Character Contest 85: Sci-Fi Dungeoneering
Counter-intelligence agents specializing in infiltration. They assume civilian identities and spy on their neighbors. Often, these jobs are in research fields (colleges and universities, laboratories, data centers, think tanks, etc.). These secret police do not arrest or act until ordered. When activated, they conduct a merciless scorched-earth campaign.
Raijū have surgical implants that release electrical charges. For lesser tasks (destroying computers, disabling electronic locks, baffling security cameras and detectors), the charge is bio-electrical. Battery packs in their combat suits magnify their power several-fold (set a house on fire, knockout a local power grid). As a last resort, Raijū can self-destruct. The electrical surge has been known to melt craters up to 8 meters deep and 100 meters wide.
RaijÅ« is a mythological creature from Japanese mythology. The word translates as “thunder beast.” Their bodies are made of lightning, often in the shape of a cat or weasel. Lightning marks on trees are said to be the beast’s claws scratching the bark.

Character Contest 88: Space Pirates!
On a personal note, this Contest started on my birthday.

Thanks, Weilyn. That hand works well for rock and ice formations.
Character Contest 88: Space Pirates!
Life aboard a pirate ship is not always party and plunder. It needs constant upkeep, especially the mundane task of scraping nebula barnacles from the hull:

Character Contest 89: Super Omega Deathbattle Warzone Apocalypse (The Most Dangerous Game Ever Made)
Winning designs would be actual characters in Thunderpunch’s SODWA video game! Every now and then Woody posts updates in the HeroMachine Forums.
For my part, I just had fun with no expectation to win. This was pretty much open-ended, create whatever. I did expand on my concepts after the contest was over.

I had a write-up for this character on the old UGO Forums. Alas, it is gone now. Evaporated in the aether. The Topaz Daemon is cannon-fodder that progressively gets tougher as the players advance through the game. They start as hordes of lumbering brutes. Toward the end, they are few but are elite and deadly swift. Their right claw is able to cast energy bolts; their left claw shreds armor.

Thanks, WMD. I like what you have posted so far. My general rule about copyright: When in doubt, don’t post. I think your Iron Maiden is neat. As for being within the limits, my personal opinion is she’s safe – but I’m not a lawyer.
