The Seven - (An all OC RP inspired by 'the Boys')

[Chantarelle]

Nice! Thanx! 🤗

[Chantarelle]

Character:Bodhi
Player: Chantarelle

Role: The Seven
Powers/Special abilities:

• Telekenesis:

The power to move and manipulate matter psychically.

• Astral Projection:

Achieved through a deep, meditative state astral projection or (remote viewing) is the practice of psychically sensing with the mind a distant and unseen person, place, or thing in real-time.

• Pathokenesis:

Bodhi can easily induce a range of feelings in others; anxiety and fear, disgust or love, despair or bliss, etc. Note, closeness in proximity is a factor in the depth of emotional persuasion which she can affect.

Personality:

• Devious:

Manipulative with others hearts and souls at best, Bodhi's most devastating trick is lying to herself.

• Egomaniacal:

With greatness comes the most desired thing of all, love. Of course, not true love, that would entail selflessness and that is not exactly something Bodhi has learned to exhibit. No, the kind of love Bodhi hungers for can be found only in worshippers.

• Perfectionist:

Bodhi believes in surrounding herself in beauty, Bohdi also believes in the power of beauty, which means she holds high standards when it comes to herself and others.

• Temperamental:

At times volatile when triggered, she can become irrational and violent and the drugs she indulges in don't help matters.

History:

• Early Years:

Bodhi, who's real name is Milania, was raised in poverty. Her parents, drug-addicted and incapable of raising a child eventually lost Milania to the state where she was placed in the foster care system at the age of 7. Personality fully developed, psychologically speaking, the girl would forever see the world through a lens of distrust.

• Middle Years:

Adopted at age 8 by an older woman in Vought International's PR team, she was taught another developmental lesson, this time, in "image", further layering her trauma. By age 9 she had already been given the Compound V injection but it wouldn't be until age 14 she'd begin to first experience its effects. Puberty was rough for Milania and even rougher on her mother. The tantrums and anger seemed to spring up over night and culminated in the girl running away to live in a commune after she'd "fallen in love" with one of its members. The "love" didn't last of course, but the years of drug taking and transcendental meditation did just as did the realization that she was "different".

• Today:

Found and incorporated into "The Seven" at 20, Milania, who now has long gone by Bodhi, believes she has found the very place she was destined to be. The fame she's found brings what she believes is happiness but it also brings with it, the opportunity to start a following, a potential congregation of sheep that not only adore her...but would die for her.

May I join???

[Chantarelle]

May I join???

:)

[Gannameade]

Sorry I didn't know all the roles were full.  My apologies.

[Chantarelle]

I think there are still other factions available.

[inkybus]

Alright, I slept on it and now I've come up with a second draft: let me know if this is more in line with the setting!

Vis

Player: inkybus
Character: Vis

Civilian name: Iulia Wright
Age: 24
Eyes: dark gray
Hair: straight, dark blonde
Height: 167cm (5'6")

Role: The Seven
Powers/Special abilities:

• Super Human Condition - Vis' body benefits from enhanced durability and strength, as well as superhuman speed and reflexes;
• Narcotic Essence - her blood, sweat, saliva or tears: everything in liquid form from her body is the most powerful drug that can be found and if she briefly brushed her pinky against the skin of a regular human, they would be knocked into a trippy unconsciousness for thirty minutes (but at least it is not addictive or toxic);
• Chemical Resistance - due to her biologically produced drug, Vis is immune to most chemicals existing in the known world: the bite of a black mamba, for example, would be irritating to her at best and she would need to be bitten fifty times to be killed in such a way (this also means she can drink most people under the table);

Personality:

• Brave - Vis is remarkably brave and has no qualms throwing down with those who would disturb the peace or standing her ground against a bigger threat than she can handle (though she is not suicidal by any stretch);
• Calm - she is remarkably level-headed and difficult to anger;
• Lazy - unless it is to kick criminal butt or lazing in a pool on a flotation device with a cool cocktail, it's difficult to get her to do anything unless it's an order from the higher-ups;

History:

• when she was born, Vought approached Iulia's parents claiming that she might be a superhero: they requested to make some tests and paid a lot under the guise of research to monitor her growth and, "should her powers manifest" the way they did so and the outcome of her growth- in reality they injected her with the compound when they first 'examined' her and then kept tabs on her through those check-ups;
• her powers started appearing when she became nineteen, while she lounged around in the pool of a friend's house: because of her powers, the few friends that were with her in the pool fell unconscious in the water and had to be rescued- thankfully, there were no deaths, though one of the young girls had to stay in the hospital for a bit longer for thorough checks to make sure she hadn't suffered brain damage due to the asphyxiation;
• after that, Vis threw her lot in with Vought, as they were the front of supes research and gave them the means to live well, with many connections to the government and the protection that comes from such an arrangement- given how much she was paid to enter the fold in the first place, it was unlikely she would look for a different organisation to be with, as she got enough money to play around with a yacht, on the snowy mountains or in high-stakes poker games;

Relationships/Connections:

• Missy Thompson - the niece of the NYC police chief, that she had a fling with in highschool (before getting powers) and still a good friend;
• Lineage - a fun older sister Vis met at the NYC youth camp sponsored by Vought;
• TBD
• TBD

Secrets/Gossip:

• due to how her powers were discovered, some people speculate she had something against her friends she unwittingly almost drowned;
• whispered behind her back is her inability to find someone who she can be intimate with, due to her power sending anyone who touches her with their bare skin to cloud nine thousand;
• while the narcotic her body produces cannot be reproduced in any lab, some doctors doing physical check-ups on her seem to have 'misplaced' samples of trippy stuff that is then diluted or mixed with other drugs: rumours abound about her involvement but… anyone who knows her is keenly aware that she is too lazy to chase more money than she already has;

Vanguard

Basic Information
Name: Trevor Washington
Role: Professional Hero
Alias: Vanguard
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Hetero
Age: 35
Height/Build:  6'2 220 lbs
Hair/Eye Colour: Dark Sandy Blonde/Blue eyes with a little green
Faceclaim: Chris Evans
Notable Features: None

Personality & History

Personality: When on the clock he’s outwardly patriotic, virtuous, and gregarious. Always has time for a selfie bomb and a handshake, as long as he’s not on duty! When doing his job, he puts the safety of people first, even if he might lose the battle at that moment. When not on the clock he could give a fuck about you and always has his eye out for a spectacular set of female attributes. A practical lifetime of sheltering has made him act out to the point of late night partying when the company doesn’t reel him in. Loves the power, and loves what he can do with it in or out of uniform.

Aspirations & fears: Wanted a spot in The Seven, but fears his “age” was catching up to him and the company’s need to look for younger talent keeps him on edge and always looking for ways to stay relevant.

History: Trevor Washington was your typical All-American boy. A house, dog, and nuclear family, along with a white picket fence to stake their piece of the American Dream. As his powers fully manifested, he was entered into such competitions as “The Lil’est Hero” and later in the super-oriented obstacle show “Escape the Lair”. In between his parents arranged for coaching and “field time” where he got to engage in ride-along styled segments with established heroes in the community.

Vought, saw the promise of the young man early, and made sure to create a place for him where he could hone his craft until they needed him. Where he could serve the people who really mattered. The American People. He would become Vanguard upon joining The Seven, as it tested higher than his original name Star Spangled Bruiser.   

And as Vanguard, he has seen his popularity rise higher than it’s ever been. Higher than he feels its had a right to be, which is why he fights so hard to keep his ratings strong. By any means necessary.

Abilities

Superpowers:

• Slowed Aging: Thirty Five years young and still looking like he can sweep a terrorists’ safe house clean! He’s definitely getting older, but he’d be bench pressing coeds for fun well past a hundred…if he lives!



• Fast Healer: While not instant, his ability to heal means that he can come back from some of the worst physical damage with time and care. Things that would kill a normal person would mean a few months in a hospital. And that’s if they’ve got to juice to get through…which leads us to-



• Durable: Like many of his ilk, he’s been left with the ability to shrug off insignificant damage. 9mm? Fuck you. .50 cal? You better aim for the head, because when he gets up, it’ll be his turn. He’ll take it slow. You’ve earned it.



• Triathlete on all the crack: He can run faster than most cars drive on the street, while dodging other cars and shooting a gun with a ridiculous amount of accuracy. The shit people fake with Parkour he does just to show up the people faking it, because Parkour is fucking stupid. He likes throwing things at people. Sometimes he likes to see if he can throw jelly beans in a woman’s cleavage from a few yards out…you just gotta lob it right.



• America Strong!: The might of America coursing through him with the physique to match, you better be ready to send waves if you wanna storm this fortress of liberty!.



• Vought Trained: What do you do when your parents want you to be the best? Every program he was signed up for was connected to Vought either directly or through a subsidiary, and they gave him all they could.

Equipment:

• Vanguardian Suit: Navy blue suit with a patriotic flare, with a belt used to hold all manners of military might! Most of the pockets have Jelly beans of assorted colors.


• The Shield: Metal triangular shield with his symbol that’s made of the same material as the space shuttle’s heat shield.


• Jelly Belly: Belt around his waist holds mostly jelly beans arranged by color. He eats them in-between tasks or when he's not doing anything in particular..

Skills:

• Accountant: You laugh, but he is. The man has a mind for numbers that could get him far. He’s even got a CPA under his name Trevor Washington.


• Cook: One more thing to do when you spend your life in a parent-controlled bubble. Cook as if the world was at your doorstep. He cooks a little something from everywhere when possible…except Russia


• Orator: He can drop a speech about nothing if needed, and usually likes hamming it up when he has those moments to speak dramatically for the camera.

Weaknesses:

• Sheltered Life: He was raised on things that, while Vought-centric, weren’t necessarily bad. Duty, honor, sacrifice. All things to admire, until the bubble crashes down and the real world knocks every single thing he learned right on its ass. And Homelander?! Homelander becomes the truth that he lives in pursuit of. This places him at potential odds with heroes and villains alike, and makes Vought a little harder than they should to keep his clean image unmarred.


• Type-cast: The company struck gold when the Vanguard’s origin story took off, and since then he’s been rah-rah America. It’s just been different variations of the same things, and he is trying to expand his brand beyond that. He doesn’t really feel like there’s anything he can do about it, because he’s been convinced that the super-patriot angle is the only thing holding his numbers up enough to be a solid Seven member.


• Hero all the Time: Some people have a life they can lead when not in uniform, but he has a face too recognizable. The pressure to live the lie to such an extent requires minor blow-ups here and there that he prefer to have with supers who can live through it, but beggars can’t be choosers, now can they?

Connections

The Seven? Kinda…maybe? He has the feeling that any exposure to them for longer than he needs is bad for everyone involved.

Secrets/Gossip: Trevor was a candidate for Vought’s plan to inject supers in the military, before the project was shuttered. His efforts have, at times, resulted in deaths that are always, ALWAYS blamed on the victims or perpetrators. Never him. No exceptions. Has a weakness for ladies, especially groupies that stroke his ego while stroking him. Has not grown all the way out of his Frat mindset, and will party hard. Sometimes these soirees will result in the death of someone who thought they could party with a supe, but couldn’t. These have been swept under the rug, as they weren’t exactly crimes, and he wasn’t necessarily at fault.

Extras

Theme Song: Real American

Corporate Sponsorships:

Take your pick! He’s who they use when they can’t afford Homelander, so NASCAR, car dealerships. Vought’s Patriotic Pop. Any Verteran’s organization able to foot his appearance fee.

Player goals

I’d like to pursuit his need to keep his spot in the Seven and how it might result in his slow and painful downfall, or additional fame!

[Kara Danvers]

Character:"Wondrous" Alexandria Anders
Player:Kara Danvers

Role: PAYBACK
Powers/Special abilities:

• Super Strength - The upper limits of Alexandria's strength are currently unknown, and thus far no test has been able to accurately measure this power. Her powers appear to be somehow "will" activated, and she can turn her super strength on and off. She describes it as mentally "turning up" or down a dial, to determine how much strength she employs. The greatest known feat in this area was Wondrous lifting a 200 ton train engine to save victims after a train crash.

• Super Speed - Vought estimates Alexandria's top speed to be around 100-200 miles per hour, mostly due to the strength ability allowing her to push off more quickly. Her reaction times are also super human, but her abilities in this area are far, far less than what would be classified as a "speedster".

• Invulnerability - Alexandria is extremely durable and difficult to harm. Conventional weapons cause almost no damage, but she can be hurt by more powerful weaponry.

Personality:

• Moral -  Due to her upbringing, Alexandria is extremly moral. She will always try to do what's right, and often put others ahead of herself. While this makes her a good hero, it also makes it difficult to rise up the ranks in such a cutthroat world.
  

• Loyalty - Alexandria is loyal to a fault. If she considers someone to be a friend, and trusts them, she will do anything in her power to protect them and will defend them in almost anything. However, if she is crossed, she is slow to forgive, even though she usually does in the end do to her moral code.

• Naivety - Alexandria is young, inexperienced and very sheltered. She is outgoing, and has a wry and quick-witted personality. She likes to joke and play, and is usually very upbeat. However, due to her sheltered upbringing she is very easily manipulated by those she trusts, and is new to this sort of competitive and cynical world.

History:

• Early Life - Alexandria was born in upper New Hampshire, living in a multi-million dollar gated community with her parents. This community was all-inclusive for the families purposes, and it was rare for anyone to set foot off of the large estate. The location housed a school, a grocery store, and various shops and operated as it's own isolated community. She was raised in an environment where she was inundated with morality and religion. Her father owned major interest in various energy companies, a position which granted him extreme wealth and power. Of course, this often aligned his interest with the interests of Vought, and the two entered into an agreement. Vought would enjoy an extreme discount on their energy expenses, and (for parents who chose to agree) Vought could dose children to create supers in their community. This allowed both Vought and the parents to ensure that only those they saw fit would obtain these sorts of powers. One of these children, was Alexandria.

• Teenage years - Alexandria enjoyed a relatively normal childhood, at least from her own prospective. She went to school had friends, and had the same sort of experiences other children experienced. However, at all times, morality was reinforced. She was taught to deny herself any sexual pleasure and put aside any and all sexual thoughts. Her powers appeared when she was a sophomore in high school. Her parents assured her that this was a gift from God, and she was chosen to uphold morality and set a perfect example for others, all while fighting for what was right and true. She accepted this as truth, and took the title of "Wonderous". Alexandria moved into a Vought compound, where she began her training and work as a hero.
  

• Current Life - Alexandra parents instated she finished college, so she attended NYU. During this time she continued to operate as Wonderous under the oversight of Vought. During these days, she wore a mask and attempted to maintain her normal life. Upon graduating from college at the age of twenty-two, Vought offered a spot in Payback. Of course, she had no idea this was arranged by her father. Alexandria is a new member of the group, and has only been around a couple of months.

Relationships/Connections:
(TBD)

Secrets/Gossip:

• Unknown to anyone but herself, Wondrous has a weakness. Sexuality and sexual pleasure appears to weaken her. While she remains a virgin, she discovered after attempting to pleasure herself that this caused her powers to weaken. The exact implications and way this works is unknown, but it appears to be somehow linked to her strict moral upbringing, and the way her powers appear connected to her mind.

Sheet updates for this game!

Character: Victor Caine 

"Well, there goes my next bonus."

Player: Aiden

Role: Senior VP of Hero Management
Powers/Special abilities: None, Vincent is a non modified (Classified) human.


Personality:

• Ambitious

Victor was not the “come up from the mailroom” success story. Once upon a time, he was a lawyer with a degree and a mountain of debt. He wanted to go out and do good, and the world took a shit on him. When he was picked up cheaply by Vought, he was meant to be some paper pusher in the endless dungeons of the legal department, but Victor refused to let that shit continue. He began to work hard, not that bootstrap bullshit. He lied, betrayed, fucked, and blackmailed his way to the top.

• Charismatic

Victor's overly toothy smile and ability to be jovial when needed have done a lot for his career. Underestimating Victor is the worst mistake a person can make, but when he needs to turn on the charm, he cleans up well and can hang with World Leaders and the “Upper Crust” of society if it will benefit him somehow.

• Sociopath Evil

Take what you wish from the meaning. Some would call it selfish, cruel, and demanding. Your feelings don’t matter when his bottom line is at stake (Vought’s interest, he supposes). Your problems are inconveniences that will be removed or be your demise. Victor isn’t about to go and kick over a basket of puppies. He might adopt the little fuckers and roll around on the floor in his office until he gets bored. Feelings are temporary annoyances: lust, love, obsession, joy, or sadness. Get your shit together and get back to fucking work.


History:

• Before Vought

, Victor grew up in the middle of bumfuck-nowhere, Texas, where his future consisted of oil drilling or farming. He took the first bus out of that shit hole, enlisted in the army, and served long enough to finish school and get his law degree. His attempts to find work failed, and out of desperation accepted a paralegal-type role with Vought. Those early days were shit. He lived out of his car and could barely afford a living. Once he reached his limit, he decided to make a change.

• Early Days with Vought and the Rise of Victor Caine 

Victor was good at collecting information and slowly began to put together various pieces that would make him look good. He did not hesitate to throw those around him under the bus or direct fire. He did not expect others to risk themselves for him and didn't for them. He joined some miscellaneous legal team sent overseas to secure contracts and paperwork for various super-babies. During his work overseas, his actions resulted in a new income stream for Vought and just what he needed to leverage a promotion.

• Excutive Caine

Victor continued to make his name for himself within the company, increasing his status and wealth, respectively. He secured deals, acted on the company's behalf, and was perceived as loyal. Why shouldn't he be loyal? Vought made him rich and provided a lifestyle even the wealthy yearned for. After some unfortunate scandal that resulted in the previous Vice President stepping down, Victor pushed to move from the Junior C-suite into the big leagues. He wasn't surprised how much easier life was at the top, doing 5% of his previous workload for a meager 5000% increase in pay.



Relationships/Connections:

• TBD

Stuff goes here

• TBD

Secrets/Gossip:

• Envy/jealousy

Some think Victor is jealous of the supes and secretly wishes to be one. 

• Ironsides?!

Victor's guns look like a pair of custom guns, a super who disappeared after an unfortunate incident in Europe. Few people have the clearance and knowledge to verify if those guns are replicas, a trophy, or if Caine's life is just some cover story.

Are there possititons on the payback open yet?

[Writersblockade]

Vanguard

Player: Writersblockade

Role: Hero, The Seven

Powers/Special abilities:

• Slowed Aging: Fifty years young and still looks in his thirties. The man can still sweep domestic terrorists’ hidey holes clean and break up drug factories with the best of them! He’d be bench pressing coeds for fun well past a hundred…if he lives!


• Fast Healer: While not instant, his ability to heal means that he can come back from some of the worst physical damage with time and care. Things that would kill a normal person would mean a few months in a hospital. And that’s if they’ve got to juice to get through…which leads us to-


• Durable: Like many of his ilk, he’s been left with the ability to shrug off insignificant damage. 9mm? Fuck you. .50 cal? You better aim for the head, because when he gets up, it’ll be his turn, and he’ll take it slow. You’ve earned it.


• Triathlete on all the crack: He can run faster than most cars drive on the street, while dodging other cars and shooting a gun with a ridiculous amount of accuracy. The shit people fake with Parkour he does just to show up the people faking it, because Parkour is fucking stupid.


• America Strong!: The might of America coursing through him with the physique to match, you better be ready to send waves if you wanna storm this fortress of liberty! Recording a bench press of two tons, thanks to his V boosted muscular and skeletal system, Vanguard brings the gun show to any fight he’s involved in!

Personality:
In-Character

• Level-Headed: When the chips are down, he can be relied on as a man to push for the reasonable path, shielding his team from chaos is with the power clarity and righteousness!
• Selfless: Hard times call for harder decisions, and sometimes he has to put himself between the people he's meant to save and harm's way. So be it.
• Virtuous: Might does not necessarily make right. Those with power have a responsibility to wield it while understanding the true weight of being a hero

Out of Character

• Petty AF: Trevor will take any slight against him personally. How he reacts to said slight will depend on just how much influence the other person has in his life. God help you if you have none.
• Insecure: The fucking suits in Vought decided to make him this patriotic hero…yet one more attempt to recreate The Greatest Generation’s patriotic fervor for the present day. The imposter syndrome is real, and he knows what people are saying behind his back. He knows!
• Self-loathing: This whole thing is bullshit. Surely he can't be the only one that sees it, so that means everyone sees it and just goes along with it. All the handshakes…the appearances…the goddamn autographs, and everyone with their fake fucking smiles. It's wearing on him. Makes what he does for blowing off steam that much worse. Definitely keeps Vought busy.

History:
In-Character

• Born in a Small Town: Trevor Washington was your typical All-American boy. A house, dog, and nuclear family, along with a white picket fence to claim their piece of the American Dream.


• Pageant Guy: As his powers fully manifested, he was entered into such competitions as “The Lil’est Hero” and later in the super-oriented obstacle show “Escape the Lair”. In between his parents arranged for coaching and “field time” where he got to engage in ride-along styled segments with established heroes in the community.


• Man of Conviction: Trevor was raised to be his very best self, and proved that powers are nothing without the guts to stand up for what’s right.

Out of Character

• The Lab Rat: Monitored as part of Vought's continued efforts to groom patriotic heroes, Trevor’s upbringing was steered to instill loyalty and sense of duty to his country, but primarily Vought. A mishap at a “training camp” disrupted the indoctrination process before it could be completed, leaving him with a love of country and Vought, but also the knowledge that everything he'd been told to believe was a lie. He constantly struggles with the conflicting emotions almost everyday


• Defective Product: While Vought did not have complete control of Trevor in a way that would make him an optimal choice for The Seven, he was seen as a good fit for the Middle America demographic, and his antics were not so drastic as to not be fixable after the fact. This is something that he is reminded of often.



• Selfish Bastard: Trevor has twisted the idea of "America First" that he was raised on into "Vanguard First". Which honestly wasn't that big a step. He wants what he wants, and if there's nothing left for anyone else, then that's not his fault. This has led him to arrange for a little accident to befall another patriotic hero that he was in contention with for The Seven. Also he never fails to attempt to nudge for higher ratings, because those ratings give him more chances to get things, so he's a good boy and stays in character…when it suits him.

Relationships/Connections:
TBD

Secrets/Gossip:

• Jelly Belly: Belt around his waist holds mostly jelly beans arranged by color. He eats them in-between takes or when he's not doing anything in particular…also pelts people with them who annoy him. They get the licorice ones, because he hates that flavor. Has been known to lob jelly beans in women's cleavage for fun. Color depends on just how he feels about said cleavage


• Boy Just Wants to Have Fun: Drugs, sex, and whatever music puts him in the mood to do more of the previous two. Has been known to have to be pulled from a pile of women for a scheduled event. Everyday is a party, and he parties hard!


• Win at All Costs: There's a vicious, unfounded rumor that he was behind the pyrotechnic incident that placed The Sentinel on the disabled list before his addition to The Seven. It makes him sick to his stomach to believe that story still gets traction. He continues to pray for the man's well-being, and is grateful for the support that Vought has offered for The Sentinel to live with dignity.

Are there possititons on the payback open yet?

Not the GM, but from what I've gathered, a couple of positions on Payback are still open.

[Primarch]

Are there possititons on the payback open yet?

Hey! Yes I can confirm Payback is open & recruiting.

[Levi]

Nice!

[Xerial]

I did this guy up for another game during my last revival and have always thought he suited the world well. He's meant to be for The Seven, but I can adapt him to Payback as well. I present to y'all... Triage:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Character:Triage (fka Aftermath)
Player: Xerial
Character Name: Kermit Weld
Role: The Seven

Powers/Special Abilities

Qualifications/Skills

🩸  First Responder: Triage is a certified Advanced Care Paramedic with extensive experience in some of the toughest environments in the world. He has supplemented this training with time spent volunteering with Urban Search and Rescue and Firefighting organizations.

🩸 Educated: Triage has a Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology and Medicinal Chemistry. While working with FEMA, Triage received training in Incident Crisis Management and was responsible for organizing and deploying responses to disasters.

🩸 Multi-Sport Athlete: Inspired by his Presidential ancestor (Theodore Roosevelt), Triage has done his best to live a "strenuous life." While in high school he was an accomplished wrestler and track competitor. He is a Golden Gloves boxer and has trained as a fencer and singlestick fighter. Triage is also a 3-gun shooting competitor, something he took up after his time in South America.

🩸 Judoka: Triage is a sixth dan (rokudan) black belt in Judo, once again inspired by his Presidential ancestor. He is not a competitive Judoka, mainly because of other commitments in his life. That, and he takes after Yamashita Yoshitsugu in his application of Judo (see Secrets/Gossip).

Apparent

🩸 Healer: One of Triage's powers most focused on by the PR wags is his ability to stabilize and repair the injuries of others. While he is able to encourage wounds to heal at a rapid rate, and even stimulate rapid tissue regrowth, he is not a miracle worker. Triage cannot stimulate the re-growth of vital organs or bones.

🩸 Regenerative: Triage's powers of healing do not only apply to others. He is able to apply them to himself as well. His system is even more robust, however, as he has demonstrated the ability to regenerate organs over time, heal broken bones faster and even recover from radiation damage. He also appears to be immune to a host of diseases. The only exception to this regeneration is his leg, which was severed before his mutation.

🩸 Resilience: Triage's muscles never seem to fatigue. While he is not supernaturally strong or fast (he is a peak athlete, not a super athlete), he has no quit in him. He never seems to physically fatigue and is able to stay awake for weeks at a time. His stamina is legendary, and not just because the PR flaks love to point out how he will not stop going until he knows every last civilian has been rescued from a scene.

🩸 Resistance: As a biproduct of his rather explosive introduction to Compound V, Triage is resistant (but not immune) to the effects of explosions and fire.

Classified

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

🩸 Hemokinesis: The reality of Triage's suite of publicly known powers is that he has control over the most vital substance in the human body: he can mentally control blood. This is what allows him to stimulate regeneration in others, to apparently never tire and to be resilient to diseases. The terrifying truth, however, is that his mental control over blood is not limited to being inside of a body. He is able to pull blood from people and then to shape its flow in the air. He can aspirate it to spread it over large areas and even make it denser. Have you ever seen someone cut with their own blood? Or choked with a tendril of it? Triage has.

🩸 Renfield+: Aside from just being able to control blood mentally, Triage has also shown the ability to extract nutrients from other people's blood. He is not a vampire, but he can subside on blood for a time without needing to eat or drink.

Note: These powers did not express themselves when he was under observation with Vought the first time. This is why he was released, as he was seen as having little potential for exploitation.

Gear

🩸 Cybernetic Leg: While he had various purpose-built prosthetic legs post-recovery and while he was working as Aftermath, Kermit has received a recent upgrade. That upgrade came from a collaboration between Vought Biomedical, Vought Robotics and the European Space Agency. His leg is an upgraded prosthetic comprised of an ultra-light yet structurally resilient 'skeleton' upon which was built a series of micromotors to simulate joint movement all covered in a supple bullet and blade resistant pseudo-skin. Sensors built into the socket and sleeve allow for movement almost as precise as if the leg were his original.

🩸 Tactical Medical Kit: When deployed to the field, Triage always carries a Vought tactical medical kit. Though it is mostly for show, he always packs some extra medication... just in case.

🩸 Sidearm: Though he has little need for it, Kermit carries a pistol with his tactical gear. Most people assume it is an M1911, the traditional sidearm carried by combat medics to protect those under their care. In truth it is a Cold Delta Elite, a 10mm beast.

Personality

🩸 Daredevil: Triage is an adrenaline junkie. His lack of emotional balance leads him to seek out dangerous situations in order to feel alive. This is the drive that keeps him going into flaming buildings to evacuate people. It pushes him to test his limits physically and mentally. He is not thoroughly reckless, however. He knows all too well he is not immortal, but he is going to push the bounds of his mortality whenever he can.

🩸 Sociopath: Vought PR will attribute his coldness to years of operating in dangerous situations with a need for clinical detatchment. The truth of it is, Triage does not feel empathy. He does not feel emotions in the sense that most people do. He is charismatic and charming. He can seem like everyone's best friend. But those emotions are an act. And act which he maintains only to keep people from bothering him.

🩸 Bon Vivant: Outside of work and the public eye Triage is a man who loves the finer things in life. He expects to dine at the finest restaurants, drive the fastest cars and for designers to sew his clothes onto him.

🩸 Eugenicist: This is perhaps the most hidden aspect of his personality, and another element taken from his Presidential ancestor. Triage believes that some groups of people (criminals for the most part, and to a large degree anyone who is not a Supe) do not deserve to breed. Or at the very least that they have inherently less value to the evolution of humanity.

History

Sanitized Origin

Vought Public Relations love to tout the fact that he comes from Presidential stock. After all, his great great grandfather was not just a President. He was Teddy fucking Roosevelt. The Bull Moose. A man who literally on the Mount Rushmore of Presidents (and who is only topped in popularity polls by his cousin, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington). And better still, Kermit spent much of his youth trying to emulate his most famous relative. While not a Roosevelt in name, it is easy for the flaks to point out similarities to his Presidential progenitor.

Always a bit of a rebel, Kermit eschewed the familty tradition of attending Harvard and instead went to NYU with a mind toward becoming a doctor. His interest shifted in his first year when a friend suggested he volunteer as an EMT dispatcher. While he could have dropped out and started into EMT training right away, he instead played the long game and changed to a dual-degree program which would help with advanced paramedic training down the line.

Some might say that Kermit became addicted to danger during his early years in the field. New York City during those days was plagued with violent street gangs and he was often called to scenes that would break out into conflict. This addiction, along with a sense of wanderlust, saw him transferring to more violent neighborhoods as his career progressed, and ultimately to seeking out opportunities in other cities plagued with violence. Over the course of a decade he worked in Chicago's West Garfield Park, L.A.'s Skid Row, East Las Vegas and the murder capitol of the USA: Youngstown, Ohio. This dance through the most dangerous parts of the country went hand in hand with his journey EMT to Advanced Care Paramedic. In his own way he was supplementing his education with unparalleled experience. To supplement that chase for danger, Kermit worked in disaster relief and search and rescue time with several organizations. He trained in para-rescue, technical-recovery and other technical aspects of the job. 

When it came to his attention that there were countries in South America in need of people to train their own ambulance services, Kermit jumped at the opportunity. He travelled to Guatemala and spent a year training and riding with Bomberos in Guatemala city's red-zones. From there he travelled to Brazil and worked with citizen-run ambulance services that served parts of the favelas abandoned to gangs by the government. It was while riding on training runs in Brazil that he first carried a gun. The gangs there did not care who you were trying to save. If you rode into their turf, they were going to shoot at you. At the height of his time in Brazil he was involved in a firefight which saw his ambulance lit on fire with him inside. It was only due to an appreciative local community's effort that he was saved and brought to a Vought medical facility where he spent months in recovery.

Post-recovery, after years of riding with and training crews in South America, Kermit returned to American soil and sought out a job with FEMA. The organization was not willing to employ him in the field. While they were not going to outright say it, the fact that he had a prosthetic leg was seen to their administration as a potential burden. And so he was given training and employment in crisis management. The shift in his employment coincided with the first public appearances of another figure...

Aftermath

Relegated to a series of mobile operations centers - practically chained to a desk - Kermit began to operate as a masked vigilante under the codename Aftermath. He was quite mobile during this time, appearing often at the scene of disasters to help with rescue efforts.

He did not limit his involvement to rescues, however. Aftermath had a reputation for dealing harshly with looters in post-disaster areas. He would also take the fight to local organized crime in an effort to bust up their theft of an monopoly over relief supplies. While the criminals that he collared during these efforts survived, they were often in pretty bad shape.

It was a very public evacuation effort in a Kansas tornado outbreak that drew the attention of Vought. Videos started to circulate of a masked man handing a child to someone in a shelter only to be thrown across a field into a barn by the winds and then walk it off. Someone within FEMA started doing some digging, and they found out his secret. While he was able to quiet them, he knew it would not be long before he was outed.

The Seven

When it became apparent that he could not sustain a dual-identity whiles till working with FEMA, Kermit reached out through backchannels to Vought. His timing could not have been better. Due to a series of unfortunate events and opening had come up in The Seven. The name Aftermath had too apocalyptic a ring to it for Public Relations, so they tried to get him to embrace something more evocative of his lineage. While Kermit was happy to let them spout off about his lineage, he had to aggressively fight against being codenamed Roosevelt.

The rebranded Triage is not the flashiest member of the The Seven. He does not have a catch-phrase. While capable enough. He only fights in self-defense or to defend others. But he has a deeply loyal following comprised of veterans (who assume that a man with his bloodline must have served at some point), admirers of first responders and patriots.

Kermit Weld was not your typical Vought test subject. In fact, he was not supposed to be exposed to Compound V at all. During his time in Columbia Kermit often ended up riding with EMTs into neighborhoods controlled by the Comando Vermelho, a particularly vicious cartel that has a longstanding relationship with Vought. What better place to test a dangerous compound, after all, than in the heart of a South American favela? The relationship with Comando Vermelho gave Vought several benefits. First, the cartel had unmonitored access to chemicals and substances that were needed to manufacture Compound V. he cartel's proclivity towards kidnapping and smuggling people meant a steady supply of test subjects. And lastly, it could provide them with real estate to set up facilities away from the eyes of any government.

While Kermit riding with a group of recently trained first responders, the team was called to a site of a fire that had spread from one of those facilities. While the effort was supposed to be on evacuating civilians from the area around the fire and containing it as much as possible, Kermit's attention was drawn by cries from help in what appeared to be a ramshackle hut. He followed the cries to a surprisingly well-engineered tunnel and to the half-ajar doors of the facility, which had closed on the legs of a staff member. Kermit called down several people to help prise the door open and clear out the staffer and then ventured deeper in. What he found was laboratory in a state of chaos. The fire had first started within it and was still raging, but he ventured deeper, driven by adrenaline. When he was unable to find any other people in the still intact section of the lab he turned to leave, but an explosion caused a large transport vat of Compound V to became ruptured and spill its contents on him. He was not just covered in the substance, he was positively waterboarded and then left to drown in a pool of it.

Kermit was found by a Vought recovery team in the aftermath of the fire and taken to another facility, missing a leg but somehow alive. The fact he survived subsequent protracted and painful mutation was a Christmas Miracle. When he recovered enough to inform them as to who he was, Vought arranged transportation back to American soil after the very delicate process of rehabilitating him. While they held him for some time to monitor his condition, Vought understood that anyone discovering they had detained the scion of the Roosevelt family would be a disaster that would outweigh any publicity they might gain from having saved him. So they came to an agreement with Kermit that he would sign a series of NDAs regarding his exposure to Compound V and they would help arrange the sanitization of his records to account for the two years of time his recovery took.

Were the full extent of his powers known known to Vought, the story may have played out differently. As it were, they did not begin to express until after he left the lab.

Relationships/Connections

🩸 Family: While not a Roosevelt in name, Triage's family still has its own distinguished pedigree. His father is a sitting State Senator in Nebraska and his mother is a law professor.

🩸 Starfucker: Rumors constantly tie the most brooding member of the Seven to a series of famous actresses and pop stars. The closer the starlet is to minimum voting age, the more likely it is that the rumors are true. Or were for a night.

Secrets/Gossip

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

🩸 Juvenile Offender: Though his record is spotless before he joined the military, this is only because of the combined influence of his family and, much later, Vought PR. Triage spend much of his youth actively seeking out fights. Whether it was going after bullies or calling out thugs, he loved to get into conflicts. And much like Yamashita Yoshitsugu, he was not afraid to be violent in the application of his skills. When he was sixteen, a year before he graduated high school, he was involved in a skirmish where he faced off against a pack of teenagers who were known to prey on people who were patrons of a local gas station. The fight did not go in the favor of the gang even though Kermit was hospitalized. According to the now cleansed police record only three of them escaped uninjured. Five of the the gang were hospitalized, one was crippled for life and he outright killed two.

🩸 Fear the Reaper: Throughout his career Kermit has been quietly tied to a series of incidents. Incidents where someone under his care should have survived but did not. These people were usually criminals and predators of some type. He always managed to weather any allegations of malfesence, either with a careful defense or a quiet word from someone associated with his parents, but there are some who might say he moved around so much because he was one step ahead of the specter of death.

🩸 Self Medicated: Triage is not a drug addict. He does not do cocaine or heroin, he is not into designer drugs. Instead he supplements any order of supplies with a carefully selected cocktail of painkillers and amphetamines. He does not need them thanks to his mutation, but he feels they give him an edge when it comes to focus. Word has it Triage has been making inquiries into getting his hands on the new strains of Compound V lately, but he has not found any source yet.

🩸 Stolen Valor: Triage is the spokesperson for several high profile veterans' associations. Each of them assume he has served in the military and he has done nothing to dissuade them of that notion. While he has never been on camera saying that he served, this assumption has netted him not only a good deal of his fanbase, but no small amount of money and gifts from admirers.

Another familiar face!

I did this guy up for another game during my last revival and have always thought he suited the world well. He's meant to be for The Seven, but I can adapt him to Payback as well. I present to y'all... Triage:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Character:Triage (fka Aftermath)
Player: Xerial
Character Name: Kermit Weld
Role: The Seven

Powers/Special Abilities

Qualifications/Skills

🩸  First Responder: Triage is a certified Advanced Care Paramedic with extensive experience in some of the toughest environments in the world. He has supplemented this training with time spent volunteering with Urban Search and Rescue and Firefighting organizations.

🩸 Educated: Triage has a Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology and Medicinal Chemistry. While working with FEMA, Triage received training in Incident Crisis Management and was responsible for organizing and deploying responses to disasters.

🩸 Multi-Sport Athlete: Inspired by his Presidential ancestor (Theodore Roosevelt), Triage has done his best to live a "strenuous life." While in high school he was an accomplished wrestler and track competitor. He is a Golden Gloves boxer and has trained as a fencer and singlestick fighter. Triage is also a 3-gun shooting competitor, something he took up after his time in South America.

🩸 Judoka: Triage is a sixth dan (rokudan) black belt in Judo, once again inspired by his Presidential ancestor. He is not a competitive Judoka, mainly because of other commitments in his life. That, and he takes after Yamashita Yoshitsugu in his application of Judo (see Secrets/Gossip).

Apparent

🩸 Healer: One of Triage's powers most focused on by the PR wags is his ability to stabilize and repair the injuries of others. While he is able to encourage wounds to heal at a rapid rate, and even stimulate rapid tissue regrowth, he is not a miracle worker. Triage cannot stimulate the re-growth of vital organs or bones.

🩸 Regenerative: Triage's powers of healing do not only apply to others. He is able to apply them to himself as well. His system is even more robust, however, as he has demonstrated the ability to regenerate organs over time, heal broken bones faster and even recover from radiation damage. He also appears to be immune to a host of diseases. The only exception to this regeneration is his leg, which was severed before his mutation.

🩸 Resilience: Triage's muscles never seem to fatigue. While he is not supernaturally strong or fast (he is a peak athlete, not a super athlete), he has no quit in him. He never seems to physically fatigue and is able to stay awake for weeks at a time. His stamina is legendary, and not just because the PR flaks love to point out how he will not stop going until he knows every last civilian has been rescued from a scene.

🩸 Resistance: As a biproduct of his rather explosive introduction to Compound V, Triage is resistant (but not immune) to the effects of explosions and fire.

Classified

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

🩸 Hemokinesis: The reality of Triage's suite of publicly known powers is that he has control over the most vital substance in the human body: he can mentally control blood. This is what allows him to stimulate regeneration in others, to apparently never tire and to be resilient to diseases. The terrifying truth, however, is that his mental control over blood is not limited to being inside of a body. He is able to pull blood from people and then to shape its flow in the air. He can aspirate it to spread it over large areas and even make it denser. Have you ever seen someone cut with their own blood? Or choked with a tendril of it? Triage has.

🩸 Renfield+: Aside from just being able to control blood mentally, Triage has also shown the ability to extract nutrients from other people's blood. He is not a vampire, but he can subside on blood for a time without needing to eat or drink.

Note: These powers did not express themselves when he was under observation with Vought the first time. This is why he was released, as he was seen as having little potential for exploitation.

Gear

🩸 Cybernetic Leg: While he had various purpose-built prosthetic legs post-recovery and while he was working as Aftermath, Kermit has received a recent upgrade. That upgrade came from a collaboration between Vought Biomedical, Vought Robotics and the European Space Agency. His leg is an upgraded prosthetic comprised of an ultra-light yet structurally resilient 'skeleton' upon which was built a series of micromotors to simulate joint movement all covered in a supple bullet and blade resistant pseudo-skin. Sensors built into the socket and sleeve allow for movement almost as precise as if the leg were his original.

🩸 Tactical Medical Kit: When deployed to the field, Triage always carries a Vought tactical medical kit. Though it is mostly for show, he always packs some extra medication... just in case.

🩸 Sidearm: Though he has little need for it, Kermit carries a pistol with his tactical gear. Most people assume it is an M1911, the traditional sidearm carried by combat medics to protect those under their care. In truth it is a Cold Delta Elite, a 10mm beast.

🩸 Eugenicist: This is perhaps the most hidden aspect of his personality, and another element taken from his Presidential ancestor.

Dropped you a PM with Discord invite & character feedback

[Xerial]

Hello all.

Jumped the gun on the character. Re-tooling.

Edit: ...now, do I keep the Presidential bloodline while going less... out there? Maybe his codename is actually Roosevelt? I wager I need to get on Discord.

Edit 2: Roosevelt -v

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Character: Roosevelt (re-branded from Bloodhound)
Player: Xerial
Character Name: Kermit Weld
Apparent Age: 21

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

(actually in his early 70s)

Role: Payback

Powers/Special Abilities

Apparent

• Compound V Biology: Much like anyone who lived through adult tetsting of Compound V, Roosevelt's physical atributes are enhanced beyond that of even an apex human. He is every bit the kind of hero that you would expect to end up in the big leagues physically.

• Enhanced Senses: While all of his senses are enchanced, the root of his old nickname (Bloodhound) lies in the fact that Roosevelt has an increadible sense of smell. Similar to a his old namesake, he can pick out human scents at a great distance.

• Pheremonal Control: Roosevelt has limited control over his pheremones. He can either supress them (which is handy when avoiding other scent trackers) or enahnce them. In the case of the later he emits a signature 'musk' which has been known to drive women to distraction.

Vought Classified

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

• Regeneration: Perhaps the defining ability of Roosevelt's is one that is not publically advertised. Quite simply, his ability to regenerate from seemingly impossible situations is staggering. He is not the most durable Supe out there, but he just cannot seem to die. He has been blown up, dismembered, behaded, frozen, drowned, put through a woodchipper and more and yet he just comes back. The extent of his regeneration only has a theoretical limit. As of yet he has not been atomized. So there is that.

• Ageless: As a biproduct of his regeneration (and much to his chagrin), Roosevelt has not aged a day since his trial run of Compound V. This is especially frustrating for him because he underwent the procedure when he was only nineteen, and he can barely pass as being in his early twenties.

Qualifications/Skills

Public

• God U Graduate: Roosevelt, then known as Bloodhound, attended the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, and has only recently graduated. He excelled in chemistry, forensics and tactical operations. These qualities (and his marketable family) are what saw him drafted first overall to Payback in the annual 'Vought Hero Draft.'

• Judokan Roosevelt is a second dan (nidan) black belt in Judo, inspired by his Presidential ancestor, though he only took up the sport after spending time in Japan before going to University. He is not a competitive Judoka, as he feels it would be unfair to his fellow practitioners. Instead, he practices Judo as a way of finding the mental restraint to use his gifts responsibly.

Private

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

• Killing Machine: In reality, his practice of Judo, and his martial skills in general have less in common with Theodore Roosevelt and more in common with the man who taught the President Judo: Yamashita Yoshitsugu. Roosevelt has spent the majority of his life learning to kill people in interesting ways. He was a street brawler, a soldier and an assassin long before he was a 'teenage' heartthrob.

Personality

Public

• Rebelious: If Payback was a boy band, Roosevelt would be the 'bad boy.' His public image embodies a softened, more modern form of his Presidential anscestor. He leads a strenuous life and encourages his admirers to do the same (sign up now for Teddy's Fitness Tribe and you could win a one on one personal training session with Roosevelt). At the same time he has a reputation for questioning authority just enough to be charming.

• Soft Spoken: Another affectation that embodies his Presidential anscestor is his soft spoken nature. Though virile and masculine, he has a reputation for being a man who spends time forming opinions and speaks them from a place of quiet intellect rather than emotion.

• Patriotic: Roosevelt believes in a strong America where everyone is given a fair deal so long as they embody American ideals. Freedom, justice and the pursuit of happiness are his favorite things.

Private

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

• Happiness Predator: When it comes to the pursuit of happiness, Kermit is never happier than when he is fighting, fueling himself with narcotics or fucking. He is not especially picky about which order he does them in or whether his partners are willing. It is only because Vought has afforded him a lavish lifestyle that he restrains his more anamalistic tendencies.

• Out of Touch: Any reference to Kermit being older than 21 has been purged by Vought's Legal and PR teams. To all outward appearances he is a slightly old-fashioned but progressive pro-government member of Gen Z. In reality he is a barely restrained snarling throwback. If it is not about 'returning to the ideals of our finest Presidents' he barely understands anything the PR flaks tell him to say in public. Even the references to his family make him want to vomit every time he says them.

• Blue Chipper: Kermit's father, Jonathan Weld, is a standing US Senator married to an obscure descendant of Theodore Roosevelt. Senator Weld's life had been managed by Vought from an early age. He came from nothing, was orphaned young and would have wasted away in obscurity if they had not quietly intervened. He was adopted by a family hand-picked by Vought, received a top-tier education, and was introduced to his wife Mary Walsh (her mother was a Roosevelt) while they were both in high school. The two of them married and she supported him through univeristy (he went to Harvard) and his entire political career. Together they had one child, a boy they named Kermit after her great-great-grandfather, who it would seem was destined for great things.

There are only two factors keeping him from becoming a member of the The Seven. The first is that he has relatively little practical experience as a hero. The second is that there are simply no spots available. Otherwise Vought would salivate at the thought of a Roosevelt

• Military Booster: As much as he loves the government, Roosevelt has been very publically critical of the legistlation that prevents Supes from serving in the military. If only he was able to to fight for his country he might be able to help more of his fellow partiots come back alive.

• Twisted Lineage: Jonathan Weld is not Kermit's father. Mary is not his mother. Their family is not as happy as things would seem. Five years ago Kermit Weld died in a car accident. He was drunk and getting road head when his car collided with a barrier. Vought security personnel were the first on the scene and everything was sanitized. The death of Kermit Weld presented an opportunity for Vought to 'repatriate' an older asset into the company fold. Enter the 'young' man with a striking resemblance to their son. After a 'year studying abroad' Kermit returned to the family homestead. Anyone who questioned his change in style and why he seemed a little shorter was

Mary and Kermit are blood related, but he is in reality her great uncle. He was born Kim Roosevelt. His father was Kermit Roosevelt Jr. and President Roosevelt is in fat Kim's great-grandfather.

• Military Service: Not only did Roosevelt serve in the military, he served in the Vietnam War. He served two years prior to volunteering for the experiment that exposed him to Compound V and one year after before being 'killed in action.' His service was perfectly legal, and would have been Vought PR gold if not for the fact that his father was CIA and the Vietnam was was a clusterfuck.

• CIA Operative: After several wartime incidents that almost became entirely too public, Kim's father sponsored his employment by the CIA and negotiated a 'loan' of his services from Vought to the American government. He began his service with Operation Phoenix, a CIA project that saw the elimination of over eighty thousand suspected Viet Cong and the man they now call Roosevelt was personally responsible for a percentage of that numner. He was employed by the CIA for decades as one of their single most devestating operatives before some 'Democrat fuckwit' decided to start asking too many questions about operations he was involved with and he had retire.

• Another Skeleton in Vought's Closet: At least Roosevelt is not a Nazi. In fact, if he had been born a few decades earlier he would have been shoulder to shoulder killing Nazi's with Soldier Boy. But how do you sell the people on a near-octegenarian assassin who carried a flamethrower in the jungles of Vietnam as some kind of hero? They already had Black Noir. But they also could not just let him try to blend into civilian life. He needed purpose and guidance. So they showed him his first taste of the high life, kept him out of the public eye and waited until the perfect opportunity showed itself.

Relationships/Connections

• Family: Despite what some might call a questionable relationship with them, Roosevelt really does love his family. He loves them despite the fact his dad won't stop hounding him to go to Harvard.

• Star Crossed Lover: There have been a string of young starlets, socialites and aspiring heroines tied to Kermit Weld ever since he was a young man. His love life has long been the stuff of tabloid speculation, even if he publically insists he was a virgin until he went to God U (and he won't say who his first was).

Secrets/Gossip

• Star Fucker: The public association with female celebrities would be all well and good if not for the fact that for the past five years an eighty year old man has been pretending to be Kermit Weld. Coincidentally, a good number of his 'girl friends' have ended up in rehab since he returned stateside.

• Suidical: Less about depression and more about morbid curiosity, Kermit has turned putting himself in deadly situations into an art. He was not fed into a woodchipper by some nefarious enemy. He jumped into one back in the 80s on a dare while high on cocaine. It took years for him to him to come back, but fucked if it did not mess with his handlers when he walked back into their office like nothing happened.

• War Criminal: What has only been recorded in the deepest darkest archives of a military that loves making mountains of redacted paper records are the details of Lance Corporal Kim Roosevelt's service. Especially the part where he served in three different infantry companies over the course of two tours and each of those companies had a unit disbanded under allegations of war crimes? Roosevelt was not just a zealous patriot, he was a gleeful butcher of Vietnamese civilians armed with a flamethrower and a set of morals his Presidential namesake would be sickened by.
