Complications:
Overcomer - Robert has overcome a great many phychological limitations in his life: Claustrophobia, Overconfidence and even a fear of death. He had to overcome them ALL the hard way.
Prejudice - Robert Nottingham is a ghost. Under his mask/costume, he still has the burn damage from his previous life, which can be traumatizing for the unprepared (+4 Intimidation, -4 Persuasion).
Vengeful - Robert Nottingham desires to inflict great bodily harm upon Ion Storm, wanting to go with the biblical standard of an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, arm for an arm and burns over more than half of his body. Likewise, he blames Strikeforce Officer Arden Davis Jacobs for his death, as he was the one who knocked him out before he died, not knowing about A.N.T.'s part in it.
Vulnerability - Ghosts and spirits have a peculiar weakness to salt. When laid in a fully-enclosed circle, salt can trap them. Likewise, if used as a power descriptor, it adds +2 damage to the attack.

 Black Arrow
Weakness - Weapons coated in ectoplasm are usable against ghosts, making them tangable to whatever is coated in it.

Black Arrow was created, designed by Doug Zeitlin and redesigned by Jim Caswell. He is an NPC.
