TalonKnight is a fictional player-character in the MMORPG Champions Online. He is an evolution of former and existing characters that @reggyworld27 had played in City of Heroes. He is also an homage to all the Batman/Vigilante-esque heroes in comics that we all know and love. His influences are (but not limited to): Batman, MoonKnight, The Phantom, Solid Snake, The Nitedevil (my CoX character) and to a lesser extent The Lone Ranger, and Champions Online's NightHawk.

ORDER OF THE TALON

During the times of Kings and Nobles, there stood an secret organisation known as The Order of the Talon. The Order was led by the Nobleman Richard Mackeswell, who had a network of agents that helped him with his quest for justice. Motivated by the death and abuse of his wife and children by the hands of a corrupt Baron, Richard started the "Order" as a means to protect the innocent and prevent the same tragedy from happening to anyone else. The Order of the Talon's main role was to gather intelligence on the corrupt and wicked, then swiftly take them out in the shadows. Richard had agents scattered throughout the different kingdoms, and where there was trouble, Richard would strike. Richard used intimidation to strike fear into his enemies. He theorized that if his enemies were too afraid to fight, then half his work was already done. He crafted and wore armor with a bird motif, and always struck at night time or in the dark. His silhouette and giant frame intimidated his enemies, eventually earning him a reputation of being something not from this world. Richard would learn from various teachers the power of timing, theatrics and propaganda. He had his agents of "The Order" spread rumors and help circulate stories from kingdom to kingdom about a "demon" who had come from hell to punish and eat the souls of the wicked. The "Demon"s legend would soon grow, and by the time the renaissance came around the legend of the "TalonKnight" would be well known throughout Europe. The tale of a once noble knight who sold his soul to the devil to save his beloved, and now acts as the devil's personal bodyguard would become folklore, and many interpretations would be shared among different cultures. Parents would tell tales to discipline thier naughty children, while the evil and corrupt members of society became more wary about harming the innocent, as many of thier kind had fallen to the TalonKnight.



17th CENTURY: COMING TO AMERICA

During the mid 1600s, Thomas Mackeswell, the 15th TalonKnight had a long standing feud with the RedBorne Pirates who terrorized the Atlantic and the European trade lines. During his final confrontation with the RedBorne, Thomas was overwhelmed. Sensing defeat, Thomas initiated his final contingency plan: blow the ship up with 300lbs of planted gunpowder, taking the pirates down with him. Thomas miraculously survived the explosion. Finding a large piece of driftwood, Thomas climbed aboard and was stranded for 3 days out in the ocean with no food, and little water from his emergency kit. He discarded his heavy armor, and used his sword as a paddle, trying desperately to get back to land. But after a day of paddling, he started to lose his strength, and his injuries were starting to take their toll. At that point, it seemed all was lost, until a ship of settlers discovered Thomas, floating unconscious on a large piece of wreckage, tightly hugging his sword. The settlers brought him aboard their ship, bound for the Americas, and nursed him back to health.


ABILITIES

Legacy Crimefighter: Risk Maxwell comes from a long line of crime fighters, with knowledge and experience spanning over centuries of protecting the innocent. With each TalonKnight new knowledge and technology is passed on, eventually compiling various techniques and methods of crime fighting. Groomed from a young age, Risk developed and honed his crime fighting skills through regular lessons with his father, and other tutors, making Risk the perfect weapon in the war against the world's evil.


Excellent/Expert Melee Combatant: The TalonKnights have developed a systematic fighting art only taught to heirs of the cowl. The unnamed combat art used by TalonKnights can be described as a combination of holds, strikes, and complex locks to disable and even kill foes. Developed through centuries of experience, the 13th TalonKnight described the fighting form as "a combination of Boxing, Japanese Judo, and Shaolin-inspired Kung-Fu by that Bruce Lee fellow". Risk employs this fighting style daily, adding some modern martial arts to his fighting style, such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Combat Sambo. TalonKnights are also well versed in the use of combat arms, being able to used various ranged weapons (bows, rifles, throwing projectiles, etc.), and melee-based weapons (swords, knives, etc.) with equal effectiveness.
