Every now and then I like to make something completely different from what I normally do.
Case in point, this little fella who doesn’t currently have a name.
I designed this thing to be a medical assistant droid for a medic I’m currently playing in a sci-fi themed play-by-post roleplay elsewhere on the interwebs.

New costume for the teenage crime fighter, adrenaline junkie and Nowhere Kid, Talon.
I’ve been playing this guy, on and off, in DC Universe Online for quite a while and this is my depiction of his in game look where he wears some Nightwing style gear so he looks somewhat similar to Grayson.
For more on Talon’s backstory, see Subject Zero.

This is just a tidied up version of Vandal, the extra-dimensional barbarian who used to be accompanied by another character named Warlock. Well, that guy’s gone.
The creepy and nefarious Vox managed to use his powers to get inside Vandal’s head and coerce him into killing the warlock.
Vox took control of the chain that controlled Vandal for a short time until interference from Phoenix broke the bonds that held him.
Now Vandal is on his own for the first time and without someone to control him, there’s simply no telling now much chaos the barbarian may cause.

A redesign of a character I originally made a loooooong time ago who was originally known as just Scorpion, because I’m bad at names.
Like Throwback and The Web, Jamie Rodriguez was a victim of experiments by Evolution Inc to create human animal hybrids. (More on Evolution Inc when I get around to doing another character)
Unlike Throwback and The Web, Rodriguez decided to use his new powers for personal gain, rather than helping others.
Sick and tired of being pushed around by others and desperate to make money to support his family, Jamie adopted the identity of Scorpion and, falling back on his army training, formed the mercenary group known as the Deathstalkers.
Scorpion and the Deathstalkers were never picky about the contracts they accepted and often found themselves on the wrong side of the law and battling the world’s masked heroes. Prowler and Dragonfly in particular seemed to come into contact with the mercenaries a lot and Scorpion developed a particular hatred for both.
The mercenaries had some success for a time until Jamie lost his tail in battle and decided to retire. It was time to focus on repairing the damage his life as Scorpion did to his family.
The former criminal and mercenary seemed to have legitimately gone straight for a number of years and was slowly putting his family back together. All signs pointed to the Scorpion being gone for good.
But Daniel Saint, a.k.a Static Buzz, a.k.a the practically all seeing eye of the superhero community these days, recently learned that Rodriguez’s former Deathstalker squad had all been found brutally murdered. Worse still, Rodriguez was now missing.
Static contacted his former partner Dragonfly, knowing that he had history with Rodriguez, and asked him to investigate. Dragonfly’s investigation led him to an old base the mercenaries used long ago. The base seemed to have been abandoned for years, save for it’s sole inhabitant, the re-scorpionized Rodriguez, who attacked Dragonfly on sight.
Now adopting the name of his fallen squad, the newly christened Deathstalker informed Dragonfly that he was going to hunt down whoever killed his friends and if the hero got in his way, he would die too.
Dragonfly now found himself in a race against time to find the killer before Deathstalker did, because if Rodriguez found them first, he may well do something that there was no coming back from.
