Westside, 2h07 AM
After a much-celebrated evening, a slightly inebriated woman, within the flower of her youth, is walking alone within the bustling streets of Westside. Or is she? Only Millennium Citys own Wondrous Wonder can tell for sure.
Sadly, such a situation is not an uncommon sight within this city; and let alone a pleasant one, considering the ongoing gang war, between the various factions struggling for control of this neighbourhood. (Refer to Feb 14s article Purple Valentine, by yours truly; for more details about the ongoing war between the New Purple Gang and the Cult of the Red Banner)
Thanks to his most recent sweep of the Westside, the Wondrous Wonder has a good feeling about tonight. With more of those New Purple Gang upstarts behind bars, many more youngsters like her will make it safely back home; and all of that thanks to the efforts of meta-human like him. Sometimes it feels good to be a hero.
However, as our absent-minded protagonist ponders the implications of his heroic duty, a muffled cry is heard; as our hapless potential prey is being swooped off her feet, into an alley. Fortunately, the Wondrous Wonder is not one to be outmanoeuvred so easily, and rush to the rescue of our damsel in distress.
Cultists! He whispered to himself as he watched the three villains gang up on our defenseless flower. Yes, the ceremonial outfits and tattoos of those men could not be mistaken; and this, was the last person they would ever prey on.
Bam! Paf! And Woosh! The fight was over about as soon as it began; with the toughest of the three, a large fiend by the name of Lung Tao, losing consciousness after a rather forceful kick to his face. Our heroine, who seems to have just realized what was going on, is utterly speechless; and unlike what those wicked tabloids would like you to believe, there was no tender moment to be shared between our protagonists; no, a heros job is never done, or so the saying goes
No, because just as soon as our Wondrous Wonder was done moping the floor with the cultist, desperate cries of help came from afar; prompting our selfless champion to investigate immediately.
More of them??? Thought our stellar protector as he rushed to the scene of the incident; but the cries suddenly stopped And it was there, that he saw it
A feral bipedal creature, standing on top of a pile of Purple Gang thugs; shamelessly feeding upon the flesh of the poor slobs, as a lion amidst crippled gazelles. But unfortunately for our heroic paragon, the foul creature had smelled him first, and growled ferociously in his direction.
Then, in a split second, the frenzied freak of nature pounced upon our protagonist; and disappeared just as quickly, as our poor fella became aware of what had just come to pass. The beast was gone, and the Wondrous Wonder safe; but the savage noises coming from afar, would be something that our champion would never forget.
This story is but one of the many urban legends you will hear about our beloved Millennium City; and worse part is, that it is actually true
Recently, the chief of the MCPD has called a press conference to calm the populations about the rumors of raptors running amok within our streets; and while Chief Surhoff made himself reassuring, he nonetheless confirmed that there were indeed savage beasts in our midst.
Yes, the raptors are a very real danger that the MCPD and local heroes have to contend with daily.
According to the archaeological expert Van Malcolm, Millennium Citys raptors comes in many shapes and breeds; each more dangerous and destructive than the next. In fact, the good doctor claims that these may well not be genuine rebuses of the Jurassic era. As evidenced, by the recent discoveries of mad geneticist Teleios creations in Canada.
Those Teleiosaurs, or whatever they are; are far more deadly and intelligent than their Canadian counterpart; and bring with them a stunning change in Millennium Citys eco-system of heroism and villainy. In particular, Dr. Malcolm points out a very interesting case, where a Canadian child claims to have spotted one of his favorite video game character; within the vicinity of Force Station Steelhead; leading credence to the theory, that the raptor sightings here, may well be only a vanguard of things to come.
But, even during those tough times, we proud citizens of Millennium City must remain adamant in the face of adversity; and, as wise Mayor Calvin Biselle commented: Let the MCPD and the Champions deal with these rumors; as long as we, regular folks, keep our distance; we might as well let the raptors deal with the more undesirable elements that plagues our city. Fact with which, yours truly, agrees wholeheartedly.
Still, the mayor was very clear in his attempt to calm down the population; and stated that anyone without superpowers or an archaeological degree, should give the raptors a wide berth, and report this sighting immediately to the MCPD.

So Ive just recently created my very own Raptor superhero, the last in a long line of alts, and the only one of which has been marginally successful; this Cryosaurus, as seen on the second and last picture, made me realize that Millennium City NEEDED more raptors.
And so, aside from entertaining us with bogus news reports, Im here to give you a few pointers about creating your very own raptor. So here goes:
So, with the obvious excluded; you need three things to create a raptor character:
1) Proper Body Morphology:
Heres what I used on the ones in the picture:
- Upper Body
Height: Any --- Muscle: 0 --- Body Mass: +2
Neck: Full --- Shoulders: 0 --- Chest Width: +4
Chest Depth: Full --- Arm Length: 0 --- Arms: 0
Biceps: +3 --- Forearm: +3 --- Hand Length: +2
Hands: Full
- Lower Body
Default on all, except for the waist, which should fit with the chest.
2) Proper Stance and Travel Power:
- To get the most out of your raptor, you will want to pick both Beast stance and the Acrobatics travel power; once that is done, every time you run will feel like Jurrasic Park all over again.
3) Proper Power Emanation:
- Considering the power choices available and the morphology of the body, you will want to get most of your power emanations tied to the head. Nuff said.
And thats it! You are now the proud owner of your very own raptor.
If you need any more help, feel free to ask, and dont be afraid to toy with the template in order to create your very own breed of raptor. Once Cryosaurus is back from hibernation in about a week, I want to see lots of raptors prowling the streets of Millennium City.
So, now hurry up and join the pack!
Special thanks to:
- Cryosaurus
- Jeff the Screenshot Raptor
- Yoshi
For holding the pose while I was making those screenshots.
