Characters for Egg of Monsters

The Egg of Monsters

Icons

Oh, I threw up a story (an apt way of putting it, I suppose), but I didn't put up the character write-ups for Icons.

• Mr. Verity Already written up; follow the link.
• Dr. Tavor
• Nora Stern of the CDC
• Dracula
• Various feral dogs standing in for wolves, where I just used the Wolf characteristics from the Icons Assembled rulebook.
• The Egg of the Moors I handle as a plot device; it has a Supreme (10) Alteration Ray (Dimensional Travel to pocket dimension) and a fussy ritual.

Doctor Tavor, or Dr. Acula

Doctor Wilhelm Tavor is a parahuman with vampire-like powers, and who suffers from occasional breaks in reality where he believes that he is actually Dracula, Lord of the vampires.

Nora Stern, CDC

Nora was a field operative for the CDC, investigating outbreaks of vampires, werewolves, and zombies.

Unfortunately, during a recent case, she was bitten by Dracula and became his thrall. She managed to hide it, and acted as though the subsequent banishment of Dracula meant that she was cured.

She began plotting to reverse the banishment and bring back her lord and master. It was a long and bloody campaign in which she was almost entirely successful, except for the part where Mynah showed up.

Dracula

Don't get excited: this is the Super Villain Handbook version of Dracula cut down to represent extreme hunger and fatigue.

CDC (Supernatural Threats)

If you've done the math, you might realize that vampires are extremely contagious. Worst case, they double in numbers every mumble-mumble days. Even if it takes three bites and vampires only feed every week, that's doubling every month. It's the population of the earth in about three years.

Obviously, we're not hip-deep in undead, and part of that reason is the CDC. (And part of it is that these threats are not 100% contagious, though they're still bad.)

A small group in the CDC works with its counterparts in other nations to prevent certain kinds of contagions—vampires and werewolves primarily—and some memetic infections. They don't deal with cryptids or extraterrestrials; they wouldn't handle the invasion of the body snatchers...but they'd know who to call.
