COMMANDO ED

Real Name: Ray Edmonds
Assumed Identity: Ed Crane
Occupation: Magnetic crane operator at a scrap yard by day. Vigilante and City Protector.
Alignment: Scrupulous
Power Category: Experiment with Super Invention
Experience Level: 4th
Hit Points: 80 S.D.C.: 225
P.P.E.: 30
Appearance: During the night, he dresses in a black jump suit, belt, and combat gear.
Ed is a clean cut, well-muscled male in his early thirties. He keeps his blond hair in a military
buzz cut and his has brown eyes. He is a heavy cigar smoker.
Attributes: I.Q. 17, M.E. 14, M.A. 12, P.S. 45, P.P. 35, P.E. 36, Spd. 33, P.B. 15
Age: 28, Sex: Male, Height: 5 foot, 10 inches (1.7 m), Weight: 180 lbs (81 kg).
Insanity: Ed has a phobia of anyone who wears military camouflage/fatigues or if he is
around a large explosion. He must deal with a phobia panic whenever he encounters these
situations. His co-works are certain that Ed suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (shell
shock).
Minor Super Abilities: Energy Resistance, Extraordinary P.S., Extraordinary P.P., and
Extraordinary P.E. Note: He can carry 4500 lbs (2025 kg) and lift 9000 lbs (4050 kg).
Super Invention: The SPECK 16. A.R. 15 and 200 S.D.C. Repairs are expensive thus
the reasons he bangs on it. 5th level in power.
Super Abilities: Diminish Other and Tractor Beam (Special). The Speck 16 has the
power to reduce the size of living objects to 1/16 of an inch (same as minute speck under
the Major Super Ability-Shrink). Only a saving throw of 16 or better (can resist with P.E.
attribute bonus only) prevents the person/animal from being shrunk. Once shrunk, the person
suffers the usual abilities of those under Reduced Mass/Minute Speck. Only the victim
shrinks, not clothes, equipment, or weapons. P.S. of the victim is 3 (reduce all physical
damage by half, even if supernatural). The victim reverts to normal size in 24 hours. If the
victim fails his/her saving throw and gets shrunk the tractor beam will automatically draw
them into the rifle’s butt which contains a compartment that holds a clear four-inch long
capsule with micro-air holes (even smaller then the victim). The container has A.R. of 12 and
200 S.D.C. The container can be removed with the victim inside. Without the container,
victim can be shrunk but the tractor beam will not fire. Two to three dozen people can be
contained in the capsule at 1/16 of an inch.
Vulnerability: Ed doesn’t really understand how the gun works. He has a 81% chance
of making it work right each time he fires the gun. If it doesn’t work, he bangs it against a
hard surface (1D4 times) and tries again (loses an action in the process). If it fails again, he
tries again. A third failure and he will switch to something else (his commando training or
his .45).

Combat Training: Commando

I've pretty much combed over CS and GI and posted EVERYBODY I could fine (see
above). The only people I didn't were the dead because--they're dead. I think the only
acceptions I made where Mr. Komodo, Timeline, and Gilgamesh from CS Centurions (page
106) becaue those NPC could be seen as important to adventure scenarios. And of course all
the heroes and villains from WW 2 mentioned under Britannia in GI (page 134-135). I believe
you might be refering to the heroes slain by Ellis MacCrae of SHOCK (CS page 102). No I
have no intension of doing stats of dead heroes killed by SHOCK, but I wouldn't object to
anyone else doing them. Cool characters are always nice to see. I'm going to have some free
time soon, so I'll have several Rifter 9 1/2 guys posted soon.

Okay Lights Out has turned out to be one of the hardest guys I've ever had to convert and
stay within game rules :-? , so I had to give him the following Major Super Ability.

LIGHT CONTROL

The ability to control and manipulate light and energy waves.

1. Create Light. The character can generate light that is the equivalent of 50 watts per
level of experience (average light bulb is 75 watts). At first level, this is enough to light up a
10x10 foot (3x3 m) room. The character can choose to radiate the light around his body like
a living light bulb or generate it into a concentrated beam of white light like a flash light.
Range: 10x10 foot (3x3 m) per level of experience or beam of white light 20 feet (6 m) per
level of experience. Bonus: The light beam is +3 to strike.

2. Blinding Light. The character can increase the intensity of existing white light/sunlight to
the point it becomes blinding (so much so that even closing ones eyes will have no effect) or
the character can generate a sudden burst of intense white light, which produces a blinding
effect. A saving throw can be made against the blinding flash (a roll of 16 or better is needed
on a 1D20, no bonuses are applicable). Range: Altering the intensity has a range of 10 feet
(3 m) per level of experience. The blinding flash is only effective at close range 10 feet (3
m). Damage: Those blinded by the light are -8 to strike, parry, and dodge. Duration: The
increase in intensity can be maintained for one melee per level of experience, but uses up
two attack/actions. The blinding flash counts as a single melee attack. The blinding flash is
+3 to strike.

3. Partial Darkness. The character can decrease the intensity of existing white light/sunlight
to the point it becomes almost black as night, equal to a single matchstick. Range: 10 feet (3
m) per level of experience. Damage: While not effective as true darkness, those in obscure
light are -5 to strike, parry, and dodge. Duration: The decreased intensity can be maintained
for one melee per level of experience, but takes up two attacks/actions.

4. Bend Light. Same as the minor super ability. The Blank Spot can be used to make the
character “invisible” or “conceal” a 10 foot (3 m) area of effect. Parrying/Deflecting lasers
and light beams are still rolled just like a normal parry with a +5 bonus. It should also be
noted that infrared and ultraviolet light are affected just like normal white light (meaning the
character is also “invisible” to infrared and ultraviolet detection. Duration: The Blank Spot can
be maintained for one melee per level of experience, but takes up two attacks/actions. Note:
It takes a Perception Roll of 18 or better to notice the blank anomaly otherwise the character
or object is invisible (-6 to strike, parry, and dodge).

5. Strobe Light. The character creates a dazzling display of swirling, changing colors that
bedazzle the victim who happens to be starring at it. The effect can be hypnotic (roll a
saving throw of 14 or better, can use M.E. attribute bonus) causing onlookers to become so
oblivious to everything around them, unless they are attacked/grabbed, but even then the
victim still moves at half speed and attacks/actions are is -3 to all combat rolls, as long as
the light show continues. Range: 60 feet (18 m), with a 10 foot (3 m) area of effect.

6. Bonuses:
Increase the range and damage of any additional power that is Light-or Laser based by 30%
(Energy Expulsion: Light for example).
Impervious to light/laser attack, and suffer only ½ damage from particle beams, ion,
and radiation attacks. Takes full damage from fire, heat, sonic, and electricity/lightning.
Cannot be blinded by any means.

I haven't statted them all out yet, but that is my national team.


Long time listener, first time poster.. After looking over this thread for ideas, I came across this post. Mephisto - it looks like you left out a province.. Manitoba!! Being a Winnipegger, I was sorta upset at this fact. If you're looking for a character name for Manitoba, why not Keystone (we are the Keystone province after all), or you could always create the Blue Bomber :) (Gotta get in my favorite football team somehow...)

Either way, I think you've got some great ideas in this (and every other thread)..

After a 15 year hiatus from HU, I'm just getting back into it now that my kids are at an age that they can appreciate gaming (that doesn't involve an Xbox, PS3 or Wii). This forum has been a wealth of information, and I'm glad to see it's still going strong.. Keep up the good work guys.. Hopefully I'll have some characters of my own to post soon (after I convert 'em all from revised to 2nd ed.)

You know one day I'm not going to speak without putting my foot in my mouth. It seems I
have found EVEN more superheroes/villains in Gramercy Island listed only by name. You'd
think since I've been doing this for nearly a year and a half that I find them all. Nope it
turns out. So over the next few weeks they will be appearing on your favorite post for
HU NPCs. As usual I will be listing the page number so you can find their reference. So look for them.

Okay here we go again, this villain is mentioned on page 31 of GI. Enjoy.

TENPENNY

At the age of nine, Quincy Tenpenny’s family moved to Victory City from Reading, England
in the hope of seeking out the American Dream. His father got a job at Zane Industries
which had already built 90% of the city. His father worked hard to provide for the family.
Tenpenny attended one of the many Zane Enterprise funded schools. For whatever reason,
Tenpenny found himself the victim of being bullied. Being a kid who used hands and tinkered
with construction tools made him a nerd among other nerds who were into computers,
electronics, and video games. He preferred the industrial and engineering class. In fact he
proved to be smarter then his engineering and technology teachers. Then one day he came
home from high school and learned his father had been killed on a job site. Emotionally
devastated Tenpenny withdrew into himself. A week later, some bullies decided to mess
around with his class project in his Architectural C.A.D. When he found his model of a
building, he saw a plastic figuring hanging off the side, which he took to represent his
father who’d been killed when his safety equipment proved faulty. Enraged he demanded to
know who’d done it. No one not even for the teacher would confess. Days later Tenpenny
came to school with his father’s nail gun and began shooting at the students and his
teacher demanding they confess. Tenpenny was taken down by security officers, but he’d
wounded over a dozen students. The incident got him expelled from school and sent to a
juvenile dentition center. At the center, his rage against the world grew ever stronger.
After being released, he seemingly disappeared for three long years.

He soon returned pulling off small time robberies using a modified staple gun and one
that 'fired pennies. He also made contact with several inmates at the Victory City
Penitentiary and helped them smuggle in parts and blue prints to create weapons, to which
he is paid a small fee. Before long his criminal enterprise became a lucrative one. Then one
day an inmate at the prison told him how an inmate at Gramercy Island built a super nail
gun. Eager to see this weapon and wanting to ensure he was going to be pushed out of his
niche, Tennypenny went to Century Station to get himself one. After acquiring one, he
decided to make some improvements on the design and make a rifle version. Back in Victory
City, he used this new weapon to kill two superheroes (Black Zephyr and Dark Arrow) and a
police officer. This crime has moved Tenpenny from on from a minor nuisance to a
dangerous super villain. With Victory City slowly rebuilding itself, Zane Enterprises
wants this tool-totting villain off its streets as soon as possible.

JACK SCRATCH

Jack Scratch grew up dirt poor in Quincy Flats of Century Station. All his life he wanted to
have what others in the Silver City possessed. He spent most of his time at Century Station
Public Library trying to learn anything that would make him money. One day he met an
elderly man who was able to copy the signatures of others right out of a book. Jack sat
down next down to him and asked him how he did it. The man agreed to show him, if he
helped him with some odd jobs. Those jobs turned out to be counterfeiting. Jack soon
learned the art of forgery. Before long he didn’t have to earn money, he made it himself.
Jack used the money to pay for his schooling at Copernicus University. Later he left for the
University of Massachusetts (Darthmouth) to earn his Masters’ Degree in Electrical
Engineering. All the while, he was perfecting his counterfeiting techniques. Shortly after his
graduation, he used his money to build a small, secret factory to mass-produce it. By the
time, the US Secret Service found out about him and destroyed the facility. Jack Scratch
had entered over one trillion counterfeit dollars into circulation, none of which could
differentiate from the real thing. Meanwhile Jack Scratch is now using his counterfeit
millions to travel to the world to sell his trade with rogue nations willing to pay him for his
secrets. The U.S. government is downplaying the harm he has done on the global economy,
but it is definitely substantial. He is considered by all branches of the U.S. Intelligence
Services and Department of Homeland Security to being one of the most dangerous super
villains around with an impact far greater then any other.

KENDRICK NGORONGORO

Kendrick Ngorongoro has a tragic tale created by his own criminal ambition. He worked at
Nova Dynamics, one of Century Station’s major firms in the production of computer
technology and commercial/cosmetic cybernetics. They were also responsible for the
creation of a Realty Enforcement System used in 30% of the super computers used in the
United States. Kendrick was the company’s Chief Science Officer (CSO), which made him
the head of research and development and new technologies. Kendrick also served on the
Council of Industry in Century Station, namely because being half American/half Japanese,
it was thought he could serve as a better communicator for the company. But above it all,
Kendrick was a super genius when it came to electronics and cybernetics. He had dozens of
ideas. In fact, he dreamed of a day, Nova Dynamics would become the MicroSoft of
cosmetic implants and attachments to bio-systems, computer jacks, optics, and sensory
devices. Yet that all changed once the Daedalus Incident occurred. As it turned out, Nova
Dynamics’ Realty Enforcement System and its cyberjacking technology was alien in origin.
This exiled the company out of the Council of Industry because of anti-alien hysteria. The
other executives at Nova Dynamics blamed Kendrick for all the problems because he was
the one who associated with Dr. Leopold Sarnhoff. Kendrick was not only fired, but his
name was dragged through the mud so no other company wanted to touch him. Feeling
betrayed, Kendrick decided to make the company pay for his disgrace. With the corporation
deep in dept and looking for a means to get out of it, the Board decided to make the
company’s stock go public. Kendrick hacked into the New York Stock Exchange and caused
massive havoc on the trading floor. Blame for the incident fell upon the company and it
effectively finically crippled them. Nonetheless, Kendrick was arrested and sent to prison at
Gramercy Island.

At the prison, Kendrick was given a chance to make good by working and tutoring inmates
at the Computer & Robotics Center. While at the lab, he came upon an idea. He invented a
micro-servo system that when applied to any cyborg or robot radically increased its
strength in the arms and legs. Before long, word spread of this invention to various
corporations who pressured the Century Station DA’s office into giving Kendrick an early
release. Bowing to the pressure, Kendrick was released. A helicopter came to pick him up to
transport him back to the city, but instead the helicopter seemingly disappeared. No one
knows what happened to Kendrick. He has not been seen or heard from since. In truth,
Kendrick was taken to the city of Ultropolis by an unnamed criminal mastermind who is
forcing him to develop and build an army of experimental super robots to take over the city.

DODGEMAN

George Hershall grew up on the rough city streets of Zericho. At age eleven, his big brother
Banks brought him into the Colorgang called the Gangs of Adventure. Over the next couple
of years, the Colorgang engaged in all sorts of criminal activity, selling and manufacturing
drugs, auto thief, prostitution, and fencing. All the while, George was learning from his
brother. Days after his eighteenth birthday, the Gangs of Adventure found themselves in a
full out war against the Razor Jacks. By the time, CS SWAT and the Sector Squad show up,
both gangs had pretty much killed each other off, accept for George. He was taken to
Gramercy Island. Feeling grief for the lost of his brother and the pointlessness of his life,
George decided to start fresh. His good behavior earned him a chance to work at the
Building Construction industrial Center. Here George excelled at learning the construction
industry. In fact, he became so good he learned to turn his prison education into a means
that would allow him to break into any building by exploiting its structural weaknesses. In
the beginning, George willingly worked with firmed that hired Gramercy Island inmates to
help build correctional facilities and test their designs for weaknesses. Eventually he
graduated from the program and became a free man. But instead of returning to the firm,
George struck out on his own, creating his own criminal enterprise consisting of him
breaking into high security buildings and stealing whatever he could take with him. Despite
being a normal human, George became so good at being a criminal everyone naturally
assumed he possessed super abilities. George took the rumor and ran with it calling himself
Dodgeman. Presently, George has managed to still millions of dollars and spent all of it on
himself, giving him a luxury lifestyle. So far the world’s greatest super burglar has managed

Okay I was going to do Anton Scalia found on page 35 of GI but it turns out there is a real
life Antonin Scalia who is a Supreme Court Judge. So I'm not about to do a Tod McFarlin so
I'm going to ignore this name.

RED TAG

Nelson Smith grew up in Century Station never amounting to anything but being a small
time thief and street thug. After barely graduating from high school, he left home and took
to a life on the street. He decided to upscale his thieving skills and pull more cobs in middle
class parts of Center City. Unknowingly, he broke into the house of a 5th degree Black Belt.
When he regained consciousness, he was arrested by the CSPD. Nelson soon found himself
incarcerated at Gramercy Island. During his time at Cell Block A (Alphaville), his cellmate
Nicky “The Rat” Scully decided to take out Oscar Fox, a convicted CS police officer who
been working for the Gipetto Crime Family. Fox decided to cut a deal, and Nicky was told
to “take him out.” For whatever reason, Nicky decided to pull a Kamikaze Move (murder
someone in plain sight of a guard). It got him Red Tagged, confined to his cell 24/7 in Cell
Block C (The Cage). It made a heavy impression on Smith who couldn’t imagine what it
would be like to be in total isolation. He started to have nightmare of what was going on in
the mind of his former cellmate. If anything, it made him a model prisoner. Two years ago,
Nelson became the prison’s first parolee. Several weeks after being released, Nelson started
working for a scientist who used to work in the Dream Garden. The scientist (who’d gone a
little mad) revealed his invention of Shadow Pills. The unique pills allowed a person to see in
the dark. Yet for whatever reason, when Nelson tried the pills it gave him incredible powers
to control and manipulate shadows and darkness. More impressive, he could generate a
strange limbo dimension and transport people into it. The idea of putting people into solitary
confinement intrigued him. He killed the scientist but not before learning how to create the
Shadow Pills. He bought himself a large hooded cloak and decided to call himself Red Tag.
He soon embarked on a career of being a super villain. His exploits are a major
embarrassment to the prison, especially Warden Harcker. CSPD, Sector 10, and the
Centurions & Sector Squad are all looking for him.

THE SNEAK

The man known as the Sneak was stealing in Century Station even before the Daedalus
Affair occurred. When the city began to panic, he used the opportunity to burglar riskier
and more challenging locations. Whenever someone got on his trial, he seemingly
disappeared, reappearing in another part of the country doing the same thing. The Sneak
has never revealed anything about his past to anyone, but those who have associated with
long enough, believe his face is horribly disfigured, and his powers developed as a means to
conceal it from everyone. The Sneak refused to let anyone live who has seen his real face.
No matter the reason or cause, anyone who sees his face, he will kill as soon as possible.
The Sneak is the most successful super-burglar in history. He has stolen items in plain
sight, right under a guard’s nose. He’s murdered as well. The bigger the challenge, the more
likely the Sneak will try to steal it. He crashes several diners at the White House by various
Presidents of the United States, including the current administration (he’s a fan). There are
many who have tried to recruit the Sneak to do assassinations, but he’s not interested in
wetwork or anything of that nature, he’s a thief, plain and simple, and not interested in
anything else.

these Gammorites are coming for him to take him into space. Nothing will keep the

THE MEAT WAGON

The Meat Wagon is a 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 60 series edition that has been modified into
a super vehicle. It is not known who create it, but the owner rents out the vehicle to
anyone who is willing to pay the $25,000 renter fee per day and agrees to the term.
Onboard cameras provide continuous data and video feedback for precise vehicle
positioning and monitoring the occupants of the vehicle. If anyone touches the vehicle who
does not pay the renters fee, he or she will suffer the effects of a life drain (save of life
drain of 16 or better or lose 2D6 hit points). The renter fee is paid by using a credit/debit
card that’s scanned in order to open the door. Once the door is open, a driver must lock
the long chain like handcuff around his left hand that’s connected to the door. This chain
has 600 S.D.C. and any attempt to cut it causes the driver to suffer from automatic life
draining which (2D6 hit points with no saving throw, this heals 1D4x10 points of damage for
ever 2 hit points drained), healing the chain. The only way to remove the chain is for
someone to pay an additional $25,000 on the door. The pilot receives a +10% while driving
the Meat Wagon. The drive cannot leave the vehicle because of the chain. Once the job or
task has been done, someone must pay $25,000 to release the driver. If this is not paid,
the driver will remain an occupant of the vehicle until his or her life force is drained away.
This ensures the Meat Wagon returns unoccupied and without someone trying to steal it.
Should the driver die, the vehicle become inoperable accept by the mysterious creator by
remote control. Anyone trying to Hot Wire the vehicle will find they have a -80% penalty!!!
Even if someone Hot Wires the vehicle, the vehicle will cease to function within 1D4 melees
unless the handcuff is applied. An attempt to Hot Wire or by-pass this will result in a -85%
penalty. The main function of the Meat Wagon is a renter vehicle to be used for whatever
purpose, The owner/creators just has a sure fire way of making sure the vehicle gets
returned. Nobody tries to steal or take the Meat Wagon, those who have all mysteriously
disappeared never to be seen or heard from again.

human beings (Hardware, Physical Training, Special Training). Cyberjacking is also not
possible.

(two stolen hit points will heal 1D4x10 points of S.D.C. of the vehicle, regardless if the
driver want the vehicle to heal or not). Other capabilities are brought about by draining hit
points and/or S.D.C. in order to function. There is no save against the life draining for it’s
the only way to power the vehicle.
Remote Control Operation, The creator of the Meat Wagon can assume
control over the vehicle (driver loses all control) at any location in the world (via satellite).

This guy isn't mentioned by name but I figured I better flesh out the group mentioned on page 181

VICTOR DRAGON and the Order of the Three

As WW 2 came to an end LORD ARCANE decided he couldn’t chance humanity coming so
close to destroying itself. He needed help to monitor it from all points of origin. So he
decided to find others willing to assist him. The first person he sought after was the
Asgardian High Elf known as HIEROPHANT and the Alien Immortal THAUMATURGE. The trio
decided to call themselves the Order of the Three, in which they would police Earth and
ensure nothing alien, supernatural, or catastrophic would ever threaten the whole of
humanity ever again. For decades, the trio defended Earth from various threats to it,
sometimes doing battle with evil immortals, mega-villains, alien invasions, and supernatural
forces. Eventually Thaumaturge decided he wanted to return to his home dimension. A
chance encounter with an unnamed wizard told him how to return to his home dimension.
Lord Arcane and Hierophant tried to convince him otherwise but Thaumaturge wasn’t going
to be persuaded. This meant the two wizards needed to find a third person, so they set
about searching the planet for a replacement. During this time, the necromancer Obzelon
came to power. In an attempt to cast a spell that would summoned the dead from the sea,
he was confronted by Lord Arcane and Hierophant. As the two mighty wizard were held in
place by Obzelon’s undead forces, another mage appeared casting a spell of Legend that
incinerated the entire undead army. Lord Arcane and Hierophant defeated Obzelon. The
elderly wizard called himself Victor Dragon. Both mega-wizard decided Victor would indeed
be a welcomed addition for if anyone possessed the knowledge of the Crimson Wall of
Lictalon deserved to be a protector of Earth. Victor Dragon has been a member ever since,
but he has yet to tell his companions the truth about himself that he is an alien insectoid.
Vduguglaro came to Earth 57 years ago, he spent 20 years exploring and learning about
Earth. Afterward he returned to Fiktia and became an elder, in fact he became a close
confident to the Queen Mother. Yet as time went by, the yearning to return to Earth drew
upon him. Finally, he had a dream that one day he would be needed. He spoke to the
Queen Mother and she agreed he could return to Earth, however he would forever be
banished from Fiktia, but in return he was given a special magic ring to conceal his identity.
Although it been two years since he joined the Order of Three, Victor doesn’t feel
comfortable telling Arcane or Hierophant that he isn’t human. The only person who does is
Earth Angel. She wants him to tell the truth, but Victor is still reluctant worried that
deceiving Lord Arcane will get him expelled or banished from Earth.

This group of young NPC heroes has been a favorite of mine for many years. I changed their
name to fit the name found on page 223 (95%) in GI. Enjoy as always.

PAYBACK INC

Payback Inc is the name of a teenaged super heroes lead who operate not only as Legionnaires
but mercenaries to be hired by anyone who can afford their $2000 price tag. No job is to small
for them. They take cases from stopping a school bully to a criminal mastermind, even if his
plans don't threaten the city. No job is to small nor unimportant, as long as the people are
wiling to pay. However, how the group goes about getting revenge or payback for their clients
is up to them. Recently, the team has become more or less focused on the pursuit of
vengeance and the punishment of all wrongdoers using aggresive tactics. This direction has
cause the team to question itself and their motivations, namely because their are being sued
by a group of inmates at Gramercy Island. Because they don't simply act like true Legionnaires
but operate more like a business, it has given the inmates grounds to pusuit their case, not to
mention its also being funded and represented by lawer who works for People First (see
Century Station, page 94-95). The teenage members of the group are willing to respond to the
charges and have their day in court, but the group disputed team leader Tex wants to ignore
it. Tex is the reason the group went away from its simple Legionnaire status to a "mercenary
group." There is a chance the group will likely disband or go their seperate ways if a
confrontation takes place between the Payl MacFerran (the group original leader) and Tex.

TIME FLIGHT

Terrance was born a mutant, but his powers never revealed themselves until he was 13.
Nonetheless, his hair turned green by age three. He has never told anyone in his family about \
them. His family belongs to a small Amish like community called the Highinia (97 individuals in
all). They worship the god Dionysus (Bacchus) who represents the force of life in all growing
things, animal, and vegetables. Their leader is a mystical being named The High Lord (Mystically
Bestowed-Divine Aura, Healing, and Disintegration). All the women in the community (25 adults
and 19 adolescents Terrance age) can be turned into Maenads (Mystically Bestowed-Battle
Rage, Extraordinary P.S., Healing Factor, and Feral with Blood Thirsty Personality). Upon High
Lord’s command, during the Winter and Spring Solstice, this transformation occurs. He then
sends them into local towns and cities, causing massive destruction once a year. Terrance
concealed this knowledge after witnessing his mother and 18-year-old sister transform when he
snuck into the community center to watch the forbidden gathering that no men are allowed to
see. What he saw torments him to this day. He has never mentioned it anyone. One day while
visiting the city, he met Johnathan Strongheart and Pamela Weaver. Before long, they became
good friends even though his parents were unhappy with him associating with outsiders. One
day during a ceremony for the Vernal Equinox, a Rift opened up in his family’s barn. When
Terrance went to do his chores, he discovered a beautiful teenaged girl inside. Terrance
immediately felt a strange connection with her. Mesmere and Terrance have an intense
romantic relationship. Terrance is growing unsure whether he should stay with his friends ever
since Tex took over the leadership of the group and changed their name to Payback Inc. The
gulf between his family and him grows as spends more time with his friends. He hides the
existence of Mesmere from his family since he is already betrothed to Constance Jane (16
years old) whose father is best friends with his. Terrance knows Constance will soon go
through the ritual that will allow the High Lord to make her a Maenad. Will he ever tell his
friends about what goes on in his community and will he do anything to stop it?

Real Name: Terrance Sullivan
Occupation: Follower of The Church of the Highinia.
Alignment: Principled (he could turn Scrupulous depending upon the situation with his
family and the High Lord).
Power Category: Unstable Mutant (grows with age and power)
Experience Level: 3rd
Hit Points: 29 S.D.C.: 108
P.P.E.: 29
Appearance: Terry is a handsome, sinewy, young man with dark green hair which he
keeps long (usually in a ponytail before combat). He has icy blue eyes and has shaven off his
body hair (accept for what is one his head). His costume is green like his hair. Like all who
follow the Highinia, Terrance only wears what hand made, organic clothing woven by his
parents or his hands.
Attributes: I.Q. 14, M.E. 11, M.A. 15, P.S. 16, P.P. 31, P.E. 19, Spd. 280 mph (450.8 m)
or 420 mph (676.2 mph) with powers, P.B. 17.
Age: 16, Sex: Male, Height: 5 feet and 10 inch (1.77 m), Weight: 170 lbs (76.5 kg).
Unusual Characteristics: Ambidextrous, Green Hair, and Extraordinary Perception.
Belief System: Like all who follow the path of the Highinia, Terrance believes in the glory
of the natural world. He avoids using or touching modern technology whenever he can. He will
only wear hand made clothes made from natural materials. Terrance never cuts his hair, but
shaves the rest of his body to keep it smooth and clean. Terrance will only make a fire using
natural means, never matches, lighters, or using a fuel source like gasoline or charcoal fluid. If
Terrance where to use a weapon, it would like being something made of wood or stone, never
processed iron and metal compounds. He really detests firearms and explosives, which puts him
at heavy odds with Tex. He will never intentionally harm an animal unless it must be killed for
food. He will not eat processed meat, only animals that have been hunted and killed by human
hands. He will never go into a modern hospital and avoids many of the cultural norms of modern
society (going to the movies, watching T.V., etc). He never swears no matter how mad he
gets. The human body is to be seen as something beautiful and glorious to behold in all its glory
(on the summer solstice he and all Highina wear little or not clothes at all).

ROAR

Roar was born a mutant on the Zuni Indian Reservation. His mother died trying to give birth to
a 25 lbs baby boy. Days later, doctors from Century Station came and took him away to study
him at a place called the Dream Garden. Johnathan was raised by a foster family while living at
the research center. Even as a young boy, Johnathan would fly into rages whenever he didn’t
get what he wanted with his supernatural strength. By the time he was five years old, he was
3 feet tall (.91 m) and weighted 125 lbs (56.25 kg). Johnathan wanted to leave the Dream
Garden and go back to the reservation and his real family. When the Daedalus Incident
occurred, a 10-year-old Johnathan was given his wish. He returned the Zuni reservation and
stayed there for five years, until he got into an argument with an older brother who resented
him for being born and killing their mother. After belittling him, Johnathan could take no more,
grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him, snapping his spine. Horrified at killing his brother,
Johnathan left the reservation and made his way back to Century Station where he made
contact with a former scientist/teacher at the Dream Garden who set him up as a student at
Jordan High School. While attending the school, Johnathan felt awkward. Everyone knew he
was a mutant, nonetheless he made friends with Pamela Weaver and Terrance Sullivan. Later

SWITCH

Switch’s mother was a drug addict and she never knew who her father. She grew up on the
streets of Lennox in Century Station watching her mother go from one job to another, and
having a new and different “boyfriend” every other week. Never having a true permanent
address made her miss a lot of school. Life on the street became increasing difficult for her,
especially as a little girl. Then one day she met an elderly man (a 9th level Ancient Weapon
Master) who trained her how to use a bo-staff and a pair of fighting sticks. As time went on,
the man became a grandfather figure for her. Then one day a villainous super criminal name Red
Devil decide to assume control of several blocks of Lennox. The elderly man attempted to
confront Red Devil but he was no match against the super villain’s powers (Monstrous Form and
Control Elemental Force-Fire). Just as he was about to kill the old man, Kimberly switched
powers with him. She beat the villain senseless. The dying old man told her he always knew she
was special and should use her special powers to help others. Days later, a 13-year-old
Kimberly ran away from home good and sought a life as a super hero. She lived on the street
doing whatever she needed to do in order to survive and maintain her super hero identity. By
chance, she encountered Paul MacFerran on the street. He took her in and they struck up a
close friendship. In time, they meet up with Johnathan Strongheart and Pamela Weaver, who
introduced them to Terrance Sullivan. For a while they formed their own super hero group until
they met Tex who changed them into Payback Inc. Switch is eager to follow Tex. She is
starting to feel disconnected from her friends as they continue with their education and spend
time with their high school friends. However, Mesmere doe make her feel better about her

MIND WALKER

Paul MacFerran was the son of the famous Academy Award African American actor Louis \
MacFerran. His mother was a celebrated civil right attorney. The two bought a beautiful
mansion in Battenberg Heights. The family was unaware though that the house they bought
had once been used by an evil wizard who made ritual magic spells in the basement and
performed all sorts of animal sacrifices in it. The wizard choose this particular house because
there was a rip of magic, a tiny pinhole of mystic energy torn out of the fabric of reality and
equal to a ley line in its basement. This rip of magic was only 7 feet (2.13 m) I circumference
but its existence was more than enough to bring entities to the house. The wizard had been
killed by Xian Long (Lord of the Shadow Margin). The MacFerran’s knew none of this. When
young Paul was born, he alone saw these entities and they immediately recognized his
uniqueness for Paul was born a psychic. By the time, Paul was three years old, the poor boy
was become increasingly irritated by the entities that wouldn’t stop talking to him. By age five
he was behaving erratic claiming he couldn’t stand being in the house any more. To make
matters worst, the entities continually speaking to him made it possible for him to become a
natural telepath. Young Paul couldn’t get the voices out of his head. The MacFerran’s didn’t
know what to do. Then after speaking to someone from Tibet, they decided to take their son
to a remote monastery. Here Paul learned not only the martial art of form Lee Kwan Choo, but
the training to calm the voices in his head. Paul spent eleven years in Tibet. When he turned
16, he left Tibet and came back to the United States with his parents. When he returned
home, the entities were eager to torment him again, but this time Paul was resistant to the
telepathic attacks.

Paul attended Jordon High School and tried to blend in with the “normal kids.” Most were
interested in hearing about life in Tibet, but a few were jealous of the fame his parents
possessed. While going to school, Paul met Prof. Joshua Kelm. The two became friends,
especially when Kelm learned of Paul’s psychic abilities. He asked Paul if he could help him with
some experiments. Kelm injected him with a special formula and immediately it shut down Paul’s
psychic powers. Meanwhile, an evil wizard named Marlon Knight fought to purchase the
MacFerran’s mansion. Despite knowing the history and effects of the house, the MacFerran’s
refused to sell. The wizard decided to force the issue. While at school, Paul learned his parents
had been murdered. Paul learned from the entities who was responsible. Kelm decided to help
Paul and gave him an injection that restored his powers. Paul discovered he had greater
command of his abilities. Paul dubbed himself Mind Walker and set about his task on getting
revenge. He not only defeated Marlon Knight, but foiled his plans of setting up an evil Wizard’s
Guild in Century Station. Afterward, Paul decided to continue giving aid to those who needed it.
He arranged for some alterations to his parent mansion.

After Paul graduated, he attended Copernicus University for a year. During this time, he and his
butler/guardian Neil Webley met a young mutant who called herself Switch. She joined Paul in
his crusade against crime. Later, he recruited Johnathan Strongheart and Pamela Weaver. They
were later joined by Terrance Sullivan. Weeks later Terrance brought in the mysterious
Mesmere. By know Paul dropped out of school and began using his inheritance to fund his
secret criminal career. They started calling their group Teen Machine. They did well as a young
group of superheroes. They eventually had a chance encounter with an Atorian Super Soldier
named Tex. He was anger and bitter and he wanted to find a means to punish those who done
wrong to others. He convinced the kids to go from being a group of Legionnaires to more or
less a mercenary group called Payback Inc. Paul doesn’t like how Tex has pushed him out of his
own group but his loyal to the group remains. He is aware of the problems facing Terrance and
the High Lord.

Real Name: Paul MacFerran
Occupation: Son of wealthy parents. Former leader of Teen Machine.
Alignment: Principled
Power Category: Natural Psionic

Unlimited, Saving Throw: None, I.S.P.: None. Paul can “hear” what a person is thinking. This is
done by focusing on one person and picking up on his or her surface thoughts. Simultaneous,
multiple mind reading is possible but it’s confusing for him, like trying to listen to multiple people
talking to him at the same time. The loudest thoughts are those that accompany someone’s
spoken words. He can also hear normal surface thoughts, although they are for the most part
boring and can be just about anything. If he wants to perform a telepathic probe focused on
searching one’s mind for one specific target for answers to specific questions, victims will get a
saving throw, failure means the person provides the answer to the question. Note only specific
questions with specific answer will produce results. If the victim makes his saving throw, he
manages to mask his thoughts, producing no answer.
Telepathic Transmission (special) , Range: 150 feet (45.7 m), Duration: Unlimited,
Saving Throw: None, I.S.P.: None. Paul can “speak” to another living person simply by
projecting his thoughts into their mind. His thoughts are heard just as if he were speaking to
the person, which means he can control the “tone” of those thoughts, allows him to put
emotion into them. He can focus the thoughts so that it only allows him to communicate with a
single individual or with everyone in his range. There is no limit to how many people Paul can
speak too, however if he wants to listen it requires him to focus on only one specific person, so
he can heard them (see above).

MESMERE

Mesmere is an Ancient Spirit of Love who arrived during a ritual taking place at the Highinia
community during the Vernal Equinox. She appeared in Terrance Sullivan’s barn. Immediately
Terrance was taken back by her affections. Not really, familiar with her surroundings, Terrance
hid her in the barn for several days. Later, she started appearing in Century Station and
attracting huge attention. Terrance brought her back to the barn where he introduced to his
friends. Now Mesmere hangs around Paul’s mansion or hides in Terrance’s family barn. Though
she is intelligent, Mesmere acts like a stereotypical beauty queen. She knows how to play
dumb and helpless to convince others to do things for her. She is not happy with Tex or the

TEX

Tex Diar is an Atoria Super Soldier. He like many males in the Imperial Empire is nothing more
then a servant to all females. Tex, however, earned a high-ranking position among other men.
In exchange for his loyalty and service, he was given a chance to become a super soldier.
While participating in a battle taking place two space ships, one ship attempted to escape
through a wormhole. Tex’s ship got pulled inside. He managed to escape while the other ship
was destroyed. Tex found himself in an unidentified solar system. His instruments didn’t
recognize anything. His fighter ship lacked the ability to re-enter the gateway he just emerge
from. He had no choice but to land on the nearest planet. Tex landed on Earth with Project
Tyche and the U.S. Air Force hot after his trail. He fled to nearby Battle Mountain, Nevada.
There he stayed for several months, learning to adapt to life on Earth and the United States.
Before long, he made his way to Gulf Coast City. Having learned enough English to
communicate effectively, he joined up with a group of ex-military soldiers who become
mercenaries for a biotech company involved with the creation of mutant animals. After a while,
the group decided to sell their services to the mega-corporation Genesys in Century Station.
But after a while, Tex began to resent been under the control of the company. For the first
time, he wanted to be his own boss. So he decided to form his own team. By chance, he
witnessed a teenage group of Legionnaires take down a Colorpunk gang that threatened the
district of Kilgore. Tex convinced the young heroes that they could better serve the city as
mercenaries. Paul MacFerran objected but the others were curious to try it. Tex changed the
name from Teen Machine to Payback Inc. Tex also began to usurp the leadership role from Paul
and made the group take a more aggressive approach to their heroics. However, these hard
nose tactics inspired a group of inmates at Gramercy Island to research the legitimacy of their
arrest and convictions, and because of them the prisoners have filed a class action lawsuit
against the young heroes. Tex has no intension of responding to the lawsuit, in fact it’s only
made he become even more aggressive. He is becoming discouraged the others are not
following suit and insist on dealing with the lawsuit. The heated arguments between Tex and
MacFerran are growing more frequent. Tex had hoped MacFerran would leave the group giving
him sole control over it. The chance of a confrontation between the two is becoming more and
more likely. Tex refused to accept the young heroes are more than likely going to side with Paul
if he should decide to leave. In the meantime, Tex is taking his frustrations out on criminals,
villains and anyone else who wants to start a fight with him.

These guys are some cool villains and lots of adventure poltential. You can find reference to
them on page 195 in GI. Enjoy.

THE BADSIDERS

A Colorpunk gang in which half of its members are mutants, while the other half are typical
street punks. The reason for the split membership is their leader Autocrat has the ability to
give the non-mutants temporarily super abilities. The gang operates primarily in Iron Beach,
however they had been known to terrorize other parts of the city, and increasingly in the part
of Silver City. To make matters worst, the Badsiders have some military training thanks in part
to their financial benefactor and primary employeer Arthur Lugar, the chief financial officer
(CFO) and vice president for a major American insurance company. He is also a criminal
mastermind (7th level). He uses them as hired thugs and mercenaries to carry out random
missions for his own criminal enterprise. He also has a major problem to deal with because
shortly after getting the Badsiders military training, he decided to get them an experience
leader. That man turned out to be the mutant named Shatterhands. In order to test their skills,
Luger hand them rob the Century National Bank. However, Autocrat feared he was being
replaced as the team’s leader, so he double-crossed Shatterhands and called the police. When
Shatterhands showed up to receive his cut of the loot, the police showed up. Arthur Lugar
soon learned that Autocrat (his son) had made the mistake of identifying him to Shatterhands.
Fearing the mutant might reveal him, Arthur contacted several high-powered attorneys to work
on Shatterhands appeal. The last thing he wants is for Shatterhands to say anything that
would not only threaten his welfare but the company could become embroiled in a series of
fraud investigations conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Justice
Department, and the state’s Attorney General's Office. Meanwhile, if the Badsiders don’t stop
causing problems in Silver City and risking exposing Arthur to the authorities, may result that he
has to hired another group of mercenaries to “eliminate” the Badsiders, and Shatterhands would
welcome an opportunity to lead such a group the moment he gets out of Gramercy Island.

SQUID

Herbert Charles lived on Iron Beach all his life. When he was 8 years old, the factory his father
worked closed down and his dad was out of work. His dad took a job on a fish vessel. On the
day he came back, his father brought some of the squid bait they used to catch what was said
to be the largest haul ever. His mother served the squid for dinner. Hours after eating it,
Herbert began to change, mutating into a human with squid like abilities and appearance.
Horrified Herbert ran away. He was attacked by a dozen street punks. The moment they saw
him, they fled in total fear. Days later Herbert return to his family and tried to his best to live a
normal life. Before long Herbert no longer regretted his transformation, he embraced it. He

basketball beside an empty warehouse. The bowl rolled inside and Lamond went inside. There
he found several unlabeled barrels. Curious he examined them. Unbeknownst to him, the one

rival gang. Afterward, he set himself up as the kind of the street. This lasted until he met up

treatment turned him into a living disease capable of bestowing any disease of his choosing and
the ability to infect others by entering their body. First, he exposed his family then everyone
on his street. Before long the CDC quarantined the two squared blocks were he lived not
knowing he was the culprit. Eventually he decided to tempted fate and tried affecting another

Edger Wayne was a strange kid growing up in Drummond. He didn’t socialize with other kids. He
didn’t show any interest in anything accept father’s knife collection. His father was a CSPD
patrol officer, but he collected dozens of knives from all across the world. It was the only thing
the two shared in common. Any pet he was ever given ended up dead or vanished. One day
while walking to school, three street punks tried to take his money. Edger pulled out a knife
and stabbed one of the kids, not only did the kid suffer from the knife wound, but he also went
blind. The kid ran away in fear. From that moment on, Edger was a sociopath, killing and
torturing anyone he could. The older he got, the more clever and unique way he found to use
his abilities. By the time he graduated from high school, he’d murdered a dozen people and hid
their bodies in abandoned building. When his refuse to go to college and get off the street, his
father got into a heat argument with him. Out of blind rage, he picked up a knife and threw it
at his father’s neck, it struck him perfectly in the carotid artery and paralyzed him. Edger then
stabbed his father with every single knife in his collection. When his mother came home, he
killed her as well. Edger left to live on the street, killing and robbing in order to survive.
Eventually he struck up and odd friend ship with Naldo Luna. The two joined up with Douglas
Luger to form the Badsiders.

psionic energy into any projectile weapon held in his hand (arrows, thrown weapons, bullets,
etc). [Note: For the bullet to work, he must charge it then load it into a gun]. The duration of
the psionic charge is a mere three minutes. When charged, the objects receives an extra +4 to
