Altess villians

Unread post by Nxla666 »

I was reading through the Altess description and decided to use a group of them as villains.

Now sitting there at my table trying to come up with an angle to use them as I was drawing a blank until one word popped into my head...


Spyrer

Bah. Immortality and marriage are just 2 things that should never mix. Any kind of prolongued lifespan shouldn't be burdened with monogamy.- Alejandro

I take it your not familiar with Necromunda? :lol:


Spyrers are basically bored nobles who go on "safaris" hunting sentient beings.

Necromunda: ah well, "Space Marine" and Lexandro Arquebus...

But yeah, Altess have done for ages (dynasties :D ) what
Thraxxus have just begun to do...

Also, they do a good deal of industrial and political espionage
(usually by proxy, but sometimes an Altess has to do thing
by himself to get them done) both because it provides
entertainment, both because it serves their long term survival.

And they do plan for long range.

Adios

No idea. I'm not at all familiar with it! :D
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"

"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."

"As you will it, your Grace."

Gadrin, that sounds like an interesting group!

More likely, they will be working for the Altess
(you know: a peoxy).

Anyways, Altess as a rule do not kill each other.

Is that directed at Gadrin or me?

If its me, then yes they would if it was a PC organization, but since its not, nope. :lol:

Though I have started a bit of a write up on them for possible submisson to the Rifter.
