Supreme Serpent Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: need a villain organization name For the now-defunct "Reimagined" game I ran, Hermit came up with: The Universal Liberation of Technologists and Researchers Oversight Network (U.L.T.R.O.N.) "An organization dedicated to the rule of scientists not overly encumbered by ethical constraints." Maybe something like "Oracle" to indicate they view themselves as forward-looking.

Lord Liaden Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: need a villain organization name One of the supplements for pre-Fourth Edition Champions made mention of the International Scientific Elite (ISE). That could be pronounced "ice" or "eyes", either of which would be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Yuck Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: need a villain organization name I've used a company I call Aegis Global Research Corp to fill in for high tech science-type bad guys. AGRC sells to anyone who has good money, has a pack of lawyers on retainer and has some real crooked corporate officers in their ranks as well as investors in the goverment, military, and police sectors. The heroes always know they are behind the waves of high tech crime, but can't seem to pin them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: need a villain organization name Magi: Multinational’s Association for Generating Innovation, to help define that name the Multinational comes from the fact that they operate with funding from numerous large corporations. Life AIM they have a legit front as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkham Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: need a villain organization name In my campaign, I use a group called FATE. ( Final Act of Terran Evolution ) They are a bioengineering organziation that works through numerous corporate fronts and is heavily involved in researching, developing, and storing metahuman genes. They honestly believe they are creating a better tomorrow by taking humanity to the next stage of evolution. I suppose a technological varient could use 'Free Agency for Technological Empowerment'. Building Tomorrow through super-science today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building Tomorrow through super-science today! This reminds me of a supervillain heavy metal rock band I use in my campaign. They call themselves NeXt Evolution and are all mutants. They spread a word of intolerance and arrogance because they believe they are homo sapiens superior and are the next step in human evolution. They have been banned from almost every major campaign city due to their penchant for starting riots against the "norms". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narratio Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: need a villain organization name My scientific super baddies all work for Integrated Technologies or IT. I always liked the playing the scene where the the good guys stumbled on thier dying informant, blood everywhere of course. "Who did this?" "IT did it! Beware... of... IT!" "Ummm, yeah, okay! Good safety point there..." The informant expires and the good guys were left wondering what person or shambling hulk of retched life they were chasing. It took them 7 weeks to figure out that the Integrated Technologies that some of them did consultant work for and IT were the same. Technologic Human Engineering Matrix - THEM Another outfit that specialised in cyborging criminals, mostly with biologic implants. "So larry, who did this?" "It was THEM!" "Okay... Them? Which them Larry? Larry? Larry? No good, he's dead!" Afterall, a GM has to have some fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
