MERRY LEGS
At first she was intrigued by the human with the power to control greater and lesser deevils.
When she attempted to put him under her charms, he proved impossible to manipulate so she
had to rely on natural charm, beauty, and sex appeal. Instead of capturing her, she got herself
charmed my his superior charisma and perhaps his powerful influence over deevils. When she
came to HU Earth, she delighted in being his instrument of destruction and dispatch of foolish
mortals. When it came time to play the role of a wife, she was less than enthusiastic about the
role but she did as instructed. Later they moved to Century Station, she found more delight
searching the city streets for things to keep herself busy. Max used her to secure his position
within the city becoming city councilman. She would have hoped he could rose to a higher
ranking but now the time has come to destroy the human world. In her mind it was fun while it
lasted. Then to her complete surprise, she learned that as a reward for Max loyalty toward the
deevil goals, Sahtalus rewarded him with her true name. Now she is a true servant to her
husband and cannot lay a finger against him even if she wanted too. She is unsure if she really
loves the man, but she will do whatever is necessary to protect him from ill harm. She acts as a
lieutenant and is always by his side unless she is needed for other activities that suit her
temptress nature. She is still completely loyal to Sahtalus.

MARADEATH
Carol Telnes was attending her sophomore year at USC, hoping to major in Health and Fitness,
and become a personal trainer in the early 1980. She started dating this handsome teen from
Europe. Before she knew it, she’d fallen in love with the man. One day he decided to take her to
his parents. She packed her bags and by the time he came over the next day, she was ready to
go. She even vowed to go to the ends of the Earth with him. As it turned out, he wasn’t even
from the Earth. He grabbed a hold of her and they vanished to Dyval. The man was really a
devilkin and Carol was now a slave in Dyval. She was taken to the Citadel of Diabolus where she
was put to work. For three long months, Carol endured the hardships of being a slave to a Deevil
Lord. She eventually met another slave named Madxell Dieldum, a mercenary from the world of
Palladium Fantasy. The two developed a close and passionate relationship. A few weeks later,
Madxell became one of the many twisted experiments of Diabolus and Carol never saw him again.
Unbeknownst to Carol, she became with child.
Three months later, a 10th level Regent Arch Fiend named Atxcuh had been in the Phase World
Dimension (he possessed the powers of Psionic Master, Inner Power, and Mask the
Supernatural). The Arch Fiend’s discorporate form after 20 years returned to its native level of
Dyval. Instead of the long wait, it wanted to short the period so it searched for a female host
with child. By this time, Carol had become a loyal slave (as loyal as one can be) to the Deevil
Lord. While working at the River Falls Base, the spirit of Atxcuh took possession of the unborn
child of Carol and Madxell. However, there was something strange about this child. Madxell had
already been subjected to one bathing in Bio-Vat before he became Carol’s lover. No noticeable
effects had occurred to him. The truth is they occurred at the genetic level and those genes
where passed on to his unborn son. When the arch fiend merged with the embryo mutant, the
two bonded together and became a new life form, a “deevilsp%&@”. This creature formed a
symbiotic relationship with Carol bestowing onto her incredible powers involving the draining and
manipulation of life force energy within living things, particularly mortals. Carol used her powers
to Fiend and stole his “super ability” to dimensional teleport. She managed to return to HU
Earth, only twenty years had passed. Her family declared her dead and went on with their lives.
Lost from the world she knew, Carol decided to use her new found abilities to bring good to the
world. Calling herself Persephone, she tried to become a heroic champion. Unfortunately, her
powers required her to use the health of living beings. She tried to target her attacks on
“criminals” but found it ever more frequent to use “innocent by-standers.” Furthermore, Atxcuh
continued to speak and talk to her, force her down a darker and more sinister trail. Soon she
was as ruthless as the criminals she fought against. The Jury sent operatives after her. She
killed two of them and put two others in the hospital. By know, Carol was psychotic killer under
the influence of her unborn deevil offspring.
Carol encountered a number of super beings she was about to destroy when her offspring
through her eyes recognized a Fiend in human form. She spoke with the deevil and was given
the chance to speak with Sub-Regent Bone Crusher. The powerful Arch Fiend knew about Atxcuh
demise and said nothing could be done to help it in its present condition, however he and his
host could serve the Deevil cause by bringing about Armageddon. Carol and Atxcuh agreed.
Now she serves as a member of the Tiger Beasts. She attempts to talk to Reich in an arrogant
manner and he is getting sick and tired of her, at some point he will simply kill her and her unborn
freak of nature. She is attracted to Stealth Fighter, but he wants nothing to do with her. She is
also attracted to General Death, he unlike Stealth Fighter has returned the affections. Carol is
still being hunted by The Jury and by Great Britain’s S.C.R.E.T. She once a formed a brief
partnership with Doctor Fright, and would be willing to work with him again, if the mission
involved lots of death and destruction.

PARIAH
The angel Pariah was once a champion of light and justice, a destroyer of the forces of darkness
and evil. Her fighting prowess became so legendary the Deevil Lord Mephisto put a bounty on
her head. Nevertheless, Pariah defeated every opponent who dared challenged her. So Mephisto
decided to become even more cunning. He used a geas spell on a handsome knight in PF and
sent him on a dangerous quest to find a long lost magic artifact that it would bring peace and
harmony to the Timiro Kingdom. The knight made his way to the Old Kingdom Mountains facing
numerous perils all along the way. Soon word of this brave lone knight bravery reached the ears
of Pariah. She wanted to see how well this champion performed so she went to investigate.
Deep in a dark forbidden castle the knight search for the magic weapon unsuspecting that
Pariah was there watching him. Soon he came to a great room and there before him was a large
golden mirror. When the knight went before the mirror, he saw nothing. When Pariah saw the
mirror she found herself suddenly drawn to the mirror, it then opened like a great black hole.
Despite all her effort she couldn’t escape the mirror and soon she was trapped inside its glass.
At that moment, four Beast Deevils (6-8th level) arrived. Their combined might was too much for
the knight and they killed him. They took the mirror and vanished to Dyval. Soon the mirror with
Pariah trapped inside was presented to the Deevil Lord. He laughed and rejoiced. He hung the
mirror in his personal domicile. Fifty years later, Pariah started to resent not her own foolishness
but the stupid human that tricked her. She then began to blame all of humanity for her folly. The
more time she spent watching the fiend Mephisto the more she began to delight in his cruelty.
She begged him to show her more. He took her to places to watch slaves get beaten, tortured,
and mutilated. Pariah laughed with glee. Later she was taken to see Chase, a fellow spirit of
light. She delighted in seeing him covered with Mystic Leeches. Chase responded by telling her
that she was fallen. She then went berserk and begged to be let out to kill the little angel.
Afterward Mephisto indeed let her out. Instead of trying to escape, Pariah bowed and swore
unwavering loyalty toward the Deevil Lord. As a show of faith before he decides to utilize her
talent for his true purpose, she is being sent to HU Earth to prove herself. While she is a member
of the Devil Dragons, her main role is to seek out Champions of Light and Heroic Hellions and kill
them!!! Possessing as a champion of light, when she gets close enough she betrays them with a
sword in the back. Already she has slain six Champions and four Heroic Hellions without anyone
learning the truth about her. Presently, she is trying to get in contact with the Order of Three so
she can kill the three mystical protectors of Earth, specifically Lord Arcane. She also wants to
take out Night Prince, the All Crusader Squad, and the Creatures of the Night. There is no
turning back for Pariah, she maybe a Spirit of Light, but as far as she is concerned she wants to
spend the rest of her life in Dyval among deevils and watch mortals burn in Armageddon’s
flames.

The angel Pariah was once a champion of light and justice, a destroyer of the forces of darkness
and evil. Her fighting prowess became so legendary the Deevil Lord Mephisto put a bounty on
her head. Nevertheless, Pariah defeated every opponent who dared challenged her. So Mephisto
decided to become even more cunning. He used a geas spell on a handsome knight in PF and
sent him on a dangerous quest to find a long lost magic artifact that it would bring peace and
harmony to the Timiro Kingdom. The knight made his way to the Old Kingdom Mountains facing
numerous perils all along the way. Soon word of this brave lone knight bravery reached the ears
of Pariah. She wanted to see how well this champion performed so she went to investigate.
Deep in a dark forbidden castle the knight search for the magic weapon unsuspecting that
Pariah was there watching him. Soon he came to a great room and there before him was a large
golden mirror. When the knight went before the mirror, he saw nothing. When Pariah saw the
mirror she found herself suddenly drawn to the mirror, it then opened like a great black hole.
Despite all her effort she couldn’t escape the mirror and soon she was trapped inside its glass.
At that moment, four Beast Deevils (6-8th level) arrived. Their combined might was too much for
the knight and they killed him. They took the mirror and vanished to Dyval. Soon the mirror with
Pariah trapped inside was presented to the Deevil Lord. He laughed and rejoiced. He hung the
mirror in his personal domicile. Fifty years later, Pariah started to resent not her own foolishness
but the stupid human that tricked her. She then began to blame all of humanity for her folly. The
more time she spent watching the fiend Mephisto the more she began to delight in his cruelty.
She begged him to show her more. He took her to places to watch slaves get beaten, tortured,
and mutilated. Pariah laughed with glee. Later she was taken to see Chase, a fellow spirit of
light. She delighted in seeing him covered with Mystic Leeches. Chase responded by telling her
that she was fallen. She then went berserk and begged to be let out to kill the little angel.
Afterward Mephisto indeed let her out. Instead of trying to escape, Pariah bowed and swore
unwavering loyalty toward the Deevil Lord. As a show of faith before he decides to utilize her
talent for his true purpose, she is being sent to HU Earth to prove herself. While she is a member
of the Devil Dragons, her main role is to seek out Champions of Light and Heroic Hellions and kill
them!!! Possessing as a champion of light, when she gets close enough she betrays them with a
sword in the back. Already she has slain six Champions and four Heroic Hellions without anyone
learning the truth about her. Presently, she is trying to get in contact with the Order of Three so
she can kill the three mystical protectors of Earth, specifically Lord Arcane. She also wants to
take out Night Prince, the All Crusader Squad, and the Creatures of the Night. There is no
turning back for Pariah, she maybe a Spirit of Light, but as far as she is concerned she wants to
spend the rest of her life in Dyval among deevils and watch mortals burn in Armageddon’s
flames.

TANTRUM
After a devastating earthquake, this monster rose out of the ocean depths and started
rampaging all over the Ryukyu Island. As the monster started to make his way to Japan, a famed
technological super hero name Gad-jet and his flying robot Titan Man attempted to do battle
with the monster. They didn’t fare well at all. However, Gad-Jet has been working on a device
that possessed the power to channel and direct dimensional energy. He fired the powerful blast
at the creature, which did hurt the creature (slightly) but what he really did was tear open a
small rift to Dyval. The monster arrived in Dyval Prime and immediately started destroying
everything that go in his way. By the time he was put down, he killed 80 lesser deevil and 13
greater deevils. Diabolus tried to study the creature, but it revived and escaped out of its
confines, killing a dozen more lesser deevils. Finally, he teleported the creature to his East
Sanctuary, where he watched it destroy many of his new creations. Sahtalus arrived to observe
the monster and decided they needed it to send it to the Great Rift in Palladium Fantasy. So
they did, here the monster earned the name Tantrum by demons because when it go mad, it
through a temper tantrum and destroyed everything in its path. After killing two greater demons
and taking their weapons, a Raksasha tricked the creature into falling into the Great Rift where
it ended up back in HU Earth. By this time, Doctor Vilde tried communicating with the creature
and found out if you feed it the thing starts to calm down. In time the good doctor formed a
strong bond with Tantrum. He informed Shogun of his discovery and insisted Tantrum be used as
one of their weapons. Tantrum stays on an island 15 miles south of Doctor Vilde’s island. Its
uninhabited but their plenty of vegetation for him to graze on. When he’s needed, the Death
Bringer sends a signal, and Tantrum follows it like an obedient dog. He goes where he is needed
and causes as much destruction as the Deevil force want him too. The Peace Keeper League
has fought him already. The American spent three weeks in intensive care afterward. Japan’s
S.C.R.E.T. is simply incapable of doing anything to him (it’s sort of like Godzilla coming to town).

SHOCKWAVE
When Sandy Young was 5 years old, her ultra rich lawyer father put her on a bicycle and
watched her ride around in the yard. He turned his head just for a moment and she rode into the
street and was struck by a car. Days later while she was recovering in the hospital, the doctors
told her parents that she would be paralyzed from the neck down. Fortunately her father and
real estate mother had the money to look after her. They also use their money to find any
means necessary to get their daughter back to health. They finally decided on a “meditative
specialist” who claimed he could help people tap into their inner psyche and do amazing things.
This strange doctor/therapist came to see Sandy every day for an hour. Slowly he began to
produce results. Sandy could move objects with her mind including her own body off the bed.
Her parents did all they could to conceal this knowledge and immediately fired the doctor not
wanting their child to become a freak of nature. They then forbid Sandy to ever use these
powers again. When she was six year old, Sandy watched a movie about Armageddon. It scared
her so much she started having nightmare about it. She was trapped and if everyone died no
one could take care of her or what if the blast came and nobody could mover her. Her parents
tried to calm her fears, but Sandy kept dwelling on it over and over again. When she was seven
years old, her parents brought in a psychiatrist to talk to her about. By this time Sandy was
completely delusional about Armageddon happening. She started to scream, “The end of the
world is coming and I shall be the cause.” She then mentally hurled the psychiatrist out the
window. Her parents were now completely worried about her and call the strange doctor again.
He returned but instead of trying to help Sandy with her fears he helped her master her
awesome mental abilities, making her a titan among mortals. After a month, her parents were
enraged that their daughter was still as delusional as ever. Under the doctor orders, Sandy
strangled her parents. The doctor arranged it to appear an accident happened at the house
that killed her parents, but Sandy managed to survive. Having no close relatives, the good
doctor became Sandy’s ward.
By the time Sandy was 12 years old, she was hovering/flying and able to do virtually anything
with her powers that her hands could do. The good doctor decided to use his daughter to make
him master of the world. One day he took her into a bank and had her help him rob it. When the
police came, Sandy crushed them all. The doctor and her got away. This went on for four years.
Sandy was given the name Shockwave by the media. Various inexperienced super heroes tried
to stop her, she killed them all, literally tearing them in half, or ripping off their limbs. All the
while Sandy spouted delusional beliefs of Armageddon coming and how she would be the cause.
Finally Sandy and the doctor attacked the Mayor of Gulf Coast City. After taking over his house,
the doctor declared him emperor over the city. U.S. S.C.R.E.T. responded as did a nameless
Hunter/Vigilante. Sandy was busy taking out S.C.R.E.T. when the hunter killed the doctor with a
sniper shot. Sandy went berserk. She brought the entire house down then disappeared. Sandy.
For four years she remained unnoticed by the public. It was during this time, she formed a
relationship with a hardware super villain named the Mechanic. He took care of her and devised
a special headband to help her compensate in any that she could never do before. Playing upon
her delusions, he told her go out to bring about Armageddon. Sandy did so by attacking Gulf
Coast City. She caused about $100 million dollars in damage before she was finally repelled by
heroic champions and escaped. This went on for over two decades, Sandy suddenly appearing
out of nowhere and trying to destroy an entire city, each time she was repelled by heroic
champions and/or U.S. S.C.R.E.T. but managing to escape capture.
Seven months ago, Sandy was about to target Century Station for the first time when she was
confronted by Doctor Vilde and Dark Omega. He wanted to help her fulfill her destiny and bring
about Armageddon. Something about him reminded her of the good doctor that helped her. So
she agreed. Now Shockwave is no longer targeting the United States, but Europe as a member
of the Tiger Beasts. She has targeted Paris, Rome, Berlin, Athens, Madrid, etc. None of the
European S.C.R.E.T. have been able to stop her as of yet. Great Britain S.C.R.E.T. is preparing
when she finally decided to target London, which will be one day soon. In fact it’s her duty to
attack London while the Chaos Generator gets ready to go online to keep S.C.R.E.T. distracted.
Lord Arcane believes Shockwave is somehow connected with the Deevils plans but he’s not sure
how. Joan of Arc also believes Shockwave plays a vital role in the upcoming disaster.
Peacekeeper League is on stand-by to go to Europe the moment Shockwave makes an
appearance in any major city. Unbeknownst to all, Emperor Danilek (the Usurper) has decided he
wants to convince Shockwave to work for him and so has the Dark Tribunal. All eyes are on
Shockwave who it appears will have her dream as being the all important key to Armageddon.

Last of the Mega Villain Bad guys for Armageddon Unlimited
BLACK SNAKE
The story of Black Snake is unknown. He will not talk about his origin or how he came to
being an immortal. Clearly someone helped him along the way because he knows nothing
about the process. He doesn’t even known the location of where his Secret Heart was
taken 331 years ago in the Himalayan Mountains. However, since that time he has become a
deadly assassin, a man who walks up to his opponents and kills them without leaving a mark
on their body. He is a kind, descent man who has no problem killing people whom he is
contacted to kill. He doesn’t do it for money or anything of value, he kills because the
taking of another life bring him pleasure. It was Shogun who contacted him and invited him
to join the Deevil Dragons. Black Snake does not know the full details of the Armageddon
plan but it’s doubtful he will even care because his survival is still assured. If something
threatens his existence, then he will do whatever is necessary to ensure he lives and all
who threaten his immortality die. Presently he is in China living among normal people waiting
to be called upon. He is always reliable and willing to do whatever services of his are
required.
Real Name: Unknown
Alias: Ayumu Yi Xu
Occupation: Wandering Assassin, Member of the Deevil Dragons
Alignment: Aberrant
Power Category: Heartless Immortal (Ancient Master)
Experience Level: 16th
Hit Points: 96 S.D.C. 68
P.P.E.: 21
Chi.: 336
Appearance: He appears as a middle age Chinese man. Nothing about him would lead
anyone to suspect he is a deadly assassin. He wears simple 19th century Chinese clothes
and his long black hair that goes down to his waist.
Attributes: I.Q. 10, M.E. 32, M.A. 16, P.S. 15 P.P. 25, P.E. 21, Spd 13, P.B. 14.
Age: 373. Sex: Male. Height: 5 foot, 9 inches (1.79 m). Weight: 135 lbs (60.75 kg)
Vulnerability: His Secret Heart is buried in a tiny cave in the Himalayan Mountains
(China side). Inside are all his internal organs and Chi-Spirit. Should anyone hold the Secret
Heart he becomes helpless/paralyzed. Destroy the Secret Heart and he dies. The Secret
Heart has A.R. 8 and 20 S.D.C. and 6 hit points. The Heart is held inside a sealed mystical
urn that is indestructible. It can only be opened with an escape spell. Black Snake doesn’t
know its location. The odds of anyone simply finding the urn are astronomically. No one is
alive who knows where the urn is located. It’s an elevation of 19,000 feet (5791.2 m) or
3.59 miles. He is vulnerable to psionic attacks. He also functions on an “auto-pilot” for most
mundane tasks (anything done on a regular basis, i.e., taking a bath, eating, walking to his
destination, etc). He is for the most part emotionless.
Power of Immortality: None of his internal organs or heart is in his body. He can
regenerate within 24 hours if only a tiny piece of ash or a single cell remains of his body.
Lost limbs (including his head) and body damage can be regenerate in 3D4 minutes (2D6 hit
points/3D6 S.D.C. every melee). His entire body can be physically restored in 1D6 hours. He
is impervious to critical strikes, called shots, and deathblows to his torso and head. All
attacks/weapons inflict only one-quarter of their normal damage (reduce damage by 75%).
Destroying his brain will not kill him. He doesn’t truly feel pain or fatigue. He doesn’t have to
eat, breath, or drink (no internal organs).
Special Combat Training: Snake Style Kung-Fu
Martial Arts Powers: Chi Zoshiki/Mystic Invisibility 98% (cost one melee action
and one chi point per action/attack to remain invisible), Calm Minds (Range: 120 feet
(36.6 m), Damage: Everyone in area of effect must save vs. psionics (16) or will stop
attacking {can defend normally or flee} and is unable to resume any offensive actions until
duration is over, also dispels fear and other hysterical emotions, neutralizes psionic and
magic mind control or emotion attacks, he cannot engage in combat while using this ability,
Duration: 3 minutes, Cost: 1 Chi), Mind Walk, essentially an astral body (cost 1 chi),
One Finger Chi, Range: 30 feet (9.1 m), Damage: 1 point of Chi equal 3 points of
damage (10 Chi equal 30 points of damge), Cannot be parried or dodge, but can be Roll with
Punch, Bonus: +3 to strike (no other bonus), Vibrating Palm, Range: Touch, Damage: 1
point of damage that double each succeeding melee round. No attacks, actions, or defenses
can be performed, not even talking. Character can withstand 20 S.D.C. or 8 hit points of
damage before having attack disrupted then must start over with 1 point of initial damage

BLACK SNAKE
The story of Black Snake is unknown. He will not talk about his origin or how he came to
being an immortal. Clearly someone helped him along the way because he knows nothing
about the process. He doesn’t even known the location of where his Secret Heart was
taken 331 years ago in the Himalayan Mountains. However, since that time he has become a
deadly assassin, a man who walks up to his opponents and kills them without leaving a mark
on their body. He is a kind, descent man who has no problem killing people whom he is
contacted to kill. He doesn’t do it for money or anything of value, he kills because the
taking of another life bring him pleasure. It was Shogun who contacted him and invited him
to join the Deevil Dragons. Black Snake does not know the full details of the Armageddon
plan but it’s doubtful he will even care because his survival is still assured. If something
threatens his existence, then he will do whatever is necessary to ensure he lives and all
who threaten his immortality die. Presently he is in China living among normal people waiting
to be called upon. He is always reliable and willing to do whatever services of his are
required.
Real Name: Unknown
Alias: Ayumu Yi Xu
Occupation: Wandering Assassin, Member of the Deevil Dragons
Alignment: Aberrant
Power Category: Heartless Immortal (Ancient Master)
Experience Level: 16th
Hit Points: 96 S.D.C. 68
P.P.E.: 21
Chi.: 336
Appearance: He appears as a middle age Chinese man. Nothing about him would lead
anyone to suspect he is a deadly assassin. He wears simple 19th century Chinese clothes
and his long black hair that goes down to his waist.
Attributes: I.Q. 10, M.E. 32, M.A. 16, P.S. 15 P.P. 25, P.E. 21, Spd 13, P.B. 14.
Age: 373. Sex: Male. Height: 5 foot, 9 inches (1.79 m). Weight: 135 lbs (60.75 kg)
Vulnerability: His Secret Heart is buried in a tiny cave in the Himalayan Mountains
(China side). Inside are all his internal organs and Chi-Spirit. Should anyone hold the Secret
Heart he becomes helpless/paralyzed. Destroy the Secret Heart and he dies. The Secret
Heart has A.R. 8 and 20 S.D.C. and 6 hit points. The Heart is held inside a sealed mystical
urn that is indestructible. It can only be opened with an escape spell. Black Snake doesn’t
know its location. The odds of anyone simply finding the urn are astronomically. No one is
alive who knows where the urn is located. It’s an elevation of 19,000 feet (5791.2 m) or
3.59 miles. He is vulnerable to psionic attacks. He also functions on an “auto-pilot” for most
mundane tasks (anything done on a regular basis, i.e., taking a bath, eating, walking to his
destination, etc). He is for the most part emotionless.
Power of Immortality: None of his internal organs or heart is in his body. He can
regenerate within 24 hours if only a tiny piece of ash or a single cell remains of his body.
Lost limbs (including his head) and body damage can be regenerate in 3D4 minutes (2D6 hit
points/3D6 S.D.C. every melee). His entire body can be physically restored in 1D6 hours. He
is impervious to critical strikes, called shots, and deathblows to his torso and head. All
attacks/weapons inflict only one-quarter of their normal damage (reduce damage by 75%).
Destroying his brain will not kill him. He doesn’t truly feel pain or fatigue. He doesn’t have to
eat, breath, or drink (no internal organs).

MINDCASTER
Mindcaster was once a Duke for the Demon Lord Abdul-Ra. When his master disappeared,
Mindcaster led the investigation to discover where his lord and master went. When
Abdul-Ra eventually made his return, he told no one what had happened to him but his
closest advisor. Mindcaster was shocked and horrified, yet he was also intrigued. Could a
Demon and Deevil Lord find love? If such a thing were possible, could the same happen to
a demon such as himself? Mindcaster decided to investigate. He journeyed to dimension of
Palladium Fantasy and traveled about the Western Empire. Eventually he met a heroic
woman, a female mercenary named Radira Fenen. He joined her and many of her friends
on numerous adventurers. In time, he learned to know love and laughter, and found joy
and beauty in many things, but most of all he found friendship. During one adventure, the
group made their way deep into the Old Kingdom. They soon came across a large castle
ruled by an evil kobold summoner. The group battle their way through the mage defenses
until they reached his sanctuary deep underground. The moment the crossed the
threshold they feel under the powerful magic of his two circles of death. Mindcaster was
about to use his powerful anti-magic cloud spell when the summoner’s minion appeared, a
Raksasha. The two knew each other. The Raksasha declared Mindcaster a traitor to
Abdul-Ra. The two fought one another using psi-swords. In the end, Mindcaster beheaded
his opponent. However, he knew the greater demon would one day reform in Hades and
tell Abdul-Ra what he had done. Sadly the deadly magic killed his companions including
Radira. In her honor, Mindcaster slew the summoner. He then took all the mage’s
possessions, journeyed to Shek’Ra. There he bought himself weapons and sought a new
life in the dimension of Phase World. He stayed there for several decades, living among
the people of Center. He went to the Institute of Magical Arts and learned to be a fully
developed wizard. When the Dimensional Outbreak occurred, Mindcaster fled to the
Gateland and there he journey through the gate to the dimension of Heroes Unlimited.
Here at last he believed he escaped his past. He made his way to Century Station and
took up residence. He became an employee of the World History museum and set up a
secret shop in the hidden sub-basement that he has made everyone forget that its exists
(numerous psionic manipulations). Then one day he witnessed a demon event when 180
demons & deevil destroyed a small town in Colorado. Mindcaster vowed that this world
would not suffer at the hands of his old life. He would fight to protect it. Mindcaster is
now hard at work trying to discover what exactly the Deevils are doing here in this world.
He has learned they are the one working behind the scenes and he is aware they are one
in control of the Church of Unity. Right now his plan is to make contact with Durandal and
convince him of his noble intensions. He has killed several lesser deevils and fought (and
brought to justice) several of their super being minions. The hard part will be convincing
the cities champions and mystical heroes that he’s no longer an evil demon.

HUNTER BOLT
Hunter Bolt was an elf from the village of Silver Fork in the Eastern Territory in the
Highback Plains. During the early years he spent most of this time training to be a
hunter/trapper like father and brother. When he was 40 years old, a group of human
adventurers came to his village to stay the night. Unbeknownst to anyone, the
adventurers narrowly escaped from the Shattered Mountains having raided the stronghold
of a powerful demon worshiping wizard. In a fit of revenge, he made a plea to the Devil
Lord Charun the Cruel. The Demon Lord answered his prayers and sent a Gargoyle Lord
and a dozen gargoyles after the adventures, in return for lifelong servitude. That night
the sub-demons attacked Silver Fork. They killed everyone accept Hunter Bolt because he
just happen to be in the wilderness. When he returned, he found everyone he knew and
cared about slaughtered. He vowed revenge and swore he’d spend the rest of his life
hunting down whoever did this and making them pay with their lives. At that moment, a
cheruu appeared beside him with the Bow of Celestial Order. The angle told him, one of
the adventurers possessed the bow, but instead of using it for its true purpose, put it to
ill use. With his death, the bow no belonged to him. Hunter Bolt vowed to use the bow to
slay the demons responsible for the destruction of his family. For the next twenty years,
Hunter Bolt searched the region, doing many good deeds with his bow, but he eventually
found the strong hold of the evil wizard. The man had a permanent circle of Dimensional
Rift that allowed him to go to Hades. Hunter not only managed to survive in Hades for
thirty years, he liberated dozens of slaves from various locations. Soon a bounty was
placed upon his head, but no Demon or underling managed to even remotely come close
to capturing him. Finally, he met the Gargoyle Lord responsible for killing his family and the
wizard. He killed them both and managed to inflict an insignificant wound on the Demon
Lord Charun. He returned to the Palladium Fantasy world satisfied with his
accomplishments. He went to live in the Timiro Kingdom to escape his past. For twenty
years he lived a quiet life in Nisi when he was asked by a High Priest from the Cult of the
Great One to help search for the numerous missing pieces of Osiris the Lawgiver. For the
last eight years, Hunter search in Dyval for supposedly a body part, but instead he
learned of the Armageddon plot taking place in the Heroes Unlimited dimension. Learning
that the Deevil planned to destroy a world convinced Hunter to abandon his quest and do
whatever he could to save that world. He found a way to escape Dyval and make it back
to Palladium Fantasy. From there he journey back to the wizard stronghold, used the
Dimensional Rift circle to return to Hades where he bought passage to the Heroes
Unlimited dimension. Now here on Earth, Hunter is seeking out the Deevil leaders. He is
under the impression Sub-Regent Bone Crusher is the Deevil responsible for the plot. So
far he knows nothing significant yet, but that might change. Lately he’s been having weird
dreams about a strange city that he must go to (Century Station) and from there he will
find most of his answers.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
The Bow of Celestial Order
Weapon of Order
A Long Bow
The origins of this magical bow are unknown. Some believe it was made during the Age of
a Thousand Magicks, others say it was made by a demi-god son of Cirga the Bowman, and
others believe it was made by Belimar the Dwarf as a gift for Heim. Regardless of how it
was made, the bow has been sought after by bow masters for several millenniums.
Likewise, the forces of evil have also searched for it in an effort to destroy the accursed
weapon. Each time the owner has been slain by a supernatural evil, the bow has been
spirited away by “mysterious means” and it ends up in the hands of a new champion.
Presently that champion is Hunter Bolt. He is unsure if the bow or some other “unseen
presence” is guiding him on his presence path, but he intends to follow it nonetheless and
destroy as many “infernals” that he can until he finds the one responsible for the
destruction of his beloved village. Note: The bow string is supposedly made from the hair
of the arch angel Tao-Bo.
Alignment: Scrupulous
Powers Bestowed to the Wielder by the Weapon of Order: The wielder of the weapon gets the following.
*Add 1D6x10 S.D.C.
*+4 to save vs. Horror Factor and +2 to save vs. all other saving throws.
*+1D4 to P.P.
*The Minor Super Ability of Un-Trackable.
*The Minor Super Ability of Heighten Sense of Balance
*The Minor Super Ability of Targeting
*Battle Dress: Regardless of the type of outfit the individual is wearing, the Bow turns all
of the owner’s clothes, personal possessions, and equipment gold in color with white
trimming. A triangular gold cap (like Robin Hood) appears on the head of the owner with a
long white feather in it (angelic feather). No matter how many times the hat is lost battle,
a new one reappears after 24 hours.
Special Powers of the Bow of Celestial Order: The following abilities can be called
upon by the character linked to the weapon.
Weapon Damage: Any normal arrow fired from the string of the bow does 4D6
points of damage. This does not include the bonus from the minor super ability Targeting.
Range: 1000 feet (304.8 m). Normal arrows fired from the bow are not magical enhanced
and will not harm creatures impervious to normal weapon.
Weapon Bonuses: (See the Minor Super Abilities mentioned above).
Matter Expulsion-Wood: The bow can create and shoot magically generated
wooden arrows (volley of 1-4), fire a burst of splinters, change itself into any wooden
handheld weapon, and cover the owner with wooden armor. Whatever wooden weapon
the bow turns into does the same amount of damage as a standard wooden weapon
would with a +1D6 bonus.
Exploding Arrows: The bow can create exploding arrows that function just like the
Minor Super Ability Exploding Spheres. The only difference the range is 100 feet (30.48 m)
and they always explode on impact and cannot be timed or set to explode on a later date.
They do however float in the air but can only be delivered by the owner firing them from
the bow. They cannot float toward a target on their own or by the mental commands of
the owner of the bow. Additional arrows can be created equal to the minor super ability
as indicated.
Transmutation: The bow can change the material components of any arrow into
another single pure substance or a single compound, for example a typical arrowhead can
be turned into gold, silver, pure iron, ice, lead, etc. The mass of the arrow doesn’t
change. Only a single arrow at a time can be affected. Duration: 1D4 minutes. Note:
Turning the arrow into a liquid or a gas means it can no longer be fired by the bow and
effectively becomes useless, however the owner of the bow could become creative,
depending upon what the G.M. allows.
Turn itself and the wielder invisible: Identical to the Wizard spell Invisibility: Superior
Tongues: The ability to understand and speak any language at will same as the
spell.
Turn the Dead: Identical to the Wizard Spell.
Angelic Guardian: Should the owner of the bow be slain or choose to end his or her
career as the weapons carrier, a Cheruu will suddenly appear and depart with the weapon.
Killing the Cheruu will only result in 1D4+2 additional cheruu arriving to take the bow to a
new handpicked successor, and they won’t be friendly about it. The Cheruu arrive one
melee after the death of the champion but it will never do anything to assist or aid the
owner of the bow. The owner of the bow is always on his or her own, period.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
MASTERA
Cecilia Meadows father once worked as a construction worker in Century Station and her
mother was a house wife going to school to work in real estate. Then her father lost his
job along with thousands of others. Soon they lost their home and had no choice but to
live on the street. The family refused to give up and did whatever they had to in order to
survive. Then things went from bad to worse as Cecilia father was among those killed
during the nuclear attack. This mentally crippled her mother. Weeks later Cecilia went to
the crater to find a strange man standing there. He had tears coming down his eyes. He
blamed himself for the accident. Cecilia told that her father died and she would do
anything to make it better. The man looked at her and asked her if she really meant it.
She did. The man turned out to be Lord Arcane. Using his powerful immortal magic, he
brought her to his secret space satellite home. There he bestowed powerful magic that
turned her into a Knight-Errant for the Order of the Three. Her duty was to help assist in
the protecting of Century Station and to do numerous errands for the Order of the Three.
In the last five years, Cecilia has proved invaluable to the group. Though a young girl, she
has battled numerous enemies, most far more capable then herself and defeated them all.
Her greatest test now comes with helping to protect Earth from the supernatural terrors
coming from numerous Demon Events. The Order of the Three believe the Deevils are
preparing some kind of Armageddon plot against the world but don’t know who exactly is
responsible for it. Cecilia has decided to use her “street lifestyle” to go search the
underbelly of Century Station to find out anything. So far she has learned some strange
ongoing involving the Church of Unity and has decided to investigate it.
Real Name: Cecilia Meadows
Occupation: Knight-Errant for the Order of the Three
Alignment: Principled
Power Category: Crusader of Light
Experience Level: 8th level
Hit Points: 51 S.D.C.: 20
Mystical Bestowed: Hit Points: 91 S.D.C.: 85
P.P.E.: 10 or 47 bestowed
Appearance: Cecilia is a 15 year old scrawny girl with acne and nerdy looking
glasses. She is living on the street with her parents so she doesn’t have any nice clothes.
She gets few chances to make herself look presentable. She has stringy peroxide blond
hair. She has helerochroma iridis (one blue eye and one brown eyes). As Mastera her
slanted eyes are the color of fresh green apples. Her medium-length, straight, silky hair is
golden in color and is worn in a complex style. She has an amazonian build. Her outfit is

Cecilia Meadows father once worked as a construction worker in Century Station and her
mother was a house wife going to school to work in real estate. Then her father lost his
job along with thousands of others. Soon they lost their home and had no choice but to
live on the street. The family refused to give up and did whatever they had to in order to
survive. Then things went from bad to worse as Cecilia father was among those killed
during the nuclear attack. This mentally crippled her mother. Weeks later Cecilia went to
the crater to find a strange man standing there. He had tears coming down his eyes. He
blamed himself for the accident. Cecilia told that her father died and she would do
anything to make it better. The man looked at her and asked her if she really meant it.
She did. The man turned out to be Lord Arcane. Using his powerful immortal magic, he
brought her to his secret space satellite home. There he bestowed powerful magic that
turned her into a Knight-Errant for the Order of the Three. Her duty was to help assist in
the protecting of Century Station and to do numerous errands for the Order of the Three.
In the last five years, Cecilia has proved invaluable to the group. Though a young girl, she
has battled numerous enemies, most far more capable then herself and defeated them all.
Her greatest test now comes with helping to protect Earth from the supernatural terrors
coming from numerous Demon Events. The Order of the Three believe the Deevils are
preparing some kind of Armageddon plot against the world but don’t know who exactly is
responsible for it. Cecilia has decided to use her “street lifestyle” to go search the
underbelly of Century Station to find out anything. So far she has learned some strange
ongoing involving the Church of Unity and has decided to investigate it.

Shaun Hawkins knew what he wanted to be at an early age, one of the guy who killed the
mutant bad guys. He wanted to be a S.C.R.E.T. agent. At age 18, he enlisted in the U.S.
Army and worked with way until he qualified to be a S.C.R.E.T. operative. Within a few
years, he became a sergeant (specializing in light weapons). After completing, a half a
dozen missions he wanted to take on a real challenge and take out some serious super
villains or bad guys. He got his opportunity so enough. Shaun was one of the 16 agents
that went after the Masters of Speed and where annihilated. Out of the 16 agent, four
survived, Shaun being one of them. He suffered three broken ribs, punctured lung, bruised
spleen, internal bleeding, and a fractured pelvis. Shawn lay in the hospital cursing his
body that failed him and the S.C.R.E.T for not having the capabilities to defeat the
enemy. Shaun wanted revenge and didn’t care how he got it. Few day later, Shaun’s nurse
spoke to him claiming she could help him if he did as instructed. She gave him a strange
medallion and told him to a prayer to recite but only at the stroke of midnight. Shaun
followed her direction. To his horror, he was suddenly dimensionally teleported to Hades
and laying at the feet of Modeus himself (Supreme Lord of Hades). The Demon Lord
offered him a way to gain his revenge but first he had to do something for him, kill band of
mystical super villains. Shaun agreed. Modeus used the Omega Book to turn him into a
mystical bestowed being filled with power. Invigorated Shauwn wanted to go after the
MoS first, but Modeus insisted he got after his enemies first. Shaun was sent back to
Heroes Unlimited Earth and hunted for his quarry. In time he discovered the supernatural
operatives where really Deevil minions working for Doctor Vilde, but he learned nothing. In
going after the deevils, Shaun suddenly found himself be chased by S.C.R.E.T. He didn’t
want to fight against his comrades but he had no choice. Modeus brought him back to
Hades and said he could carry on his mission, but he would be summoned back in the near
future. For the next month, Shaun tried to find the MoS but he spent most of his time
trying to evade G.I.G.M.A., S.C.R.E.T., and Legionaire super heroes. This only angered him
and soon he was going after his former associates with sadistic fury. Shaun soon found
himself a wanted super villain. Before long Modeus brought him back, this time he was put
in charge of a Deathbringer Infantry Brigade captained by a Grand Master Demon Locust
named Shazguau. Shaun found himself on various front line of the Minion War. Before long
he seem to forget all about what he wanted out of life and enjoyed battling it out with
the Deevils. Five years later, Modeus summoned Shaun and Shazguau and order them both
to Heroes Unlimited Earth to discover the Deevil’s plans. They were given a platoon of 50
demons of various sorts to work with (mostly lesser and sub-demons). Although he is
eager to complete his mission, coming back to Earth has made Shaun fully understand
what he has sacrificed. He longs to see his friends and family. His girlfriend Carole Beulah
Dickerson, a 5th level G.I.G.M.A. agent, never learned what really happen to him, and he
still loves her. He still wants revenge against the Master of Speed (he wants Hellbent to
really see what hell is like). He is trying to keep his demon platoon from attack or hurting
innocent victims, especially women and children. He doesn’t care if they kill S.C.R.ET.,
super heroes, or law enforcement personnel (this is war after all), but civilian casualties
must be avoid at all cost. So far he been able to keep Shazguau unaware of his
“compassionate” orders that he’s given the demon troops, and he done a couple of
“heroic” deeds involving the rescuing of innocent from incidental damage from
demon/deevil encounters. If the true where to come out, the Demon Loctus will be very
displeased and so will Modeus. Despite what the demon nature says, Shaun still sees
himself a human and he must fight to maintain that spark left of his humanity. For surely
one day he will be allowed to return to his normal life.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
SHAZGUAU
This Demon Locust is waiting for his opportunity at re-dempsension, having failed to lead
a successful raid in the Blasted Lands against one of the Deevil Princes, he lost his rank
as General and was demoted to Captain. Angry he took his frustration out of a human
slave in the city of Shek’Ra. He was about to eat the second slave who accompanied the
other one when he saw the markings of ownership by Cernun named Drake, not wanting
to risk further humiliation he left the slave alone. That slave is now Nick Harry. Shazguau
was able to redeem himself and was put in command of a Deathbringer Infantry Company
with a mystically bestowed human beside him as a sergeant/Task Master. Surprisingly he
commanded the troops with ease and showed no sign of fear, if they dare threatened him,
he killed them. It was futile to use magic against him and his powers/weapons were
deadly enough to anyone who tried. He proved himself and so did their troops. Modeus
was pleased and then ordered the troop to be combined with additional demons force to
make one large platoon that would be sent to Heroes Unlimited Earth to discover the
Deevil ultimate purpose there and what they have in plan for the humans. Shazguau is
eager to prove himself and wants to find the Deevil plans as soon as possible, for he
proves himself successful perhaps he can get away from the battle field and be named a
Duke. Like all of his kind, he seeks the approval of his master Modeus and will obey him at
any cost. He has no care at all for mortals only as long as they bring him glory. So far
Hellcurse has not disappointed him, but if the “demon pawn” does anything that threatens
his position, he will tear the human apart and feast on his entrails. He delights in
destroying Deevils and their worthless super-human powered pawns. Given the
opportunity, he will use his deadly spell to cause an Earthquake and destroy a human city,
perhaps Century Station.

Palladium Fantasy for a S.D.C. conversion. Note: Hellcurse is always having trouble
keeping the Gallu Bulls in line, they have been reduced to a sergeant status having been
killed in Palladium Fantasy after being summoned by a human summoner two hundred
years ago. They should outrank Hellcurse but they don't and that ticks them off.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
Okay I got my seven ideas for these NPCs. First and foremost these guys will not be
conversions of existing pulp comic icons. They will be archtypes of the pulp magazine era,
meaning the 1930s and 1940s, the heyday of the comic and radio shows. My attempt will be
to make these guys heroes but normals accept for one. I'm also going to do one or two
villains. So enjoy these guys when they come. I'm leaving my comfort zone of character
creation but I got a feeling this is going to be fun

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
A significant number of Pulp heroes gained their powers as a result of training, so any Special Training class would be reasonably sensible. There were also a few Pulp Psychics or Mystics.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
Okay here is the first of my pulp comic guys. This guy is a hero from all those Western
Type Books. Enjoy.
COLORADO SMITH
In 1846 John Bishop and his wife Clare, and his five year old son Lincoln set out West in
search of new opportunities. Before long they reach the city of Sonoma just in time for the
start of the Mexican-American War. They lived for a short while in the California Republic,
where John Bishop sold his skills as a gunsmith. Eventually the US troops showed up and put
an end to the uprising. John Bishop and his family continued to stay in Sonoma and found
prosperity when the 1848 Gold Rush. Young Lincoln loved to meet all the new people. But
John Bishop didn’t care for the American prospectors who started attacking the foreign
miners, particularly Latin Americans and Chinese. Nor did he enjoy the numbers of
newcomers driving Native Americans out of their traditional hunting, fishing and
food-gathering areas. He thought someone should stand up to all these folks. John Bishop
started to help Native Americans protect their homes and livelihood by attacking miners.
Word of what Bishop was doing reach the ears of law men and bounty hunters and they set
their guns on the Bishop family. John put his family on a steam ship and sent them away.
Two days later, John Bishop was gun down along with several Native Americans. Eventually
Clare Bishop remarried a man from Spain, who didn’t take kindly to young Lincoln. After the
family moved to Spain, young Lincoln was sent off to school, but Lincoln hated being in a
class room he wanted to be back in California doing what he saw as “injustice against the
good people” as his dad taught him. Eventually Lincoln ran away. He spent his life drifting
doing whatever he could to make it back to the United States and back to California. He did
all kinds of jobs and labor, but the one thing for sure he was good at was his dad’s trade, a
gun smith. Even during his teens, Lincoln take apart, clean, and reassemble any kind of
pistol or rifle blindfolded. Any man could hand his gun to Lincoln and he could do wonders
with it, trick shooting or remodeling it. He also never showed fear to anyone, no matter how
big or tough, they where, if anything young Lincoln could get them to back down.
In 1857, the sixteen year old Lincoln Bishop returned to the United States arriving in New
York. A year later he was making his way across the country in an attempt to get back to
California. He just happened to be in the Kansas Territory when Gold was discovered. Lincoln
put aside his ambition and joined up several miners, who struck it rich in the hard rocks of
the mountains. Lincoln used his fortune to not only enjoy a lavish lifestyle but used it to set
himself up as a dabbling gun dealer/inventor. He earned quite a reputation. In 1861, the
outgoing U.S. President James Buchanan signed an Act of Congress organizing the free
Territory of Colorado, three days later Lincoln Bishop changed his name to Colorado Smith.
When the Civil War broke out, Colorado Smith thought about joining with the Union, but
decided instead to make his way to California. A year later he arrived to learn the fate of his
father. Swearing on that day to avenge the “might makes right over the weak” philosophy
and make sure the “little guy” has a voice, by making sure his gun is even faster. So now
Colorado Smith travels about the West enforcing his own brand of justice and putting right

COLORADO SMITH
In 1846 John Bishop and his wife Clare, and his five year old son Lincoln set out West in
search of new opportunities. Before long they reach the city of Sonoma just in time for the
start of the Mexican-American War. They lived for a short while in the California Republic,
where John Bishop sold his skills as a gunsmith. Eventually the US troops showed up and put
an end to the uprising. John Bishop and his family continued to stay in Sonoma and found
prosperity when the 1848 Gold Rush. Young Lincoln loved to meet all the new people. But
John Bishop didn’t care for the American prospectors who started attacking the foreign
miners, particularly Latin Americans and Chinese. Nor did he enjoy the numbers of
newcomers driving Native Americans out of their traditional hunting, fishing and
food-gathering areas. He thought someone should stand up to all these folks. John Bishop
started to help Native Americans protect their homes and livelihood by attacking miners.
Word of what Bishop was doing reach the ears of law men and bounty hunters and they set
their guns on the Bishop family. John put his family on a steam ship and sent them away.
Two days later, John Bishop was gun down along with several Native Americans. Eventually
Clare Bishop remarried a man from Spain, who didn’t take kindly to young Lincoln. After the
family moved to Spain, young Lincoln was sent off to school, but Lincoln hated being in a
class room he wanted to be back in California doing what he saw as “injustice against the
good people” as his dad taught him. Eventually Lincoln ran away. He spent his life drifting
doing whatever he could to make it back to the United States and back to California. He did
all kinds of jobs and labor, but the one thing for sure he was good at was his dad’s trade, a
gun smith. Even during his teens, Lincoln take apart, clean, and reassemble any kind of
pistol or rifle blindfolded. Any man could hand his gun to Lincoln and he could do wonders
with it, trick shooting or remodeling it. He also never showed fear to anyone, no matter how
big or tough, they where, if anything young Lincoln could get them to back down.
In 1857, the sixteen year old Lincoln Bishop returned to the United States arriving in New
York. A year later he was making his way across the country in an attempt to get back to
California. He just happened to be in the Kansas Territory when Gold was discovered. Lincoln
put aside his ambition and joined up several miners, who struck it rich in the hard rocks of
the mountains. Lincoln used his fortune to not only enjoy a lavish lifestyle but used it to set
himself up as a dabbling gun dealer/inventor. He earned quite a reputation. In 1861, the
outgoing U.S. President James Buchanan signed an Act of Congress organizing the free
Territory of Colorado, three days later Lincoln Bishop changed his name to Colorado Smith.
When the Civil War broke out, Colorado Smith thought about joining with the Union, but
decided instead to make his way to California. A year later he arrived to learn the fate of his
father. Swearing on that day to avenge the “might makes right over the weak” philosophy
and make sure the “little guy” has a voice, by making sure his gun is even faster. So now
Colorado Smith travels about the West enforcing his own brand of justice and putting right
what he believes was made wrong. He delights in running the lives of big, strong, wealthy
people who think they can get away with doing anything because they are big, strong, and
wealthy. He looks to empower everyone, and give all equal opportunity. He loves a good
game of cards and coming out on top. He is a Ladies ‘man who has no trouble spending a
great deal of his time with Barmaids. He has a surprising number of friends unfortunately
most of them are not Law Men who see him as a troublesome vigilante. Colorado seemingly
can do it all and then some.

So, are you using the Gunfighter class from Rifts New West as your basis, or the Hardware: Weapons class from HU with your other skills filled in for the time period?

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
Gunfighter from New West with skills to fill in from the time period. Wouldn't make sense to
use Hardware guy since most of the skills are relevant in 1870. He's a cowboy first and
foremost. The kind you would read about in a pulp fiction magazine or western novel.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
CARON-THE MAN LION
Caron is the son of famous photographer Allen Grace and his wife, the debutant Laura
Hatheberg, the only daughter of Agustin Hatheberg, who built a shipping and railroad empire
that, during the 19th century, made him one of the wealthiest men in the world. For their
honeymoon, Allen and Laura took a trip to Africa. Allen wanted to photograph the Duwar
tribe, a mysterious group of African natives who supposedly had the power to control
animals. According to the rumors and legend, Duwar are never attacked or harmed by wild
animals, not even by snakes, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, or lions. Allen wanted to see if
this was true. He and his wife spent many months on their African safari. During this time
German settlers acquired land from the Duwar people in order to establish farms. Adolf
Zinzendorf, a German merchant, entered into a contract with the native elders. The
exchange later became the basis of German colonial rule. The territory became a German
colony under the name of Zinzuwar. Two years later, Laura became pregnant. Despite the
protest by her father, she refuse to return to the United States and wanted to be with her
husband, who’d not only been welcomed by the Duwar people, but he was made an
honorary member of the tribe. Nine months later, Timothy Grace was born.
The family continued to live in the wilderness of African with their Duwar neighbors. Soon
after, conflicts between the German colonists and the Duwar herdsmen began.
Controversies frequently arose because of disputes about access to land and water, but
also the legal discrimination against the native population by the white immigrants. Duwar’s
land as well as their cattle was progressively making its way into the hands of the German
colonists. Duwar resisted expropriation, but they were unorganized and the Germans
defeated them with ease. The Duwar people learnt that they were to be placed in
reservations, leaving more room for colonists to own land and prosper. Duwar began a great
rebellion that lasted for only a few months ending with their utter destruction. Allen was
branded a criminal and he and Laura fled into the wilderness to avoid being captured. Two
weeks into their hiding, Laura was bitten by a snake and soon became deathly ill. Allen built
a boat and tried to cross a treacherous river to get his family to safety, but he was
savagely attacked by a hippopotamus and killed. Laura died with Timothy in her arms. Soon
crocodiles came to feast on her and the young Timothy. Suddenly a pride of lions emerged
from the tall grass. A lioness that lost her cub to these same crocodiles fought them off
and snatched young Timothy away. This particular pride had been raised by the Duwar, and
instead of eating the young human chose instead to raise him as one of their own. For 11
years, Timothy lived as a lion, fought and hunted as a lion. He was by definition a lion.
Then one day the Germans came to built a railway through the wilderness. Adolf Zinzendorf
ordered every “man-eater” along the way destroyed. The lions were hunted down and killed
but Timothy managed to escape and fled into the wilderness. A few days later, he was
found by a small group of Duwar rebels still living as they had for centuries. They were
amazed at the “white man who lived like a lion” and so they trained him as they did all the
animals of the wild, and called him Caron-the man lion. Within a few years Caron behaved
more like a human than a lion. By the time he was 16 years old, he was a traditional hunter
and warrior, leading his people against the Germans who were surprising by the uprising.
They had initial success. This of course enraged Adolf Zinzendorf. He sent General Wegroth
and his troops to he devised a plan to annihilate the Duwar people.
A US photographer and former friend of Allen Grace, Perry Buckner, came down with the
German force. While he was in the wilderness he was attacked by a crocodile. Caron saved
him. Perry recognized the distinguishable features of his old friend. Perry lived with the
Duwar and became a trusted ally (spy). As much as he learned about Caron and the Duwar,
he taught Caron even managed to get him to start speaking English and understand his true
identity. When the German forces came with their onslaught, the Duwar rebels were
wipeout but Perry managed to hide Caron. He even managed to get them both onboard a
ship and return to the United States.
Several weeks later Caron was on the ground of the famous Hatheberg estate, the heir
apparent to the family fortune. Agustin Hatheberg wanted Timothy to stay and be the
grandson that he never had, but Timothy soon discovered his lion heart was in Africa. He
needed to be with his people and his true heritage. Unwillingly Agustin agreed. When Caron
returned to his horror he discovered the Duwar were no more. Adolf Zinzendorf and his
henchman General Wegroth committed mass genocide.
Today Caron continues to fight in behalf of his dead people and his dead pride. He
continues to have adventure after adventure in both the wilderness and the modern world.
He vows one day his people will be avenged and sink his teeth into the throat of the elderly
Adolf Zinzendorf and those who bring harm to the wild life and people of Africa.

Caron is still good friends with Perry (5th level Ordinary Human-Photographer) on many
adventures.
Caron is the son of famous photographer Allen Grace and his wife, the debutant Laura
Hatheberg, the only daughter of Agustin Hatheberg, who built a shipping and railroad empire
that, during the 19th century, made him one of the wealthiest men in the world. For their
honeymoon, Allen and Laura took a trip to Africa. Allen wanted to photograph the Duwar
tribe, a mysterious group of African natives who supposedly had the power to control
animals. According to the rumors and legend, Duwar are never attacked or harmed by wild
animals, not even by snakes, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, or lions. Allen wanted to see if
this was true. He and his wife spent many months on their African safari. During this time
German settlers acquired land from the Duwar people in order to establish farms. Adolf
Zinzendorf, a German merchant, entered into a contract with the native elders. The
exchange later became the basis of German colonial rule. The territory became a German
colony under the name of Zinzuwar. Two years later, Laura became pregnant. Despite the
protest by her father, she refuse to return to the United States and wanted to be with her
husband, who’d not only been welcomed by the Duwar people, but he was made an
honorary member of the tribe. Nine months later, Timothy Grace was born.
The family continued to live in the wilderness of African with their Duwar neighbors. Soon
after, conflicts between the German colonists and the Duwar herdsmen began.
Controversies frequently arose because of disputes about access to land and water, but
also the legal discrimination against the native population by the white immigrants. Duwar’s
land as well as their cattle was progressively making its way into the hands of the German
colonists. Duwar resisted expropriation, but they were unorganized and the Germans
defeated them with ease. The Duwar people learnt that they were to be placed in
reservations, leaving more room for colonists to own land and prosper. Duwar began a great
rebellion that lasted for only a few months ending with their utter destruction. Allen was
branded a criminal and he and Laura fled into the wilderness to avoid being captured. Two
weeks into their hiding, Laura was bitten by a snake and soon became deathly ill. Allen built
a boat and tried to cross a treacherous river to get his family to safety, but he was
savagely attacked by a hippopotamus and killed. Laura died with Timothy in her arms. Soon
crocodiles came to feast on her and the young Timothy. Suddenly a pride of lions emerged
from the tall grass. A lioness that lost her cub to these same crocodiles fought them off
and snatched young Timothy away. This particular pride had been raised by the Duwar, and
instead of eating the young human chose instead to raise him as one of their own. For 11
years, Timothy lived as a lion, fought and hunted as a lion. He was by definition a lion.
Then one day the Germans came to built a railway through the wilderness. Adolf Zinzendorf
ordered every “man-eater” along the way destroyed. The lions were hunted down and killed
but Timothy managed to escape and fled into the wilderness. A few days later, he was
found by a small group of Duwar rebels still living as they had for centuries. They were
amazed at the “white man who lived like a lion” and so they trained him as they did all the
animals of the wild, and called him Caron-the man lion. Within a few years Caron behaved
more like a human than a lion. By the time he was 16 years old, he was a traditional hunter
and warrior, leading his people against the Germans who were surprising by the uprising.
They had initial success. This of course enraged Adolf Zinzendorf. He sent General Wegroth
and his troops to he devised a plan to annihilate the Duwar people.
A US photographer and former friend of Allen Grace, Perry Buckner, came down with the
German force. While he was in the wilderness he was attacked by a crocodile. Caron saved
him. Perry recognized the distinguishable features of his old friend. Perry lived with the
Duwar and became a trusted ally (spy). As much as he learned about Caron and the Duwar,
he taught Caron even managed to get him to start speaking English and understand his true
identity. When the German forces came with their onslaught, the Duwar rebels were
wipeout but Perry managed to hide Caron. He even managed to get them both onboard a
ship and return to the United States.
Several weeks later Caron was on the ground of the famous Hatheberg estate, the heir
apparent to the family fortune. Agustin Hatheberg wanted Timothy to stay and be the
grandson that he never had, but Timothy soon discovered his lion heart was in Africa. He
needed to be with his people and his true heritage. Unwillingly Agustin agreed. When Caron
returned to his horror he discovered the Duwar were no more. Adolf Zinzendorf and his
henchman General Wegroth committed mass genocide.
Today Caron continues to fight in behalf of his dead people and his dead pride. He
continues to have adventure after adventure in both the wilderness and the modern world.
He vows one day his people will be avenged and sink his teeth into the throat of the elderly
Adolf Zinzendorf and those who bring harm to the wild life and people of Africa.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
RAGOR
Several millenniums ago the ancient civilization of Atlantis opened a super-dimensional
gateway that unleashed hordes of supernatural monsters onto the world. The eruption also
made magic energy virtually disappear from the face of the Earth. Yet the world was
overrun by monsters. All across the planet, humankind fought against these monsters, but
without the aid of magic. The Atlanteans soon came to make right what they had caused
by aiding the many survivors. During this time one domain of humans rose to power thanks
in part to the Atlanteans, it was known as the Empire of the Scroll. Here humans did not
have to fear monsters, vampires, or evil beings. Yet from all sides the monsters sought to
take the last bastion of hope for humans. To the north of the Empire of the Scroll was the
Jade Kingdom. There King Xeron and his beautiful wife Agalaina ruled for ten years fighting
against the monsters and vampires. Then one day it was announce that Queen Agalaina
was with child. The Atlantean seer Lohun made the startling prediction that the son of
Xeronu would sit on the throne of the Empire of the Scroll and rule for one hundred years.
The Empire of the Scroll was ruled by scholars and sages, men of learning. The last thing
they wanted was a boy from the kingdom of the northern barbarians to rule the greatest
empire of human kind. So the Empire of the Scroll ceased supporting the Jade Kingdom.
Without their additional protection, the monsters and vampires attacked the Jade Kingdom,
killing its people by the hundreds. King Xeron and his army tried their best to fight against
the dark forces but there will simply too many. He sent word to neighboring lands but they
did not want to lose support from the Empire so they ignored their pleas. Finally King Xeron
and his bride had no choice but to abandon their castle and seek refuse in the wilderness.
For five long years they lived among the peasants and farmers, doing whatever they could
to survive and in secret rebuild their forces. Then the Barbarian Warlord Shang and his
Army of Orcs attacked the village King Xeron and Agalaina lived in. Shang and his orcs killed
every human they found. Xeron and Agalaina put their five year old son on a raft and sent
him away. Ragor watched as orcs over powered his father and killed him. Shang took
Agalaina away to be his bride.
The raft landed in the land controlled by the Scar Chest Barbarians. A peasant woman
named Hati brought the frighten boy to shore. She took him to her father Vhagr. Hati’s
husband had been killed in battle, causing her to lose her unborn son. Vhagr decided the
boy was the grandson he’d been promised by the Sun God. Ragor grew up a peasant
laborer, doing odd job for everyone in the village. Once a month the Scar Chest Barbarians
rode into town and demanded tribute. If none was given, they take whatever they wanted.
At age ten, Hati and Vhagr had nothing to give, so the Scar Chest Barbarians took Ragor
back with them. Ragor suffered at their cruel and vicious hands. He was flogged, starved,
and a target of ridicule. After two years he became angry and bitter at his lot in life. Worst
of all he began to hear the lies told of how his father King Xeron had died. One night he
could stand no more, he went before the Scar Chest Chieftain Nsam and warned him not to
speak ill of his father ever again. The chieftain and his men laughed. The chieftain called
Xeron a coward and said his father was a worthless as horse droppings. In a rage, Ragor
picked up a dagger and stabbed Nsam in the throat killing him. At that moment, Ragor
became leader of the Scar Chest Barbarians for whoever killed the chieftain in battle,
became the new leader. The Scar Chest took an immediate liking to the boy who killed the
clans’ greatest warrior when all other had failed. Over the next six years, Ragor was trained
as chieftain. He learned to be a warrior, raider, hunter, scout, and clan chieftain. Within a
year he led his clan to a glorious victory over their enemies the Dead Stalkers. Before long
those tribes Ragor did not defeat in battle united with him. At age eighteen, he was
supreme chief of all the Northern Barbarian tribes. Fearing they were growing too powerful,
the vampire lord Xamont sent his were-beasts to kill the barbarians. Instead Ragor forces
killed the were-beast army and went after the vampire lord. In the end it was Ragor himself
who killed the vampire lord with his own throne. Ragor then decided he was going to reclaim
the Jade Kingdom for himself. He returned to the village of Hati and Vhagr. There he
received a glorious gift. Vhagr on his death bed gave him his father’s sword, taken from the
body of an orc that he himself had slain. With this new found weapon in hand, Ragor led his
barbarian forces against Warlord Shang and his Army of Orcs. During this time he met the
Atlantean archer Xerio. Together they battled the orc army and finally fought Shang on the
Black Mountains. To Ragor’s horror his beloved mother had been turned into the evil demon
witch Ngora. In the end, his mother’s love for him freed her of the demonic possession and
she killed Shang before he could kill her son. Dying she gave him her necklace, a gift from
his father on the day that he was born. Ragor buried his mother on the ground of his
forefathers. By law he had the right to reclaim the castle of the Jade Kingdom. Instead
Ragor decided to follow his destiny and take the throne of the Empire of the Scroll.
The rulers of the empire fearing that barbarian king might well indeed achieve his goal
turned to the very same monsters they once fought against in the hope that they will be
able to defeat him. Presently the succubus Danal is becoming Ragor’s love interest, though
he knows nothing of her true purpose. Ragor is also being challenged by another barbarian
warlord Hcohn, the son of Shang whose wants Ragor’s head on a pike. The princess
Astarte, daughter of Aesidac, one of the rulers of the Empire of the Scroll is also taken an
interest in him, and wants to help him achieve his destiny. All around Ragor are enemies and
those trying to use him for their own personal gain. He knows he can only trust his sword
and his hand, but in the end they will be all that he will need to meet his destiny.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
Okay I'm embarrassed as a long time fang of Heroes I've made about every type of NPCS there is but this is my first Super Sleuth.
THE KNIGHT DETECTIVE
Detective Knight is the son of Mark and Wendy Knight. Mark Knight was a wealthy tycoon
who made his money as the owner of a Hollywood movie studio. Wendy Knight was a singer
and theater actress. In 1922, while Mark was off to college to study law in the hope to be
a defense attorney one day, his mother and father were driving down the road when
someone shot at them. His mother was shot in the side. By the time Jo got to the hospital,
it was too late and she died. The police investigated every angel they could on the case
and couldn’t come up with any leads. Angered and frustrated Jo decided to investigate. In
the meantime, his father remarried a young beautiful actress to Jo much displeasure. It
didn’t take long for Jo to start running into thugs and people involved in organized crime. He
couldn’t figure out the connection. Then he discover his father was a bootlegger and
people in organized crime where sending a message to him. Jo confronted his father with his
information. His father confessed his guilt, then he was shot in the back his new wife. Jo
shot her in return. Turns out she was a spy for the organized crime. Jo inherited his family
fortune. Jo sold the movie studio and wisely invested the money in other things, making him
a multi-millionaire. But what to do with his life know, Jo decided to put the skills he used to
solve is mother’s murder to use. He became a private eye, but not just any private eye, but
one wearing a mask to conceal his true identity. He became the Knight Detective, sort of a
knight-errant who worked as a detective. Since he first started he’s been an major thorn to
organize crime. He blames alcohol for killing his mother so he is a strong advocate for
probation and is now happy that it’s likely to be appealed. Nevertheless the only thing he
will drink is ginger ale and milk. Jo Knight is a lady’s man, a curse he claims he got from his
dad, but if you’re going to suffer from a vice, this is the one to have. Before the Stock
Market crashed in 1929, Jo’s friend and accountant Travis Bernard was smart enough to see
the writing on the wall and did enough thing to make sure Jo stayed a million despite the
economic hardship. Now in the midst of the Great Depression, the Knight Detective seems
to be working overtime helping the little guy. He will try to make sure the little guy is never
taken advantage of by others with money and power. His one regret, if every time a dame
walked into his life, it didn’t involve a punch to the face within 72 hours by some other
guy.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
PROFESSOR GRIMM
His name is Lance Grimm. He is a super genesis who uses his intellectual powers to thwart
the forces of evil and villainy. No matter what evil goes, Proff. Grimm will be there to stop
it. This has been his life, or better yet his destiny. At the age of two, Grimm parents found
him reading books particular the tales of adventure (Robinson Crusoe, Count of Monte
Cristo, etc). By age four, he was pretending to be these men and saving the world. By the
age of eight, Grimm was doing the school work of someone three times his age. One day a
larger boy was picking on him. Lance struck the boy with a mighty punch to the solar
plexus. The boy dropped over dead. Although everyone considered the event an accident,
it haunted poor Grimm. To this very day, he has nightmares about the event. As a result,
Grimm refuses to do anything that will directly kill another human being. By age 12, Grimm
was attending Harvard University where he met with Professor Felton Tim Little. At first
Felton mentors the young Grimm, but before long the relationship reversed. Young Grimm
was teaching college classes and changing the way people saw many things. WW 1
changed everything. He read about the events and dreamed about doing something to
prevent such evils from ever happening again. By age 14, Grimm was board with school and
wanted to see the world. His parents let him travel the world. When he came back home at
age 16, Grimm was no longer an intelligent boy, but a genesis man. He was full of ideas and
inventions. He convinced his parents to buy a boat and he used it to sail to various places
in the world. At each spot, Lance and Doc Little found buried treasure. Lance took the
riches and invested the money. By age 18, Grimm was one of the richest men in the world.
He know used the money to journey around the world and wherever he went, he
confronted evil and villainy and put a stop to it. This has been his life for nearly twenty
years. Lance has traveled the world meeting all kinds of people. While in Japan, he spent
two weeks with Morihei Ueshiba, the founder and creator of Akido. He became a master of
the martial arts because of it. Disguised as a Russian soldier, he shook the hand of Joseph
Stalin, later that evening he snuck into his home and stole numerous plans and information
from a wall safe, while in Germany, he sabotaged a top secret mission to develop a jet
aircraft. He has made himself an arch enemy of the Nazis. He will stop them whenever he
can and keep them from becoming masters of the world. He is the self appointed protector
of humankind. He is admired by many, envied by more, and hated by a select few.
Real Name: Lance Grimm
Occupation: Rights all that is wrongs and punish all evildoers. He is an adventurer,
inventor, and explorer.
Alignment: Principled
Power Category: Natural Genius
Experience Level: 10th
Hit Points: 68 S.D.C.: 46
P.P.E.: 56
Appearance: Lance Grim is a superior athlete with a super intellect (far superior then
those in 1938). Everything he wears seems to be 10 years ahead of current fashion trends
(late 1940s). He has short light brown hair and light blue eyes.
Attributes: I.Q. 21, M.E. 24, M.A. 19, P.S. 22, P.P. 18, P.E. 17, Spd. 25, P.B. 15.
Age: 33, Sex: Male, Height: 5 foot and 10 inches (1.55 m), Weight: 170 lbs (76.5 kg)
Vulnerability: Grimm knows he is faster, smarter, and better than everyone else. He
respect and tries to associate with others with a strong college education or share his
outlook on life. He will talk with “ordinary people” but his arrogance always put them on a
lesser status them himself or other educated people. Because he is so brilliant and dashing,
he takes foolish challenges, takes dangerous risks, and often underestimates those of
lesser mental status them himself. Grim has a firm code against directly taking of human
life, even the most evil being he will attempt to save their life instead of take it. Even if he
has rigged the villain’s island with explosives, he will attempt to warn his henchmen and
allow them time to get off the island. He will save whom he can if able too.

enough to figure out which stocks, companies, and banks would go under when the Great

accordingly so he lost nothing. He remained one of the richest men in the world without
losing much money (just under 15,000 dollars).

Grimm owns a fleet of cars, trucks, aircraft, and boats which he stores at a secret hangar
at his mansion just outside of Ultropolis.
Grimm’s mansion occupies a three mile stretch on 2000 acres of wooded land. The grounds
around the main house, leading down to the lake are well-tended, but the remaining land,
particular near the property line, is left wooded. The property rises to the east in low
foothills. A landing strip is hidden in these hills. The mansion, boat house, and garage are
clearly visible. The hangers and turntables for the aircraft are located underground, as are
a set of tunnels for transporting personnel and large objects between the strip and the
mansion. All aircraft enter and exit from the secret entrance that opens over the cliff
beside the ocean.
Grimm’s is often accompanied by the following people who share in his adventures.
Lieutenant Kermit Reid (5th level Navy Pilot, Ordinary Person). He is the one who flies the
Sky Flier and the White Falcon. His vocabulary is typical of comic book side-kicks. A genius
when it comes to working with a radio.
Loyd Rabbit (a 5th level British Medical Doctor, Ordinary Person). He is Grimm personal
physician, although he never listens to the man. Loyd is also a master fencer.
Numbers Page (a 5th level Mathematician, Ordinary Person). He is fascinated by the use of
mathematics and how they can be applied for anything.
Dwayne Garner (a 5th level Professional Boxer, Ordinary Person). He is a big African
American boxer. He hopes one day to take on Joe Louis for the title but Grimm keeps him
busy. He loves a good fight and cracking jaws.
Doctor Felton Tim Little (a 6th level Harvard Professor, Ordinary Person). He is 50 years old
and smokes a pipe. He is an expert on history and world affairs. He always seems to know
what’s going on as if he reads every newspaper in the world.
Amber Potts (a 6th level Secretary). Grimm’s personal assistant and secretary. She is in
love with Grimm but he never acknowledges. He is always saving her (gets captured almost
every adventure). He will always put his life on the line for her, despite the lack of
affection. He knows how to be a master seducer (does it all the time) but never with her.
His name is Lance Grimm. He is a super genesis who uses his intellectual powers to thwart
the forces of evil and villainy. No matter what evil goes, Proff. Grimm will be there to stop
it. This has been his life, or better yet his destiny. At the age of two, Grimm parents found
him reading books particular the tales of adventure (Robinson Crusoe, Count of Monte
Cristo, etc). By age four, he was pretending to be these men and saving the world. By the
age of eight, Grimm was doing the school work of someone three times his age. One day a
larger boy was picking on him. Lance struck the boy with a mighty punch to the solar
plexus. The boy dropped over dead. Although everyone considered the event an accident,
it haunted poor Grimm. To this very day, he has nightmares about the event. As a result,
Grimm refuses to do anything that will directly kill another human being. By age 12, Grimm
was attending Harvard University where he met with Professor Felton Tim Little. At first
Felton mentors the young Grimm, but before long the relationship reversed. Young Grimm
was teaching college classes and changing the way people saw many things. WW 1
changed everything. He read about the events and dreamed about doing something to
prevent such evils from ever happening again. By age 14, Grimm was board with school and
wanted to see the world. His parents let him travel the world. When he came back home at
age 16, Grimm was no longer an intelligent boy, but a genesis man. He was full of ideas and
inventions. He convinced his parents to buy a boat and he used it to sail to various places
in the world. At each spot, Lance and Doc Little found buried treasure. Lance took the
riches and invested the money. By age 18, Grimm was one of the richest men in the world.
He know used the money to journey around the world and wherever he went, he
confronted evil and villainy and put a stop to it. This has been his life for nearly twenty
years. Lance has traveled the world meeting all kinds of people. While in Japan, he spent
two weeks with Morihei Ueshiba, the founder and creator of Akido. He became a master of
the martial arts because of it. Disguised as a Russian soldier, he shook the hand of Joseph
Stalin, later that evening he snuck into his home and stole numerous plans and information
from a wall safe, while in Germany, he sabotaged a top secret mission to develop a jet
aircraft. He has made himself an arch enemy of the Nazis. He will stop them whenever he
can and keep them from becoming masters of the world. He is the self appointed protector
of humankind. He is admired by many, envied by more, and hated by a select few.

he takes foolish challenges, takes dangerous risks, and often underestimates those of
lesser mental status them himself. Grim has a firm code against directly taking of human
life, even the most evil being he will attempt to save their life instead of take it. Even if he

NIGHT THAT NO MOURN SHALL BREAK
Quote the Boogeyman
(The original)
NIGHT THAT NO MOURN SHALL BREAK
Quote the Boogeyman
(The original)
Carson Jefferson was born in Century Station in 1911. At the time Century Station was one of
the busiest ports in country. The port exported most of the nation's commodities. This money to
the city but it also brought crime and corruption. During the 1920s, Century Station was a
haven for gangsters, including the notorious Warden Jackal, battled each other and law
enforcement on the city streets during the Prohibition era. A 13 year old Carson was walking
home from school one day when he witness several hired thugs of Warden Jackal gun down Nico
DeTeluzzi and his friends. Ercole DeTeluzzi wanted revenge but he also wanted to know who was
responsible. The corrupt police were quick to give up Carson Jefferson. Carson was coming home
from school when DeTeluzzi thugs snatched him. They demanded he tell them what they wanted
to know, instead Carson psychic powers manifested themselves and he convinced them to take
him home.
A few days later Carson, his brother Jack, and his mother were home waiting for his father to
arrive. Carson sixth sense went off and he ducked down just in time. The bullets peppered the
walls. His mom rushed outside to find her husband dead on the lawn. The family moved away in
fear. Five years later, Carson joined the U.S. Army. During his time there, he secret put his
“powers” to use. He became a master code breaker and interrogator. He also appeared to be a
master sharpshooter when in reality his mental powers aiding him. After six years, he left the
military after his older brother Jack got himself killed trying to get even with the DeTeluzzi family.
Carson came home to comfort his mother. He went to college to study to become a journalist.
Then one day while listening to the radio, he heard how the police had Ercole DeTeluzzi on
racketing charges but they couldn’t prove a thing. Carson decided to scare a confession out of
him. He dressed all in black and wore a goblin looking mask. Using his psychic power to make
himself “invisible” to the eyes of men, he suddenly appeared in the bedroom of Ercole Deteluzzi.
He indeed “scared” the mob boss to death. When the bodyguard came in, they found him dead.
Written on the mirror in soap where the famous words of the Boogeyman.
From that night one the Boogeyman became the night avenger of Century Station. Soon he was
confronting numerous villains and crime syndicates, eventually coming face to face with Warden
Jackal himself. Despite his best attempts to put the man behind bars, the Jackal always found a
means to get out of jail on some technicality. Recently Carson has started a romantic
relationship with fellow reporter Madison Woods (6th level Ordinary Human). He is afraid to tell
her about who he really is, the infamous Body Snatcher who snatched criminal out of their bed.
Or the low life thug found in the crime pits of Century Station known as Shady Jack. He is not
sure how long he will keep up the identity of the Boogeyman but he feel strongly about making
Century Station a better place for tomorrow.
Note: When WW2 starts, Carson who has married Madison in 1941 will reenlist in the
military. He will be killed oversees. His 16 year old son Danny will find the Boogeyman costume in
1957. He will become the second Boogeyman. He will master his father's guns as a Trickshot
gunslinger. He will be replace in 1969 by a nameless mutant. When he dies 20 year later, the man
with the Symbiote take his place. He will be killed and replaced by Colin Beard (who've you can

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
Wright you do fantastic work. I know I as well as many others appreciate your submissions. I've never used one of yours but maybe someday I will run one in as an NPC.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
Thanks for the appreciation. I do this for Palladium fans who are always in search of new NPCs for their games. Unlike Palladium Fantasy or Rifts where we have a nearly three dozens books full
of monsters and bad guys, Heroes is limited to Villains, Century, Gramercy, Mutant, Aliens Unlimited
(a few), G.M. Guide, and Armageddon (if you want to fight demons/deevil and some really nasty
villains). I mean how many times do you want to keep fighting the same bad guys like in a 1970s
Marvel and DC comic? So I provide free of charge a whole host of NPCs to use as well as updates
from 1st edition. As said earlier, I hope to get to work on some aliens races soon. The stuff on
doing on the fantasy board is taking longer then I thought.

Re: On the topic of Revised to 2nd ed conversions.....
Just start back on my old job during the day. So my time to work on aliens have been nixed 
, but I'm still laying the
ground work on converting these guys for the board so it will take a bit longer then normal. Nevertheless three alien
species are coming with full stats, space ships, and equipment. Hope the HU community enjoys them.

The first race of aliens is done. Soon as I get back from Indy I will post the Tanteers . The Ogaireans and the Zirlons will
follow soon after.
