Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

[jackalope]

I'm trying to put together a team of Super Spies. Sort of Black Ops Super Team, but not assassins or bad guys in any sense. Just quiet, and stealthy, and not in the public eye.

 

I'm starting from a base of two characters: Blink Dog - the teleporter/martial artist from my campaign; and Trasformi - a Mystique clone. I want a six person roster.

 

So I have this;

Infilitration/Retrevial Expert (Blink Dog - Russian - Mutant - Former Russian Mafia Thief)

Social Engineering/Subterfuge Expert (Trasformi - Italian - Mutant - Former Con Artist)

 

I'm thinking this group should be international, possibly all mutant, possibly all with non-violent criminal backgrounds.

 

How should I fill out this roster? I know I need a combat expert or two, and Wolverine seems a natural choice to clone, but I'm sure you see why I'm loathe to do it. And I need a mentalist - possibly the team leader, or is that too obvious?

 

But what else? Any suggestions?

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

You already have a MA.

The combat specialist should thus be a weaponsmaster; perhaps a gadgeteer type. This is also a good choice for team leader.

An Illusionist is always useful for this kind of team. (All of the above together is a fairly logical combination)

 

A Cyberpath (perhaps also the Telepath) goes a long way; knowledge is power.

 

Telekinetic, or similiar, abilities can help a lot. This could also be a good place to put the combat effectiveness.

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

In a world where magic is real, a good spy team needs an Occultist; that character will also be a good dumping ground for all of the extra language and history skills. Since you're thinking on X-Men lines, an Illyana Rasputin type Telleporter and Dimenion traveller Occultist might fit well.

 

A forger comes in very handy for a spy team, and that character makes a good gadgeteer as well. If you want him/her to be a Mutant, the afinity for technology can be the mutation.

 

One pure brick is also always a plus. For a Spy Team, the Stealthy Brick (MP includes Compound Power: DI+Extra Str+Force Field in Slot 1, Compound Power: Desolid+ Invisibility in Slot 2) always works; Blackstar can be your base, tweaked to fit.

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

Well the obvious thing every spy team needs that no ones mentioned is a driver/pilot some one able to drive just about anything to get them into the target zone and out again. How about a stunt man great driver and pilot good in a fight some acting skills and knowledgeable about how to set up a con,

 

You could also make him the team brick either do the doom patrol robot man thing and have him horribly injured and given a cyborg body (also gives you your cyberpath perhaps) or have him just be invulnerable in a Luke Cage kind of way bullet proof skin and regeneration perhaps.

 

Some other ideas

Dr john smith OSS

England’s premier occultist secret agent during WW1&2 sworn nemesis of the Thule society trapped in a mystical artifact in his final battle with a nazi mystic in the closing days of the war now he is re awakened still battling occult forces. An elder statesman riding herd on the new generation (something strange happened to him in the final battle and he is hiding a dark secret)

 

L337

Teen hacker beyond compare even before his mutation activated now he can literally talk to machines and see radio waves, he sleep walks cannibalizing junk technology to builds strange devices he sees in dreams. Really obnoxious and cocky

 

Blood Rose.

 

A Romany (gypsy) girl blessed with precognition her whole family was killed by a neo-nazi firebomb.

She escaped but was seriously injured by the flames while she was recovering in hospital she vowed revenge.

When she had recovered she began traveling the world and learning a range of martial arts especially knife based arts. She has a short-range precognitive ability that allows her to perceive and react top her opponent’s moves even before they make them.

 

Still a beautiful woman despite the extensive scaring down her left side in combat she tends to wear black leather that shows off the damage and the intricate tattoo across her right side a twisting mass of black thorn covered branches ending in blood red roses each of the blood red roses that form it is a member of the neo-nazi gang that she has hunted down and maimed. There are eleven roses and space for 2 more the final one will go right over her heart.

Thanks for the great ideas guys, some of these will definetely get used.

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

The Mask of Justice or Argus' "sees all" power suite is a useful tool for spies and counterespionage types. Add a really high Cryptography roll, Speed Reading and Eidetic Memory for the fellow who can read the secret documents inside the safe just by staring at it for a minute.

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

Actually i was thinking of a gadgeteer with a lot of equipment built for spying on the enemy. Like using maybe the bug-sized drone who flys in a relays info with super-small camera. An archer might not be bad either. Or some such infiltrator who is a master of killing silently. Perhaps a guy who kills with wire?

A super-tracker could be useful. With plenty of mutant enhanced senses.

[Badger]

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

I'd also go with character with multiple abilities. Ex. the super-tracker is also a master at killing silently with knives, bow-arrow, and piano wire, etc.

[Badger]

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

Curious, freakboy, is L337 supposed to be a Cyberpath (description seems to imply that IMO).

 

Anyway, for my contribution:

 

Dodge: Tommy Dodge was a former stunt man, stunt driver and pilot in Hollywood. He was always in demand, as he had a seemingly highly reselient body that never got hurt, and boundless amount of energy. Until one day an exploding buiding prematurely detonated just seconds before the scene was to be shot. Unfortunately Tommy was near, fortunately his legendary resilency shown through as he manage to duck for cover just before the explosion.

Note: Anyway basically his senses were what saved him. His vision, hearing and sense of smell basically to be exact had mutated. He was a mutant after all (how do you think he had a superstong body?) Now he has the vision of an eagle, sense of smell of a bloodhound, and hearing of a bat.

 

These new enhanced senses obviusly made living in the bustle of Hollywood a bit tramatic. He decided to leave and return home where his mother lived in the NW. His maternal granfather, the local healer at the reservation, helped teach him how to keep control of his new found powers. He decided to stay and live in the wilderness, he became an expert at tracking, thanks to his senses, and what he learned as a boy tracking game when on hunts. Though he did withdraw from using rifles (too noisy). He became a masterful archer, and a premiere expert knife thrower. Eventually he was drawn back by another member of the group to join up. Yadda. Note: He would have some of the talents of a super-tracker, archer, knife wielder, combat driver and pilot and possibly some brick ability. More a jack of all trades to make it simple.

 

In any case, I tried doing this on short notice, I dont particularly like doing the stereotypical Native American thing (and also why I didnt give him a superhero name). But it would seem to fit I guess.

Background sometimes arent a strong point for me.

[jackalope]

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy TeamThe need for an Occultist made sense to me, and I wanted him to be a mutant, and be somewhat useful in a fight, so I came up with this guy. I hate the name, but was stuck for anything else. He'd go by his real name more often than not anyway, since he doesn't bother with a costume. He's equal parts Spider Jersulem, Dennis Quaid's character from Dreamscape, and First Level Mage.Suggestions/comments appreciated.Mister MorpheusPlayer: NPC Occultist

Height: 5' 10"	Hair: Bald
Weight: 162 lbs	Eyes: Green

Appearance: Israel is a white male in good athletic condition. He is bald (shaved), and has many tattoos and piercings. He wears a long black trenchcoat, a clearly visible bulletproof vest, and carries two pearl handled .45 automags.Personality: Israel is a mutant, but he really tries to downplay that fact. His power - the ability to enter into a dream trace from which he can affect the dreams of others - is secondary to his self identity. He is, first and foremost, an occultist. He sees himself as a fearless explorer of the outer limits of human awareness. His primary motivation is to learn more about the occult and the paranormal. He writes books and articles to support himself, without much luck.

 

Israel has spent enough time poking through people's deepest darkest dreams that he has come to really loathe humanity on a fundamental level. He is an extremely cynical and jaded man, but he has a heart of gold buried under his tough, rude exterior. he can't stand to see the innocent suffer, and will always try to help out those in need.

Quote:"In dreams I walk with you. In dreams I talk to you. In dreams you're mine - all of the time. We're together in dreams. In dreams." (sung softly and menacingly as he administers the dream induction serum)Background: Israel Bailey was born to a normal, if somewhat left-leaning, working class family in London around 1968. He began manifesting his powers at a young age, but was not recognized as a mutant until he was an adult. Believing his powers to be paranormal in origin, Israel developed an intense interest in the occult.

 

He became involved with the punk scene, and radical politics, but mostly he was obsessed with occultism. He studied journalism and language arts in college, gained some mastery of several languages, and doggedly pursued knowledge of the occult aroudn the world. he has written several books - best sellers in the genre, though that means relatively little - on topics as wide ranging as the Prague Alchemist to Demonolists of the 16th century.

 

Over the years, his pursuits brought him into conflict with DEMON several times, and he has written a few exposes of their activities. After one narrow escape from death at DEMON's hands, Israel took to carrying a pair of guns at all times, and a bulletproof vest.

Powers/Tactics: Israel prefers to talk his way through bad situations, and hates violent confrontation. That doesn't mean he can't fight - he woudl just rather not. But considering his temperment, it's not surprising that he has gotten into scuffles with others. That's why he carries two .45 automags, which he is quite proficient with.

 

Israel is a mutant, and has the ability to enter into a dream trance (in which can sense the minds of others, but not any physical objects). From this dream trance he can seek out other dreamers and enter into their dreams. While there he can control the nature of the dream, implant suggestions, and uncover secrets. Any sleeping target can be affected - even if not currently dreaming, they are close enough that Israel can trigger the start of a dream.

 

Additionally, Israel has mastered some simple magical spells. He must study and memorize spells from his large colelction of spell books, but once memorized they can be cast repeatedly.

Yeah l337 is a cyber path I thought an even more obnoxious version of drummer from Planetary combined with forge or the guy from Ex machina. The dream thing is in part from the 1985 kids movie called Explorers staring Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix where a bunch of kids build a space ship from junk after dreaming the plans for its key systems.

 

So think obnoxious teenage kid armed with kludged together gizmos and the ability to make machines do his bidding

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

Mentalist idea.

Migrane, egyptian, raised in the chaos and noise of Cairo.

Powers untrained and barely controlled. Other mentalists experience headaches and nausea in his presence. And Migrane can focus that effect so it extends to non-mentalists. Other powers could be shareable mental defence which unfortuneatly gives the subject a headache. Minor Telepathy with the same side effect. And /Or images/mental Ill only to cloud vision to simulate the bizzare light effects and wandering blind spots that one gets when in the grip of a major migrane.

I see the migrane effect as an int drain linked to an ego attack. When you are in the grip of a migrane it becomed difficult to think and light or sound or any sensory input can become quite painful. The int drain sims this quite effectively. You also tend to become VERY tired hence the ego attack.

 

I know you are not too fond of drain attacks so i suppose mental illusions/mind control could be made to dupe the effects.

Re: Help Me Build A Super-Spy Team

 

I built my world's premiere spy team based on the off-handed comment on Fox Force Five from Pulp Fiction. They're all normal, with one semi-exception, but uber-skilled.

 

Jacqueline (Jackie) DeRay is sort of like Doc Savage but not quite that obscenely skilled. She's a master of languages and has immense contacts, perks, and favors. She also has mastery over most modes of transportation. She's the leader/brains of the outfit.

 

Sherrie Smith is a master knivesperson and their weaponsmith on the McGuyver sort of side. She's also an escape artist/contortionist type and their best infiltrator/sneaky person.

 

Tawana "Boom Boom" Brawley is their demolitions and special weapons woman. She's also their chief scientist.

 

Marie LeSabre is their seduction-oriented interrogation and information expert. She's also extremely well-connected. Remarkably gifted at social engineering/hacking.

 

Wendy Li is the world's greatest "human" martial artist and the only significantly mutated member (though she doesn't know it) of the group in that she's almost impossible to hit as her reflexes are Matrix-like.

 

I have the character roughs but no great write-ups like Enforcer84. They're a regular part of my campaign.
