Is That Arubatorusu or Sensei?

Going back to the source...



The illustration you see is one of many drawn by Jonny McNair back in 1985 for the superhero fanzine called Superhero UK.

This was Jonny's rendition of a supervillain called Sensei who was one of the characters in Simon Burley's 'Megavillains' supplement - the Golden Heroes book that Games Workshop stopped supporting.

But Jonny was the guy who played Arubatorosu in The Paragons of Virtue role-playing games we played back then.  That's why you'll see an albatross symbol on the martial artist's chest.

I've managed to dig out the original character sheets, illustrations and even a short lived comic strip that featured the Paragons in their original form.  Keep your eyes peeled and let me know if you like seeing this original source material...
