Silver Avenger Robert Webster, Fort Worth TX

Background Robert Anderson Webster was born in Morocco to an Air Force officer and his wife. Raised around the globe and always having to make frequent moves, Robert learned quickly that the best way to make friends and to fit in was to make people laugh. Over time, he perfected his technique to an art form.

He loved the attention he received from his funny-guy act, discovering in high school that it also helped get him girls. Fortunately for him, he also discovered a talent for his studies -- and discovered the joy of attention in receiving good grades.

Robert Webster's father retired when the Amarillo, TX base was closed, and his parents settled in Austin. He attended Texas A&M on a football scholarship and received a degree in civil engineering, all while seeing a steady stream of sorority girls. After graduation, bored by the thought of a job in an engineering firm, he decided to join the Air Force, to his father's enthusiastic approval.

Three years after receiving his commission, Robert was tested for Cyberline tolerance, along with all other officers. He was one of the five pecent who was compatible, and after thorough testing -- for personality and otherwise -- he was offered a place in the soon-to-be-formed Avenger Corps. He jumped at the chance.

Unfortunately, in the intervening years there have been few opportunities for Robert to distinguish himself. The powerful Texas oil interests lobbied hard for their state to have two PRIMUS bases -- on in Houston, one in Fort Worth -- but there simply isn't the same degree of paranormal crime in Texas that there is in California (the only other state with two PRIMUS bases). By and large, Robert has been bored. He assists local police more than the other Avengers, as it's a way for him to at least get out and use his skills. He also diverts himself in local society -- he and his new girlfriends always make the society pages.

Personality
It's hard to get to know the real Robert Webster, especially for women. He's always "on," always showing off and rarely lets his guard down. He's allowed a few people -- mostly his male friends -- get close enough to form lasting friendships, including fellow Silver Avenger St. Croix. And while he's always flirting with women, he's never had a lasting relationship. The women who are attracted to his brand of flattery and humor are the type of women who don't have much to offer -- and the women with whom he might want to form a lasting relationship are put off by his act.

Appearance
Robert is very handsome, and more than a little vain about it. His hair has started to thin on top and he immediately started using Minoxidil. He's tall -- 6'3 -- with blond hair and pale blue eyes.
