La Campeona (27 Dice)

• You are a successful multi-millionaire, using your business acumen to transform your family’s metal parts manufacturing company into a multinational conglomerate across Latin America.
• You gained your powers after being taken hostage by the supervillain El Mecanico Maldito (The Cursed Mechanic) and being accidentally exposed to the energy output from a prototype vibra-drill that the villain had stolen from one of your companies and modified to drill into the vault of the National Bank of Chile. The strange energies modified your body, turning you into a mutate and giving you telekinetic powers.
• After teaming up with the superhero El Casco (Hard Hat) to defeat his archenemy and stop the bank robbery, you accepted his offer to join his superhero team.
• Calling yourself La Campeona (Champion), you view your public acts of heroism as an extension of your family tradition of philanthropy, using your wealth to fund your superhero team while continuing to support charitable causes across a range of worthy causes.

Traits: cautious, practical, opposed to killing.

Languages: Portuguese, Spanish.

Condor (27 Dice)

• You are the second Chilean hero to be Condor.
• The original Condor is your uncle: you discovered his secret identity by accident in your early teens, and worked to help him keep his identity secret from his enemies and his other loved ones. In return, he taught you how to maintain his armoured costume, to soar through the air on mechanical wings, and to fight criminals.
• When he believed you were ready, your uncle retired, and you took his place as Condor.
• Supremely confident in your abilities, you work closely with the police and with your teammates to fight crime and save innocent people from danger.

Traits: overconfident, brave, daring.

Languages: English, Spanish.

Jo-Tan (24 Dice)

• You are a Japanese Chilean: your grandfather emigrated from Japan to Chile in the late 1940s and married a Chilean woman.
• You travelled to Japan as an 18-year-old to study engineering and sumo. However, the rigors of intensive physical training revealed that you possessed superhuman strength, durability, and immobility. Subsequent genetic testing established that you were a mutant.
• Unable to compete fairly against others in sumo competition as you had hoped, after finishing university you returned to Chile to use both your engineering degree and genetic gifts for the good of society.
• Your superhero name means “Sturdy” in Japanese.

Traits: conscientious, steady, opposed to killing.

Languages: English, Japanese, Spanish.

Fantasma Negro (31 Dice)

• You began your career as a vigilante in the early 1980s, during the Pinochet regime, when you unexpectedly received a strange package from the United States containing an experimental multi-gun.
• Viewing the delivery as a providential gift from God, you became Fantasma Negro (Black Phantom) and fought back against the injustices perpetrated by the regime’s forces.
• You subsequently discovered the package had been sent to your address by accident when agents of Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM) tried to recover their “misplaced” technology, but you dealt with them as effectively as you handled Pinochet’s corrupt police investigators and anti-vigilante commando squads.
• Following Chile’s transition to democratic government in the late 1980s and early 1990s, you shifted your focus to protecting people from criminals instead of from the state.
• You have always kept your secrets close to your chest: your teammates only learned your secret identity as a business executive a little over two years’ ago, when you were critically injured by Los Asesinos (The Assassins) and comatose in hospital.
• Now in your mid-50s, you find yourself increasingly slowed down by your accumulated injuries and the passage of time.

Traits: cautious, determined, suspicious.
