CyberPunkforTheHolidays2012 - Herbert Build 2012

 

Name: Herbert Combs

SIN: Fake SIN only.

Manitou Algonquin Council

 

Herbert grew up in Quebec as a poor orc kid, growing up in a racially divided neighborhood and became a cop. He and a buddy who was human were the white and black cop of the day. They worked every case involving both metatypes and made a name for themselves. He worked hard, was basically honest, but also vengeful.  He worked for a special vice squad that reported to a Captain who was crooked.  He became the Captain's gunfighter and executioner who would work crooked cases, plant evidence, and eliminate threats; all in the name of justice.  Well one mission led him to a cult leader. At age 29 he confronted him, a hardened detective of 10 years on the force.  The cult leader won, and when he woke up his partner was dead, eaten by rats and he was being feasted on.  He got up, killed the rats, and realized he was a Wendigo. He's been after the Wendigo since.  He then moved out to the sticks in the Manitou Algonquin Council lands, and became a local small town sheriff.  He trideo journaled his life while cleaning up the town.  He used magic and his initiations from his days as a detective to cover up the fact he was a Wendigo and ate, not buried the bodies. The town is now clean, he's world famous for his videos and merchandise.  He's still after that Wendigo.  Every morning he wipes himself of tags, reloads his magazines, does a quick workout, and recasts the two spells he always has up: Combat Sense and Physical Mask.  He casts Increase Reflexes when he needs it. His illusion is of a 7' tall Orc with Cyberware, usually claws (since he physically has claws).  He uses his metamagic (Flexible Signature and Masking) powers to make himself look non-magical, and slightly cybered.  At heart he is a good man, torn by his need to feed on the flesh of metahumans.  He tries to keep the feeding to the bad ones, and tries to hold on to his sanity.  He is a protector and a buffer, he counterspells and puts Combat Sense on his allies.
