[QUOTE="buzzard, post: 1268106, member: 3003"] OK I have Straightjacket worked up now. I ended up going with more of the growth than the stretching, but that is for economy. I wanted some degree of super strength, and growth incorporates this (as well as protection, which I was have used as an add-on to either super strength or elasticity.) Alias: Straightjacket Name: John Cashman John comes from a town in rural Pennsylvania. It is primarily a mill town where Allegheny Telledyne operates a glasssteel plant. Living in rural Pennsylvania has led to some common traits from the area- hunting, and sports fanaticism. in his case his father focused the fanaticism into wresting. His father, Alan, had been a good wrestler in high school and college, but never could attain the next level and make the Olympic tryouts (especially since there are only a few countries now, the competition is fierce). He decided that his son would make it. From a very yound age he was trained to be a great wrestler.
