Here is another Bio for a superhero I thought of. I took inspiration from a show about Romanians coming to the UK to get some benefits and among them was one who uses a skateboard to get from A to B. I thought Colmaton could have a superhero that, despite his condition can be an inspiration and that heroes can come from the most unlikely places. I just hope I can arrange some illustrations of him in the near future. Please like and favourite.

Thank you  The_Character_Consultancy for your guidance in helping me flesh out his backstory.

Clothes, helmet and protective goggles. Superhero outfit is undecided.

Personality: Despite losing his legs and having to use a skateboard to move from A to B, he is determined to prove himself and will do what he can to be an inspiration to others. Although open to various types of skateboards and other means of transport, he’s got no interest in using wheelchairs. Will stand up to those who bully and belittle fellow disabled fursons. Has learned to speak multiple languages. Loves to play the accordion.

Powers and abilities: Has quick reflexes and fast moving arms. Uses these with his skateboard to move really fast and can navigate a complex obstacle course without crashing and has practiced with many types of skateboards. Because of his missing legs, is very short and can move through vents with ease. Has learned how to do hand to hand combat. Very good at acting and has experience with providing distractions.

Weaknesses: His skateboard is the only means of getting to areas quickly, without it, he would have to rely on his arms to move and that can tire him. Needs the right skateboard for the right job, though he will adapt if necessary.

Bio: Born in Aninoasa in Romania, Razvan was part of a large but poor family which was struggling to make ends meet. His childhood suffered when he got into an accident at a young age and the doctor had no choice but to amputate both his legs to the point of half his calfs. Knowing it was going to be hard for him, his family helped him through the traumatic experience, however they could, despite the already difficult financial burden of his large family. At first they wanted to give him a wheelchair but as he reached his early teenage years, he opted to rely on a skateboard that he found before his accident to move around in his life. This wasn’t easy due to Aninoasa’s dirt roads, but he managed.

When he became an adult, Romania’s economy was unable to provide him with the financial support for his family, so he migrated to the UK to earn more benefits to help support his family as his parents got older. His amputee legs and his language barrier made it hard to find a job for him. To try to make ends meet he actually took it upon himself to play an accordion that he inherited from his late uncle, but the police refused to let him play, claiming it was causing anti-social behaviour by busking in the streets. He was then invited to a sermon hosted by a New Zealand paster who’s arms and legs were deformed due to a condition that happened while he was in his mother’s womb, but despite this, became a successful motivational speaker and the paster’s sermon became an inspiration for him to seek out his passion. He started by managing to participate in a couple of films, of which his roles, although minor, included being a soldier out to help his fellow men in a war zone, a scientist in a major lab company and even an evil warlord in a sci-fi movie. During his free time he watched several martial arts movies for inspiration and was enamoured at the seemingly impossible stunts performed by the actors as they took on thugs without getting hurt. He soon dreamed to be the one out there, fighting those thugs with ultra fast arms and his skateboard as a means to hold off the bad guys. He also continued to practice his accordion, but with mixed results, due to having no teacher. But his ultimate passion came in the form of his skateboard when he went to a skateboard park and saw skaters performing gravity defying stunts and he wanted to do it himself. It wasn’t an easy path, he was mocked for his missing legs and he did fail over and over again, but he refused to give in and after lots of practice he showcased himself performing tricks and stunts, despite his amputee status. His performance, along with deciding to teach other skateboarders to develop their skills, earned him enough money to invite his parents into the UK to stay.

His life would change as he gave his mother a tour of his new home town when a thug soon grabbed her handbag and in doing so forced her to fall face first onto the floor. Razvan soon gave chase with his skateboard and despite the uneven pavement, was determined to catch up with the thief. The thief then turned to a street that had a downhill angle and Razvan soon caught up to the thief and grabbed his foot to cause the thief to lose balance but the thief revealed that he was armed with a sharp knife and almost cuts Razvan, but he managed to stop his knife with his skateboard, but the thief grabbed his skateboard and pried it from him and would have stabbed Razvan, but the police managed to intercept the fight and both Razvan and the thug were taken to the precinct. During his time there, he was released by the support of Maria Olivier, who vouched his support, having learned what happened and helped him return his mother’s handbag to her. Feeling indebted to her, the two would become friends. When it was his birthday in 2010, she got him to try out new skateboards, offering to pay for his choice.

It was during the try out for a new skateboard at the park when one of his stunts went wrong and was going to be badly hurt but Maria encased him in her forcefield balls to prevent his injury. Razvan then was understandably unnerved by this turn of events and begged to be let go, but as she settled him down and he was about to get some distance he saw a fellow gypsy in the form of a deer who was getting dragged along by his leg by several extremists who viewed him and his other natives as an “invasion” and a “blight”. Razvan soon grew angry as the thugs continued to abuse the deer and approached them and stood up to them, which ended in a fight, which caused Maria to intervene by putting on her mask and she joined in using her powers to stop the extremists and drive them away. Seeing his courage, she revealed herself to be Kapten Lila to him and she took him to the HQ of the European division of the Bureau of Superheroes. Despite giving him some protective equipment for his skateboarding skills and his desire to do the right thing, they were skeptical of his abilities being enough to be an asset to the group, but he soon proved his worth to be a member when a fire broke out in a block of flats and despite his condition, managed to get inside the burning building and retrieved an infant baby stuck in its bed as the fire grew out of control. With the help of some firemen, Razvan got the baby out of the burning building using his new skateboard.

By proving that heroes can come from the most unusual circumstances, the European BOS paved the way for his dream desire by training him in martial arts to play a much more important role than an actor. Since then he publicly demonstrates his skills to inspire other people who were disabled, be it amputees or with learning difficulties to help them achieve their dreams. But secretly he works for the European BOS to fight crime.
