Appearance: Personality: Bud is a very independent type of person who likes to play by his own rules, but this doesn't stop him from working with others. Being the son of a relatively unknown god, Bud hasn't heard anything from his dad for as long as he can remember. This has made him have a more loner type personality and he hates others who seek to force their will upon people. Bud is rather conservative in terms of his political views, he doesn't believe in big government, but he has deep respect for war veterans and policemen who lay their life on the line. He judges people by their actions more than their words and regularly will tell a very opinionated person to put their money were their mouth is.
He is rather patriotic and very to be a Texan. He hates northerners or Yankees as he likes to call them sometimes, who think themselves above people who live in more rural parts of the country. Bud despises intellectual snobs and has regularly gotten into fist fights with wise asses trying to bad mouth his home state. He loves football almost as much as he loves riding his motorcycle. He is somewhat religious and goes to church, but he isn't too fundamental in his beliefs, Catholicism is his religion. Ironically even though his father is a god, Bud still believes in the monotheism and views his father as more of a divine spirit than a deity.
Bud is a firm believer in self improvement and thinks that everyone has room to grow and better themselves with without the aid of others. Although he believes in capitalism, Bud still thinks that corporations should have boundaries and not outsource jobs to other nations. As for other superhumans, he tolerates them as long they don't do evil or force their will upon him. Bud has no qualms with killing his enemies if they push him too far and won't hesitate to kill if the situation calls for it.
Classification: divine
Powers/Abilities:Demigod physiology: As with most demigods Bud is granted enhanced physical capabilities as well as unique powers associated with his divine parent. His strength, speed, reflexes and senses are ten times stronger than an Olympic athlete human and is durable enough to take a bullet without suffering too much damage as long as it's not the head or heart. Bud also has a healing factor which can repair wounds and fix broken bones much faster than a normal human, but it won't stop vital wounds from killing him.
Magical Crafting: As the demigod son of Horanor The God of Craftsmanship, Metallurgy and Fire Bud can create weapons, armor and objects with magical properties. He literally can combine the science of craftsmanship with the mystical powers of magic granted to him by his godly parent. His powers allow him to create things at a much faster rate than a human, but still takes time especially if he has to summon the material with his magical powers.
Metal Senses: Bud has a sixth sense, which can detect the exact location of any type of metal even if he can't see it.
Fire Resistance: He has a magical defense against fire and thus is very hard to burn or freeze thanks to his high bodily temperatures.
Flaming hands: Bud can ignite his hands with super hot flames as means of offense in case he is without a weapon and he can also heat up his hands to burn through metal.
Equipment summoning: This powers allows him to summon his equipment.
Weaknesses: He is vulnerable to silver and has no special defenses against it, it is also harder for him to craft it. All of his weapons' magical properties draw power from his massive well of magical energy, but his reserves of magic within him will become depleted after large amounts of combat and it takes a long time to fully replenish his reserves. Water can also greatly weaken his flaming hands power.
Weapons: Bud has a plethora of weapons which include.
A
Harley Davidson motorcycle That can fly at a top speed of mach 4 and fire off blasts of searing heat, and is as tough as a tank. The bike also produces a flaming contrail when it flies. On land it can break the sound barrier, but can only hit a top speed of mach 1.5. Bud can summon the motorcycle to him with his will should he ever become separated from it. The vehicle runs on a mixture of magic and heat which it draws from the environment around it and stores it up inside it when it is not in use, but its source of power can be depleted if it takes too much damage. After a three hour recharge it can run for nine hours.
Magical Gauntlets that can fire off magical blasts that hit with powerful concussive force and burn his enemies.
A
magic sword with a super hot blade.
A
fiery chain which he uses to ensnare his enemies.
A
Winchester Model 1200 that can fire off explosive rounds.
Gear: he has a
breastplate that can protect him gunfire and explosions, but it won't stop him from being injured by a very powerful bomb.
Skills: superb motorcyclist, excellent marksman and very skilled swordsmen. Incredible skill in normal craftsmanship and metallurgy.
Brief History: When you're the demigod son of an relatively unknown god even other demigods ask who Horanor is. So unless people asked him he wouldn't tell them and that was how far his pride in being a demigod would go. Bud was born in in a rural town not too far from Austin Texas and it wasn't until he was eight years old that his mother told him about the son of a god. Being young and Catholic, Bud thought that his mom had been chosen to give birth to a divine child. Even though others called him a demigod, he didn't use the term and preferred to be called a child of the divine.
Eventually his mother was able to marry a normal human husband named John, and even though Bud wasn't always too fund of him they tolerated each other. For most of his pre-adult life he didn't know of the magic deep within him, but he knew that he was different physically when he showed off feats of incredible strnegth. He also had a great skill in craftsmanship and weaponry and regularly tinkered with things. School was not too great of a place for Bud and he found the crowded halls to be unpleasant. He did however develop a love for motorcycles during his high school years.
After he done with school Bud used the money he had saved up to buy his first motorcycle and he was delighted to finally take it for a ride around the long highways that stretched throughout his state. During one of his rides Bud was thrown off his bike by the strange force and was encountered by the sight of his father Horanor who had only come to give instruction on how to use his powers to their proper purpose.
Bud wasn't too happy with having to talk with his father who had up until now taken no interest in being a part of his life, but he took the instruction since he did want to learn how to control the power within him. After the lessons were done his father disappeared and his was on his own again, but this time with his magical crafting abilities. He moved out of his mother's house and went to live in Austin where he went to work for a motor store.
Things were as normal as they could be, but he still used his powers to craft weapons and a new motorcycle with magical properties. He then began to use these tools to fight crime and dispense justice on those he thought deserved it. Eventually he was approached by Prometheus with the offer of joining others in the fight against evil, but after seeing the last attack on earth, he reluctantly joined the agency. Taking the name Rider, Bud is now a biker hero who rides for what thinks his proper justice.
