F- RM (30)Powers: Tracking
The Huntress is one of the worlds greatest trackers, following a spore or footprint with AM (50) ability.
Equipment: Laser-Lash
Developed for her by Doctor Shroud (chief inventor for the criminal organization known as the Combine), the Laser-lash is both a useful tool and a deadly weapon. Looking like the handle of a Star Wars "Light Saber, when turned on it flicks forth a crackling stream of energy that can be used to inflict RM (30) slashing, blunt, stunning or energy damage. It may also be used as a grapple or a garrote, and has a range of three areas.
Explosive Talons
The Huntress' hair is decorated by many talon-shaped devices that are far from decorative. At least two of them (and maybe all of them) are actually grenades that explode for EX (20) damage and may be thrown 3 ares. It hasn't been shown, but I suspect that at least some of the other talons that make up her costume have similar functions, like flash and smoke grenades to blind opponents or perhaps gas grenades to stun them.
Traps: If she has the time, the Huntress can build and install traps to capture or kill opponents. These would function with IN (40) ability. Examples would be a gas discharge, explosion, capturing net or cage, etc. Note: she has to have access to the proper equipment to do this. The rank of Incredible is only for situations where she has her equipment and devices. If she must make do with second-hand materials, assume the effectiveness to be EX (20) instead.
Limitations: The Huntress's inability to respect or trust most men has been a liability in the past.
Talents: Animal Training, Martial Arts A and C, Acrobatics, Tumbling.
Contacts: The Combine, Doctor Shroud.
Game Preserve: I suspect that the Huntress has an artificial hunting area somewhere just like the one built for her by Shroud and the Combine. Something like Arcade's Murderworld complex, she hunted Destructor through an artificial valley that included cliffs, a lake and waterfall, sparse trees and several shallow caves and false exits to attract gullible prey. While hunting in this artificial environment, The Huntress tracks prey and fights with a +1CS. The Preserve is artificially lit, and the "sky" is actually an enclosing dome.
Animals: The Hunteress often uses trained animals to help her stalk her prey. Her favorites are a pair of cougars named Siva and Kali, but I'd just bet that she has a small army of tigers, lions, wolves and crocodiles all set to give chase.
Siva and Kali
F: EX (20); A: GD (10); S: GD (10); E: EX (20)
R: FB (2); I: FB (2); P: FB (2)
Health: 60; Karma: 6
Like most big cats, Siva and Kali attack in the edged column and move two areas per round. They also Track with EX (20) ability and respond to commands only from the Huntress or Lobo.
Lobo: The Huntress' back-up man is a hulking man-brute name Lobo, whose physical peculiarities suggest he's actually a mutant or man/wolf hybrid. He's VERY loyal to the Huntress, and not as stupid as she thinks. He will risk his life to protect her...sometimes disobeying her orders if he sees she in serious danger.
Lobo
F: EX (20); A: EX (20); S: EX (20); E: EX (20)
R: TY (6); I: GD (10); P: GD (10)
Health: 80; Karma: 26
Tracking : Lobo can follow a trail with EX (20) ability.
Talents : Animal Handling, Marksman, Wrestling, Sharp Weapons, Blunt Weapons, First Aid.
Lobo usualy carries an automatic rifle and may also carry other weapons as the need arises. He handles the little details while the Huntress does the real dirty work. He handles the animals when they aren't needed and if someone gets away from her, he'll do his best to stop them before they get away.
History: We're told nothing about the origins of the Huntress, but we can assume from her one appearance that she's an assassin for hire, who prefers to hunt her victims before killing them. Her standard "Modes Operandi" is to capture a victim, then release them into the "wild"...then hunt them down "Most Dangerous Game" fashion. It's possible that she films these excursions and provides film of the killing to her employers as proof of the act.
Though she's tossed off a cliff at the end of her one appearance, I just know she's alive. Perhaps she landed well, or was able to control her fall and spared herself the worst of it. It's also possible that Lobo (who'd been knocked out by Destructor) managed to get to her in time to save her life.
You pick an option...but I'm sure she didn't just die.
Description: Tall and athletic, the Huntress is as beautiful as she is deadly. Despite the picture above, her hair is actually red. Her costume is mostly red and orange (blue in the above picture) with a blue mask and white fang-shaped decorations.
Personality: The Huntress is very much a 70's icon - the tough bitch who won't take any shit from a man. The 1970's were full of these ladies, queen of which was Marvel's Thundra and Valkerie. She snarls and snap at every man she meets, wither they've personally insulted her or not. She seems to trust Doctor Shroud and Lobo more than she does other men, but it looks like those are the exceptions. Despite this posturing, the Huntress is very good at what she does.
