    Tigereye got a reaction from Christopher in Quote of the Week from my gaming group...   
    From my Teen Champions game:
     
    Nimisha: I hate when two crows get together. It's like attempted murder.
     
    From the World Watchers game:
     
    Nightstriker (having blew his roll to make his elixir which gives him his superpowers): Now I have to visit about a half-dozen places to get the damn ingredients again!
    Israfil: (starts singing "Super Chicken" theme)

    He will drink his super sauce
    And throw the bad guys for a loss
    And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (puk, puk, puk)
    There is one thing you should learn
    When there is no one else to turn to
    Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk)
    Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!)

    Battle Royale on the Moon. Heroes teleport up to get a monolith to take back with them (yes, one of those monoliths) only to see a battle for the artifact already in progress. Space pirate/slavers vs. Earth supervillains vs. Oblivo-bots.
     
    Spark, after an obese space pirate punctured her spacesuit with his 4-meter-long tongue :
    EW! You wanna taste of me, Fat Elvis? OK!
    (Unleashes a pushed 28D Normal Energy blast which blows the guy across the lunar regolith into a trench of his own making, then she teleports back to earth with her suit depressurizing - good thing he had 15 ED and 25% Damage Reduction built in, or he'd be a smear on the Moon).
     
    Reboot uses Cyberkinesis to seize control of the pirate ship's computer and takes control of its tractor beam, using it to fling several Oblivobots and a large, lizardlike pirate they are attacking into the next large crater over a kilometer away.

    Rosco Yonder was a simple small time criminal with a big mouth when Algol found him about to be rubbed out by his fellow criminals for his inability to keep his big mouth shut. Algol stoped time and offered Rosco his help, if he pledged himself to him. Rosco agreded, and Algol atached the demon of Procyon to him. Rosco used the powers involved to kill all the other thugs, then founded that his new form lacks a mouth (not that he needs one anymore, but the inability to talk is the only downside Rosco sees in this).
    Power wise, Procyon is a 'anti-sonic', that is, able to absorb all sonic and sound around himself. Sonic effects do not hurt him in the least (100% Sonic Damage Reduction). He can even make others unable to speak for short periods of time (Transformation), teleport by changing his body to 'anti-sound', absorb all sound in an area (Darkness vs Sound), and even absorb the sound he would of normally make (Invisibility vs Sound). He is still a talented cat burglar. He would of told you that himself, but he cannot.

    Robert Gigus, "Regulus the Great", was a professional stage magician. Well, not to great. In fact, his act is so bad, he is offen mistaken for a comedian. One day, he risked life and limb to try to steal a honest to goodness magical grimour, only to be stopped by a magical superhero.
     
    So, sitting in jail, he decided to no longer care. And Aglol came to him, to bind him with the demon of Regulus so he can spread his not caring to others as Regulus.
     
    Regulus can manipulate the minds of others to promote the not caring spirit. From illusions designed to make the exter-ordernary appear ordernary, to emotion control, to drain PRE.

    While some of the group might have been human once no-one truely believes that Cor Scorpii is human or ever was human. It is bad enough that he resembles a giant scorpion and can inflict death or disability via the sting but he can also cast spells. This was a nasty surprise the first time the group came under attack and Algol was so hard pressed that the heroes had a chance of winning when the scorpion threw several powerful spells out at all and sundry. The spells tend to either destructive or defensive in nature, there is no room for sophistication in the world of Cor Scorpii. So why is he not the boss or second in command ? Simple. He is not leadership material. Brute force, certainly but no vision for the future and no gift for inspiring others. He is better used as a threat as Algol has demonstrated on more than one occasion.
    Cor Scorpii is interested in all forms of holy objects and antiquaries not just those which provoke destruction or salvation, including those that are small and frail and would have to be used by the others.
    As for the seven deadly sins he is most interested by wrath which he can provoke by hurting someone either with his poison stinger or by a spell, pride which he can invoke by goading someone to attack him to show how good they are by taking him down, and lastly avarice which he provokes by setting up something like a hoard like Smaug's treasure in the Hobbit and then letting the bait come to him.
    Algol has never said when and where he found the giant scorpion nor how he got his powers. Nor why the scorpion follows Proycon's orders although Spica said that Algol told him to and it never thought to question that.

    Victor Cambria as Vulturs Cadens acts as the group's on site transportation. Sometimes Teleportation from base is off. That's when they need to be able to fly. His power allows him to also control any object in the air as well. Many a flying super have been directed into walls before they could get things under control.
     
    Victor is working on improving his top speed and directional control so that he can use ordinary objects as bullets.

    Elphiea, Elly Feas, thinks she can control supernatural creatures to do her bidding through effigies. This might be true to some existing supernatural creatures. Most real supernatural creatures are just out of her range. In effect, while she can mind control one of Tyrannon's base soldiers, she will never be able to control a throne, much less the demonic conqueror himself.
     
    What she really does is summon chtonic material from the Abyss and shape it into a semblance of the creature she is trying to mimic and uses that. An angel would be full of light and heat but be no more the real thing than a sun lamp.
     
    It has earned her the derisive nickname Pokemon Master.

    Alkaid was once better known as Meriem Ha'aqua, a serving girl in a Moroccan casino.  Treated poorly by her employers, she was constantly on the edge of starvation.  She began filching food from the buffet set out for the casino guests.  Eventually she was caught, and the casino's cruel owner poured a caustic mixture down her throat as an "ironic" method of murder.  It was at this point that her powers kicked in, allowing her to spew acids or alkaline mixtures from her mouth and nose.  She took over the casino for a short while, until the owner's silent partners showed up with ways to counter her abilities.
     
    She was barely alive when the Behanians collected her for their group.  Her interest is in items that create food and drink, locking them away from the world so that no one can enjoy them--as her powers have destroyed her senses of taste and smell.

    Algol was once a small time mystical supervilian named the Alven Benjamin, better know as The Arcanist. Being tiered of consently being defeated and jailed because of his limited magical skills (he could only use magical items), he swiped a book in prison which was a disguised mystical book about the demonic spirits which made up the Beenmen. Calling to Aglol, the demon of Aglol answer, by taking over his body. He then excaped from prison and worked for years on using his magic to make his host worthy of holding his spirit.
     
    Aglol has a mission. His superiors need magic tp feed upon to survive. So, Aglol and his servents work on draining all magic from the Earth, all for his masters endless feast.

    Geniah really does not like the others but what Algol says goes. That and the fact that her powers enable good teamwork really kind of gets to her. Her dark imps are a good reconnaisance tool but it was made clear to her that Algol knows EXACTLY what they say and any attempt to 'misinterpret' or 'willfully omit' what they reported would result in 'difficulty' for her.
    Geniah would pick on Cauda but then that would mean she could be abandoned;
    She would pick on Alkaid but Alchameth can make their power greater and retribution would be hard to avoid;
    Similarly Alchameth might be simply one of the others using a different guise so Geniah cannot pick on them without it possibly being one of the others instead;
    Pleiades could easily gang up on her and has the power to inflict a rather nasty surprise on her;
    although Aldaboram, Hircus and Spica are more powerful or skillful fighters, she can outwit all but Spica;
    Procyon uses her powers to cover his activities but also to throw people off who have met the group before as they attack the dark field which is not where he is, not that Geniah likes this one bit;
    Cor Scorpii could neutralise her powers or inflict a painful disability on her and any hint that she was intent on using him against Algol was nipped in the bud by Procyon once mentioning it in front of everyone as an example of treachery or mind control by an outside force;
    What Vultur could do to her concerns her if she tried anything against him;
    she hates Regulus as she thinks he has used his powers on her more than once and she did not notice (or it could be Algol and Procyon messing with her head);
    she finds herself beneath Elpheia's notice which suits her fine after seeing who the latter could control;
    And if Sopdu is deployed they often need her to give backup if his power gets out of control or is used against them;
     
    She often puts a dark field around their enemies and raises it so that it covers them from chest up allowing the others to get in and beat them mercilessly. She can also throw up dark fields which isolate individuals in order to stop them using their powers on the team. Geniah's obsession is with any item that might boost her own powers of darkness or those that control light. While corrupting the latter is a usual tactic, it would also allow the team not to have to be around Sopdu, which is something she is keen on. Also she has an idea to corrupt a darkness device that an enemy would then try and use on the group and thus backfire terribly. But she has half an eye on getting away from the group. But with the leaders, and Spica around, this does not seem likely.

    I realy have to catch up to Death Tribble.
     
    Before the invasion of Earth, the demon of Algol sent the demon of Pleiades out to Earth to find a suitiable host, Once there, she entered the womb of Mary Leads, a teenage girl of very religous stock. Seven mounths lader, she gave birth to seven girls, one which was born stillborn. And, Mary, who thought that she was giving birth to the next savier, died.
     
    The six girls, given the names Pure, Penelopie, Pauleen, Prude, Passion, and Palma (the seventh, being 'dead' was never given a name) was rejected by there famaly, and all of them went to foster cair at difrent houses. They learned difrent things, and sometimes seemed to talk to themselves. In acuality, all seven minds were linked as one. When Algol finaly appered, they destroyed there foster famalies and found him.
     
    All parts of Pleiades can fly. The unamed sister is also invisable and intangable, only able to be affected by the most holy of magic. All sisters can access one of seven powers. If one sister has the power, no other sister can use it till the other sister is done with it. The powers are:
     
    1) The ability to disintergrate solid mater on touch.
    2) The ability to shoot one of seven types of energy (Blast with Variable Special Effects).
    3) The ability to cause pain by touch (Blast, NND - Unable To Feal Pain).
    4) The ability to cause blindness by touch.
    5) The ability to shrink.
    6) The ability to grow.
    7) The ability to entangle targets in one of seven sustances (Entangle with Variable Special Effects).
    (Game wise, this is a VVP, but with one of seven set effects. Sister seven needs to apply Affects Real World on her powers, but not so the others).
     
    What makes them intresting is there group mind. What one knows, all know. That makes them hard to affect with mental powers. But that is also a weakness, as if one is affected by mental powers, then ALL are afected by mental powers.

    Herbert Acuris was posesed by the demon of Hibius. A former Driving Instructer when he was human, he still remembers how to drive. He is a rival of Aldaboram, always trying to prove th Algol that he is stronger and tougher than the ram. In reality, he is not as strong or sturdy as his rival, and can not do the strength tricks his rival can. Instead, he is faast, and can use his speed to do speedster tricks (imagien speed punches by a brick, or being able to strike everyone in a small radious around him...scary thought).
     
    Like Aldaboram, Hibius is extrmly loyal to Algol. And both of them are able to put aside there rivaly for the good of Algol. They will pick it up later, thoe.

    Cauda Capricorni is Casey Castle. He was recruited for his power to imprint on others and travel with them. He accidently entered the Behanian reaches and had his mind warped beyond recognition. He spent some time being locked down in an asylum before being freed. His power automatically imprints on members of the Behanians and he uses that for escapes for his new family.

    Alchameth tends to stay behind the lines and so is unnoticed most of the time. Indeed it is not known whether they are a man or a woman. They have exploited this by appearing in disguise as a man and later as a woman. They can boost Alkaid's powers and if need be can reduce or negate them. They are also very useful in starting a minor chemical reaction which they can then boost. It is surmised that they have at least degree level chemistry skills but maybe more. But were they really come into their own is that they create fabled items from alchemical folklore like an elixir of life, a philosopher's stone and being able to turn base metals into silver or gold. This latter has meant that the group has not lacked for funds if a job has gone wrong. Although the philosopher's stone apparantly gives the same powers Alchameth uses it for something else entirely and can turn gold or silver into lead or create an elixir of death with the stone. Nothing is known of their relationship with the others but no observation has been noted of their untrustworthiness to their colleagues or their prowess in a fight which is overshadowed by the others.

    No-one knows what, or who, sent Susan Adams off the rails. Algol might know but he is not saying. She had good grades and looked like being a potential selection for the US Olympic team at a number of different sports. And then it all went spectacularly wrong. She was accused of taking recreational drugs and of sleeping with tutors to get better marks. This went global with hysterical headlines ordering her deportation from the States on the grounds that she was a corrupting influence to all the youth of America. Distraught and abandoned by everyone, she could not even get work in a homeless shelter or citizen's advice bureau, a man took pity on her and suggested that she get a book from the library on self help and assertiveness. Unfortunately the book ended up with at the Smithsonian was to put it mildly a tad unusual. It was a Sumerian work which Susan could suprisingly read. It contained knowledge that she eagerly devoured. And then she went in search of occult shops. Not the usual ones but the real ones. And that is where the trouble began.
    Susan reappeared as Spica. Her first fight should have been her last were it not for the fact that she was using a cursed weapon which would not let the hero who disarmed her do anything else but wield it. He had to be restrained from killing civilians, police officers and his own colleagues. Susan got away. And with more training and more research she got better. She prefers using polearms but now implies that any weapon in her hands is deadly to all. She found Algol and let him know in no uncertain terms she was 'tired of waiting for him to come get her or summon her'. Now she dresses like an evil version of the goddess Athena and exults in her evil.

    Aldebaran was once a human named Albert Bran. He was given by Algol the demon of Aldebaran, which changed him completely. Their is vary little humanity left. His low intelligence is not exactly correct...he is intelligence and cunning when it comes to dealing out pain. He is confused by modern pieces of technology.
     
    Power wise, he is extremely strong, and hard to hurt. He can use his strength in smart but bizarre ways. He can cause shockwaves in any large object by hitting it. He can drive people into the ground or other large object (Entangle). He can easily crush a normal human head in one of his hands. He is so strong that he can punch the air, and the victim can still feal it. Of course that is not all he can do, just the stuff he can do the most offen.

    I apologize if I broke protocol. One at a time, if you so please; I need details filled in and I can't think of three in a row, let alone 15. (Yes, they're for a big party. No, I probably won't run more than a half-dozen at once. Algol is meant to be a semi-Big Bad, but he needs the rest to function well, too.)
     
    If you want to take one of them and run with them, even changing the origins a bit or powers completely, that's fine; just don't change the names. Think of them as the children of R'as Al Ghul or Dark Destroyer or something like that. I love surprises. Each of them has a gemstone and a plant associated with them, the details are on Wiki, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behenian_fixed_star. However, I don't want them to be associated in a new-agey, tween-girl-and-gemstones kind of way. (I admit that would be creepy in its own right, but that would be too funny at first, and I don't want them funny.)

    The Behenians: Received their power from a magical being (or beings; they aren't saying). Named for the fifteen "fixed" or "rooted" stars which strongly influence the planets in their vicinity.
     
    Algol: The head of the group. Demonic, with a suite of powers of deception and chaos. Leads by any means possible, ethically or not. Pleiades: Divides into seven, each "sister" with a different, random set of powers (one - probably the "core body" - always has Invisibility). She can't control what powers her "sisters" have. Aldaboram: Brick with horns. Resembles a minotaur. Beware the head-butt. Hircus: Looks like Aldaboram, but not nearly as strong. Makes up for it by being faster and smarter. Has goat's horns and feet. Can drive vehicles. Sopdu: Living up to his name, "The Scorcher" or "The Sharp One" fires star plasma at nearly 10,000 degrees Celsius. Hurts just to look at him (minor Vision Group Flash, No END, all the time). Not the sneakiest sort, but the Behenians bring him in when they want an area well illuminated. Procyon: Stealthy cat-burglar sort. Powers of silence and minor teleportation, although not visual invisibility. Acts as Algol's ADC (his dogsbody, if you will). Regulus: Mind-controller and illusionist. Strangely, his powers are limited to making people feel blase about what's going on around them, even if they are to be the sacrifice at a ritual. Alkaid: Can spit acid or strong alkaline substances to affect almost any target. Fond of sodium hydroxide and other lye products. Gienah: She controls darkness and can summon dark imps. Spica: Cursed/Unholy weapons mistress extraordinaire. Fond of polearms. Dresses like an evil Athena. Alchameth: A powerful alchemist, able to control normal chemistry as well. Elpheia: Elpheia is a voodoo cultist with a twist - She can control a godly being (angels, avatars, heralds, etc.), given time and the ability to make a figure of the being. Mere mortals are normally beneath her contempt - and she cannot affect their behavior worth a tinker's damn anyway. The only ones worth manipulating are the clergy of any faith. Cor Scorpii: Resembling a giant scorpion, he strikes with a poisonous tail. Also is the second-most-powerful spellcaster of the group, behind Algol himself. Vultur Cadens: The Tail of the Vulture can provide himself and his fellows with the power of flight, if only temporarily. The faster the flight, the shorter the period they can fly. When he's feeling nasty, he will bestow it upon his opponents who cannot fly - or cause those who can to go out of control. Cauda Capricorni: The least overtly powerful of the group, Capricorn's Tail is the supporting member, usually responsible for monitoring the lair's activities and keeping them up-to-date with technology (which many are unfamiliar with), and keeps them well supplied. He has one major power, however - he can detect his fellow members and teleport them to and from him, anywhere in the world or in the Behenian reaches. (He can also teleport to them and away from them in support.)  
    The Behenians are obsessed with holy objects and antiquaries, collecting them as to prevent their use by others. They don't destroy them, as they sometimes can also pervert their function or use them as hostages. They also engage in other thefts and love to engage in breaking the Seven Deadly Sins, and getting others to join them. Note that none of them are a "healer" as such, although Alchameth can provide potions of such when it pleases her (everybody stays on her good side for this reason.)
