Background: Darren is the leader of a group of thieves who specialize in taking down large scale robberies, whether it's armored cars, banks, or even military weapons. Darren is crafty and very good with his power set. He's very scary and not a man to be crossed. When not planning a heist, he can be found reading non-fiction library books, which he always returns on time.

Darren is involved with Sister Stiletto in a purely physical relationship.

Background: Katy grew up in a household of men--violent men. She's known violence directed toward others (and herself) since she was a toddler. It was her older brother Allan who aside from abusing her, taught her how to wield a blade. Much to his demise. And ultimately the demise of her family. Katy tried the military, thinking they'd have use for her skills, but she lacked the ability to put up with the discipline. A solo career as a killer would have to suffice!

Background: Dr. Daniel Friedman was an obscure paleontologist working in the field of dinosaur DNA replication. He was convinced that he could harvest or synthesize viable DNA. At the same time he was carrying on an affair with his lab assistant and his lab assistant's husband did not take kindly to this. The cuckolded husband planted a pipe bomb in Friedman's laboratory. The explosion infused Friedman with experimental dinosaur DNA and changed him into his current form. His lab assistant was not so "lucky." Her genotype was not predisposed to alteration and she was reduced to constituent chemicals as her body rejected the transmogrification. Of course, the first person, Sauron sought out was the husband. He, too, was "reduced"--by Sauron's fists. Friedman has grown used to his new form and hires out as muscle--strictly to fund his continuing experiments. He like a mate of his own, one with a suitable genotype to alteration....

Background: Little is known about Feryl as he is not prone to talk about himself. He is a vicious combatant and doesn't hesitate to cripple his opponents or victims. He reads as mystical to those with a magic sense, but is not vulnerable to silver or magic as a traditional werewolf might be. He is only ever seen in his wolf form, and it's not known whether he can change into human form.

Background: Sari Buyak was born in some ancient, mystical realm a very long time ago. She has sewn dissension, woe, anarchy, and the like for millennia. Her ability to manipulate people is formidable. She doesn't outright control them, but insidiously inhibits a person's ability to interact with her (and opens the victim up to exploitation by others due to their crippled interaction skills.) Don't underestimate her, however. She's strong, fast, and can unleash hell on earth. She's only on Blacklight's team for as long as it amuses her, and has everyone under her thumb as the secret power behind the throne.

[badpenny]

Blacklight's Brigade is a supervillian team led by Blacklight, who fancies himself a military leader. He doesn't have any military training, but he is a natural leader.

The power behind the throne is Blue Blaze. She's a manipulator par excellence and has everyone thoroughly under her influence.

Sister Stiletto is Blacklight's buck fuddy and a ruthless assassin. She takes assignments outside of the group's plans, much to the urging of Blue Blaze's hidden persuasion.

Muscle is provided by Sauron who is not a dumb brute. A transformed scientist, he doesn't seek to find a way to transform himself back, but to find a suitable mate.

Feryl is an animal, plain and simple. Though that's being cruel to the true nature of animals, as he is simply ferocity incarnate. He doesn't seem to want money. Perhaps being in Blacklight's Brigade is simply the outlet for his violence, giving him some sort of purpose other than random murder. While he is not immune to Blue Blaze, he can smell the stench of her evil and tries to avoid her.

Blacklight typically concentrates on high-stakes robbery. For example, they'll steal nuclear waste and sell it to a rogue nation or terrorist group for refinement. Bank/armored car robberies are not beyond the group, though this is more Sauron's preference for quick cash so he can fund his experiments. The group can also be hired out to interfere in the affairs of other nations.

For a team with diverse interests, they do work well together. Blue Blaze is not just a behind-the-scenes manipulator and will most certainly enter direct combat. She will blink around the field of combat with her undetectable teleportation and sneak attack do-gooders. Sauron will take out the big guns, while Sister Stiletto sneaks up and does away with vulnerable targets. Feryl prefers the direct approach. Blacklight is very powerful and and can unleash terrific damage. They coordinate on hard targets and force heroes to choose between fighting them (they all enjoy a good fight) and protecting people and property.

Complications
Fame: Charli is a public personality and is widely known on the body building/modeling circuit. She also is known for her crime fighting exploits.

Motivation: Thrills: Charli loves mixing it up with the bad guys and loves the challenge and the glory.

Temper: Due to the trauma of her kidnapping and experimentation ordeal, if Charli were to become Immobilized, she'd fully freak out and use Extraordinary Effort to break out and then stomp her attacker into a grease spot.

Weakness: Charli never really dealt with her trauma, so if she were ever to find herself in a laboratory again, she'd start to panic: she'll become Dazed and Vulnerable, and feel Compelled to flee (GM set Will check to resist)

Background: Charli Oliver had always been a tomboy and much more preferred to hang with the guys then do just about anything with the other girls. She got into weightlifting early on and as a pretty girl, it wasn't much of a leap to modeling.

At a party one night, Charli was abducted along with several other models by an insane scientist named Dr. Rictus who couldn't stand the sight of attractive women and vowed to vivisect them all! Needless to say, Charli was a handful and fought back. An accident in Rictus' lab doused her with chemicals and she went down for the count. Or at least Rictus thought so. The chemicals had a strange effect on Charli and forced a super-soldier-like process into her system. Her body's dynamics were painfully enhanced, but when she came out the other side, she had the ability and the wherewithal to defeat Rictus and rescue the girls. Of course, Charli became a media sensation and enjoyed her new found power and high profile.

Background: Elden Osmus has always been a man looking for power. His father enrolled him in strength-training, martial arts, and the like, but Elden had no physical facility for it. Elden was of above-average intelligence, though he didn't excel in matters of the mind either. He wasn't particularly handsome or charismatic. And by the time he made it into college, his desire for power had turned into lust. He had some moderate success gaining admission to a devil-worshiping cult and Elden killed his first man. He drew some followers after that and began to truly dabble in the mystic arts.

He needed money to further his goals: a place away from prying eyes to practice his growing skill in the dark arts, a place to seduce (or control women), and generally a place to do murder--for the dark arts were fueled by the murder of innocents. A ritual of power gone wrong turned Elden into a alligator after he double crossed a Bayou cantrip practitioner. Aside from losing his voice in his current form, Elden doesn't mind his new form. He'd had little satisfaction with even mind-controlled women, and now he has the power he'd always been searching for.

Background:

No one knows who the Shambler is, or where he came from, or even how he got the name. It's not even an accurate name, because he's deceptively fast. Just as soon as you think you've outpaced him, he's right there again. He always has blood on his lips, so people think he's a flesh-eating zombie, but no one's seen him eat anything. Quite often you might just walk right past him as he's standing in the shadows of an alley and never know it and never realize how lucky you just were. Other times, and for no reason, he'll attack anything that moves.

He never says anything (not even a growl). What's his story? Why is he so violent? If you put him down, he's just as likely to get back up again. And now he has your scent....

Background: Charllie Cross was a good cop, but he was too much of a goody two-shoes and too inflexible when it came to looking the other way. After ratting out some corrupt cops, he was left on his own when he responded to a fire at an abandoned house--a known drug squat. The bent cops were getting rid of a witness and hey, if Charlie went up with him, then that would just be a tragedy, now wouldn't it?

Charlie did his best to get the addicts out, but the house was fully involved and Charlie became trapped. He was surrounded on all sides by intense fire and he succumbed. Actually, he melted. And poured outside. And reformed. Where those superpowers came from, he didn't know, but they saved his life. However, Charlie was unable to save the addicts and he partly blamed himself. The Job seemed untenable now as his story fell on deaf ears. He had no way of explaining how he got out of the fire, let alone anyone believing that he was ever in it as he didn't have a scratch or burn on him.

No, his time with the police force had come to an end. But that was okay. He knew of another way to help people. As a private investigator. And Vector!

Background: Devilish is the name given to him by the press after intervening in a drawn-out hostage stand-off after a botched bank robbery. He declined to give his name or purpose beyond, "I'm just a man trying to do what's right."

The man known as Devilish doesn't remember his former human life. He does remember Hell and his years of servitude as one of the Arbiters, the demonic lawgivers. Then one day while in the middle of administering punishment, he hesitated with the realization that the emotions he'd been feeling for some time were ones of guilt and the desire to redeem himself for his past crimes.

Sneaking away was easier that he'd thought. He had a certain routine and in many ways Hell operated as one monsterous bureaucracy, so with good timing, he just slipped back into the world of Man and here he has remained.

Background: When a baby laughs for the first time, a fairy is born. Maia was born in Pixie Hollow, Never Land. She was chosen to be a martial fairy, one of the few so chosen as law givers among her people. She was trained in the ways and customs of her fairy kind and in the ways of combat. Pixie Hollow was not a violent place, and it was a matter of tradition that martial fairies continued to be selected, for warfare was only a distant memory to her people. Peace had prevailed for millennia.

Then one sunny day, as the garden fairies were working, murder made it's vicious and ugly reappearance. Humans who had pierced the veil between the world of Man and the Fairies appeared in Pixie Hollow and all who stood in their way were slain. They pillaged the Home Tree and all its surroundings of treasure and left dozens dead in their wake.

When the Queen Mother Fairy convened a Tribunal for the first time in a thousand years, Maia was selected as presiding Justicar. As she listened to the Queen Mother's intentions, she realized what was being asked of her. She would be sent into the world of Man to bring justice to her people. It would be a one way journey. She would be given several gifts to ensure the completion of her task: the heightened senses of animals, the silver tongue of the Charmed and combined with her martial prowess, she would leave Pixie Hollow forever and take up residence in Man's world where she would persue those responsible. And kill them.
