It has demonstrated no concern whatsoever about the human race, as individuals or as a whole, but is only concerned with artificial intelligences. The Datanimal creates a body out of some form of solidified energy, which can take the form of any animal in its database. It can also enter any computer or electronic system and alter data therin, although if the computer isn't large enough, it can't stay long. Any free AI can be assumed to have met the Datanimal at least once. | |
− | + | Delta Vee Superhero with Peaceforce Observer-effect says we can't determine his velocity and position at the same time. A young man with short, silvery hair and silver backswept antennae, DV can transform into a liquid-meta airspace craft at will. He's calm and laid-back, but his origins are, at this point, mysterious. DV can fly at speeds of up to 200 KPH in his humanoid form, or at advanced spacecraft speeds when he changes-- he routinely flies to the moon. He also can fire bolts of energy from his antennae, or from his prow as a ship. He is generally immune to heat, cold, oxygen deprivation, etc., but does eat, quite a lot. Peaceforce member | |
− | + | Dominus Nova Inmate at Summerfield Asylum for the Criminally Insane Catatonic when not incoherent; see "Occupation/Position" A 15-year old south american boy, generally with either wild or vacant and staring eyes. His father, Lord Nova, implanted the knowledge and instincts of fifteen great leaders-- businessmen, dictators, generals, crimelords, and the like-- as well as a number of superpowers in his mind. Unfortunately, Dominus has been unable to cope with the large number of clashing egos and opinions that this has put in his mind, and is insane, as a result. Dominus (in theory) has the amazing tactical and strategic knowledge of the minds that were added to his; he can't effectively use any of it, however. He also apparently possesses an astonishing array of superpowers, including moderate superstrength, a degree of invulnerability, flight, enhanced senses, regeneration, the ability to control electical currents, magnetic fields, and radio waves, and possibly others. However, he only ever seems to use them if directly threatened with physical harm. Lord Nova (Father), Gestalt (Sister) | |

− | + | Façade Insane criminal At large, probably hiding right behind you. Boo! A master of disguise, reports of Façades's true face are contradictory. He appears to be a former actor, circus clown, or make-up man, depending on which story you believe. Fascade is a dangerous sociopath with a lifelong obsession with masks-- a clear case of Napier's Syndrome Façade is a normal human, but ruthless, and a master of disguise. | |
− | + | Firebolt Perennial thug-for-hire In custody... yet again. A man in flame-decorated powered armor that he stole, Firebolt is one of the cheaper, more readily available thugs-for-hire in the industry. As a result, almost every superhero has fought him at least once, often in the beginning of their career. Firebolt's armor allows him to fly, enhances his strength, provides life support, protects him, and, of course, has a modified flamethrower allowing him to shoot bolts of fire. | |

None, really, but Lucas got to watch a tape of him training. |

− | + | Lisa Blair Teen Pop Idol On the rise, not hit scandals or cynicism yet. An attractive blonde teenager dressed in whatever's hot right now. She comes across as very perky and positive in interviews. They say her live shows are much, much more impressive than her videos or recordings, but they say that about everyone. She can actually sing, but the marketing machine backing her makes that almost unnecessary. That marketing machine. | |
− | + | Lord Nova (real name unknown) Would-be Emperor of the New World Possibly deceased; few people actually believe that for a minute. A tall, somewhat elderly south american man with silvering hair and a handsome smile, Lord Nova has recently started wearing a helmetless suit of armor. He favors long cloaks, Roman-era architecture, and talks a lot like Khan Noonian Singh as played by Ricardo Montalbon. He has been an active supervillain since at least 1938. He controls a secret empire in La Inferna Verde in Brazil, and makes regular attempts to conquer the remainder of the New World through advanced technology, armed minions, and subtle conspiracies. Over the years, he has made many, many enemies. Until about 1970, Lord Nova demonstrated no superpowers beyond an astonishing intellect, great charisma, formidible personal skills, and the fact that he apparently didn't age. After 1970, however, he began aging again, and has somehow acquired some form of plasma generation abilities; however, it is possible that these are in fact a product of the armor he has never been seen without since 1970. He has access to a great deal of advanced technology, armies of minions, and incredible resources. Gestalt (biological daughter) Dominus (son) | |

− | + | Reaper Former villain, current talk-show host and annoying celebrity. Nobody admits to watching his show, but his ratings are fairly high. Reaper looks like a skeleton in a suit. Actually, his living tissues are invisible and he has no hair, so only his bones are visible. He's extremely abrasive, and has a talk show that he uses to mock superheroes for their failings. He doesn't generally do anything like skewer anyone for a death they couldn't stop, though-- he sticks to mocking their clothes, fashion sense, and any embarrassing moments. Aside from weilding the power of the media, Reaper is virtually unkillable. Reaper has battled a number of heroes over the years, and mocked still more. | |

− | + | Thomas Mitchel (Mitch) none (Magician for hire, when asked by friends) Fortitude 3, Physical Prowess 3, Academics 3, Wits 4, Slight of hand 6 (8 when powers are also used), Extradimentional Pockets 8 Mitch is tall and a bit lanky, with short, wavy blonde hair and brown eyes. He's a magician by training and attitude (the kind that goes to kids birthday parties) and he's rarely seen without his black trenchcoat (except when performing, in which case he wears a tux and top hat). Mitch is suave and likes to flirt, and he has the reputation of always having exactly what you need, exactly when you need it (though he never carries any bags and his pockets always appear empty). Mitch can create extradimentional pockets in which he can store any number of things, from paperclips to pencils to duffle bags to a kitchen sink. He tends to not use his powers openly, rather confusing the observer so they're never exactly sure if what they saw was slight of hand, super powers, or real magic (of course, he'll claim the latter). The opening of an extradimentional pocket is accompanied by a slight haze, like heat rising off concrete, but this tends to be hidden by Mitch's slight of hand proficiencies. Laurie Mitchel is his younger sister. | |
