Memories...

Chris Mast, one of the buddies that I used to do some role playing with back in high school when I first got started in role playing (boy, am I starting to show my age) has a website with some of the stats on some of the older characters that he, my brother, and his brother used in our early days of playing a mixture of Palladium Books' Ninjas and Superspies, Beyond the Supernatural, Heroes Unlimited, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) (yes, TMNT wasn't always just a kids cartoon, and in the early days was a bit more gory).

Here's the link:

If you use Wren & Dynostar in any of your story lines, one of their main ongoing enemies is a super mutant team that consists of Voltaic from Villians Unlimited, another Mutant that goes by the name Weasel, who has a negate super powers power, and also some nerdy mutant guy named See-All (aka Annoyance's gay lover with the same abilities as Annoyance) that hang out with the two of them that has just about every minor power related to sight, such as the abilities to see through things with x-rays, see things in the dark with infared vision, and a whole bunch of others. Wren and Dynostar hate See-All because he is gay and was always coming on to them and telling them how lovely their underwear was, giving a in-depth description of each pair they wore when he was around since he could see through their suits. Voltaic and Weasel keep See-All around since he's useful in some heists.

Wren and Dnyostar hate Weasel and Voltaic for a variety of reasons, but primarily they are fearful of them, especially as a team, since they have the ability to almost kill Wren and Dynostar by negating their powers and then frying them with electricity, especially since the electricity does damage to Wren even if he's intangible and his powers are still working. Weasel's real name is suspected to be Harold Giovanni Arnoldio Weasemly III, but he hates people using his real name, and very much prefers to use Weasel as his name since it's short and sweet. Weasel owns a Casino in Boonville, MO in the future that we played in, as well as several others in various other cities around the world (our setting was probably around the year 2050 or 3000 AD). In his casino, Weasel has a secret underground Colloseum style arena that he uses to pit various mutants against one another in death or near death matches. Weasel is actually a short black man (a little shorter than 5 foot tall) with a pretty powerful, stocky, strong build who is in to boxing, kick boxking, and a lot of other really athletic activies. He sort of looks like Evander Hollyfield in body build and in facial resemblence, and he's got a major addiction to gambling that he justifies since he owns several major casinos. He is careful not to go overboard with his addiction and only bets primarily on his own illegal arena fights whether they are cock figting, mutant fighting in his death arenas, or an a variety of sports that he knows the odds are pretty good for. In the rare situations when he does start to hurt financially, he uses some of his high ranking underground contacts to rig various sports that he bets on, or, in some rare cases, makes his casino slot machines stop paying out the amounts they legally are suppossed to pay out.

Chris didn't ever have my character's stats since I was usually the GM, and was super possessive of my character sheets and took them off to college with me. I'm not sure if I still have them... I'll need to look around in some boxes in the basement someday and see what if I can find some stats on some of my old characters like Arson-Al, the weapons guy that had a whole semi full of powerful and deadly weapons that Wren stole the first time Al ever was introduced in to a story line, Ran Parstrobe, the magician that was sort of similar in some ways to Dr. Strange, Wifinil - the teleporting magician that was stuck in a space-time continum problem that kept him showing up as an old man one second and a teenager the next in his various run-ins with SeeinDee Corporation (sometimes abbreviated C&D since no one really ever knew that the C&D really wasn't a C&D but was a SeeinDee in game but started out in real life as a a C&D since it stood for Chris and Danny since those were the two players that made up the corporation using organization rules from Ninajas and superspies - in game it's run by a secret society that no one knows much about that probably has some ties to a European Mafia family by the name Seein and a Chicago mafia family with the last name Dee), Dr. Darkcloak - a mysterious gadgeteer that always wore a black bandana around his face and dark clothing that eventually found the cure for Dim Mak and a special strain of it that was developed to just work on mutants, or some of the hundreds of other characters I've made over the years. If I can't find them, I may re-create some the characters and post them on this blog eventually.
