Mon Fighter Ghost (Open Source)

Real Name: Sean Libbens

Created by: Marz Workman, 10-22-2019

Origin/History

Sean is a young man working for a local grocery store. He helps others when he can and does really good at work. Not really an athlete, but does study martial arts.

On his way home from work, Ghost Tiger and Mon Fighter J are battling the villain, Kaiju Khan. Not unusual for heroes to be fighting villains in this city, but this was the baddest villain on the block and he wanted to prove it. Ghost Fighter was taking on Kaiju Khan while Mon Fighter J was taking on the kaiju itself. Both heroes were defeated.

Sean went to assist Ghost Tiger with his injuries. Ghost Tiger died just as Sean arrived. His ring left his finger and floated into Sean's hand. Sean then went to assist Mon Fighter J, only to find him already deceased. Mon Fighter J's changing device falls to Sean's feet. Sean picks it up and sees that the energy ring is broken. He looks at Ghost Tiger's ring then puts it in the changing device. It powers up and he is transformed into a Ghost Tiger and Mon Fighter J hybrid.

Having instantly gained all powers of both heroes, he immediately attacks Kaiju Khan. They battle evenly for several minutes and the kaiju continues to ravage the city. Sean breaks off from fighting long enough to summon a Mon to battle the kaiju. He goes back to battling Khan.

Khan is defeated as is the kaiju he envoked. He calls back the kaiju and flees.

Sean sends his Mon home.

He later resumes battling Mons and, now, ghosts in honor of the heroes who gave their lives to protect the city.

Ghost Tiger (Open Source)

Real Name: George Timball

Created by: Marz Workman, 10-22-2019

Origin/History

George is a local policeman and former military serviceman. He served during WWII. Upon returning home, he became a policeman. On a certain day, he came across a robbery at a local Chinese gift store. He entered, and, after a short confrontation, he subdued the thief. To show his appreciation, the Chinese man, Leung Mong, gave him a ring. It is not known if Leung knew the ring bestowed power.

Once home, George remembered the ring in his pocket and placed it on his finger. A wash of emotions and thoughts and feelings and pain overtook him. During this ordeal of bestowal, a voice speaking a form of Chinese began to tell him of the power of the ring, and somehow, George understood. When the event ended, George passed out for the night.

The next morning, George awoke feeling better than he had before the war. He went on duty. During his day, he had chased criminals through the city. During these chases, a few of his powers manifested themselves. Once off duty, he returned to the store where he received the ring, only it was not there. According to the owner of the shop that was there, there was never a Chinese store there as his store had been there for twenty years.

At home, George was overcome with confusion, and he stares at the ring on his finger. All of a sudden, an older Chinese man appears in a ghostly form before George. He explains what the ring does and tells George that he must meditate daily to unlock and master the ring's power. He also says that the power can be used for good or evil, the choice belongs to George.

George begins to meditate daily, slowly over time unlocking new abilities. He also bought a farm outside of town so he could practice his new powers. He discovers that he has the abilities of a ghost and is able to equal or better anyone in combat. So, after a few encounters on duty, using his powers secretly, George decides to don a costume and fight crime off-duty as a super hero. He chooses a tiger for the base of his alter ego, as its symbol is on the ring. Couple that with his ghost-like abilities, and he called himself Ghost Tiger.
