Yaguar's Background:
Joining the Parachute Regiment works. I will edit the background and add in the contacts.

Benjamin Farn/Yaguar?: Backing 3 (presuming as ex-military he has a respect of sorts for authority), Heroism 1 or 2 - depends how you see him operating... but he has claws and hunts (literally) criminals... Identification is probably a 2 or 3, PR ???? and Practice 1.

I've refined his look a little and given him golden claws - ties in with Aztec myth ascetics a little more (and is more "heroic") Not sure on his final codename so held off on his comic logo. Jaguar? Yaguar (original spelling of word meaning "he who kills with one leap" which I think is really cool :)

Public Status

Yaguar works. It definitely fits for the powers.

Backing- 3 seems right. He knows and talks to some officers, but is not officially working with them.

Heroism- I see this as falling more between 2-3. He is new to the scene and looks large and scary, but is starting to work with at least some police. So vigilante boarding on just suspect.

Identification 2: I am large and have claws. I am not so big as to be inhuman, but I would definitely be seen as different then others when I am powered up and moving

PR 3- I am standoffish. I am currently feeling my way out and have had bad PR as a tomb raider in the past so I am not looking for the lime light.

Practice- 1- Check- Just making an appearance.

Final Public Status- 11/12 depending on the Heroism Rating. So I am Disliked/Resented. Sounds like a fun starting point.

Detective Points
Methods: I was thinking 4- I take time to research and look for where I should go. I have learned to speak with witnesses to find out the stories and hash out the truth when looking for lost treasure. If you want me to drop this to 3, let me know.
Publicity: 3- I am a big guy with claws. I attract the news, but do not go out of my way to be in the lime light.
Approachability: 2- I have to go find information more than I have people running up to ask for help.
Power Use: 4- I have a divine intuition that helps guide me in my efforts.
Contacts: 5- I know my way around London and have some contacts in the police. I am new, but my intuition has led me to some people willing to work with me.
Final Detective Points: 18- Normal, follows up on the odd lead.

Personal Status
Conscience: 3- Average, I have nothing to hide, but nothing stellar here either..
Expression: 4- Ben loves a good party. It is a great place to find out interesting tidbits that might be profitable or help others.
Success Rate Rating: 0- Newbie.
Public Response: 2- Mistrusted, but working on it!
Security: 7- I am sure I can succeed even if others have not before me.
Final Personal Status: 16: Secure- Normal

I am sorry that I have been out of touch for a bit. I have had a crazy week of work. I will try and go through all of this and answer the questions tomorrow including an idea of how I am connected to Lady Frost.

I will be going on a vacation from Sunday, the 20th, through the following Saturday, the 27th. I should have some access to the internet, but I am not sure how much time I will have to post. So please feel free to bot me as needed.

So I would say that Ben is a 5. He found and sold a various artifacts he found in South America. He also has some money saved from his military time. Currently, he mainly makes money doing talks about his exploration to exotic places for clubs or scholarly groups to feel close to the lands they are reading about.

He probably has sold everything that he intends to sell, even if he kept a few minor pieces he likes. I would like him to have a temporary position with the museum providing insight and curation of the South America section. He will be looking to get a permanent position with the museum or one of the major universities.

Larger Strength bonus: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Larger Vigor bonus: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

HTC: 20d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 2, 4, 6, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 6, 4, 4, 2) = 64

HTK: 20d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5, 5, 6, 4, 6, 3, 2, 5, 4, 4, 5, 1, 2, 4, 2, 5, 2, 5) = 72

I believe I have my character sheet fully filled out now with what I can do. I am not sure about some of the Backing information, etc.

Let me know if I am missing something or failed to do correctly.

Questions for the Black Dow:

So Leaping is based off of Movement speed. Speed doubles my movement but says it does not affect other movement powers and then calls out Flying as not be affected by the increase. Do I multiply by my original speed or the new base land speed when determining my leaping distance?

Both Leaping and Speed give bonuses to a Hand/Foot attack after I charge in. Can I use my Claws on this attack instead or combine the damage?

@Benjamin Farn: Ah getcha. Sorry I was taking things literally with the Jaguar - pastiche of Black Panther/The Leopard/etc..

Okay, how does this work? Hopefully more in line with your vision: Yaguar (He Who Kills With One Leap)

Yes, this looks like what I was aiming for. I was not thinking of transforming into a cat.

I picked a new avatar. In my costume I wear a black bodysuit with gloves and a the Avatar is what my head looks like. The beaded part should look a little more like this though.

I think I would prefer Intuition. I put it in my background as the God whispering warnings. So I will stick with that and drop the heightened senses.

Dropping Intuition Works if the Heightened Senses does the same thing.

Lets go with Previous Training for my time in the military.

Benjamin will approach the Sanjan and speak with a friendly smile, "That sounds like an amazing ceremony that I would dearly love to see one day, when I am more enlightened then I am now, and it is certainly something that you all should do in your mourning for your beloved lost companion. But I am sure you will understand that the rest of us might opt for a different ceremony as we not part of your enlightened cohort. Something I am sure you could spend an excellent hour or two expanding upon during your Denunciations."

Ben smiles at the aunt and says, "I think I will. Until we talk again."

He will then find his way towards the new group and approach them with a smile and an outstretched hand, "Good day, I am Benjamin Farn. An old friend of Vlen's. I could not help but notice your stylish matching outfits and so I thought I would come and introduce myself. And you all are?"

During the trip Ben asks, "That is odd that he would ask to be dropped off in the middle of no where. Do you still have the coordinates for that? It might be nice to take a stroll around and remanence about an old friend."

Once they arrive Ben says, "Thank you for your kind guidance. Will you be available should we need to travel to where Vlen went for a while or our return trip to the spaceport?"

"I think we play this straight. Trying to hide this isn't going to work. We have some allies on Regina. Lets go in and be public and depend on them to offer support.

"I think getting anywhere but here and lying low for a bit while we figure out where to go next is key. Hiding the artifact is great since we need to hide ourselves. That explosion will be noticeable. If we are tied to it, that artifact may be the least of our concerns."
