 THE TRAMP FREIGHTER CAPTAIN

Moment of Crisis □ (5 XP) water vehicles +5
You where in the Suez Canal making a run, when the
strangest storm broke out, a few hours later you saw
a group of mummies with rifles chasing a group of
solders and villagers to the bank. You took your boat
over and got them to the other side. Strangest thing
ever since then, you would swear your boat is almost
running like new again.

Quote
“Oh that—in the river—it's either a rock to sink us or
a hippo to eat you if we hit it. How about we give it
some room just in case.”

Description
Most tend to overlook you, your patchy beard which
never seems to grow out, did you shave last week after
the carburetor was rebuilt, or Monday after installing
the patch on the engine's muffler. You tend to have
grease and oil on your pants and hands. You call it
your working man's manicure. The only thing that
stays the same is your ball cap hat.

Agenda
Keep your boat floating! You look out for the people
on the side and those who need a hand up. Seems like
these Delphi Council guys are wonderful at helping
find the parts to keep your boat running, and you
get to feel great by helping them out when they need
someone that knows the waters around the eastern
Mediterranean.

Description
You wear a 1930's stylized US bomber jacket and
flared out leggings with a long red scarf and monocle

conversations casually with an assertive flair. When
duty calls, you wear a fashioned prototype offshoot of
the rocket rangers armor that you have made modified
to fit your...features.

Agenda
Your memories are fractured, but you love to fly and
use your newfound abilities to help those in need.
You want revenge against the High Lords who tricked
and abused you and especially the cruel villain Iron
Crocodile.

Description
You were affable and cool-under-fire even

the mask that hides your famous alter ego in the Nile

You fight evil because it's the right thing to do. You're
naturally good at it, and you like inspiring others to
stand up against the High Lords and do their part.

Quote
“Guilty.”

Description
You are a vigilante of few words, and let your fists
speak for you. Your special suit absorbs light
so much that you appear as a silhouette even
in daylight. You try to preserve the mystery
surrounding you at all times—pretending to
be a spirit of vengeance rather than a mortal
being. Your spouse occasionally wears the
uniform if you are wounded and recovering,
or need to protect your true identity!

Agenda
You are after justice first, and revenge not far
after. You avoid killing when you can, but this
is a war, not just against the High Lords but
against palpable evil itself.

□ (5 XP) Natural Leader
Tactics
You are quick to use your wit and quick reflexes □ (7 XP) Super Skill: Melee Weapons

□ (4 XP) melee weapons +4
up tougher opponents or groups of lesser foes using
interaction skills. Once you have whittled away at □ (5 XP) melee weapons +5
your enemies, you are then free to cut them down.

Moment of Crisis
You were there when your mother died. She had
told you not to follow her, but you disobeyed. She
was ambushed, unmasked, declared a traitor to
the Pharaoh, and her assets were seized. Your only
inheritance is her sword, which you managed to grab
before fleeing the scene. And it is enough.

Quote
“Villains may try to flee,
but in the end they
always answer to Justice!.”

Description
You dress in fine clothing that is loose-fitting to allow
for movement even when not fighting crime. You
have been known to wear a modified fencing plastron
and chest protector when fighting outside of the Nile
Empire where the Law of Masks does not apply.

Agenda
You are a skilled fencer and are relentless in your
pursuit of Wu Han and the stormers that ambushed
and killed your mother. Your youth and inexperience
can sometimes make you a little overconfident and
reckless, but usually your skill and quick reflexes keep
you from suffering too badly. You are quick to stand
up for your friends and will be quick to defend them
with a well-placed insult, or with steel in hand.

Description
At rest you're a warm, gentle breeze. In battle,
you're like a "fire whirl" found in forest fires,
combining wind speeds of a Category 3 tornado
with the incinerating heat of a blast furnace. Little is
left when they . . . or you . . . have passed. Unlike them,
however, you don't destroy indiscriminately. Only the
wicked need fear your flames.

Agenda
All the world's a stage, and you've been given a starring
role. The audience is counting on you to play your
part, lest the curtain fall forever. Be the hero that
rouses them for the grand finale. Your powers
are very dangerous, so wield them responsibly.
Minimize collateral damage. Show mercy to foes,
even as you bring fiery ruin upon their mischief.

As the invasion began, you tried to remain neutral. You
kept your head down and used your abilities to help
those in need. However, as more and more injustices
began happening around you and it began to get
harder and harder to ignore. One day, as you watched
gangsters rough up some merchants something inside
you broke. Out of the darkness you came and before
the villains could react to what was happening, you
began to take them down one by one. Moving quickly,
you grimly took care of business and set an example
to those that would prey upon the weak.

Quote
“Crime is a disease. And I… I am The Cure!”

Description
Dressed in a sharp suit, you make a lasting impression
when you finally make your presence known. Your
procedure mask hides your identity while you go
about waging war against the criminal element.
Quick and nimble, you are mostly unseen while you
punish those that would harm others. Perhaps you
have a gadget or are enchanted by a sorcerer or is it a
mysterious E-gene gives you powers beyond mortal
men. Only you know for sure.

Agenda
Those that harm the downtrodden are a festering boil
upon society. They must be made to pay for the pain
and hardship they impose upon those that are less
fortunate than them.

Quote
“I will admit it was a diabolically clever plan Professor,
and it almost had me stumped—but you forgot to
factor in the time it would take the wax to melt.”

Description
While most Mystery Men adopt darker, more sombre
hues you prefer bright colours. Your costume is a
stylised version of elegant evening wear. You always
carry a supply of calling cards with your own, special
emblem to leave at the scene of your exploits.

Agenda
You are dedicated to the fight against crime and evil
but you also enjoy being the smartest person in the
room. You love unravelling and thwarting the tangled
plots of super-geniuses like The Insidious Wu Han
and then reading about the exploits of your alter-ego
in the papers the next day.

Moment of Crisis
Your Moment of Crisis came when your IDF unit was
routed by a Reality Bomb. When you tried to calm
a panicking officer who had transformed you saw
different versions of the man, and pulled the one you
knew back to the surface. The other soldiers rallied
to you, and began listening when you had a "feeling"
about something.

Quote
“Those who forget history are condemned to relive it.
Never again to fascists or a Pharaoh!”

Description
You wear blue to accentuate your piercing eyes. Even
though you're connected to Core Earth your mode of
dress is a throwback, in part to fit in with appearances
and axioms while you're at home, and in part because
you just like the classy look of it.

Agenda
You see echoes of the past in the present. Your people
were enslaved by Pharoahs once before, and you don't
intend to let it happen again. You feel a strong pull to
share your helpful visions with as many other people
as possible, and writing has helped you do that.

Shocktroopers were attacking the

down a back trail. Then the movie star
screamed for help, this was a time for
Action, so you grabbed the dead security
guard's gun and filled that Shocktrooper
full of lead!

Quote
“Great Zeus! I've been in a situation like this

Description
Your transformation was good to you, so if you've got
it, flaunt it! Your low-cut tops usually help when using
Persuasion or Taunt against men. Your Leather jacket
comes in handy in a fight or when it gets cold out.

Agenda
People take your nonchalance as indifference, but
that's not the case at all. You are just completely
confident that you and your fellow Storm Knights can
handle anything the High Lords can throw your way.
You hate the Possibility Wars but love adventure, but
if you can save the world and meet cute guys along
the way, why not make the most of it?

Moment of Crisis
You were working undercover when the invasion

elininated a villain who only saw a pretty face until it
was too late.

Quote

attention exactly where you want it, and away from
things like your gadgets and weapons, which are of
course concealed as other items.

Agenda
You like to pretend that you're only out for yourself,
but that's a ruse to keep your friends and enemies
always guessing. Underneath the deception you have
a soft heart, and jut want to help those who have been
hit so hard by the war. Not that you would ever admit

Moment of Crisis
You had a choice: rescue the people or get away with
the jewels. Sometimes you feel guilty about your
choice when you think back on it. You've done good
here and there since then, but deep down you know
what you are.

Quote
“That sounds like your problem. I'm just here
for a little fun.”

Description
You are witty, provocative, irreverent, amoral, and
most of all and unpredictable. Some may complain
about your revealing costume, but you see it as just
another distraction for you to take advantage of.

Agenda
You've played both sides of the Possibility Wars a few
times. Even though you're flexible, you want to make
sure that there's a world left when you're done, and
the more time goes by the less likely that looks if the
High Lords get their way.

Moment of Crisis
You were a commercial airline pilot preparing to land
in Cairo just as the maelstrom bridge touched down in
Giza. When the radio went crazy with tales of attack
you knew you had to get your passengers out of there,
and duck a few Pakets as part of the deal. Maybe that's
what triggered your transformation, or maybe it was
when you went back as part of a volunteer crew to try
to get others out.

Quote
“Into the sky, Knight Flyers!”

Description
Your original costume was created when your flight
uniform transformed to the Nile Empire, and you've
had dozens more tailor made along the same lines
since. Your warplane is painted the same dark blue
as your uniform, and has diminished armament but
better flight range than a standard Corsair.

Agenda
You want to win this war—the right way. The High
Lords and their soldiers must be destroyed, but you'll
do anything to prevent civilians from getting caught
in the crossfire. You'd love to assemble a squadron of
like-minded pilots and support crew and take to the
air in force.

fabulous Stinger!

Quote
“Engage Stinger Turbo Booster!”

Description
You wear a costume inspired by your
racing colors, and styled like a dangerous
hornet or bee. When the mask is on, you
embrace the power and persona of
the masked rider. Your persona is
grim, and you speak forcefully and
gesture dramatically. However,
when you aren't wearing your
mask you're relatively cheerful
and mild-mannered.

Agenda
Winning is your nature,
whether it's races or
fighting evil. You take
every act of evil personally,
and fight tirelessly to
take revenge on the High
Lords who perpetrate such
crimes.

Quote
“I was not programmed for violence, but this situation
requires an exception.”

Description
You are a construct of metal, gears, and an eternium
core that should last several lifetimes. Your movements
are precise, and your voice is always quiet and even,
but inside your mind you burst with curiousity and
kindness. Biologicals tend to find you unsettling, but
an overcoat, hat, and sometimes a mask prevents most
trouble.

Agenda
You seek answers about your past and your purpose.
You don't know if you were built to battle the High
Lords or serve them. Whatever your designer had in
mind, you have decided the invasion must be stopped,
and the various cosms returned to their original states.
