				<strong>Villain</strong><br><strong>Name:</strong> Jacob Kendrick<br><strong>Alias:</strong>&nbsp; The Procacious Parvenu<br><br>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/SteampunkGentleman.jpg)<br><br><strong>Heritage: </strong> Caucasian<br><strong>Age: </strong> 32<br><strong>Sexual Orientation: </strong> Doesn't ask and doesn't tell!<br><br><strong>Abilities</strong><br><br><em>Primary:</em> Unnatural luck.&nbsp; The odds have a rather peculiar tendency to sway in the Parvenu's favor.&nbsp; Bullets miss him by millimeters, perfectly maintained guns jam when fired at close range, punches swing far off target, heists go off without so much as a hitch, or police show up just a little too late because of the sudden falling of an oak into the middle of the road...when there was no tree planted there in the first place.<br><br>Of course, this luck seems to vanish whenever Mister Kendrick is in a particularly foul mood.&nbsp; Given his chipper demeanor, this is a monumentally rare occurrence.&nbsp; However, when it does backfire, it backfires in a particularly bad way.&nbsp; Unfortunately, this applies not only to him, but to everyone in the immediate vicinity.&nbsp; The last time he was in a sour frame of mind (and under great physical duress besides), every gas tank within five hundred yards exploded spontaneously, causing widespread panic as the ensuing fires consumed everything in their vicinity.&nbsp; <br><br><em>Secondary: </em> Excessively Polite.&nbsp; The Parvenu is civil beyond all proper reason.&nbsp; He will dust off a man's jacket before his partners shoot him in the face, anonymously pay for the ensuing dry cleaning and funeral bills, and attend said funeral to pay his respects.&nbsp; He is prim and proper even when fired upon, apologizing profusely for property damage (of which there tends to be a rather large amount) over the hail of bullets.&nbsp; He treats both men and women with the same courtesy and respect, just as he would have either gender killed without batting an eye.&nbsp; He is everything a gentleman should be, and quite a few things it shouldn't be besides.<br><br><em>Travel:</em> <br><br>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/DieselpunkCarwoman.jpg)<br><br>Disregarding the eye candy (who was hired purely for promotional purposes, or so I am told), the Parvenu drives a custom built vehicle of dubious quality.&nbsp; Its speeds and acceleration are top notch, and both its frame and windows are fully bulletproof.&nbsp; It houses a wide variety of weapons and traps, and can transform from its current state into that of an airboat or gyrocopter.&nbsp; The Parvenu's pride and joy.<br><br><br><strong>History:</strong><br><br>&lt;Work in Progress&gt;<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br><br>Mister Kendrick is an exceedingly buoyant individual of singular properness, as stated above.&nbsp; He seems quite firmly situated in the Golden Age, despite the fact that both villains and heroes alike have evolved quite a bit since those somewhat happier times.&nbsp; Still, he seems perfectly content where he is.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there is an indication of something far darker in the works.<br><br>The Parvenu thrives on publicity, recognition, and creative solutions to mundane problems.&nbsp; Each successive heist <em>must</em> be more spectacular than the last.&nbsp; Bigger, louder, and brighter.&nbsp; Flash with Substance.&nbsp; It is a compulsion, with each robbery planned for terribly long periods of time in advance.&nbsp; Some have theorized that, once Kendrick has pulled off the most magnificent bank robbery of all, one that is truly and completely incapable of topping, he will move on to yet another 'genre' of crimes to commit.&nbsp; In the event that he chooses murder...&nbsp; Well, some things are best left unsaid.&nbsp; <br><br>If not for his partners, Kendrick would very likely be broken and destitute.&nbsp; While he plans, they are fully capable of acting on their own, making them infinitely more useful than typical henchmen.&nbsp; Each is a trained soldier of unusual caliber, and as a unit even organized gangs find themselves overwhelmed by superior military-grade tactics and weaponry.&nbsp; At the end of the day, they are as much parts of the Parvenu's family as they are breadwinners.&nbsp; <br><br>&lt;More to Come&gt;<br><br><strong>Parters:</strong><br><br>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/Lee_Carter_artventure1.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/Lee_Carter_Concept_13.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/Lee_Carter_Concept_8.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/Lee_Carter_Concept_14.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/Soldier_by_Chronoperates.jpg)<br>

				<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Villainess</strong></span><br><strong>Name</strong>: Dawn Sabina<br><strong>Alias</strong>: Caustic<br>(http://www.geocities.com/xxxhoodybabyxxx/NewChar.jpg)<br><strong>Heritage</strong>: Her bronzed skin and soft supple features with a mix of that exotic spice and edginess is derived from a mixture of a quarter japanese, a quarter angle, and a half latin.<br><strong>Age</strong>: Physically she would seem to be about 24.<br><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Bisexual<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Abilities</span></strong><br><strong>Primary</strong>: <span class="bbc_u">Acid generation/manipulation</span> - The ability to produce a very caustic acid from her figure via her pores. This includes being able to increase and decrease the potency of aforemtioned ability and manipulate it to her whim. For nutrients she simply needs anything that has any sort of acidic substance in it anywhere from lemons, batteries, to large vats at chemical plants which would be much more helpful.<br><strong>Secondary</strong>: <span class="bbc_u">Acidic Form</span> - With increased concentration her whole body can become the acidic figure of a female not simply a coating, but comprised completely of acid. (However if she doesn't want to eat right through a city street, her figure would not be potent enough to do so, this collaborates with her primary power on the ability to increase and decrease potentcy). In this form she is malleable and viscous, able to slip under doors, if she didn't feel like "eating" right through them. Vital organs are transformed as well, thus she can be "splattered" and gather back together without too much physical damage.<br><strong>Tertiary</strong>: <span class="bbc_u">Jumping</span> - A form of teleportation which limits her to a certain mile radius depending on how much energy she has to expend. She has had to have seen this place before in a picture or in person, she can't just teleport as far as she wants or to a random location. Thus to get somehwhere far away, she would have to make numerous "jumps" in between. Jumping over large bodies of water is possible as long as she places herself far up enough so she has enough time to jump again before she hits the water.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">History</span></strong>:<br>Her past is rather anonymous, nothing much known about the woman at the moment, however the more she seems to show up, the more people are beginning to wonder where she came from. A loner, the woman only keeps the most.. "interesting" of friends who aren't really in the lime-light, associating with the more dangerous crowds, having grown up in this sort of surrounding, it's nothing new for her. ((more info will be supplied after some rp))<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span></strong>: <br>Dawn is mischievous woman with a coy grin and a sharp wit to match she sharpness of her tongue. Quick to take hold of a situation by the proverbial balls, she's also a very sensual woman, one of those that is very well aware of her femaninity and uses it to her advantage in many situations. Do not be fooled by her appearance, she is well versed in the arts of street fighting and deception, and took a couple classes of krav maga. A challange for anyone who crosses her path, she has no problem being nice of course.. if there's something in it for her.

Her powers reside in creating<br>Stonelike Prisons that can only hold one person in it or simply Fossilize them by Encasesing a single target within solid stone. The stone slowly crushes the victim. The Fossilized victim is held helpless and unable to defend himself. Many more like<br>Stone Cages, Quicksand, Salt Crystals, Earthquake, Volcanic gasses and Animate Stones where earth and stone coalesce to form an incredibly tough entity that can attack her foes. like pet made of stone.<br><strong>Secondary</strong>: <br><span class="bbc_u">Storm summoning</span><br>rain possesses the psionic ability to control all forms of weather over vast areas. She has been able to control both Earthly and extraterrestrial ecosystems on several occasions. She can control the temperature of the environment, control all forms of precipitation, humidity and moisture, generate lightning and other electromagnetic atmospheric phenomena, and has demonstrated excellent control over atmospheric pressure. She can incite all forms of meteorological tempests, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and is capable of summoning a hurricane,[ as well as mist. She can dissipate such weather to form clear skies as well.Her precise control over the atmosphere allows her to create special weather effects. She can create precipitation at higher or lower altitudes than normal, make whirlwinds travel pointing lengthwise in any direction, absorb ambient electromagnetism and output it as electric blasts from her body, flash freeze objects and people, coalesce atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog, and summon wind currents strong enough to support her weight to elevate herself to fly at high altitudes and speeds. Her control over air is so great that she can even manipulate the air in a person's lungs. She can also control the pressure inside the human inner ear, using this ability to cause intense pain. She can also bend light using moisture in the air and her manipulation of mist and fog to become partially transparent, and in later comics, almost completely invisible.<br>On rare occasions, rain demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms, solar wind, ocean currents, and the electromagnetic field. She has shown to be sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world, and her psionic powers over weather are affected by her emotions. One consequence of this connection to nature is that she often suppresses extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather.her mutant abilites arelimited by her willpower and the strength of her body. <br><strong>Tertiary</strong>: Travel: <br><span class="bbc_u">flight</span> <br>by creating winds strong enough to support her weight<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">History</span></strong>:<br>Controlling her emotions as a young child was hard and to much to handle and the consequences of her rage outburst made her seek shelter away from home. Her parents where scared of her and her friends called her a freak. Rain didn’t want anything ells in her life than become human, until she met a shelter for people same as her. Who protected each other from the wraith of the world? Only defending each other, wasting their abilities and powers granted by birth. Because of her unusual lifestyle, rain becomes very mature and capable of taking care of herself. Mostly of her emotions, but nobody said she didn’t once in a while scared hell out of a cheating boyfriends or a jealous ex.&nbsp; Her once called family was left in the past; still she stands behind the tree in front of her parent’s house, wishing they would one day accept her.<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span></strong>: </div>

				Since this isn't going to fit into my universe anyway, I may as well go ahead and use my OC Overlord. (Original story here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=35430.0).)<br><br><strong>Villain</strong><br><strong>Name:</strong> ???<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Overlord, The Robotocist, Dr. Destroyer, Baron von Crushenator.<br><strong>Heritage:</strong> ???<br><strong>Age:</strong> ???<br><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> ???<br><strong>Abilities:</strong><br><em>Primary:</em> Robotics/Engineering. Overlord has always been monumentally smart, possibly among the five greatest minds on this planet. He chose to use most of these smarts creating series upon series of robot henchmen, generally using them to rob banks and suchlike. Who he was or why he chose a life of crime is unknown, because despite being caught almost 10 times he has never been positively identified, and has always refused to break under questioning. In any case, Overlord can create, program and arm pretty much any kind of robot imaginable and a few that are actually un-imaginable, including magic-wielding robots and a few that contradict fairly firm laws of physics.<br><em>Secondary:</em> Super-strength, Enhanced Toughness. Via extensive self-surgery and modification, Overlord has raised his pain threshold and his brute physical strength to a level far beyond the means of any normal human being. Of course, this being Los Caballero, 'normal human beings' are in fairly short supply.<br><em>Travel:</em> Overlord has no consistent travel power, being observed to use methods as far reaching as personalised jetpack, short-term teleporter (unfortunately malfunctioning, leading to his 5th capture by authorities), golden hot-rod, rocket-sled, bionic horse, helicoptor, armoured van, and at least three times simply hailing a cab and getting in.<br><strong>History:</strong> Overlord has been around for a long time, building a reputation for outlandish villainy and a tendency to be beaten into the pavement only by the upper tiers of LC's heroic pantheon. Having attempting to conquer and/or destroy the world 6 times, Overlord supposedly retired around the beginnings of the Dark Ages, managing to avoid many of the problems his peers faced with suddenly edgier superheroes and more violent capes. A recent bank robbery put Overlord back on the map again, and he is now somewhere in hiding in LC.<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Read his story. (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=35430.0)<br><br>I think Overlord will be a very POV character, I'll probably be playing him exclusively from a 1st person perspective.<br><br>Overlord has a facial holographic projection system, so he can look like whoever you want him to be. Physique-wise, he's about forty, a once-muscled body beginning to slowly die, although cybernetics and nanotech are keeping the worst of it down yet. If he's not in a relatively normal situation, he's going to be wearing his massive, imposing helm, which I haven't yet found a decent picture that isn't Sauron of yet.
