Rawthorn

Put it this way:

It's been centuries since the Northlands became just a legend, but Hero-ville still doesn't exist. In fact, we're located at a point in time when our heroes' land was known as Hirovilas.

During these hard times, Hirovilas was ruled by the good king Rawtern, whose son, Rawthorn, is the subject of our blog post. He has a sister named Miriam, and he has sworn to protect her at all costs. Rawthorn himself is small, but as brave as he is strong and sturdy. One blow from his fist takes out a heavyweight bully (which was necessary during Hero-ville's Age of Darkness) and his stout soul kept him going, sometimes pushing him into a ravenous rampage.

This story dates back to the XIX century in the timeline of Hero-ville.

As Rawthorn was throwing coins into the wishing well in the village (present-day Tech Square) word reaches his ears that King Rawtern suddenly died. In a desperate but vain attempt to figure out the cause of his father's mysterious death, Rawthorn suddenly encounters a foreigner, a Pildin corrupt named Eltheon, sitting on the throne, wearing Rawtern's crown on his head and Rawtern's blood on his hands.

Rawthorn is suddenly banished from Hirovilas and thrown into the developing Martis Forest, where an elf, by the name Rhodas, decides to help him restore his place as heir to the throne. It is during Rawthorn's return that he suddenly has strange dreams, dreams of a warrior in shiny armor teaching Rawthorn how to stand firm against everything.

(This golden warrior is an incarnation of Tiberus Fabius, LOL)

With support from his forest friend, aid from his beloved sister, and advice from his spirit companion, Rawthorn must master his own fears, draw his slender sword, and strike down Eltheon and his minions.

All while having to resist his absolute love for Millie, Eltheon's daughter.

Gerard Blonski

2454. Man flew away from Earth shortly after the discovery of a way to extract the energy from the nuclear fusion that makes stars shine. The Sun we know is no longer a sun; it's a giant mass of hardened rock and gas. Earth is a solid ball of ice, Jupiter is 20 times as large as it was, Saturn lost its rings and cracked in half.

The people of the Earth, led by a tyrant governor named Jules Patrick, have fled to the open space, sapping the stars from their energy. They became known as the Government.

In short, man has taken the crap out of all the stars in the galaxy. All except one star named Ultima Centauri. A baby star in the midst of the Eagle Nebula, open to the greedy hands of the Governor.

But then Project Star appeared. Project Star was a society of philosophers, scientists, but most of all, defenders of the stars. They were against the Government, and they even waged war with the Government, in the called Stellar Battles. Although they were reserved for great wars, everyday they risked their lives to protect Ultima Centauri.

One such protector was Commander Gerard Blonski.

Blonski was no weakling scientist. The Stellar Battles had hardened his will and body in a way that his brutality against the Government's army knows no boundaries.

Berto Dodgers (II)

I've decided to get a little more into one of our first superheroes in this blog. As I have said before, Berto Dodgers is a retired but not unemployed scientist that works on the safety of Hero-ville. He usually wears a black uniform covered in a brown cloak, and we can't forget the goggles he inherited from his father.

BUT

Berto Dodgers has been known to assist racing tournaments, championships, and, recently, a grand prix. His vehicle, the Soaring Dodge, has best acceleration, but rudders are a little outdated, making twisted raceways his main weakness. Its huge turbines account for a speed of 1.3 kilometers per second (nearly half of Mach 10 speed)

Dodgers plans to either buy or design resistant turbines that can go at Mach 10 or faster. But in the meantime, his first worry is the battery power on his motor. A single-cell battery (105 V) heats up fast, and with no coolant during a race, this is quite a risk for any racer in Hero-ville. He has been saving for a dual-cell battery replacement (210 V) but his wish is the battery pack (1050 V) for best endurance and good handling.

Overall, the Soaring Dodge could be better, but right no it's OK. It actually made it through the Hero-ville Main Championship. Dodgers has enlisted into the new Vlatmoor Epikha Tournament for Amateurs (V.E.T.A. <= LOL the things I come up with) and is now finishing on the vehicle's final repairs...
