Cactus Brawler
From Handbook of the Union Universe
Character concept / User contact info - no heading Cactus Brawler is from a far away hugely massive planet a place where it was plant life and not mammalian that was dominate. In this world all sentient life descends from the first proto-plants a race of plants that were highly adaptive to their environments.
Some of these creatures came to live in the vast mineral rich deserts of the Planet and became the tribe Cactus Brawler is descended from.
As time passed various wars between the tribes occurred and it was the Forest tribe whose immense size and tough bodies who eventually conquered most of the world into one vast Empire.
And so due to the Empires presence peace rained for millennia until the Emperor Redleaf XCV rose to the throne. The Emperor paranoid about assassins ordered his army to exterminate all the martial arts schools not under military control.
Eventually the soldiers came hunting one Master Flin-Chi leader of the desert fist school of fighting. Though he fought bravely and skilfully he was old and his enemy’s numbers were vast, upon discovering his master’s death the young Kak-Tus Brore-Lars flew into a rage and slew many soldiers as he regained his composure he swore to destroy the empire.
Over time his guerrilla warfare actions lead the soldiers and citizens of the empire to name him ‘The Demon of the Kaliback Wastelands’ and spoke of him in near supernatural dread.
But the Emperor was cunning and managed to trick Kak-Tus into assaulting a supply ship, upon entering the ship Kak-Tus was launched into space, the ships warp drive set to constantly changing random co-ordinates.
Eventually the ship made its way to Earth where it was shot down by Vanguard Forces. The loss of his one way home again sent Kak-tus berserk and he assaulted the assembled heroes of Paragon city, eventually however he was subdued and sent to the Zig.
Escaping from the Zig he regards this world with disgust and intends to bring them the freedom of self choice by bringing down both the Governments of the world and Tyrants like Lord Recluse.

His actions fall into one of two motivations.
1. Something to do for fun 2. Something to help bring about freedom for everyone.
[edit] Powers
[edit] Primary Powers
The Desert Fist School of fighting: Years of training in Martial arts have given Kak-Tus a nigh on invulnerable body. Likewise his knowledge of life energy and its use in martial arts allow his blows to hit with devastating force.
[edit] Secondary Powers
Gravity advantage: Due to being from a planet with much higher gravity than the planet Earth with some focus Kak-Tus is able to propel himself into vast leaps that can easily clear buildings.
[edit] Additional Powers
Adaptive Physiology: A left over trait from his ancestors allowing his body to rapidly adapt to an environment allowing his body to conserve stamina that would be otherwise lost. Due to recent radiation exposure this has also given him a minor healing factor. A side effect of this process can occur from his diet for example after eating one of the Wailer Demons found in the Rogue Islands his body has grown a small pair of wings and a slight preference for singing when drunk.
[edit] Abilities
Art of the Shadowed Mind: Though his body is harder than diamond his mind has always been open to the attacks of psychics. Noting this a brother in arms by the name of ‘Twilight Shinobi’ taught Kak-Tus a method of temporally shielding the mind from such assaults.
[edit] Vulnerabilities
Though his body can withstand almost any attack his mind is a minefield of regrets and bad memories this leaves him vulnerable to psychic attacks.
[edit] Equipment
When feeling that a battle may be incredibly tough (which ain’t that often) uses a selection of armour acquired from Vanguard.
