Week 2 Replicant: Desert Eagle
Week02_rethunderbird

Better late than never...  Desert Eagle can tap into the power of her spirit animal at will, an ancient Thunderbird.  This Thunderbird only appears as a faint apparition, and gives her the powers of flight and the ability to send her guardian out for reconnaissance (both in the natural and spirit world).  While her physical strength is only average for an 8 year old girl, the force of a supernatural 50ft wingspan behind her and invisible thrashing talons in front can do lethal damage quite easily when channeled.  All for now, thanks!

Codename: =- Gold Eagle -=

Ahoy true believers!

Here's Gold Eagle, my replicant of Thunderbird! So I kept the bird theme, but instead of a Native American background, decided to create a Kazakh hero instead! You would not believe how hard it is to research Kazakhstan.

I found a cool children's book from 1969 at the library, and a lot of animals and such on Wikipedia. There's kind of deer native to that country, but having a hero mesmerized by headlights wouldn't do! There's a dog too, but it turns out everyone there hates that dog. Then I saw the golden eagle on a flag & ran with that. The kids' book had a lot of nifty hats, but I couldn't manage to pull that off. I did think the cool clunky boots would work well with the superhero thing though. I pulled the colors from the Kazakh flag & a naval flag, which turned out to be nearly identical to Thunderbird's colors. Since they used to be part of the Soviet Union, hammers & stars abound, and I couldn't resist a Thor-like hammer!

I'm looking forward to seeing other folk's versions! Let me know when you post 'em! :)
