Sooth. Most supervillains don't want to do permanent damage, most of the time. The ones who do, don't get invited to parties.

Yeah, that's his source material. Ng_moonmoth sent me a description of him, I just touched it up a bit using my own experience as guidance.

Not quite, but they sure do share the same archetype, don't they? I have another one in Terramagne, with some input from stardreamer, who's a clipper. 0_o

Wow.

Okay, what would all the name options be for each girl? They aren't named yet. I don't have a Rhoda in this setting.
