot asked one of the police officers about it and cop shared that it would be held as evidence until it was properly processed.

Ocelot looked at the time on his burner phone and realized he was late to class...again. He gave out an audible growl of frustration and raced away.

Notes on the setting for this story. The WCBH rulebook describes Playa De La Codicia as, "No shirt. No shoes. No problem! Come feel the vibe of this coastal paradise. Whether you are looking for wild nightlife or relaxing beach days, Playa del Codicia has it all!"

It is a amalgamation of LA, Miami and other coastal beach cities. It is both beautiful but also crime ridden. And the El Gato Diablo corporation is the most prominent source of criminal activities in the city. My version of Playa is on the coast of SoCal...though quite a bit greener than say, LA.

Ocelot Ch. 3: Special Delivery

Special Delivery

It was another beautiful sunny day in Playa De La Codicia as Ocelot was perched on a roof top surveying the street below.  He didn’t have classes this morning, so he thought why not take a quick patrol around Old Town.  He had been on two patrols thus far, both at night and they were disappointingly uneventful.  But, today, as he crossed several roof tops, his danger sense gave him a slight tingle.  And Ocelot thought it best to pay attention to it.  So, here he knelt tilting his head to sense anything out of the ordinary.

Traffic was light and only a few pedestrians walked down the street.  But, just when he was about to move on, Ocelot saw an armored truck pull up in front of Kensington’s Jewelry and Precious Metals. Out of the truck jumped three guards all in ballistic cloth armor, two wielding shot guns and one armed with a side arm and carrying a metal brief case.  

The buzzing in Ocelot’s mind increased and he thought, “Ok, this is interesting.  What do they have in the case, I wonder?”.

No, sooner than when those thoughts had left his mind, in his peripheral vision he caught sight of something greenish moving with lightning speed toward the guards.  Ocelot knew he had to get down to the street as quickly as possible.  But, before he could launch himself off the roof top, the green blur was just already in reach of the guards.  Ocelot thought he saw the blur slow down just enough to see that it was what appeared to be a man dressed in skin tight green suit (looking somewhat like a speed skater) and yellow boggles and had a handle bar mustache.  The man reached out to grab the metal brief case.  But he fumbled it and it went clattering away to the gutter of the street.  Ocelot was already in motion and acrobatically leapt onto an awning from a restaurant below then he bounced over to a tall, ornate lamp post upon which he quickly slid down. 

Meanwhile, the green suited speedster stopped down the street and stared at Ocelot. His eyes seemed to move from Ocelot to the case and then back to Ocelot. Ocelot knew he had no time to waste, and he retrieved magic lasso from his belt pouch which seemed to leap into his hand of it's own accord. He flung the rope out long and fast and a stylized grappling cat claw latched almost perfectly on the case handle. Ocelot gave the rope a hard tug and the case was soon in the hero's hand. The green speedster was already streaking down the street back towards the case. But, instead of going for the case again, he swerved to make a collision course with Ocelot! Ocelot’s danger sense seemed to scream in his head and his super cat reflexes took over. He somersaulted out of the way just in time to see the speedster miss him by mere inches! But, the wind sheer from the speedsters move by did catch Ocelot by surprise and he went tumbling harmlessly a meter or two away.

Ocelot kipped up, and saw that the case had slid back to sit between the guards.  He yelled to the guards, “Grab the case and get back in the truck and lock the door!”.  

The guards heeded Ocelot’s command and the guard with no shot gun grabbed the case and ran for the armored cars open door.  

The green speedster whipped around and said, “Special delivery, Post Haste!” and he threw several letter shaped knives at the running guard.  But only one of the knives struck the guard and it lodged into the guard’s thick kevlar vest.  

Ocelot felt the trickster side of the Ocelot mark rise up in him and he shouted after the speedster, “Wow! You really aren’t very good at this are you!? First, you fumble the case and then you can’t hit them with your own knives when they are slower than molasses to you?!  Post Haste is your name?  It should be No Haste!”

Suddenly, the green speedster stopped and stood still and glared at Ocelot clearly full of rage, and yelled back, “Oh, I see! We have a comedian in our midst!  Ok, wise guy! I was going to go easy on you all.  But, no, you open your trap.  So, this is for you wise ass!  And for the record, the name IS Post Haste!” At that,  he pulled a small box from a satchel he wore and sped towards Ocelot.

This exchange gave the guards the time they needed to get into the van and slam the door shut and lock the door behind them.  

Ocelot thought to himself, “Wow! It worked!  Now, if I can just stay alive!”.  His danger sense went bananas again in his mind and he tumbled out of the speedsters path.  But this time it was too easy and he realized that Post Haste wasn’t trying to collide with him.  He looked down and saw the brown box just a few meet away.  The box had a LED clock that was ticking down to mere seconds!!  No time to think, just to act!  Ocelot dove for the box, and rolled up on his feet holding the package.  Then, with all the strength he could muster he heaved the box straight up into the air.  And just in time, the box sailed above the roof top and exploded in loud burst of noise and fire!! *BOOM!!!!*

Scraps of paper and cinders rained down on street.  Mercifiully, no one was injured.  Ocelots ears were ringing as he got back up to his feet.  He surveyed the scene and Post Haste was no where to be found.  Ocelot figured that the speedster didn’t have the strength to get the armored car open and so gave up on the heist and fled.  But, WOW!  He had survived his first encounter with an actual super powered criminal! 

Soon after, Playa De La Codicia’s finest and EMS arrived on scene.  Ocelot gave them a statement and while they also questioned the guards.  A paramedic walked up to Ocelot and checked him out before giving his fellow EMS techs a thumbs up and left as abruptly as they had arrived.   A police officer told him, “Well, I think we’ve got enough to go on here.  Good job, hero.”

When Ocelot turned around he saw a familiar reporter that he had seen many times on TV.  She was the tall red head star reporter for Playa’s Channel 4 Action News, Rachel Corvin and Ocelot’s secret crush.  She had a microphone in hand and said, “This is Rachel Corvin coming to you live from the scene of the attempted armored car heist.  Onlookers say that that it was Ocelot, the city’s newest guardian, who wen toe to toe with the criminal speedster known as Post Haste and foiled the heist.  Do you have any words for us,  Ocelot?  Uncharacteristically, Ocelot blushed hot behind his mask and stumbled with his words, “I…errr..ummm…just did what anyone else would do…Muh…Miss Corvin”.  Rachel smiled a sly grin and looking back in the camera she said, “There you have it folks!  Humble as he is brave.  Rachel Corvin, Channel 4 Action News.  Ok that’s a rap boys!”  And when she turned, the cat hero was gone.  She mused to herself, “How does he do that?!”

Epilogue:  In a smoky back room, a shadowy figure turned away from the TV set playing the news and slammed his meaty fist down on the table in front of him. In a raspy voice he said, "That's the third time this cat guy has mucked around with our operations! We gotta get rid this guy once and for all! Call out the big guns!". The El Gato lieutenant nodded and said, "Yes sir" and swiftly left the room.

Ocelot 

Issue 1

The Testing

Mist hung thick around the jungle as Daniel walked cautiously toward the strange feeling that seemed to call him.  He entered a clearing to view a massive jaguar that sat upon a raised dais made of stone.  Adjacent to the jaguar seated upon another smaller stone platform sat Ocelot’s mentor that he knew only as Xichan (whom Ocelot calls Zee for short).  Daniel was dressed in his makeshift costume that was essentially yellow sweats that he had painted spots onto and a domino mask acquired from a costume store.  The jaguar laughed which sounded like an undulating roar which shook the trees all around and it said, “Really, Xichan, this is the best you do?!  Very well, manling, step forward so I can take a look at you.”  Daniel was shaking now as he walked forward into the clearing before the jaguar.  He realized he was inside of a ring outlined in a bold red color and torches lit suddenly.  The jaguar studied Daniel for what seemed like an eternity and finally exhaled loudly and declared, “Very well, I see the mark of ocelot upon you for which I was not consulted.  But, I Ek Balam will still judge you to see if you are worthy.  You will battle 3 of my followers at once.  If you defeat them I will give you my blessing to be an bearer of the ocelot mark.  If you are defeated you will not.  It’s that simple.”  He then turned to the large ocelot and said, “Have you anything to say, Xichan?”.  Xichan’s eyes gleamed brightly with an emerald light and he seemed to smile and said, “Only that my charge is more than meets the eye as you will soon see.  He will not be defeated.”  At that Ek Balam turned to Daniel and said, “Are you ready, manling?”

Daniel simply nodded, still overwhelmed and unsure that any of this was real.  Out of the jungle appeared three human warriors dressed in what looked like ancient mesoamerican garb.  Each of them wielded a large war club as they each took positions surrounding Daniel.  Each warrior had numerous tattoos on their bodies which Daniel could feel the magic emanating from them.  He breathed in trying to calm himself when the Jaguar suddenly bellowed, “Begin!!”.

At that, the world seemed to move in slow motion for Daniel.  The three warriors moved with speed and practiced skill, but he was considerably faster!  Instinct and and new awareness came alive for Daniel as he leapt into the air and aimed a capoeira type spinning kick at the nearest warrior.  The kick connected with the warriors jaw with such force that the warrior spun around in a 360 degree arc and blood plumed into the air from his mouth and he went sprawling onto the ground.  Wow! Daniel was amazed at this as this new beast self seemed to almost be on autopilot and he thought maybe this would go better than he thought.  The other two warriors wasted no time and positioned themselves to strike where Daniel would land one on either side.  But, Daniel sensed the double strike and tumbled safely out of the way as the two clubs swooshed harmlessly through the air.  The warriors growled and ran after him.  The tattoos glowed on one of the warriors skin and seemed to ripple to life in a serpentine fashion.  The warrior was suddenly beside Daniel and struck a savage blow across Daniel’s back as he tried to tumble out of the way again. His back and side seemed to scream in pain!  But, a rage rose up in Daniel which washed away most of the pain.  In a yellow blur, Daniel pounced upon the warrior who had struck him, and grabbing him in one motion, he threw the warrior at the other warrior.  Unfortunately, he misjudged the location of his target and completely missed the other warrior.  The flung warrior flew into a tree and did not get back up.  The first warrior who had been kicked, regained his feet and shook his head to get clarity then ran at Daniel.  Daniel spun out of the way, and punched the warrior at the base of his skull.  The warrior flopped to the ground and did not get up.  The last remaining warrior and Daniel faced each other for a moment as they both walked slowly in a circular motion.  The warriors tattoo suddenly came to life as the other one had and the warrior seemed to appear out of thin air next to Daniel.  The warrior feinted a blow at Daniel’s head which he tried to duck but the warrior struck Daniel behind the knees instead and knocked him to the ground.  Daniel knew he could not take many more blows like this but the wild cat in rolled quickly to his feet.  The warrior yelled a battle cry and charged at him.  Daniel side stepped the warrior and wrenching the club from his hand he drove it into the warrior’s abdomen.  As the warrior doubled over he then struck the warrior with his own club on his temple.  The warrior fell to the ground unconscious as his fellows had done.

Daniel threw the club away in disgust and said to the jaguar, “There! Is that good enough for you?!”.  The jaguar said, “Hold your tongue insolent whelp! You have much to learn!  Your style is quite rough and unhoned.  But, yes, you have managed to defeat my warriors and it appears I must give you my blessing.  So be it! But, do not think I won’t be watching you!”  At this, the mist thickened and thickened until Daniel could neither see, smell or hear the jaguar or the warriors any longer.  But, Xichan appeared out of the mist and said, “Come, Daniel, walk with me.”  Daniel held his side and his limped along side the ocelot.  Xichan looked him up and down and laughed and said, “Well, you did take some blows.  But, fear not, you will heal quickly.  And do not listen to that blow hard Ek Balam.  He is just jealous that I did not choose one of his followers.  But, it is my choice.  And you have proven yourself worthy.  Now, let’s get you home.  And about that costume…I’m sure I can find you something better to wear”.

Hey! I found an old character design for Ocelot. Man, that takes me back!

[samuraidad4]

Just fininshed my first solo play test of WCBH using Ocelot. It was furious and fast and way fun! So, here's the story:

Issue 2: One Unexpected Withdrawl

On a hot Monday afternoon, in Playa Del Codicia, the South Beach Federal Bank was surrounded by police cars. Ocelot seemed to appear out of nowhere next to police sergeant Garcia. "Geez!", he said in surprise, "Who are you!?! What are you doing here?" The yellow clad cat hero grinned and said, "The name's Ocelot, and I'm pretty sure I can end this quickly." "Oh, right. You're that hero who stopped the illegal weapons shipment at the docks, right?" "Yep, that was me", said Ocelot. "Well, ok, I'll give you a shot at this. But, don't make me regret that decision! There are what appears to be three perps in there heavily armed and we think one meta-human villain that goes by the name, Violent Volt." "Great" thought, Ocelot. A full fledged super powered criminal! And this one has electrical powers. This could be a shocking experience.

Ocelot swung easily to the top of the bank building, and following the map the police sergeant had given him, he opened the ventilation shaft and dropped in. His night vision took over and he followed the familar tingling that ran threw his mind. The tingling increased as he followed it in hotter and colder fashion. Suddenly it was red hot so he stopped and peered down through the ventilation grate. He could see a robber armed with a shotgun right below him and there was at least two others that he could see close by. None of them seemed to know he was there. They were too busy yelling at the customers and bank staff prostrate on the ground. Ocelot attempted to use his claws quietly open the grate which worked! His enchanted lasso lept into his hand and he quickly lassoed the thug and yanked him into the shaft. The surprised thug didn't know what hit him as Ocelot quickly punched him into dream land. "Hey!!," yelled a thug armed with an uzi, "What happened to Vinnie?!". "I don't know", yelled back another, "He disappeared into that hole in the ceiling!". Ocelot quickly crawled down the shaft following his danger sense.

The thugs were busy inspecting where the intruding hero had just been. Ocelot peered down out of another grate and this time saw the thug with the machine gun's back side. No time to waste, thought, Ocelot. He burst down through the vent and landed easily on all fours, crowing, "Surprise!!". The two thugs spun around. The cat hero quickly pounced on the thug closest to him. And grabbing him, in one motion threw him at the other thug who was some 6 feet away. "Anyone for a friendly game of bowling for bad guys?!" quipped Ocelot. The force of the throw sent them both hurtling into the wall behind them. Neither of them got back up. In another room there was the sound of loud humming like an electrical generator. Ocelot motioned for the people to stay down and he rushed into the room. A man in a blue, skin tight costume was shooting arcs of blue electrity and into a control panel saying, "C'mon! C'mon! Why isn't this opening?!". This must be that Volt guy the cop was talking about, thought Ocelot. Better take him out quickly!

The electrically endowed villain was so engrossed in his task that he still didn't seem to know Ocelot was present. Ocelot called out to him, "I hate to break this to you, Sparky, but what you are doing is illegal. Now, why don't you just stop what you are doing and I'm sure the courts will cut you some slack." Violent Volt, turned to face Ocelot and snarled, "The name is Violent Volt. And as you shall soon see I have earned that descriptor, you dolt!" At that, he began to charge blue archs between his hands". Ocelot quipped in response, "Well, that's a shame! I was hoping we could be pals! Say, do you like table tennis?" Ocelot with some effort lifted a large table overhead and threw it at Volt. The table struck the villain but his electical field blew it apart into smithereens! Even so, the force of the tables impact knocked the villain flat on the ground. "You, idiot!", yelled Volt, "Do you think that can stop me?" as he got to his feet. "Now it's time to fry!!", he said with a maniacal look in his eyes.

Ocelot knew he had very little time to act! His danger sense pulled his attention to the corner of the room. There was a water cooler in the corner. In a flash of movement, Ocelot tumbled over to the water dispensor. And grabbing it like he had the table, he threw it at the villain saying, "Let's have a water break before our cook out!". The water jug struck the villain square in the face with tremendous force. Volt fell to the ground like a load of bricks quite unconscious. Ocelot just stood for a moment expecting his opponent to rise up and resume the fight. But that moment never came. At that moment, police officers rushed in and quickly apprehended Volt and the other thugs. Sergeant Garcia smiled and said, "I gotta tell you, I wasn't sure you could do it. But, you did it without any innocent people getting hurt. Good job. But, I gotta tell you, these are El Gato soldiers. You have likely just earned a lot of trouble for yourself."

Epilogue:

A cryptic note

Playa police scientist Elaine Lockhart sat at her desk in the criminal lab puzzling over the note that was found on one of the mobsters from the bank robbery earlier that day. It was a cryptic scribbling about a paragraph long. Police detective Baldwin, brought her a cup of coffee and sat down next to her. He was silent for a minute and finally said, "It's a good thing we found this note since those El Gato soldiers wouldn't break under interrogation. They are tough nuts to crack. They never do squeal though. The threat from their bosses far greater than us. Any, idea what this code says?".

Lockhart looked at the police detective briefly and offered, "Just bits an pieces. They seem to be using a new code. Our old cypher is out dated now. They only words I know for sure are "find the daughter".

Baldwin mused out loud, "Find the daughter? What the heck does that mean? A kidnapping order maybe?"

Lockhart said, "Maybe. I'll let you know if and when I decypher more of this note."

Detective Baldwin sighed and said, "Yeah, ok, thanks for putting in the extra time."

Looking up finally, Lockhart said, "Oh sure, no trouble at all. It's what I do. By the way, Thanks for coffee."

[samuraidad4]

Just for fun, this was the very first drawing that I did of Ocelot several years ago. His design changed a bit over time. And so did his adventures. Lately versions have been emerging all over the multiverse!

Mentor:  Xichan (Zee for short), Ocelot Trickster spirit from an obscure Meso-American mythos:   1x/d reroll any roll

No one can see Zee except for Daniel, Mystical, Conviction:  1x/d re roll Doubt:  super team attacks at disadvantage due to mistrust from Daniel of other heroes.  And maybe they distrust him as well as he seems to talk to someone who isn’t there (Zee).

Personal Life:  Public Merit, 10 media, has media contact with Ashley Mann, newbie reporter who is ambitious and wanting a break through.  

Daniel is a student at the local university.  Works as a barista in a coffee house PT.

Liability:  Parents are outstanding members of the community.  They probably help support him but also check in on him fairly often.  For example, mom hits his phone up right in the middle of super fight!

Personal space:  City apartment in Playa Del Codicia

Languages:  English

Origin/Background:  Daniel took a ancient history class at university and encountered a mystical statue from an ancient and obscure Meso-American society.  He was intrigued by the statue and felt drawn to it.  A powerful bolt of energy emanated from the statue and struck him and he passed out.  He saw a large talking Ocelot appear before him and the cat told him that He (named Xichan) had chosen Daniel to be his champion for justice and to protect the weak.  When Daniel awoke, he was in the hospital with his mother and father there.  Turns out no one saw what happened only that he had passed out.  Daniel soon realized that he had mystical prescient awareness and catlike senses, catlike reflexes and was very strong and had retractible/razor sharp magical claws.  He also was given a magical rope that he could swing on and it would follow his commands so long as he was holding it.  He also found that Zee (which is what Daniel calls him) shows up from time to time to provide guidance and generally be annoying.  Zee seems to delight in putting Daniel in precarious situations almost as much as he seems dedicated to helping people. 

Note: There is a good chance that these stats will change over time. Well, they are guaranteed to change through leveling. But, what I really mean is as I get more acclimated to the system, I reserve the right to move things around to suit the character and the campaign/story.

[samuraidad4]

So, just on the heels of the holidays here is Santa Claws. Yep, a parody of old St. Nick mixed with my favorite cranky scrapper mutant. Mostly just for a place holder. I am moving on from Longshot City for the time being. Hey! I did a field test! That's pretty good. It's just that I have run across a new supers game called We Can Be Heroes. The devs are really nice guys and the art is amazing! I've already started creating Ocelot in WCBH stats and will run a test scenario to see how it goes. More to come. And since I always put my write ups here. You'll be the first to know, dear random lost reader!

[samuraidad4]

Issue 0:

Rise of the Ocelot! I am repurposing this story to be part of the WCBH story arch. It takes place after issue 1 and before issue 2. So, let's call it 1.5. Note that I used Longshot city rules to play out the combat sequence. Well, on to the story.

The bright moon shown down upon shipping yard 5 at the shipping docks in Play Del Codicia. Ocelot skulked amongst the many rows of shipping crates keeping to the shadows. His keen cat like hearing caught the sound of someone lighting a cigarette he peered around the corner and caught sight of a lone El Gato Diablo thug carrying an assault rifle. Ocelot lept to the top of nearby crate hoping to leap down upon the thug in surprise. But the crate creaked unexpectedly and the thug swung his AK up and fired. A loud flare of gunfire erupted as a spray of bullets wizzed harmlessly past Ocelot. In a blurr of motion, the cat hero pounced down upon the thug. The force of the impact rendered the thug uncounscious. Then, Ocelot heard the approach foot steps running toward him. He lept easily back on top of the crate doing so soundlessly this time.

Two more thugs appeared, one carrying an AK and another an uzi. In addition was a tall dark haired woman, clad in black and wielding a vicious looking bladed chain weapon. The foes looked at the guard on the ground and then said to the thugs, "Don't just stand there! Find out who did this and kill them!". But, before they could act, Ocelot jumped down behind the two thugs and knocked their heads forcefully together. They crumpled to the ground unconscious.

The woman began deftly swinging her chain around in flurry of motion and said, "I don't know who you are, but you are about to die horribly for interfering. No one messes with Meat Hook and lives!" Ocelots danger sense screamed at him to move and he dodged just in time to see the blade at the end of the chain barely miss his neck! Whoah! That was close he thought. This lady is good and she means business! Ocelot retorted, "Meat hook?! That's your name?! Did your parents hate you or something?!"

Meat Hook screamed in rage and angled another attack at Ocelot. Ocelots claws came out and, slipping the chain, he swatted the chain to the side with a loud clanging sound. He then lashed out with his swingline which magically sensed what he wanted and it wound around her pinning her arms to her side. She shouted, "This won't stop me from killing you!!" and aimed a kick at his head. But, Ocelot saw the kick coming and, dropping to all fours swept her leg out from under her. She landed on the ground with a loud thud. Still consious and thoroughly enraged, Meat Hook attempted to get out of the ropes hold. But the rope tightened further and in it's grip she remained.

Ocelot, sensing that he needed to end this soon or he would likely be chopped into bits, tugged hard on the line. It responded and snaked quickly up around her neck and constricted. She snarled and fought and hissing as she went into unconsciousness.

Ocelot stood there for a minute overlooking the scene in relief breathing heavily. At about that time, Playa's finest came running in guns drawn. They took the thugs and their chain wielding leader into custody. And after interviewing Ocelot they let him go. But, not before one of the officers commented, "I don't know if you know who you tangled with there. That's Meat Hook! She's killed dozens of people with that scythe of hers. You're seriously lucky to be alive!"

Later, the local news paper would recount how a new "half-cat" hero had foiled a shipment of weapons to the Playa Del La Codicia and that the infamous killer with the street name of Meat Hook and several El Gato toughs were now in custody.

[samuraidad4]

Just drew this yesterday. But again, the character concept goes way back to HS. My HS aged self was obsessed with Wolverine from the X-Men. And Bengal is heavily inspired by Wolvie and also the Beast.

[samuraidad4]

Another ancient character resurrected! This time it's the hero: Promethean. Think Thor except with more of a Greek mythological theme.

[samuraidad4]

This guy is one of my oldest OC's.  He is a villain I created in HS.  I couldn't remember his name.  My wife suggested the name "Malgician". Love it! He was a down and out stage magician. He became bitter. But he found a real magic wand and was full of a new sense of power and became the Malgician!

[samuraidad4]

This is Psichosis, another villain I created a billion years ago when I was in HS.  She was created alongside Malgician.  Feels good to resurrect these ancient characters.

[samuraidad4]

So looking forward to this!

BREAK!!, a tabletop RPG inspired by classic games and anime is coming to Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/576526373/break-a-trpg-inspired-by-classic-videogames-and-anime?ref=clipboard-prelaunch

[samuraidad4]

It’s happening everyone!

[samuraidad4]

This is a very old drawing I did of a female Cat folk adventurer.  I’m posting it to inspire myself to do more drawing.
