True North – Temple

Sadly Bat Moose’s application was rejected.

It’s that time again, Phantasm is coming up and I’m doing something with Cortex and superheroes.

However, rather than run a superhero game in DC or Marvel I figure I’ll play around with some of my own home brew characters.

Therefore I present the first of 5 mystic Canadian superheros:

• David picked up more spirit visitors over time and his powers became obvious.
• The higher ups transferred him to a meta-unit, where he took the handle Temple.

• Three years later he would become leader of True North, Canada’s premier super team.
