Joni-san 12-09-06, 01:50 PM	I thought we could have a small game here. You post a vague Eberron version of a famous comic book character and other posters guess who you are talking about. I'll start: Female Longtooth Shifter. Her lips taste like hazel, she has a long bushy tail and she doesn't need luck because she eats nuts. She once defeated the Lord of Blades (also saving a Warforged Psion)

With his blue and silver-tinted chain shirt, and +2 Large Mithril Shield of Throwing, Rodjers is one of the Argent Fists' brightest champions. The theocracy of Thrane commonly employs Rodjers, even bestowing him a formal military rank, and many of his foes across Khorvaire know him only as "The Captain from Thrane". Antonius Stark D'Cannith is one of the House's most celebrated artificiers. The inheritor to a mass fortune, Antonius is no stranger to the upper echelons of society, and is a noted playboy, rumored to have charmed even Queen Aurala herself with his unmatchable charisma. This force of personality mixed with his cunning intellect has made him one of the greatest Artificers in history, his prize invention being a full suit of armor, lighter than mithril but stronger than adamantine and filled with enchantments ranging from flight, to built-in wands of Magic Missile. The "Adamantine Man" is a famed adventurer, and bane to ne'er-do-wells across the nations.

IIRC, there is a feat in the PHBII that lets you use your shield as a throwing weapon, a la Captain America. A Shifter Rogue/Barbarian. Constantly smoking old cigars. Remembers little about his past, but occaisionaly has flashbacks. He was was part of a pre-warforged house Cannith and Vadalis(sp? The one with the mark of handleing) experiment to create the perfect warrior. Oh, c'mon. It's not like shifters weren't built to be Wolverine, anyway. Shifter healing factor? That's subtle! ;)

Most people believe that Thom Tharashk is a Half-Orc Ranger/Bloodhound from the Shadow Marches. Those in the House know that he is a valuable agent who has earned the right to bear the House name, despite being a Changeling. But only Thom Tharashk's closest friends realize that he is, in fact, a full-fledged Doppelganger from Xoriat named T'homm T'harrsk. A rogue Artificer, experimenting with cross-planar communications systems, accidentally teleported the hapless T'homm T'harrsk here, and was so surprised by his appearance that he immediately dropped dead of fright. Stranded on this alien world, T'homm T'harrsk has set out to make a name for himself by turning his powers to the pursuit of criminals and the infiltration of terrorist organizations.

Ryuu_Tenshi 12-11-06, 11:02 AM	A wizard has trapped what he believes to be an ancient Quori spirit within a glass jar. The truth is that this Quori is a being from even before the era of the Giants, indeed, from the beginning of the universe itself. If he is not released, the Turning of the Age will never come, and all will fall under the sway of the Dreaming Dark. There is one Daelkyr among those trapped in Khyber that is considered mad by even her fellows. She sits alone in a swirling vortex of mad colours, talking to floating fish and babbling about "Green Mouse Telephone Ice Cream" ... They're from comic books... (I'm sure more can be done of this group :3 )

The "Adamantine Man" is a famed adventurer, and bane to ne'er-do-wells across the nations. However, these days, Antonius has mysteriously changed. Owing to may odd dreams of late, he has begun a drive to organize the many adventurers across Khorvaire, in order to prevent the collateral damage that occurs when they fight agents of the secret societies and cabals. Those who do not join with him are taken into custody and brought to a secret fortress, located in Mabar, for imprisonment, until they repent. He is opposed in his efforts by Stephen Rodjers, the Captain of Thrane and his former ally, The Amazing Drider-Man. While the two sides fight, the various secret societies and cabals are ignored, and act with impunity.

DoveArrow 12-11-06, 07:48 PM	He's a rakshasa who has an almost unnatural obsession with lasagna. He lives in the Demon Wastes with a human slave and a feebleminded shifter, whom he enjoys torturing mercilessly. He is often seen carrying a small statue of a bear, and is occasionally plagued by a younger rakshasa, whose vanity knows no bounds. Hint: It's not Superman. :P
Ryuu_Tenshi 12-11-06, 08:10 PM	Never heard anything about it ... who makes it? Neil Gaiman wrote it, and it's published by Vertigo. Considered by many to be one of the best graphic novels ever written. Def. pick it up if you like edgier, nonconvnetional stuff.

Must be Calvin & Hobbes. At least once every winter I make it a point to make a Calvin & Hobbes snowman. This year, I was thinking I'd do the one standing in front of a cannon with a big hole in its chest.
Romulus LoneWolf 12-12-06, 11:49 PM	The Brelish noble Bruss Ir'Wann is reknowned in Sharn for being a wealthy patron of charity and a notorious fop of a womanizer; his eccentricities are excused due to the memory of the tragedy of his youth, when he witnessed his parents being struck down by a thief. No one would ever think of linking him to the mysterious Bat, an Urban Ranger of almost legendary skill, believed by many to actually be a monster of some sort..
ChaoticGood 12-13-06, 12:04 AM	Umm... guys? Aren't we forgetting to guess the one that came before us before we enter the ring ourselves? DarkWarriorKarg mentioned The Amazing Drider-Man... I guess we don't really have to guess at that one. :P DoveArrow's is Garfield. Huzzah!'s is... I have no idea. Darth Syntax's is definitely Calvin & Hobbes. Oh, those "horrific awakened snow-golems"... priceless. :D Romulus's is Batman. Nobody's got an answer on mine yet? For shame, Justice League of Khorvaire fans, for shame...
Paulon 12-13-06, 12:57 AM	I didn't answer because I didn't have a new one to contribute, but if you insist, the answer is Martian Manhunter.

The leader has an abberant mark of scorching ray that fires from his eyes, one has an abberant mark granting him iron body, another's abberant mark grants her the ability to use Ghostform... ;)
Neofish 12-18-06, 05:00 PM	How about the simingly bright red fiendish orc summoned during the last war as an ultimate dooms day weapon. He has a giant stone fist grafted where his right hand should be and was found and raised by an old brelish wizard who had a dread fascination with all things aberrant. The fiendish orc now currently works in sharn as a spcialist inquisitive for the Brelish government that deals mainly in fighting the supernatural and aberrant. This well accomplished inquisitive is constantly harrowed by a crazied leader of the cult of the dragon below and claims that the fiendish orc is in fact more than he appears to be and has been fortold that he is in fact the key to bringing about a new age of demons.

He is believed to use a rare force, called Incarnum, that manifests in the form of rags over his body.

The one with the components that allow him to shoot his arms out to ridiculous lengths, activate oil-slick, and so forth? He works for the Sharn Watch, but they never really take him seriously, especially because of the ridiculous command words his components require. And I forgot to mention his young expert sidekick and her awakened dog.
