Hello my loyal following! The "Biggie" drawing contest has brought us one step closer to the goal of completing the RPG. I had two submissions, and here they are!
Nick has given us a highly detailed, high tech character with an abundance of storage places on his body armor. This guy would be on the rangy, thin side for a Biggie, but the drawing conveys the 7 foot height. Not all Biggies choose to work out and stay buff. Here we have an explorer/biologist, used to working in hostile environments. Nick completes the image of the explorer/scientist with a sensory enhancement/air filter mask.
Justin has given us a view of what the Biggies looked like after the reformation wars. This guy is in great shape, and has manged to get himself on the October page of 'Man!' magazine's charity calendar. Seen here in a preserved section of old Chicago, Ip Cheng is trying to look "historic" and "sexy" at the same time. Yes, he is leaning on a blue mail box.
The rifle is a recent model from Colt, the HAR-89, firing the vaunted 12x130mm assault rifle cartridge.
Biggies wear a bio-tech answer to early powered armor, used in the Reformation War as shock troopers. While they were not quick to produce, they were notably less expensive, and required far less maintanence than the powered exoskeltons of the day, and could operate in the field much, much longer.
No one ever thought they would be able to produce children (or that any baseline woman would be interested in trying it). However, after the wars, those that were transitioned into civilian life often had children, and the genes that make them so large are dominant. This led to the continuation of the line into modern times.
Standing 7 feet tall, and weighing in excess of 350 lbs, these guys can do some serious damage in a fight. However, their natural dexterity is not any better than a base line human's, and they are known to be a little dim (though this may be exaggerated by prejudice). Off of Earth, they tend to find work in mainly labor and security jobs, again, due to prejudice.
THANKS AGAIN GUYS! All caps, because I mean it!
Next Challenge - Hawk O'Hansen and/or Keeva "Smith." They're a couple.
Hawk: Description - Star ship pilot/owner who likes to wear cowboy hats, known for having a western flavor to his mode of dress, but still has a habit of wearing his ship suit while aboard his vessel, the Mike Tyson. He's on the taller side, and has a sturdy, but not exaggerated build. He is ruggedly handsome, unscarred, and wears a smug look most of the time. His dattoo (data tattoo) is typically displaying a hawk on his left forearm when in screen saver mode. He loves to fly, and favors a bit of a five o'clock shadow when Keeva is not around.
Keeva: An attractive woman, with strong, angular features. Dark hair with lighter highlights and jet black eyes (bio-grafted IR/UV/low-light adapted eyes, iris takes up all visible area) set her apart from the crowd. She is a Greyhound, and therefore in epic physical shape, and likes to show that off by wearing her ship suit open to reveal her...feminine assets. She has a collection of sunglasses to guard her sensitive eyes when ever she is planet side or in brighter ship environments.
