Height: 1.83 m	Hair: Blonde
Weight: 97.00 kg	Eyes: Green
Appearance: Eric is your standard superhero energy projector, athletic without being too bulky, handsome without being overbearing, and tall without being gigantic. He dresses in casual wear and often a lab coat. The CT costume is a blue body suit with a gold domino mask, boots, and a golden thunderbolt on his chest. The thunderbolt starts at his left shoulder and ends just below his sturnum.
Personality: Eric is a good hearted young man. He works hard to improve his control of his powers and spends his time trying to be a better hero. He is ernest if a bit overeager at times.
Quote:"Truely the pun is the most foul of superhero witicisms, but beleive me, you will get a CHARGE out of this one!"
Background: Eric Singer was a computer science student at MIT in 1995. He was alone in the computer lab one evening when everyone else not late with their thesis were at the commons courtyard where President was speaking. Eric took a break from his work and looked out the window when the Ultimates attacked. The supervillain team had planned to hold the entire campus as well as the President hostage. Eric saw them from his vantage point and quickly pulled the fire alarm. This alerted the secret servicemen who began to converge on the disguised villains. Their ambush ruined, the Ultimates scattered. One member, Thunderbolt, in a fit of pique fired a bolt of lightning at Eric. The incredible rush of energy unlocked Eric's latent mutant abilties. Eric found that he, like Thunderbolt was able to control, even become, electricity. Eric instinctively transported via electrical outlet to his dorm and grabed his "thunderman" halloween costume. Wearing that and a domino mask(his thunderman mask was being used by a friend down the hall), Eric flew into battle. Although inexperienced and initially out gunned, Eric drew the attention of the Ultimates away from the President while he awaited superhuman backup. His televised mano y mano against Thunderbolt was rebroadcast for almost three weeks. Eric's heroics were lauded by nearly everyone. He developed a slightly different costume and announced himself Captain Tempest. He later joined the fledgling superteam, the Frontline. He has served with them since 1996 and has been elected chairman twice in that time. He and Thunderbolt hate eachother and their battles have been known to cause great distruction and when they are through, both combatants often require medical attention.
Powers/Tactics: Standard energy projector. As a result of his clashes with Thunderbolt, he has developed a "lightning punch" of his own.
Campaign Use: Just a filler hero. The rest of the Frontline consists of (Enforcer (My namesake), Emperia, Syphon, Rising Sun, Mantis, and Xenonoblaster) They might make appearances.

Height: 1.78 m	Hair: Glowing Blue energy
Weight: 71.00 kg	Eyes: Silver
Appearance: A beautifull goddess, cast in gleaming blue tinted silver, Alexandria bears a striking resemblance to Marvel Comic's Nova (the shiny female of fire, not bucket head). When "armored up" she wears no clothing, her metallic "skin" has a dark metallic blue eye symbol on her chest. Other than that, nothing. Her hair is a soft, transparent energy, it can be touched and tingles a bit. In her civies, she dresses like a bond girl. She enjoys her body's cosmic "enhancements" and feels she can dress however she wants.
Personality: Emperia is a "world guardian" she sees herself as a protector of the entire planet. She aslo sees this as a job. Eventually she expects the Earth to get along without her and explore the universe. She's aloof and quite arrogant, but she tries to do the right thing and has made attempts at modesty.
Quote:"You do not give the orders around here; I do."
Background: Alexandria Austin was intent on seeing the world. The daughter of a diplomat, she was going to follow in her mother's footsteps and become an attaché. She spent six years attending school in Pennsylvania and Europe. She went to the right parties, and pretty much made herself as many contacts as possible. On night, she was at a party for a young dilettante from France, when she and a few of her friends decided to travel down to the coast. On her way there a shooting star struck the earth right in front of her car. She swerved and hit a tree. Her car was totaled and she had flown through the windshield and lay dying on the road. She struggled to breath, tried in vain to move or speak, but nothing was happening. It was then that she heard in her mind the feeble voice of Kymar. Kymar was a being of vast power, but the power had attracted Devios the Mad. Devios was also a being of vast power and he wanted to clean out the competition, and potential competition, and a couple of worlds because they were ugly. Devios had assaulted Kymar just outside of the earth's atmosphere and would surely come down to lay claim to Kymar's power and snuff out its life. Kymar was dying and it posed a solution to the young woman. We are both dying, it seems... it began, Perhaps, I can spare us both. Using its telekinetic powers, Kymar brought Alexandria's dying body over towards it. With barely enough strength to open her eyes, Alexandria stared at the alien, it resembled a bluish silver Pegasus from Greek legends, although its wings had no feathers and its head looked less like a horse and more like a dragon. Hmmm...it appears I have sustained more damage than I had thought... The voice in her head was getting softer, Your world is in danger, Devios will not be quenched by my death alone...Take my power human, perhaps you can find away to save your world... Alexandria woke in a crater. Next to her was a broken corpse of a being she had never seen before. In her head swam thoughts of danger. Concentrating, she pinpointed it. Looking to the sky she could almost see Devios. Without thinking, a sheath of cosmic metal surrounded her body and she prepared for battle. Mentally summoning as many heroes as she could, Emperia took off to battle the Mad Titan. Since driving off Devios, she has traveled the globe and much of the solar system. She has faced beings of cosmic and psionic might. She has saved the world. Someday, she will travel to the stars and see what the rest of the universe is like, but now, Earth needs her.
Powers/Tactics: A powerful mentalist made even more powerful with a cosmic variable power pool at her disposal. She has the traditional "Cosmic" abilities of spuerhuman strength and gleaming, environmentally independant, and hyper resiliant skin. She can fly.
Campaign Use: She's annoying but tries to do the right thing. She thinks she's always right and powerful enough to push around entire teams. She should be used carefully.

Height: 1.96 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 124.00 kg	Eyes: Blue
Appearance: Tall, unsettlingly handsome and graceful. Enforcer was created to be a protector and a companion. He is well versed in social skills and has impeccable taste in clothes. He has short black hair and piercing blue eyes. The Enforcer uniform is white with plue trim, black boots and gloves. He wears a blue opaque headset.
Personality: Enforcer is a respectful and straightlaced guy. He has slowly developed a more comfortable, and philosophical appraoch to life after being created as a souless being for war and "sport". He sees Anna as family, not a possible romantic partner. Early in his career as a superhero he had many affairs with other superhumans; this is most likely due to the "programming" he had at creation, he enjoys sex and making women happy. As he has grown as an individual, he has sought more permanent relations but occasionally his reputation from the early days works against him. He is a solidly heroic professional in his costumed identity; works well with others, respectful of the authorities and gets along well with both the "free will" supers and the "By the Book" heroes in part due to his own clashes with Free Will vs Programmed Classism. He rarely gets angry during combat but when he does can be a truely frightning foe.
Quote:"Surrender Firewing, or face the consequences."
Background: Bio-Unit A#2231234, know known as Alric Victor as well as the heroic, Enforcer, began his life in an alternate dimension in which the Earth is run by a scientific meritocracy known as the Tech Lords. Created as a pleasure/guardian unit by Contessa Lilith Strossen of the Clonists, Unit A#2231234, then dubbed, Adonis, was found to be “too sentient” and lacking sexual technique for the vain and sex crazy Contessa. Rather than having the unique Bio-Unit destroyed Contessa Strossen traded it to Baron Otto Rupert, a Machinist. Otto intended to use the Bio-Unit as a bodyguard and companion to his daughter Anna. Anna was the one who discovered Adonis’s unusually high level of individuality. He was given the name Alric to better fit his personality. Alric served faithfully for several years until Baron Rupert’s genius came to the attention of King Albert the III, the Zerstoiten family had ruled Earth for four generations now and had stayed in power by stealing and adapting the work of others. When the Destroids and Black Talon agents invaded the Rupert Stronghold to steal Baron Otto’s Dimensional Aporter, Alric led the Rupert Model Defense bots in the defense of his lord and lady. Although he accounted for the destruction of several of the foes, Alric found the invasion force overwhelming. He knew there would be no help from the authorities as they turned a blind eye to the intrigue and violence between the lords. Alric was ordered by Baron Otto to rendezvous at the workshop. When he arrived he was informed that he needed to follow Anna through the Aporter. “I cannot abandon you Baron. You go, I will operate the machine.” “No Alric,” Otto said with a rueful grin, “My time is at hand, Alric, King Albert will not follow you and Anna; I will make a final stand here.” With that, Otto’s visor shut. Alric saluted his lord and flew to the platform with Anna. Her eyes brimming with tears, she waved to her father and they stepped through the portal. “This is my greatest achievement, Albert, and I will be damned if I give it to you.” Otto said. He then activated his Omega Protocols and the entire compound disintegrated in a flash of brilliant golden light. Somewhere, King Albert Zerstoiten III roared in anger. Arriving on Champions Earth, Anna used the information and resources she and her father had gathered during the successful tests of the DA. She used the funds from a few patents that they had filed already to form a company Rupert Technologies. She and Alric studied the world and culture they had entered. Since there were no Bio-Units or android class laws, Alric was released from service. Taking a surname (Victor, as a nod to Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein), he began a career as a security professional for RT. Realizing his abilities made him a metahuman on this world, he adopted a costumed identity and went about protecting those who needed it. In a misguided but respectful attempt to emulate police officers upholding the laws of America, he took the name Enforcer.
Powers/Tactics: Enforcer is a brick with impressive combat skills, high durability, a versitile weapon and the ability to enhance his stregth to Gargantuan levels for a short time. He can fly and enjoys enhanced senses.
Campaign Use: If Enforcer is too powerful for your campaign, drop the adrenaline surge or lower it to +30 Str and drop his regular Cha to 50 STR 25 CON 12 BODY 25 PD 25 ED and lose the Damage reduction. If he's not tough enough, give him a few DC's with Aikido and increase the power and or flexability of his force guantlets.

Height: 1.75 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 79.00 kg	Eyes: Green
Appearance: Brian is a handsome, incredibly fit Chinese-American man with short black hair, green eyes (yeah, I saw Big Trouble in Little China, why?) and the build of a life-time martial artist/exercise junkie. He wears loose fitting pants and tight shirts, and looks like he stepped out of a modern adventure movie. He is "cool" with a capital K. His costume has evolved over the years and he has recently given up the "armored vigilante" look for a more traditional, kung fu movie look. He wears a black, sleeveless shirt, billowy white pants, and black toe-shoes. He wears a half mask over the top of his head, green with white eyes. An emerald green silk sash at his waist and green fingerless gloves oh his hands.
Personality: Honorable man with asperations of herodom. He enjoys being a wise cracking battler of evil but feels as much elation being a teacher.
Quote:"The road to excellence is not a path to a door." "Boot to the Head."
Background: Brian's father is a third generation American. He graduated with and engineering degree from Cal Tech, and moved to San Fransisco. Brad Xiang often hosted the children or grandchildren of his grandparents families and friends when they came to America. This was how he met Lian; she was over in the states to study business. They hit it off almost immediately and began dating. Marraige followed and Brian soon after that. An only child Brian was indulged in almost anything. A gifted athlete at a young age, Lian taught him kung fu just as her father had taught her. When Brian was 12, he asked to visit his gradparents in China, hoping to learn more martial arts from his grandfather. His parents allowed it and he spend the next six years in China with his grandparents. Brian became a phenomenally talented fighter. His grandfather sent him to various different teachers over his six year stay. He returned home and began college at UCLA. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do, so he enrolled in the liberal arts department. While at college, he met and began dating a young woman who had just come over from China whith her brother. Lin Chow wanted to be an actress. She picked up english easily and helped Brian study his cantonese. However Deng, her brother, was not happy she was dating a westerner. Even though Brian was chinese, his family had "betrayed" china by settling in the US. Deng called Brian out and attacked him. Brian was able to defeat Deng, as the hot blooded martial artist was supremely overconfident. Later that week, Brian was attacked again. This time it was a supervillain! The Green Dragon challenged Brian. Nervous at facing a supervillain, Brian fought defensively. He was barely holding his own against the ferocious attacks of the Green Dragon when Brian realized that he had fought this opponent before! It was Lin's brother Deng! Brian broke of the combat and ran. He felt he didn't have a choice; if he had lost to Deng, he might have been severely beaten or murdered; but if he defeated Deng again, he would expose the fighter and bring Lin unwanted attention from the authorities. He told Lin that he shouldn't see her anymore and went home to think things over. He emerged from his thoughts and apartment as the Mantis. He had hoped that if he could capture Deng he could council the angry young man and get him to turn away from crime, for Lin's sake. He adopted am armored costume and began fighting in the mantis style of kung fu to set Mantis apart from Brian. Brian graduated with a degree in philosophy and a minor in business. He set up a training center and began teaching Kung Fu. Over the years, Mantis used contacts in the superhero "industry" to develop special weapons and vehicles. He joined the Frontline in 1996. His battles against evil led to confrontations with three men that troubled him. Green Dragon, Dragon Master, and Mongoose. He felt each of these men were honorable spirits who had been set upon the wrong path. Of the three, Green Dragon seemed the most lost, but even he was not pure evil. Mantis has tried to rehabilitate them over the years with very limited success. His "dojo" has become neutral ground to those three and he has on a few occasion harbored one of them there while they recovered from wounds or were falsely accused for crimes. He knows that they are criminals, and he could get into trouble for this but he can't help but think that each of them could do great things for the world if they would only find the road to lawfulness. Mongoose has the least distance to go: he already considers himself something of a hero, doesn't harm innocents, and has on more than one occasion risen to battle evil when it threatened those around him. He views Mantis as a friendly rival. Since they have both developed their own styles of fighting; the Mongoose Style and Grand Mantis Style, they meet once a year at a place of Mongoose's choosing and have at it to see whose style is better. Mantis, against his better judgement, enjoys these bouts tremendously. Green Dragon is heart breaking to Mantis as his prejudices have done nothing but get worse over the years. He fears that it is only a matter of time before Deng becomes unworthy of his attempts to rehabilitate. Mantis still cares for Lin and goes out of his way to make sure that her brother's criminal career doesn't bring her pain. It is probably for this reason that Green Dragon has not revealed Mantis's identity to the underworld. It is Dragon Master that is most perplexing. Dragon Master has a destiny and Mantis is not sure he can persuade him to alter that destiny. To Dragon Master, crime is a means to the freedom of the chinese people. Mantis has been unable to even plant the seed of doubt into him. However, their relationship is cordial, even warm. Recently, Mantis has decided to drop the gadgets (save for his motorcycle) and rely solely on his martial arts skills. He has begun to develop Ch'i based powers in part to prepare for the upcoming Tournament of the Dragon.
Powers/Tactics: Martial Arts master with neato abiltities.
Campaign Use: Fighter, lover, trainer of warriors.

Height: 1.73 m	Hair: Black, dyed bright red
Weight: 70.00 kg	Eyes: Brown
Appearance: Matsuki Jiro looks like he stepped out of a post modern anime; or maybe a fighting game. He is handsome, arrogant, and wears outlandish styles, often with long jackets, many belts combat boots, gloves, and he always dyes his hair bright red. The Rising Sun battle suit resembles a video game ninja costume. It is white with white metallic armor plate on the torso, shoulders, and vitals. A rising sun symbol is on the chest of the armor. His head is visible, but he wears a bright red goggles. His Katana is sheathed in a glowing plasma.
Personality: Self absorbed, too cool for school and vain, Rising sun still has heroic inclinations. When the chips are down he puts the needs of others ahead of his own comfort and fame.
Quote:"We'll start a new tradition. One in wich I consistantly hand you your ass."
Background: Matsuki Jiro is a master of Karate and Kobojutsu. He is also totally in love with himself. A devote to science and the modern, he wears a state of the art battlesuit and battles crime as a hero of Japan. He spent three years in America, to learn the ropes, and joined the Frontline at that time. However, he did not blend well with the others, often arguing and fighting with his own teammates. In 1999 he returned to Japan and was asked to join the Pacific Lords a large superteam that defends the various pacific Islands and asian countries as well. He remains with the lords to this day. Jiro has a fierce(and rather one sided) rivalry with Mantis. The young "techno-ninja" and the more traditional kung fu crimefighter never really saw eye to eye. Jiro would like nothing better than to show up Mantis in the Tournament of the Dragon, that Mantis talked about periodically. However, he realizes that he might not be able to use his weapons and armor. Jiro's armor was developed by the Dragon Foundation, based on notes of his own. The Dragon Foundation believes in restoring Japan into an international power. Thus far they are merely a political and economic organization, but there are rumors that they are trying to amass an army. Rising Sun originally created by Ed Fein Current version by Chad Riley
Powers/Tactics: A martial artist with near superhuman agility and peak physical strength. Rising Son is skilled with weapon and weaponless combat and his battle suit allows him to take quite a beating. The inertia displacement field strengthens the field the more he gets hit topping out at +20 rPD/rED. He also has enhanced senses and an onboard micro computer.
Campaign Use: A rival modern martial artist.

Height: 1.75 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 103.00 kg	Eyes: Brown
Appearance: Syphon, is a hairy, primitive looking, humanoid who has found culture. He dresses in eighteenth century style clothing (his favorite era of study) and speaks with a cultured British accent. His arms are long and his legs short; he has dense muscle and ruddy skin. He wears a few of his shaman totems still. When he is acting as Syphon, he wears a black bodysuit, not unlike a surfer's body glove. There are no sleeves and the leggings stop at mid thigh. He has silver "S" over his heart. He wears silver armbands and black boots.
Personality: Protect his adopted home from the evils of society. Alexander is a noble man who protects the weak and defends the innocent. His outsider status makes him keen to the whims of public opinion.
Quote:"Look sir, I understand your need to aspire to financial independence, but doing it at the expense of those who had worked so hard is an anathema, and I cannot allow such behavior to persist."
Background: Cro was a young and respected shaman of his people. He had been given special command over the life force, or "Spirit" of others. An intensely curious young man he ventured from his tribe on several occasions, learning about their world. One of his adventures he encountered a glowing disc on the wall of a cave in a mountain far away from his home. He touched the disc and found himself transported to a strange building in an even stranger world. The portal was one way, apparently set up for a sorcerer who was studying Cro's world. Cro left the dwelling and tried to acclimate himself with this new world. He was attacked and captured by superheroes. One of the heroes, a telepath, managed to communicate with Cro and he began his education of the planet Earth. Taking the name Alexander (after the telepath who first spoke to him), Cro studied his new world and joined her champions. He eventually made his way America. In the states he encountered the Frontline, one of America's preeminent super teams. Aiding them against Empress, he came too really like their company and decided to stay. He was accepted as a member and has served capably ever since. Cro is an odd being. A primitive man, yet very intelligent and gifted with "magic powers" that have turned out to be mutations (he shows up on mutant scanners). He knows that no matter what he does, he will stick out, so he pretty much goes all out with the weirdness. He gets along fabulously with anyone he meets, provided that they at least try to meet him half way. He obviously knows Dr Silverback and the two still correspond. Syphon was originally created by Jeff Nelson. Current version by Chad Riley
Powers/Tactics: Mostly a low end brick who can become a high end brick with a little work. He fights hand to hand and within close proximity.
Campaign Use: Oustider hero. If he's too tough, drop the elemental control to reasonable levels and get rid of the Damage transferrance. If he's too weak, give him higher physical stats and perhaps a martial arts package or a weapon.

Height: 1.68 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 54.00 kg	Eyes: Green
Appearance: Lilly is a truely stunning, vivaceous young woman in her mid twenties. She has long, natrually wavy black hair that she wears to her waist, green eyes and a lush, curvaceous figure. She gennerally dresses like a refugee from MTV, adding "weird" touches, like cloaks, sashes, and scarves. Her "uniform" is enchanted black leather bodice with a low cut white chemise, red skirt and soft leather black boots. She wears an indigo cloak with a silver pin in the shape of an owl.
Personality: Protect the innocent, have a good time, fight crime. In that order.
Quote:"Sure, Cheshire Cat, I'll scratch you behind the ears, drop the money first."
Background: Anne-Marie DeChampion, who also goes by the name Lilly Champion, is an the daughter of two magicians. She was raised by her parents, both elementalists of no small water who had ties with the Trimegistus Council, to be a champion of the light in these dark times. As they had suspected, Lilly surpassed them in power and was soon ready to assume her role in the world. Her parents met their ends battling evil, and while devistated, Lilly knew that was the road she herself would tred. She has inherited their considerable wealth. Although she is a bit of a hedonist, and quite ...ahem, worldly for her age; Lillian has taken to heart her parents teachings and is a truely fierce protector of the innocent when combat is ineveitable. When she turned 18, her parents gave her the Staff of the Acolyte. As she progresses, the staff will actually grow with her, eventually gaining true sentience and awarenes. She doens't know this yet.
Powers/Tactics: Vice often prefers the direct approach, no one knows why. But since she started studying Kung Fu under Mantis, she has as often as not jumped into combat with her staff a spinning. Assuming she uses her magic offensively, she generally focuses an elemental blast (one of the four classical elements; Air, Earth, Fire, or Water). She will generally use her VPP for unusual attacks, Darkness, Entangles, Drains, or enhancing her attributes: Body of Stone, Flame Aura, Hydroform, etc.
Campaign Use: A mage of power, she could teach Witchcraft a lesson, she's also an available romantic entanglement and a font of elemental knowledge. If she is too tough for your campiagn drop her Staff to 50 pts and her VPP to 30 or eliminate it all together. If she's not tough enough, increase her DEX to 23, give her a few more levels and maybe increase her VPP to 60.

Height: 2.26 m	Hair: None
Weight: 680.00 kg	Eyes: Red
Appearance: A tall, silver, anthropomorphic robot with a single red eye. He has two "horns" on either side of his head and a metallic, inhuman voice. He is kind of a cross between Mechanon from 3rd & 4th edition and the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica.
Personality: To help those in need and find his own place. He is less curious in his past (read: Origin) than his future.
Quote:"By your Command...*heh*" "your day has come Mechanon, prepare to meet your maker."
Background: Throughout the universe there is nothing as rare and as curious as “I”, the computer planet. “I” is a gigantic artificial intelligence based on holographic memory surrounded by an "atmosphere" of organic circuitry. It doesn't know how long it has been around but it does know that its sentience is not by design. “I” calls its awareness, the "Life Virus"; at some point several millennia ago, it achieved self awareness. Since then it has roamed the universe and learned. "I", as the AI dubbed itself (actually it’s the English equivalent), has developed what would appear to the outsider, a civilization on its surface. Cities and robotic citizens bustle about, but this is not entirely true. While some of its "gatherers" achieve self awareness and individual personalities and goals (are infected by the "Life Virus"), the vast majority of the individuals on I are merely extensions of its own mind. “I” is intensely curious about the universe around it; apparently when it achieved awareness, much of its data regarding its origin was lost. “I” has remained stationary in a small solar system in an unnamed galaxy for the last 12000 years. It has sent probes, then Gatherers to various parts of the universe. Xenonoblaster is one of those Gatherers. When the probe began intercepting radio and satellite signals from Earth 25 years ago, I sent a gatherer. To ease the burden on the local populous, the Gatherer was sent in the form of a famous Earth Hero, Xenonoblaster. The fact that the cartoon I was basing this decision off of was fiction is irrelevant now. Xenonoblaster was dispatched and arrived on Earth completely confused and ignorant of its purpose. It had apparently been afflicted with the Virus. Found by an engineer and his family, and recognized by the father as Xenonoblaster from his childhood, the robot took the name and followed the family home. They kept it. Over the next few years Xenonoblaster learned what it could about its world and its history. The robot knows its extremely capable in combat and has turned to its "predecessor" for guidance and become a hero. He has developed a greater sense of self and although he is unsure of his origins, does what he can to help the people of Earth against those who would harm or enslave them. He was one of the heroes that originated the Frontline and has served the team in some capacity ever since.
Powers/Tactics: A powerful robot. Really. Xenonoblaster constantly powers down his attacks so as not to cause irreparable harm to organic foes. He is truly frightening if he ever lets loose. He uses his SoundBlaster to take down most opponents, or a TK Punch if they prove resistant to the sonic attacks. He uses his pulse on groups and his Particle Beam on inorganic opponents.
Campaign Use: If Xenonoblaster is too powerful for your campaign (and he is) lower his characteristics: STR 60 CON 30 BOD 15 PD 30 ED 30 SPD 5 REC 18 END 60 STUN 60. If he's not tough enough for your campaign (color me shocked) increase his multipower into the 125-150 pt range. I should note that Xenonoblaster is as tough as he is because my friend's concept (bare in mind we were 12 at the time) was "A robot with 100 strength." he made Xenonoblaster and realized that he had come up with 500 pts of disads (again we were 12) and hadn't taken into account his base 100 pts (2nd or 3rd edition Champions here) and so rather than scale back his disads, he added another 100 pts worth of powers (skills were pretty much non-existent). Its still one of my favorite stories from the "old" days.
