Smile of Innocents

1] So the basic setup is that there’s a sort of League of Evil made up of various villains and villain wannabes, many of whom have set their sights on the peaceful town of Dreamville…initially because of a certain Hero that used to annoy them, and now because of a new issue that I’ll get into later. Anyway, ever since Hyness entered the League with his (highly-effective) trio of terrors, some of the previous big names have been feeling a little bitter and jealous, and spending more time trying to kill the girls than they spend on their “job”. ^^; Yes, this AU is 99% just villain infighting.

1a] Space Fool: A demonic entity from an unknown world, with powerful magic abilities…which he rarely uses to their full extent, since he’s so cheerful and carefree. He simply enjoys chaos wherever he finds it, which is why he hangs around the League.

1b] Gear Master: A mage-scientist and inventor, specializing in overcomplicated instruments of death and destruction. Hates the Jamba-Puff Girls with every fiber of his being…and not without reason, since they enjoy tormenting him on a regular basis. As villains go, Gear Master is legitimately dangerous, but lacks control over his emotions, often leading him to sabotage his own plans. Fortunately, he’s as determined as he is wrathful, and never gives up.

1c] Spider King: An alien ruler from the ruined world of Floralia, now residing on Earth. Spends a lot of time moping about his dead wife…if not for his ability to manifest bugs in people’s skin, most would consider him inconsequential.

2] The Haltmann Works Co. used to be part of the League, but something changed after Old Man Haltmann died…one day it was business as usual, the next day the Hero was gone and the HWC had taken their place as the protector of Dreamville…namely, with the invention of the Robobot, a giant spherical mecha that seems to be indestructible.

2a] Susie Haltmann: The current president of the HWC, who inherited the company after her father’s death. Under her direction, they conquered Dreamville and took over its government, simply by selling their convenient services at every turn. Afterwards, they began their forays into cyborg experimentation, using their new citizens as test subjects. Susie is sharp and cunning, despite her pleasant demeanor. She believes it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the League bows to the might of the HWC.

2b] Mecha Knight: Susie’s cyborg assistant and husband. It’s unknown whether the cyborg thing was part of the marriage agreement, or a ‘complication’ that arose afterwards…he himself doesn’t seem to remember. Although he appears to be just a mindless servant, Mecha Knight still has his own personality and intelligence, as well as his skills as a warrior (which he passes on to his children). He’s observant and thoughtful, and gives advice to enemies and allies alike.

3] The trio of terrors, the Jamba-Puff Girls~. Once orphaned children, they were adopted and turned into the superhumans everyone knows and fears today, through years of scientific and magical experimentation…which is still ongoing. When they aren’t testing their abilities or fighting with the Robobot, they spend their free time “playing” with the other League members, or otherwise trying to impress their father.

3a] Flamberge: The excitable sister, wielding the power of fire. Flamberge loves to “play”, and approaches everything with enthusiasm and vigor– she’s very much the ‘punch first and ask questions later’ type.

3b] Francisca: The cool sister, wielding the power of ice. Francisca is clever and calculating, and usually the first to figure out what their fellow villains are planning. To those who don’t know her, she appears sweet and innocent…but watch out.

3c] Zan Partizanne: The ruthless sister, wielding the power of electricity. Zan is demanding, uncompromising, and quick to retaliate against anyone who stands in her way, especially when Hyness is involved. Despite her efforts to embody the role of ‘the leader’, she still has a childish side, particularly when she mocks her enemies and invents crude nicknames for them. Her fondest wish is to  destroy the ‘overgrown cue-ball’ once and for all, and make her dad proud.

4] The Squeak Squad is just an ordinary gang of thieves operating in Dreamville…more or less. As criminals, they are automatically enemies of the HWC, but they’re not affiliated with the League of Evil either (except for Doc, a former member), and often play both sides against each other to get what they want.

4a] Daroach: The leader of the gang. Daroach is shrewd and cunning; a master of sleight-of-hand and an expert at lying his way out of trouble. Somehow he always seems to end up with some kind of small victory, even when he’s been beaten.

4b] Doc: A brilliant engineer, whose inventions help the gang stand a chance against their superpowered enemies. He’s surprisingly good at winning people over, simply by being a kindly old man…allowing the rest of the team to strike while he’s busy chatting away.

4c] Spinni: The gang’s fast-talking fighter, who usually takes the lead when it comes to physical combat. He’s very fond of shiny things, and easily distracted by jewelry or precious metals…sometimes to his detriment. Also, he may or may not be jealous of Daroach, nearly always to his detriment.

4d] Storo: Doc’s grandson, a quiet boy who likes to help others. He’s often torn between his loyalty to the gang and his urge to rescue an innocent bystander. Or a lost pet. Or a needy-looking plant…

5] Besides the Robobot, Dreamville has two other protectors– Susie Haltmann’s “son” and “daughter”, a pair of cloned organisms from the HWC’s alien research division. Any task too delicate for the Robobot is usually assigned to them. Whether they want to do it or not.

5a] Queen Bee: A clone of a Floralian– specifically, the Spider King’s deceased wife. Of course, this version of her has no memory of him, and finds him (along with the rest of the League) fairly stupid and pathetic. Bee loves her family and would do anything for them, despite her constant complaining. She’s usually either training with her father, rescuing her brother, or bothering her mother for more shopping money.

5b] Blade: A clone of a Dark Matter specimen, an alien species that no one really knows much about. They seem to have very little self-preservation instinct, if Blade is to be taken as an example– despite his supernatural swords-mage skills, he usually has to be told to fight before he bothers to try. And even then, he rarely remembers to keep a weapon on hand (fortunately, Bee always carries two). Like Bee, Blade loves his family and is generally happy just to be included. And when he’s actually paying attention, he can be surprisingly intelligent and articulate.

6] In the midst of all the chaos, the Dreamville News crew tries their best to keep the public informed: even if it means getting caught in explosions and trapped under falling debris, they’ll always be there. God help them if they say anything unflattering about the HWC on the air, though. (I just felt like showing the Channel PPP Waddle Dees a little love. ^^; No one really seems to care about them, but I think they’re a delight, and they fit right into this AU~.)
