Gnomon Chase
Gnomon Chase's Profile
A Gunslinger of Legend . . .
Gnomon Chase is a legend throughout the solar system. There is not much that is really known about Chase. In fact, many arguments have been fought over whether he is a man in body-armor, or if "he" is actually an advanced mech, since his faceplate looks typical of the Powell Corp variety of robots. But while this subject has been a source of debate, more argued has been the idea of whether he is a force for good or bad. Among those in higher authority who remember him, he was known as a vigilante; for the poor and oppressed he was known as a hero. So much time has passed since Gnomon Chase was last seen that many of the younger generation actually doubt that he existed at all, that he is nothing more than a tall tale used by parents to scare their children into obedience with the line, "Gnomon Chase knows if you've been bad or good!"
Inspiration from the comics . . .
The inspiration for Gnomon Chase is basically Batman of a futuristic past, with a little sprinkling of Clint Eastwood and a healthy dose of Trinity. And though he is introduced properly in Return to West World, if you're very careful, you might find him within the pages of West World.
