Champions: Nimrod the Hunter

   Nimrod The Huntsman as a refugee from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons as contaminated by a few bits from Rifts: he was a “Fourteenth Level Ranger” but was equipped with a modest selection of mystic tattoos. For the most part, those allowed him to move around more readily, let him fight bare-handed with fair effect, and let him both communicate mentally and call weapons to his hands. Personally, he also had greatly enhanced physical abilities, was extremely tough, and had some reasonably powerful magical weapons.
   He came along with his friend Shaman when Shaman opted to attempt to hide himself, and a collection of mighty evil magical artifacts, on Earth to keep them from being used to take over his more magical dimension.
That was a worthy quest.

   Despite his various abilities, Nimrod tended to function as a martial artist: his dexterity was good, but his attacks weren’t powerful enough to do much to most heroes and his defenses were more or less average. Thus he functioned as a skirmisher, rescued normal people, and relied on teamwork to take down giant rampaging monsters. He was much happier dealing with a swarm of thugs (“Bandits!”) than with a super-villain.

   Personally, Nimrod was taciturn, efficient, and tended to play the “honorable medieval warrior” but for all it was worth.  He and Shaman usually worked with H.E.L.P. – a group that was, in general, even stranger than they were and saw nothing wrong in being periodically attacked by assorted extradimensional horrors. In fact, they found it sort of homelike…
