What started out as a former poacher turned bounty hunter assasin eventually developed into the tigerstripe wearing Joey Tribiani meets MacGyver mercenary rogue known as Big Game. What I love about Game is he's the little guy with the larger than life personality. He just seems to lend himself to zany adventures, wild comedy, as well as stormy romance.

[edit] Personality

Easy going, fun loving, incredidbly flirty with females, and bit of a show off. Loves to both sing, and dance. Big Game comes across as a overconfident, yet lovable rogue. However despite his bravado underneath he is sensitive, slightly self loathing, and occasionally feels trapped in his "Big Game" persona.


[edit] Motivation

Good times, escape from boredom, and distraction from having to think about real life issues too much. Though he is a mercenary he is more motivated by thrills than actually acculmulating wealth.


[edit] Powers

Big Game has no actual superhuman powers, but does seem to be incredibly lucky on the survivability front. All his combat capabilities come from specialist equipment, training, raw talent, and dumb luck.

[edit] Travel

Big Game has the Leaping Pool thanks to his Cyber-strides.

[edit] Power Pool

Although Big Game has the leadership pool I like to refer to it as the "Mascot" pool, as his buffs are more down being inspirational in his bravado, and inhuman luckyness.

Big Game also has knowledge first aid through his access of the Medicine pool.

[edit] Abilities

Originally dependent on flashy gadgets, over the years Big Game has become extremely proficient with rifles, explosives, traps, tracking, and outdoor survival techniques.

Thanks to his early years of being a Brooklyn gang member he is proficient at picking locks, pockets, as well as being able to hot wire vehicles.During this time he also learned the basics of electrical, and mechanical engineering to further aid in the theft of car stereos, disabling alarms, ans stripping cars.

After years of bumming around the globe, spending his state lottery winnings, Big Game is very good at many practical extreme sports including climbing, SCUBA, and skiing.

He has an amazing grasp of improvised weaponry, devices, and contraptions thanks to being an avid fan of of the TV show MacGyver.

[edit] Vulnerabilities

  • Has no superhuman abilities.
  • No formal melee combat training.
  • Sucker for a pretty face.
  • Prone to bouts of lazyness.


[edit] Equipment

Big Game uses all manner of low to high technology equipment as well as being especially adept at improvisation if the situation requires it.

[edit] Tools of the Trade

  • Custom modified SR-70 assault rifle, with integral grenade launcher, and flame thrower.Big Game uses various custom ammunitions including armour piercing, hollowpoint, tracer, buckshot, bean bags, and silver rounds. He also carries a kit to modify the rifle to accept, and fire KM-Technologies .80 rounds for extra stopping power where a mission is likely to be mainly close quarters fighting.
  • Armourworks V-6 targetting monocle. Providing digital zoom, light amplifcation, and rangefinder capabilities.
  • Salvaged Longbow forcefield projector bot. A small hovering forcefield projector programmed to lock onto a transponder and stay close enough to protect the user, and nearby allies. Affectionetly known as 'Bob' thanks to the way it moves as it follows Game.
  • Model 36 Smith & Wesson revolver. Borrowed from the Cybernetic PPD officer COP during the 2007 Rikti invasion, yet never returned.
  • Baseball bat with the words "Monster Mash" in red paint along the side of it.
  • utility belt containing a taser, caltrops, web grenades, smoke grenades, knife, cheese wire, duct tape, flares, lock pick set, nylon cord, paperclips, blu-tack, and a multitool.
  • Occasionally wears an Armourworks Combat Vest decorated in his trademark tigerstriped livery. The armour is of lightweight polycarbinate, and plastic construction.
  • MkIII Cyber-strides invented by Doctor Mechano. This leather strapped, reinforced metal leg harness, uses a combination of anti-gravity generators, and pistons to give Big Game phenominal leaping ability.

[edit] Something Different

  • Big Game's dressing up box. currently located on his boat the Jelly Fish Dream is a large wooden crate filled with all manner of dubious quality costumes that he occasionally uses as diguises in his work. Very few of the outfits will pass any serious scrutiny but, amazingly they have given Big Game an edge on many occasion. Thrown into the box is everything from hats, wigs, beards, dodgy uniforms, a ball gown, his pirate outfit, the infamous Ice Cream Vendor disguise, and an authentic Ziggursky Penitentiary prisoner uniform. As well as being used for jobs its suspected some are purely recreational.

[edit] Character History

[edit] The Early Years

Antonio "Tony" Fedele was raised by his mother in Brooklyn, New York. He never knew his father, and had no other siblings.

Though actually quite intelligent, he never really applied himself at school, and fell in with a bad crowd. Through his teens to early adulthood he ran with one of Brooklyn's many gangs in an effort to protect himself from them very same gangs. It was during this time he picked up his various thieving skills, as well as picked up the basics of electrical engineering, and mechanics.

In an effort to get away from the gang culture, as well as trying to impress one of his many teen loves he took an art appreciation course at his community college. Surprisingly he retained much of what he learnt there and has a keen eye for valuable pieces. However despite his best intentions he soon fell back in with the gangs, and continued his criminal career.

[edit] The Lottery Years

When Tony was twenty one he struck lucky, winning over ten million dollars on the New York state lottery. He spent the next few years on an around the world tour engaging in all manner of extreme sports, and debaucherous activity. However he soon found having the money to do whatever he liked, plus constant recreation soon started to bore him. He then started to turn to more dangerous, and illegal pursuits to get his thrills. Eventually he discovered his love of Big Game hunting which then lead to poaching.

It was during his time as a poacher he killed his first man, a Game Warden seeking to protect Bengal Tigers in one of India's wildlife preserves. After killing the Warden Tony decided that hunting humans provided far more sport than hunting animals, and set himself up as an international bounty hunter. During this time he pretty much blew his fortune on exotic equipment, travelling, and training. He soon adopted the costumed persona of Big Game eventually ending up in the Rogue Ilses, to ply jis trade. As he became more confident he decided to go for the ultimate prey, and that mean't metahumans, leading him straight Paragon City.

[edit] Hunting Heroes and Humanity First

Not long after reaching Paragon, Big Game came into conflict with Rifleman, a hero with similar abilities to his own. After a lengthy, and devastating gun battle across Paragon, Rifleman over powered Big Game and he ended up in the Zig. However his incarceration didn't last long, and he escaped back into the city.

Not long after his escape he hooked up with the Human Supremacist Anti-Meta organisation Humanity First. Although Big game didn't subscribe to the group's irrational hatred of metas, he joined purely for the opportunity to test his skills. While a member of Humanity First he came into conflict with heroes such as Britanic, and COP. He even managed to settle the score with Rifleman, who he killed during an incident in Cuba.

However over time he started to become aware that his work with Humanity First had little to do with sport, and more with wholesale slaughter. It was at this time he started to consider abandoning the group.

Things came to a head early 2007 during the Tempest Virus scare, and the Riot in the Row. Humanity First leader Partisan decided to manipulate local paranoia over the Tempest Virus to cause chaos in Paragon, encourage anti-meta feelings against the Silent Tempest, his scapegoats the Lost, and the meta-human community in general, as well as providing a driver for recruitment into his organisation. During those events Big Game was captured after narrowly being foiled in his attempt to kill the Militia's Tygerboy, by his sister Wild Child.

Whilst a prisoner in the Zig Big Game decided to cut loose Humanity First, and start afresh his mercenary career.

[edit] The Immorality League

After once again escaping the Zig, Big Game went back to the Rogue Isles to pick up his mercenary career. He rented a room in Porte Oakes Salty Spitoon, and started to advertise his services at the Gallows. Soon after he came to the attention of European Villainous Immorality League's Echo Campbel, and was recruited into the group.

Since being with the Immorality League, Big Game has been involved with a number of stormy personal relationships, taken up an interest in monster hunting, captured the original Rikti Monkey's that Doctor Helios used to create his Monkey Mind Bombs, as well becoming one of the groups mainstays.

He has also since managed to alienate his old group Humanity First to the point of being added as a target in their war of terror. this has led to them arson bombing his home, manipulating the psychotic mutant Debauched into a vendetta against him, and amost killing him when they bombed the car he was borrowing.

As if that wasn't enough he also managed to anger Family Consigliere Morretti, after stealing the suit is son was meant to be buried in. After being kidnapped, and beaten by Morretti, and his goons, Big Game managed to redeem himself after saving the mobster's life during a Rikti attack.

When most of Big Game's closest friends left the Immorality League, he decided to leave with them.

[edit] The Pact

After leaving the Immorality League, Big Game became one of the founding members of the mercenary outfit known as the Pact, where despite being put forward for a tactical leadership position is quite content to just take things easy.

In an effort to try intill a sense of responsibility into Big Game he was appointed the group's Medical Officer. However once his medical knowledge was discovered to be little more than battlefield first aid, and things he picked up from the television he was replaced, and became the group's Security Officer instead.

When the Pact discovered Orebegan ruins, and the trapped mystic Edric Thorne while expanding their base of operations, Big Game became paranoid of Demonic invasion, or interference from other "Bath robe wearing nutjobs!" (Mystics, etc). As a precautionary measure he rigged the entire excavated area with exploses, so he could collapse it should anything ever come through.

It was during this time that Big Game became romantically involved with Pact teammate Echo Thompson. At first things went incredibly well, with Game actually feeling that he'd finally found the right girl and was finally ready to stay faithful, and settle down. However in a bitter irony just as Echo was starting to feel the same, and make her feelings known, Big Game started to panic and doubt leading to him distancing himself from her. To make things worse Echo's sister Ice was stabbed causing Echo to leave the Isles effectively disolving their relation ship.

Echo's leaving wasn't to be the only misfortune thanks to an an incredible blunder by Big Game, and fellow teammate Iron Alligator who managed to totally wipe the Pact's base of operations off the map, after a mix up with radio detonators. Rather than admit using far to much explosives in rigging the base, as well the mix up with the detonators, Big Game has completely lied about the circumstances leading to the base's destruction. Big Game maintains that him, and Gator blew the base to fend off the Demonic invasion he always feared.

[edit] The Corporation

The destruction of the Pact's base of operations effectively wiped them out as a business venture, thanks to the loss of physical resources, as well as all their contracts information. However the Corporation's CEO Mr. Sebastian, a long time ally of the Pact, offered to take them all into his own organistation. For a short period of time Big Game continued his mercenary career with them.

[edit] Hunting with the Hyenas

Hunting in a winter wonderland!.
Hunting in a winter wonderland!.

Big Game's career with the Corporation was to be shortlived thanks to the intervention of the mysterious organisation Eso-Tech and their monster hunting project the Hyenas. After their original Hyenas team is wiped out during an accident in their Nerva factory the remaining board members decide to recruit a new but experienced team of monster hunters to take their place. With some reservation Big Game was chosen to be the new team's leader. Eso-Tech agent the Peddler was tasked with bringing Big Game aboard, and did so after striking a deal with Game to pay off his debts to Family boss Morretti in exchange for his monster hunting expertise.

As the public face of the Hyenas Big game recruited a gaggle of misfits ho became a surprising successful monster hunter squad. The team's early successes included taking down a Winter Lord, and pacifying Deathsurge. Stranger still Game's Hyenas captured the hearts of the Rogue Isles masses, and some started to see them as sort of hometown heroes.
