[[Category:Character|Charles "Blackout" Nixon]]
A character for Pinnacle Entertainment's Brave New World. Character created by g026r.
Campaign
Charles Nixon was actually written for an ongoing campaign that doesn't use the stock Brave New World setting. I've tried to adapt the character accordingly, but make no guarantees that it matches exactly.

Background
Charles Nelson is the owner of a semi-successful local financial business. Sure, he had some help from "friends" getting where he was, and sure they occasionally come around asking for favours, but he's got a comfortable life and it's going to stay that way (provided nobody looks too closely at the books). So imagine his surprise when he suddenly manifested powers— or rather, when he suddenly caused the sudden cessation of another delta's powers. (Though that blaster was asking for it; you can't expect to cause that sort of property damage without being held accountable for it.)
But with such new found powers comes new found opportunities. Somebody's got to keep all the rabble in line, and why else would he have manifested powers if that wasn't the reason? So pay attention, you mutts; because though Blackout won't kill you, he's not adverse to teaching you a lesson or two.
Notes
The character was, perhaps obviously perhaps not, somewhat visually inspired by the Green Hornet. So: muscle car, suit, and mask. The difference is no hat (and no bodyguard/chauffeur). Though really, while making the background description (fairly different from the actual game, where he's slightly more dapper aristocrat and a lot less vicious) it kind of ran away into a completely different direction.
