JOURNEYMAN
Points Used: 250
Designation: Hero
Affiliation: Sentinels of Liberty and Justice
Played By: Myuzu
Gender: Male
Background: You might have heard of the multitudes of villains and heroes that gain their abilities from asteroids, cosmic radiation, alien worlds, technology, or even genetic makeup. You might have even heard of humans that just go at it with guns and armored vests. What seperates Journeyman from those souls is the fact that he has the unique ability to draw from his own morals and inner strength to add to his already metahuman powers. That conviction allows the Journeyman to truly believe that he can do anything he sets his mind to including defeating the most powerful villains of Khazan. He is pure of heart, soul, and strength not by any true ability, but by his heart and will. From the beginning of his life as a member of the Incan tribes of ancient South America, Journeyman helped his people as best he could by taming and exploring the dangerous Amazon forest. They called him Aknaka: their term for Explorer. After his people reached their highest point of strength, Journeyman felt the need to travel on. After spending a few years helping the Aztecs and Mayans fight off the Spanish Conquistadors, Journeyman once again said goodbye to the friends he had made and left to further search for people in need of his unique brand of help. As an English colonist, he brought living legends to the front of people's minds as he helped make people believe in miracles as the great John Henry and Paul Bunyan. He counquered the great Piasa bird that had preyed on the natives of souther Illinois. Countless battles of both strength and conscience were conquered by his efforts. It was finally around 1890 that a steel mill worker was saved by him that he gained his name. He told his story to the thankful man and explained why he helped those in need. In return, the man looked up at the tall, graceful immortal and grinned toothlessly, "I guess you'd be a Journeyman in yer business by now, eh?" In the steel mill worker's jovial innocence, the immortal heard a hint of destiny in the man's description of him as a Journeyman. And so,whenever the press asked for his name, the stoic warrior would silently whisper the story of that man and the history of his exploration. Now, he travels to Khazan to help those in need and to help even more to believe in miracles. He's been John Henry. He's been Paul Bunyan. He's been an explorer. But most importantly, he's been a Journeyman.

Ancient Speed
Power: Running

Description: When he was but a child, Journeyman remembered watching the elders of his village gawk in astonishment as he chased down a speeding jungle cat without trouble. After making short work of the beast, the young boy was given congratulations by the elders and praised for his natural abilities. Now, he uses his legendary speed to chase down even the fastest villains. Only in the steel cage does his true speed stay locked away in fear of harming his opponent too badly.

Legendary Quickness

To achieve the inner peace needed to gain this step of agility, Journeyman focuses his willpower through the warrior gem.
Weakness: power in item - difficult to lose item
Master of the Martial Arts
Power: Martial Arts
Level: Supreme
Description: Journeyman has spent hundreds of years training his skills in melee. By now, he has mastered many different forms of fighting hand to hand. To confuse his opponent, he sometimes even switches up his form every other second. One moment he will be driving in fast for a kick to the face only to drop to the ground and use his momentum to send his opponent flailing into the air. In the Low-G arena, he tends to lay off a bit on the fancy fighting styles in fear of sending his opponent flying into the unprotected crowd. There, he prefers beating them delirious with good olf fashioned street brawling.
Weakness: power fails in terrain Low Gravity Arena
Super Human Sight
Power: Hyper-Sense
Level: Standard
Description: Back to his earliest days as a child, Journeyman could remember being able to see much better than the rest of the children. After he reached adulthood, he found he could see a fly on a tree over a mile away. He doesn't bother using this in the steel cage because it's impossible for his opponent to hide. Also, those with detection powers can somehow sense him searching for them and have an affinity for forcing him to slow down his sight back to average human levels.
Weakness: power fails in terrain Steel Cage
Weakness: power fails against opponet with any Detection Powers
