When I first threw this concept open on Facebook ages ago
the irreplaceable Lisa Padol pitched the perfect Hawkman & Hawkwoman pitch:
they are Etienne and Isabo from Ladyhawke, still cursed, ageless, eternally together,
forever apart. Armed with Leonardo daVinci’s wings apparatus stolen from the
inquisition’s hidden treasure rooms the two have been fighting human corruption,
devil worshippers and general evil since the 10th century. During
the day Etienne is Hawkman, armed with his wings, thousand years of training
with medieval weapons and a brilliant hawk companion. During the night Isabo
flies the shadows having had ten centuries to hone the thief skills that Mouse
taught her before he went to dust, followed by a brutally strong wolf
bodyguard. It hits the right points of winged couple, medieval weapon skills,
plus the form of immortality that is so a part of the Earth 2 and Earth 9
versions of the hero.
What this means that we have three levels of campaign
history: the Hawks have been around as heroes since the 950’s, Vigilante since Civil
War, and possibly the Zataras since the 1930’s. Plus Superman can time travel
back to the earliest edges of Vigilante’s heroic life and easily back to much
of the Hawk’s timeframe. We can have flashback scenes with the Hawks, Vigilante
and Zatara on covert ops in WWII, or just Vigilante and the Hawks seeing action
in WWI. I’m going to do a quick stat out of Hawkman just to have something
here, but you can get Hawkwoman by swapping her Str and Dex and swapping the
Combat skills with Intrusion (for Medieval Weapons) and Connive (for Martial
Arts). Both are equally smart, willful, charming in their own ways and
impossible to kill.
