Hmm kind of interested in this, maybe as Paul Bunyan if that would work. Not sure how this superhuman nWoD thing works, looking at that link and I don't see what the superhuman template actually grants, other than Power Level 1 and 150 xp. Also what is the max size for a character to still be relatively reasonable to pass among people, even if they quite stand out.

Hmm maybe a literary mishmash of all kinds of strong folk heroes/legends like Paul Bunyan, John Henry, and even Hercules. All these mythical larger than life strong men who accomplish crazy landscape changing actions.

The Big Man

The man is big, larger than life, massive even. He smiles at the locals, and gets slapped on the back by a number of them who refer to him as The Big Guy or The Big Man. Some a bit colder will nod to him and refer to him as Mr. Big. Those aren't his name, or rather names. For he has had many over the centuries, the millennia.

Before the birth of Christ he traveled Greece as Herakles, or Hercules if you prefer. Fighting mighty beasts of legend and fable, accomplishing impossible tasks of strength, and of course going mad. And of course partying quite well. In early American history he traveled across the North and into Canada felling trees and wrestling with his best friend Blue the Ox, deforesting huge swaths of land and inadvertently creating mountains and valleys as he played with Blue while he used the name Paul Bunyan. Later on he traveled through the South working on the railways, laying lines and digging through mountains, beating the newfangled steam engines with hammer in hand and the prisoner name John Henry.

There wasn't much he has done since, though he has worn quite a number of names before. If you have heard of a mighty man, bigger than any other, stronger than ten, one hundred or one thousand men and accomplishing mighty tasks that reshaped the world through main strength and rambunctious play then there is a good chance The Big Man was that man.

With a tendency to get in trouble, go crazy, get drunk, and cause massive property damage The Big Man has often been on the wrong side of the law. But when the Adversary appeared and started conquering Fables The Big Man turned to help. He fought off those he could, giving other Fables a chance to escape, but in the end he too retreated. Now he finds himself in Fabletown, and though he was not generally an authority figure the Sheriffs knew his sheer size and strength could intimidate some of the more violent Fables into behaving and following the rules of Fabletown. And The Big Man likes to be liked, and likes to be useful to the common people, and so though he is not a fan of authority figures he has taken up the mantle of a Sherrif of Fabletown to protect his fellow Fables.
