AUTOCRAT

Douglas Luger is the son of Arthur Lugar, the chief financial officer (CFO) and vice president for
a major American insurance company headquartered in Century Station. When Douglas was
born, he looked like a caveman. Arthur Lugar did everything he could to conceal his son’s
freakish appearance, even to have his wife murdered when she decided to divorce him and
planned on telling the truth about their son. Douglas grew up hidden within the Silver City
Residential Arcology, never allowed to leave their home. He was home schooled and his
teachers were paid very well to keep silent. By the time, he was nine years old, Douglas
started having an amazing influence on people, he could make them do whatever he wanted.
The biggest thing he wanted was to get out of the building and see the world. One night he
snuck out, the people of Silver City freaked out thinking he was some kind of freakish monster.
Douglas was able to use his “influence” to convince the CSPD officer to let him go. Douglas
escaped and fled into Center City, here he met with the members of the Mutant Underground.
Feeling more at ease, he wanted to stay among them until CSPD did a sweep of the area. He
eventually went back to his father. By this time, Arthur Luger was involving in numerous fraud
schemes within his company, and secretly amassing huge amount of money, and hiring
mercenaries to commit crimes, strike out at rivals, and ensure his secret criminal ambition
remained undisclosed. It didn’t take Luger long to figure out that his son abilities could become
an asset to him. So he decided to get his son some viable training to be a corporate
mercenary. Douglas returned to the Mutant Underground looking to recruit applicants. Among
the people he met were Para-Sick and Backstab. They were looking to form a Colorpunk gang,
and Douglas was all too happy to take up on the mantle as leader (which they graciously
allowed him).

After a while, other members (Squid, Weird, and Bone Snapper) joined the crew. Yet Arthur
wasn’t happy with their exploits, they were careless in their operations, nearly getting caught
and they had several run-ins with super hero types. Luger sent them on summer holiday to
Malvador, home of Emperor Danilek were they received military training. Douglas of course
refused to go and stayed behind. When the Badsiders came back, Arthur had Douglas contact
Shatterhands to test their skills. Feeling that his father might replace him as leader of the
Badsiders with Shatterhands, Douglas set him and reported him to the police. This ultimately
led to his arrest. Arthur was enraged to learn how stupid and prideful his son was acting. Now
they had to ensure Shatterhands remained quite and did not reveal their secret. While Arthur
Luger is looking to keep his identity and criminal mastermind life a secret, Douglas has learned
he can bestow super abilities to normal people, namely to the non-super members (his
followers) of the Colorpunk gang. The Badsiders are causing problems throughout Century
Station, and more presently in Silver City, which is more than likely going to result in an
encounter with more super heroes and put more pressure on his father to quiet his son.

Okay this is the guy that missed at first but came up with something very cool for him. His refence can be found on page 83 of GI. Enjoy.

ZOOMERANG

Egor Larsh was drafted right out of college to play for the Gulf Coast Pelicans MLB team in Gulf
Coast City as their starting pitcher. Already his college won the national championships twice in
a row. Now he was playing for a major league team in Motor City. Within a year, the Pelicans
were playing in the World Series. However just as Game 1 was about to begin, two G.I.G.M.A
agents along with four S.C.R.E.T. agents arrived to arrest him. Turn out, Egor was a mutant,
who’d been using his powers to “control” the ball to put the odds in his team favor. Ousted as
a super being, he was forced to return tens of thousands of dollars, lost his multi-million dollar
contract and endorsement, and worst of all the media frenzy of his public shame. To matters
worst, the team was sweep four game straight in the World Series to which their fans turned
on him. All of this infuriated Egor to a point of madness. When given the opportunity he killed
the G.I.G.M.A. agent assigned to watch over him. He then fled to the dark alleyways of Gulf
Coast City. Before long, he took to wearing his team’s uniform and started out on a crime wave
by calling himself Fast Ball. Unfortunately, the hero types in Gulf Coast City considered him a
joke. Tossing 200 mph (322 km) baseball, although lethal to normal people didn’t posse a
serious threat to the various super heroes operating in the city. They regarded him a joke (like
the Mighty Static Man and the Cuttlefish). He escaped captured several times but each time
his defeated were humiliating. Finally, he was captured by Skyfire. In prison, he shared a cell
with a man who never spoke. Four days later, the man woke Egor in the middle of the night,
just as the wall to their cell explode. Two individual in power armor helped them escape into
the night. They flew them to the man’s secret lab. Egor wanted to express his thanks, but the
man instead offered him something instead. A dozen metal boomerangs, super sharp, perfectly
balance, and superior throwing range. Taking these new weapons, Egor made himself a new
costume and called himself Zoomerang. His first act was to kill the super hero Super Red. He
then several injured Skyfire and avoid capture. Before long, he left Gulf Coast City to take his
criminal career across the country. He is now on the G.I.G.M.A./S.C.R.E.T list of major super
villains. His ultimate goal is to make the top 10. If he has to kill someone them to make it, he

Maximum-Man is already done (not sure on what page he is, but he's already done). There are
two Black Dogs (one on page 116 and the other is one 202), so I just made them one and the
same. I mention his death along with other members of the surviving Ultranauts. The Industrial
Revolution to me was soundly defeated and arrested along with the Regulators (and sent to
Gramercy Island). Now Vincent Bloodstone and the Black Order, I must have just figured he
was the same Bloodstone in Century Station, but it does appear he's not. So maybe one more
and I'll be done, but those have been famous last words :lol: .

The following is from page 132 in GI.

TURNABOUT

Trish Candle loved the pool. Her father used his fortune as scientist at a state of art laboratory
to build a swimming pool for her to swim at home. When the Daedalus incident occurred, Trish
was already a two-time state championship swimmer. She was planning to go to college on a
swimming scholarship when her father lost his job. Like so many others, the family had to leave
Silver City and move to Center City. Nevertheless, after graduating from high school, Trish
became a world champion swimmer and eventually a four time Olympic Gold Medalist. Her
picture was on cereal boxes and she did T.V. commercial, becoming a minor celebrity. Back in
Century Station, the loss of income was hard on her father. He decided to put his brilliance into
a variety of fields to find a way to make it back to the top. He invented a cloak that allowed
one to warp the distance between two points in space. He saw it as a means of rapid
transportation. Unfortunately, a fellow scientist learned of his invention and decided to take it
for himself. He hired some thugs to steal it. They broke into the house and intentionally
murdered her mother, and put her father in the hospital. They got the cape but just the initial
prototype. The new and improved version was still in the house. Her father told her about the
cape. Trish used the cape to track down the thugs and eventually put them behind bars along
with the scientist. Trish felt so empowered by using the cape after graduating from Copernicus
University; she decided to become a full time super hero. Calling herself Turnabout, she joined
the many Legionnaires trying to make Century Station a better place. She hit a snag in her
career as a hero when she tried to stop Marjorie Bonaparte and her Linkin Gormanzo. Majorie hit
her with the vehicle sending Trish to the hospital to heal her broken hip. She spent weeks in
rehab. Trish is slowly getting back to her super hero career. Recently she has started to date
Nathan Weeks, a photographer for the Everyman newspaper. She has thought about giving up
her super hero career to start a normal life with Nathan, but the call to adventure is a difficult
one to abandon.

THE BLACK ORDER

This mystic order is comprised of evil sorcerers who only have a single-minded goal, and that is
to assume control of the United States via magic. The means to do this each sorcerer appears
to be a regular person working in politics. These sinister wizards are looking to gain political
office, specifically in state and federal governments-The ultimate goal, 50 state governors and
the U.S. Presidency. So far, the Black Order has five mayoral candidates however, one of these
mayor candidates is in direct conflict with an incumbent who belongs to the Society of the
Mystic Font (see G.M. Guide, page 88). This has a result in a conflict between the two evil
orders. Each attempts to eliminate the other one. Century Station has become a battleground
between these two organizations. The female super hero Triskelion got caught up in this war.
She learned that the city council member Vincent Bloodstone of Fairfax was an evil sorcerer,
however she was never able to prove it. In an evil twist of fate, when Triskelion was sent to
Gramercy Island, the Black Order sent a representative to put a magical ward on her forehead
to neutralize her magical powers. Should she ever get out, she plans on exposing Black Order
for what they really are.

VINCENT BLOODSTONE

Vincent Bloodstone looks pristine on paper. He is charming and attractive in public, but he is
ruthless and cold behind closed doors. The truth about him has never been revealed and he
plans on keeping it that way. He often speaks of his master who taught him as a small boy, but
he has yet to reveal his past to anyone. His parents died when he was 10 years old, and he
was apparently raised by his chauffer. During the Daedalus affair, Vincent ran for a city
councilmen position for the district of Fairfax. He won in a massive landside with almost 90% of
the vote. Triskeltion learned he was the leader of the evil guild of wizard known as the Black
Order. For a while, they held a mutual agreement as they each blackmailed the other into a
truce. She wouldn’t reveal his secret he would harming a single member of her family. When
Triskelion was sent to Gramercy Island, Vincent secretly sent one of his wizards to the prison
to place a ward on her forehead that inhibits her abilities. So far Triskelion has kept her word
and he has kept his. Whether or not one of them will change their position remains to be seen,

Okay this guy has been a favorite NPC I've been using for several years (since 1993) and I've
decided to put him on the board here. However, before I can post him first his major super
ability need to be explained. Use the ability or him if you want.

ACOUSTIC MEMORY PROJECTION

This unique ability allows the hero to function like a living tape recorder. The ability occurs
naturally and doesn’t require an action to perform. The individual is able to record and
project/reply events he has overheard and mentally recorded. The sound is the actual sound as
it was when the hero heard/recorded it (total recall in this regard). Anything he does not hear
cannot be recorded into his memory nor be projected. The hero can filter out any background
noise and specifically play back one particular sound or handful of sounds. For example, the
hero could be at a rock concert and play back just the conversation between two gentlemen in
the front row. Sounds are retained in the hero’s memory for 10 years +1 year per level of
experience. The hero can increase or decrease the volume of the sound/noise along the lines of
the decibel level (HU 2nd edition, page 288). Anything within the range of the hero’s hearing
ability can be recorded, which can be increased with increasing hearing abilities (like Heighten
Sense of Hearing for example). The sounds/noises cannot be modified or enhanced in any way,
accept for volume. Sounds cannot be recorded while the hero is engaging in combat nor when
he is asleep or unconscious. Note: Magical audio illusions cannot be recorded and replay,
however the character will recognize the illusion and will not be tricked by it. The audio
recording can be projected up to 100 feet (30.4 m) away. It takes the hero 1D4 melees to find
any specific sound he has recorded throughout his lifetime. Head injuries can cause lost of
memory making it impossible to recall audio recordings, as does a bout of insanity.

Sound Illusions: The hero can replay any sound/noise from his or her recordings. The
recorded audio memories are the exact sounds/noises as they where heard/recorded. These
sounds can be projected as if they were happening, even though they could simply be
memories of events that occurred years ago. The sound can be played as if they were
happening across the street or next to a person’s ear, be it a whisper or the sound of an
explosion (Horror Factor 9-12). The hero can use this ability to alter his voice and speech
patterns to resemble someone recorded. This doesn’t change the hero’s voice just make it
sound like the hero is speaking the recorded conversation. However, if the hero fails to mouth
the words correctly, he will look like a poorly dubbed foreign film character.

Range: 100 feet (30.4 m), Area Effect: Up to 100 feet (30.4 m). Volume can be
raised or lower from 1 to 140 decibels. At 140 decibels, the sound will cause 3D6 points of
damage. It will temporarily defend and daze its victims. They will suffer -4 to initiative, -3 to
strike, parry, and dodge and lose 1 attack per melee and suffer a loose of hearing for 3D4
melees. It will also shatter most glass.

Other abilities:

The character is immune to the effect of loud, damaging, or otherwise dangerous levels of
noise. This effectively makes the character impervious to sonic-based attacks (including
magical noise and sonic weapons), and only takes ½ damage from vibration-based attacks.

The character can remember and recognize all kinds of sounds. He can accurately identify
sounds at 50% +5% per level of experience; roll for exotic, strange, or uncommon sounds, not
everyday, common-place sounds. The sense of hearing is about twice as good as a normal human.

ROCK STAR

All his life Rick Cassidy loved music. He seemed to possess a natural talent for memorizing any
song or carry any tune he ever heard. He has a perfect audio memory. His talent made him a
young teen star. He decided after high school to avoid the fame and fortune and went off to
college to become a journalist. Unfortunately, his wild and crazy nature made him unpopular
with his professors. His friend called him the Rock Star. He eventually got his degree in
journalism and became a beat reporter for Focus Magazine. His first big break came when he
learned about of illegal football gambling done at his own college. But his investigation brought
unwanted attention on himself. On his way back to his apartment, he was attacked and beaten
up and warned off. However, despite the fact they wore masks, he realized he recorded the
entire event in his head. He could play back the recording back at any time he wished. Using
this amazing ability, he tracked down those responsible. Next, he went to an airport and
recorded the sounds of jet engines taking off. He faced his opponents and crippled them with
the noise. He also discovered he could achieve flight by manipulating music or any surrounding
noise (actually this a lie, but he doesn’t believe it otherwise). Using his amazing ability to
manipulate sound and record it, he decided to become a fighter of crime, calling himself Rock
Star. A year later, he was sing karaoke when he was recognized by songwriter Ted Barker. Ted
wanted him rekindle his singing career. A year later after a major hit record, Rick Cassidy is an
international celebrity. He is dating a young pop singer, 20-year old Cindy Flare. She is unaware

:D Wow Gaby you win the prize for do-diligence I would have never caught that one on
page 83 of Century Station. Now what's funny is Hammerjack is already a bio-freak bad guy
of the Power Brigade from Skraypers (page 100). However, I'm sure he not the same villain.
So rest assured I'm dusting off my brain and getting to work on this guy. As for making more
HU books, I'm sure they will after all thats what Armageddon Unlimited is. And as Kevin says,
sometimes if you want something bad enough, you have to create it yourself. Right now I'm
working on solving that issue right now.

I'm back, well at least with this one guy. He from Century Station page 83.

HAMMERJACK

Jack Doll was breaking concrete with a jackhammer while working with a road crew. Beside
him was an abandoned factory. Inside various chemical barrels had leaked their contents
into the soil. The odorless fumes caused him to gain the ability to generate vibrations and
kinetic force blast. The following day he attacked his boss who he didn’t care for. The next
day he used his abilities to disable an armored car. He took the money and started enjoy a
comfortable lifestyle. Unfortunately, this was his first and only successful bank job. Each
time he tried to perform any kind criminal activity; he was being foiled by superheroes
and/or CSPD. Each time he was fortunate enough to escape capture. His luck turned for the
worst when after being foiled by yet another superhero. He went searching for his truck and
CSPD had impounded it. He ran into Century Park and spotted a CSPD mounted officer
helping an injured jogger. Infuriated over being foiled again, Jack attacked the police officer.
As he stood over the office gloating, he paid little attention to the horse. When he turned
around to leave, the horse attacked him knocking him out. The officer took him into
custody. To make it worse, CSPD gave his super villain name to the horse. He was heckled
relentlessly by other inmates in Gramercy Island. A few weeks ago, because of
overcrowding, S.C.R.E.T. came and took Jack to one of their holding facilities. When the
transport vehicles crossed over a bridge, it was destroyed causing the Dragoons to fall into
a river. G.I.G.M.A. and S.C.R.E.T. investigated the scene. They found the bodies of the
agents but not Jack Doll. Where Jack is right now remains to be seen.

COLD BOY AND KID FLAME

Jason and Todd are cousins on Jason’s mother’s side. Jason’s father
Fredrick Taylor the II was a wealthy millionaire who never had time
for his kid. Jason developed a very angry and learned to hate his
father. He had everything a kid would want but not friends, or for
that matter a family, accept for his cousin Todd. While his mother
and aunt did their own things at the mansion. Todd and Jason
enjoyed Jason’s good life. Todd’s father a very successful heart
surgeon did all that he could for his son, but Todd still turned out to
be a violent, evil child. Jason and Todd enjoyed causing chaos for
people, particularly those they considered to be below them (the
poor and middle class). Jason played the role of the brain while Todd
did all the brute force.

One night while Todd stayed over, a falling star crashed into the
woods behind Jason’s house. The two boys snuck out to investigate.
They soon realized it wasn’t a falling star but a spacecraft. Walking
closer to it, Todd yelled at the alien to come out. Jason immediately
told him to keep quiet. The A.I. acknowledged the voice of the two
boys and opened the hatch letting them inside. Inside the two boys
stood in awe. Using his limited knowledge of computers, Jason tried
to get the ship working. By sheer luck, he activated the repair
sequence. A micro-translator talked Jason threw the rest of the
repairs. With the A.I. back online, it completed the rest of the
repairs. The A.I. informed the two boys that they were official the
ship’s owners/operators of the ship. Its programming already
encoded their voice patterns. It showed them the two alien power
armors (the aliens who built just happen to be their size) and
weapons. The moment they put on the armors, the knowledge within
the suits was downloaded directly into their brains giving them the
comprehension to perform as if they were actually alien robot pilots.
This knowledge was only retained while they wore the unique power
armor. With this new power, the two boys decided to see how much
fun and havoc they could cause. The first thing they do is order the
spacecraft to destroy the mansion, killing both of their mothers and
Todd’s father. Jason’s father is still in search of his son and nephew
to this day. Calling themselves Cold Boy and Kid Flame, the juvenile
duo has caused nothing but destruction wherever they have gone.
G.I.G.M.A., S.C.R.E.T. (US and Canada), and Project Tyche are
unaware that the two alien terrorists are 13-year old kids. This will
make no difference with these government agencies, but it might
change the way “heroes” behave toward them, but make no mistake
about it. These two boys are brutal killers, however Kid Flame is
remorseless, while Cold Boy is more than likely to be merciful.

Just a quick question... Are these characters all conversions from previously published works? Or are they new creations?? I know that it started as a conversion of old HU and Revised material brought up to date with HU2 reworking added to them.. The reason I'm asking is that I have a few that I wouldn't mind adding to the list, but don't want to add them to this thread if there is somewhere more appropriate to be adding new character creations..

It sort of a mixture. Cardiac and I spent a great deal of time converting most of the 1st edition
characters from various Heroes and TMNT books into 2nd edition stats. When I ran out of NPCS
to do, I started post original NPCS that I had made up who were originally 1st edition characters.
Then I started making people who were simply names written down in various books. Every so
often someone finds me a name I missed. So yes everyone you see is original or a 2nd edition
conversion. Cardiac hasn't posted anything in a long time, neither has Mephisto (hint, hint). I
supposed if I wanted to I could update the VU guys Cardiac did since he did them before PU 2
and PU 3 came out, but I really don't have the heart to do that. He did a nice job on those guys.
But Papa if you want to go right ahead, the more the merrier I always say. There is no right or
wrong here. Just make sure their updated Palladium book NPCS or NPCS you don't mind sharing
here on the board who you have no desire to do anything else with. In some regard I'm limited by
who I can and are willing to share. Some NPCS I have are eh-em in other things :wink:. Feel
free to add to the post or make a new one. You can use the new Heroes of the Megaverse Book
or Check out the New Powers post or NMI's Black Vault as well. Its all good :ok: .

Okay I'm back in business now, but I'm starting my fall-winter job so it will rob me of my extra
time. Nonetheless I'll make time to get some NPCS up here on the board. The new Frankenstein
computer is going to take awhile to get use too. Big shout out to Andy, Brent, and John (Dice

You got it. In fact I had one group of bad guys in particular I was planning on doing. A group of

:D I'm back folks. These guys are some villains I made way back in the early 90s (HU revised
edition days with VU 1st edition and Alien Unlimited). When 2nd edition came out, I updated these
guys. I did it again when PU 1, PU 2, and PU3 came out. So these guys have been around for a
long time. I've tried but I cannot find a way to give them "cannon treatment" so I'm giving them to
the board for fans to use. If you used them as NPC villains I hope you enjoy using them as much
as I have over the use.

THE BUGS

The Bugs are a group of super villains with powers that makes them similar to insects or they
actually are insect men. The Bugs have little or no care for money, power, or fame. They only
thing the care about is eradicating the human race off the face of planet Earth. This goal will be
accomplished in any way that allows the uses of insects or using the very same pesticides or
chemical humans use to kill insects against them. The Bugs cannot be reason with nor are they
interested in forming an alliance with anyone but their own kind. Other mutant animals are
regarded as an equal threat, but one they will contend with once humanity is gone.

Surprisingly some members of the Bugs are former humans, but the nature of being turned into a
insect person has altered their behavior, giving them an no tolerance for anything other than
their own insect kind. This hatred is so powerful the Bugs will go to almost any length to kill
anyone who dares to challenge them. The only “true human” among the Bugs is Black Beetle,
but even he must remain in hiding in his battle suit or risk being attacked by his fellow Bugs.

The Bugs secondary goal is to ensure the survival of their leader Hive. He is gestalt who
exists by making a physical body composed of a specific breed of genetically engineered locusts.
These locusts are cared for just as true social insects (bees, ants, termites, etc) by the other
Bugs. Thee locusts live in secret warehouses found through the United States. If only colony is
destroyed, the Bugs will move to a new location.

Because the Bugs are not interested in the common targets super villains usually go after,
G.I.G.M.A. and US S.C.R.E.T. are having a difficult time trying to determine what they will go
after. Their leader is not careless and looks for targets of opportunity, namely any gathering of
a large population of humans to attack (sporting events, political rallies, parades, amusement
parks, etc). Despite their best effort, so far the Bugs have eluded capture, yet in their wake
have lefts hundreds of people dead. Recently the President of the United States has issued a
decree to G.I.G.M.A. and S.C.R.E.T. that the Bugs next to the Unnatural Disasters posse a
severe threat to U.S. National Security and they must be dealt with immediately. The Bugs look
forward to this challenge and plan on humbling and killing any law enforcement agencies and
super heroes that tries to take them on. Hive is also planning a major offense involving the
uses of some kind of robotic vehicle, thus the reason Black Beetle is still around, only he and
Lightning Bug now the full depth of this plan.

HIVE

Seldon Buel was a scientist helping to devise early warning and preventive control is the
strategy adopted by locust-affected countries in Africa and Asia to try to stop locust plagues
from developing and spreading. He worked at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO) Desert Locust Information Service (DLIS) in Rome, Italy monitoring the
weather, ecological conditions and the locust situation on a daily basis. Nonetheless, locusts are
a difficult pest to control, and control measures are further compounded by the large and often
remote areas where the insects can be found. Undeveloped basic infrastructure in some
affected countries, limited resources for locust monitoring and control, and political turmoil
within and between affected countries further reduce the capacity of a country to undertake
the necessary monitoring and control activities. Seldon decided to create a powerful insecticide
that would eliminate these insects before West Africa faced the largest locust outbreak in 50
years. Unfortunately, he was in such a rush to get the insecticide into production, he failed to
notice the mutagenic side effects it was having on the insects. Instead of eating plants, the
insects now focused on eating meat. When he initiated a spray on the insect swarm, the insects
instead of dying became ravenous with hunger for meat and attacked Seldon and his team.
Seldon accidently doused himself with the chemical as the swarm fell upon him. Seldon and his
team were devoured by the man-eating swarm. Yet for whatever reason, Seldon continued to
exist as a energy being, yet he needed the man-eating swarm of insects to retain a physical
body. As the swarm died off, Seldon had to find other ones to maintain his life essence. Soon he
had no choice but to raise breeding colonies of these grasshoppers in order to live. This twisted
existence became too much for his sanity to bear, and Seldon went insane. Blaming humanity in
large for his cursed fate, Seldon has made it his life ambition to make sure all humans on planet
Earth suffer as he does. With nothing but eternity to look forward too, he plots to destroy
humankind with insects, namely his swarm of flesh eating locusts and his insect associates the
Bugs. He will do whatever is necessary to bring about humanities end. Despite his despicable
nature, he shows surprising loyalty to his minions.

XITICIX

During a freak thunderstorm in Minnesota, a dimensional portal opened up and this dimensional
being appeared. He went on a rampage destroying everything in sight. U.S. S.C.R.E.T. and
Project Tyche attempted to apprehend him. A S.C.R.E.T. squad did manage to capture him, but
they in turn where attacked by Lightning Bug, Dragonfly, and Hive (responding to his
chemical alarm). He followed them back to their secret base (hive). There he accepted them as
member of his race because Dragonfly was able to control him and Lightning Bug’s chemical
scent was similar to his own. After intensely studying him, Hive managed to replicate the
chemical scent and he modified fellow Bug members so they would radiate it as well. This meant
the bug man (know called Xiticix because it was how he sounded when he spoke) so it was
emitted by the others Bus and the insect man acknowledge everyone a member of his colony.
Xiticix is now 100% loyal to the bugs, or to be more exact he obeys (exclusively) Lightning Bug
and Hive who act as his de-facto Young and Elder Queen. The other bugs can communicate
with their chemical scents, but he will not verbally respond to orders. Xiticix doesn’t miss his
home or true hive. As far as he is concern, his home is with the other Bugs. He will give his life
to protect them all, and he will do whatever is demanded of him by Lightning Bug and Hive.

Occupation: Former Xiticix Warrior
Alignment: Diabolic, but he is a self-sacrificing warrior who will live and die in the service
of the Bugs.
Power Category: Dimensional Being (Supernatural)
Experience Level: 5th
Hit Points: 59 S.D.C.: 123 Armor Rating: A.R.: 12
Note: He can use resin to increase his SDC by 40% and give himself an A.R. of 14.

Appearance: A dark and imposing insect humanoid, broad shoulders, covered with
chitinous black exoskeleton. He has large mandibles, insect-like wings, four arms, insect like
eyes and antennas. Weapons he doesn’t carry are strapped to his waist by a belt made out of
vines.

Age: 10, Sex: Male, Height: 7 foot (2.13 m), Weight: 500 lbs (225 kg).
Vulnerability: Sonic and vibration attacks inflict an additional die of damage and
temporarily knock out all his antenna abilities for 3D4 melee rounds. White noise generators
negate all of his audio abilities and hamper all other antenna abilities (reduce range and skills by
half). These occurs as long as the white noise generator continue to function. It takes him 1D4
melee to recover from white noise exposure. The white noise is painful and disorienting.

LIGHTNING BUG

The being known as Lightning Bug was a prisoner on board a TMC. An explosion happened to its
engines while passing into a gateway. This caused the ship to go off course and emerge out of
the gravity well just outside the planet Jupiter. The ship attempted to make repairs additional
repairs but Earth was the only place to go to replenish its oxygen supplies. While attempting to
enter Earth’s atmosphere, the ship was attacked by a U.S. satellite (installed shortly after the
issue at Century Station). The ship crashed landed in Canada killing everyone but Lightning Bug.
He escaped and took to living in the wilderness. Eventually he started attacking grocery stores,
department stores, and other places of human commerce. Lightning Bug met Hive and the
two became instant allies (perhaps because of chemical scents). Although Hive is considered
the Bugs leader, Lightning Bug considers himself the field leader during all missions and whenever

KILLER BEE

Theodore spark loved insects and spent most of his teen years collecting them. He spent a
great deal of his youth with a beekeeper learning the in and outs of the trade. When he went to
school, he focused most of his time with entomology learning all he could about insects. His
parents however insisted he do something that would allow his genius to earn him a true living.
Theodore devoted himself to biogeography and biochemistry, particularly the effects it had on
insects. In time he became an expert on the subject matter of insects, especially honeybees.
One day he decided to see if it was possible to bio-engineer honeybees to create new and
different types of honey. He began experimenting in molecular biology with the bees and in time
he did create honeybees that produced new and amazing honey flavors. Then unbeknownst to
him, a colony of African killer bees invaded his experimental colony and killed it off while he was
away. The bees ate the honey and it changed them. When he opened the beehive, he was
attacked by these experimental killer bees. He was stung hundreds of time. Their venom and the
consumption of the bio-engineered honey turned him into a humanoid bee. In a matter of days,
he sanity vanished as he saw himself more as a bee person. A few weeks later, Killer Bee and his
swarm of bees attacked everyone in the store. Before long Killer Bee declared war on humanity
in search of honey and sugar. U.S. S.C.R.E.T. is actively searching for him, but so far he has
escaped capture. At some point, he encountered Dragon Fly and the two became allies. When
Dragon Fly joined the Bugs he brought Killer Bee with him. Killer Bee follows the commands of
Lightning Bug and Hive, but his ultimate motive for anything is to obtain sugar and honey,
nothing else matters. He does however enjoy killing humans.

WAR FLY

The war fly is an experiment of a secret laboratory trying to turn bluebottle bristle flies into
mutant animals for the purpose of war. The experiment produced eight vicious, murderous,
insect predators the feed on the blood and flesh (particularly internal organs) of other life forms.
However, the insect men proved to be hostile and aggressive in the extreme. The plan called for
using a special chemical agent to wipe them out. Instead, the flies became frenzied killers in a
hyper state of anger and hostility. The bugs smashed their way out of their confined killed
everyone in the lab. US S.C.R.E.T. systematically hunted the seven insects down one by one.
However, the final one was never captured. Dragon Fly discovered it and using his control over
insects has managed to obtain tame its aggression and convince it to acknowledge the other
Bugs as members of its colony. Hive further ensures its loyalty by injects meat with a
chemical that convinces its chemical detection that the other Bugs are similar to itself. The War
Fly and Battle Ant work as a tag team (namely because they are not fliers). In this regard,
Hive also acknowledges they are also the two Bugs that are expendable if the situation calls

BLACK BEETLE

Jason Heart vowed to teach everyone who did him wrong a lesson. Using his gifted intellect, he
created a battle suit that allowed him to shrink to 6 inches (15 cm) and a deadly toxin to kill
those he sought after. But an unforeseen side effect also occurred, the battle suit created six
duplicates of himself wearing the suit. Now he was able to attack his enemies as a mini-swarm.
With his enemies dead, he began a life of crime as a bank robber, easily able to escape his
enemies by shrinking and flying away. He was discovered by Lightning Bug and invited to join the
others Bugs. The problem is the other bugs do not recognize him as a true insect, and will
attack him on sight if he even steps out of his bug battle suit. As far as Jason is concerned, the
risk is worth it because they don’t care about money or precious items. This means when the
Bugs destroy or attack a facility he takes all the valuables for himself. He plans on staying with
them long enough to make enough money to live a life of comfort for a long time. He is unaware
that Lightning Bug and Hive are simply using his human intellect for their own purposes. He is

Last post was October 19, 2010. Which means its time to climb into the attic (kind of hard to do
right now with two hernias) and find some HU NPCS to convert into 2nd edition. This time I'm
going to do a combination conversion of my own NPCS and re-do of some heroes and villains from
Villains Unlimited (even though Cardiac did them already). The reason is PU 2 and PU 3 didn't come
out during Cardiac's conversion and Armageddon Unlimited will be release soon (today's date is
1/3/2011) and I can't wait anymore. So in the spirit of this upcoming
release, a burst of creative energy, and some other writing of my own. Let's get scary and
prepare ourselves for the Creatures of the Night, along with Dirk Nightwalker and Lady Dracula.
Watch for them soon.

PROJECT BLOCKHOUSE
A Government Experiment that created Human Vampires

Project Blockhouse was a secret government experiment designed to turn ordinary people
into metahumans with superhuman strength, very dense muscle and bone tissue, and steel-hard
skin. First genetic material was taken from a government employed mutant named xxxxxxxx
then injected into test subjects who then received various doses of radiation and other bonding
agents in an attempt to get the mutant DNA to unite with their cells in the hope of transferring
his super abilities to them. This went on for an entire year and produced disappointing results for
the 48 volunteers. In time the project was cancelled because of cutbacks and the failure to
produce a single super-being. The test subjects were given a generous layoff (equal to excellent
agency salary) and sent back to their normal lives. As far as the government was concerned,
the experiment was over.

Six months later 33 of the 48 volunteers began to develop strange powers unrelated to
the original intent of the experiment. Some developed odd skin pigmentation, massive hair
growth, an increase in mass, or a need to feed on the potential psychic energy (P.P.E.) of living
individuals in the form of drawing blood. All of them developed a strange vulnerability to silver,
sunlight, wood, an allergy toward garlic, and a phobia toward noted religious icons
(hagiophobia-fear or holy things). For all intents and purposes, these people became vampires.
They even developed alter egos that incorporated the transformation into their daily life
(meaning they detain their traits, talents, skills, and memories).

Skeptical psychiatrists insisted the vampire fixation was a fluke psychological
manifestation completely unrelated to Project Blockhouse. Nevertheless, thirty-three of the test
subjects all demonstrate a strong resemblance to the undead. Among the 33 vampires, Robert
Smith was the only one who turned to the government for help. A number of tests were
performed on him but none of them discovered the reason behind the vampire transformation.
The tests also proved Robert could feed on P.P.E. without needing to draw blood. Instead, he
performed an invisible, harmless psionic attack that drew out P.P.E without anyone noticing
(accept for psychics, practitioners of magic and a small percentage of other super beings).
However, Robert retained a slight blood lust within his personality that has him convinced he
needs blood in order to survive. With the help from a scientist (Dr. John Morris) and a
psychotherapist (Melinda West) from the original project, they convinced him that he need only
take a special drug and a weekly blood transfusion to reduce his blood lust feelings. In reality,
the drugs are a placebo, but Robert’s deep rooted psychosis (power association insanity) has
convinced him that it does. Because of this treatment and the help of his two friends, Robert
Smith retained enough of his original personality to allow the government to recruit him and train
him as special government agent called Dirk Nightwalker. After completing his training, the
government sent him out on a top secret mission, to track down and destroy the other 32
known vampires from the experiment. In the meantime, the government continues to monitor 11
of the individuals from the Project Blockhouse who appear to be completely normal. They are
also request Nightwalker find the last 4 members of the 48 test subjects who have seemingly
disappeared.

Seven of the 33 vampires have come together to form an organize crime ring called the
Minions of the Dark. They are lead by a woman named Sara Martin, who now calls herself Lady
Dracula. She has enlisted an impressive number of criminals and scoundrels into the organization.
The other six vampires worship her as their lord and master and will die serving her. All of them
feed on the blood of the living (human and/or animal, through they prefer human by choice) and
feel superior to normal humans. They are cruel and sadistic, with Lady Dracula being the worst
of them all. Presently she has no interests in searching out for the vampires, but she is well
aware of the activities of Nightwalker and has taken precautions in order to deal with him or any
other vampires.

For more information of Lady Dracula and her macabre nightclub “The Coffin Banger” read Villains
Unlimited 2nd edition (page 174-176).

THE HUMAN VAMPIRE
Note: The following are the typical stats for the 32 subjects turned into human vampires. The

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT

When things go bump in the night, the U.S. government sends out the Creatures of the Night, a
bizarre group of supernatural and super-being misfits. They are all special government agents,
who work out the same top secret department as Dirk Nightwalker. There job is to seek out the
supernatural and destroy it. The government is not interested in research or arresting the
supernatural, however regardless of how it’s destroyed it must be done in way that guarantees
plausible deniability. The CoN goes after psychics, magic practitioners (including those using
weapons and objects), demonic looking individuals, and anything occult orientated. They do not
deal with mutants, experiments, or aliens unless they are believed to be connected with the
supernatural.

The CoN had not been given specific instructions as what sort of supernatural beings to go
after. However, the group works with several creditable parapsychologists and demonologist
(3rd -5th level) to keep themselves faithful to their cause. That being said, the CoN has yet to
go after psychics who are the costume criminal type (Psike-Out) or those who do not engage in
occult like activity (a person like Integrity). However, they would go after Rachel Richardson
because she associates with a demonic looking monster (Lethalis). The CoN is actively going
after the Devil’s Knight (arch enemy), Hellhound, Golden Rod, the Minions of the Dark, and
Shadow Dragon. The unique district status of Century Station does not give the CoN jurisdiction
to operate there. However if the events of “Armageddon Unlimited” become known, the CoN will
be first on the scene.

As federal agents, the CoN receives aid from state and local authorities, the FBI, CIA,
G.I.G.M.A., Project Secure, and S.C.R.E.T. (US, Canada, UK, Russia, France, and Australia). The
Sector and MTF want nothing to do with them. They also receive praise from Interpol and
Scotland Yard. They are not welcomed in the Middle East, Africa, Japan, South East Asia, or the
Vatican (they all consider them to be foul demons).

The CoN operates only at night (namely) because everyone is vulnerable during the day, accept
Doctor Morbid (he a night owl by nature) and Eventide (shadow cloak makes him resistant).
During daylight hours, they are asleep at their fortified headquarters at an antebellum plantation
in St. Francisville Louisiana, near Baton Rouge. A ley line goes right through the plantation
making it a haven for entities and spirits. The two hundred year old cemetery on the property is
used by King Ptah whenever he needs corpses to turn into animated dead. Because of the
haunted reputation of the plantation few venture or the property, including many government
employees and local law enforcements.

B. Equipment: Gimmicked (30 points). Note: The CoP has access to wooden, silver, holy items,

EVENTIDE

Nigel De Santis was a reporter for Focus Magazine and went working on an undercover story
involving the federal government allegedly involved in the creation of super beings. He found a
way to get himself volunteered in a top secret government venture called Project Blockhouse.
For a year he endured the experiment, but no result came about. Nigel went home and began to
write up his story planning on exposing the government about hits hypocrisy in regard to super
beings. Five months before the day he planned to turn in his story, he started to feel strange.
Light from the sun burned his skin. The cross over his head filled him with dread. He started to
crave human blood. The experiment turned him into a vampire. A few days later, he started to
develop unusual shadow powers. He used one of his abilities to create knife that killed a
homeless man and feed on him. He continued to wander the streets feeding on the homeless
during the night. Eventually he was found by a woman he recognized from the experiment only
know she called herself Lady Dracula. She took him in, cleaned him up, and convinced him to join
her secret criminal organized called the Minions of the Night.

Months later, Lady Dracula sent Nigel out to see if he could locate other vampires from the
experiment. Instead he ran into Dirk Nightwalker. The two vampires fought it out. Nigel’s shadow
powers actually inflicted harm on Nightwalker; nonetheless he simply didn’t have the fighting
prowess to overcome him. He was taken down and instead of being killed Nightwalker took him
into custody in the hopes of learning more about the Minions of the Night. At a S.C.R.E.T.
maximum security holding facility, he was interrogated. The researchers of Project Blockhouse
realized they couldn’t do anything with him as they’d done with Nightwalker. The decision was
made to keep him locked up at the holding facility when Lord Arcane, the world’s greatest hero
sorcerer and leader of the Order of the Three, convinced Robert Fitzgibbons (head of the
government’s S.A.T.A.R. Program) to form a GSTF (Government Superhuman Task Force) to deal
specifically with supernatural threats and have Nigel be its first member. Nigel agreed because
he looking for an opportunity to redeem himself. Unfortunately, the guilt of all the evil he
committed as a member of the Minions of the Night made it impossible for him to believe he
could do anything to make up for his crimes. Nonetheless, he vowed to kill everything
supernatural until he was the only thing left and then he would take his own life. After the
Creatures of the Night were created, Nigel became the team’s leader. Several weeks later, Kigh
Ptah replaced him because of his black and white view of the world. Nigel vows to be the one to
personally kill Lady Dracula. Once the threat of the supernatural menace is removed from the
United States, he will target his own teammates and any other “heroic” supernatural being until
he is the only one left and then he will destroy himself. It is unknown if anything could ever
remove the self-loathsome Nigel has for himself and his teammates, but he will not do anything
to jeopardize their mission, not until the supernatural threat has been removed.

Age: 28, Sex: male, Height: 6 foot and 1 inch (1.85 m), Weight: 180 lbs (81 kg)
Insanity: Righteous Indignation: Nigel believes the supernatural must be destroyed at all
cost. He doesn’t believe anything supernatural (including himself) can be redeemed completely
so it must be killed. He is a gentle and compassions person to the good and innocent, but
judgmental, brutal, and reactionary toward all things supernatural. These feelings extend to the
use of magic weapons and knowledge. In his mind, he will kill (or imprison) a teenage boy who
even looks at a spell book before he grows up to be an evil wizard. The book must be destroyed
even if the book was given to the boy by a spirit or being of supernatural benevolence. The
supernatural cannot be trusted, and includes himself and his teammates.

to spell magic, magic weapons, and psionic attacks. Note: Nigel cuts his victims and draws
P.P.E. from them (1D6+1) but he doesn’t kill normal people (if he can help it). However, he does

THE GHOST QUEEN

Elaine Gledhill began her life in 1864 in Westminster, England. She grew up in poverty. Her
mother died of typhoid when she was 12. Her father put her to work at an early age. Eventually
she grew tired of his abuse and ran away. She took to a life on the streets. She spent the next
seven years of her life doing whatever she needed to do in order to survive. Then one night in
September of 1888, while walking down an alley she was proposition by a strange cloaked man.
She accepted his invitation, but shortly after giving him a kiss, he stabbed her in the throat. He
dragged her body away in to a dark alcove then presided to commit unspeakable acts to it. On
October 2, 1888, her headless torso was discovered at the construction site of the Great
Scotland Yard on Whitehall road. Her right arm had been discovered earlier in the muddy shore
of the River Thames on September 11. Later, a reporter and his dog found her left leg buried
near the construction site. Her head and remaining limbs were never found, thus her true
identity was never learned by anyone. Newspapers suggested a tie to the Jack the Ripper’s
killings that were occurring simultaneously, but the Metropolitan Police said there was no
connection. Thus it has become a point that Scotland Yard, one of the world’s best-known
police agencies, was built overtop the crime scene of an unsolved murder.

Elaine’s spirit could not find rest. In the beginning, she haunted Whitehall Street trying
desperately to speak to anyone to tell what happened to her. But no one ever saw her, and
those who did refused to believe what they saw. As the days turned into weeks, and eventually
years, her spirit grew even more distressed and with that came power. On the 25th anniversary
of her death, she became strong enough to create a physical body of flesh. Soon the legend of
the Phantom of Whitehall was born. Each night she walked the earth protecting the innocent
from ill harm. Eventually she was found by Seraphis who invited her to come with him to
forsaken her life as a mere shade. Her arm was cremated and put into an urn, thus allowing
Serapis to take them to the United States. Elaine is now a spirit who haunts the streets of
America with the other Creature of the Night. She continues to mourn her death and wishes she
could experience life as a true living person once more. She developing feelings for Nigel but his
self-loathsome keeps him from seeing her and himself as anything but supernatural monsters.

CANIS

All his life Wilbur loved to be around dogs. He seemed to have a natural affinity towards them.
After high school, he went into the US Army. After a while he knew he wanted to incorporate his
love of dogs with his army training so he became a member of the U.S. Army Pathfinders as a
K-9 Corp Specialist. His dog was a german shepherd/wolf mix named Demon. After four years,
Wilber was transfered to a military base in Germany. Here he was using his expertise to teach
police and civilian CT teams. Demon was his constant companion. One night when he was taking
Demon for a walk, the two of them were attacked by a rapid looking wolfhound. Although Wilber
was bitten only once, Demon managed to fight the creature off. Unfortunately, his injuries were
so severe he died. Wilbur was devastated and found it impossible to continue doing his job. He
also began to experience weird sensations at night. A month and half later, on the night of a full
moon, he transformed into a huge black wolf and went on a killing spree. The next morning he
read about it in the paper. He put two and two together and realized he was the creature. He
went AWOL thinking himself cursed. When he sneaked back into America he went into a life of
hiding, sealing himself away during nights of the full moon. The one night he had a chance
encounter with Dirk Nightwalker. Together the vampire and the "were wolf" fought tooth and
nail. Dirk Managed to defeat him and brought him back to Project Blockhouse secret lab. There
the truth was revealed to Wilber that he was a mutant, with a unique gift. He was recruited to
join the Creatures of the Night. Canis is trying to establish a friendship with Eventide. The
vampires knows Wilbur is not a true were-wolf but that doesn't stop him from calling him one.
Wilbur loves being around his dogs, but at night he becomes one to track down the supernatural
and destroy it.
