The Book of Executioner
 

_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - “Skurge was born in Jotunheim, and later became a warrior, gaining the name Executioner after fighting in a war against the Storm giants. Skurge has always had feelings for Amora, the Enchantress, and regularly aids her in various evil schemes to gain control of Asgard. However, the Enchantress only manipulates him, using her charms to keep Skurge under her thrall. Loki, the trickster god, also has used Skurge many times.” (Wikipedia, 2012).

NAME = EXECUTIONER
SECRET IDENTITY = SKURGE

SPECIES = ETIN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = WARRIOR
PERSONALITY = SAVAGE

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 7

MOVE = 5

AXE SLASH TELEPORTATION
After moving and instead of attacking, you may roll 12 combat dice. Place Executioner on any empty space within X spaces of his current location, where X equals the number of skulls rolled. You may choose one figure that was adjacent to Executioner before using this special power and place it on an empty space adjacent to Executioner. Moved figures will not take any leaving engagement attacks. If a figure other than Executioner is moved at least one space with this power, you may roll 1 unblockable attack die against that figure. This special power can only be used once per round.

GIANT KILLER
When Executioner attacks Huge figures, add 2 attack dice.

SUPER STRENGTH

Not sure he should be Asgardian if Loki isn't, but otherwise looks good.

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

Hmm, thanks, I think I missed that aspect of his biography ... here's what Wiki says about his species:

"Skurge possessed the superhuman abilities of a typical male Asgardian. Due to his unique hybrid physiology, with a half Frost-Giant and half Skornheimian pedigree, Skurge's physical strength, stamina and durability were considerably greater than those of the average Asgardian male."

So what do you guys think for his species here if he's half Frost-Giant and half Skornheimian?

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

The Frost Giants are Etins, so Half-Etin?

That sounds like so wrong . . . :lol:

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

We might be best off just going with Etin as it's got more potential for usefulness mechanically ....

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

Half-Breed?

Skornheimian Frost-Giant?

Design looks good Bats. Nice to see him finally out. 8)

Here's some pix from the Brainstorming thread. Thank goodness they are still there and didn't get lost somehow like others have :p

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

Thanks, Hambone! And thanks for the pictures. I hadn't gotten around to looking yet. :-) Much appreciated and linking now!

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

Design looks good. No idea on the species right now. My first thought was to just make him Etin for possible future synergies.

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

Great Sentinel counter. I do love the reuse of Giant Killer. That Jandar dude never got any love, except maybe against Krug.

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

He doesn't like giants too much, so he is extra nasty versus them. :D

Re: The Book of Executioner - Design Phase
 

Yep - he's been battling them since he was born. Felt like a perfect fit.
