To All The People Who Took The Time. . .

I wanted to thank everybody who took the time and commented on the Legion stuff I've been putting up. I've been working on this book alone for so long that I wasn't prepared for the comments and I apologize for responding so late!

Arcana Comics has put the book on their site so stay tuned for a release date at: http://www.arcanacomics.com/comicdisplay.php?id=58

So from now on I'll be checking the comments frequently, to see people digging what we're putting together is a feeling I wasn't prepared for. In fact, I think my heart may have grown two sizes. . .

The Syn-Rai

Every seven years a wormhole opens above the planet Syn-Ra. For the next seven months the wormhole acts as a one way mirror, allowing the Syn-Railians a chance to study the people of Earth.

The first wormhole opened over a hundred years ago. The Syn-Rai were a solitary people then, spending most of their lives travelling alone in the vast deserts of their homeworld. One exceptionally brilliant Syn-Railian named Sporac Ock was very much the Leonardo Di Vinci of his world. He was able to create primitive telescopes that allowed him to view the stars and it was with one of these that he first peered through the wormhole. Within three decades, the Syn-Rai had changed their entire civilization. They began to imitate the people of Earth as humanity went through a marvelous age of discovery. Although they could imitate Earth technology, they did not always have the materials available or understand the context of the invention. For example, they built trains without tracks which could travel the desert sands on metal wheels, they built lightbulbs from captured glowflies native to their world.

Recently an arms race has started between two feuding towns of Syn-Rai. One group of Miner Syn-Railians has started building a spacecraft to take them through the wormhole. A more peaceful group of Harvester Syn-Railians have protested this move, believing human is better off viewed from a distance. Unfortunately the Syn-Railian leader, Overseer Kirock Rk, was a Miner as well. When the next wormhole opens up, Earth could be visited by some rather unique guests.

POWERS

The Syn-Railians are a hardy desert people, they are resistant to heat and fire and they have a protective carapace that grows over their more sensitive organs. There is not much difference between male and female Syn-Rai, but Harvester Syn-Railians tend to be slimmer and have longer arms which help them harvest their primary food source, the Maca-Fruit. Miner Syn-Railians are usually stronger due to the hard work they do in the mines. The Syn-Rai have no concept of good and evil, but they are generally courteous and compassionate to each other. However a secret group of Syn-Rai have began to meet in the abandoned mine shafts and may even have discovered a way to alter their genetic structure. Unfortunately the rulers of the planet deny these "Dark Syn's" even exist.

The Minute Men

The Minute Men are a special elite force in the United States Army dedicated to protecting the country from Omega* level threats on U.S. soil. Each soldier is hand picked by a top secret government employee known as The King of Clocks. The King of Clocks works directly with the President and the head of Homeland Security to ensure that the people of the United States are as safe and secure as possible. The Minute Men were not formed as a response to the growing number of superhumans but was actually created as a result of the Katrina disaster and the flooding of New Orleans. The King of Clocks is the only person on the planet who knows where all 1155 Minute Men are located in the country, his identity remains a secret from everyone except his superiors.

Powers

The individual Minute Men have no superhuman abilities, they are simply the best trained and most talented and dedicated soldiers in the world. They are each given a special combat suit and electronic shield. The suit provides protection from most small caliber weapons, regulates body temperature and monitors the M-Man's vital signs. All the information in the suit is accessible through the shield, which is in fact a very sophisticated computer system. Housed inside the shield are all the field electronics and surveillance systems a army division would need but in this case every Minute Man carries one. Working with the suit and goggles, the shield CPU ensures the M-Man always has the most up to date information and technology at his fingertips. The outside of the shield is made of a lightweight Titan-Aluminum alloy that makes it easy to carry and completely bulletproof.

Mister Eight

Senor Ocho is a living legend in Mexico. An unstoppable wrestler and an amazing gunman, the hero known as Senor Ocho, or Mister Eight, has defended the poor and downtrodden of Mexico and South America for over forty years.

After so many years many of Ocho's adventures have become the stuff of myth. Most of the stories cannot be verified, but it is known that Ocho spent much of the 1980's in a blood feud with the infamous Peruvian drug dealer known as The Blood Doctor. It is also known that around 1999 Ocho began training the man who would become the Black Flag. The two men travelled together across Mexico, fighting in bar brawls and taking down a number of prominent Mexican criminals and American fugitives. Although they were wanted by the law at one point, the FBI dropped all charges when they brought back the daughter of prominent Republican Governor Chuck Norris who had been kidnapped in 2001. Ocho is known to be quick tempered and it is believed that a dispute over a woman brought the friendship between The Black Flag and Senor Ocho to an end.

Many have speculated about his name, whether he is one of eight Luchador heroes, or even that might have eight lives. What is known is that anywhere there is a fight, whether in a bar, a ring or pay per view event, if the spirit of wrestling is there, Ocho is there somewhere.

POWERS:
Ocho has been mystically augmented, his strength, toughness and endurance are far beyond the average human. He is a world class wrestler and MMA fighter, able to use or counter most holds and grapples.
Ocho also wears a retractable pistol on his wrists that can slide down into his palm, but his weapons of choice are his pair of brass knuckles that read "Lucha"and "Libre" or "Free" "Fight".
