Guile

Archetype: Human Mage Night Club Owner

Guile runs an underground club known as Hate. It is not the type of club one would journey to if they wanted fun, it is a sadistic place where people torture themselves and each other with their greatest fears, hates, and lost desires. Although it is favored primarily by mages, all types are welcome. Through the use of magic, drugs, and good old fashion pain one experiences hell in the cavernous warehouse filled with a maze of statues, coffins, nail beds, animatronic creatures, blood waterfalls, pulsating lights, and brutal pounding music. In the center, raised several meters above the floor, sits Guile. He has a look of pure hatred on his face, his throne of flesh and bone rotating so he can get a full view of everyone else's personal Hells. Occasionally one of the club goers is "graced" with the opportunity to join Guile on his throne and ascend into the Blood Chamber high above the floor and experience what pure Hell is. Some have emerged fulfilled, some have emerged insane, some have not emerged at all. With the assistance of his ally, Faith, he takes them on an astral quest to a metaplane only he knows about. Dark secrets are kept there, secrets which can give you a new life, or erase your very existence.

Faith

Archetype: Ally

Guile's ally. Is in the form of a spindly, metal robot with many sharp cutting utensils as appendages. When not acting as a torture device in the real world Faith is busy keeping a gateway to the Astral Planes open for Guile and his "adventurers". Is somebody ends up dying because of the quest the body is then given to Faith who cuts it into various pieces to be sent to a body shop. If anyone found out about this practice is would almost certainly cause major problems.

Dinea

Archetype: Human Mage

Dinea has complete control over Guile's every action. She has beaten him down to the point that he believes pain is all that exists, that pain truly is love. Guile is basically a figure head to the operation Dinea runs, the dealing of body parts. If the operation is exposed it is clear who would fall and who wouldn't. Dinea's personality and actions are quick and brutal, she has custom designed her spells to do as much damage in as little time and with as much spectacle as possible. She specializes in a Death Touch spell which, when effective, blows the person's heart out their back.

Khrystal

Archetype: Human Club Habitué

The archtypical, messed up customer of the Hate club, with the exception that she has become psychotically obsessed with Guile. Although she has never made an actual attempt to get "to" or "at" him, she is constantly planning. She is just a Dinea mind probe away from death, however.

Devious

Archetype: Human Street Samurai

Dinea's primary "body part" contact. He is also one step away from death due to a single, but very unfortunate, incident when he threatened to expose the operation if he was not paid more. He got his raise, but he also got a third strike. Dinea is now just waiting for a convenient moment.

Volem

Archetype: Troll Bouncer Mage

A bouncer at the club. He has limited magical ability and basically keeps at least one "sense adverse intentions" type spells running at all times.

Tithe

Archetype: Human Bouncer

A bouncer at the club, and not nearly as forgiving as Volem when it comes to violations. Although his right hand appears to be a hand it is actually a solid piece of iron shaped like a hand. Ouch.
