Enemies: Kigatilik, Blackwatch, Titanium Patriot, Hunter Patriots, WIP
Motives: Protect FS Steelhead, Canada and his family, use his gifts to help prevent Kigatilik's return
Personality: Jason is kind, honorable and humble, but can be confident and boisterous as Northwatch. He is a loyal, honest protector and provider. He skirts the line between lawful good and neutral good, usually willing to smack his foes into submission, but capable of distinguishing a lost soul from true evil. Jason is bound by the very same moral code that Akna has chosen him for.
Background: Jason was a husband, father, Mountie, and average human man stationed at FS Steelhead, where his mother was stationed when she gave birth to him. One blistering cold evening, he was investigating recent reports of Hunter Patriot party sightings when they ambushed him. Outnumbered and outgunned, they cut him down and left him for dead in the snow's icy embrace.
Akna, the Inuit Goddess of fertility and birth came to him in his final moments, offering him a deal. She would not only spare his life on this day, but bestow him with gifts of the ancient spirits. He would wield the strength and senses of every fallen Inuit warrior throughout time, but he must swear to Akna to use those gifts to protect Canada whilst helping others to prevent the return of an ancient evil determined to snuff the warmth and glow of all life on our precious planet... Kigatilik!
Upon returning to Steelhead, wounds miraculously healed, his first move is to inform his superiors of the encounter. Naturally, they dismiss him at first and standard protocol is carried out. It's only after his powers begin to emerge, giving him a chance to use them in Steelhead's defense, that command begins to take it all seriously. They make him a poster boy for Steelhead, working closely with Ravenspeaker to form a special anti-Kiga unit called
Operation Cold Front.
Jason humbly maintains his post at Steelhead, protecting his nation and trying to figure out the sorted business of gods and demons.

Personality: Tempest is rarely found in situations that could be considered overly social. As a result, he seldom speaks, and never shows his face. He is an introvert with an extremely high intellect some might say is wasted as a mercenary. He is cold, border-line sociopathic, and his chaotic neutral alignment makes him selfish in his motives and choices. He is a man of absolute conviction and willpower. Methodical, precise and organized; a modern day warrior.

Personality: WIP
Background: Kyle Reid was a Constable stationed at FS Steelhead as well as the long-time partner and best friend of Jason McRae. One blistering cold evening, the pair were investigating recent reports of Hunter Patriot party sightings when they were ambushed. Kyle's vehicle is struck by an RPG as they patrol the snowy Canadian wilderness, severely injuring his legs and causing his vehicle to careen away from Jason's. Before Jason can reach him, he is baited into the fight and cut down.
As Akna is striking a deal with Jason to spare his life and injuries, Hunter Patriots are recovering Kyle as their prisoner. He survives his injuries, but loses both legs. Bound to a wheelchair, he is tortured, interrogated, and manipulated. As the years pass by, the Patriots poison his mind against Northwatch and Steelhead, using his bitterness and anger to steer him further toward their extremist ideology.
When they have begun to convert him to their motives and cause, and the time is just right, they give him a suit of power armor and direct him toward Force Station Steelhead, and Northwatch.

Personality: WIP| Brave-foot is a stern, disciplined young man. His core personality and mannerisms are more Sasquatch than human.
Background: WIP| Chinook was lost as an infant deep within the Canadian Wilderness. Hunters from a tribe of sasquatch warriors find him, reluctantly raising him as one of their own. They name him Little-Foot for his tiny stature. But as he grows up, he begins to display courage and heart befitting a sasquatch. The tribe honors him with the name of Little-Brave-Foot.
When he is fourteen years old, he and his best friend, Walks-On-Wind, returned to their village to find it in flames. A Viper detail had stumbled beyond the tundra's edge, destroying their home and setting it ablaze. Brave-Foot rushes into the Elder's hut, despite Walks-On-Wind warning him of his fate. He is consumed by the fires trying to rescue his Elder.
The Great Land Spirit of North America saves his life, bestowing him with the gift of Pyromancy. Together, Walks-On-Wind and Brave-Foot travel the wilderness, seeking a new home. But they find that no sasquatch tribes will take in an adolescent human who believes he is sasquatch. In the best interest of Walks-On-Wind, Brave-Foot leaves his sasquatch friend, venturing out alone to find the only people who might take him in; Humans.
Brave-Foot becomes Chinook, folk hero and phantom wanderer of the Canadian Wilderness. When Operation Cold Front is formed, Mark Derringer tracks down Chinook and recruits him as the teams Pyromancy specialist.

Motives: Protect Chiyetanka Bluff and the sasquatch people of Canada, reunite with Little-Brave-Foot...
Personality: WIP|
Background: WIP| Walks-On-Wind was born to an isolated sasquatch tribe deep within the Canadian Wilderness. Her father was among the hunters who found Little-Brave-Foot, reluctantly raising him as one of their own. Just over a year after Brave-Foot is rescued, Walks-On-Wind is born. She and Brave-Foot become close, learning to hunt, spar and play together. As she ages, she becomes proficient with a furless weapon known as a bow. She learns how to fletch her own bows and the arrows for them. This skill proves invaluable for hunting, and earns her the name of Walks-On-Wind.
When she was twelve years old, she and Brave-Foot returned to their village to find it in flames. A Viper detail had stumbled beyond the tundra's edge, destroying their home and setting it ablaze. Brave-Foot rushes into the Elder's hut, despite Walks-On-Wind warning him of his fate. Brave-foot is consumed by the fires trying to rescue his Elder, but emerges from the ashes of the Elder's hut as Walks-On-Wind mourns the death of her entire tribe. Brave-foot is covered in ash and disoriented, but alive and seemingly well.
Together, Walks-On-Wind and Brave-Foot travel the wilderness, seeking a new home. But they find that no sasquatch tribes will take in an adolescent human who believes he is sasquatch. In the best interest of Walks-On-Wind, Brave-Foot leaves his sasquatch friend, venturing out alone to find the only people who might take him in; Humans.
Walks-On-Wind finds a home among the people of the Chiyeteh Tribe, raising her from the age of twelve onward. She never gives up her search for Brave-foot, continuously exploring beyond the warnings of her Elder.
One day, whilst poking around a Viper compound, she and her hunting band are captured. The Viper scientists experiment on the sasquatch extensively, leaving a battery of permanent scars across her body. The hunting band is pushed to the brink of death before being freed by Northwatch.
As such I am replacing that entire concept with a new, Canadian Viper agent.
Meet WIP Viper Nemesis #1.
Walks-On-Wind knows him very well, and would be ashamed to say she is afraid of him. Chinook will be crossing this viper's path on his way to vanquishing Tilingkoot and fulfilling the sasquatch prophecy.
Ravenhearst Village is a strange, mystical little burg just south of the Canadian Wilderness. It's a commune of humans with genetic mutations so invasive and severe, they are often deemed too extreme for conventional society. Not unlike its mysterious semi-Immortal mayor and English woman, Tessa Devereaux, it is a place slightly out of time. Although Ravenhearst has many of the technology and comforts modern life provides, access is minimal, and to visit the quaint village, one might think they stepped back into the Victorian era. It has stood in relative secrecy for over 200 hundred years, adopting and harboring mutants, giving them a home, purpose, and community free of judgment and hinderances based on their mutations.
This is the home of Snowbird. She is a young woman from Quebec who was born with dove wings protruding from her back. This fantastic location and its vibrant citizens is still under development, but the first draft of the map has been competed.
