Vigilant Alliance NPC/PC Storage

[Render of Veils]

These are my NPC/PC characters for "Vigilant Alliance." Unless otherwise indicated, every single one of these is a pre-existing OC of mine.



Alter Ego: Kraken (For the present)

Identity: Anthony Ferrari

Identity Status: Secret

Occupation: College Student

Age: 21

Birthplace: Providence, Rhode Island

Personality: Anthony is a good kid. He’s nothing special as a person, but as a friend he can be a close companion to have. He is a bit headstrong and overly moral, but will become silent and distant if questioned about his past.

Battle Strategy: Anthony is still largely a beginner at this point, and hasn't really come up with a true 'strategy' in the exact sense. His tactics mainly focus on his primary tentacles, using them to quickly envelop an opponent and incapcitate them through constriction. If this is unsuccessful, he will try to get creative, using the appendages to strike his opponent and keep him/her off-balance while protecting Anthony's more vulnerable main body.

Hero Career Backstory: Anthony Ferrari was born into the world as a seemingly ordinary kid in an Italian descended family. Though not raised in the best of circumstances he really didn't have a conscious problem with it, despite constant teasing and ridicule he recieved in school. The circumstances behind how his mutation developed are tied to a mysterious event in Anthony's past, one he frequently leaves out when explaining where he came from. Exactly what happened is unknown, but presumably there is a connection to his fear of fire.

Though attending college now, Anthony dreams of doing bigger things. Inspired by the resurgence in superhero activity, he has seriously considered taking up an alias part-time to help protect civilians and aid the police in stopping crime. At the moment he has been secretly practicing using his powers, and dubbed himself "Kraken." However, Anthony has no true costume, and beyond foiling several thefts and one bank robbery has not yet done anything significant.

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 198 lbs.
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown

Physical Appearance: Anthony’s mutation is still in the process of maturing, but so far hasn’t been much of a hindrance for him. He is young, dark skinned, with Semitic traits on his face. He has long black hair, which he sometimes has tied in a ponytail. Unfortunately, these are the few things left about him that are human. Parts of his body, including both arms and torso have mutated chitinous bioarmor, with other unarmored sections bearing a dark grey discoloration. A mane of black tendrils like hair flows down along his spine. To cover up his mutation, Anthony wears large stylish sweatshirts with long sleeves and baggy pants, which allows him to walk around in public without revealing the mutated parts of himself. He has not yet come up with a costume for himself, but has some ideas in mind.

Powers/Abilities: Anthony’s current alter-ego, Kraken, is appropriate in more ways than one. He can stretch both of his arms and divide them into four sets of elastic tentacles, five per arm. He can stretch these appendages as far as three hundred yards to grasp objects far away. They are superstrong and durable; the rubber consistency of the tentacles allows them to pull heavy weights without tearing and survive repeated attacks. While capable of lifting upwards of 60 tons with the tendrils, their forte is in crushing, able to constrict and crumple large tanks like aluminum cans.

He can also morph smaller, less durable tentacles from his main body. These are more destructible than the main arms and less strong overall, only able to lift five tons and stretch twenty-five feet. All of the tentacles possess a moderate regenerative ability that, while not combat effective, allows him to completely heal them over time.

Anthony’s smaller tentacles can also fire jets of ink. This black substance resembles tar and is roughly similar. It can stick upon contact to whatever it hits, quickly hardening into a thick shell, allowing the mutant to blind or immobilize an opponent.

Weaknesses/Vulnerabilities: Though more durable than any human, Anthony still lacks much in the way of a physical defense. He has to rely on his tentacles to shield and protect himself. In addition, Anthony has a mental fear of fire. Exactly why he is pyrophobic is a mystery, as he has no actual physical weakness to it.

Inventory/Weapons: None of special importance or worthy of note.

(WIP)

Alter Ego: Plastique

Identity: Christine Tampoya

Identity Status: Privately Known

Occupation: Nomadic Vigilante

Age: 23

Birthplace: Manhatten, New York

Personality: Something of a mixed bag. Christine portrays every color of personality imaginable, circumstances often dictating such. While not really hyper per se, she can exaggerate her emotions greatly, conveying a variety of moods varying from extremely happy and bubbly to sarcastic and coy to anti-social and quiet to bitterness and outbursts of anger. She doesn’t take well to jokes at her expense, and anyone doing so will quickly realize not to get on her bad side. On the reverse end, she is a sweet, kind girl that could almost be described as naïve or soft, but she is far from that, as Christine is a very tough girl and sometimes overly aggressive in many situations.

Battle Strategy:

Hero Career Backstory:

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 119 lbs.
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green/Grey

Physical Appearance: Christine is a pale-skinned girl appearing to be of mixed Caucasian and Asiatic roots. She has a small nose and strong cheekbones, which are countered by a moderately wide face, two narrow green/grey eyes with lots of eyeliner framing a small nose, bushy eyebrows, and large lips that round out her facial appearance. She has long, jet black layered hair in a Hime cut that extends to her hips, with a series of white streaks in it and short bangs hiding her forehead. She wears this hair in a variety of ways, including pigtails, braids, odango, ox horns, pageboy, anything she feels like doing at the moment. Christine’s body is tall and elegant, with a large bust that gives her something of a voluptuous look, alongside her long legs, shapely hips, and slightly narrow shoulders.

Her style of clothing is something of a mixture of Gothic Lolita and conventional punk attire, less black and more grey and brown in color, with multiple tattoos and piercings across her body. Her costume as a hero, while remaining in synch with the others, represents something of this style: Plastique wears a low-cut, strapless leather bodice that, instead of being zippered, is laced like a corset, extending down to her hips so as to leave the lower section of her midriff bare. Other upper body wear includes either a short, sleeveless leather vest or a longer, likewise sleeveless trench coat/jacket, both of which Christine leaves unbuttoned, a thick black choker tied like a ribbon, and fingerless opera gloves cutting off at the elbows. Below the hips she wears long, black, leather hotpants and a pair of knee-high elevator boots, though sometimes she’ll trade these for thigh-high stiletto boots, an ultra-short miniskirt, and fishnet stockings. A third option trades the bodice for a corsage featuring even more cleavage, a short-sleeved long trenchcoat, black leather pants, and a trio of belts around the waist and hips that hold the coat to her body.

Powers/Abilities: Christine’s body has the ability to metabolize a bizarre, semi-organic substance resembling mercury, but possessing a consistency more analogous to plastic or clay. The substance, which she calls ‘putty’ but is more similar to ‘grey goo,’ is generated from an unknown source, as she can secret an unlimited amount of it, and a certain amount flows through her body. It can be secreted from her natural openings, or she can forcibly cause her body to form orifices to allow it to flow out.

Christine can alter and control the properties and composition of the substance at will. She can alter its density all the way from a purely liquid state to an extremely tough state several times more dense than osmium. It is extremely difficult to penetrate when Plastique wants it to be, and depending upon its form the stuff can withstand powerful explosions, high-caliber ammunition and shrapnel, a variety of direct attacks, and it can insulate from extremes of heat and cold. And despite its apparent metallic appearance, the substance in no way has the same magnetic properties of most metals.

No matter its current physical state, she can compress, flatten, twist, turn, and morph it at will, allowing her to shape and control its malleability at leisure. Generally speaking, she can use it to morph and form a variety of external constructs, including multiple multi-jointed arms, large spikes and various other bladed protrusions, shields, tentacles, and more, as well as fully detachable constructs separate from her body. She can even encase herself in an armored shell that grants vast superhuman strength and invulnerability relative to its mass and density, or detach and form animate golems of various creatures or people. She can even make the substance’s surface slippery and slick so as to easily slip out of any grasp, though she can alter it to do the reverse and make it so sticky that even superhumanly strong mutants have difficulty freeing themselves, or even create a powerful suction effect on any opponent who gets stuck in it. Additionally, Plastique can form the substance and then fire it out of her body in a variety of projectile forms, including spears, bullets, arrows, harpoons, and cables, and in its liquid form she can fire it off in powerful jet streams capable of shredding cars. She can form thick membranes and weave fibers that she can use as traps or restraining devices, and can even encase foes in a thick cocoon which she can harden to further contain them.

Furthermore, the substance apparently has an infectious quality to it that allows it to quickly absorb surrounding material that it can then add to expand its own mass. This is apparently a more subconscious than conscious ability, meaning that if Christine is not in control for whatever reason the stuff will cannibalize virtually everything around her until she can reassert her own dominance.

Weaknesses/Vulnerabilities: Though it is a very powerful tool and weapon, Plastique is not completely invincible. She still has the normal limitations of a normal human being, and must use the vast offensive abilities of her ‘putty’ to cope with her lack of any real defense, as while her body can emit the substance, she cannot take on its physical properties herself. Additionally, she still needs to breath, which means she cannot completely encase herself for fear of suffocating. And while her substance cannot be affected by extreme cold or heat, electrical attacks can bypass it altogether, as the substance is a fairly good conductor. Last of all, her ability to control it often depends upon her mental state, which means that a good psychic could disable her ability to use it effectively.

Name: The Crew

Purpose: General-purpose criminals.

Reputation: Infamous

Headquarters: Any major metropolitan area.

History: The Crew is an infamous and enigmatic group of superpowered criminals led by The Foreman and consisting of members based on elemental motifs related to some form of substance associated with industrial labor. Their origins are unknown, but it can be guessed that aside from Foreman all were either mutants created by freak accidents or were the byproducts of experimental genetic engineering. They mutually banded together under The Foreman’s leadership out of necessity and shared traits, and have gone on to become one of the most notorious criminal gangs in America.

Members:

The Foreman- The leader and founder of The Crew. In addition to being an expert tactician and strategist, he is a Meta with psychic powers, including telepathy that allows him to control and guide the rest of The Crew, and telekinesis. He wields a sledgehammer and two crowbars utilizing his telekinetic powers.

Slag- A man who was transformed into a living humanoid mass of slag. Has polymorphic powers based around the semi-solid consistency of his liquid metal body, including elasticity and shapeshifting.

Ash- Sole female member of the team. Has the ability to become a cloud of thick, suffocating dust that can smother and blind opponents, as well as fly and make her all but impervious to physical injury.

Brick- Huge African-American with a rock-like body seemingly made of bricks. The heavy of the team, dumb, foul mouthed, and loud, but possessing immense superhuman strength and invulnerability.

Petro- The only other seemingly normal looking member besides Foreman. Has the ability to secrete a black oily substance from his body that instantly ignites when exposed to air, and can be used to explosive effect or burn an opponent like napalm.
