Masks, 2019
From RPGS surrounding the Labcats
Here's where we can put links to character sheets and sessions and the like.
Player Characters
NPCs
- Olympians:
- Guardian - considered one of the big three heroes of Earth.
- Stormbringer - Guardian's predecessor, currently retired and living at Elysian Fields Rest Home in Halcyon City.
- The Underlord - has a minion gang known as the Hellions
- Onyx Mask - an early local support of Collidoscope; know for being a "dark hero"
- Rage (deceased)
- Mx Yang - the PC's much loved teacher, who has coincidentally placed our four protagonists in their own work-study group for the school year.
- Archangel - currently interstellar, looking for data on the alien threat. Keeps the United Nations updated on what she finds. Considered one of the big three heroes of Earth.
- The Red Star - the Soviet superhero. The Soviet Union, despite significant international economic and military aid, still bears scars as the main front against the alien invasion of the '80s. Red Star, along with the Soviet government in exile, has since moved their base to western China to manage terraforming and governance of the SovietUnion from a less chaotic base. Considered one of the big three heroes of Earth.
- Doctor Joy - Dr. Jocylin Mathers, despite only being in her late 20s, is a well-known local super-psychologist with mind-reading and empathic abilities; she can only perceive the thoughts and feelings of others through focus, skill, and training. She cannot transmit. She makes a point of checking in with regular folks in the aftermath of super-villain attacks.
- Wastrel - a local villain, know for temporarily aging club-goers for what's assumed to be some sort of psychic vampire thing. Very little known about this person.
- Gravestone - a nationally-feared villain, imprisoned more than once, known for "transmuting a mass of intelligent life" (i.e. killing young people) for fairly obscure, but presumably disgusting, personal power. Rumored to have been around since at least the '40s, if by another name.
Organizations/Places
- The Halcyon Academy - considered the finest secondary school in Halycon City. Has a large endowment, and a history which extends reliably to at least the American Civil War. Several heroes (and admittedly, some villains) have attended this school. It's been successful enough to have started satellite campuses both in Halcyon and in other large metropolises.
- The Silver Shield - a overarching multi-group supergroup, which formed to fight the last major alien invasion in the '80s. Currently somewhat active. Works closely for the United Nations Security Council.
- The United Nations - the forefront of coordinating humanity against what is believed - with some compelling evidence - to be the still-present alien threat.
- The Republics of Canada - other their reputation for politeness and their outsize economic weight in technology industries, Canada is known as the most pro-alien country on Earth. Strangely, questioning the need for hostility towards aliens is an impression most of Canadians seem to share. (Native American colonialism was less successful. Atlantic Canada maintains a relationship with the British crown, the rest doesn't.
(The province of Manitoba is the Republic of Keewatin. The Republic of Nunavut organized after WWI. While the population is low, standard of living from Churchhill north and northeast to Resolute and Iqaluit is the highest in North America due to a cultural affinity and advancements in zero-impact high-technology.)
