Blackjack McCoy

Phantom Horseman

Concept: Blackjack's transformation began when he stumbled upon an ancient ritual while on the run from the law. The vengeful spirit of a mustang, wronged by humans in life, saw potential in the outlaw and chose to imbue him with its power.

Origin: Blackjack McCoy, a former outlaw, has been imbued with the spirit of a vengeful mustang, granting him the ability to summon and control phantom horses that ride the skies.

Hindrances

Vow (Major): Sworn to summon the mustang spirit only when innocents are in danger - never to use the bond for personal gain or vengeance.
Habit (Minor): Carries a small medicine bundle of mustang hair into every encounter - touches it before drawing on the spirit.
Mean (Minor): Sharp-tongued by default - outlaw life filed his manners off, and the mustang spirit's wild pride only honed the edge.
