Hermit Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nest Leader Creation by Committee! What could go wrong? Scott Bennie's excellent VIPER work really showed us what Nest Leaders could be like in their motivations and such. And as I Hope, one day, to get back into gaming my local group in a setting that includes "The people of Campaign City" (See the link in my sig for that if you haven't already) I thought I better bring a VIPER nest leader into things after all. But I miss my days of Poll madness so... hence the nutty "Nest Leader by Committee" Idea. Please vote. While there are many many more options, I think I've got enough options to appease EDIT: And I should say the poll was settled well over a week ago so that's done and I've dropped the poll. But read on to see the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 The Best Masterminds are those who had potential but lost out due to their incompetence or greed, which they blame on society. They are driven to gain the power to take revenge, but are too cowardly to do their own dirty work. Ultimately they learn how to manipulate others to do their bidding, and are ultimately brought down by their overconfidence and paranoia.

Ninja-Bear Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I went with Greedy Grabber as that seems to be for me an easier way to justify VIPER being out and about and noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cowan Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 The Respectable Businessman with more then a bit of Ruthless Bastard, that would be my call on the leader. Lower end of upper class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opale Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I personally envision a mad scientist version of Anthony Hopkins ^^ Opale, seen herself quite well as a Viper Nest Leader btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 You should add in arrogant show off too! First option on the first question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 So far The Cunning Schemer has the lead with , The Mad Scientist , and The Respectable Businessman right behind for the first option. Female has a slight lead over male for the second. and British wars with Vanilla American Suburbanite turned to Villainy for the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'll always vote for mad scientist. And I like the vanilla suburbanite, because it's a reminder that sometimes people are just evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothere Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Cassandras description is a combination of the cunning schemer, cowardly commander, and vengeful viper. Tom also does a combo/ I've always thought you should follow the multiple route. I tend to build nest leaders with an a/b personality. A. Cunning Schemer I tend to pair with either B. mad scientist or greedy grabber A Cult classic is best served with B Cowardly Commander or Arrogant Showoff A. Respectable businessman goes best with B. Ruthless bastard or greedy grabber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrinku Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Elle Driver as a respectable businesswoman for me. We all know she survived Kill Bill 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think J.R. Ewing, Larry Hagman's legendary character from Dallas, would make a good Nest Leader, and said so in this post. Hence, I went with Ruthless Bastard, Male, and Country sounding. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Mama from Mama's Family. Well, she did let an innocent man get executed in in Georgia for a crime she committed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 As a mad scientist in real life, I object to the stereotype of mad scientists leading bands of incompetent goons. It would be far more appropriate to lead battalions of not quite fully functional robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Cult Classics, as defined by the amazing Scott Bennie are called that "... because he runs his Nest like a cult" Neo-Fascism, a cult of his own invincibility, etc can use. They often have themes ranging from takes on "The South Will Rise again" to "I am the prophet of the Serpent God" or what have you. They tend to be fanatics for their personal causes or visions, many are loons, and the VIPER higher ups watch them very carefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
