Designers Notes: Digger is of average size, 5'10" and 150 lbs. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He is a reporter for Aces Magazine, and a more pushy, obnoxious "news-hound" you will never meet. His ace power is the ability to smell aces, detecting them by a sweet pleasant odor. This sense can also clue him into a person's emotional state allowing him to readily tell if someone is lying. He is not very well liked by most other aces and has made virtual enemies of a few (such as Carnifex, Peregrine, and Hiram Worchester).
Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: Probably the easiest way to port Digger over to your game is to switch his “Detect Ace” to “Detect [catalyst for supers in your world].” For example, he could detect an active metagene, or an active Gestalt, or detect mutants, or… well, you get the idea.
