Tactics: Elf Hunter will always adapt his approach to what he encounters but he is first and foremost a scout and an investigator.

Moderate-High Healing Factor: This makes him very hard to kill but he sure does get hurt a lot.
Improved Balance and Agility: Not too much but definitely more than human.

Scared of spiders.
Tactics:
He just sort of shows up and tries to do things. Usually he gets the crap beat out of him but every now and then he actually does something useful like plant a tracking device on a criminal’s get away car or rescues a lost cat. He rescues lot of cats. Everyone loves cats.
Gear: Carries nun-chucks because they are cool looking and his fans love them (despite the fact they are horrible weapons) Has access to Mousecorp hero gadgets but is horrible at using them. Other preferred tools are a collapsible staff and various smoke bombs.
Motives: Was rescued by Captain Justice as a child from an international pedophile ring. Ever since then he has wanted to be a hero or possibly a Mousecorp princess. He doesn’t know but it turns out that he does have some powers so he was happy to take the opportunity to become Pinnacle City’s newest Corporately approved superhero. He just wants to find himself.
Personality: Mopey, whiny and cynical. Prone to mood swings. Still he refuses to quit chasing his dreams. Occasional moments of genuine heroism.
Hobbies: Watches a lot of cartoons and anime. Cuts himself just to watch it heal. Listens to horrible K-pop music. Rants on Twitter.
Appearance and Costume: Medium height with a slender but toned build. Hair is short and usually dyed either blue or black. Costume is a dark purple wombat themed suit with a rather silly looking helmet.
Quirks: Tried to get transgender surgery but his healing factor was so strong that his junk just simply grew back. Also he cannot get piecings and tattoos only last a couple of weeks. Still he does get the occasional one just to cheer himself up.
Archetype: Reluctant Warrior
Name/Alias: Dwayne Cartwright
Age: Late twenties
Power Level: 6 Mid-level super. Does his best to not show his full power in public.
Background: Canadian. Ex pro-hockey player. Recluse, Environmentalist.
Alignment: Neutral/Fencesitter
Politics: Center-Leftist
SSH: Mid-Beta / High Delta
Role in the story: Interesting side character. Living Meme
Powers:
Summon ‘Spirit Moose’: Can summon and control up to three Spirit Moose constructs without exertion (and up to five with some effort.) These constructs appear as a fully grown bull moose and can do anything a moose can do (like trample opponents.) If killed or unsummoned they will disappear in a wisp of smoke. ‘Killed’ spirit mooses cannot be resummoned until Moose Master has rested overnight.
Strength of the Moose: Greatly enhanced strength. Improved stamina and durability. Resistance to poison.
Talk to Moose: Can talk to and control any Moose, deer or caribou within his line of sight out to several miles.
Talk to dogs: Can talk to but NOT control any dogs within roughly two hundred meters.
Skills:
Skilled boxer with solid fundamentals.
Very skilled with staff and stick fighting.
Familiar if not skilled with civilian shotguns and hunting rifles.
Self-taught mechanic and electrician.
Solid tactical awareness. Very good at sizing up possible threats.
Weaknesses:
Way too trusting and naive.
Depends too much on his opponent not taking him seriously.
Slow to react to sudden threats or ambushes.
Tactics:
When forced to use his full strength Moose Master can hit very hard but he lacks the endurance and durability of a true melee bruiser (battlecruiser principle.) This means that against a superpowered opponent he must end the fight quickly or flee at the first chance he gets.
Gear: Moose Master normally fights crime using a reinforced hockey stick. He prefers this weapon as it allows him to trip and hook opponents while at the same time being able to precisely control just how hard he hits someone (as his general non-lethal approach.)
In a ‘serious fight’ he will usually ditch the stick or staff and employ a pair of brass knuckles or even grab a shotgun.
Motives: Moose Master is very reclusive and unsure what to do with himself. While he occasionally fights street crime and assists the RCMP his heart just isn’t in it. He is quite happy to make environmentalist propaganda videos for the government but otherwise tries to keep a low profile.
Personality: Very stoic with a dry sense of humor.
Hobbies: Loves sports and pro-wrestling. Misses his days an an athlete. Watches nature documentaries and 80’s action films.
Appearance and Costume: Tall with medium-heavy build (Light Heavyweight). Short brown hair. Usually clean shaven but will sometimes go days without shaving.
Preferred crime fighting attire is an over the top plaid and denim outfit with a toque that has a pair of plastic moose antlers.
Quirks:
Diet: Does not eat moose meat or venison (because that would just be weird.) Avoids red meat in general.
Just a song I thought I’d share with you while we wait for Doomsday in America (or possibly Trumpmas)
Beast in Black — Blood of a Lion
This is a very cheesy very 90’s style powermetal band and I’m happy to have found them.
The other new band I’ve discovered in March in Arms. Which seems to be to be an American Sabaton in the making as all their songs are about the world wars.
March in Arms — 1914
Because I haven’t posted anything for a while.
There are some very interesting rumors going around the smoking ruins of Star Wars land. Up to an including the possibility of Disney and Lucasfilm straight up writing off the Disney sequels as non-canon or fading them out of existence.
Midnight’s Edge has the details.
The internal fighting and politics within Lucasfilm seems like a very interesting topic. Personally my hopes aren’t too high but fans will never forget between what we got and what we could have had.
Still struggling and still healing.
My writing is completely stalled out and directionless but hopefully that will change with time.
Meanwhile I’ve been re-reading the Honor Harrington books and going through my music collection.
Just a quick update.
Recovery from the err… [Colony Drop] is very slowly happening.
The problem is that I have a very long way to go and I’m so used to not asking for help that I have no idea what I should be asking for or where I should be focusing my efforts.
At least my physical health seems to have recovered.
The battle now mental and spiritual.
I want to thank whoever’s been praying for me. It’s made a difference.
I’m alive and very confused.
Still not too sure what has happened but there was definitely a spiritual aspect to whatever it was that hit me.
I hope to recover soon and one way or another I’m coming out of this a much wiser more mature man.
