History

Oskar Jaeger was only 19 when he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks, but he had already played two seasons of professional basketball in his native Germany and expectations were high. Unfortunately, his rookie year was terrible, and he was about to be sent down to the D-leagues when Paragon attacked the city.

What no one knew is that, shortly after being drafted, Oskar was forced to admit he was posthuman. His speed, agility, and visual perception were no longer within the bounds of human ability. He was devastated, because he knew that as soon as he revealed his powers he would be forced out of the league. He sandbagged, playing below his talent, which got noticed by the coaches, and he was quickly benched. Oskar was sinking into deep depression, but found new purpose after the Fall.

Jaeger, now in his mid 20s, is one of the leaders of the Hawks. He was a skateboarder even before he began to play basketball, and his status as a player on the team (even if he was a rookie) earned him instant reverence. He no longer had to keep his posthuman powers a secret, and in fact could use them to help others. Oskar has had many opportunities to leave the ruins, but he thinks back to what his family would want him to do, and everything in his soul tells him to stay, that this is where he can do the most good.

Powers and Abilities

Jaeger's strength, speed, and agility are well above human limits. He also has preternatural night vision, and he heals from injuries much more quickly than his fellow Hawks.

Like the rest of the Hawks, Jaeger rides a skateboard. Riding a skateboard doesn't permit the rider to go any faster than their normal speed, but it does allow them to make a double move (running) without receiving a penalty die on their skill rolls and attack rolls. (Bulletproof Blues, Move Action, p. 174).
