When the Weathermen issued its "Declaration of a State of War" against the United States government, patriotic masked hero the Hammer of Justice took it upon himself to bring the domestic terrorist group to justice. (The Hammer of Justice had for many years been an object of ridicule by the anti-establishment counter culture born in the 1950s. He was satirized in the song "If I Had a Hammer" in 1958.) Unfortunately, the Hammer of Justice never put a stop to the Weathermen, for he was killed trying to thwart one of that group's many bombings of government buildings.Three years after the Hammer of Justice died in a fiery explosion, John Stone was born in Holdenville, Oklahoma. He lived a simple, conventional life with his parents. He was a distinguished student and athlete in high school, but put off college to serve a four-year term of enlistment in the U.S. Army as a military police. After his discharge, he attended the University of Oklahoma, studying criminal justice and psychology. He married Gabriella Sandoval, and fathered two sons, John IV and Eric.Stone graduated with honors, and signed up with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He displayed a talent for criminal investigation and interrogation. After training at Quantico, he returned to Oklahoma, assigned as a special agent working out of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.On April 19, 1995, Stone was in the field, assisting local law enforcement with a suspected serial killer case. He was supposed to meet Gabrielle and his children for breakfast at 9:00 a.m. Stone's wife and children arrived a little early. As they walked down the hallway to the cafeteria, the Ryder truck left by Timothy McVeigh exploded, destroying the Federal Building. The death roll reached 168 persons, including Stone's wife and children.Stone barely remembers the next several days. He was like the walking wounded. The evening after his wife and children's funeral, Stone slept fitfully, tormented by dreams of the explosion and a gnawing sense of personal responsibility. In one of these dreams, a glowing hammer floated over his wife's and children's graves. When Stone grasped the hammer in his dream, he awoke with a start and a new sense of purpose.In some way as yet unexplained, Stone has inherited the Hammer of Justice's trademark weapon. He reported the strange event to his superiors, and requested a special assignment. For the next few years, Stone wreaked havoc on the white supremacist underground of which Timothy McVeigh and his coconspirators were a part. His efforts stopped three more bombings, and led to the arrest and conviction of 17 high-ranking members of various white supremacist groups.It's been two years since the last case was closed. Stone has officially left the FBI, although he still retains many of his law enforcement and government contacts. Consequently, Stone's been left pretty much to his own devices.When the Freedom League contacted Stone about becoming a member of its new world-wide initiative, Stone accepted the invitation. It's not only a chance for his life to get some direction, but also puts a former agent of the U.S. government in with what is seen by some as a troubling new development in the superhero community.[/sblock][sblock=Powers] Stone is highly skilled normal in most respects. He is certainly one of the Bureau's best field agents. As the heir of the Hammer of Justice, Stone is able to summon forth a powerful mallet. Stone wields the weapon with uncanny skill, most of this fighting prowess bestowed upon him by the hammer's unique properties.[/sblock][sblock=Game Stats]STR 16 (+3); DEX 14 (+2); CON 16 (+3); INT 14 (+2); WIS 20 (+5); CHA 16 (+3)TOU +3 (+9 with hammer of justice); FORT +7; REF +7; WILL +7; INIT +2; KNOCKBACK -1 (-7 with hammer of justice)MELEE +8 (+12 with hammer of justice); RANGE +8; GRAPPLE +11; DAMAGE +3 unarmed, +8 hammer of justice (crit 18-20); DEFENSE +8 (+11 with hammer of justice)Skills (Ranks): Computers +5 (3), Diplomacy +10 (7), Drive +6 (4), Gather Information +15 (12), Intimidate +10 (7), Investigate +17 (15), Knowledge (behavioral sciences) +8 (6), Knowledge (civics) +7 (5), Knowledge (current events) +6 (4), Knowledge (streetwise) +11 (9), Language (Spanish) (1), Medicine +5 (3), Notice +12 (7), Profession (FBI agent) +10 (5), Search +11 (9), Sense Motive +13 (8), Stealth +10 (8), Swim +5 (3)Feats: Connected, Contacts, Equipment 4, Interpose, Quick Draw, Teamwork, Well-InformedPowers:Hammer of Justice (Container 6)* Protection 6 (Extra: Impervious [+1])* Strike 5 (Power Feats: Accurate 2, Improved Critical 2, Improved Sunder, Mighty, Power Attack, Split Attack, Takedown Attack 2)* Shield 3 (Duration: Continuous)Super-Senses 1 (Effect: Uncanny Dodge [visual])Super-Strength 1 (Heavy Load: 460 lb.; Flaw: Only for carrying capacity [-1])Attack/Damage Tradeoff: +2/-2Defense/Toughness Tradeoff: +1/-1Abilities 36 + Skills 29 (116 ranks) + Feats 10 + Powers 32 + Combat 32 + Saves 11 = 149[/sblock]</blockquote>
