New Villain - Kestrel

I whipped this up this morning. Kestrel is a villain I've had since the late 90's. I finally broke down and commissioned some artwork for him, and several other of my characters. The illustration was done by Joe Singleton.

That is a master villain. Alert, mobile, durable, and deadly. Only thing he seems to be missing is a cadre of lackeys and a super-aerie, or does he? Heroes pursue at your own peril.  Wink

Yeah, I got motivated last night, and finally put together a decent looking sheet for him. I'm working on a couple of others right now.

No, he's one of my oldest villains, and I just felt like putting him up for you guys to enjoy.

For some reason I can't seem to see about half of the attached characters that are put up on the forum.  Might try another browser.

After a few encounters, I'm sure you'd change your mind. Wink

Just by name, reminds me of a hero I played many years back called Osprey.  Visually speaking, a bit more anthropomorphic (birdlike) crossed with the old Hawk & Dove look.  It was a Legion of the Superheroes kind of game, so an interstellar avian race that lived in vacuum in asteroid belts worked.

(how else do you explain Bird powers - including wings and heightened senses, Telepathy, life support, Absorption, and a weakness of mute).  His powers were all racial based except the absorption, which was caused by the stellar radiation exposure.

I made a slight tweak to Kestrel's write-up. Also, how many of you guys would like to see a full color download of him?

The file seems corrupted, i can't see his sheet Sad

The artwork is cool though
  

Since the media took over more and more aggressively the american lifestyle, people started to forget about us and our deeds, until we became legends, pure fantasy in their collective imagination...
