Hudson City Shadows-Rewriting Origins

[philnicau]

I'm currently starting a Urban Fantasy Hero campaign based on Hudson City Shadows (but darker), in brief the campaign starts in 2012 where the magic level , which has been steadily rising since the late 1800s, has finally gotten high enough for combat spells (cast in one turn) and magical creatures to exist.

Anyway I was considering rewriting the origin of some of the villians to reflect a more mystical source.

here's what I have so far:

 

Pulsar

Similar except that Viper is actually run by the Lemurians, and their Technology is actually Scientific-Sorcery, so when he was strapped into the machine it was actually infusing him with Corusqua giving him lightning based power, further whenever he uses his powers he radiates a magical signature.

Further because Corusqua is unstable in an atmosphere whenever his skin is broken (KA) it reacts causing him pain, his Vulnerability to Killing Attack.

 

Adonis

Always attractive when he was a young teenager he found former Supermodel Helios's body who apparently had committed suicide, when he looked closely at the corpse he was possessed by the spirit of the Greek Demigod Adonis, giving him god-like Strength, Agility and Charm, but he soon came to realise that it had a price, Adonis is associated with Youth and as he got older and his Beauty began to fade the spirit struggled to break free to seek a more Youthful Host.

To avoid this he became obsessed with Cosmetic Surgery as he feels he can supress the spirit if he regains his looks.

 

Next Foxbat??
