Description

Personality

It was a potent combination of altruism and egotism that propelled young Alistair towards a fateful career as a masked vigilante, or “superhero” if you want to stay on his good side. And though his methods may have changed for the better since that time and he may have lost some of his original naivete, it is still that same desire to do good and look good whilst doing so that motivates him to go on with the whole thing. Alistair is an idealist in broad terms, but can be very pragmatic when it comes to situations in which difficult decisions need to be made. He is aware of the occasional need for sacrifices, whether that means breaking a few of a henchman’s fingers to get to a ringleader or letting a jewel thief go free in order to nail a multiple rapist. However, he values human life above all other things, and believes all people capable of redeeming themselves. Thus, he has never taken a human life, and never wishes to. One of the aspects of his pride means that he believes that his powers make him responsible for pretty much everyone around him at any given time. It was also partially this belief in the old adage that “with great power comes great responsibility” that convinced Alistair that becoming a superhero was the right thing to go. And it was not fear that held him back before that, but laziness.

Equipment

Costume: The main component of Rock Hard’s costume is a leather double-breasted trench coat which reaches down to about his knees. This was “acquired” on an early mission from a drug lord’s bodyguard, and has replaced the lycra costume he originally crafted himself to this day. It is quite ostentatious, with lots of unnecessary straps and buckles on the sleeves and shoulders, and a large pointed collar. Alistair has also adorned it with a lot of designs in dark purple studs, including on the back the flaming smiley face that he has made his insignia. In addition to The Coat, Rock Hard wears a pair of somewhat baggy black combat trousers, steel-toed boots and a pair of sturdy black kevlar gloves with reinforced knuckles. On his head he wears a sort of adapted Lucha Libre mask which bares the bottom half of his face but covers his neck. Dark purple flame designs surround his eyes.

Equipment: Uses a radio system built into his headwear to both communicate with his allies and eavesdrop on police radio channels. Aside from that, just his boots, gloves, and a light bulletproof vest he wears under his Coat.
