The Goon Respect Thread

Respect The Goon, Defender of Lonely Street

The Goon is a brutish enforcer and serves as the devout protector of Lonely Street -- doing so alongside his childhood friend, Frankie. His origin is weird, wild, and wacky, the son of a deadbeat mob member, The Goon was left in the care of his aunt, a circus performer known as Kizzie the Iron Maiden. Growing up in her care he learned to fight and continued to train throughout his youth, gaining a positive reputation with the other performers. Eventually a ruthless mob boss known as Labrazio visited the circus and took a liking to The Goon; however, local authorities learned of Labrazio's location and chased him down, engaging in a shootout with the infamous criminal. It was during this shootout that his aunt was killed -- in a fit of rage The Goon killed Labrazio and stole what he had on his person, collecting debts from Labrazio's 'black book' under the guise that he was Labrazio's enforcer.

Eventually The Goon found himself at Lonely Street where he would settle down, defending the town and it's inhabitants from a slew of supernatural beings such as zombies, vampires, werewolves, and eldritch horrors.

At the core of his being The Goon is a brick -- a burly man who likes to punch first and ask questions later. He has a stupid level of strength for a 'normal' human and can take quite the beating too.

So -- let's give him our respect, shall we?

Conclusion

The Goon is a wacky street tier character who excels at solving problems with his fist -- a street tier brick if I've ever seen one. While his series is more comical than others, his feats are still decent for low/mid street settings, with his impressive strength and endurance as his two strongest attributes.

It was a fun thread to make and I enjoyed re-reading all of The Goon, a series I highly recommend if you're looking for comedic supernatural hi-jinks with some surprisingly strong character moments.

Good thread. I never heard of The Goon, which seems an interesting character.

Nice work

The MISC feat of the succubus has the wrong image in it. That's the one where he breaks Longfingers.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll fix that right away!
