Battle Club X: La Valquiria Enmascarada

La Valquiria Enmascarada

High Concept: Luchadora Internacional del Misterio! (International Luchadora of Mystery!) Trouble: “The luchadora does not don her mask to conceal her identity, but rather to reveal it.” Other Aspect: Monster Hunter

APPROACHES Careful +0 Clever +1 Flashy +2 Forceful +3 Quick +2 Sneaky +1

STUNTS Well-Connected: Because I am an International Luchadora of Mystery, once per game session I can find helpful contacts anywhere in the world.

Spear of Destiny: Because I am a mighty Valkyrie, I get a +2 when I Forcefully attack when (??) (The idea is that she uses a Spear or Diving Spear maneuver as her main finisher. I’m not sure what an appropriate “when” restrictor would be so that it’s not too broad or too narrow.)

STRESS OOO

CONSEQUENCES Mild (2): Moderate (4): Severe (6):

La Valquiria Enmascarada hails from Parts Unknown (but assumed to be Parts Unknown somewhere in Mexico). She is famous in Mexico not only as a top luchadora in the AALL promotion, but for her activities outside the ring. She regularly helps the Mexican authorities and Interpol against criminal organizations around the world. And it is whispered that she assists more secretive organizations around the world, from intelligence agencies to the Vatican, in combatting more bizarre threats.

She joined BCX not only for the professional opportunities, but also because she believes the nortéamericanos are far too complacent about the shadowy dangers posed by things like chupacabras, Draculas, and evil visitors from beyond the stars. (Whether any or all of such things truly exist in the campaign setting is somewhat irrelevant. La Valquiria strongly believes all such things exist.)

At 6’2” she towers over most opponents, and is best known for her formidable strength, but combines that with surprising agility and crowd-pleasing high-flying action in the ring.

She never, ever, removes her mask for another person. Her Valkyrie persona is a gimmick, and she doesn’t wear the costume, cape, helmet, spear, etc. in public. But for the mask, she dresses like a normal (but particularly fashionable and stylish) young woman. The mask does create complications, however, as a beautiful 6’2” luchadora tends to draw attention, and anonymity is not an option. Thus, her “secret” agent activities tend to be “Flashily show up in the areas where the evildoers are active, thus drawing them out to attack her.” (Then either capture her and take her to the enemy headquarters or drop clues. If they just left her alone it’s unclear whether she’d ever make much progress, but so far that hasn’t been a problem….)
