She could be Angolan, Haitian or New Caledonian. Or Vietnamese. (Come to that, I like Vietnamese. Good reason for her to have other languages and not perhaps what would be expected by someone being pursued by a P.I.) If you want her "closer to home" (so to speak, as most of us are United States people), why not make her Qubecian (French Canada)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. R Posted February 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 So I started stating the members. This is going to take some time. Quick summary so far: Angel: Fernando Riley (Spanish mother, Irish father) Aeronautical engineer for Until. Developed a flight suit. Has Basic agent training, Tech and PFU training. Belle: Need Female Vietnamese name. Very (int 25) smart. And very curious. Interested in criminology, so took classes/ trained herself. Went into Until for the challenge. Basic Agent and C&S! And wow, skill monkeys are expensive. Caterwaul: Country of origin? Basically like Banzai from the old Villains International. Lots of Martial arts and a Scream based MP Delta of Venus: Country of origin? Seems like a one trick pony, but actually ramped out. Emotion control MP with MC, Mental Entangle, Ego Attack. I figure undercover as an Emotion Controller (LOVE) would be great in a seductive / persuasive set. SO any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Delta of Venus sounds vaguely Greek to me. Angelina Metsiopis as a name? For Belle, Mai Nguyen? Caterwaul - I might suggest going against type and making them Scots. Mr. R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Please bear in mind that Caterwaul's sonic scream is not his only superpower. He possesses a cat's strength and agility (able to leap five times his height and walk on a ledge no bigger than half an inch), a cat's visual acuity (able to see in the dark), a cat's hearing and sense of smell, and a cat's speed and reflexes. Thankfully he does not possess a cat's need to sleep for most of the day, nor does he have an intense craving for lasagna. As for his nationality, perhaps he could be a Canadian of Scots descent. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Delta of Venus is a book of eroticism in real life. As the person responsible for making the suggestion in the first place I should make that clear from the start. She should be from a country that is renowned for lush rather than demure women. Italy and Span are particular good choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I see Eleanor as English, or prehaps South Africa. Note: she doesn't necessarily need to be caucasian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Update: Changed Caterwaul so he was more cat like, added the enhanced senses and stats. Made him Canadian of Scottish origin (Probably from Nova Scotia) Delta of Venus made more of a seductrice (Skill persuasion, seduction, inter). Added to Pre. Gave her skills in the Espionage section. MP with an Emotion MC, Mental Ent and Ego Attack (It's PURE BLISS) Elinor- I am thinking Black South African. Str 60, defenses about 25 (15 resist) Dam red., Regen. Basically your classic Brick! Freefire- Lots of Running, MP with EB Line (only along run path -1/2?) and a regular EB. Any other suggestions? Also country of Origin? Gunslinger- I am thinking of doing a CoH treatment with TP and pistols with variable loads (EB, Flash, RKA, 2X KB, Ent) Hellstorm- I am thinking a Human torch type as the team can use another flyer!

Quackhell Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Freefire could be Tomás Santos from Portugal. Mr. R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. R Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Well my HD has gone.... strange. It allows me to make a PC and save it, and open recent. BUT if I want to open older, well we have a problem. So until I get a fix on this I am going to put this on hold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. R Posted February 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 As an alternative to giving you a whole Character sheet (which HD won't let me do right now) I propose that I give you a synopsis of the toons, how I see them and what powers / skills/ equipment and Disads I would give them. I'll start with Fernado O'Riley CN: Angel Spanish mother, Irish father (Speaks Spanish and English) Loved to fly, enamoured of flying without an aircraft.

Hugh Neilson Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I think, if I were trying for an international flavour, I'd tag each character's nationality before doing full w/u's, just to secure that international flavour.

Mr. R Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I am thinking that so: Angel Spanish - Irish Belle Vietnamese Caterwaul Canadian of Scot ancestery Delta India (Hindu) {it is the home of the Kama Sutra} Elinor South Africa Freefire Argentina Gunslinger Japanese Hellfire (?)

wcw43921 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Mr. Immediate is from Norway--specifically the town of Hammerfest, in the far north. Unable to tolerate the persistent cold weather, he wished fervently he could be in Hawaii, or someplace else warn and sunny. One day, he got his wish--and found himself on a warm, sunny beach. Soon he was visiting places all over the world--and then UNTIL found him and recruited him for the Alphabet Squad. As he had always been a good person with no desire to break the law in a major way, he agreed. Hope that helps. Mr. R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfire maybe Mexico (Volcanos) I am thinking a very classic fire blaster (Human Torch / JLA Fire) type.

Mr. R Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 So I am almost ready to start posting my Interpretations. Be advised that the points for some are going to be pretty high for agent types, because, as Mr. Bennie put it, uber menchs are expensive. Lots of skills means lots of points. Also all are trained agent or received agent training after the fact. Until KS package (13 pts), PS Until Agent (3 pts), Fringe Benefits (8 pts), and basic MA (15-18 pts) all total 39 pts minimum. Then I add to that. Please feel free to correct me or give advice. Constructive criticism welcome and appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I am going to start posting my versions of the Alphabet Squad on my thread called My Conversions (link): As always, constructive criticism welcome and appreciated!
