"So you were cursed and bound into a single item then? Damn, is there no way to reverse that?" Then a thought occurs to him. "But this was a long time ago, so this girl must be linked somehow to that princess in order so that she can use the item, correct?"

Oh yeah... don't have any of those skills or feats, so I didn't miss anything.

No mistakes? Really? I'm improving. :D

What skill checks? Did I miss a post?

"Great? Nah, I'm not a Freedom Leaguer, I don't save the world on my lunchbreak and thwart alien invasions on my afternoon shift." "Yeah, a story for a story is only fair," he smiles at Lullaby.

"Fair enough," he nodded, before smiling at the next question. "A lot of them, yeah." After a moment's thought, he picks one. "A few years ago, I ended up in Belfast chasing a drugs shipment. I was going round the place, trying to get information. Didn't find any, until I met a bloke calling himself Rhymer. If you know anything about the magic community, you'll have heard of the man, simply terrifies any mage you mention his name to, but at the time I was clueless. So he says to me 'I'll lead you to these guys if you help me out with a canine problem I'm having.' Fair enough, the guy's looking into a dog-fighting ring. He leads me to this warehouse full of men, and then hands me silver-tipped arrows. That shouldv'e tipped me off, but nooo, I drop from the rafters into the middle of a pack of werewolves. If he hadn't given me the arrows or they hadn't been in the process of transforming, I'd've been mauled to death quickly. As it was, I barely got out alive." He takes a sip of coffee, before continuing. "So I leave the warehouse, shouting for this Rhymer. Well, shouting at him, but he'd gone and buggered off, leaving me with a warehouse full of half-naked guys who'd reverted back from wolf form. Out of curiosity, I open the crates... to find my drugs shipment." He smiled at the memory. "Damn that Thomas Rhymer, I found out a lot about him the weeks after that. Barely anyone outside the magical community knows who he is, but he's saved our ass more times than the Master Mage, arsehole he may be."

"Hurting, yes. Thing is, I take it better than you," smirked Arrowhawk, putting a blunt arrow in between the man's eyes and laying him out. "Told ya!" he laughed as he leapt over the man's prone body and into the doorway behind him.

No, I'm talking about 8 years in the past, and in the UK. I ask because you said 'in and around' Freedom City, so wasn't sure how relevant it was supposed to be to current events.

Would it have to be within a certain timeframe and area? I was considering doing a milestone, like Hawky's thirtieth, but that's eight years and an cross-Atlantic journey ago... Or alternately, retconning Arrowhawk's birthday to match mine would place him idealy within Freedom for his thirty-eighth...

Damn this, Arrowhawk is not having a good day today. First he gets Injured, then fails to knock the thug out...

Even as he moved with the impact, Arrowhawk felt the bullet rip through his vest and bite into his shoulder, gritting his teeth to avoid shouting out in pain. It was all he could do to avoid the grasps of the men, hitting one of the men with a solid punch to the face. It wasn't quite hard enough to take him down, so Arrowhawk moved a few feet away to keep both the north and south attackers an equal distance away.

"Humour me. I've been doing this for eighteen years, there's an incredibly high chance that I've run into something much more convoluted." Arrowhawk stirs his coffee before taking a large gulp of the hot liquid. "It's pretty much a given, to be honest," he frowned.

Costumed adventuring is how I've been rresponding to it as.

Well, the 'Autofire on everything' wasn't my suggestion, so I don't know. My original request was to have an alternate power feat for the array within his bow device as part of the character's abilities rather than in the Device container. So his Device would look as follows: Device 3 (Easy to Lose; Bow and trick arrows): 9 pp Alternate power 1 for Bow array: 1 pp Devices: Bow & Arrows Blast 3 (Feats: Improved Critical, Mighty 3, Variable Descriptor [bludgeoning/piercing/slashing]) Normal, blunt and bladed arrows AP: Fatigue 4 (Extras: Ranged) Tranquiliser arrows AP: Nullify 5 (technology descriptor) EMP arrows AP: Obscure 5 (visual; 100’ radius, Extras: Independent) Smokebomb arrows AP: Stun 4 (Extras: Ranged) Taser arrows AP (outwith Device): Blast 3 (Extras: Autofire, Flaws: Full-round action, feats: Mighty 2, Variable Descriptor [bludgeoning/piercing/slashing]) Rapid Shot Therefore, anyone who gets his bow and quiver wouldn't gain access to rapid shooting, but Arrowhawk is able to do it but can't without his bow, hence the feat costing slightly more than it would as part of an Easy to Lose device.

Hold on a fingerlicking minute here, thought Arrowhawk. "When you say she needs to be told the truth, do you mean she's unaware of you or something you've done? And what does a being two millenia old need with a young singer?"

"No, I don't mind. I quite fancy a coffee." As they walked there, he thoght he should make small talk. "So, how long have you been singing for?"

I'm up and down like a yo-yo tonight, thought Arrowhawk to himself as he walked off to the side and into the back of the club. He leaned against the wall, electing to wait for her to get ready in her own good time.

I'm haflway through it. Well, more like a quarter.

It was there. It was always there. :bat:

"When I say now, I mean NOW!" growled Arrowhawk, a blunt arrow straight towards the big guy's head as he snarls the last word. He takes a few steps forwards after his shot. "Now calm down, mate."

The house rule changes don't come into effect until your changes are approved, right? If not, lower my attack roll by 1. It probably matters not, as that is both a very high roll and a potential critical hit. :D

Yes, but I'm succinct, choosing each word with precision for maximum impact. [/excuse]

My dissertation is shorter than that damn thing.

Oh, from your original post I'd got the impression it would be one feat in place of Connected, rather than an 'extra' for the feat.

"Give it time, you're still young. You've got a long time to find fame and fortune yet." He watched the dollar fall to the ground, not even flinching as it flew at him. "I could use a friend." He pondred for a second. "I'll leave you to finish your act, maybe speak to you after you finish." He quietly leaves the room to head back to his seat.
