Character Profile: Moose Master

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.
