Background/History:  Paulo Ramirez grew up in Mexico.  When he was 14 his powers first manifested when he defended himself against a school bully.  His parent, fearing that the army would kidnap him, sent his to live with his aunt. There he kept out of trouble, but when he used his powers to rescue some people his aunt threw him out of the house.  He wandered for a while and even crossed into the US. He tried to keep a low profile, but some corrupt agents ratted him out to the cartel and he was forced to join or see his family die. Thus he became El Gigante.  Seeing some limitations to his powers they even commissioned some armbands for him. And thus his nightmare started. Eventually Anasazi crossed paths with him. Using his own contacts, he rescued Paulo's family and made it look like Paulo died in Battle.  Later Skybreaker joined the Untouchables as the resident strongman!

 

Personality/Motivation:  A decent man forced to do nasty things, he's another looking for redemption story.  

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Growth powers along with great durability.  As well he has a pair of very high tech armbands that can shoot lightning and thunder!  Generally he's on point. If he can't grow to full height, he'll use the bands to get in a few ranged attacks!

 

Campaign Use:  The meta human side of the drug trade.  As well as hooks into what does Mexico do with their Metas.  

 

Appearance:  A man of Mexican descent with black hair and brown eyes.  At normal height he's 180 cm and 91 KG. At full size he's 14 meters tall and 46000 Kg.  His costume is a blue bodysuit with yellow lightning bolts going from the shoulder to his chest.  As well he wears golden arm band on his wrists!

 

 

 

 

So he's a decent build.  A growth style brick with a bit of ranged extras.  So he has some versatility.  

 

And I like the backstory, with all the hooks into Mexico, the drug trade and out of US supers.  

 

[Mr. R]

And now ......  THE VILLAINS!

 

First up a source of a lot of toys or new meta villains out there!

Background/History:  Blake White, United States Air Force.  And genius. But dad was old school military and didn't like all that geeky learning stuff.  So Blake hid his genius. Until they found the probe. When Blake touched the sphere, thousands of designs and plan were downloaded into his mind, with the promise of many more.  His repressed genius wanted this, and he stole the probe and went underground. Soon he was selling his services and creations to whoever would pay. Artificer is open for business!

 

Personality/Motivation:  The pursuit of knowledge is what motivates Artificer.  New scientific discoveries, processes,and breakthroughs.  Knowledge for its own sake.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Artificer possesses a battlesuit of his own design.  With good armour, flight and a powerful blast. In addition his genius allows him to modify the armour if he knows what is coming.  His most dangerous quality is his raw intelligence. He's a trained military man, so play him accordingly!

 

Campaign Use:  Need a source of all those toys?  Need an explanation of why a new villain is out there?  Do you have a player who is head of a major cutting edge company?  

 

Appearance:  178 cm and 189 kg with brown hair and grey eyes.  His battlesuit is a sleek body armour that covers him totally.  It is coloured white with blue accents!

 

 

 

So he's your anti Iron Man.  Brilliant but with few ethics.  He conducts experiments on people without their knowledge, make devices to put on the market and create supers when asked (no guarentees and money will not be refunded).  Need some new blasters for some bad guys?  Basically he's the reason for a lot of stuff you want to add.  

 

As well he will participate on his own endeavours to increase his knowledge, or acquire (Steal) from other sources.  

 

So he can be used as a background figure, or as a mastermind type.  

 

Power wise, he's got a nasty blast and his pool can be used as attachments for any opponents he knows he will face, (and he does his homework, play up that intelligence).

 

So I like him!

[Mr. R]

He's a cold, hard man

Background/History:  Jefferson Walker grew up in South Central LA.  The odds were against him, but he had faith in himself, in his toughness and his smarts.  If he could get an education, he could free himself from the streets. And he made it, by being smart, tough and mean.  Graduating by age 15, he went to work as a "consultant" for various concerns. But all this was to get his real goal. Metahuman power.  He researched the various means and eventually approached Artificer with a proposition. In exchange for some information, and a tidy sum of cash, could Artificer do it.  Artificer agreed to the deal and soon a new villain called Coldstone was selling his services to those that need a "consultant"

 

Personality/Motivation:  Money.  Coldstone is a professional mercenary who works at the highest level.  He's professional enough to keep a good reputation, and smart enough to know when a plan is going to blow up and he needs to get out.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  In normal form Jefferson is tall, strong and well built.  As Coldstone, he looks like a statue of himself, that increases his strength and durability.  In addition he has the ability to place a cold aura around himself that can damage his opponent!

 

Campaign Use:  Mercenary trainer.

 

Appearance:  Normal 193 cm and 220 Kg with brown eyes and a bald head.  As Coldstone he appears as a rough statue of himself with a definite cold field around him!

 

 

 

 

 

I like this build. In SAS the signature hero has a vulnerability to cold, and one of his signature abilities is a cold field. It is an example of making a villain who is powerful generally, but really scary to one in particular. 

Personality wise he should be played as smart, resourceful and willing to take a calculated risk. He's paid to act as a trainer / extra muscle. Heroes should respect him, but remember he is a cold, hard killer. 

Power wise, his defenses are a bit low, but it is made up by his SPD of 6. Add some ranged attacks and he becomes fairly versatile. But primarily he's a Brick. Get in close and hit em.

Background/History:  Zaira was bored. She had spent most of the last 2000 years conquering the planes that adjoined hers.  She had started small, with a small nation on one plane, but had gradually added others, either by military or alliance.  After her own plane, she looked to the others. Some were so badly governed that she had to help rebuild the society while she took over.  Finally, 100 years ago, she finished. It was a paradise of order. Then her Senechal brought forward a new, unknown plane, with its own great defenders, Earth.  Now Zaira is excited again. New worlds to conquer and order to bring. Soon a new world will tremble at the name of Zaira, the Dark Queen!

 

Personality/Motivation:  She wishes to bring order.  All will be peaceful and lawful and boring.  Zaira doesn't realize that her order is stifling, even to her.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  A powerful mage of Darkness and Shadow magic, with an army of soldiers.  

 

Campaign Use:  A foreign invader from another dimension.  Also possibly a dimension hopping adventure to various planes of Zaira to see what her order means!

 

Appearance:  186 cm and 64 KG with Silver eyes and indigo hair.  She wears regal outfits as befits a queen!

 

 

 

 

 

So a take on Hero"s Empress of a Billion Dimensions. Hers is only thirteen, but it still should be enough to provide her with any sort of mount, creature and special operative she would need to attack a world. Its not in the points but one could easily add at least 1000 agents to her to fit the concept. Add the fact that she's been at this for over 2000 years and you have one experienced and formidable foe. She has some disadvantages that could be used against her, but her biggest weaknesses are her devotion to duty AND her desire for order. Zaira is bored because all is orderly. There is no chaos, no spontaniety. 

Power wise she's impressive. Her Crown gives her movement and defense, she always has a set of bodyguards with her (I'd make them 100 pt base with about 25-50 pts disads). But it is her command of magic. it isn't capable of everything, but still has a lot.
Note in her write up it says that one her own plane her VPP should be doubled. That gives her a great deal of power to set things in motion.

Personality wise, she's a haughty foreign ruler. She believes her way is the best and nothing will sway her from that. Anyone who opposes her are deluded and need to be shown the truth (by force if need be).

I like the character. She's an example of when Lawful Good goes overboard. An interesting set of adventures is going to her home planes to see what it is like there. maybe even unleash a little chaos. For those players who don't like status quo missions, this could be a nice change of pace!

Background/History:  Rachel Wilde came from a long line of plunderers and adventurers.  But her family raised her to have some scruples. Only steal from those who had no appreciation for the wonders they possess.  Then she learned of her parents more "Occult" pursuits when the family mansion disappeared one night with only a mirrored pool of her parent's faces at the center.  She still refuses to talk about it. So Rachel threw herself into some research about a weapon that was granted to Warrior Heroines. And she found it, but in the ensuing struggle gained only a portion if it.  Still it is enough to grant her abilities far beyond normal people. Though she would like to possess the other pieces, it does not consume her like her quest to preserve the magical and wondrous from those who can not or will not appreciate them.  Occasionally she will steal for others, but only if they can meet both her requirements and her fees. And so Green Ronin is a masterless warrior of the world!

 

Personality/Motivation:  To preserve the magical and wondrous in the world from those who don't appreciate it.  She will lie, cheat, steal and if necessary fight. She will not kill to gain an item, and once hired will stick to the contract.  As well she searches for answers to her parents and if they can be freed. Her very redeeming quality is she will not harm children as they still possess awe and wonder!

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Rachel possesses a piece of a wondrous weapon / armour.  Her piece is better for defence and so it has great protection as well as flight and life support.  For offence she will use any of a number of magical artifacts she has gathered ranging from bows to flails to longswords.  As well she is a trained burglar and occultist.

 

Campaign Use:  Got a magical hero with a collection of doo dads.  Or someone is stealing magical artifact for a particular ritual.  If you want to show her nicer side, have her help stop someone who is magically harming children.  As well one portion of the weapon is held by a major villain, and she may maneuver heroes to help her get it.

 

Appearance:  179 cam and 64 kg with long black hair and green eyes.  Out of costume she dresses in classic, tasteful outfits, but always with long sleeves.  Her armour looks head to toe tailored scale mail that is dark green. Her weapons vary, at the moment she favours a bow that can fire any arrow imaginable, but literally anything is possible!

 

 

 

If you have a hero with a collection of doo dads, then she may be targeting you.  She has links to a major hero and a major villain.  But mostly she fills that noble villain niche.  You want to have a villain the heroes can trust to keep their word, then here's your lady.  Also her protectiveness towards children can be a hook.

 

Power wise, she's tough.  Good defenses, decent attacks and movement.  Remember she has a collection of magical weapons, so any encounter can change depending on what role you want her to have, ranged or hth.

 

Personality wise she's more of an anti hero.  She a mirror to what the heroes could be if they cut to many corners.  she has her virtues, but at heart she steals for her own reasons!

[Mr. R]

She's a stealer not a fighter

Background/History:  Margret Collins was always pressured by her mother to find a good husband.  Preferably rich and influential. And (insert name) was held as the ideal. Though a bit old, he was rich and respectable.  But Margret was having none of that. First she demanded to be called Peggy. Then the rock music. Then the "bad girls" influence.  When Peggy's mother said "obey or leave", she left. She started life on the streets and any runaway, but soon she was far beyond that.  Skills she earned getting away from her mother became very useful, and what she didn't know, she quickly learned. Soon she was one of the city's premier cat burglars.  Then when (insert name) revealed that he was a famous superhero, she snapped. All her life going groomed to an unobtainable standard. A person who defended a status quo which made her a trophy.  Time to show those heroes that they are not so high and mighty. A few high profile thefts from some high tech headquarters, and a few favours called in and zoom Heartbreaker was breaking into where she wanted!

 

Personality/Motivation:  Peggy was told all her life all she was good for was to to be a wife.  Her desires and abilities counted for nothing. She's been rebelling ever since.  Now she rebels against the superheroes because the support a status quo that kept her down.  (Of course her logic is faulty, but try and convince her)

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  A highly skilled cat burglar with a few high tech gadgets.

 

Campaign Use:  She not meant to be an up front fighter, but a thief you have to catch because she stole some sort of thing.  Also she could be hired to steal a particular object, or place something there!

 

Appearance:  165 cm and 49 kg with long blond hair and blue eyes.  Her costume is a black bodysuit with a broken heart symbol on the front.

 

 

 

So you want a super cat burglar. here you go. She's who you bring out when you want a reason that the HQ is missing that special piece of equipment or that trophy or that memorial. Now it is a chase to find her and catch her before she sells it, or before it does something she's not ready for. 

Power wise, she's really street level in power. This fits for her back ground and power sets. Even in a team, she would not be front line, but causing problem in the background, or going for the prize while the heroes are busy.

Personality wise, she's got a chip on her shoulder. Mother kept hammering her lack of value except for her looks. She's been trying to prove her worth ever since.

[Amorkca]

Given her "looks" as the only valuable asset her mother thinks she has... Would Striking Appearance be beneficial as a Complication?

 

Nice build!

Background/History:  Amy Harrison is a child of the 1960's  The summer of love and the liberating openness of thought spoke to her core.  It also spoke to her desire for justice against the corrupt and powerful. Thus she began a small campaign of industrial sabotage, that led to her being capture and suspended tied up over a barrel of toxic wastes.  She would have died if not for (Speedster) who rescued her. In the process his own high speed energies and the fumes and Amy's own genetics combined to grant her superspeed as well. Designing a costume and light pistol she became Kaleidoscope.  Occasionally she would be a hero, sometimes a villain all depending on her own moral code. Recently she has been trying to come to term with the fact that she has not aged since 1962. It weighs heavily on her and where she goes may depend on who she meets!

 

Personality/Motivation:  An old style activist with super powers.  Polluters, sweatshops, child labourers, human traffickers, etc.  Her list is long and ever changing. But also unsure, as age has made start to question her place in the world!

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Classic speedster with a few surprises.  First is her light pistol that fires swirling light patterns that can knock out an opponent.  In addition as she runs she leaves a light trail that she can supercharge to blind opponents. Also Amy is smart enough to well plan her operations.  She has contingencies and back ups!

 

Campaign Use:  Eco terrorist with a code.  Also "who is she?"

 

Appearance:  170 cm and 55 kg with light brown hair and light brown eyes.  Her costume is a tie dye mess of swirling colors. Her light pistol is on a holster on her waist!

 

 

 

 

 

So I really like this build.  A speedster with a twist.  She's generally non lethal and fighting her would be an exercise in not getting blinded.  Her speed and ability to plan makes her a foe that should not be underestimated.  Also she has a lot of hooks that could make her an anti hero and maybe even a full fledged hero.

 

Power wise, she's fast and has that light gun.  As well she doesn't have to hit you to affect you.  

 

 

On the whole I give her a thumbs up!

[Mr. R]

So next up is a a group called the Einherhar.  Only one member Miolnir was given a write up, the rest are just given a paragraph or two.  So I expanded upon the descriptions as I would see them in HERO.  You will find that they are powerful but not overwhelming and have a lot of problems.  So coming up

 

Miolnir (Leader, Fast brick)

Grendel (Brick)

Draugar (HTH expert)

Lorelei  (Super spy, femme fetale and more than likely 2IC)

Berserker  (Guess)

Muspelli  (Flying fire blaster)

Kraken (Aquatic expert)

[Mr. R]

So first the leader of the team

Background/History:  Rickard Solander was born in Sweden, but emigrated to Thule in his twenties.  All he saw around him was chaos and he became convinced that Kreuzritter was the one person to bring order to the world.  Joining the Thulian army he moved up the ranks due to resourcefulness and ruthless devotion. So when he was approached with an offer to make him superhuman, he agreed immediately.  After a lengthy and painful ritual, he was bonded with a shell of magical earth that he could switch to at a moments notice. He then served as a weapon of Thule to undermine and discredit the possible enemies.  He has now been given command of the Einherhar as a strike force to serve Thule.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Totally loyal to Kreuzritter, he believes that Thule is the only possible answer to the growing chaos in the world.  To do this he will lie, cheat, kidnap, steal, and kill.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Miolnir can transform into an elemental earth form that is very strong and durable.  As well he can form his fist into hammers to add to his damage. Also he can cause his body to flow like sand.  Also he is a gifted commander and leader.

 

Campaign Use:  Evil versions of the heroes.  He's a patriot, to a country that would impose brutal laws to enforce order.  

 

Appearance:  196 cm and 100 kg with blond hair and blue eyes.  He wears a modified dress uniform of dark blue and black.  In elemental form he's a rock statue.

 

 

 

 

So a powerful lackey is made leader of his own team.  Thing is he could almost be called admirable for his dedication and perseverance.  But he also serves a brutal, despotic and bigoted would be world conqueror.  It best to think of this team as the IMF from the old TV show, just that they work for the bad guys.

 

Personality wise, well as I have stated, he should be portrayed as a dedicated soldier, just for the other side.

 

Power wise, in his human form he's very fit and talented.  Add the shell of earth he gets and he adds strength, durability, some malleability.  He can take point, but generally acts as super strong back up for his team-mates as Grendel does point so much better.

[Mr. R]

So the resident strong man.  And he's you typical cliche, big strong and dumb.

Background/History:  Created when DNA from a yeti was injected into a human subject.  He acts as the team's strong man and brick.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Grendel is almost animal like.  His tusks make it almost impossible for him to talk.  He's loyal to Miolnir and adored Lorelei.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Grendel flow chart 1- hit enemy 2- is enemy still up Yes- hit him again No- go to next enemy.

 

Campaign Use:  He's an example of the length Kreuzritter will go to take over the world.  This is what people will have to look forward to.

 

Appearance:  400 cm and 800 kg he's almost bestial with lanky red hair covering his torso and arms and legs.  He has tusk like teeth, pointed ears. All he wears is a pair of black trunks.

 

 

 

So it is like Sasquatch from Alpha Flight, minus the intelligence and emotional maturity.

 

This is the first member of the team that should cause players to question Kreuzritter's final goals.  This is what people will have to look forward to if he is in charge.  Add that at least three more members are inhuman like him.

 

Personality...... yeah just look.  

 

Power wise.  Classic Brick.  There's a reason its a classic.  He does what he is designed to do, get stuck in, soak the damage and dish it back out.

[Mr. R]

Another example of what the world would be like under Kreuzritter

Background/History:  When one of his soldiers died in a training exercise, Kreuzritter decided to use him as a subject for a new revivication drug.  Now kept between life and death y the drug pumping in him, he serves as one of the Einherhar!

 

Personality/Motivation:  Uncertain.  Many think it is rage at his condition and a desire to make others feel his pain.  

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  A gifted HTH combatant, Draugar can absorb heat and life from live bodies.  He can literally kill a person and not leave a mark on them. Also he can seem to heal from any wound and ignores damage that would fell a normal person.  He serves as one of the team's assassins and a front line combatant.

 

Campaign Use:  See Grendel!

 

Appearance:  183 cm and 87 kg he is bald with blue skin and glowing green eyes.  He wears a black bodysuit,

 

 

 

So he's the unstoppable monster who you hit and hit and hit and keeps coming.  He never stops.  And his touch means death.  Really he's designed to do one thing.  

 

Personality wise, there was not much to go on so I just extrapolated a bit.  I figure a hatred of what he is would make him the cold merciless killer he is now.  

 

Power wise, he's the teams assassin when they need to be quiet.  In combat he's a front line combatant.  He's best used to help set up one of the other's attacks.  He and Grendel make a nasty pair.  He's less enamored with Berserker, as his rages have resulted himself being the mad fighter's target.  

[Mr. R]

HMMM. I wonder who she reminds me of......

Background/History:  Once a member of Thule's intelligence service, she was chosen for a hormone/pheromone enhancement procedure.  It succeeded. Lorelei is the superspy and information gatherer of the team. With her power to dominate a person over time, there are very few secrets she can't pry from a willing target.  

 

Personality/Motivation:  The process also changed her body, making her faster and much more stunning.  She has adopted the femme-fatale persona completely and loves to seduce people to find their secrets.  

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Wondering why the opposition seems to know what is happening before you do.  Here's your reason. She likes to seduce people just for fun. In combat she wears an protective uniform with a blaster and set of grenades.  

 

Campaign Use:  if Miolnir is at an official function, Lorelei will be there as his date.  In the field she's the 2IC, who uses Grendel's adoration of her to keep the rest in line!

 

Appearance:  180 cm and 68 kg with long red hair and green eyes.  She wears a sleek bodysuit of pale blue and white with a low slung holster and combat harness!

 

 

 

"SO you think I'm pretty?"  Yep, a homage to BW.  

 

Personality wise I made her a manipulator, someone Miolnir send in first to soften the target.  Information gathering and prying secrets are her job.  Used properly she could have a team spinning around due to her machinations.  

 

Power wise they mention a pheromone Mind Control, and that she wears a combat harness and pistol belt.  So I added a blaster and a selection of grenades.  She's a back line person, supporting her team mates from the rear.

He's been turned into a wild beast

Background/History:  Trained as the ultimate combatant, Kreuzritter realized his warrior needed an edge.  So an injector of hyper adrenaline was implanted into him. Now when he enters combat, he will get an injection that transforms him into a combat machine whose only desire is to defeat his opponent.

 

Personality/Motivation:  To enter combat and defeat his opponents.  He could quote Conan the Barbarian "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their woman!"

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  He's a Wolverine clone.  He goes into combat, enters his enrages state, and becomes a monster.  His main problem is he can go into a berserk state and will attack allies as well.  The last time it happened, the team was fortunate as his target was Grendel. But they are still leary.

 

Campaign Use:  See Grendel!

 

Appearance:  195 cm and 100 kg with brown hair and eyes.  His costume is white and grey with fur trim to give him a bear like appearance!

 

 

 

So here is the enemy you will have no problem putting down.  It is unfortunate what has been done to him, but that does not mean that a badly treated animal needs to be left to roam in society.  Kreuzritter has a lot to answer for.  

 

So power wise I may have gone a bit overboard here.  He comes out to 17d6 damage so feel free to reduce damage classes in the Martial Arts to make him more in line ( getting rid of them all would make his damage 14d6, still nasty).  Once he enters his enraged state he becomes like a vicious animal.  The problem is he can also go berserk, then everyone is at risk.  As a campaign progresses, he would be the first to be targeted so as to remove his threat.  A long term side plot could be him running from his allies to try and find a way to remove his implant.  

 

Personality wise I made him like Logan in the early X-men, surly and bad tempered.  You could even add a likes to fight disad. if you want.  Seriously for the cost of the NPC, he leads to a lot of plot hooks.

[Mr. R]

He's the high flying blaster of the team

Background/History:  Another soldier who was in an accident, this time involving nanotech napalm.  Covered with the neutralizing solution, instead the napalm bonded to him. Now he can control the heat and fire as Muspeli!

 

Personality/Motivation:  A loyal soldier, he believes the accident story and remains loyal to Thule for saving his life.  

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  He's a Human torch clone.  Get his defenses up and get airborne!

 

Campaign Use:  If the heroes can show his accident was deliberate, they may have an in to destroying the Einherhar!

 

Appearance:  188 cm and 82 kg he's hairless and blackened with glowing red scars that cover his body.  He wears black knee length trunks and boots!

 

 

 

SO he's a Human torch homage with the addition of the horrible skin.  He's another that had very little personality, so I made him a loyal soldier to Thule who is grateful for his survival after a devastating accident.  The fact that the accident was deliberate and his suffering planned is not known to him.  If he ever found out, he could cause major problems for the team.

 

Personality wise he's the loyal lackey who will support Miolnir to the best of his ability.  At least until he's shown that his loyalty is misplaced.

 

Power wise, he's a classic fire blaster with a suite of offensive abilities.  Can't go wrong with a classic.

Background/History:  Thule is an island nation.  So Kreuzritter set up a program of genetic engineering to create an aquatic protector.  Kraken is the only survivor of the process. He now serves as the seaborne specialist of the team.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Again loyalty to Thule and its eventual rule.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Out of the water, Kraken is a brick / HTH combatant.  In the water he uses is swim speed to hit and run.

 

Campaign Use:  See Grendel!

 

Appearance:  193 cm and 77 kg he is a pale grey with reddish patches on his upper arms and torso.  He has no hair, but instead a series of fins on his head arms and legs. His eyes are a pale yellow.  He wears a pair of swim trunk with a blue green water pattern!

 

 

 

There is not a lot of personality to go off of here.  Most of his description is of the process and the lethality of it and how he's almost not human and even animals shun him.  So I figured a cold and emotionless figure.  I did this because he probably lost friends to the process, but also he's isolated, a monster.  And in addition he's a cold emotionless fish (yeah its a trope, deal with it).

 

Personality wise, see above.

 

Power wise, he's your typical underwater brick.  Aquaman, Namor, Namorita, all figure into his creation.  Add a large dose of creature from the Black Lagoon and you get the idea.  Since Thule is an island, then he would be in charge of any seaborne operations.  

[Mr. R]

I thought I finish this team with some basic combat tactics.  This would be the team to bring out for some experienced players who don't make use of combat tactics.  They are in general less powerful than the heroes but with some co-ordination can be nasty.

 

So first up Lorelei.  She's a spy with a nasty mind control.  Before the team even appears she should be around getting info.  In fact her pheromone powers should be kept hidden so they can be used again and again (How does she keep getting those secrets?)

 

In combat Grendel and Berserker will take point.  A one two strike from them can be totally over the top.  Add the fact the if Berserker goes off the rails, his first target will be Grendel, who can take the hits.

 

Draugar will roam around, taking out anyone that seem immune to regular damage.  Kraken is similar, and if possible will take the fight into the water where he has an advantage.  

 

Muspel and Lorelei will be at the back, taking ranged shots.  They will try to take out any fliers first, so Muspell has air superiority.  And a well timed grenade from Lorelei  can set up other members.

 

Miolnir will be guiding everyone and helping plug an holes or to support anyone who needs it.  Usually this involves keeping people off of Lorelei.  

 

Remember this team can be fractious, but in combat they should work well together as most are ex-military or ex-intelligence.  

 

 

[Mr. R]

He's a hunter of the night and his anguish know no bounds....

Background/History:  Charles "Chuck" Evans was an independent trucker making good money transporting goods across the country.  Then one day he and his rig was ambushed by (insert agency), and local heroes arrived to stop the agents. In the ensuing firefight one agent deliberately targeted his load and it went up in a blaze of fire and smoke.  And chuck was in the centre of it. He somehow survived, but it was obvious that the chemicals were some sort of mutagen, as his skin turned grey and a strange mist curled around him. While in the hospital for tests, he touched a doctor and drained him of vital chemicals needed for survival.  So he ran. Now a Bio-vampire, Misthunter hides in the sewers and slum areas. He needs to hurt humans in order to survive, but as he does not like to kill, he targets gang bangers and criminals. And still his hunger grows. (Misthunter is a creation of Artificer)

 

Personality/Motivation:  He's a good man turned into a monster. A living version of V:tR.  He would prefer to be alone, but his powers make him useful to those who need his abilities.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  He's surrounded by a greyish mist at all times, which he can use to drain people so that he might feed.  He can also shoot out a concentrated ball of this mist that has the same effect. And he can sense human around him like a radar.  All this makes him an effective predator. In general he'll try to get into HtH and let his mist start draining.

 

Campaign Use:  A sympathetic monster.  A tool of others. If he ever finds out that Articifer was responsible for his creation, a possible revenge arc.  

 

Appearance:  180 cm and 83 kg with long grey hair, grey eyes and a week old beard.  He dresses in black jeans with black leather boots.

 

 

 

He's a variation on a classical vampire, with a large dose of modern anguish thrown in.  And he works.  But his point totals are pretty high.  But to get all that he was at, I needed that many points.  The only one I think I went over the top with is his summon animals as 128 animals is a lot.  

 

Power wise some explanations are in order.  The transfers for ease of play should be rolled as normal damage and applied as such, so his ranged version would do 4 body and 14 stun.  This should get any player to squeal in terror as this can be lethal (which it should be)  They'll recover in a few minutes, but meanwhile...  Also this makes him very hard to put down.  If he is killed, his resurrection kicks in.  Its SPFX is that his mist blast strikes the target until he's brought back to full.  Otherwise play him as you would a vampire, hit and run, attacks from strange angles, and diversions from his animals.  

 

Personality wise, he should be a card carrying member of the anguished vampire club, but with good reason.  He is indeed a good man turned into a monster.  This should be played up and the tragedy aspects turned up to 11.  His trying to lose his powers, or get better control over them could be major plot hooks. 

 

Can you tell I like him!

[Mr. R]

He's a slimy example of humanity

Background/History:  Some are born villainous and some have villainy thrust upon them and some few go into villainy of their own free will.  That is Reginald Wagner. He had everything, money, good grades, friends and cold get a date at the drop of a hat. It was this last part that was his problem because after the first date, the girls would avoid him.  hen one day during a particularly hard test, the answers popped into his head. He check into this and soon figured out he was a telepath. Now good grades were too easy, and girls... Well his three friends never seemed to disagree with him.. ever.  Then one of those heroes showed up and after freeing his minions from his control, he found himself in the hospital. A deal was brokered with his parent where Reginald would learn how to use his powers responsibly and ethically in return for leniency.  Reggie had other ideas. Escaping the facility he hid in the underbelly of society and offered his services to various "organisations". So Sinnapse has his fingers in the pies of many unsavory people, all who have a vested interest in keeping him alive and supplied with money and women!

 

Personality/Motivation:  A hedonist and a coward, Reggie just wants it all with minimum effort.  Take Scarface and make him a telepath who controls you mentally and give him all the same decorations.  men he can abuse and ladies who fall down at his fee.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Sinnapse is not a fighter.  At the first sign of trouble he'll run, usually throwing a controlled minion at the hero to distract him.  What he is good at is INFO. Why torture when he can go into you mind and find all those awesome secrets. He's another example of how the villains seem to be one step ahead of the heroes.  

 

Campaign Use:  Fixer for the underworld.  

 

Appearance:  168 cm and 70 kg with long brown hair, brown eyes and a goatee.  His costume various, but is always ostentatious!

 

 

 

 

So you want to introduce an NPC that will guarantee to push the heroes buttons, but seems to be untouchable due to protection, then here's your man.  He has no redeeming features and his activities should make the PC want to hurt him real bad.  But he seems to get away or get someone to but his way out.  

 

Power wise he's a telepath and mind controller.  He doesn't want to take over the world, just make people like him and obey his every whim.  It also makes him so desired by those with underhanded plans.  

 

Personality wise he's a card carrying member of "NOT THE FACE!  NOT THE FACE!"  school.  He's a abject coward and will flee at the first opportunity.  He's not a fighter and will surrender ASAP against people he can't control.

Its a hard thing to be a saviour

Background/History:  The only name on record is Subject 24.  He was a member of India's Untouchable Caste and so was taken off the street and experimented on.  Project Lotus was India's attempt to develop super powers in individuals. 24 as he came to be called took this with a mixture of hindu / Buddhist / British philosophy.  So when the energies started coursing through him, he took it with serenity that he was going to die. But he didn't. The scientists were ecstatic at first until he called down solar fire and obliterated the base.  Then he entered into a period of meditation. When he was attacked by elements of the army, he sensed their fear and pain, and wiped it out in a second. And found his purpose. Life was pain. The end of life was Nirvana.  So people must die to end the cycle. But the cycle would begin again. So instead he needed to end all life. Creation itself must end. So he is now Requiem, and he's going to be your savior. It's a hard job....

 

Personality/Motivation:  A combination Buddhist rebirth ideas added to Nihilist thoughts.  He truly believes that he is saving your soul from untold suffering and pain.

 

Quote:  

 

Powers/Tactics:  Gifted great control over solar fire, he'll set a plan in motion to destroy the planet and then wait for it to come about, interfering only when he feels that it is not going the way he wants.  

 

Campaign Use:  World Destroyer with a grand purpose.  

 

Appearance:  At 213 cm and 182 kg with black skin (like obsidian) and violet orbs for eyes.  His costume is a set of white robes with a large golden collar.

 

 

 

I am of two minds about this NPC. I like the back story. It oozes a NPC who can fight physically or with words. And he is genuine in his convictions. He's a monster, but with the ideas to back it up.

Then we get the powers...... ANOTHER Dynamic Power guy. Seriously, they fall back on this power way too often. Its way too handwavium for me. At least the Dark Queen had her crown for extra effects. But his rank was over the top. Add the stats and its almost like this is the NPC you're not supposed to beat, just drive off. Add that he had a cludge power to simulate his starting a process to destroy the universe (sorry that is GM plot device territory)

So though I can see what they are trying to accomplish, this is one NPC I would never use without serious modification!
