Sounds good! I've got a name and story for the art above (and colored version by a more professional artist) but it would give too much away )

Been a bit hectic over here in the real world. Gimme a few.No takers?
Lady Bennu (because of the phoenix-like symbol, it's not a true Egyptian one but it works)
Real Name: Ahti (Ameera Ba pseudonym for modern times)
Ahti, or Lady Bennu, was an ancient Egyptian from pre-New Kingdom Egypt. She devoutly worshiped Ra, and after a time was imbued by Ra with powers of light and fire, and virtual immortality to serve as Ra's messenger and guardian of Egypt on Earth. She fought and defended Egypt against outside threats for over 200 years, sometimes dying and being reborn from her ashes.
A vile servant of Apophis trapped her ashes inside an enchanted canopic jar, which was hidden among others within a tomb for an as yet unidentified mummy. Archeologists discovered the tomb and noted the odd number of canopic jars (five instead of four.)
The jar had noted warnings of the danger of its opening, so after it was discovered in 1956, it was placed in a museum, until it was forgotten and lost for many years. In late 2012, remodeling of the museum lead to her accidental rescue. While moving things from storage, the jar was inadvertently damaged which released Lady Bennu. Surprising everyone with her sudden appearance, many of the workmen fled in terror. An Egyptologist familiar with the time period was brought in while she was trying to find her way out of the museum and despite difficulties managed to communicate with her, after a short rough conversation her powers gifted her with the modern tongues of the world--as befit a messenger to know how to speak to deliver the messages of Ra, unfortunately, she has not been able to reach Ra through meditation or other means, and so has chosen to guard modern-day Egypt until she can receive further instructions or a message.
She has routed a modern cult of Apophis and destroyed a magically resurrected mummy, as well as a few tomb-robbers, she is often confused by modern religious folk (Christians, and Muslims, among others) and remains devoted to her lord. In her modern secret identity, she is an expert consultant on her time period for Egypt and acts as both an assistant to the Egyptologist who spoke with her and a tour guide.
She has even indicated the location of four "lost" tombs from her era.
Does anyone want Icons, MSH, or H&S stats for her?
I have something of an idea for this but it'll take a bit as I've got some household stuff that's getting in the way.

His name is Reason-Mon
He patrols the skies over Jamaica, and Kingston in particular. He wears Red, Gold and Green. He is deferential and mannered in approach. If he spots trouble he tends to land close by and stroll up with a nodded "Wagwan?" He has been known to show up at international supers events, though it's more likely for natural disasters or alien invasions than crime.

History:
Have you ever wondered how you'd react if you had completely random powers from an experiment or an accident? Maxwell used to until the school game. Someone had spiked the water bottles with mutaphetamine, the super power giving street drug. But apparently this strain was designed to be permanent and so far avoids the psychotic break the more common stuff gives.
A good kid from a middle class home, the moment that the bullies and victims started to attack each other after a few minutes of confusion, he stepped in trying to minimize the damage that the sudden explosion of Post-Human hormonal teenagers inevitably causes! His innate adaptability allowed him to handle the freaky changes relatively quickly, throwing ice blasts on the ground to make people slip and fall, or using his size shifting ability and enhanced strength to wrestle down the others. He tried not to hurt anyone, until the cops came.
Slipping away during the confusion, he's been testing the limits of his abilities in private. Even going so far as to teach himself to skate. Modifying an old school play costume and fixing it with some metal plates (Hooray for enhanced strength!) he 'stole' from a junkyard, then painting it over, Max has decided to name himself The Unremarkable Skater-Bug! Once he did that, the antennae had to be added to the helmet.
He's started to take on street level crime, not completely sure about his full capacity, nor having any real training in how to fight. But the biggest fear? His parents finding out he's got super powers, he'll be grounded for life if they do!
Nexus? You alive?
Well, he's obviously a mix of Max Damage and Guts from Berserk!No takers?

I'm unfamiliar with those characters so I'll take your word for it
But while that's the case, the premise of the thread is to create a background for a character inspired by the picture
I think we waited long enough. Silverlion you got this one I think. N Nexus ?
That’s an awesome picture. He’s got work boots on and a wifebeater shirt, but has pants with a crease, a silver buckle and suspenders. That and the tribal tat have me thinking Mob Enforcer/Assassin who worked his way up the hard way before whatever happened to the arm. Thanks for the pic, that’s a great Shadowrun PC/NPC.
