The Arc Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Vladimir Vladimir is the former bishop of Kitezh, a city in Russia that sank into the Volga River after the town was attacked by a horde of supernatural creatures. Vladimir represents the Russian Orthodox Church in Aqua Sanctus. However, the church doesn't recognize Vladimir due to the fact that Kitezh supposedly sank in the 13th century. Naturally Vladimir doesn't talk much about his past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arc Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Vigil the Vanquisher Vigil the Vanquisher is an ally of Aqua Sannctus in that she possibly the closest the group has to a super-hero. She has kept her true identity a secret from the group. However, there are times when Father Malcolm feels something supernatural about Vigil even though she's the staunchest ally an exorcist could have in a fight against supernatural enemies.

Major Tom 2009 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Raptor Force isn't the only enemy that the Shadow Emperor and his minions have to deal with. In his own dimension, his efforts to bring about the conquest of every living being that inhabits it are being opposed by a group of highly-unusual individuals known as the Regulators: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44142[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]44143[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]44144[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]44145[/ATTACH] The members of this group are: Dorothy, a young woman from Earth that has telepathically bonded with a "sanguinosaurus", a dinosaurian lifeform that resembles a Velociraptor from Earth's distant past -- only far larger and more intelligent than its Earthly counterpart; "Crow", a masked guerilla fighter who was engaging in hit-and-run raids against the Shadow Emperor's minions even before he met Dorothy. No one has ever seen him without his mask, not even his fellow Regulators; "Tin Ranger", who was once nothing more than an autonomous forestry robot -- until an accident- al upload of an experimental computer program resulted in his gaining sentience, as well as a con- science. Recognizing that the Shadow Emperor's goals were evil and could only result in slavery for countless beings, Tin Ranger (the name that he chose for himself) joined with Dorothy and Crow to fight against the would-be conqueror and his forces; Lord Aslan, the sole surviving member of his kingdom's royal family following the Shadow Emperor's successful conquest of his homeland. Like "Crow", he carried out several guerilla attacks against his enemy until meeting up with the three freedom fighters. Recognizing that they had common cause, he joined with them to form the Regulators. The Regulators are aided in their fight against the Shadow Emperor and his forces by Arianna, Princess of the Munkins in Exile, and those of her people -- both of her army and civilian population -- who were able to escape with her to the Outerrealms Zone, a place that is home to an interdimensional nexus that provides access to many worlds and universes, including that of Earth. Another ally -- even if he is a difficult one at times -- is a mysterious masked and robed sorceror who is known only as the Emerald Sage. The Regulators divide their time between guarding the OZ against the Shadow Emperor's attempts to invade it, and carrying out raids against his forces and bases, in order to force him to tie down more of his troops in protecting his territory against them. From time to time, they are aided by Raptor Force in this endeavor. The Regulators were originally created by The Arc; I simply did my own take on them and fleshed them out a little.

Major Tom 2009 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine The most stalwart allies of the Regulators (and of Raptor Force) are the elfin-like beings known as Munkins: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44147[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]44148[/ATTACH] Although they are short in stature (the tallest Munkin only stands about 4'6"), Munkins can be every bit as courageous in the face of the enemy as any human being, even if that enemy is several times their size. With their golden skin, orange-red hair, and luminescent green-on- black eyes, the Munkins are the most recognizable race in their dimension, and are universally trusted by the majority of the races native to that dimension. Until the rise of the Shadow Emperor, the Munkins were a peaceful people, one that had no need for war or even an army to defend themselves. After the first conquests of the Shadow Emperor, however, they saw the writing on the wall, and immediately set about the task of raising and training an army with which to defend their kingdom. Less than one Earth year later, the Shadow Emperor's forces attacked the Munkin kingdom and were repelled by the kingdom's defenders. Three more attacks followed in rapid succession; on the third attack, the emeny was successful in breaching the defenses. While a small group of volunteers remained behind to delay the enemy, Princess Arianna and 12,000 of her people -- 4,000 of whom were soldiers -- escaped to the OZ, where they were given refuge by the Emerald Sage, and where they have remained to this day. The picture above shows both Princess Arianna and a group of her Royal Guardsmen. The Munkin Rebels were originally created by The Arc, and reimagined by me. Major Tom 2009 Minus 97 and counting...

Major Tom 2009 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine One of the most powerful beings in the home dimension of the Shadow Emperor is the sorceror known only as the Emerald Sage: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44149[/ATTACH] The sole inhabitant of the OZ prior to giving Princess Arianna and the Munkin refugees sanctuary within it, the Emerald Sage has since turned his power to the task of defending the interdimens- ional nexus from the Shadow Emperor's efforts to take it -- and the OZ -- for his own evil purp- oses. The arrival of the Regulators in the OZ has greatly aided his efforts in that regard, for many of the spells that he uses to protect the OZ require certain material components which he can no longer leave the OZ in order to collect. The Regulators don't really mind doing this necessary collection work, even if they do regard the sorceror as a "crotchety old coot" (an image that he has carefully cultivated over the years, and which provides him with a certain amount of amuse- ment).

Major Tom 2009 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Among the servitor races that make up the Shadow Emperor's forces are a race of winged primates, who are known throughout the dimension as Demon-Apes: [ATTACH=CONFIG]44173[/ATTACH] These horned, magenta-furred beings serve as slavers to the Shadow Emperor, using their power of winged flight to silently raid unsuspecting villages or isolated homesteads, taking only the most healthy (and, in the case of female captives, most beautiful) of their inhabitants. While they don't set out to kill anyone during these raids, casualties among their victims -- especially where the family members of their victims are concerned, and who, more often than not, do their best to keep their relatives from being carried off into slavery -- can be high. Following the forced exodus by Princess Arianna and her people to the OZ, the Shadow Emperor sent a large party of Demon-Apes there to try and capture as many of the Munkins as possible, including the Princess. Needless to say, the mystical defenses of the OZ proved to be more than sufficient to stop the raid cold. This setback, however, hasn't dissuaded the Shadow Emperor from continuing to try to gain access to the OZ; indeed, recent rumors suggest that the conqueror has recruited a group of warriors known as Gareth Shocktroopers to carry out a ground attack in support of the next Demon-Ape aerial assault... The Demon-Apes were inspired by The Arc's Flying Munkies pic. Major Tom 2009 Minus 91 and counting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Tom 2009 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Recently, a new group of supervillains made its appearance in India, where they have proceeded to terrorize the populace. Although humanoid in appearance for the most part, each of them is possessed of animalistic features of one sort or another. They collectively refer to themselves as the Asuras, after the demons of Indian mythology, but it is as yet unknown if they are actually supernatural beings, or mutants who are attempting to take advantage of their appearance by playing upon the beliefs and fears of the Indian public. The first of the Asuras is Aghasura, the "serpent-demon": [ATTACH=CONFIG]44206[/ATTACH] Possessing a humanoid upper body with a cobra-like head and a serpentine lower body, Aghasura is a massive being indeed, with a length of 30 feet. What is truly frightening, though, is that he apparently has the power to grow to even greater size -- one reliable account put his length in his larger form at over 120 feet. In addition, he also possesses a venomous bite, and can spray his venom at an oppon- ent as well. The venom itself is an extremely potent neurotoxin; while someone who has only been sprayed in the face with it has a chance to avoid blindness if they're able to wash it out before that happens, a bite victim has less than a min- ute before the venom shuts down his autonomic nervous system -- leading to the victim's death by suffocation as his lungs and diaphragm stop working.

Major Tom 2009 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine The second of the Asuras is Bakasura, the "cannibal-demon": [ATTACH=CONFIG]44207[/ATTACH] Bakasura could almost pass for human, if it weren't for his fang-filled mouth, pointed ears, and slitted, reptilian eyes. And as for his moniker, it's apparently well-earned -- several of his victims have vanished from the face of the Earth, leaving no traces other than a huge puddle of blood and some scraps of what were once their clothes nearby. Bakasura often hunts for victims in concert with Jatasura, the rakshasa-demon. Bakasura's part in these hunts is that of a beater, as he prefers to chase his prey into the waiting arms of Jatasura (who has used his power to appear as either one of the victim's loved ones, or some- one that they trust). Once the victim is in Jatasura's grasp (and Bakasura catches up to them), the rakshasa-demon drops the illusion, allowing the victim a brief instant to realize that he or she is doomed before being killed by the two Asuras; nothing gives them as much pleasure as that moment of terrible realization in their victim's eyes.
