Eskimo ice-skating karate killers
Context
These peculiar fellows were in a 1970s kungfusploitation DC Comics, Richard Dragon Kung Fu Fighter. It made more sense back then but… not that much really.
They have a profile mostly because of the “wait, what ?” factor. I can’t think of a RPG campaign that wouldn’t be improved with them. Yep, even that one.
Background
- Group Affiliation: Hirelings for Ojo.
- Base Of Operations: Near the North pole.
- Height: 5’4” average Weight: 150 lbs average.

Powers and Abilities
Those stone cold Inuit killers are excellent karatekas.
They wear super-sharp ice skates, both to deliver deadly bladed kicks and because they usually operate on ice that has been treated with the Ice-10 compound. Ice-10 makes ice 10 times as slick as ordinary ice, making it impossible to stand. It is presumably a reference to Ice Nine .
History
Look – do you really want to know about a story with “Eskimo karate killers” with murdering skates ? Seriously.
They worked for Professor Ojo.

Ice-10
When applied on ordinary ice, Ice-10 usually gets 8 RAPs of Friction Control (Friction decrease).
Furthermore, people trying to move will have to fight prone, with a -3CS to their OV/RV. People standing up and not moving will just have a -1CS OV/RV and very restricted moves (although Dragon somehow managed to jump up without cracking his skull).
