steriaca Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 So I like the name Giallo, so I came up with something a little different, I think, but what do you think? The pic suggests duplication instead of invisibly, but yes, it can work. The name comes from torrid and bloody pulp crime novels from Italy, named after there yellow covers. Later, it was used for simular movies, even without yellow movie posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Cimici, who named himself after the stink bug, has the ability to weaponise his body order. Not only that, but he can weaponise any smells. He is one of the more powerful agents of the don, and most dispised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Traversine is an enforcer. He is a brick with an odd power. Anything he strikes and is capable of sleeping may in fact fall asleep when striked. (Traversine means sleeper in Italian). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said it is a little different. I was thinking something along the lines of powers like Crona from Soul Eater or the living shadow of Nicodemus from the Dresden novels.

What you do with it is up to you. The "living shadow" makes sense, as many giallo movies depict the killer to be all dressed in black leather till the character's true idenity is revealed. There not acually wearing all leather, just presented that way to keep his identity a surprise till the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arc Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 So I guess the next question about Giallo is how to construct the "shadow". I've never been a big fan or summon or the follower perk, but then again the shadow is somewhat independant. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special effect of Streching and various attack powers (Hand Killing Attack, Hand-to-hand attack NND, drains, ectra). Also a great excuse for Extra Limbs.

steriaca Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 The next member of the family is Malocchio, the master of the evil eye (which is what malocchio means). Using his malevolent magical eyes, he can move objects he looks at, set things on fire by looking at them, even curse people he sees with bad luck, among other feats. He wears a blindfold and only removes it for battle, for he can't turn his power off without it, nor control exactly what it does without it.

Balabanto Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 So I was work on a background for a character when an idea for the bad guys in the background was a group called the Il Ragno Crime Syndicate. Other than the name, I really don't have any idea who the members might be. Il Ragno means "the Spider" in Italian. So I was thinking that there should be eight members, all of whom have super-powers...So any thoughts, and no they don't have to be spider themed, just Italian... Well, thank you for yet another word that means Spider for my eventual S.P.I.D.E.R. sourcebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arc Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 So far I've only have 4 characters: Il Don dei mortei, Freccia, Giallo, and Trantuala. I'm actually working on the sheets for them, but more ideas are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The files are nice, but my cell phone can't see thoes files. Can you give me a rough rundown, in paragraph form, on each member? As for a new member... La Seta (The Silk) is a woman of hi fashion. She never wears the same outfit twice and is always considered a fashion plate. She is also a mutant with the ability to control cloth she touches. She can make cloth as strong as steel while keeping it flexible. In the crime family, she controls the illegal counterfeit fashion trade. She has warehouses filled with pore people in slave labour, curning out fake Guici bags, Rolex watches, and more. They even make fake medicine. And rumor has it she is also the head pimp of the family. If a pimp does not pay her the share, she straightens her scarf and beats them with her 'pimp beating cane'.

Only Tarantula is close to having the sheet done. I like the idea of La Seta. Makes me think of the Bolt from PS 238 webcomic. He had the powers to control clothe. Maybe like Marvel's Skein or Tatterdemalion?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can control cloth touching her body, EVEN IF IT IS COVERING ANOTHER BODY. Marvel's Gypsy Moth also has cloth control powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel's Gypsy Moth also has cloth control powers. I was going to say Gypsy Moth as well, but I guess she's now known as Skein according to wikipedia. Also reminds me of Oriental Adventures from AD&D where they had martial artist using the silken spear technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 So I put together some potential images for La Seta... Which one looks best...? Remember what I wrote, she is all about hi fashion, which means that she wouldn't wear a set costume. So...ALL the costumes are good.

death tribble Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 One of the first two pictures of La Seta for use. The last two are not good for punch ups. It's like a no capes for the Incredibles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is that La Seta is a follower of hi fashion. It is hard to picture her sticking to one costume throughout her entire criminal career.
