| Description: | |||
| Archer is tall, 6'4' and weights around 220 lbs. He has black hair that is usually a bit shaggy and intense jade green eyes. Often his face is covered with stubble as he is commonly to busy to shave. Because he is half elven he uses his powers to modify his appearance to appear human when acting as Aaron Wayne. He is lanky, almost raw-boned with a long easy stride. His shoulders are broad and powerful, his legs muscular and lean. He has never worn a formalized costume but almost always wears red leather mariners boots. At times he wears a hood to protect his identity and other times a black mask. He carries a heavy long bow for ranged combat and a katana for melee combat. | |||
| BACKGROUND | |||
|
The man called Ghost Archer was born in the city of Cinnabar, the Nexus of all the Known Universes. From this city all things flow, magic AND technology. Here his parents, the Sorceress Rilia and the Horse Lord, Joram, found refuge with the aid of the renegade Corsair, Rathorn. Rilia gave birth to the couple's first child only a few hours after arriving in Cinnabar only to have that child, a son named Turin, stolen from his cradle by the demon Omac. Though Joram swore vengeance on the demon, the oath has yet fulfilled. Joram and Rilia settled into their new world and went on to have three more children. Their first daughter, called Rachel, proved to have inherited her father’s wanderlust and none or her mother’s magical skill. Both parents found nothing in the girl to endow them with more than a familial love and she grew up mostly alone. It was to Rathorn to whom she turned for the renegade Corsair understood the role of the outcast. Shortly before her brother Cufaen was born she disappeared from Cinnabar with the Corsair. Ghost Archer has searched many worlds for his lost sister and her mentor but has found only scant rumors of the pair. When Rilia announced to her husband that she borne their next child and that child was a boy, Joram used his growing power in Cinnabar to enlist the finest minds of science in the city. After Rilia was given a drug, this team of scientists removed the child from her womb and manipulated his DNA to create something more than the sum of the two parents. The fetus was then restored to his mother and grew to full term and was born. From the beginning Cufaen, as he was named, proved far more extraordinary then his father could have wish. But nature was not to be so easily altered and had a few ideas of it’s own to give as gifts to the child. Cufaen was faster, stronger, smarter and hardier than his parents and before he was six could best his powerful father hand to hand. It was the strange gifts of nature that proved to be so amazing. As he came to discover, Cufaen could control his very molecules to an amazing degree. For the first few years, Cufaen was alone save for the fighting instructors and his father’s stern hand for in him his mother saw nothing of her and was disappointed. With her son just three years old, she found she was once again pregnant and knew this time the child, a girl, would carry the full power of magic within her. When Laure was born, Cufaen at last learned love for and devotion to another being. From the moment this child came into the home with her flaming red hair and crystal blue eyes, Cufaen was her slave for he loved her before all things including his own life. Rilia more or less ignore the girl while she was a baby as she must be able to understand to learn the magic and for those years Laure was Cufaen’s. They became inseparable. Like a plague Omac and Turin descended on Cinnabar and destroyed most of the city. Turin captured his family, bound them and stood over them, gloating. Raving he explained what perverse and terrible plans he had for his mother and sister and the horrible agonies he would inflict on his father and brother. All the while, Cufaen lay against his family and listened. He was very calm and did not fear this brother so steeped in evil. Instead his mind worked. The bound were nothing to him and they slipped through his very flesh and bones. Slowly he gripped his sister’s wrist then pressed his back against his mother and so against his father. With a twist of thought the four vanished from Cinnabar and the ranting of his depraved sibling. And so Cufaen and Laure came to a desolate land, separated along the Road from their parents and totally lost. After many hours of wandering, Cufaen noticed a strange shimmer in the air and, taking Laure’s hand, stepped into it. The world they stepped into was like nothing they’d ever seen. Having lived all their young lives in a great city, they’d never seen trees. Nor had they seen mountains, but it was the open water of the stream fed lake that fascinated. The children had landed in a valley deep in the Cascade Mountains of Northern California. There they were found by a couple on a camping trip. William and Harriet Wayne took the two into their lives and hearts when they discovered neither spoke a word of any Earthly language. William found contacts and legally adopted the children without the normal interference of the government and social services. Though it cost them most of their life savings both of the Waynes knew they would never have it any other way. Cufaen became Aaron and Laure became Laura. |

| POWERS/TACTICS | |||
| Ghost Archer has incredible control of his own molecular structure and can extend that control to others as well. With a thought he can alter stray molecules and produce a stunning array of effects. His archery arsenal provides his long range hitting power and over the years he has become a master of the katana. Perhaps the oddest ability he possesses is his extra-dimensional movement. This he calls Walking the Road. He can cover time and space by merely stepping onto the Road and knowing where to exit. Small groups may travel with him and he loves to explore different worlds and times. Over the years Ghost Archer has developed a reputation as an extremely implacable foe and a highly desirable ally. | |||
| PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION | |||
| Archer has a restless soul that leads him to travel constantly. In his journeys through time he has taken the identity of many mythical figures. As Theseus he solved the Minoan Maze and defeated the minotaur who was to become Taurus of the Zodiac. Later, when the entire Wild Hunt was trapped for several years in 7th century England, their exploits led to the legend of Camalot with Archer the template for Lancelot. Of course Archer traveled to Sherwood Forest of the late 12th century and brought into being the Legend of Robin Hood. Archer is very stern to the world. A fire blazes in his eyes that terrorizes lesser beings. He is quiet, thoughtful, a planner but when a rage is on him he becomes heartless and will stop at nothing to accomplish his goal. A strong sense of chivalry used to preclude surprise attacks by Ghost Archer and as ever he strives to help all, in any way he can. | |||
