like the breakdown of the system)

STR	STRENGTH (raw physical power)

MUTANT HUNTERS DIVISION Name: Serpent (real name unknown) Aliases:West Michaels STR high; Max lift about 1000lbs DEX avg; degrades at 15�C, paralysis at 0�C CON high; especially against electricity BOD high INT avg EGO avg PRE above avg; white skin, long coils, stone face = intimidator! COM below avg; white skin, long coils, stone face = NOT GQ coverboy... Powers/Skills: Disadvantages: Background/Personality: MHD service: 1979-1996 He was discovered in a refugee camp (codenamed West Sector) by Col. Igor Yevgeny using information from the SIA about his parent's mutant heritage (they died in a camp for political dissidents). He was only 9 at the time and never knew his parents. Col. Yevgeny named him after the camp and his own middle name, Michael. They [MHD/SIA] utilized his power to hunt down other mutants to study and recruit into the newly formed MHD or Mutant Hunters Division. The goal of the MHD was to study mutants and recruit them or isolate them into a controlled environment. They tracked down mutants using the information network of the SIA and West for pinpoint accuracy. Eventually, West would discover four male quadruplets, who could do the same as West but on a larger scale. The MHD established the Mutant Detection Grid, and they expanded their recruitment into Europe and the rest of Asia. Dr. Gregor Karsky, an innovative scientist, proposed to upgrade West's body after an incident when a mutant (nicknamed Coffin) killed several MHD soldiers. West's body was enhanced with the nu-Osmium coils/skeletal lacing and enhanced musclature. In 1991, after the operation and several months of training he adopted the codename "Serpent". He left the MHD with Flaros when it was revealed they were being shutdown for lack of funding. However, they made a stop at Karsky's lab to grab the formula for the inhibitor and figured out a way to leave Russia for the United States (where they would have a chance to live in peace) Identifying Quote: "Bah, I am not a hound! I AM THE SERPENT!!!" Powers/Tactics: Serpent prefers to use his brute strength and coils to keep his enemy at medium range and immobilizing his target giving his teammates an opportunity for attack. He tends to hold point, as his mutant powers usually offer him advance warning of any surprises. Fiercely protective of Flaros, and sometimes gets him into trouble. Appearance: DoB: 1970, Russia Height: 5'9" Weight: 500lbs Eyes: black Hair: black Status: Currently in New Jersey with Flaros

Name: Flaros aka Lavinia Estonia Aliases:Esther Levins, Fire-Angel STR avg; Max lift 160lbs DEX high; seasoned gymnast level CON avg BOD avg INT high EGO high PRE avg - its hard for people to take her seriously when all they see is T&A COM high - based on Lisa Matthews (here's a pic) Powers/Skills: Disadvantages: Background/Personality: MHD Service: 1984-1996 She ran away from home to escape her father's abuse when she was 10. Her mother abandoned the family when Lavinia was only 9. Her powers manifested during an attack by her father, in which she badly burned his face. She lived in a church until she was discovered by Serpent. She bonded to him and together they grew very close in MHD. She attended Oxford (part of a program to train deep-cover operatives for Western missions). The project was cancelled and eventually MHD was also pulled due to lack of funding. She assisted Serpent in retrieving the formula for his inhibitors and escaped with him to the US. Prefers to show a smile, that belies her true thoughts. Can become moody, especially when affronted by overbearing males (they remind her of father). She is also protective of Serpent and Silver, her best friend in the MHD. Identifying Quote: Angels don't breathe fire... demons do! Powers/Tactics: Tends to go for strafing and hit-run attacks rather than stand and fight, choosing to use her speed and agility to keep her enemies off balance. Appearance: DoB: 1974, Austria Height: 5'10" (35-25-35) Weight: 120 Eyes: blue Hair: blonde Note: currently in New Jersey wirh Serpent

For some reason he could now see or predict where apparent fallibilities or weaknesses were. He used it to great advantage as a boxer, but preferred to keep his 'perfect' face intact and so drifted between different jobs. His youth was almost wasted until his father forced him to enlist, believing that would instill discipline into his lazy hide. It worked. Rudolph emerged a cold, polished, killing machine. He didn't even need a gun - just his thumb! A fact that he demonstrated in a bar fight against a civilian. He was arrested and that was when he met Serpent. Rudolph agreed to join the MHD and planned to become a field commander like Pitch but General Yevgeny didn't trust him so Rudolph grew more and more frustrated and when Flaros spurned his advances, he fixated his hatred on Serpent. The two mutants did settle their score, with Flaros burning Skorpion's ass and having him thrown in the brig. Skorpion was placed in stasis when MHD was shutdown but General Tchavesky, using the Hawker process, brainwashed the warrior and made him a willing pawn of the 'Sons of Stalin'. He still retains his memories of the past, but the mind control supresses his independent thought. Identifying Quote: If I touched your ugly face, you'd be in heaven and hell... Powers/Tactics: A silent and deadly adversary, he opts to use his talents of isolating vulnerabilities in what he sees from long range then moving in close for the finisher. Works alone or as forward scout if in a group. Appearance: DoB: 1970, Hungary Height: 6' Weight: 210 Eyes: Blue Hair: Brown Note: Currently a mindless killer of the SOS

Identifying Quote: Come closer, I want to give you a kiss! Powers/Tactics: Headstrong and very brave, attacks from the frontlines and is a 'tooth & claw' person. After a quick fix from a victim, she's ready for anything! Appearance: DoB: 1971, North Korea Height: 5'7" Weight: 140 Eyes: Black Hair: Black Note: Currently a mindless killer of the SOS

When MHD was closed, she left in the confusion and returned to China and flew to North America(British Columbia) to allude pursuit. Identifying Quote: Listen to your inner voice; it knows better. Powers/Tactics: Rarely engages in direct combat as she is too weak and wouldn't last long against a lot of abuse, but she can wreak a lot of havok from the back ranks. Appearance: DoB: 1971, China Height: 5'7" Weight: 110 Eyes: Black Hair: Black with a silver streak on the front Note: currently MIA; whereabouts unknown

Before the MHD she was just another orphan in war torn Serbia. Identifying Quote: I will show you why I am to be feared! Powers/Tactics: A balanced combatant, she will use both close and far range attacks to confuse and bewilder her opponent plus her sonics tend to make communication difficult.

However, years of psychological abuse multiplied by her addiction to painkillers could not be erased overnight and she snapped on a routine excursion. Her breakdown was a result of being exposed to some chemicals that reacted with the drugs already in her system in fog form. Massacre, felt pity for his comrade, killed her. Identifying Quote: - Powers/Tactics: In her fog form, she is invulnerable to most physical attacks and is best for the surprise by confusing or blinding the enemy and penetrating barriers that humans normally cannot.

He changed his mind when he met Pitch, whom he developed a crush on. His powers made him virtually invulnerable. It was put to the test when his body contained a nuclear detonation by absorbing and nullifying the explosion and contained the radiation. He died during the process of ultimate nullification. Identifying Quote: I CAN TAKE IT! Powers/Tactics: Wields conventional weapons for combat, but will get into it if energy attacks are prevalent since his body can cancel out heavy energy levels.

Identifying Quote: ... Powers/Tactics: They operated the MDG, coordinating with field commanders. Otherwise, they never engage in direct combat, though their psionic potential is quite potent when all four are together.

He was first seen causing trouble by raiding small villages in the mountains near the Urals. He was captured when he fell asleep, but that was because he was tired of killing and pillaging. At the time he was interred in a prison near Soblinsk, no one really knew who he was or what he was capable of. When MHD arrived, he wanted to leave and began tearing through the prison. Most of the soldiers in the MHD team were killed and a young West Michaels was wounded. However, Coffin spared the boy and casually left. The MHD tried to locate him but failed.

NOTE ON COSTUMES:
The material for all of the suits (except Flaros) is a composite of nylon, Kevlar, and plastic. All team members were assigned the standard form-fitting dark body suits, more comfortable multi-environment shock suit aka MESS (with optional color modifications for different environments - urban, aquatic, mountain, arctic, woodland, jungle, and desert). More akin to body armor. Finally they get fatigues for practice and drills. The fatigues are the standard Russian Army issue.

All members are also equipped with utility belts or side packs for ordanance and gear, with multi-way trans-receivers fitted on their necks or hands. A mask or helmet for the face completes the ensemble (secrecy is important). Another thing to notice is that none of the suits bear any special emblems or insignias.

Serpent - is equipped with chemical heaters in the lining to maintain a constant temperature. Duration is approximately 6 hours of heating up to 90�F and the suit's insulation traps the heat for almost 16 hours.

Flaros - her body suit and MESS are composed of HEAT (High Energy Aggregate Technology) material that is highly resistant to burning or incineration. Here is an example of what her modified body suit looks like (normally her gloves and boots would be black but she changed them when she arrived in America).

Fog - her body suit covers her ENTIRE body and contains chromatic cells that allow her to manually shift between white, gray, and black. This is reflected in the color of the fog.

Pitch - because she cannot hear when uses her powers, she has a teletype display module fitted as a pair of goggles. Instead of hearing information, she can read it on the Heads-Up Display (HUD). To send data, she speaks into a microphone (automatic "mute" if her voice extends into the painful range of frequencies for humans).
