I somehow had to think of this:
Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... A Thugs Mastermind.
I'd also like to quote Kyle Katarn: "No power is inherently good or evil, it's how you use them".
My original plan for my Praetorian was a DB/WP Brute. It's pretty easy to create a hero who harnesses their rage in the fight against evil. Makes for a rather cool anti-hero concept; practically classic.

Most of the men I referenced in the battles did not volunteer for military service. They were drafted. Refusing the draft was a federal crime. Those men had no choice. I take that back their choices were . . .
1. Volunteer and pick which branch of the service you served in.
2. Wait for the draft and get stuck where they needed bodies
3. Refuse and get arrested/become a wanted fugitive.

As long as the emergency TP receiving team doesn't lose any of the parts like last time, the idiots." Thug: "What was that last part again?" Heroic Mastermind: "Um, nothing! Just wishing you good luck!" |
