Well, I didn't get it out in time, but here it is. There may be stats and greater looks at some of these later.

Madness and Monsters: A Quick Rundown of Some Mad, Morally Questionable, or Otherwise Oddball Scientists
Dr. Von Reichter, Creator of the Cyber-series
Home Series: Cybersix
Species: Human
Location: Somewhere in Argentina
Status: Currently on the Most Wanted List of several international organizations
General Information: A member of the Third Reich and a scientist of ill-repute, Von Reichter is a gaunt, hawk-nosed man known for his creation of cloned humans and monsters that he unleashes on various parts of Argentina from his hidden jungle lair. Ironically, his own worst nemesis, the heroine Cybersix, is the result of his own experimentation. As a result, Cybersix is the priority target of Von Reichter and his clone progeny, José.

Upton Julius, Billionaire Beast Buiilder
Home Series: Impossible Creatures
Species: Human
Location: Isla Variatas in the South Pacific
Status: Under diplomatic immunity
General Information: A billionaire that uses the stolen technology of the science project code-named "Sigma", Upton Julius populates the post-CLULESS Pacific archipelago of Isla Variatas with numerous chimeric monsters under the command of himself and his underlings, the brutal whaler Whitey Hooten, sadistic ornithologist Velika la Pette, and the vile Dr. Otis Ganglion (a mad scientist in his own right). As the sole owner of the Isla Variatas chain (due to his swindling of native lands), however, Julius's operations are technically legal, and have padded his massive wallet even further by supplying various animal hybrids to the highest bidder.

Naomitsu Madaraki, the Imperial Doctor
Home Series: Franken Fran
Species: Human
Location: Last seen in the Antarctic Ocean
Status: Missing
General Information: Like Von Reichter, Naomitsu Madaraki was a member of the Axis powers during his universe's World War II; unlike Von Reichter, however, Madaraki has a sense of justice and moral compass, albeit a possibly skewn one. Little is known about his career beyond that he is purportedly an amazing physician and has created several flesh golem-like constructs as well as whale-humanoid monsters in the Antarctic.

Fran Madaraki, "Franken Fran"
Home Series: Franken Fran
Species: Artificial construct
Location: Private mansion somewhere in Japan
Status: N/A
General Information: One of the creations of Naomitsu Madaraki, Fran is a blonde-haired young woman with two Frankenstein-esque bolts in her neck and covered in stitches that signify her true nature. An inventive and masterful doctor in her own right, Fran has created attachments that allow her to have two to six extra arms for complex surgeries, and has created servants for herself of various sorts. She is also a noted romantic, almost always taking a patient involved in a matter of love. Be forewarned, however: Fran seems to be a physical personification of karma, and her transfigurations can sometimes bear fruit to that end, such as traitors becoming literal loyal dogs or things far, far worse.

Dr. Clayton Forrester, Way Down in Deep 13
Home Series: Mystery Science Theater 3000
Species: Human
Location: Deep 13 laboratory, beneath the Earth's crust
Status: Employed by the Fraternal Order of Mad Science
General Information: A deranged madman in a neon green labcoat, Dr. Forrester is less of a world conquerer and more of the type that enjoys the act of the experiment in and of itself. In the new universe he's found himself in, Dr. Forrester is most famous for the creation of the Dogbone 3000, a mass-produced replica of the Satellite of Love.

Davros, Lord of the Daleks
Home Series: Doctor Who
Species: Kaled
Location: Skaro
Status: Possibly (but unlikely to be) deceased
General Information: In his home universe, the Kaled scientist Davros, in a megalomaniacal bid for perfection, mutated his own species into the lifeforms that would later be encased in suits and become the terrors known as the Daleks. Davros's goals in his new universe were the same as always: become the ultimate master of the universe with the use of the Daleks. Unfortunately for Davros, the Doctor once again stepped in to stop him, and he is currently presumed dead. Of course, his history of revivals from the grave make this seem unlikely...

Well...this does bring up a fairly obvious point......no doubt, the other dominant species on Skaro has long since been given a one-way free ticket to somewhere.....quieter, right?


Also, according to data from various scout probes sent to Mars (some bearing the ID stamps of the [nonoperational in Coreline] TriOptinum Corp), our version of the Ice Warriors would appear to be Federationists, despite their current state of extreme secrecy.

Damn shame of two things: 1) he has used employees he does not like on tests of the Dogbone 3000, and also 2) the !@##$ is still trying to conquer the world using bad movies.

Now, well, with Forester, one of two things might happen: 1) he suceeds to conquer (part of) the world by grossing the Fictions out, 2) Torches and Pitchforks come after him because of the affront of said bad movies being aired.

Also, according to data from various scout probes sent to Mars (some bearing the ID stamps of the [nonoperational in Coreline] TriOptinum Corp), our version of the Ice Warriors would appear to be Federationists, despite their current state of extreme secrecy.

TriOptinum might not be active, but the weapon designs are still around (like that sweet tri-barreled (or that looked tri-barreled) pump-action shotgun from System Shock 2).

On other notes... I have obtained a digital copy of the FFG Horizon D20 minigame 'Virtual'. So starting Dec 31st at the earliest I'm gonna work on a small add-on to this. Might be small, might be big.

Just a little combination of this, this, and this (well not *this* as in the setting, but *this* as in the carnage).

Yeah... the Digital World/Plane (or as people nowadays call it, 'The Grid') is a little more... chaotic. You might wanna bring a gun-Disks and Digivices ain't cutting it anymore.

The Photobuckets may need revision......unless two pics of the same thing were what you meant to link, mi amigo.


".......Nor are the usual slugthrowers 'cutting it' for that matter. An SB-20 Mag-Pulse rifle is just about(3d10 damage,only to mechanical/electronic,nonmagical targets off-Grid) the only thing worth a short damm round there."

Well, you know what they say: 'Overkill is underrated'.

As for TRON-verse Programs as a Race.... well, there's a few ideas I had. Simple is better, I guess. So going for humanoid Medium race, with some things about them (like the Identity Disks) being Gear. Maybe making them hard to kill and easy to resurrect (as Programs that they are), but being vulnerable to EMP attacks or Data attacks.

Dunno what would be special about ISOs, then, in this setting... haven't seen the movie yet... what I DO know is that they are databeings created by the Grid itself, so... easier for them to adapt to situations, or something?

As for the art, The Grid was like I said-something between this:

this:

and this (as in the violence):

 

[marcoasalazarm]

Some Vehicles that, of course, should be on the Grid write-up (I could use some help... actually, a lot of help... with their stats)

The Grid LightTank, NATO Reportng Name 'Glass Cannon'.

The ENCOM Corporation 'Recognizer' Reconnaissance/Personnel Carrying VTOL Vehicle.

The ENCOM Corporation Mk. 1 and Mk. 2 LightCycles.

The ENCOM Corporation LightRunner.

Maybe......so. However, being essentially the 'first programs'......should get them some....social status versus the ISOs, anyhow? (Rep +4, +5?)

 

[marcoasalazarm]

Well, that's an idea.

As for how the Digital Plane (The Grid) looks... well, it looks like the Grid on the civilized areas and like the Digital World on the uncivilized areas. 'Civilized' are the major cities (example: Paris), uncivilized are areas like, well, the Nevada desert.

There are super-fast highways connecting each Grid city, where Light vehicles and speedsters run to and from. One of the fastest ones around is Wieringo Highway (ot 'Ringo Road'), which connects Keystone and Central City. There is NO SPEED LIMIT on it.
Which is a sort-of good thing when you have the two base cities of The Flash connected by a straight line.

As for the level of destruction that the Vanishing made... well, during the 23 Hours it pretty much feels like a Class 2, and then humanity returning and the rebuilding then reduces it back to Level 1 or 0... on most places.

Ideas? Something funny w/ the Speed Force lately, anyway....seems to be eating random speedsters.....Blue blur.....suddenly hyperacclerates with a yell of suprise and the flash of yellow light.....get the picture?
