  2. Re: Create a Villain Theme Team! The Children of Shiva tend to keep away from Shiva. Kamadeva saw something after strenuous efforts to penetrate Shiva's mind that persuaded him/her it would be a BAD idea to push it. That and the fact Shiva embarrassed Savitr by calling him his son and cheering him on during one of the Children's exploits. Durgha and Shiva worked out a deal where they stayed out of eah other's way although Durgha did say that if Shiva was to keep doing the daddy's boy bit to Savitr, it would not bother the rest of the team in the slightest.
  3. Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! Grigori Medlev was a promising secret service agent when Yeltsin came to power in Russia. He was secretly sent over to the States to do some work. Said work entailed the liquidation of former Communist sympathisers and sleeper agents who would be embarrassed by the new regime. So Grigori set about his work killing off those who would turn the clock back to the bad old days of the Cold War. In time his work grew to encompass the agents of other powers, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. The people died in accidents be it in cars or justdied of natural causes. There are wonderful poisons that are as yet undetectable. Then Yeltsin was not in power and Putin was. And someone came after Grigori. They weren't that good. Grigori spotted the surveillance and polished them off in an accident. Another agent was dispatched. This one Grigori killed with his own gun. Various agencies became very interested in the odd Russian corpse. Grigori had a meeting with a Russian sent over specifically to speak to him. They found him a new role and a new employer, Vigilance Inc. Grigori is a non descript Russian who has been undercover for a good few years. He is also a cold blooded killer and is quite pragmatic about what he does. There is a reason for what is done and killing does solve the problem. He uses the name Karla as a private joke after the Russian spymaster in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy book. Grigori has taken a particular interest in thwarting the Russian mafia and killing their operatives in car accidents and cerebal haemorrages. He is not that keen on America but this is where the money is and it is also where a good few targets are and you go where the work is.
  4. Re: Create a Villain Theme Team! What happens to the ultimate weapon when there are no more wars to fight ? You get rid of it ! Hurled through time and space he crash landed in the Indian Ocean and eventually came to India. Confused and disorientated, the Indian army and police were able to subdue and imprison him. However he imprinted on them and so adopted their features including caste mark. After a few years the being that has become known as Shiva escaped custody and began his reign of terror over the Indian subcontinent. But as time wore on Shiva realised that he needed help and perhaps he was not being ambitious enough. There was a whole world after all. So Shiva set out to find like minded villains he could work with. He will have India, Pakistan and all the way to Vietnam for himself. Nowadays Shiva appears as a high caste Indian male about 6 feet tall almost perpetually smiling. Even when he is breaking your neck with one hand. Shiva is a medium to high level brick with some martial arts power but takes an awful lot of physical, energy or mental damage to put down. His defenses are 'ungodly' as one person put it. He can't fly unaided nor does he possess movement powers but he can survive almost anything like Outer Space, Re-Entry, the Ocean Depths and Radiation. They'll inconvenience him but not kill him. Shiva has a cult following, speaks English, French, Russian and the various Indian languages. He does take a dim view of betrayal and will go to extreme lengths to punish those that do betray him.

  9. Re: Create a Villain Theme Team! The Cat and the Canary were the premier burglars until The Canary was gunned down by the police when he was exiting a hotel with his girlfriend. The word went out that The Cat gave him up and that was it. The Cat disappeared. Over 60 years later, someone else has taken on the identity of The Cat. A planner and precision burglar they use the same tools and costume that the original did but there are modern twists. This Cat jumped on a rooftop from the street when suddenly surprised by police and slinked away, and no-one is sure whether this Cat is a man or woman. The face and shape is ambiguous as is the voice. The Cat is a founder member and perhaps the most skilled of the group with access to computer skills and B+E skills both past and present but does not have the power to go toe to toe with most martialartists and paranormals. So they rely on gimmicks, gadgets and deception to get away and to win. However the Cat will not tolerate attacks on avians except avians trying to attack Hangtime. Most of the time The Cat will choose the targets but allows the others their say before pointing out whether something would be too violent, too difficult or an obvous trap. The latter was proved when a rival group went for what appeared to be a peach of a job only to run into a SWAT team who took them down. Quoth The Cat 'If it looks easy, and particularly too easy, it's a trap. Nobody is that stupid.'
  10. Re: Create a Villain Theme Team! Paul Spreight is the Reflector. If something comes at him like a bullet or an energy bolt he can turn it back the way it came and worse for the cops, if it is directed at the team he can redirect it back at the cops. Useful against water cannon, bullets and energy blasts. Not so good against a punch to the face. Paul is also a coward and will run if someone looks like coming at him.
  11. Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! Marine Sgt Ted Krauwski should not be alive. The only one of the unit to return, he was shipped back to the States from Afghanistan while ugly rumours circulated that Captain Haskell or Lt Steve Meyers had acted without orders and cost the lives of their men and themselves. If if were not for paranormal intervention Ted would never have reached the States as someone wanted him dead. Ted did not go to Washington, he went to Langley. The CIA gave him all the information he needed and then the Sgt went after those responsible. He killed them all; from the people who leaked the information to those who were covering it up. He was without mercy. Then the CIA introduced him to Vigilance Inc and left it at that. The Sgt still wears fatigues and maintains a military discipline. He looks like a soldier but the uniform won't give you a clue to which army he is now in. He can use any weapon that he Corps used or uses and he can drive a truck but not an AFV or a Tank. He goes by the name Gunny but responds to Sarge. He knows some unarmed combat but can take an awful level of punishment before he goes unconscious or has to pull back. As to the clients woe betide the person or people who mess with the Navy, AirForce, Army, Coast Guard, Marine or Police personnel. Gunny really has a sore spot for that although the same applies to the Fire Brigade and Paramedics/Ambulance crews. But if you hurt a nurse then Gunny will make you a priority and you will not do it again. Ever. Gunny knows his strengths and weaknesses and follows orders but always asks, 'Are you absolutely sure your INTEL is right ?'

  16. Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! It's a Power Rangers spoof so i go with it. That it is one member is fine. Oh and The Samurai is avoiding Sword of the Emporer. He knows more than the team do about her and the Ki-Rin but he won't even discuss this with his team mates so fat chance he talk to the Japanese Government. Once one of Japan's hottest pop stars and really cool guys Hideko Nakajima is a surprising member of the team. He had it all but it all imploded. If you have ever seen Godzilla Final Wars the young alien chief at the end was based on Hideko. He knows it and is not happy about it but has openly said 'I deserved it'. He was luckier than some others where people died or were so mired in corruption and controversy that any sort of comeback is impossible. How he got superpowers is not known and the Government keeps it under wraps. The theory that keeps coming up is that he spent all his money to have it done on the black market or that the Yakuza gave him a poison that was supposed to kill him and it backfired. Hideko has some minor brick abilities and can glide a short distance if he comes off a sufficient height. He actually uses his real name as most people can recognise him and his voice is distinctive. He has contacts and with a smile or a hand shake can usually get people to at least treat him and the group with leniency. Part of this is to do with footage of him being berated about by people he let down and then saying they were right and at the time he was an idiot and he apologised which he had previously laughed off when he was a J Pop star. Part of it is also the fact that he jumped into the way and took bullets and energy damage that would have killed ordinary people and this also was caught on camera. He's Hideko, he's not country wide and he's trying to rebuild his bad boy rep. His toy is one of the best selling of the team but then people spend time destroying it. Similarly with posters of him. Hideko knows and is upset but some of the money goes to charities so he said, 'Let them do it'.

  19. Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! Quick question. Does Go Squad count as one character or five ? The team needed to have a Samurai to feed the national stereotype, right ? Well what it got was something quite unexpected. On one mission broke a painting that an opponent was trying to use against him as an improvised weapon. A mist sprang from the remains and despite the efforts of Shinsengumi it vanished. Some days later a Samurai warrior appeared complete with banner and horse, except the horse was a Ki-Rin. The Samurai gave a letter to the government representative and was allowed to join the team. However they did not speak at all. Their proficiency with weapons seemed adequate until one of the first combats with paranormals when the Samurai was able to deflect blasts of energy either with weapons or seemingly to cut the blast in half. They were also able to ride out blows from bricks that would have killed a normal person or disabled a paranormal. However they did suffer injury that required medical attention and that was when the other mmbers of the team found out that their colleague was a woman. This did not sit well with Eternal Sun but the woman wrote a challenge. If he could defeat her then she would leave. If he could not then he would accept it. Despite what the others tried to do Eternal Sun accepted. The duel should have been one sided as the Samurai stood against Eternal Sun without armour or weapons just a martial arts unform. When he shot her she just stood and took it and nothing happened. She simply bowed. So to Sun's chagrin the Samurai is a member. Known to the media as Sword of the Emporer, the Samurai clings to traditions; Ancestor worship and honour being the main ones but she writes on paper never a typewriter or a computer. The Ki-Rin appears occasionally but not often. She is proficient with most fuedal era weapons but can break guns or blasters with a precise strike. She has a hatred of the Yakuza and then anyone who does not act honourably. She does not use modern technology whether phones or radioes, cameras or computers. She tends to back up Wa if not ordered or asked to do anything else. The team have noted that Mind Control and Telepathy have little or no effect on her at all but a mental blast would still affect her. The team are investigating just what that painting was as they have seen the mist emanate from her on a couple of missions although it did not go far. As far as official records go her fingerprints and picture are not on file so apparantly she does not exist. She and Eternal Sun have a Hate/Hate relationship. He will upbraid her in front of the team and she will unmask (if wearing her armour) and raise an eyebrow and seemingly shake her head in disgust at him. She understands other languages like several types of Chinese, Korean, French and Russian. She has some trouble understanding English. She has no problem with foreigners with one exception. She sees tattooes she automatically thinks Yakuza.
  20. Re: Complicate the Person Above Narratio was suspected of being the 'Water Diviner Killer'. Basically these people who divined for water with sticks formed into a Y ended up dead with the Sticks rammed into their stomachs. A hot tip lead to the oil industry and thus Narratio. However the charges were never proven.
  21. Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! You don't remember White Plains Arizona do you ? Felix Arundman does. You will not find it on any map but what you will find is a large area of dead ground. No living thing plant or animal for miles just dust. You don't remember The Adversity do you and how his power ran out of control ? Felix Arundman does. Felix tried to stop The Adversity and gained superpowers which were then boosted to unheard of levels. During the battle Felix drained the lifeforce from every living thing in a 10 mile radius and erased the Adversity from reality. He also erased all knowledge of White Plains from people, maps and all records. Felix gave himself up after that. He can't control the power and it is frighteningly dangerous. He mourns alone the people he knew, worked with and loved. The Army keeps him sedated and off the books. They have a recording of what happened at White Plains and want to ensure it never happens again. Several people who have tried to use Felix as a weapon have died, violent horrible deaths before they even got near him and Felix remains in a troubled sleep.
