Tattooverse 2.5: WOF builds

[Arkrite]

Funny, I was thinking more Tigra than a Beverly ;~)

[Shock]

Excuse me, but, I think there's a spelling error here. Shouldn't it be: Order of Cats?

Nope. It's not my fault K-9 can't spell correctly.

At this rate though I am tempted to create the Feline Force just to give him a group of pesky cats to have to deal with.....

Y'know...it ain't easy treading that fine line between grim and gritty hero and team dunderhead.

K-9's got a lot of competition for team dunderhead. At best, he's a distant second to you-know-who...

[CelticREI]

What I'm wondering is: Should we be scared he is updating/adding up builds for The Order of Chaos? Or is this like a 'months after the fact' addition? ;)

[Shock]

Normally, I'd say we have bigger things to worry about. But that dude's sword can do anything. The Sword of Omens would be jealous.

HHmmmmmm, that's a good question there CelticREI.

I'll get back to you on that one in a little bit.

Real Name: Nicolas “Nico” Caspian
Height: 5’ 6”
Weight: 180 lbs
Hair: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Group Affiliation: The Order of Chaos


Background: Nico Caspian is the second son of Leona Caspian, and was something of a quiet child. Given that he had an older brother, Leo, as well as his four cousins, Therri, Luigi, Vito and Gino living with them during their younger years. Nico wasn’t shy but with five other boys living under one roof one or two of them aren’t going to be fighting for attention and making noise like the others. Nico got along best with Gino, since the two of them were close in age and disposition which ended up making the duo the ones picked on by the other boys and they often stuck together as a way to be safe.

Nico however was still swayed by the convincing Therri and was party to much of the troubles the boys would get into during their younger years and while he did decent in school, managing a 2.5 GPA and graduating he still had a bit of a reputation as a trouble maker thanks to Therri, Luigi and Leo’s actions and antics.

When Nico graduated high school, he simply got a job as a security guard and ended up working at ASTRO Labs on the night shift. He worked there without trouble for a few years until Therri contacted him about helping him out with some ‘old friends’ from the neighborhood; basically the mob wanted something that was being worked on at the lab and Lugi and Therri used their relation to Nico to try and secure it. But it all went wrong, none of the crew sent to break in (aside from the crew leader) were aware that Nico was ‘in on the job’ and they dealt with him like they would any other security guard; knocking him out cold and tied up in a corner as they focused on their job at hand.

Somehow Nico woke up sooner than was expected; maybe it had something to do with the beatings he’d taken during his youth but regardless Nico freed himself and moved to deal with the thieves. Granted it was more to avenge himself than to protect anything they were actually after but he still went after the men who’d broken in but in the end it was a numbers game and they had the greater numbers. So once Nico had been dealt with, again, they decided to imprison him in a chemical drum in one of the nearby labs despite the warnings that it’s contents had been toxic.

The chemical was a unique creation of ASTRO Labs, something they were developing as a means of restraining people without injuring them. A kind of chemical adhesive that would turn into a pliable substance that could withstand a lot of punishment until the target could be dealt with properly. Nico ended up trapped in the drum for over ten hours, his body soaking in the remains of the chemical the entire time and nearly killing him before being taken to the Albright Institute for treatment. The doctors there used an experimental procedure to help Nico’s body purge the substance from his body based on the technology of how to remove the substance once it solidified.

Instead the combination of chemical exposure and low-end radiation caused a body wide transformation in the young security guard; he soon discovered that his body had turned into an elastic-like substance that made him stronger and able to reshape his body as he wanted. Nico hid his newly gained powers and took the cash pay-off ASTRO Labs offered him, using the time to better understand his powers and learn how to control them. It was while he was finishing this that his cousins, Therri and Luigi, gathered together the others boys of the family for a reunion of sorts; a night of poker and drinking to get reacquainted with one another. But the mixture of alcohol and losing money was a bad mixture and eventually a fight broke out where the two sets of brothers ended up revealing their powers to one another.

Therri, being the most level-headed of the group put forth the idea that they use their powers to get ahead in life; become criminals and use their abilities to take what they wanted. Despite reservations, Nico agreed to go along with the idea more to support the ‘family’ than anything else (though he has grown to like the life and is one of the few members of the Order who hasn’t been to jail yet).

Recently the Order of Chaos was hired by Giovanni “Johnny” Oliverti to recover an heirloom his father left to him; a man’s diamond ring, that had been stolen by the super-thieves the Horde. The Order was also supposed to ‘teach the Horde a lesson’ for stealing from one of the higher ups in the Freedom City Mob, a job the Order preformed with ease. They left the Horde with serious injuries that would require a long period of hospitalization to recover from but the newly formed FORCE Ops team managed to track down where the Order was hiding out confront them. After a drawn out fight FORCE Ops managed to defeat the Order and turned them over to AEGIS, though Blackfire has managed to work out the beginnings of a deal with the DA for information about certain contacts in the underworld so when and if the Order of Chaos will be seen next isn’t clear.

You know I'm often confused but is Blackheart the member of the Order of Cats that Dovetail fought or is there another one with a sword? I'm pretty sure she fought one with a sword.

Off the top of my head here & without looking up that part of the fight;

Dovetail first tangled with Nightwrath, and after putting him down then moved on to other members of OoC. Which I believe was Blackfire who had already been dealth with somewhat by Magnus and was trying to recover his sword, which Dovetail put kibosh on and put him out of the fight too.

[ClassDunce]

Oh thank you. This was a while ago and I remembered him a little but I really need to go back and reread alot of that again.

Oh thank you. This was a while ago and I remembered him a little but I really need to go back and reread alot of that again.

Not a problem. It was over a year ago actually, both the Horde & the OoC were part of the first adventure for FORCE Ops. I just re-read it a week or so ago checking on a couple facts for the backgrounds of the Horde & OoC so I could have their posts up-to-date.

It is an interesting read to say the least.

Real Name: Leonardo “Leo” Caspian
Height: 5’ 8”
Weight: 145 lbs
Hair: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Group Affiliation: The Order of Chaos


Background: Leo Caspian, the eldest son of Leona Caspian, was always something of a hot head. He was constantly in trouble in school for fighting, sometimes taking on those who he thought had spoken ill of him or his family, while the others were at the direction of his cousin Therri (who had his own motifs). And while he had passing grades, they were at the lower end of the grade point and he barely graduated high school. He ended up getting work as a laborer, getting by the strength of his back and arms; working on the docks mostly but eventually he was recognized as someone who would help out those ‘from the neighborhood’ and would misplace certain items of interest for those that were willing to pay him to do so.

This is how he gained his powers; one night while he was ‘misplacing’ several containers of a new kind of jet fuel when the controls for the lift Leo was using malfunctioned and he was buried under the containers, which were leaking their cargo all over him. Leo breathed in the fumes given off as well as ingested a small amount of the fuel over a short period of time and was changed because of it, something he ingested or inhaled interacted with something in his DNA caused a mutation which allowed him to generate and control flames (scientists at Steele Omnitech theorize that the event triggered the powers manifesting, since there is nothing in the fuel formula that would cause such a change in human DNA).

Leo learned to control his powers under the guidance of the Omnitech scientists and eventually returned to his ‘normal life’, but in reality he planned to use his powers to get money and respect and soon began his career as Meltdown. He was known for bank robbery and jewelry heists as well as doing goon for hire work from time to time and had a reputation as a reliable, if somewhat hot-headed, asset. Leo was good enough that he managed to keep himself out of jail the whole of his solo career and it wasn’t until a fateful night when his brother, Nico, and his four cousins got together for a small family reunion where they all ended up revealing their own super abilities to one another that the idea of banding together that Leo thought of doing more with his powers.

Therri’s suggestion that they form a group made sense to Leo, and the idea that if he ever went to jail that his family would break him out was just a bonus. He quickly agreed to join, but because of having the backup of the others Leo’s become a bit more reckless and ruthless with his powers; having turned more into the team’s pit bull in a fight. He currently holds the distinction of being the one who’s been to jail the most out of all of them. And the other members of the OoC have broken him out every single time, though some of his stays have been longer than he would have cared for.

Recently the Order of Chaos was hired by Giovanni “Johnny” Oliverti to recover an heirloom his father left to him; a man’s diamond ring, that had been stolen by the super-thieves the Horde.

Real Name: Lugi Cozzolino
Height: 5’ 9”
Weight: 185 lbs
Hair: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Group Affiliation: The Order of Chaos


Background: Luigi Cozzolino is the third son of Maria Cozzolino and was raised by her sister, Leona, when she died giving birth to her youngest son. Luigi was an angry child, growing up in the slums of New York just helped to focus his problems and by the time he was in middle school his teachers described him as having a chip on his shoulder that was the size of a cinder block.

Luigi never forgot an enemy that he made, and he seemed to make them quickly and easily. His teachers all said that if Luigi could have gotten better grades if he'd only spent more time on studying than plotting revenge on those that he felt had wronged him. After graduating from high school, Luigi went back to the streets he'd grown up on and become involved with the mob and working a series of part-time, menial jobs to hid his involvement with them. The under boss that Luigi worked for took note of Luigi's incredible imagination when it came to violence and allowed Luigi to advance up through the ranks quickly, eventually Luigi was selected to be trained in an obscure Italian martial art, roughly translated it's known as the Assassin's Way. It took Luigi many years to master the style but once he had he killed his teacher and slipped away in the night, deciding to take control over his life and not work for others unless he wanted to and was being well paid for it. Luigi used several of his own contacts in the underworld to get by but he also reached out to his brother, Therri, who was involved in politics and business, to avail himself to the world of corporate espionage.

The biggest change in Luigi's life came when Therri arranged for a brief 'family reunion' between the Cozzolino's and the Caspians, but late in the night an argument broke out and each of the men there revealed that he had some kind of superhuman ability. This got Therri thinking that they should work together so they could pursue their dreams of riches and personal power, being family and thus closer than any other group operating at that point in time and wouldn't have to worry about conflicts within the group. Luigi was the first to agree to the idea, as he liked the notion of working with his family who wouldn't betray him over trivial matters such as money or who got how much of a cut of it.

Recently the Order of Chaos was hired by Giovanni “Johnny” Oliverti to recover an heirloom his father left to him; a man’s diamond ring, that had been stolen by the super-thieves the Horde.

Real Name: Giauseppi "Gino" Cozzolino
Height: 6' 6"
Weight: 263 lbs
Hair: Black
Eye Color: Brown


Background: Gino Cozzolino was the last son born to Maria Cozzolino, who was weakened by the stress of her recent divorce combined with the pregnancy and died due to complications that had came up during childbirth. It seems that Gino doesn't have the same father as his brothers, a fact Maria's husband discovered when she began to show signs of being with child despite the fact the two of them hadn't shared a bed in over six months. Enraged, he quickly divorced her and moved away.

Fortunately though, Maria's younger sister, Leona took in all four of her nephews and did her best to raise them along with her own two sons. However the older boys, except for his cousin Nico, would sometimes tease Gino about how he was a bastard or how he 'killed' his mother. Gino dealt with the taunts and cruelty as best he could but feels that he is responsible and is ashamed of himself because of that and it is those factors that are responsible for Gino having the low self-esteem that continues to plague him to this day. Ever since high school Gino has suffered from various insecurities and it is highly likely that he still feels insignificant, though he probably hides it behind a boisterous and cocky attitude in all his dealings with others. But despite those problems Gino got good grades in school and was able to attain a scholarship to cover college and he studied in the computer science field, as he'd always been interested in electronics from a young age (playing with electronic devices all the time he was 10 and able repair a transistor radio by the time he was 12). He'd taken many classes during high school that were focused on computers and between his natural talent, hard work and a little formal training in college, Gino became fluent in several programming languages.

It was while he was attending college that Gino began to painful migraine headaches, which were followed by a bizarre burst of speed. Over the following months the headaches become shorter and less painful as the bursts of speed became longer and more controlled until finally Gino could control his speed powers with no effort. His confidence boosted by his mastery over his powers, Gino decided to get he money and equipment he had always wanted and although things didn't always go as smoothly as Gino had planned, he managed to support himself while at college and built up a impressive and powerful computer system of his own at the same time.

When the family ended up revealing their powers to one another at a gathering and Therri suggested they band together as a team, Gino wholeheartedly agreed. It's possible that he thought it would be his chance to finally prove to his family that he's more than what they give him credit for being.

Real Name: Vito Cozzolino
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 120 lbs
Hair: Black
Eye Color: Brown


Background: Vito Cozzolino was the oldest of the Cozzolino boys, and even though they grew up in one of rougher parts of New York, life was still rougher for him; Vito was of a smaller stature than the other children in the neighborhood and was bullied by the larger boys. Though his brothers Therri and Luigi did help out once they were of age to be effective, but they couldn't be with Vito all of the time. School was most often the place where it was the worst for Vito, between the bullies and his grades he ended up being held back twice and graduated when Therri did. The biggest problem his teachers cited for Vito's grades was the fact he rarely turned in any homework and when he did it wasn't finished. What school officals were unaware of was the fact that Leona Caspian, the Cozzolino boy's aunt who was raising them by herself, needed help and since Vito was the eldest he was the natural choice. After dealing wtih the obligatiosn to his younger brothers and cousins Vito was left with little time to sleep, let alone have a chance to do his homework.

The only thing Vito liked about school really was the athletics programs; even though he wasn't a large boy, Vito was strong for his age and size and was of good health. He was the main motivator behind the brothers acrobatic act during high school and he even managed to win several gymnastic competitions during his time. After barely graduating Vito started working and saving his money for flight school, it took him almost three years to have enough and it was here that Vito shined. His grades were in the top of his class and he seemed to have a natural talent for operating a plane, but it was more the result of Vito having always wanted to fly and spent what little free time he did have between family responsibilities and the gymnatics program learning all he could about planes and flight.

Then it was while on his final evaluation flight that tragedy struck as a freak accident happened which injured Vito (it had been an overcast day and a bolt of lightning struck the plane; Vito was left blinded and paralyzed on the left side of his body initially), while the instructor who had been with him was barely able to land the damaged plane and Vito was rushed to the hospital. Doctor's were first worried about Vito's chances given the serious nature of his injuries but he somehow managed to spring back, within days he was off the critical list and a week later his doctors believed that Vito was recovered from his immdeiate injuries. That was all attributed to his overall good health, but when Vito began to regain his vision and the use of the left side of his body a month later the doctors were nothing short of amazed. After a full recovery and a full two months of thearpy Vito had recovered full use of his legs and was walking with ease. It took another two months for his left eye to completely heal. What Vito didn't share with his doctors was that he was also had noticed an ability to manipulate air pressure and light around him, as well as an increase in his physical strength that was above his norm.

Because of his massive medical bills, Vito returned to his minimum-wage job full time and between work shifts Vito experimented with his powers. Learning that besides becoming stronger he had also become physically tougher, but the biggest shock for Vito was when he started to lift up off the ground under his own mental direction. Now he didn't need a plane to fly! The thought of using his powers never really occured to Vito, he was more than happy to enjoy his ability to soar through the skies and be able to work without feeling tired or worried about being able to carry loads in the warehouse. But when the Cozzolino brothers got together with their cousins the Caspians and they discovered that each of them had somehow gained powers and Therri suggested they become a group to get the things they always wanted, Vito agreed with only minor reservations; while the majority of his family were focused on their own self interests, Vito wanted to give back to his Aunt Leona to help her pay her bills and be more comfortable in her later years (on average, Vito normally gives Leona about one quarter to almost half his take of any job the Order pulls).
