He tries to build himself up as the biggest and baddest, giving his weapons and techniques with his epithets intimidating names, announcing “teleports behind you” when he sneaks up behind people, building himself up with grandiose claims about himself, and putting down (albeit gently, he’s a villain, not a jerk) those who oppose or are in a thin peace with him. Giovanni also believes “street cred” will bring him closer to his ultimate goal of becoming the greatest supervillain in the world. He makes quick judgements based on information he’s given, quickly hopping to new ones as he learns more about situations he’s in, and continues to hold and speak of them. Despite all this however, Giovanni is absolutely secretly nice. He deeply values his minions, showing a deep respect for them and their safety, enjoying activities such as knitting, and believing a true villain is absolutely not a jerk, even jumping from the Banzai Blasters because of this. Unrelated to all this, Giovanni appears to be quite thrifty, shown by not stabbing a knife through a bat due to not wanting to ruin a good of either, and complaining about prices from the fabric he used to make his costume to his Banzai Blaster fees. He also seems to find intrigue in historical artifacts, requesting he be buried in dinosaur bones and mentioning he wanted to steal said bones alongside things such as mummies. Equipment: Giovanni wields a bat with a knife duct taped to it, dubbed by him as the “Soul-Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction”. This appears to just be an ordinary bat with a knife taped to it, but the tape seems sticky enough to remove the knife from it and reattach it. The knife also seems sturdy enough to be hit at someone by the bat, and to be thrown back at Giovanni with decent strength. Giovanni also possesses a knitting kit in him in his man purse, including a pair of needles and a variety of yarn. He appears to no longer have any additional equipment after giving his Banzai Blaster peashooter to Molly, which she discarded. Attributes: Giovanni is skilled at leadership, finding creative uses for his epithet and those of others, and knitting. He possesses an epithet, “Soup”, which allows him to create and manipulate soup and it’s aspects. He can use this in several different techniques, including forming orbs of soup either as-is or with explosive properties, manipulating steam in ways including making dispelling whirlwinds, boosting himself in bursts of speed or upwards with steam, creating fogs of steam that obscure vision and recover strength to those within it, increasing the temperature of soup without a direct line of sight, and producing healthy soup from his sweat to recover strength once per fight. Since his lucky number is thirteen, he has an ability separate from his epithet where every 13h attack he does is extra effective, which can be charged by simply gently knocking about objects. Background: Giovanni was raised by his two mothers (one of whom is seen in the series) prior to the show, but his overall background is unknown other than that. He broke into the Jazz City Museum hoping to score some historical artifacts, unknowing crossing wires with Molly and two thieves looking to steal the Arsene Amulet. He formed an unlikely alliance with Molly due to aforementioned two absolutely wrecked him and his boys, dubbing her “Beartrap”. With the help of her and Dr. Sylvester Ashling, the three were able to defeat the two, with Giovanni and his boys escaping arrest and getting the amulet. He then had it appraised by Ramsey Murdoc, intending to give it to the boss of the Banzai Blasters for “street cred” but ending up having it stolen by two higher-ups. He then proceeded to make a show of beating the two higher-ups in a half-finished fight, attempitnng to look strong but just actually exposing his identity to the authorities. The last he’s seen in the series is hiding in the bushes after retreating due to now being a wanted man, having his name now attached to the theft of the Arsene Amulet.

(Aka non-binary.) Canon: Epithet Erased Main Thread or Sandbox: Sandbox Starting Location: Metropolis Personality: Percy is a no-nonsense individual, arm in arm with her principles. She speaks consistently in a very formal, even tone, using uncommonly used words and sometimes odd turns of phrase to communicate what she wants. Percival is utterly dedicated to everything from her job, to the promises she makes, to even her breakfast of bread and water at a precise time (she adds butter to the water on holidays). She’s quite straight-laced, utterly sworn to upholding law and order but falling short when her own dedication to doing it results in insensitive and unusual actions on her part. Percy is also very vulnerable to questions to her abilities, and often pursues her goals harder to dispose of these doubts. Despite all this, she seems to believe in the concept of both change and fairness, believing in the idea that society has failed criminals and offering compromises to Ramsey despite his previous crimes. Equipment: Percival wields what is stated by her to be a “real-ass goddamn sword”, which appears to be simply just a very intimidating sword of unknown type. She also carries around with her two pairs of eraser cuffs, handcuffs for inscribed (people with an epithet) that make them forget their epithet once they come into contact with them. Attributes: Percy us apparently skilled in wielding a sword, seeing as she carries one with her as her apparent main weapon. She also has a very strong moral compass, and apparently has a repertoire of knowledge on architecture as she does architectural consultation as a side job and simply needs to understand it for her epithet. Her epithet in question, “Parapet”, allows her to construct various small structures with various effects at the cost of her stamina. If Percy uses up enough stamina using her epithet, she has the high risk of passing out, the structures cannot be built on organic material, and the strength of the structures relies in the strength of the foundation they’re built on. Some of the structures Percy has been seen constructing include an apothecary to heal injuries, a wizard tower to create electric blasts (and create a magnetic field in pairs, and a forge to supposedly increase defenses. Background: Any of Percy’s past prior to the events of the show are left unknown. She is first introduced to the show as an unknown voice who answers multiple calls to the police, before coming to the scene of the theft of the Arsene Amulet. Despite her attempts to deescalate the situation, she failed to apprehend the criminals and retrieve the amulet due to the involvement of “hostages”. One of said “hostages”, Molly Blyndeff, was later interrogated by her to try and retrieve information in the Banzai Bkasters who walked away with the necklace the night of the crime. Coincidentally, she was called in to deal with a vehicle crash and happened to discover the collection of Banzai Blasters hidden in Redwood Run. Through a partnership achieved with Ramsey Murdoc, she managed to retrieve both the amulet and arrest several Banzai Blasters at Redwood Run, and is last seen in the series striking a deal with Murdoc as he was arrested.

Zora is confident in her abilities both as a sharpshooter and in general that she wields an air of confidence so strong that it turns playful. She threatens people with an air of joking and knowledge that she’ll catch them soon, messes around during the process of hunting her bounties knowing that she can, betting her target on a duel, and generally seems to take on her bounty hunting as a job of fun, aiming to take down those that are high on the price, but never as high as her own just for the excitement of it. Excitement is what Zora feels for the romanticized idea of dueling skill on skill with fair competition all around, and that’s why she despises epithets despite having one of her own. She believes nobody should have an advantage due to a superpower, which is why she wants to get rid of them and joined Bliss Ocean. Though despite this, she seems semi-hypocritical, using her epithet significantly in her jobs to the point of cheating with it and lashing out with it whenever she’s displeased, which she depends to become when someone insistently sits in her way or breaks something she cares about. Zora also seems to despise children to an extent, apparently attempting to normalize child murder. Finally, Zora has a very loose moral code, seeming to operate in the romantic idea of competition and the comings and going’s of money in bounties. Equipment: Zora is equipped with two revolver pistols she made herself, designed after the markings given by her strong epithet. She’s very fond of them, shown by how she snaps to full-on rage after Ramsey destroys them. Judging by how she’s seen reloading the pistols, she also carries spare ammo for them. Attributes: Zora is insanely skilled with firearms, seen making very precise and impressive shots throughout the show. She also possesses a very powerful epithet “Sundial”, which allows her to dial anything backwards or forward in a process with a beginning and an end, but she cannot move it any longer after the process ends. She can also freeze an object in a process like a bullet flying through the air, and unfreeze it to allow it to move through the process again. The effects of her epithet are removed from human victims once she turns her epithet off provided there are no permanent effects like death. Zora is also capable of imbuing her epithet into an object, most commonly her bullets. Her epithet is limited in its affects on things that do not corrode such as gold. She could hypothetically use her epithet to heal wounds provided they are treated absolutely correctly, but why would she do that, now? Regardless, her epithet is the reason for the triangular markings on her face due to its raw power. Background: Little is known about Zora pre-show, other than the fact that she grew to love competition, despise epithets, join Bliss Ocean, and rise to the third-ranking officer. In the show, she’s seen hunting Giovanni due to his potential possession of the amulet, then Bugsy after it falls into his possession, and after stealing the amulet, eventually loses it after losing a conflict with Ramsey and Percy over the matter of Ramsey’s bounty. She’s last seen informing Bliss Ocean of her failure, and what happens next is unknown. Other: beanpole woman go brrrr
