    Pazuzu
    The villain known as Pazuzu has found that flight and being stronger than normal has helped him to get his foothold in the criminal underworld. He is sort of a mid tier villain. He can fly at speeds about 200 mph. He has when he needed once to get away threw a bus full of people. Those heroes are so gullible all it takes is put some shlub in harms way and off they run to help. Pazuzu has made a mask that looks like a rotting bird skull. In it are a few things like telescopic sights, sound dampening and a few other things.
    He got his wings as a deal he made with a supernatural force. Also as he grows in power more abilities will manifest. Soon he will be able to control flocks of birds. When new powers manifest he seems to look more and more like a giant bird with arms.
    Mannerisms- He is a bully. He pushes people around like they are obstacles in his way to greatness. Belittling and downplaying the help of others also help to push him in making himself feel more important. If someone is to point out shortcomings he flies into a rage.
    Short History- The man that became Pazuzu had been a low level thug robbing and mugging people. He had pushed up to armed robbery of businesses. One night he was robbing an occult shop thinking he could sell the junk as magickal goods. He got into the safe and there was a bit of money and a couple other things, one was a book that unbenounced to him when he tried to read it aloud called forth a demon. Who asked just one question, “What do you want?” He answered I want to be feared in this town. The creature summoned obliged.

    Damien Forsith
    Damien is almost finished with his residence before he becomes a full fledged doctor. The hospital where he works has been very good for him he has been in the ER the whole time. While there he has learned a lot about massive trauma for the inner city warfare. This is not what he had wanted to do, he had wanted to be a surgeon you know the rock stars of hospitals. Something on his first night changed that though.
    Now a year later he has had something else happen to further change his goal. Something happened to a patient and she died, he was blamed for it even thou he was not the attending doctor. Also she had come in for something that could not have killed her. As he was outside waiting on the administration to talk with him something landed in the alleyway. Looking he saw the arm that was bent funny. He ran to help and that was when he saw the mask of the vigilante. As he bent  down over the masked person, he weakly said “Help me,” and passed out.
    Mannerisms- Damien is all but a doctor and has a very strong help those around him streak. While he won’t jump in and fight he will help patch up those that will. Helping the guys fighting the good fight makes him feel better. Also the pay is pretty good.
    Short history- After that first night of helping that one guy he left the hospital and lost his right to call himself a doctor. With the death he was wrongly accused of being the final nail in the coffin. He keeps up on all the research so he can help the guys and girls that are out there fighting for the little people.

    Savion Darvic
    Savion is at first glance a normal dwarf. A closer look starts to reveal his eccentricities. His clothing is starting to fall apart at the seams. His hair is not groomed. His weapon a spear is not sharp and the wood for the haft is showing signs of warping. What do these signs point to?
    He has started to lose his connection to this world. Is it because of drugs or is it due to some horror he has witnessed? That is something that only interaction with this poor soul can determine.
    Mannerisms: He is distracted and mumbles replies. Will never raise his voice above a whisper. Savi has let himself go since he is certain that at some point soon none of this will matter.
    Short history: Savion is the only survivor of an expedition that was going deeper under the city than any before them. After weeks he appeared on the edge of town wandering and mumbling to himself. The reason he can only whisper is he had screamed at or about what happened to them for so long his voice was damaged.

    Craig Stevenson
    Craig is an explorer, but not of the places most ever want to go. He and his sister go out and stay out there for longer than most people are capable of. Something about an advantageous mutation. The can process the nuclear radiation that kills others. But with a positive mutation comes that pesky negative one. Craig has a hard time breathing non-irradiated air.
    Craig is nothing if not a professional until his family is concerned. His family is the one place he will loss his cool and collected persona. He lost a family member when he was young and now takes your safety as his driving force.
    Mannerisms= Craig is normal for a waste walker. He doesn’t trust most people unless they are from his clan. He also has to keep a small piece of radioactive material in his scarf that he always has wrapped about his lower face.
    Short History: At a very young age Craig and his sister were found to have the ability to withstand radiation. So they started scavenging from the old world so people could start to rebuild. They were trained to fight and read.  Which is a skill not many people have anymore. While his sister does help him he watches over her like a hawk. Losing your twin can have that impact on you in the wastelands.

    Zeke Duncan
    Zeke is a gutterpunk on the streets of New Orleans. He makes his way about the city at night. No one has seen him before nightfall. Now most people never give him another glance since he looks like any of the other gutterpunks that hang out on the streets. The fact that he is a vampire is a well guarded secret.
    He has not been a vampire for very long. Only about a year, which has been educational. He has been slowly doing things to improve his station among the vampires in the city. At some point he might even make it off the streets.
    Mannerisms: Zeke is a guy that will do things others would never do to get ahead. He is also looking for other young vampires to hang out with so he might learn more about the other vampires that have been there for a long time.
    Short History: He ran away from home at a young age. He learned to find food and shelter. One night while panhandling he made the mistake of trying to get an old vampire to give him money. Zeke later followed the guy to his house and broke in figuring he could steal some things for cash. The vampire at this point had enough of this young punk and gave him a choice become a vampire or die at his hands. Zeke is no fool he made his choice.
