Father Time

Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

Scythe (s): though meant as a farming implement, this hooked blade can certainly be used to inflict grievous bodily harm if necessary. In Larry's hands, this two-handed weapon can be used to inflict +4 edged damage with every powerful, deadly strike.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Boxing (s): the true extent of Larry's fighting skills are unknown, but he has been witnessed throwing punches with the best of them - when not hooking villains with his scythe. He may divide his pre-cardplay action score between two unarmed melee attacks.

Swords (scythes only) (s): naturally Larry has trained with his most striking weapon in his war against crime in, order to wield it competently whenever he runs afoul of the criminal element. He makes attacks with hooked, two-handed weapons at a reduced difficulty level.

Calling:

Protector, with a secondary calling of Peace of Mind: Larry acts to protect the innocent, primarily as a means of dousing his own guilt regarding the death of his father. He feels that maybe, if he defeats enough criminals, others will be spared his father's fate.

Costume:

When active as the enigmatic Father Time, Larry wears a striking costume. It includes a loose-fitting orange shirt with a yellow clock symbol on the chest, orange trousers under red trunks, red gloves, red buccaneer boots, a black belt, a black domino mask, and a dark blue cloak.

Alternately, Father Time's costume has been depicted as being a bit... less than this. Depending on the artist, it may actually just consist of red trunks, a black belt, a black domino mask, red gloves, red buccaneer boots, and a billowing blue cloak tied to a clock medallion.

Personality:

Larry is a youthful sort, one who has seen the injustices the world has to offer at an early age. As such, he struggles with all his being to prevent them from happening to others, gleefully leaping into combat with all manner of bizarre criminals to protect the innocent!

Story:

When his father is sentenced to die by the electric chair, young Larry Scott finds himself with a problem. You see he knows for a fact that his father is innocent, and races against time to stop the execution before it's too late. Sadly, however, he fails in his act of mercy.

When his father is executed, Larry curses himself for being too slow, and vows to somehow make time work against criminals, and not the innocent. He accomplishes this by adopting a costumed identity themed on Father Time, and goes by that name as he begins to chase down criminals.

Wading into the criminal underworld with nothing but his fists, his wits and - oh yeah - a sharpened scythe to fight evil, Larry makes it his mission to punish the criminals that the forces of law and order seem impotent against. And he deals with a whole lot of them.

In his very first outing as a costumed vigilante, Larry takes on a large gaggle of mobsters. Encouraged by his success in this, he continues his crusade against criminal scum, and not only chases down even more mobsters, but deals with a gang of bank robbers afterwards.

Larry continues fighting criminal reprobates for the duration of World War II, slowly gaining notoriety in his efforts. He even becomes known to the authorities enough that he is asked to assist in a raid on Nazi territory with a huge wave of his adventuring peers sometime during 1942.

Returning to the States after this, Larry resumed his one-man war on crime for as long as he was able.
