Characters have 3 Statistics:

Aggression Co-Ordination and spatial awareness.

Grit: Brute force and resilience.

Will: Strength of mind and determination.

Proficiencies
Specialist Areas in which the Character excels.

This base is expanded upon by the selection of Templates which shall be described next…

[WBH] Morality- The League of Extrodinary Outcasts

LEO Logo

Whether they are victims of society or mental illness there are many Superladies who just cannot play fair. Through giant corporations, underground smuggling rings or even with nothing but their powers and their stupid costume Villainesses strike terror into Civilian and Superlady alike.

Just as with heroes the foremost of these is the very first. Texi Tarquin was the first to don a costume to fight Kittiwake Girl, the unwanted subject of a delusional love-hate infatuation and fascination of the notoriously predatory madam.

Once the truce of the Second World War was over she formed a counterpart to her rival’s SPO in the League of Extraordinary Outcasts.

The League is even more loosely structured than it’s heroic counterpart and it’s actions are, for the most part chaotic and unplanned. Texi’s position however remains unquestioned. Despite being little more than a human with a stack of awesome gadgets she keeps her stilettos firmly on the faces of her closest rivals. Even the notoriously devious Feathers McGee and the insanity of the Black Toon are kept in check by Texi’s mere glance in their direction.

LEO Superteams are very well supplied whether through legitimate means like TexiInc or criminal empires like the Feathers mob. They can field the best in equipment and weapons though often relying on the under-classes for minion support bites them in their pert arses!

[WBH] Morality- The Society to Preserve Order (SPO)

SPO Logo

Kittiwake Girl’s Personal “in crowd” of goody two-shoes heroines the Society to Preserve Order was founded after World War II to attempt to organise and regulate these spandex wearing vigilantes and war heroines into something more manageable and controllable.

It’s somewhat natural for an Archasian to come off as a bit of a control freak no matter how well intentioned she may be however Kittiwake Girl is pretty hands off when it comes to leadership.

She has one rule: No Killing. As mentioned before this rule is non-negotiable and is the source of the SPO’s split with the IHL.

SPO Superteams have quite a considerable Weakness in not being able to use lethal force however they make up with it with a resolve that having the backing of the Best (Magnificent Magda, The Widow, Kittiwake Girl and many more) can bring.

[Comics] Plans

#1 Cover

I had a bit of time so I thought I’d give you lovely fans an update on where I am going with my comics.

Due to both budget restraints and my aim to keep stories concise each of 3 “big girls” of my comic book world will have a 3 issue origin story…

These are…

Kittiwake Girl: The Beginning: An alien child of incredible power is raised by a humble English Village before hitting the perilous big city as the world’s first Superlady.

Magnificent Magda: Genesis: An exhibit of a Nevada Freakshow finds out that she is in fact a half angel and is taught by a mysterious mentor how to balance the hidden world with the real one.

The Widow’s Vengeance: Widowed at the very moment she hears “I do” Kitty McAvoy sets off on a terrible vengeance spree that even the emerging community of Superheroines seem powerless to stop.

If these are a success I plan to go on to the War years with a crossover series entitled Peace in our Time as well as telling the story of the rise of the villainous Major Britannia.
Stay tuned for updates on Kittiwake Girl: The Beginning #1 and the Tabletop Wargame Whore’s Blade Heroics.

[Comics] Character Name/ Concept Change

Annie Havelock

Over the past few days in writing Whore’s Blade: Heroics and processing ideas for comics I’ve become less and less convinced of the Character of Bomber Bird. She was begining to look like the daughter of the Adam West Batman and the Brave and The Bold Harley Quinn (there’s a horrible slashfic idea.) This looks like a lot of fun on paper but I really need a stronger character for one of my big three heroic leads and as she was Bomber Bird stood out too damn much.

Thus I am reinventing Kitty McAvoy as a far darker character known as the Widow. Widowed at the very moment she became a married woman Kitty goes on a vengence fueled rampage that brings her into conflict with the more more clean cut heroine Kittiwake Girl.

If any artists fancy drawing her please get in touch. I shall of course keep you all posted on her development. The picture above is Annie Havelock and I’d imagine Kitty would go for something less cumbersome and more practical.

[WBH] Morality: The Idealistic Heroines’ League (IHL)

IHL Logo

The Idealistic Heroine’s League is the result of a Post War hissyfit of epic proportions from Kittiwake Girl. More than any other Superlday Kittiwake girl has been dedicated to non lethal force. The “KG rule,” as it has become known as, is essentially “heroines do not kill.”

The somewhat jaded and more practical Gray Areas called Kittiwake Girl out on this bullshit and promptly got kicked out of the SPO. Ever since she has been a figurehead for all those Heroines who, for whatever reason, don’t like playing by the rules even when they are relatively lax.

Known as antiheroines the IHL are feared by both of the other Morality Factions. The idea of taking no prisoners seems scary to everyday Superladies whatever end of the fully automatic firearm you’re on!

IHL Superteams are typically somewhat chaotic and bristling with semi legal Weapons. Much like their colourful leaders!
