The Medieval League of Evil

[Tereglith]

(I'm not certain that this should go here... Steam Reaper is pure steampunk, but Mistmatched Mage fits more with fantasy. Have fun deliberating, mods!)

My first work with making special figures (aside from Conrad, of course). I wanted to make someone to fight Conrad in Alternate London, so I made London Samurai. And then I wanted to make another villian, so I spent a few hours creating Steam Reaper. And I couldn't just have one human, and one giant robot, there needed to be more humans, to balance it out. So I ended up creating a big, Marvel-like group of villians. Most of them are doofy. Steam Reaper is a little disturbing. All in all, I'm rather proud of them and the little backstories I cooked up for them. Enjoy!

London Samurai

Formerly a ruthless businessman, notorious for decisions that benefitted himself and left peasants destined for the poorhouse, and attempt on his life took his left hand and his peace of mind. He went to Japan to study self defense so that he would no longer be in danger from assassins and others.

While there, he fell in love with Eastern culture, and began to despise his London home. He trained until almost invincible in a fight, and then moved back to London to attempt to purge it of its worst influences, that it might achieve the same heights of knolwedge and refinement as his beloved Japan. In order to reach this goal, he founded the Mideival League of Evil, gathering together outstandingly evil and strange people from around Alternate London to help him in his quest.

Iron Maiden

An enigmatic, armor toting femme fatale, she was the first person recruited to London Samurai's League, and it's rumored that they have romantic connections. Her armor is forged of finest steel, and her guns are the most high-tech weapons in the League outside of Steam Reaper's suit, capable of being reloaded quickly, holding whole clips of bullets, and able to have a number of add-ons attached that allow her to shoot different types of shot, shoot silently, or aim more correctly. She is an expert with them, capable of shooting a target the size of a tuppence piece from one hundred yards.

Mis-Matched Mage

On the run from the law for his alleged effeminacy (a charge which he vehemently denies, saying that he just likes good clothes), he began to see the London government as wholly corrupt, it it would attempt to arrest someone for wearing a purple cape and holding one's hand at a forty-five degree angle from the wrist. He met up with Iron Maiden on one of her missions, and demonstrated to her his prowess with magic (which always comes out trans-pink for some reason. He's been working on that...). After he espoused his anarchist views, she took him back to London Samurai, who agreed that he could join the team. His name was coined by the London press after his first raid, in which the foremost thing that the bank guard could remember about him was how horribly the purple, blue, and trans-pink had clashed.

Sargeant-At-Arms

A former tactician and combat specialist for the British Army, Sargeant-At-Arms became disenchanted with the governance of the army after visiting a base not on the front lines in the war against France and seeing how much waste was occuring at it when the resources in his former base were spread thin. These were his last thoughts before a blow from the eager private he was training at the base knocked him unconscious. A subsequent trip to the barracks hospital, which was less than sanitary, left him with a mind-altering fever.

He awoke half-mad, retaining the knowledge of how to kill someone from ten feet with any weapon ever invented (including the twenty-seven that he invented himself), but not knowing much else aside from the fact that he had been thinking about how wrongly the general had been acting. He fought his way out of the base, stealing dozens of weapons and hiding them on his person as he went, and wandered into London, looking for whoever was in charge.

London Samurai found him, and after a drawn-out battle in which Samurai was barely the victor, he brought him back to the League headquarters, and questioned him. Sargeant-At-Arms began to remember who he was, and demonstrated to Samurai his proficiency with all the weapons he had stolen. Impressed, Samurai explained to the Sargeant the League's mission, and offered him a spot in it. Sargeant accepted, and has become the League's best fighting force, able to keep eight weapons in play at once.

Steam Reaper

During one of Iron Maiden's raids, she accidentally blew up a kerosene warehouse, the basement of which had held the laboratory of a mad scientist that the League had been trying to locate to sent an invitation to join. He was mortally wounded in the explosion, but had luckily been working on a serum that could preserve life when submerged in it. Iron maiden rushed to help him, and, using her not-inconsiderable knowledge of mechanical science, constructed a basic life-support unit for him to reside in and took him back to League HQ.

In her workshop, the two collaborated on constructing a steam-powered suit for him, and the result was Steam Reaper, a man-machine hybrid with eight spiked legs, a melded-steel scythe, and a magic-enhanced flamethrower. Since he had only been a scientist for the love of blowing things up anyway, Steam Reaper has become the League's most destructive, and most feared member.

The League

The League as it stands today. In the front-left of the group is The Swarm, a group of semi-intelligent bugs bred by Samurai from spiders and ants he had found in Japan. The League uses them to create diversions, hold off coppers, and send messages between members.

Thanks for viewing! C&C welcome. The League may swell in ranks in the future as I get more inspiration.

Neat.

Reminds me of these:

Sillof's Victorian Avengers

Sillof's Gaslight Justice League

[Tereglith]

Those links are cool. I was sort of inspired by reading the wikipedia article on Marvel 1602.

[Big Cam]

Reminds me of the League of Extrodinary Gentleman.

Very creative, I like how they are all so different.

[Milan]

Reminds me of the League of Extrodinary Gentleman.

I agree!

I like the Steam Reaper the best.

I used to make something similar, but this is just awesome!
