This thread is for information on people, events, and other long term plot-related things which the Mishap Mercenaries must address. For example, several story arcs have dealt with the struggle against Kavinsky and Thanatos. A file on Kavinsky belongs here, as well as another on Thanatos. Information on a personal item does NOT belong here, unless those items affect everyone.
Anyone may add to the library. In fact, if you have a villain, cool item, or what-have-you that might die or change, it would be easier to mark such changes if it were your own post.

This character is the creation of Requiem6661. Please do not permanently alter without permission.Igor Kavinsky (ee-gore Ka-vin-skee) age: 55 nationality: Russian status: active The leader of Kavinsky Enterprises, a multinational corporation that started as a defense contractor. After a touch with an ancient demon, he turned to more sinister things. His company now produces the most powerful weapons on Earth- magnetic accelerator guns (railguns), plasma and laser weapons, and even antimatter bombs (the most destructive weapon on earth- completely annihilates anything it touches with a force hundreds of times that of a thermonuclear weapon). They also delved into highly illegal bioengineering, creating powerful supersoldiers, and have now gone into portal development. They have multiple bases around the world, and a personal army that rivals the whole of Europe, drawing in troops from Russia, China and several Communist Asian countries. Kavinsky is the richest man in Russia, and the twenty-seventh richest man in the world. He has major power inside the Russian government, even having connections to Putin himself. He often abuses this power, changing government rulings to his liking, and making people who oppose him "disappear" into Siberia. Kavinsky suffers from schizophrenia, and as such is immensely paranoid. He is willing to blow up a base or use an antimatter bomb in a city to kill his enemies. He constantly surrounds himself with bodyguards. He also has little regard for anyone but himself, making his own son into a monster to defend him. He killed his own wife when she threatened to leave him. His contact with Thanatos has made him a very powerful man indeed. He will not be easy to defeat.

This character is the creation of Requiem6661. Please do not permanently alter without permission.Thanatos status: inactive (preoccupied with Valhalla) A demon who originated in the demon world, which sits in a nexus to all worlds. He has conquered thousands of worlds, destroying them after over-running them. He invaded Valhalla a year after Riku came to Earth. His power is immense, and he seems to have no limit to his minions, most of who are demons. He is made of Chaos, and as such only Emperium-made weapons can hurt him. However, as only one exists, there is little chance of defeating him currently, unless the Emperium Blade is found. Kafziel age: 160 race: Valhallan status: active A cleric of Thanatos and an advisor to Kavinsky. He looks down upon Kavinsky as a stupid man, but almost worships Yuri. He controls darkness, and can use very small amounts of Chaos. However, he generally lets demons fight for him. In his advanced age, he has gained much knowledge, but his devotion to Thanatos blinds him to the world around him. He seeks only to do his master's bidding. Demons & Clones Demons are spawned from the same world that Thanatos is from. They come in various forms, with varying abilities. Originally, only dark-based demons existed, but elemental demons are becoming more of a problem. Only the element opposite of theirs (example: only light hurts dark demons) can defeat them. Clones are simply copies of Riku and Yuri. They can use Chaos, though not as effectively as Riku and Yuri, and they are limited to special attacks. The Yuri clones are more powerful than the Riku clones.

Chaos The mysterious substance that makes up all subatomic particles, in matter, antimatter and everything else, even energy. It cannot be detected with Terran technology. Chaos can be manipulated by those who are attuned into it, changing one substance into another, converting matter into energy, and even destroying it altogether. Pure Chaos is unstable, and overexposure can kill a person. Overuse can kill even a high-level Chaosmonger. However, if one can truly master Chaos, there is little that cans top them- except those using Emeperium, of course. Chaos' symbol is an eight-pointed star, made up of arrows pointing in all directions.
Chaosmancy The art of controlling Chaos. Incredibly difficult to learn the basics, almost impossible to master. Few can learn it and use it safely.
Chaosmongers Beings who use Chaosmancy and control Chaos. They range from very low-level users, known as alchemists, to mid-level users like Riku, to high-level users like Yuri and masters like Thanatos. Chaosmongers cannot harm each other with Chaos, but can manipulate their enviroment around them to deal damage.
Emperium A strange, green crystal-like metal that's almost nonexistent. It can repel and destroy Chaos, but due to it's extreme rarity, it is rarely used. The only known weapon made of it is the Emperium Blade, which has been lost for many ages. No one knows where to find Emperium naturally, and it can be destroyed with extreme physical force. A strange property of Emperium is that it grows back over time. It's energy seems to be held back by light crystals.
Balmung The Emperium Blade, and the largest source of Emperium on the human Earth. It is a claymore-style blade, made of Emperium, with an adamantine grip, and an adamantine sheath with a light crystal lining inside.. To strengthen it, adamantine was interlaced into the crystals, making it strong, but not indestructible. Balmung has the power to destroy even the most powerful Chaotic being, such as Thanatos. However, no one knows exactly where it is. As it has possibly been used as a murder weapon, it is wanted by several police forces. Also, Kavinsky wants it to ensure that nothing will stand in Thanatos' way.
Apocrypha An ancient text, holding information about Chaos, Chaosmongers and Thanatos. No one knows exactly how old it is, or who wrote it. It was held in the MMHQ Library for many centuries, until it was found and analyzed. It was subsequently destroyed by Thanatos' forces.

These characters are the creations of Requiem6661. Please do not permanently alter without permission. Uroboros Kavinsky's elite bodyguard, similar to Hitler's Waffen SS, but far more dangerous. They were all enhanced using bioengineering, except for one, who is a Chaosmonger. They protect him at all times, while carrying out his bidding. Vasily Kavinsky age: 32 nationality: Russian codename: "Bear" status: active Kavinsky's own son, turned into a monster of sorts. He is known as the "Bear" due to his immense strength, and tendency to act much like a bear in combat. He's also roughly the size of one, with muscles that would make Arnold Schwarzenegger crap himself. The Bear uses his immense strength in combat to defeat his opponents. He can rip a tank open with his bare hands, jump hundreds of feet into the air and survive falls from high altitudes. He is impervious to anything smaller than a .50 caliber armor-piercing round, and even then, nothing short of a 20mm cannon can truly hurt him. His intelligence doesn't match his strength. He often talks in very simple phrases, and is quick to anger. He also has a tendency to ignore orders. However, he is fiercely loyal, and would never abandon his allies. It is believed Vasily is actually mentally retarded, but it is not confirmed. Whatever the case, his father looks down upon him as a stupid buffoon, who he only keeps around because he is useful to him. Joseph Yeffimovich age: 40 nationality: Romanian codename: "Dracula" status: active
Called Dracula because of his vampire-like powers, Joseph Yeffimovich is, in effect, the brains of the Uroboros. He is the opposite of Vasily- intelligent, calculating, and immensely cruel. They often do not get along. Joseph doesn't fight on his own, preferring to hypnotize others to fight for him. When he does fight, he uses his mind-bending abilities to cause hallucinations- he is sort of like the Scarecrow in the Batman comics, creating fear to distract his enemies while he moves in and kills them. He can also manipulate dead bodies, and does so often. He has a strong taste for women, often abducting, raping and then killing them. He also holds mental control over Zen Po and Zen Li. Tatiyana Putin age: 34 nationality: Russian/German codename: "Blitz" (german for "Lightning") status: inactive, due to injuries Born in East Germany during the Cold War, she was an orphan most of her life until Kavinsky took her in. She is sort of a daughter to him- he actually cares more for her than his own biological son, who is possibly retarded. Blitz's blood channels enough natural electricity to power Manhattan for two years. She fights by cutting herself, then flinging her blood at enemies, effectively "bloodrocuting" them. Even a small droplet can cause a shock like a Taser. This ability is also her weakness- if she fights too long, she'll bleed to death. As such, she is anemic, and must constantly receive transfusions. These must be done carefully, however, as she cannot turn her electric abilities off. Zen Po and Zen Li ages: 14 nationality: Chinese codenames: "Yin and Yang" status: deceased Twins from China, Po is a girl and Li is a boy. They are called Yin and Yang because Po controls dark, while Li controls light. They fight together, because their powers only work when they do so- if separated a far enough distance, they are powerless. All other information is unknown, except that they may be puppets under Joseph's control. Killed by Joseph, after losing in battle to Riku in Vatican City, in their attempt to obtain an Emperium crystal. Yumiko Higashino Yumiko Higashino age: 17 nationality: Japanese codename: "Zetsumei" (Japanese for "Death") status: active A girl born in the Kuril Islands, she learned swordsmanship at a young age. Her enhancement gave her incredible speed, allowing her to dodge bullets with ease. She wields an O-katana, longer than a regular katana but smaller than the massive nodachi blade. She carves her enemies to pieces with her speed, the blade being superheated by air friction. She has to carry water to cool the blade before sheathing it. Her parents were killed by Yakuza thugs when she was fourteen. She was saved by Yuri, who brought her to Kavinsky. She is the second youngest of the Uroboros, and as such, is not entirely sure if what she's doing is right or wrong. She is possibly in love with Yuri, who doesn't seem to lover her back. Also notable for her dress. She wears a kimono cut short at the top, and exposing her right leg. She wears thigh-length white stockings and traditional Japanese sandals. "Yuri" age: unkown nationality: unkown (Chaosmonger) codename: none status: active Real name unknown. Background unkown. All that is known about "Yuri" is that he is a Chaosmonger, and an immensely dangerous one at that. He controls Chaos on a level most Chaosmongers can never hope to achieve, able to cause total existence failure- erasing one from existence. He can also generate and control antimatter- this is how Kavinsky got his bombs, which are still hundreds of years ahead of the rest of the world. Yuri is possibly not a Terran human, but a human from another world. He is the leader of the Uroboros, and Kavinsky's most trusted bodyguard, being by his side at all times. He also performs the most dangerous missions. After seeing Riku, he has developed a strange obsession with him, as he is also a Chaosmonger. While Yumiko seems to have feelings for him, he doesn't return them.

This character is the creation of Sonny_F. Please do not permanently alter without permission.Darya Azhaar al-Hadithy age: 20-30 nationality: Egyptian alias: Dasha status: active whereabouts: unpredictable An assassin and thief operating out of North Africa and much of the Mediterranean, her parents immigrated from Egypt to Italy before she was born. Her mother died giving birth to her and so she only knew her in pictures. When she was 10, she and her father were eating at a restaraunt. She stayed behind to grab a few extra bites while her father went across the street to start the scooter before being accidentally hit and killed by a speeding motorist. In the wake of her father's death, she was sent to live with her aunt and older sisters. During this time Darya became increasingly aloof and refused to eat, believing in her mind that if she hadn't been eating when her father died she would have died along with him. This aloofness and depression over time became anorexia and violence. From the time she was 16 until she was 18 Darya fought what she deemed as the world's injustice, becoming a mentally unstable criminal and attacking restaraunts. Her sense of honor was effectively replaced by one of vengeance. Her violent robbery of the restaraunt she and her father were eating at got her noticed, after which she was abducted by her current employer, whose name is unknown. Now in her mid-20's, Darya is no longer recognizable by those who once knew and loved her. Though her two older sisters pray every day for her to come back home, she travels the Mediterranean every day in search of bloodlust. She calls herself "Dasha" now and seems to take a faint sense of joy only in accomplishing her murderous arts, nothing more.

Mishap Mercenaries Supporting Staff These are by no means the only tech support staff at Mishaps, but they are the ones in use. Borrow them as you like, but stay in character and no random deaths/disfigurements.
Ike )incomplete) [property of XinrieArath] Appearance: Ike has small feathered wings. Personality: Ike really hates it when people touch his wings. Function: Ike is the errand boy for Mishaps. Skills: Er. none mentioned.
Jen Appearance: Jen is a woman of average height (5'7") and above-average weight (upwards of 300 lbs). She has dark brown, curly, shoulder length hair. When in Mishaps HQ, she wears functional and sturdy jeans and a free company T-shirt. Around her expansive waist she keeps possibly half her weight in various tools. (Her legs must be very strong.) Buried among the wrenches and screwdrivers is a katana, although there are so many other metal objects there that few notice it. Personality: Good natured and dependable, Jen is, frankly, a geek. She will cheerfully talk about physics and science fiction movies, but she is uncomfortable with any subject which does not have a proven answer. She will try to divert such subjects with humor or literal interpretations of the question. She can be completely completely clueless around people sometimes, but this is not a sign of a lack of intelligence. She collects doctorates as a hobby. Function: Jen is the Mishaps primary portal technician. Success at this job requires over a dozen doctorates, and Jen does well at it. When the portal room does not need repairing, she amuses herself by fixing more mundane objects, such as coffee machines and computers. Abilities: Besides her vast array of technical knowledge, Jen is skilled with the katana. She insists that it is necessary for the times that the portal malfunctions.
Kin Appearance: Kin stands perhaps four feet high. She has spiky light blue hair, although she dyes it brown when she visits places where blue is not a natural hair color. Normally she wears blue clothes and an official black vest with 'MMHQ' written on the back in large white letters. Her vest is too large for her because Mishaps does not have an official vest in size zero. Kin paints gray tiger stripes on her face, allowing her to be practically invisible in a computer lab. They are merely for decoration, unless she should ever get in a fight in a computer lab. Her hair keeps her from being invisible anywhere else. Despite appearances, Kin is 19 years old. Personality: Kin has a friendly and comforting personality which encourages people to tell her their problems. This is very useful in learning about potential missions. When she is not doing her tour of duty, Kin Function: Mercenaries complete many missions, but Kin is the one who finds those missions. She has a vast network of bars, bulletins, and contacts on many worlds, which she visits using the portal room. When not doing her tour of duty or online with her boyfriend (Zach Rhaine), Kin enjoys her time alone. Abilities: Some diplomatic skill.
Zach Rhaine Appearance: 18 years old, Zach wears brown overalls and a T-shirt. He is almost, but not quite, tall or lanky, with dark blond hair. Other than that, he is very nondescript, other than having long and well-muscled hands. His text display is a small black box with rounded corners, a 2" screen, and a very tiny keyboard on it. Personality: Zach is quiet and unassuming (and would be if he were not mute). Intends to major in English when he goes to college. Zach is dating Kin. Function: Mishaps mechanic. Abilities: Zach is deaf-mute. (He's completely deaf, so hearing aids are ineffective. Technically, it's caused by Pendred syndrome, no goiter present, but that's irrelevant.) He knows several sign languages, and writes good poetry (usually to Kin). He types at least 200 WPM. His mechanical skills are augmented by high dexterity.
