The Claw-Phase 2
|
HOLD TO SURFACE: Interior of claws and bottom of boots contain alien ionic bonding substance, enabling him to stick to surfaces. When charged, this substance will permanently bond with any surface it touches, making it part of the surface itself. Removing the charge will remove the bond.
HELMET: Helmet includes various filtering/analyzing/sensory-boosting/scanning/weaponized equipment. Eventually he will be able of firing a high-frequency transmission beam directly at a target’s inner ear-messing up their equilibrium and rendering them incapable. |
Ticket can target with his eyes by looking at his target. External speakers and internal functions are all voice activated.
ALIEN LASER: The Claw once stopped some punk bank robbers with a supped up, alien laser. No one knew where it came from or how they got it. The Claw used to carry the laser but gave it up, thinking it was too dangerous. Random Bishop carries it now. The laser is replaced by his ionic bond Shock Balls. |

RAIL GUN: An essentially silent, and legendary, weapon that has no moving parts and can fire almost any quarrel, round, or ammunition supplied via an overdose charge of magnetic. Skills/Abilities: Stealth, camouflage, near invisibility. His suit is half black and designed to cover one eye during an operation for better concealment in an urban-jungle warfare situation.

Lashline
Real name: Erika Shearer
Affiliation: Intellect Defense
Temperament: Ex-military vet. Mean, rude, and bitter due to the loss of her right arm above the elbow from her previous military experience.

With small explosions it can be shot out and used as a grappling hook or weapon, which can be swung from. Maximum 2 city block range. Able to carry only 2 people (Lashline included). Stronger than Todd’s mini-L.A.W.s but not by much.

Recruited by Prof. Cloward to replace Ticket after he wound up in the hospital. Prof. Cloward was ready to scrap the whole L.A.W. line of products and go back to the drawing board… until Todd woke up with a better design!
Feeling guilty for trying to replace Todd, Prof. Cloward never told him that he was going to replace him… until The Claw met Lashline in battle!

Sable Blade
Real name: Blair Yamasaki
Affiliation: The Claw and Intellect Defense Temperament: Patient, strong, good natured, willing to help, cautious, direct Weapons/Equipment: His equipment came from Lyonell’s Laboratories. Phase-blades only hurt living tissue so they would not hurt undead monsters. The frequency harmonies in the phase-blades repel each other like the opposite polar ends on a magnet. As such, 2 phase blades will NOT pass through each other! (Perfect for sword duals!) FLOATING: Sable Blade is dressed in an anti-gravity harness that subdues the laws of gravity and physics, allowing him to create all types of aerial acrobatic tricks – even hang in midair. The anti-gravity harness supports his injured back and allows him to do martial arts. Without his harness on he is incapable of martial arts feats. With it – he is the best! BLADE SWORD: The phase-sword is an energy blade that passes through solid matter – but disrupts the energy sequence between nerves – stunning an opponent where it touches them! Also works on machinery. ENERGY CROSSBOW: The gauntlet-crossbow is an energy-compound device that builds, stores, and launches a fistful of destructive energy from a virtual reality, energy-compression gauntlet system. One gauntlet stores the firing energy – the other draws and releases it. The further the draw the more powerful the blast. (The system does not contain a crossbow ‘string’ – it is virtual.) Both gauntlets also allow super-blast punches if desired/necessary. Skills/Abilities: Lifetime, avid follower of martial arts. Holds black belts (some are double degree) in judo, tae kwon do, karate, shotokan, aikido, and fung fu. Preferred Strike: Two-fingered punch to the throat. Swift, simply, easy, powerful... and the opponent can't talk back. A Martial Arts instructor who injured his back during an ally fight. During a martial arts competition he defeated his opponent, who was a sore loser. Following the martial arts competition he and his classmates cornered him in an ally and beat him almost to death. He doctor gave him the bad news: he would never be able to do martial arts again. |
Down-on-his-luck, he was walking home one day when he came across a strange site: an unmarked black van had overturned and a group of people were fighting in the street. Despite his back injury he joined to assist and was able to stop the attackers using only his cane and his arms.
However, when the fight was over the people he thought he was defending also ran away from him, leaving him with the van and its contents. What he found inside was technology hardware he’d never seen before. Fearing it would be stolen he took it home. After curiosity turned to experimenting he discovered that he could defy the laws of nature, gravity, and physics – allowing him to once again enjoy the benefits of martial arts like he’d never been able to enjoy before! He planned to return the items to the scene of the crime but a series of adventures kept him from returning them immediately. By the time he returned to the scene the van was gone – along with any clue of who to return the items to. Now armed with his phase-blade and gauntlet-crossbow he guards the night street’s dark ally’s-putting an end to any other attackers. He currently teaches a martial arts hand-to-hand course at Fleetwood University. |
The Conjurer
Real name: UNKNOWN
Affiliation: Independent villian Temperament: Insane! Mentally unstable, fits of anger, flights of fancy, easily distracted... but still dangerously brilliant. Weapons/Equipment: He created a pair of gauntlets that break objects down to their basic molecule and atom sub particles. He is then able to store them in a computer system as energy on his belt and use them to re-create new items. With this technology he is able to create objects from thin air – including weapons and shields! Skills/Abilities: Intelligent in a variety of science fields, including, but not limited to: biology (including micro), chemistry, geology, zoology, and paleontology. A lot of 'ologies.' Preferred Strike: Make you vanish... then delete your file. His insanity and creativity are his primary weapons! The Conjurer was first discovered by Sable Blade in his first adventure. The Conjurer is an insane, but brilliant scientist who believed in the breaking down and recreation of molecules. He believed that solid matter could be disassembled down to their simplest form, as energy, and stored in a computer database. He further believed that he could also reverse the process using varied combined molecules to create new objects. He was mocked, ridiculed, and abandoned for his claims. Using stolen funds he sought for a way to make his claims become a reality. He succeeded but fortunately Sable Blade caught him before he could put his claims to use. |
