Hank Straum

Full Name: Hank Peter Straum

Nicknames/Aliases/Titles: Obergruppenführer ENA (World Order Regional Leader, Eastern North America); Spieß

Age: 56

Personality: Hank is a cool, calculating man. He is focused, driven, and stubborn as an ox. He is nearly impossible to throw off, phase, or otherwise bother. He deals with problems quickly and efficiently, with no regard for his own personal motivations, only what the Reich needs done. His reputation for being heartlessly efficient has earned him the nickname, Spieß, the skewer. Nobody says it around him, as he much prefers his own, normal name. Hank has no restrictions when it comes to violence, and is willing to do nearly anything in order to fulfill his task. But he puts no emotion into it, something he makes sure of. Hank is dedicated to his job and the Reich, and feels that nothing they say can be wrong.

Likes: Order, Efficiency, Ubermensch, The Sea, his Car, his Dog, the Reich

Dislikes: His nickname, emotion and work mixing, failure, caves, bats

Fears: A collapse of the world order, the loss of his job

Appearance(If you have a pic, just a short paragraph): Hank is an aging man, but he is still fully capable of many things he could do as a younger man. He stands about 5' 10", though he often wears a custom sort of fedora/porkpie hat, making him seem a few inches taller. He generally dresses in full black SS uniform, along with his hat. When not at work, he just wears a dark suit and tie, or just a dress shirt and pants.

Relations(Friends and Family): Hank's family mostly live out in the American west, and he doesn't speak to them much, as they resent him for supporting the regime. Most of Hank's friends are similar high-up officials or SS men. His dog, Blitz, a large Great Pyrenees is the only other thing living in his house.

Location(Where do they live?): Hank lives a short walk from the SS building in Washington DC. The structure replaced the old Congress Building, and Hank lives a few blocks away from it.

Occupation/Talents(Job, and/or what are they good at): Hank is in charge of the whole World Order West of Denver and east of the Atlantic, excluding all land south of Havana. Hank is also an excellent gunman, earned from all his years with the SS. He's also incredibly good at flattery and convincing people to do what he wants, another trait picked up from working with the German government.

Superhuman Ability Name: Electrokinesis

Ability Description: The ability to absorb and release electricity. Hank is immune to all the effects of electrical shock or otherwise, and can instead convert this electricity into something to be fired, conducted, or repurposed. (Think bad-guy starwars lightning, but way more intricate). Hank must absorb electricity from some source before he can expel it.

Opinion on Ubermensch:As an Ubermensch, Hank values his and others abilities quite highly, but he recognizes they are technically not perfect Aryans. He thinks they are best suited for being the military class of the Reich, and he wishes the government would reinstate the requirement.

Opinion on the Nazis:Obviously, Hank believes the Nazis are an excellent people, who have finally brought peace to the earth. Given his position, he knows much about the Nazis that others do not, and continues to believe they are "in the right"

Randolph Kappler

Full Name: Randolph Kappler

Nicknames/Aliases/Titles: Kriminalinspektor (Gestapo); Obersturmfuhrer (SS); Nickname: Griftgrun ("poison green")

Age: 31

Personality: Randolph is an ambitious and focussed individual with a dangerous reputation, which he has carefully cultivated, of one who is capable of literally anything in the pursuit of his job. No terror tactic too vile, no atrocity too base, nothing beyond him. This has earned him a quick dash up the ranks, though not much in the way of friends, as no-one knows how quickly the Gestapo can descend on you than Gestapo men themselves. Randolph is not troubled by his apparent social deficiency, preferring solitary activities and study to recreation and the like. He regularly pulls all-nighters and as a result is currently unmarried. What he hides from others is that making contact with other minds somewhat influences his own, causing him to pick up some aspects of his victim's personality; he is beginning to change in thought patterns and finds things appealing that were once disgusting, and vice versa.

Likes: The Hunt, 50's-era literature and art, libraries. He has recently acquired a taste for decadent pre-Victory art.

Dislikes: The consumption of alcohol, loud and crowded places.

Fears: Becoming the quarry in the next purge. The changes happening within his head.

Appearance: Randolph's nickname comes from the colour of his uniform - griftgrun - which seems to have sunk into him and most civilian suits he has are in that colour as well, so it almost seems like he's never "off-duty". He is still in his prime, though he was never an especially athletic man, standing tall and slim at 6"2. He has slick dark hair, sharp brown eyes and wears horn-rimmed spectacles for reading.

Relations(Friends and Family): Randolph has few friends and generally prefers his own company. He has begun a slow, awkward courtship of Elsa, a secretary in his office, though primarily this is to stop people talking about why a man would stay unmarried so long. His family consists solely of a brother, a blue-collar factory worker who he does not get on with at all but who is extremely keen to exploit Randolph's politically useful position to denounce people who annoy him.

Location(Where do they live?): Randolph lives and works in Manhattan, New York. He operates out of the Gestapo office on Wall Street, where the bankers are intensely scrutinised regularly, and he has a small but well-appointed apartment a few blocks from the Park.

Occupation/Talents: Randolph is one of the Gestapo's finest "rat-finders", in no small part due to his power set. He works for the Gestapo's Department A, who ferret out political opponents to the party such as Communists and Liberals. He is a trained counter-intelligence officer, with a skillset that includes bureaucracy, interrogation, marksmanship and covert surveillance.

Superhuman Ability Name: Telepathy

Ability Description: Randolph has the ability to contact, read and influence the minds of those around him. How effective he is and how "deep" he can delve into a person's mind depends heavily on how focussed he is on the task; he can read someone's surface thoughts quite easily but would have to focus intensely upon them to delve into their memories, for instance. While he can't control someone's mind, he can apply "pressure" to them, causing mental pain and anguish until they do what he wants.

Opinion on Ubermensch: It seems quite natural to him that Ubermensch are inherently superior to regular people; after all, doesn't his status as Ubermensch make him worth ten Gestapo officers? Didn't Ubermenschen win the war? Of course, he knows that being outspoken about these views would be unpopular.

Opinion on the Nazis: He used to be a very pro-Party man, card-carrying and everything. Contact with enough subversive minds has caused him to be less certain in his perception of the Party, as he has literally seen the Party from the perspective of those they persecute..

Darío Díaz AKA Lobo

Full Name: Darío Díaz Cuesta

Nicknames/Aliases/Titles: Lobo AKA Wolf.

Age:67

Personality: Darío is a driven man, and he likes to focus in any task he has committed himself to do with the utmost care and dedication. While coming usually harsh, hard to approach and abrasive, he has a surprisingly insightful and philosophical side, and he's a self proclaimed Stoic in the vein of Marcus Aurelius. While his wording might be outright rude, he rarely denies advice nor help when people seeks him specifically, and he's surprisingly civil with the environment and animals (he particulary loves dogs and wolves). He also makes no distinction between people. They're all humans in his eyes.

Darío's loyalty is known to be hard to obtain, as nobody in 50 years has been able to pull such a feat, but like the Wolf, he will follow anyone worthy into the depths of hell if need be. The same can be said about his emmity. He's methodical and throughout with his foes, and once he's set, no amount of negotiation will change his mind. He can't be reasoned with. He can't be made to cower.

Likes: Classical History and Philosophy, Animals, Kids, Napping under a tree, Dedication, No Nonsense, Honesty

Dislikes: Fascists, Sycophants, Hypocrites, Cramped Urban Environments.

Fears: Dying before the Reich is overthrown. Besides that, NOTHING.

Appearance(If you have a pic, just a short paragraph): Nobody in the Reich knows what he looks like nowadays, as the last picture they had of him was in a prisoner camp in 1945. Those who came too close with the truth, were met with an early, swift and gruesome end. He looks a little older than he is due to hardships in life. He is nevertheless of average height and weight, and despite his advanced age, he looks fit and slim, and one can tell he has a physical form and vigor not much different than someone at its peak. Clearly age has just given him wrinkles and white hairs, but he hasn't slowed him in the slightlest. He prefers to don unconspicious disguises and clothes, like factory workers and janitors.

Relations(Friends and Family): Lobo was never big on relations. He's on friendly terms and such with fellow resistance members and he has befriended people half across the globe that could be classified as "Subhuman" by the Reich. He had a wife before with a couple of kids but they became victims of the World Order sooner or later, as such he doesn't go beyond acquaintance level nowadays.

Location(Where do they live?): Montainous outskirts of Madrid, in an old but well fitted stone cottage. Planning to move even closer in the heart of the Reich.

Occupation/Talents(Job, and/or what are they good at): Shepherd, Philosopher, occasional Hunter... and Partisan for 50 years. Among his repertoire he can count being a crack shot with bolt action rifles (he's average with most automatic weapons, though), an skilled survivalist and tracker, a decent first aid helper, a good tactician and even a mixed martial artist (courtesy of his eastern acquaintances). He's probably one of the remaining notable figures of the resistance, by virtue of outliving anyone else.

Superhuman Ability Name: Adamant Will. (If it can be called superhuman... It could be aswell being really ballsy.)

Ability Description: To sum it up, he is the only true master of his mind. No external interference can pry much beyond, and those lucky enough to get a reading, they find an unsettling yawning abyss that seems to be gazing BACK at the intruder. The same thing can be said about pain, and mind altered states. No amount of injury, barring extreme brain damage, will affect his cognitive ability significantly. He also requires an absurd amount of sedatives to be just put down. He cannot even despair, nor succumb to fear. Even if someone were to cut his arms, legs and shoot half his face, he would still try to CRAWL and BITE the offender.

Opinion on Ubermensch: They're interesting individuals. But they're all wasting their potential, by chaining themselves to an oppressive regime, when they could be helping all of humanity in general.

Opinion on the Nazis: The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. There's no forgiveness nor repentance for the bastards after what they did to his country, his family and even himself in a prisoner camp. He does make a distinction between people just doing his job and authentic believers in the cause, though.

Higgs

Full Name:
Glen Higgs
Nicknames/Aliases/Titles:
Higgs, Former Unterfeldwebel(Staff Sergeant - Wehrmacht)
Age:
32
Personality:
Foolhardy and courageous, Higgs is exactly the type of man you'd expect to join the resistance. With his bravery comes the inquisitive side to his personality, which was the main reason why he became a private investigator. He slips in and out of depression, but always remains stoic, making it hard for anyone to pinpoint how he is feeling at most times. He generally reacts negatively to romantic advances, but has been getting back into the 'game' recently due to a few of his friends from his local pub trying to set him up.

He often likes to make himself seem smarter than he is, namely by quoting various latin phrases he has memorized. He is also quite prone to showing mercy, even to the Ubermensch he so hates, and dislikes killing unless it is absolutely necessary.
Likes:
Cigars, cars, neon, whiskey, banned literature
Dislikes:
Ubermensch, fascists, the Gestapo, snakes
Fears:
Being indoctrinated, commitment to most things par the resistance and his work, dementia
Appearance:
Higgs stands at 5 foot 11 and has a fit physique. His hair is a dark black, and is usually styled in a quiff. His beard is trimmed sparingly and is rather scruffy as a result. A scar crosses his right eyebrow, another crosses the upper part of his lip and a third travels vertically from his chin. His eyes are a deep brown. He can often be seen wear his cream trench coat over a shirt and on top of some dress trousers. He wears a small necklace with a locket containing pictures of his family that is kept hidden underneath his shirt.

Relations:

• Parents - Deceased shortly after birth
• Wife - Deceased during his early 20s
• Daughter - Deceased during his early 20s

Location:
In a small office/apartment, in New York
Occupation/Talents:
Private Investigator/Resistance member
He is a crack shot with his pistol and revolver, and knows how to handle an assault rifle if need be. Along with this, he is a keen strategist and a skilled detective.

Opinion on Ubermensch:
He believes the Ubermensch to be completely un-human and has no sympathy for them as a result. That being said, he has never talked to one who hasn't talked down to him, so his opinion on them has been significantly lowered because of this.
Opinion on the Nazis:
He has some sympathy for the less devout members, but will gladly send a fist to the face of any well-known or devout members if he had the chance to.
