The Book of Durham Red
 

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - As a result of radioactive fallout from a nuclear war in 2150, Durham Red was born with a mutation which made her resemble a vampire in appearance and behavior, although she had no supernatural attributes. Shunned by other mutants, she joined the Search / Destroy agency at a young age and became a bounty hunter, or "strontium dog." While working for the agency she met Johnny Alpha and they were briefly romantically involved, but he was unable to trust her. (wikipedia.org)

Re: The Book of Durham Red - Breathing
 

Pretty straightforward concept here. She's being mutated into a vampire like character via radiation, becomes a Bounty Hunter, rolls with two guns and shoots on the move. This has been given the once over already by the heroes & sidekicks, so she's mostly ready to go from their point of view. Just seemed like their was a little confusion about the W requirement on her Vampirism power so maybe we need to re-phrase it somehow? This is a public design though so any public members that have any comments, questions, concerns, or suggestions are welcome to chime in. Especially if you know the character and have any theme insights.

Reads super clear to me. :up:

Nice and straight forward. Possibly a pretty potent healing, but doesn't seem overbearing. Very cool.

Re: The Book of Durham Red - Breathing
 

“If there are 3 or more wound markers on this card at the start of her turn” reads much clearer to me. :2cents:

Going for the blue skin, red hair look here.

Re: The Book of Durham Red - Breathing
 

The mini arrived today so I'll try to quick knock out the re-paint this week if I can. The mini has a water tile blue stripe down each leg. What do you want me to do with it? It can be left as is and try to color match the face so that it just looks like skin. I can paint over it with black paint to match the outfit. Or I can paint both the leg stripe and the face a lighter shade of blue so they are both skin tone but not quite so blue. She doesn't look super blue in those comic art pics I posted, so I was initially thinking I would go with a pale blue shading color I know GW makes.

Sounds good. Follow your gut.

Re: The Book of Durham Red - Breathing
 

Can’t wait to see the Bounty Hunters form into their own faction!

Re: The Book of Durham Red - Breathing
 

Should be fun. The one waiting in the wings will release to a nice little group and add some synergy as well. Jonah Hex is going to fit in nicely as well.

Re: The Book of Durham Red - Breathing
 

I haven't started on the mini yet, but it should be pretty easy to knock out quickly once I do. Any background ideas for the mini?

Anything sci-fi. That space shot in the last comic image looks like good inspiration.
