Well, let's see ... Jodie's is a few inches shorter than me, but a bit taller then JJ (War Eagle) so that puts him at about 5'8" to 5'10". He had an average build, JJ was 135, I was 208, so ... maybe 160 0r so? Dark hair, very curly, dark eyes. As CNJ? I dunno, maybe a pizza delivery hat and shirt? Jodie actually delivered pizzas and we will forever call the place CNJ Pizza ... first PB and J pizza I ever tried ... last too. | |||||
BACKGROUND | |||||
Zodiac, the most powerful team of supervillains in the world, seemed to be drawn to spending time in San Francisco. This was convient for Ghost Archer and the Wild Hunt, but more than a little annoying as there was the attendant ‘siting reports’ all over the city. Each had to be checked out. That particular rainy night a call came in, a reported sighting of the Zodiac. The redoubtable Captain New Jersey was on duty and quickly asked the computer for directions, being a Jersey boy and not one of those Left Coasters. With a map in hand and a head of steam, Captain New Jersey, CNJ to his friends, popped into an alley behind the San Francisco bus station. Orienting his map, he headed west in his patented teleport jumps that covered about 50 yards a shot. Correcting his direct with each bamf, CNJ soon found himself at the head of a pier, the lights of a bar, a quarter of the way down it’s length. Bamf. He was behind the place and to one side allowing him a relatively unobstructed view of the tap room. He had to crane his neck a bit to see into the corner he as against but sure enough, there sat the unmistakeable bulk of the minotaur Taurus and to either side of him, two of his dazzling female teammates, Scorpio and Leo. It was his chance! Bamf! Twelve shocked faces recoiled in horror as the invicible Captain New Jersey suddenly popped into their midst, in fact, the midst of a platter of nachos. With no hesitation, CNJ stuck a dramatic pose and deliberately pointed as each of the world’s most powerful villain team in world. “You're ALL under arrest!” he delared. He awoke on something bobbing up and down with a cold, wet nose sniffing his face. It smelled of fish and didn’t appear to understand what was going on anymore than the Captain did himself. He remember declaring the Zodiac to be under arrest and he remembered someone across the table moving … someone with horns … he remembered crashing through the wall of the bar … he remembered sailing over the pier’s railing … he didn’t remember landing on one of the seal platforms moor to the pilings around the waterfront. He rose, unsteadily, due to the platform’s rocking, of course, to his feet. The pier for about 5 meters over his head. No problem. Bamf. He staggered on the landing and gaped at what was left of the bar. Hadn’t he only gone through ONE wall? The cops were coming, fire department too. He have to report to Ghost Archer about Zodiac’s refusal to surrender peacefully and maybe … help fix the bar? |

POWERS/TACTICS | |||||
CNJ teleports into the middle of things, goes all Bruce Lee on anyone not on his team, and emerges victorious! | |||||
PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION | |||||
I think CNJ just does it all for fun, though I could be wrong. I do seem to remember some mention of the Jersey Devil, maybe that had something to do with his motivations for becoming the greatest superhero in the world. | |||||
CAMPAIGN USE | |||||
Thinks I remember about CNJ's build: 27 DEX, Martial Arts and Teleport. Since he did, this one time, teleport Arrowhead from Deathstroke INTO the engine of a car, earning him the nickname 'Pistonhead', I assume he has a teleport usable as an attack. The rest, I made up. | |||||
DESIGN NOTES | |||||
Captain New Jersey will always hold a special place in the annals of the Wild Hunt. It is only through his willingness to allow a neophyte to experience the wonders of Champions through the temporary use of one 'Violet Avenger' that all of this became possible. Unfortunately CNJ, as he will forever be fondly remembered, was not among my huge collection of character sheets I gather from those very early days at the White Heron Hobby Shop. He taught us all the true meaning of 'Overconfident' when he teleported into that bar where the entire crew of the Zodiac sat enjoying the evening. His sudden appearance, in the middle of their table, was capped by a broad sweep of a pointing finger and a declaration that 'You are all under arrest!' has got to be the epitome of brass balls. The fact that he was summarily tossed through the wall does not in any way diminish the pure audacity of that night. He had style, though not always grace, and through it all a sense of humor. Thank you, Jodie, for so many memories. The Wild Hunt would never have existed if you hadn't taken pity on a poor lost war gamer that just drifted in and started to watch a game he'd never seen before.
