Refuseniks in combat with them they can even ask
them directly.

The Provider had been feeling depressed and

heartbroken since his break up with Holly Cooks.
Although he could have Holly fall love him using
Mind Control, he was too intelligent to allow himself
to believe the lie. It just made him want Holly to
legitimately love him even more. The Provider had
even idly suggested the possibility of giving up his
life of crime in order to try and win Holly’s heart.
Doctor Phage disliked seeing this side of his
protégé and suggested instead that he occupy his
mind with a new criminal endeavor. The Provider
chose the Warranty Room as a target after
learning through his connections that the owner of
some Frank Frazetta paintings had stored them
there.

Doctor Phage built a portable Teleportation

Projector. They attacked the Warranty Room using
the Projector to remove the walls of the building
and break into the vault and send the loot back to
the island.

Although super-humanly brilliant Doctor Phage’s

expertise is biology, not physics. His Teleportation
Projector was not perfect. He theorized that his
device might create some sort change in
teleported organic matter due to quantum
connectivity, and that these changes might even
result in giving a person super powers- but he
wasn’t sure exactly what would happen. Not
completely understanding something is a rare
phenomenon for Dr. Phage. It spurred his
intellectual curiosity in a way that he deeply
enjoyed but rarely experienced. He decided to
test this quantum entanglement effect on Holly
Cooks. If she acquired super powers, it might
possibly have given her the chance to join the
Refuseniks and be reunited with the Provider. It also

freak, in which case, he was fairly certain the

the problem would still be solved.

While assisting his cousin Stephanie Stephenson on
a research expedition to tiny Meteor Island, Joseph
Shmolensky fell into a volcano. Due to his exposure
to mysterious Z-Rays brought to Earth by a fallen
meteor, Joe wasn’t killed. His body was covered in
lava which hardened to a broiling hot rocky crust
which gave him with a covering of nearly
impregnable armor, super strength and a flaming
hot body. For years, Joe worked for the US
Geological Service’s Department Q, investigating
strange subterranean threats and other
underground phenomenon. Because of the
Recession and government cutbacks in the
Geological Service, Joe was laid off several years
ago. Since becoming unemployed he has been
making a go of it as a superhero in New York City,
where people tend not to stare as much when he
walks down the street.

Joe doesn’t normally worry about rolling with

damage, preferring to “look cool” when getting
attacked and letting his armor take the brunt of
the hit. He likes to pick up large objects, like cars,
crunch them up into a flaming ball and toss them
at opponents.

Joe is a bit of a hothead and prematurely

something of a curmudgeon, but his heart is in the
right place. He will generally do the right thing
when it is presented to him. He is frustrated by his
stony body, but does not wallow in self-pity. In fact,
he tends to think of himself as little as possible.
Those lucky enough to befriend him soon learn he
is a loyal and devoted friend.

The name Vitaly Svyatopolk is a Russian alias, but
his mother and father were Uzbeks. His real name is
unknown. His Mother and Father were considered
to be Refuseniks by the Soviets. He grew up bitter
and turned to a life of crime. He has spent many
years in prison, where he acquired his nickname
‘Provider’. He was the person behind bars who
could get you anything. His parents used to tell him
he has his abilities because he is a descendant of
Rasputin. Who can say if such an outrageous claim
is really true? He believes it.

The Provider likes to taunt his opponents, daring

them to meet his gaze and then slowly draining
them of energy. He would rather control someone
and make them his ally than to kill them with his
Death Touch. But he is no stranger to murder.

If you remove good and evil from the equation,

the Provider can be a very charming person.
People who meet him often immediately come
away feeling like he is their best friend. In simple
conversation, he comes across as gregarious, even
generous. But his friendship usually comes with a
high price. He is a lover of fantasy art and has
multiple examples of it tattooed all over his arms
back and chest. He truly loves Holly Cooks and is
heartbroken to discover her new incarnation. He
cries real tears upon realizing that the Holly he
loved is gone.

“Why do we call ourselves the Refuseniks? It is

because we refuse to obey the law!”

“You cannot win in a contest of wills against me. I

will leave you broken.”

“America is the ultimate outlaw frontier of all

human history.”

“Frazetta’s art expressed the ultimate masculine

ideal. It spoke the truth. Because of this it is totally
politically incorrect, and that is what makes him
the single greatest artist of the 20th century!”

“Serve me, and I will facilitate all of your dreams. I

am the Provider of everything you desire.”

Doctor Phage is such an insidiously pure sociopath

that evil people almost cannot help but respond to
him with admiration and respect. Normal descent
people, of course, find him completely disgusting.

One might think that Dr. Phage would be the

leader of the Refuseniks due to his superior
intelligence and charisma. In truth, he is so
divorced from human affairs that he has very little
interest in the job. He is The Provider’s second in
command, and finds it amusing to be something of
a mentor to him. Due to his brilliance and
detachment, his other motivations and plans are
unknowable.

Whenever the threat of capture is greatest in either

If fighting on land, Marauder Undine tries to lure her

opponents to the water’s edge, and then attempts
to physically tackle them and drag them in the
water. There she has the advantage. In the water,
she will use her strength and superior underwater
speed to drag opponents down as far underwater
as she can, and simply keep them there until they
drown. (While underwater, players will be able to
hold their breath and put up a fight for a maximum

stab her opponents if they show any sign that they
are capable of struggling free.

When cornered she will fight with her knife. She

always tries to prevent her opponents from
blocking her access to the water.

Marauder Undine is primarily driven by two

emotions: greed and boredom. She covets
treasure, wealth and riches, and treats the
acquisition of these things to be like a sport –

portrait
College student Jerri Vasser was the unintended
recipient of supernatural powers after accidentally
interrupting an occult ceremony, while studying
brainwashed members of obscure religious sects.
She gained the power to become ghost-like, total
mastery over sound and the ability to detect the
weak spots and vulnerabilities in objects and
people. Since acquiring her powers she has been
increasingly drawn into a life of crime, but she does
not consider herself to be evil.

Whisperer primarily uses her powers to commit

crimes. She enters a location by becoming non-
corporeal, uses her control of sound to silence any
alarms, determines the weaknesses in any
protection or security systems and steals whatever
she wants. She deliberately avoids direct
confrontations, preferring to quietly slip away. She
tends to use her sonic powers to create zones of
silence, much as darkness control will create areas
of darkness.

Whisperer considers herself a thief with honor. She

will fight in self-defense but she very much dislikes
the idea of hurting anyone, and will not commit
murder. A recent chance meeting with Marauder
Undine and a series of successful jobs together
brought her into the company of the Refuseniks.
However she is already starting to regret becoming
involved with them. They are hardcore criminals for
whom murder is routine, and although she would
never openly admit it (out of fear of retaliation) she
wants nothing more to do with them.

“The perfect crime involves getting what you want

and getting away without anyone ever knowing
you were there.”

“We’re powerful enough that we don’t have to

hurt anyone unless it’s by choice, and that’s not
my choice.”

“I measure success in dollars, not in body count.”

“Unfortunately, if the other person is pig-headed

enough, some fights can’t be avoided.”

park, fighting their way through an army of a

numerous police and superheroes were wounded

Hopelessly insane, Pammy Joan Vrooman was

committed to a psychiatric hospital. Ten years
later, she escaped. Tracked by a team of brilliant
detectives, Pammy was on the verge of being
recaptured, when the Provider intervened and
saved her from them. He had sought her out after
watching all twenty-six entries in the series of horror
movies based on her father’s exploits, thinking he
might one day have use for her gadget-building
talents. The Provider recruited Moppet into the
Refuseniks, although she comes and goes and is
not a permanent, regular member.

Moppet does not directly engage in combat,

letting her toys do the fighting for her. She has a
nearly endless supply of killer toys that she hides all
over any place she inhabits for more than a few
minutes. While quite capable of dealing with
normal humans herself, she will call upon large
numbers of her toys to overwhelm super-powered
enemies. Moppet is always curious to see how her
victims may fall before her toys, so she never
removes herself very far from the action.

Although she usually projects a child-like

personality, Moppet is no innocent. She has an
intensely cruel sense of humor and a ferociously
clever brain.
