Xtian Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: The Italian Connection And the Borgias! And maybe Dante really did go to Hell. This setting has real potential. Does the Vatican have a superhero team? Swiss Guard Man! Yes! I thinked about it for a long time. If we talk about evil we must believe in good and vice-versa. I think that Vatican's wall hide a few powerfull meta-human gruop and a strike elite force. The first ones are attached to all Great-Dimensional-Demonic enemies, like parademons or other dimension breaks. The other are "holy" spys which have the the job to investigate on misteries of religious type... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tribe Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: The Italian Connection And how about the 2nd world war? Thanks for the great ideas. I'll comment more next week when I get more time, but I just wanted to say that our last Dawnstars game involved a bit of time travel back to the Second World War and kind of touched on the Seven Martyrs who were executed by the Nazis. An NPC (who becomes something of a villain) was married to one of the men who were executed, and worked to help the heroes in the Past. I do have lots of questions which I'll hope to get up on this board in the next week. Love the names of organisations you've already mentioned. I've needed a secret police for a while, but have only used the two 'cousins' of law enforcement (and there has been rivalry between them, and bureacratic bumbling!).

Xtian Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: The Italian Connection I'm here for you. By this time I'm reading a full detailed hstorical book about 2nd wold war so if you need some informations... I'm prepared. I'm also organizing a real Hero resource home page for Italian fan with international information, but all is freeze now (we are waiting the Steve Long's Blessing). When the site is ready I tell you the URL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtian Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: The Italian Connection Opus Dei? Mmm... Really I don't know a lot about Opus Dei (only the few thing from the DaVinci Code ) but I remember that it's an American organization. Of course the previous Pope was a Opus member so... all and nothing. About Dante... Why not? In some Italian based settings Dante is still alive but in another dimension. It can be interesting a closed encounter with the "Sommo Poeta". Other thing: anyone of you had seen Mission Impossible: 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestnik Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: The Italian Connection For some reason I thought Opus Dei was founded by a Spaniard who was close to Franco. But I may be wrong. I have never seen MI3, or MI2 for that matter. Maybe Dante returned from Paradiso with - SUPER-POWERS! That would be cool. And with his sidekick Beatrice.

In MI3 movie a little bit of the action is placed in the Vaticano state. As many other american movie italian don't make a very good impression. if you will see it you must know that: 1. Italians don't move faster or shaking the hands while speaking; 2. Don't have strange names which sounds similar to pasta; 3. Italians drive good (or as good as any other civilizated culture); I think that Dante is something like a visionary with mental powers and huge PRE skills. Beatrice is a spirit-like being wich appear randomly with informations or trick to resolve... After all... she is dead. Dante could a sort of Dimensional Guardian, watching for angels or demons trenspassing (like Constantine movie...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, until Gorby time most anything that came from the West was supposed to be a "product of the decadent capitalist West." Western cities were supposed to be dystopias of massive poverty ruled over by a handful of evil fat capitalists (kind of like how Russian cities are portrayed in the West today! ). Which doesn't mean nothing got through -- Tootsie was a big hit in the USSR, as was ABBA. ABBA supposedly had a deal with the Soviet government whereby they would get their records distributed in exchange for cheap concerts, or something like that. Depeche Mode was also huge. The Beatles were on the state record label. I like the plural infernos idea. If you took Dante too literally the Roman gods and any other non-Christian supernatural whatevers would have to be demons in disguise, which isn't very comic book.

I thinked about it as a biological power aquired from dimensional work, as universal translator and mental powers. He was "manipulated" from some interdimensional force and had gain some inner powers. Dimensional technology is a magic-based form of focus. In some dimension is magic, in some other tech.

Xtian Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: The Italian Connection Well... I think that Dante is not a combat character. He probably prefer conversation and mental powers to escape from dangerous situations. If the story fall to a conflict then he can use gadgets (a personal Force Field or a desolidification that shake his body into different dimension randomly, for example).

Xtian Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: The Italian Connection About Paradise: If hell is a 999 layer dimension pack, its opposite is less schematic. A more order-based dimension with well defined hierarchies and a more "military" aspect. It could seems strange but as bible say there are "hierarchies of angels".
