Fourth part of our big Moonstone profile, our karlastravaganza. This profile covers her time with the Thunderbolts when she was powered by two Moongems rather than just one. This changed her power level, obvs.

Now with much better illustrations and upgraded texts and DC Adventures game stats.
And yes, there’ll eventually be a Luc Orient profile. Eventually.

Nagi the lancer, a polearms (esp. naginata) expert from the Recettear video game. Also, very lost.
DCH players might note that the Recettear writeups often come with interesting little construct to simulate JRPG character powers (though Nagi may not be the best example, I’ll admit. ANYWAY.)
Also her eyes are colour-coordinated with our site, so we appreciate that.

A superb sniper working as an assassin, which is of course useful for many stories.
Now with revised texts, much better illustrations (though admittedly both upgrades were done a while ago before I had to switch to fixing some problem or the other and lost track. ANYWAY.) and DC Adventures game stats.

A sample, hardcore bounty huntress working for the Empire during the Old Republic era (specifically the Cold War era), as explored in Star Wars: the Old Republic. One mean Rattataki who’ll take any Mandalorian at their own game.

A second take on Mugen from the Samurai Champloo animé, this time by Peter. Hip-hop raggamuffin medieval Japan swordsman of astounding skill and disastrous attitude.

read more

From the Recettear indie video game, a handy Generic Heroic Fantasy Animé Adventurer – with a sword. He’s not the smartest guy on the block, but he means well.

A superhuman strongman Barb Wire clashed with in 2015. Alcoholic, possibly brain-damaged, thinks he’s a mix of Thor and Mel Gibson in Braveheart. One dangerous train wreck of a man.

An overview of Jimmy Olsen as he specifically appeared in those goofy, surreal Jimmy Olsen, Superman’s Pal comics of the Silver Age. Super duper !

Continuing our occasional coverage of Disney princesses (especially those with super-powers) with Elsa from Frozen. She could join the X-Men and allow Iceman to return to his accounting career, heh?

read more

The heroines of an odd and cute little video game about running a magic items shop for dungeon-delving adventurers in a Generic Fantasy Setting. The inept but very friendly Recette, and the grumpy but well-trained fairy Tear.

read more

Another example of a Star Wars: the Old Republic player character. It’s our sample Imperial Agent, a spy and assassin for the Empire and the Sith… or perhaps not entirely. Deadly spy and field agent with her own agenda.

Another very early foe of Iron Man (Tony Stark). Time-travelling Ancient Egyptian evil sorcerer, so it prolly was a Monday.

A sample smuggler Player Character during the Old Republic of the Star Wars universe (Legends division). Free-wheeling, sassy lioness person with a blaster, a ship and a talent for having talents.
