Thundra’s Femizonia

Thundra is a classic, energic Fantastic Four character. And there's a lot to say about her, due to her long career as a time traveller. So let's start with explanations about her mutable, odd, 23^rd century possible future -- Femizonia. As of May of 2021, this once-enormous profile is being rewritten and reorganised as much more readable chapters.

Sacrifice

(Evangeline M'Baré)

A young super-heroine from Wakanda, with budding mutant magic. She was a Player Character in an early 1990s MSH campaign, because I like being 25 years early to the party. As of April of 2021, this profile has received Panther-blessed portraits.

alttext

Agent Triangle

An original LGBT super-heroine. Agent Triangle was a Player Character in a DC Heroes tabletop role-playing campaign during the 1980s and 1990s. As of April of 2021, added some portraits. I've been doing that a lot lately.

Carrie Smith

(Temps short stories)

A character from the 1991 Temps short stories about odd superhumans. Flying activist lass trying to be a super-heroine in London. As of April of 2021, this profile received portraits making Barney Rubble.

alttext

Warden-Ensigns Julien & Nicolas

A couple of elite Grey Warden fighters, specialised as shock heavy infantry. They appear in David Gaider's Dragon Age: The Calling prequel novel. As of April of 2021, I finally had the tools to do some decent illustrations for 'em. Which is great !

alttext

Sunbeam crew

(On a Sunbeam)

The setting and ensemble characters from On a Sunbeam, a 2018 sci-fi romance/coming of age graphic novel. Intriguing space setting -- in space -- and attaching cast.

alttext

Yukio the wild one

(Part 1)

The comic book version of Yukio, the quasi-suicidal punk ninja Tokyo girl. A close ally of both Wolverine and Storm. As of September of 2020, this profile had a style review, and was split in half since it was just over the threshold.

alttext

Dex Parios, P.I.

The noir private investigator in Portland, who stars in the Stumptown comics series written by Greg Rucka. A mostly realistic, attaching detective and protector.

alttext

Telekinian

A Brooklyn lad with minor telekinetic powers. Good friend of Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat! Ian is mostly supporting cast though.

alttext

Operator

(Frankie Charles)

Frankie as she appeared during the "Batgirl of Burnside" era. From supporting cast to (fleetingly) inheritor of the Oracle mantle and back to supporting cast again. Talented computer security expert with an interest in super-heroics.

alttext

Lana Kennedy

(Global Frequency)

A memetics and xenolinguistics expert on the Global Frequency. Which was some of Warren Ellis' best work in comics, really.

alttext

Magister Maevaris Tilani

Mae appears in the (pretty good) Dragon Age comics books, and has a cameo in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Powerful mage and politician from Tevinter, allied with Varric, Alistair and the Inquisition.

alttext

Northstar

(Profile #1 - Classic)

The classic/early career of Alpha Flight's Northstar. Super-speed flight. This profile also explains the historical context. As of June of 2018, the illustrations are all HD, the text is more aerodynamic, and there are low-drag M&M stats.

alttext

Captain Maggie Sawyer

(Part 1 - the 1980s)

This is Maggie as she appeared during the 1980s, back when she was essentially Superman's "Commissioner Gordon" equivalent. Sharp cop in the process of inventing a police unit capable of dealing with superhumans.

Xena, warrior princess

(Part #1)

Our larger, more modern writeup for the great and mighty Xena during her 1990s action/adventure TV series. From bloodthirsty ancient warlord (well, warlady) to epic fantasy heroine for good! As of May of 2018, this profile was cleft into three parts through careful use of a chakram. Because it may have been a tiny bit long, yeah.

alttext

Leliana

(Profile #1 - Early)

Chapter one of our coverage for Leliana, one of the major characters in the Dragon Age video game saga. Pseudo-French spy, manipulator, lover, killer, archer, bard, singer, assassin, fashionista, nun and other things. As of March/April of 2018, did various small improvements and additions. Everything will get reworked later this year (depending upon Nvidia GPUs...), but that'll hold the fort...

alttext

Alamen Tabris, the Hero of Ferelden

(Dragon Age: Origins) (Profile #1 - Thug life)

Our sample, fleshed out Hero of Ferelden - the Player Character in the Dragon Age: Origins video game. As of January of 2018 this profile has been entirely rewritten, and restatted, as part of a refresh of our Dragon Age material. It's also getting split in two so it's shorter to read. There'll another pass during the Spring or Summer...

Jack aka Subject Zero

(Part #1)

The most powerful human telekinetic in Mass Effect. The main problem with "Jack", a.k.a. Subject Zero is that she's a crazy, bloodthirsty, uncontrollable street punk... or maybe things are more complicated than they seem. As of July 2017, our Jack profile was cleft in two since it was slightly too long.

alttext

Chosen One

(Alessa-Maria Hassan) (Profile #1 - Arroyo)

Our sample Chosen One - the Player Character in the Fallout 2 video game. The deadly Alessa-Maria's mutant brain makes her a perfect predator of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Ferociously overhauled and reillustrated in January, 2017, and M&M stats added.

alttext

Charme the Thief

From the video game Recettear, a good example of the thief archetype from Japanese heroic fantasy games. With magical gameplay powers, obvs.

alttext

Nekev Nisrok the bounty hunter

(Profile #1 - Early)

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.

alttext

The Syonide who clashed multiple times with the Outsiders. Manhuntress with speciality weapons.

alttext

Shinobi Shaw

A minor foe of the X-Men, chiefly associated with the Upstarts and the Hellfire Club during the 1990s. He's lamentable but you don't always want to break out Magneto or Darkseid.

alttext

Karma

(Profile #1)

This is for X'ian Coy Manh while she was working with the New Mutants, during the 1980s - plus her known earlier life. Vietnamese mutant lass with possession powers.

alttext

Captain Marvel

(Phyla-Vell) (Profile #1 - pre-Quasar)

Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell)'s daughter, born well after his death (it's complicated). Young would-be legacy cosmic heroine in the early stages of her career. This profile stops as she becomes Quasar.

Obscure character with odd mind-swapping powers. Apparently a criminal mercenary.
