The Purple Gang, as Promised

[Kristopher]

Since I said I'd post the characters and their .hdc files as I finished them, here they are. As I've built them, they're intended as long-term foes for a team of 300-point teen heroes, maybe after the heroes have gained a little experience. The mastermind behind their schemes would be the type to slowly feel the heroes out anyway, so any excess power is at least partially offset by that, and by the villains' various flaws. Feel free to use them.

 

PS: Sorry there's no art, I couldn't draw my way out of a paper bag.

 

PPS: Several of these characters are PG-13.

Height: 1.65 m	Hair: Blonde
Weight: 51.00 kg	Eyes: Blue
Appearance: Petite and pretty, with a killer smile, short blonde hair, and bright blue eyes; there's a hint of her wiry strength in her frame. On missions, she wears a skintight black bodysuit with a purple sash at the waist, and purple gloves, boots, and collar. Her enhanced-vision goggles are molded to be reminiscent of high-priced sunglasses, and help to disguise her identity.
Personality: Purple Rose lives in a world of peasure and pain. She wants to feel, and the more intense the sensations, the better. Everyone is a potential participant in her little games, and everything's an opportunity. In all things physical, emotional, and intellectual, she'll do whatever it takes, take whatever she can get, and always come out on top. Or the bottom, if that's what she feels like. It's not enough for her to win a fight, she needs to humiliate, injure, torment, and hurt her opponents.
Quote:"Beg for me."
Background: Tanith Therriot was that they used to call a "bad seed." She was always quicker and tougher than then other kids, and enjoyed tormenting them, stirring up trouble, and causing grief. As she grew up, she became the quitessential bad little rich girl. Put on a sweet face for daddy and mommy, show up at the society events, and make a show of success at school. Meanwhile, steal their money, smoke pot with the pool boy in the shed, and go down on the teachers for the grades. It all fell apart her freshman year at Brown. Two of her professors were fired for sleeping with her, she was kicked out for cheating, and almost arrested in a drug sweep. Mortified by the scandal and feeling utterly betrayed, her parents disowned her and cut her off. That's when Deep Purple recruited her. With her superhuman reflexes and agility, not to mention her fondness for pain, she is a promising student for his martial training. Her family actually knows that she's become a costumed criminal, but won't turn her in for the same reason they disowned her: image.
Powers/Tactics: Rose is quick, and vicious. Her martial arts training focuses on effectiveness and brutality. Given the opportunity, she'll use her Chokehold on an opponent who can't easily get away, and then whisper in his ear as she slowly renders him unconcious. Against characters who rely on their movement or hands, she likes to use her Joint Break and then toy with them. Still, she's learned the hard way to save playing with her foes for when she can get away with it. Because she's small, pretty, and doesn't always go straight for the knockout, she'll often be underestimated, and she uses that to her advantage.
Campaign Use: In her strange way, Rose might take a "liking" to one of the male PCs. Probably male, anyway. She can be intensely appealing, but she's also pretty much unlikeable and irredeamable -- an interesting dilema for the typical young male.

Height: 1.69 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 51.00 kg	Eyes: Violet
Appearance: Hot and she knows it, with incredible violet eyes and raven black hair. Garnet usually wears something inconspicuous, so she doesn't draw attention before or after a fight. Once her powers are activated, Garnet needs no costume or uniform. Her crystal form gives her the appearance of living, moving gemstone.
Personality: Garnet is an atypically level-headed and even-keeled member of the Purple Gang. She has no neurosis, psychosis, or near-pathological hang-ups. She's motivated by financial gain and an exciting lifestyle. Unlike the rest of the team, she's actually careful not to kill anyone. On the side, she's taking advantage of all the opportunities for education and training available in Deep Purple's organization.
Quote:"Fist-fight, fire-fight, whatever, let's do this."
Background: Born to happy parents in American suburbia, Cynthia led a perfect normal, simple, safe, and boring life. Right up until the day after her 16th birthday, when a car jumped the curb and ran into her on the sidewalk. The trauma of the impact spontaneously activated her powers for the first time. Despite all the trouble this caused, she was actually elated -- so much for normal, simple, safe, and boring. Her parents sent her off to a boarding school to avoid the embarasment and attention. That's where she was first contacted by the Purple Gang.
Powers/Tactics: Garnet is the most versatile and balanced combatant in the Purple Gang. Outside of Deep Purple and Reign, she's also the most powerful. She can hold her own in a melee, but prefers to fight against energy-wielding foes due to her near-invulnerability to those attacks. She is also accutely aware of her potentially crippling vulnerability. Still, on the battlefield, she keeps a cool head, and she's the team's mainstay.
Campaign Use: Garnet is the most likely to leave the Purple Gang. The realities of the Purple Gang could, over time, erode her loyalties to Deep Purple and the team.

Well, that's it for tonight. 2 down, 5 to go.

 

PS: Thanks for the template, KS.

 

[death tribble]

These two contravene the words of our Lord, Elvis Presley.

 

And yay did not Elvis sing in Jailhouse Rock ?

 

'And the Whole Rhythm Section was the Purple Gang,

Let's Rock !

Everybody Let's Rock !

Everubody on the whole Cell Block

was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock !'

 

So where are their musical talents then ?

[Crimson Arrow]

These ladies are part of the NEW Purple Gang.

 

Although maybe the rhythm is the sound of their fists beating into the heroes' heads?

 

Nice job so far, Kristopher.

[Kristopher]

Too tired...

 

Sorry I forget to mention last night that these are all PG-13 characters...

Appearance: Short and naturally skinny, years of combat and mandatory workouts have finally put some muscle on Prose's frame. He's not ugly, but his personality usually saps any attractiveness he might otherwise have. On missions, he wears a combat boots, armored and padded pants and jacket, gloves, and a mask that leaves his mouth exposed.
Personality: Prose is a videogame-playing, energy-drink guzzling, hopelessly horny, porn-surfing, hyperactive little slacker. If not for his powers, he'd be utterly useless to the Purple Gang. As it is, he's easily motivated by a stready supply of his obsessions, and relatively little cash. His induction into the Purple Gang has utterly stunted his already lagging emotional growth. At first, he tried putting obnoxious moves on the female members, but the super-powered rejections have left him gun shy in that department. His only real "experience" was on the April Fools Day that Purple Passion used her powers on the rest of the team, and Purple Rose has threatened to kill him if he ever tells anyone...

Background: Jamie Curran could speak fluent English by his second birthday. By the time he was in 2nd grade, he was learning new languages as fast as his parents and teachers could put the books and tapes in front of him. Experts wanted to interview and study him. All that attention isn't always good for a little boy, however. His parents doted on him, he spent all his time with adults who were so proud of him, and over time he became a spoiled little brat. He expected his peers to think as highly of him as the adults, to give him whatever he wanted like the adults. This included the girls. A little alcohol, a little "misunderstanding", and he was looking at an attempted rape charge at the age of 14. Suddenly, the adults weren't so happy with him. That's when agents of the Purple Gang came forward with an offer to place Jamie in an education program specifically for kids "like Jamie."
Powers/Tactics: The language center of Prose's brain is hyperdeveloped. Any language he reads, anything he hears, he can understand, and he masters languages in a matter of minutes, given enough material to study. He only has one combat-effective power: the ability to spout a babble of proto-language so loud and confusing that it overloads the human brain momentarily. There is a psionic element to this attack, limiting it to one target at a time. The hyperactive, proto-language storm inside his head also makes it a very dangerous place for mentalists to go poking around. So far, none of the martial training he has received from Deep Purple has really taken hold, and his main tactic is still to hang near the edge of fights and snipe at his opponents. If confronted with a crisis, he's more likely to freeze than to do something useful. Much of the use that Deep Purple gets out of him is in the intelligence sector, translating and decrypting material.
Campaign Use: If one of the PCs is into online videogaming, they could run into Prose there. It's also possible that he could develop a crush on a female PC.

Height: 1.66 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 53.00 kg	Eyes: Black
Appearance: Put Passion in a school uniform, and she'd look like the archetypical anime schoolgirl. There's a air of innocence about her that's totally at odds with her jaded, manipulative tendancies. Of course, the innocence is all part of the act. On missions, Passion wears a black-and-purple armored jumpsuit, boots, gloves, and a butterfly-pattern masquerade mask that contains hidden vision-enhancement gear and polarized lenses.
Personality: Passion is fascinated by the emotions of others. She's drawn in by the way they twist and change and interweave; it's like playing with a cat's cradle. She's also afraid of getting caught up in all those strings. Her skewed view of emotion as fundamentally maleable has left her unable to trust her own feelings, and that mistrust is only heightened by the knowledge of what can happen if she loses control. Still, it's hard to experience all that emotion and not feel anything yourself. Despite the impressive salary she receives from Deep Purple, her main motivation for staying with his organization is the ongoing opportunity to experiment on the emotions of others.
Quote:"Well, isn't it just a cesspool of mental filth in here."
Background: Born in San Francisco to a Japanese mother and a Chinese father, Juliet was a distant and unusual child. One of her first memories is the realization that almost no one can lie to her, and she has known from an early age just how much people lie to each other every day. After puberty, though, things became strange. The stew of emergent sexuality around her was disturbing to say the least. She knew when boys were "looking at her." At a party, she realized, quite by accident, that a harmless daydream on her part could turn an entire room of teenagers into rutting animals. Over time, Juliet came to understand that she could manipulate other people's emotions almost as easily as she could sense them. Then came the day when everything changed. In the hall between classes, a group of boys started making lewd comments about her. In a fit of anger, she publicly told each of them in turn that he deserved to die. Three of them committed suicide that night. The insuing investigation cleared her of any involvement, of course, but no one would look her in the eye anymore, and it was all over the papers. When she received a mysterious offer to study psychology at an exclusive school, she jumped at the chance to get out of town.
Powers/Tactics: Passion is master of human emotion. She prefers to jerk her foes around, toying with their emotions, turning them on one another, or invoking fear and doubt. When she must, she can unleash a blast of raw, overwhelming emotional stress. As with most mentalists, she prefers to do this from the sidelines. She's not as defenseless as it seems, however; it's hard to attack someone who can make Reign quake with fear if she must. She's also quite useful during Deep Purple's interrogations and interviews.
Campaign Use: Despite her non de gere, Passion has become fairly distant from humanity, so it's doubtful anyone could get through to her. The effort would have to be utterly sincere and very long term. If someone did, however, she might turn on the Purple Gang, since they've never done anything but play on her isolation and serve as an ongoing experiment in return. Her loyalty to them is rather passionless.

I'm not sure whether to take the general lack of comment as a sign I got them right, or as an utter lack of interest.

 

It's hard sometimes to come up with villainous motivations, and part of my intent with this team is to present, for each member, a somewhat realistic mesh of psychology and backstory that might actually lead someone to end up as a supervillain.

[astralfrontier]

As one of the players in Rechan's game, and now having heard that he won't be using this team, just let me say I'm grateful. These guys look nasty, and very well done.

[Kristopher]

I still have the desolid, the field leader, and the mastermind to post. I'll get the desolid done tonight, hopefully. Unless I change something, the one thing the team doesn't have is a true brick, and I'm having trouble coming up with a "purple-concept" that says "brick."

Purple people eater? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

Seriously, though. Not every team has to have a brick. It's these little weaknesses that add character.

Height: 1.80 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 75.00 kg	Eyes: Brown
Appearance: A reasonably handsom Hispanic youth, who won't make eye contact if he can avoid it. On missions, Haze wears a lightly armored uniform, dark purple with black trim. The further transformed into gas he is, the more transparent he becomes, until he almost completely disappears in the visible spectrum.
Personality: Haze doesn't consciously realize it, but Deep Purple has taken on the father-figure role in his psyche. He finally has the approval he was always so desperate for, and he'd do almost anything in return, both out of gratitude, and out of fear of losing that approval. He's still shy, and has developed a disturbing habit of observing other people without their knowledge. He'd spy on his teammates more often, but each has in turn eventually caught him doing it and expressed their displeasure in his or her unique and painful way. He is particularly frightened of Reign's wrath, as the weather-manipulator nearly killed him.
Quote:"But the boss said..."
Background: Adrian Allende was born into a poor family, in the San Diego area. His father was a hard, demanding man who tolerated no failure and no mistake, who believed that being tough on a boy was the only way to make him a strong man. Adrian desperately wanted his approval, but always seemed to come up short. Instead of making Adrian strong and tough and aggresive, the constant pressure and scrutiny left him terrified of making the smallest mistake, and too scared to try for fear of failing. He became introverted, only able to do things away from others, where no one could seem him falter. Often, he just wanted to fade away and become invisible. As he grew up, he tried to get an after-school job, but was such a nervous wreck in interviews that he was never hired. Desperate for the money he thought would get him the approval he now sought from his peers and from girls, he turned to burglary. It actually worked out fairly well, until he broke into the wrong office, and the big frowning men with guns came looking for him. They finally cornered him, and opened fire. Only, he didn't die. He just stood there, and watched them stop shooting, and watched while they looked around like he had disappeared -- and then he realized that he -had- disappeared. After the initial shock of turning into a cloud of haze wore off, he decided that he'd hit the jackpot. If only he'd know who the next place he robbed would turn out to belong to...
Powers/Tactics: Haze specializes in covert action and ambush. He has developed his powers to the point where he can either fully disassociate and become a nearly-invisible cloud of haze, able to slip through vents and under doors unseen, or partially transform, thereby ignoring a good deal of what's thown at him while still possessing enough solidity to attack his opponents. His major offensive ability involves projecting a jet of narcotic gas at a nearby foe. Because he is essential a coherent gas when his powers are manifested, he is vulnerable to wind-based attacks and the like in that form.
Campaign Use: Haze is by far the most loyal member of the Purple Gang. He'd die before betraying Deep Purple, and would rat out any member he thought was even considering doing so.

Height: 1.80 m	Hair: Golden
Weight: 71.00 kg	Eyes: Blue
Appearance: Her mother's bright blue eyes and golden hair, naturally bronzed skin, and glorious physique.
Personality: Violet has picked up her father's calm politeness, his love of learning, and his appreciation for the finer things in life. She also exhibits some of his manipulative, excessively driven, supremely confident side as well. She grew up surrounded by her father's activities, and her worldview thereby has a rather unusual moral compass, to say the least. She sees her father as a nobelman of sorts, meant to rule because his massive intellect and refined manner, but thwarted by the petty and small-minded. She even knows the circumstances of her birth, which was presented to her as something that had to be done in order to present the future king with a suitable heir.
Quote:"Try again."
Background: 19 years ago, the superheroine Martial Glory disappeared without a trace. Many of the world's heroes responded to the loss of one of their own, scouring the earth and the heavens, and shaking down the usual suspects for any posible lead. None of her foes knew anything. Her long-time nemesis Tigerpaw even came forward, volunteering to help in the search. It made no difference. 14 months later, she woke up in her own bed, in her own home, with no memory of what had happened to her -- she was shocked to find that the date had leapt forward over a year. There was much rejoicing at her return. A few days later, however, her doctor handed her the results of her physical: sometime, in those missing months, she had been pregnant and given birth. Somewhere out there is a child she will probably never know, conceived in circumstances she'll probably never uncover. That child's name is Gloria...her father is not without a sense of humor.
Powers/Tactics: Violet inhereted her father's mind and her mother's body. The mental and physical aspects of combat all come naturally to her. Her presence in open combat, however, would mark a moment of serious desperation for Deep Purple and his organization. Instead, she serves as his apprentice and lieutenant, and as a combat instructor for the agents and superhumans of the Purple Gang. Her father intends her to be his heir, not a field officer.
Campaign Use: Beloved daughter, heir-designate, and long-term experiment of one Deep Purple. Long-lost child of an aging hero. She's one of those characters the PCs may never actually encounter, depending on the course of the campaign.

As one of the players in Rechan's game, and now having heard that he won't be using this team, just let me say I'm grateful. These guys look nasty, and very well done.

 

Excellent...

although now that you've posted Violet, who is really a natural nemesis for my own PC, I may have to talk him into using them anyway.

Isn't the whole purple gang taken together suppossed to be less powerfull than Kinetik?

Huh? The Purple Gang is based on a post by Crimson Arrow, from which I drew the inspiration.

You may be thinking of the "New Purple Gang", which is not the same thing as is being detailed here.

[Rechan]

Now that I see them written down on paper and fully fleshed out, these could be useful to me regarding a spubplot going on.

 

Say, who's this Reign? And can't wait for DP's sheet.

[Kristopher]

Reign is the field leader. He's next up, but I'm still working on his backstory.

I still have the desolid, the field leader, and the mastermind to post. I'll get the desolid done tonight, hopefully. Unless I change something, the one thing the team doesn't have is a true brick, and I'm having trouble coming up with a "purple-concept" that says "brick."

To my mind Violet is rather redundant of Purple Rose. I'd consider making Violet simply a spoiled daddy's girl (Lots of plot hooks right there) and build a brick named UltraViolet. Perhaps a vehicle-sized powered-armor designed by Reign, manned by Reign's most slavishly-devoted follower?

 

In my MidGuard campaign my all female supervillain team Force 10's brick, Scarab, wears vehicle-based powered armor (Think small Mech) with bolt-on attachments. Scarab is a brilliant Egyptian cyberneticist and engineer. Every time MidGuard runs into Force 10, Scarab's armor has been upgraded. Heavier armor, improved weapons, etc. Kind of my own lesser version of Mechanon...

 

Overall a nicely crafted villain team with some solid thought into their background and personalities. Kudos.
