Where's the thrill in committing the perfect crime if nobody knows it was you?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the game; you are The Penguin
REAL NAME:: Oswald Cobblepot
ALIGNMENT: Scum
GENERIC: Special
WIN CONDITION: Scum control the voting and all malicious third parties (PFK) are neutralized
BACKGROUND:
You are terribly misunderstood.
You very much resent the terms that the media likes to throw around nowadays, things like like "supervillain" and "sociopath" and "criminal mastermind." You're a businessman, just an ordinary Oswald trying to make his way in a hard cold world. And isn't that what this marvelous country is all about? Business? The rewards of hard work? And money? Mostly money?
Now, it stands to reason not everybody gets to be at the head of the food chain. Somebody's gonna win, then somebody's gotta lose, and it's too bad, someday you'll write a song about it, but in the meantime, you know which one you'd prefer. So if folks can't keep up, and they fall by the wayside... or get thrown there, whichever... that's their problem and not yours. And if your methods fall outside what "society" deems to be "acceptable;" well, let 'em find a way to make you stop.
When the Big Bat shuttered the old crime-busting shop following the events at Arkham, the doors opened for you in a major way. Suddenly there were no earnest do-gooders busting up your rackets, beating up your carefully recruited henchmen, or re-dehydrating your rehydrating dehydrated pirates. Cash began to flow. Now the Bat is back - or someone who looks a lot like him - and the not-so-good old days threaten to return. Nothing for it but to rejoin the flock and drive away the interlopers once again.
Unless...
Is that the sound of an opportunity knocking? Your business has grown, yes, but the uncivilized horde that has taken over Gotham is beginning to bug you a bit. All the burning and breaking and killing, all the extra fingers reaching for pies that ought to be yours, all the outright psychos spraying laughing gas and detonating bombs... are these not affecting your bottom line as much as the Bat ever did?
You've always been one to zig when others zag, and now is no different. You've developed a radical idea: go straight. Go legit.
Heck, you can even join the Batman 2.0! Use your contacts to ferret out those players whose loyalties are not yet certain, and bring them to the side of the Bat. Help wipe out your competition, and flourish in their absence. There's always room to head back to the dark side when the dust settles.
Heck, maybe "criminal mastermind" isn't so bad after all.
POWERS:
You may execute the Scum Night kill if you are chosen to do so. If you execute the Scum Night kill, you may not use your primary power, described below, on the subsequent Day.
Once per Day, you may target a player of your choice. If this player is a recruitable third party, (s)he will be offered a chance to join the Scum. If (s)he accepts, you will be informed of this development.
If your target does not accept the chance to join the Scum, or is not a recruitable third party, you will receive no response to your inquiry (so there will be no difference from your perspective between the case where you target a player who is not an recruitable third party and the case where you do target a recruitable third party but (s)he does not agree to join the Scum).
If your target refuses or is not eligible to accept your offer, (s)he will not be informed of your identity. If your target accepts the offer, (s)he will be given access to the Scum boards and be able to participate in all Scum discussions (but will not be permitted to execute the Scum Night kill).
You may recruit a maximum of one player to join the Scum. Once you have successfully recruited, you will become effectively a Goon, able to execute the Scum Night kill if chosen to do so but with no other powers or abilities.
