Description:
BACKGROUND
Aether is a park ranger in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the extreme north of South Africa. He lives there with his wife and son. This life style makes regular disappeances par for the course as one never knows where or when he might be call on to hunter down poachers. It is not unusual for him to spend a couple of nights in the bush.
POWERS/TACTICS
PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION
Aether grew up under Apartheid and it shows in his interactions with whites. He has no problem throwing himself into danger if the person involved is black. This is not to say he will not help a white, but it is further down the list
CAMPAIGN USE
Do not get pissed that I present a black man that pretty much hates whites. It is common in South Africa with more than enough justification for one who spend 20 years under apartheid. Being South Africa's only active metahuman and a black man is a point of pride for him. He is just beginning to learn that he must stand for ALL South Africans, not just the black ones.
DESIGN NOTES
South Africa: Born July 24, 1975, Zulu, a child of Apartheid
