Tyler Demby has always been lucky. Back when he was a kid and enjoyed more than his share of tabletop roleplaying games, his first roll of the night was usually a 20. But his luck transcended mere games, translating into him finding stray cash just when he needed it, always getting to the bus stop just before the bus left, and, on a few occasions, avoiding an accident by standing in just he right place at the right time.
However, Tyler's luck ran out one day when his brother Dean was killed across town during a jewelry-store robbery that turned violent. The happy-go-lucky Tyler fell out of love with the world a little. He disappeared for three years. When he returned, it was in the public guise of Crimson Protector, a hero who helps people in difficult and dangerous situations.
In the Boundless setting, Crimson Protector is a member of the New York-based Society of Seven.
Motive: Protect the innocent
Environment: Anywhere criminal activity is high
Health: 30
Damage Inflicted: Moderate wound (5 points)
Armor: 1

Modifications: All defenses, acrobatics, attacks, and "calling on his luck" tasks as level 8
Combat: Crimson Protector isn't strong, fast, or invulnerable. However, he has refined his natural psychic luck into a super ability that is equal to most.
Real martial arts training combines with his luck so that when he attacks, an element of the environment usually intrudes in some fashionÑ maybe a runaway semi, a perfectly placed jab, or a coincidentally timed blow by another heroÑso that a probable miss instead hits. And what might be a glancing blow on his part instead staggers, blinds, or disorients a foe. The same is true when Crimson Protector attempts to evade enemy attacks.
More than that, he can call on his luck as his action to change the situation in his favor. For instance, if facing a superfast or invisible villain, a successful use of this ability might cause the fast foe to stumble, the invisible foe to be splattered with paint from a dislodged paint can, and so on.
Crimson Protector can call on his luck in this way no more than once each minute.
Interaction: Crimson Protector is quiet, contemplative, and not especially excitable. However, he is usually open to hearing out those who want his help.
Use: Crimson Protector shows up, wondering if the characters can help him nail down a lead having to do with his murdered brother.
GM Intrusion: When the character should have hit with their melee or ranged attack, they stumble and strike something or someone they didn't intend.
