Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Edgar Vincent is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe (who wrote the poem "The Raven" and is associated with the city of Baltimore because of the time he spent there--hence the NFL's Baltimore Ravens) and also to Vincent Price who played in a lot of film adaptations of Poe's work.

I must have downloaded about 20 different typewriter fonts and a lot of photoshop "scratches" looking for the one that was just right.

As for him looking more SAS, that's mostly do to me not being very familiar with the Action Force stories since I'm American by birth and West Virginian by the grace of God. ;) Which brings me to...

Shogi's "Silencer" character. Very nice, do you have any connection to Poca, WV? I've been there twice I believe, both times for football games back when they were the Poca Dots. Silencer must be the only 'Joe from WV besides Spencer & Hasbro re-wrote his card and changed that!

Anyway, I'm loving seeing everyone's characters and custom filecards. Let's see some more!

The Great Cobra Robbery


BIO :

Leopard's mother was a missionary to the war torn country of Eritrea, whose battles with Ethiopia made the country extremely dangerous. His mother, an 18 year girl from London England, was determined to help the people of this country. Despite these intentions she was attacked and nearly killed by several men. The result was the birth of her son, the man now known as Leopard. Being of mixed ethnicity and having a father from Eritrea immediately made the young boy an outcast from birth. Despite this he and his mother stayed in the country continuing their missionary work. When he was 15, his mother along with his entire village was killed by an African War-Lord. Leopard was wounded but survived. When he woke up, he faced a wounded and angry Leopard who was rabid because the same War-lord had killed its offspring and wounded it. In a fight to the death the man known as Leopard won and a neighboring chief bore witness to the battle. From here on out, The legend of Leopard was born. For the next 2 years Leopard traveled and lived alone. It was said that he had at times actually lived among the leopards as he had gained their respect. Several Situations of him helping the African Wildlife escape hunters and poachers have led credence to these stories. At 17 having no place to go to, he sought out his Grandparents in London. At first being shunned because of his mixed heritage, they took him in begrudgingly and sent him away to Military School. There he excelled in the British Armed Forces taking part in every major skirmish in the last 10 years. Despite the hardships in his life, he appears to not hold any grudges in life. In fact he has stayed close to his Christian Missionary roots and has become the unofficial team Chaplain.

Note : Close friends with Fellow Team Mate Seagull
