I'm really excited about my latest batch of Hero Machine creations. These two are some of the odder members of the Fantastic Avenging Justice Men friends, but their contributions are by no means small. Without further ado:

Tree Guy- Unlike most of the heroes Ray Girl would eventually recruit to the FAJMF, Thomas Woodridge actually wanted to be a hero from the get-go. Knowing nothing about the origin of his powers, Tom merely saw them for what they were: an advantage in helping people few others had. He took to the life of a superhero with fervor, stopping muggings and saving people from disasters wherever he could. There were two problems, however: 1) This made him the target of supervillains, the mob, and other dangerous people, and 2) his only real power is the ability to turn into a tree. Just an ordinary, immobile, 20 ft. tree. A combination of gumption and luck kept Thomas alive long enough to meet Ray Girl while fighting his arch-nemesis, the Grey Gardener . Lead by her example, Tree Guy decided to take his unremarkable superheroics to the next level by joining a team, giving him the tools he'd need to protect the world and the people on it.

Skeleton Man- The Gonzo Brothers Circus was once a monument to all things mystical and macabre. After the deaths of the eponymous duo, it slowly devolved into a band of petty crooks and crooked carnies. While a shadow of its former self, it proved formidable as a criminal organization. Its activities brought it to the attention of Blue Jay , looking for a big and easy score to prove his worth as a hero. Recruiting Ray Girl, the two set-off to stop the machinations of the evil circus, encountering, among other obstacles, a summoned army of skeletons. They were easily dispatched, but Ray Girl realized too late that they were fully sentient creatures. With only one left, she offered it an apology and asked for his name. The being had a sense of having once had a life of his own, but nothing but the faintest hints of a memory remained. All that he knew was that he desired life, Ray Girl and Blue Jay's ignorance was not malice, and that the circus had to be stopped. The two heroes agreed on that last point, and together with their new friend put the final nail in the Gonzo Brothers' coffin. The Skeleton Man declined offers of further help, deciding he wanted to find his own way in the world. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that if he could only lead a half-life, he would make up the other half by living for others. The Skeleton Man is held together by a magical field which allows him to talk, see, and move despite lacking any kind of organs or nerves. The field also makes him stronger than the average adult human and his bones more durable than human bones. His fingers and toes are also good for scratching. It isn't much, but neither are the powers of his teammates. Together, they may just be able to make a difference.

So that's it for the core team. There are still two more to go, though. They're just a little more unusual to the team dynamic. One is already complete, and I'm super excited to make the second one. Also, not gonna lie, Hero Machine is super addicting. I may just keep making more of my characters as the inspiration comes to me. Hope you guys aren't going to get sick of this xP Let me know what you think! I'd be happy to answer any questions.
