Boingy! Boingy!
Inspired by way too many comic books and Monte Cook's When the Sky Falls: Resskitt Gentlemane, pseudonatural centaur adept and defender of his wilderness homeland. If you like Resskitt, check out Death-Who-Hops.
Background: Resskitt Gentlemane, a centaur adept, was part of a hunting party in a remote wilderness region that had the misfortune of being struck by a strange, glowing rock that fell from the depths of space. Except for Resskitt, the entire hunting party was slain either by the unfathomable shockwave from the meteor's impact or else perished in the wildfire set off by the supremely hot mass of rock and iron.
Resskitt did not, however, emerge from the ordeal untouched. Eldritch energies for the farthest, most alien reaches of space infused his body and wreaked terrible magical changes. Resskitt is now an amazingly powerful, pseudonatural creature. Since his transformation, Resskitt has become not only the champion for his particular tribe, but is also the guardian of the entire region.
To aid him this new role, the various tribes under Resskitt's protection have gifted him with several powerful magic items. Resskitt now spends most of his time on the move, patrolling his territory, seeking out and destroying threats to those under his care.
