Dirk Bell
Height: 5' 10"
Hair: Auburn with a tinge of red on his sideburns

Dirk is a rare breed. The only super about him is his ego. Decending from a long line of peace keepers and law men, the art of the weapon was embedded into him by his elders. There is nothing that he can't turn into a makeshift weapon on the spot or any person that can surpass his marksmanship. All his life Dirk has been told how his mastery of the gun topped that of his own father and grandfather(and possibly even further back in the line). This praise has led to a selfconfidence that overrides his own common sense in many occasions. He has decided to strap on his holsters and show the world what a normal man can do in a world of metahumans.
He dresses in a black trench coat that he uses to store all his weapons (hand-guns, throwing stars, knives, etc.). A thin layer of kevlar is covered by his grey overshirt. An old school fedora and mask help him pull off the Golden Age look and allows him, with a quick removal, to blend into almost any crowd. His boots can also be used to hide a knife, gun, or whatever he comes up with.
His cat-like reflexes and cool exterior serve him well in combat. But, like all men, Dirk experiences fear in the face of harsh adversity. Over the years, he has managed to master the perfect poker face to bluff his opponents and allies and has the overbearing will to keep his hand steady for every shot.
Watch out! The Lone Gunman of the Apocalypse has arrived.

villains. . .

Clive Collins. Think Lex Luthor with a Satan complex. Prominent New Orleans businessman with his fingers in a lot of pies. Perhaps too many.

Tall, thin, with red hair and a goatee. Favors dark silk suits, made just for him. This is not a man who buys off the rack. Knows the art, as Eurostar would say. Not as powerful as he wants people to think he is, however. His patrons will one day ask for him to make payment due.

Elsa Collins. Wife of Clive. Often ignored, Elsa takes her pleasures when and where she can get them. Red hair with black streaks. Elsa has a spider fetish, and spider designs can be found worked into her outfits. Goes through lovers like popcorn.

Grimm

Some "villains" I would like to bring in somewhere down the line (probably two or three issues later).

The Bruttes-A team of cyborg metahumans who will show up looking to "collect" Grimm for their employer. They consist of:

Rant-A cyborg designed to mimic vampirism. Rant is capable of supernormal speed, strength, and agility. He is also capable of regeneration from most injuries. Rant can emit a mist from his body which causes those trapped within to enter a highly suggestive hypnotic state. Rant's abilities come at a price, as he must feed on blood to maintain them, much like a true vampire. Rant is only 5'7" and suffers from short man's syndrome, causing him to be loud and boastful. He wears all black clothing including a long black trenchoat, and when he smiles his metal fangs gleam.

Blackwulf-Schizophrenic shapeshifter. Blackwulf is large, hairy norse looking man. About 6'9" with wolfen physical characteristics. At times, he has claimed to be a Viking, a werewolf, a former Russian Spetznaz (sp) agent, and an aggravating imp known as Mr. Annoying. It is believed that when his metagene manifested it shattered his fragile mind into these multipile personalities. When Blackwulf's personality shifts, it is usually accompanied by physical changes that he refers to as "Mutations." Blackwulf does not have full control over his ability and sometimes his transformations surprise even him. Rant and Blackwulf have a bit of a love/hate relationship in that during quiet times, they will often be found arguing and sniping at each other. However, in the heat of battle they make a surprisingly effective team.

Holocaust-Pyrokinetic sociopath. Holocaust doesn't care as long as he has something or someone to burn.

Gunslinger-Cyborg assassin. Gunslinger has two cybernetic arms that he uses as guns. He never speaks, even to his partners. He has an Old West fixation and dresses like a "goth cowboy."

With this, we have a new "Guild" for the next millenium.

I don't get the reference. . .

Grimm

Then it sounds like you need to read "TOMB Code 'no': Malvana's Song" over at the TOMB Yahoo! group!

Yeah, it's on my to read list. Thanks to a certain someone.

Grimm

That was one of my most favourite pre-TTT TOMB stories, especially since that was where my character, Hawley Griffin, the Invisible Man, was first fleshed out.

Y'know, I think I'd really like to play around with TOMB again someday soon. Since Tryst would be gone, though, after the last TOMB story, I'd have to introduce the Old Universe version of "Chance" to the team in order to participate.

Of course, what I'd REALLY like to see is TOMB Forever completed. I was enjoying the interaction between Tryst, Joker1 and Malvana quite a bit, and looked forward to Pro's writing Hawley Griffin a bit more, too, not to mention all the other temporary, stand-in TOMB members who were due to show up. (No pressure, Pro, just stating my admiration for that unfinished story. :) )

Nailed by jealous gods to the fiery iron wheel of Ixion, rotating counter-clockwise, and drenched in the blood from the spirit heart of the universe, the mad prophet known as Dave only manifests as a shrouded vision in the mind's eye, and only at times of cosmic destruction and rebirth.

Heh heh. Very Grant Morrison. Cool.

Born in the primordial times when the Earth was young, I became sentient, aware. I fed off of the other creatures around me and learned to take their forms for my own to survive. I outlived my own race and those that followed it. I will outlive humanity. You know me by various myths and legends. The Native Americans called me The Skinwalker. That's close enough.

Eurostar updates:

Powers:
He can grow feathers from his arms, and use tham to fly like a bird, a giant eagle. He can soars over air currents at thirty miles per hour, and dive from high at closed wings at around two hundred miles per hour. To take flight he has to run for at last ten yards.

He is a little stronger than a normal human, and his skin a little more resilient.

He has hard nails like claws, but not longer than a normal man.

He has a magnifing vision (like seeing trough a binocular).

Nothing else.

Ah, he has his pet UFO, a flying machine that defy gravity, turns at any angles, flies at one thousand miles per hour, and it's able to create circles in the crops.

bump for the newbies.

The Metahuman Brotherhood of Liberation


Inspired by the "Revolutionaries" in their early appearances, the Metahuman Brotherhood of Liberation has taken up the cause of metahuman freedom. At the expense of the norms who currently run things. Early on, they committed a series of bank robberies and other small crimes, while openly proclaming themselves as meta terrorists. Now, they have the funds they need, and possibly other members waiting to strike. With the massacre and destruction of Disney World in Florida, they have made their first strike against humanity.

The known members are:

"Nowhereman" meta ability-Charisma and persuasion.

"Eurostar"-ability to mimic the meta abilities of those he meets.

"Danny"-can summon temporal duplicates of himself.

"TC"-control of kinetic energy. can speed up or slow down an objects velocity.

"LLance"-metal skin. painted to appear as a normal human.

"Naecken"-large size and strength. ram horns and face. painted blue to mimic the appearance of Naecken.

"Velo"-can project powerful force blasts from his hands.

"Mxy"-can cause people to experience poweful hallucinations.

The characters themselves do not go by these codenames, or even use names in public. These are merely the characters they are masquerading as.

Who the hell was the Skinwalker?

I thought it was one of Grimm and Doc's friends who fizzled out after a while...

Whoever he was, he was one bad muthah...

Shut yo' mouth!

That's why you gotta keep your bitches under control, Grimm.

Let's not start the bitches thing again.


Hey, at least Blackwulf posted tonight.

Yeah, but it was just his solo thread, not the main story, so who'll notice? :lol:

Ok ok, break it up here. I would like to inform everyone to take their bitching about Grimm's bitches to the main talk thread becasue this sucka is closed. Ain't that a fact.
