“The Forces That Are”
Since I have not updated in a while I thought I would take a moment to break down the two sides that are competing for control of the fate of the multiverse.
The “good” guys-
INIFINTI- Goddess of creation and divergence. She is the one that keeps the multiverse running and allows for the “core” timeline and reality to alter. Few know of her and she is not widely worshipped BUT she is extremely powerful due to the unlimited powers she normally has. She has been trapped in a struggle to hold back her counter part.
TERESA- High level cleric and direct hand of Infiniti. It was she that organized the Champions of Infiniti and has tried to stop the “bad” guys. Her place of operations and thus of the heroes was within a tower in the Lost Lands. Vandel Boc and his assassins have recently killed her.
THE CAPTAIN- From a world very close to our own. During World War II he and his ally, Private Buckley, fought for the allied forces. They were close to finding and defeating the Red Man’s newest and most dangerous plot. Unknown to them, his real ploy was the discovery of magic, which was unheard of in their worlds. Buckley was killed as well as the Captain. The Captain was offered new life if he led the Strikeforce. He agreed.
He is very proper and has a 1940’s mindset of American idealism. He had an experimental shield, which was destroyed with their encounter with a large hulking figure known as the Brute Master. During this same battle, he found a new shield and wields it. It has been strongly hinted at as being a very powerful artifact that allows direct contact with the gods of justice.
CHRISTINA OF THE MACE- Christina is a high level cleric of Infiniti. She knows planeslore and acts as a guide. She has been aiding Infiniti for most of her life traveling through the planes often with alternate history and timelines. She was captured and hidden by a planar assassin known as Jarella until recently. She can be very superstitious at times and seems to have taken to the team’s rogue with an attitude- Jim Addards.
She has a unique condition. While still on her own native plane she was cursed. Her home was Ravenloft so this curse took on new meaning. Everytime she visits Ravenloft of a different time and reality, she meets her mother whom then has something horrible happen to her. Her “true” mother was a caring and watchful spirit that followed her through her adventures. She was referred to as Mom. Jarella destroyed her. Another time her mother of the reality was killed but her spirit and essence was placed into a powerful mace. This mother is referred to as Mother and is very overprotective and at times aggressive. A third mother known as Momma was transformed into a cat then became a familiar to a powerful mage. The mage died but she retailed her abilities. She travels with Christina also. She uses a special dimensional pouch to hide during times of great danger. Recently, she met a version of her mother that was experimented on and mutated into a centipede like creature.
JEAN- The Storm Wielder grew up on the blue seas of Kalamar. It has been hinted at that a dragon was the reason she left her home and lost her family. She tried to become a thief in the city to survive but was no good at it. She was taken in by a mage and trained in the arts of sorcery. She had an eventful and noteworthy adventures with other adventurers until killed by the very dragon that killed her mother. As the others, she was given the opportunity to live in the service of Infiniti and the multiverse.
She is a nature loving and protective mage that specializes in only spells that deal with weather. Recently, she was captured and experimented on. An undead body of a zombie is slowly replacing her beauty and positive life force. She hates herself and what she is becoming.
VANDER STORM BRINGER- Vander was a mercenary Psychic Warrior during the very early stages of Athas’ Cleansing Wars. He has seen little magic then and knew of it only being bad. He was within a few hundred miles of the epicenter of the psionic/magic disaster that created the Deadlands. Instead of dying, he was thrown into a rift of the realities. He found himself in a new world that was very different in many ways from Athas but still the same. War was brewing. During his time here, he was exposed to an artifact called the Deck of Wondrous Things. He found himself once more torn from one reality into another. This time to hell. After an unclear number of years here he was traded with a savage orc within the plane of Chaos. Ten-bites made him wish he were back in hell. But he did train well for war since that was the main thing to do on Acheron. He died displeasing her.
He was brought back to life and now travels with the group as the psionic specialist and very powerful fighter. He was killed when he fought a psionic mind flayer in one-on-one combat. His body was returned and recently brought back to life again (conversion of 3.0 to 3.5 psionics).
JIM ADDARDS aka MEGAMANIA- This rogue came from a world very similar to ours except for there were the start of mutants and super powered beings. He died in the year 2003 and refers to everyday stuff as such. His story is unique in that he served another god before without ever realizing it. He was a very gifted person trained by the US Government to be a spy and when needed, assassin. He was okay with this but found his life kept becoming twisted with possible cultist. Later in life, he began to have dreams of a powerful evil leader similar to Hitler. He became convinced he was born to kill this person to allow an age of enlightenment to begin. It never happened. Vandal Boc killed him.
As with the others, he came back to aid the team. When exposed to magic for the first time he discovered he was a SpellFire Wielder. He has taken great joy in this.
Jim is a rogue in so many ways. He is anti-authoritative and often has conflicts with The Captain. He is also the person that most often thinks out of the box. He has unique solutions that often work (pure luck) in surprising ways. While in Ravenloft, he given a curse, which he has dismissed, but Christina fears for the worst. He is a womanizer but has found he cares for her greatly.
SASHA- An Aural from the Oathbound World. She is another high templar and mage that follows Infiniti. She is new and still trying to fit in. She is proving to be highly informative and seems to know the future and acts like it will be grim.
The “Bad” Guys
The foe that wishes to destroy all none core realities goes by many names. He has been referred to as The Tattooed Man, The Darqueness, and The Destroyer. It has been suggested that he was reduced to an essence with no form from a past battle. His minions were given the mission of collecting artifacts he created so that he may re-absorb his energy back to have form and thus combat Infiniti.
He has promised power to his many generals. Several of these generals have direct links to the heroes.
THE RED LICH- A gaunt viewer and manipulator of others, the Red Lich was once the Red Man that The Captain battled. He is indeed a lich and very powerful. He avoids direct conflict with the heroes. He has hired or coerced several conflicts for the heroes. He appears to be the main leader of The Minions.
BRUTE MASTER- This Ogre of enormous and unnatural strength was the first the heroes fought. He was from a world once protected by epic level heroes but killed one by one by him. He controlled anything and everything he saw. He survived his first battle with the heroes and in turn nearly killed The Captain and Vander in combat. He vowed revenge when they escaped from him.
The Red Lich offered him this chance on a whim. He sent the green brute to Ravenloft to destroy them. However, the powers that be overwhelmed the creature and trapped him making him into a new darklord of an island that is his prison. He still Vows revenge.
JARRELLA- The plane’s greatest assassin. This psionic assassin doppelganger kills with little remorse and completes her given task at any expense. She is most dangerous when allowed to study and psionically read a foe. She attacks physically but also mentally. She has outwitted the team several times and as such collected several artifacts the heroes sought.
She may have a weakness however. She has come to respect the heroes; especially the rogue Megamania. What will mean in the future is uncertain.
VANDEL BOC- This psionic monk assassin has joined the Red Lich if only to kill Megamania. His hatred of the brash young man is so great he has left his “reality” to destroy him. He leads a powerful band of assassins and ninjas that follow his every word.
One of the most distinctive features he has is his facial scars. He received them by Megamania when thrown through glass that tore at his skin. He lost sight in one eye and has a series of jagged scars that center from his eyes and spread out.
There are many others but they have yet to be introduced.
Currently, the battle is centering on a great conflict on the plane of Acheron; The Chaos Plane. What will come of this is unclear and if Sasha knows she is not saying.
