Detective David Double
Beat Patrolman Double was an good community cop and a
straight shooter who got too far ahead of his fellows during a police raid on
what turned out to be the lab of the mad scientist Lord Geode. Caught in a
burst of exotic chemicals David woke to found himself twice as good as any
human could ever be – while a world record runner could end up winded from
running 15 MPH for eight minutes to cover a mile, David could run at 30 MPH for
over eight minutes before slowing down. The strongest men in his weight class
could deadlift 800 lbs while he could get that over his head, or deadlift ¾ of
a ton. He found his senses sharpened in both what they could do (he can see at
20 feet what a normal man can see at 5) and how quickly he processed from them
(letting him make connections immediately that others might never see). With
these new powers he quickly made detective and became the force’s point man on
the city’s strangely deformed criminals and their gangs. Clad in a distinctive
bright-blue trench coat & hat and black shades (to protect his doubly light
sensitive eyes) he sometimes works alone and other times leads a crack police
team that is beloved by the city. (Heightened Strength to 26, Speed Bonus to
170” ground movement, modified to give +4 on Initiative and on all Agility
checks involving movement, Heightened Charisma to 27, Heightened Senses
(quadruple all detections, double all senses, immune to range/darkness/side
facing penalties, +3 to hit with pistols), Diminished Senses (Light
Vulnerability)
Jenny Capricorn
This master of Iron-Head Kung Fu is the city’s
representative for the Zodiac Gang that spans the globe. Aside from being a
brutally effective martial artist Jenny’s chi is so concentrated her forehead
that her hair grows into curves that resemble goat horns and with which she can
deliver devastating blows that will, say, destroy cars or shatter plate steel.
She can also parry almost anything with her forehead if she braces for it.
Jenny has a gang that works for her in international smuggling, where she is in
occasional conflict with Snake-head’s gang – when that conflict flares up it’s
bad for the city. (Natural Weaponry +3/+6, Ht. Agility +7, Power Blast ,
Physical Limitation – no range on Power Blast)
Lord Geode
In 1912 Alfred Wegener developed the theory
of continental drift, only to spend decades being mocked by the science
establishment. He would show them…HE WOULD SHOW THEM ALL! His unorthodox
experiments in how the world worked let him horribly mutated – his body is made
of stone and his head is a giant geode (with holes into the crystal for the
eyes and mouth), he ages on geologic time – but his magnetic charisma has drawn
a mass of followers to him who administer his century old criminal empire
during his inevitable absence after mysterious deaths. Lord Geode’s work has
opened an underworld that’s radically different than what other scientists and
explorers have found – almost as if he funds an alternate dimension beneath the
earth from which he can launch his assaults on other the timid forces of
conventional science. (Dimensional Travel A, Ht. Charisma +22, Ht. Intelligence
+10, Chemical Power – Stone.)
