Thanagar (their home planet) had this strictly classed society, that once upon a time was controlled by a Cthonic entity, but they discovered Nth-metal (which is a metal that has mysterious properties, including the ability to cut through magic, and yet cause magic-style wounds itself).
Hawkman has had a few incarnations (some decidedly more boring than others). I prefer Shayera Hull aka Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman as she ends up being more interesting in the long run despite often being written as tied to hawkman. Also she's totally an SnP character with ZERO CHANGES.
So Hawkgirl is literally a badass winged warrior from a sword-and-planet culture that wields a mace that destroys magic, and believes in no gods (fighting and slaying a good number). There's not much tweaking necessary.

Here's the Rogue (To be clear I'm using Shayera Hol from DCUs Justice League Unlimited for OBVIOUS AWESOME reasons)
ReplyDeleteShayera Hol (aka Hawkwoman)
All that is Named
Thanagar a faraway world that requires powerful travel magic, or Nth Metal Ships to reach. Shayera's home lost to her.
Nth Metal Arms - Weapons and armor made of Nth metal. Nearly unbreakable, deathly painful to anything not of this world.
Trick
Uparalleled. Shayera doesn't do glum. She does jovial, and furious.
Feats Heroic
Jovial - She spreads her wings and with a fierce cry takes to the sky.
Furious - Plumetting from the heavens like a bird of prey, Shayera strikes unerringly, and with no mercy.
[comic guy voice]Technically that's an eagleman, and is therefore incapable of being a hawkman.[/comic guy voice]
