Artist's Comments

EDIT: Added brief Bio for anyone interested.

Here is a sketch of Maverick noting all the important things about her and her costume.

Hope this is a helper to those who are drawing pics of her! :)

I guess I should say a few things about her for those who have no clue about her at all.

Her real name is Sukie Maverick, she's in her late 20s and lives with her Mum. She is a superhuman speedster with a penchant for sarcasm. For a weapon, uses a retractible metal bo-staff approx 6 foot in length when fully extended.

EDIT: Maverick's bio

OVERVIEW

Code Name: None. She’s known by her surname, Maverick.
Real Name: Sukie Maverick
Nicknames: Mav, Rico
Occupations: Mercenary. Formerly a hero/vigilante (depends on who you ask).
Legal Status: Unrevealed.
Identity: Publicly known.
Former Aliases: Caprice.
Place of birth: Kent, England.
Age: 28
Marital Status: Single.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Known Relatives: Hazel (Mother).
Group Affiliation: None. Formally part of a (yet unnamed) team.
Base of Operations: London, England. (Her Mother’s house).
First Appearance: Maverick - Little Black Book (August 2008)
Origin: Maverick was born with her powers, although they didn’t manifest until her mid teens.


PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES

Height: 5 foot 9 inches
Weight: 140lbs (10 stones)
Eyes: Lilac
Hair: Medium red/brown and kept short in a messy bob.
Distinguishing Marks: She has purple eyes.


POWERS AND ABILITIES

Strength Level: Excluding the superhuman strength Maverick possesses in her lower body as part of her running speed abilities, she possesses the normal human strength of a woman her age, height and build who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Maverick can run at speeds exceeding 150 mph. Because of this, her legs are incredibly strong but not overly muscular. This has its limits though as she cannot sustain a high velocity for more than approximately a five minute burst, therefore long distance travel by running is out of the question for her.
Her entire body is able to deal with the high speeds that she runs as her cardiovascular and respitory systems are much more efficient than any regular humans. Her metabolic rate and reaction time are also super fast in that she has free reign to eat whatever she likes and not gain weight and can dodge bullets and any weapons pulled on her when she concentrates.
She also has a high stamina rating in that she can train or dance for hours and not get tired, but she will become worn out if she runs too fast for too long and can pass out.
Abilities/Special Skills: Self taught in the use of staves and has no professional combat training. She is however, a very competant brawler. Coupled with her super speed, Mav can duke it out with the best of them.
Weapons Used: Maverick uses a retractable metal bo staff.


BIO

Personality: Maverick, dubbed as "the queen of sarcasm" and “high priestess of the runaway mouth”, is not an easy person to get along with. She has a really short fuse and gets frustrated quite easily. She has a tendency to mouth off to people she really shouldn’t which generally gets her into trouble.
Maverick prefers to get through her jobs with as little carnage as possible but generally people do get hurt and in extreme circumstances people can end up dead. Her “friend” Hatchet (also a mercenary for hire who has branched out into assassination on the side) doesn’t share Maverick’s “keeping people alive” thing and is more of a shoot them first, ask questions later kind of guy which can be a problem when they team up to take care of business. However, the more people Maverick leaves alive, the more of a rogues gallery she’s acquiring.
Personal Interests Very little, it would seem. Aside from vegetating in front of the tv watching crap sit-coms, she spends her free time training, hanging out in the pub and looking for work.
History: To be revealed in the pages of Maverick and “Friends” due to start August 2008 over at crankyoctopus.com.

:iconvalemeister:
Definately. Thanks for the :+fav:
:iconvalemeister:
LOL don't be daft ;) I did it mainly because people keep asking me what she's wearing on her feet when they're doing me sketches and stuff. But also because it's nice to have something to refer to for myself as well.
:iconpdink:

Goddamn Rogue headbands, I hate them so much! :shakefist: And YAY for no heels! Heels are evil, especially for superheroes, let alone those who run fast!
