Background/History: Rio Del Janeiro's Shining towers draw the eye; her azure skies and waters lift the spirit. Forest covered mountains cradle the Marvelous City against the bay.

Her people live in glass palaces overlooking shanty towns, a few growing fat while many starve. Her air is filled with poison, her earth soaked with blood. The beauty of the marvelous city masks a cancer of the soul.

Franz Breheme's parents, of the elite yet not corrupt, urged him to fight for their city, their nation. "Push back," his father would say, "and with faith, a man can change the world."

In University Franz studied veterinary medicine, hoping to leave the filth of city life behind. He would become a modern gaucho, a cowboy. He would find peace in the real Brazil.

After University, Franz found ranchers destroying swaths of rain forest, farmers dumping unfiltered chemical waste into the waters, corrupt officials, and common people who cared not at all. Man was a cancer eating at the lungs of the world.

Franz pushed back. He joined progressively more radical environmental groups, he committed acts of ecotage, he sought to become a leader. Franz had faith.

A group of loggers caught him in their camp. They left him, beaten, bleeding, in the jungle. Franz should have died. Instead, he dreamed.
his dream, Franz wandered through a green cathedral, a great temple of living wood and vines. On an alter lay a rod of iron, a loop of golden rope, and a coat of green and red. Franz took his tools of office, and heard a voice, the voice of his new god.

Franz awoke, still holding his tools of office. He knew his destiny. He was Justice. He was Judgment.

A man with faith can change the world.

Personality/Motivation: Yemos is driven, seeing his battles as a last stand against the corruption of the world. The heroes who stand in defense of those who threaten the Earth are fools; the villains who willfully spread the cause of corruption beasts to be put down. He is a servant of the one true faith.

A cold, judgmental man, Franz does still feel human emotions. The Five are his family, his comrades, but his feelings towards Parvati are intensely romantic rather than fraternal. So far, his loyalty to the group and personal code of ethics have prevented him from openly admitting those feelings.

Quote: “It is time for judgment.”

Powers/Tactics: Yemos is gifted with a range of powers appropriate to the avatar of a god of death. He will generally use his desolidification, stealth, and aura sight to stay hidden inside of large structures or under ground until in position to move on a target. He will then strike from behind, catching the target in his loop of rope and attempting to draw out their spirit. If he succeeds, he will set the spirit free to sink or rise as is its destiny. Against targets immune to his loop of rope, he may take on his aspect of Earth and Sky and strike with his Iron Rod. Yemos may choose to personally pull the spirit of his target into a specific hell.

Yemos will flee if the battle goes against the five, using his ability to go into Irkalla to rescue as many of his team mates as he can.

Without his loop and rod, Franz may not assume the form of Yemos.

Campaign Use: A mix of the Vision, Yama and other gods of death, and Cowboy archetypes, Yemos should be a frightening opponent for most Supers. He provides his team mates with transportation and a quick escape route, as well as formidable combat support.

Within the Five, Yemos often acts as mediator and the voice of reason. His team mates value his council, but rarely follow it save in the case of inter-group conflicts.

Yemos is unaware that his grandfather served Yggdrasil and the Nazi party as the costumed super-soldier “Wuotan” in WWII before fleeing to Brazil.

Appearance: As Franz, a very large and well muscled blue eyed blond.

As Yemos, a red eyed, red skinned man in a long green coat and wide brimmed hat, holding a loop of rope in his left hand and a rod of iron in his right.

Fixed many spelling errors in Yemos.

On the suggestion of Satin Kitty, made explicit the romantic triangle between Bonyenne, Pravati, and Yemos.

[gojira]

Very nice.

Where does the image of the god of the dead as red skinned and in a green coat come from? That seems new to me.

(Just guessing, is the the Vision homage for your team?)

Hindu mythology; Yama is usually depited with Red or Green skin, holding an iron rod in his right hand and a loop of rope in his left. "Yemos" is a possible pronunciation of the name of the original Indo-European deity that may have been split into Yama, Odin, Pluto, etc.

And yup, he is the Vision homage.

I thought about making the Vision character a legacy villain, as my favorite version of the Vision was a sort of triple legacy (the 1940s Human Torch, Wonderman, and the 1940s Vision). Unfortunately, it didn't fit well into the overall back story of this villain group. Maybe next time.

Hmm, maybe if there were other people who were incarnations of the god of the dead before him, perhaps with slightly different power sets (faster flight, self-defense immolation field, etc.)

[OddHat]

Based on playtesting Yemos on Saturday, and feedback from this thread, I've made some changes. Mechanically, I've removed the paralyzing effect from the Loop of Rope and replaced it with a simpler Grab followed by a Transformation Attack. I've also re-aranged his other powers slightly.

From a story point of view, I put the legacy aspect back into the character.

Hoping to get The Great Goddess, the Thunder God, and the Sky God posted this week.

Background/History: “The Earth is dying!” The large man roared from the podium. His fellow scientists looked on in embarrassed but not entirely unsympathetic shock. “Dying! The Mathematics are inescapable! We are killing this world, burning her skies, raping her land, poisoning her waters! Our energy addiction will kill this world in less than a century!”

He had expected debate. He was prepared for outright mockery. The pained, dismissive silence of his audience was worse.
-----
“It’s all right, Seppo. They lack our vision.” The woman’s voice was kind, her hands gentle on the big man’s shoulders, and Ilmarinen took some comfort from her presence.

“They wouldn’t listen, Anna.” The big man’s voice was broken. “They think I’m a crackpot.”

Doctor Anna Fitzwilliam took the big man gently in her arms. “We’ll show them, my love,” she whispered, “we’ll complete the work, together. We will build a working hyper-tube generator. We’ll save the world.”
-----
“Doctor Ilmarinen?” The voice on the phone was young, female, professional. “I represent a private international think tank. One of our senior members was able to attend your presentation in Prague. We would be interested in speaking with you. There may be a position within our organization well suited to a man of your talents.”
-----
The laboratory, clean and modern, stank of burning human flesh. Dr. Seppo Ilmarinen looked on in horror as the man in red, the Morbane, again applied the shock rod to the corpse of Dr. Fitzwilliam. The corpse twitched. The Morbane turned to Seppo.

The man’s voice was painfully calm. “Doctor Ilmarinen, you have been given every opportunity to peacefully share your research. You have failed to do so. Your colleague has paid the price. You now have seventy-two hours to build for us a working hyper-tube generator. Should you fail, you will beg to join Dr. Fitzwilliams.”

After the man in red left, Seppo Ilmarinen held the body of his beloved in his arms, and wept.
-----
Ilmarinen dreamed. He was tumbling down a hyper-tube, falling through worlds and time. He saw the great tree, and he saw the dragon gnawing at the roots of the Earth. The Dragon, Ilmarinen knew, was Man.

Ilmarinen tumbled past the walls of a palace made from ice, tumbled into a great stone room, tumbled to the base of an ancient forge. Surrounded by tools the like of which he’d never seen, surrounded by artifacts he could barely comprehend, Ilmarinen heard a silent voice. Ilmarinen listened to the words of Yggdrasil.

*This is your forge, Seppo Ilmarinen, as it was the forge of your ancestor, your namesake.*

*These are your tools, Seppo Ilmarinen. These tools shaped the dome of the sky.*

*Build miracles for me.*
-----
Clad in armor forged in a dream, the man who had been Seppo Ilmarinen looked down at the rubble of the Demonhame that had been his prison. The Brass Hounds patrolled the wreckage, seeking any survivors, and a Chariot of Flame and Iron waited to carry the Doomsayer from this place.

Still, vengeance could never be enough. Anna would have told him that.

Someone had to save the world.

Personality/Motivation: Doctor Seppo Ilmarinen is a driven, broken man. Anna Fitzwilliam’s death pushed him to the edge of sanity. Ilmarinen’s vision of the world’s death, his vision of man as the Earth’s killer, pushed him over. He will do whatever it takes to save the Earth.

The Doomsayer regards the rest of the five as kindred souls, but in the end they too are expendable, as he is himself. Sometimes the roots of the World Tree must be watered with the blood of heroes.

Quote: “Fools! Can’t you see it? Mankind is the Dragon!”

Powers/Tactics: The Doomsayer can move into the extra-dimensional space that houses his forge, take as long as he needs to build a new device, and then re-emerge in our reality at the same point in time. To anyone not gifted with multidimensional senses, he appears to enter a trance-like state, vanish, and re-appear along with whatever objects and devices he sought.

The Doomsayer’s devices, his Crystal Spiders, Bronze Hounds, Golden Wife, and his other equipment, combine those lost arts men call alchemy or magic with cutting edge twenty-first century technology.

If caught unarmored, the Doomsayer will seek a chance to hide himself using his Cloak of Cobweb Silk and then call forth whatever weapons he thinks he needs. If he has time, the Doomsayer will only attack while riding in the Brass Man. More commonly, he will assign a group of his creations to attack while he retreats and tries to guess how to turn the situation to his advantage.

Note that Ilmarinen uses the Armor as Vehicle optional rule.

Ilmarinen’s many patents have made him rich, and he retains a mixed reputation in the scientific community as a brilliant lunatic. When not in his armor, he attends scientific conferences and even sometimes works as a university lecturer.

Campaign Use: The Doomsayer is far more potentially powerful than his point totals might indicate, and any GM would be able to reasonably demand that he pay for his Vehicles and Followers directly, especially his Brass Man Armor. That would make him a 500+ point character. Within the Five, the Doomsayer is the nominal leader, though he lacks the force of personality or social skill to truly dominate the group.

The character is a tribute to Iron Man, Doctor Doom, and Ilmarinen, the Finish folk hero and possible one time king of the gods.

Appearance: A large, bearded man with grey hair and pale blue eyes. Normally Ilmarinen will wear typical business suits, but in battle he will appear inside of his Brass Man armor.

We are the Children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

I'll see your reference..., and raise you this...


We are the Bears Shufflin' Crew Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you.

We're so bad we know we're good , Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.

We're just struttin' for fun, Struttin' our stuff for everyone.

We're not here to start not trouble.

We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

[Enforcer84]

So we have a multicultural mythology/Avengers team trying to save the world from itself?

I'm diggin it.
All kidding aside from the now edidted first post, these are great and scary antagonists!
These guys are 350 pts the way my characters are 600
We have Giantman, Vision, and Ironman it appears. Who will fill out the final spots of the five? ( I am asuming the blue ox does not count?)

Thanks, glad you like them.

They're actually from Indo-European Mythology. The (disputed) theory is that the gods worshipped by most of Europe as well as India shared common roots, that there was an "original" pantheon that eventually split into the Greek, Roman, Finnish, Norse, Hindu, etc. pantheons we know today. Another argument is that people just liked borrowing eachother's gods. From a Superhero Universe point of view, a force awakening human avatars of ancient gods has plenty of story potential.

As to the lineup, we have a Cultural Hero (Bonyenne, Giant Man), a God of the Underworld (Yemos, the Vision) and a Sky God (Doomsayer, Iron Man). I need an interesting Thunder God (not sure which myths I'll use in this slot, but he'll be the Thor parallel) and a Great Goddess (probably based on Parvati, the maiden form of the Hindu triple goddess of Parvati, Durga, Kali; her Avengers counterpart will be the Scarlet Witch).

I'll also be adding a few more robots and vehicles for the Doomsayer.

All feedback welcomed.

[Tribal]

Great Job

Hope we get to playtest against them somemore
(Oddhat is my GM for those unaware, and I am a Lucky man for it)

Keep up the good work
