At long last, Virgil! The last piece of Elysium!

Finally, I'm done with Elysium. Here is the madman behind it all, Virgil The Recluse.

Well all know who Virgil really is...

 
Notes on Virgil
To refer to Virgil as a genius, would be an understatement. His mind is capable of understanding concepts and forms of logic that other sapient beings require cybernetic enhancements to understand. Virgil is also quite mad. He suffers from a number of mental illnesses to such an extent that interacting with others is difficult at the best of times. Virgil has a nearly debilitating fear of germs, making him shun any form of skin to skin contact. He also suffers from a form of neurological dysfunction, resulting in the sensations of extreme pain from normally innocuous sensations. Sensations, such as the feeling of cloth and having his nails and hair cut cause him and incredible amount of pain. Virgil only dresses in a hospital gown, and uses rectangular boxes for shoes. Despite these difficulties, he is capable of outsmarting the most intelligent of opponents.

When interacting with Virgil for the first time, use the standard reaction rolls found in whatever set of rules you are using. Whatever the result, Virgil will persist in his opinion of the group despite their actions to reaffirm or counter this opinion. When Virgil makes a choice, his will is such that he will never change his mind.

*Virgil's Psi-Focus – Virgil possesses a piece of an ancient Earth flight-vehicle known as and airplane. The piece itself was known as propeller, and is nearly as tall as Virgil's 2 meter height. Despite the fact that the its glossy black construction gives it a weight of over 100 kilograms, Virgil's emaciated form is able to wield it as if it weighed 100 grams. The propeller grants the wielder a number of abilities, as long as the wielder is bonded to it. To bond with the Psi-Focus, an individual needs to sacrifice 1 HP worth of blood onto the propeller for a number of days equal to the level of individual wishing to bond with it. The Psi-Focus may only have one person bonded to it at a time, to all others it is a functionless 100 kilogram piece of matter. The propeller grants the following abilities:

  • +5 to the wielder's Psion level, if they possess any on their own.
  • Grants the user use Mindbolt at will, with a caster level equal to the level of the bonded individual's. If the individual has Psion levels, the +5 bonus applies to the wielder's level when figuring damage and range. (Virgil: 45 meters and 20D4+6 damage)
  • The Psi-Focus grants the wielder 1D4 armor while they hold it. This armor is increased by 1 die type for every 3 levels the wielder possesses, with the die type after 1D12 being 1D20. (Virgil: 1D20)
  • Grants the user use of Detect Psi at will, with a caster level equal to the level of the bonded individual's.
  • Grants the user the use of Glow at will, with a caster level equal to the level of the bonded individual's. If the individual has Psion levels, the +5 bonus applies to the wielder's level when figuring the radius of the light. (Virgil: 24 meters).

**XP-73 Pistol – Among Virgil's mental peculiarities is the inability to be satisfied with a project or creation. He is constantly nagged by the feeling that he is missing something important, or that the project is perfect save for one undefinable thing. This inability to be satisfied means he is constantly building, rearranging, and disassembling objects he uses frequently. The object at the center of this mania is his XP-73. The pistol rarely maintains the same configuration from one day to the next. Each time the characters interact with Virgil, roll on the charts below to determine the functionality of the pistol. The only things that remain the same about his pistol is the range and the ammo-save.

Damage - 1D6
  1. 1D4
  2. 1D6

Damage Type - 1D6
  1. Heat
  2. Energy
  3. Cold
  4. Impact
  5. Penetrating

To determine the number of abilities the pistol possesses, roll 1D4+2. Whatever the result, roll that number of times on the chart below. If the same result is rolled multiple times, multiply the effects by that number of times.

  3. Explosive
  4. Freezing
  5. Igniting
  6. Shocking
  7. Targeter
  8. Vicious – If damage is already 1D20, add +3 to the damage.

***Cybernetics and Being Dead – Virgil is rife with cybernetics and nanites, imbedded in every part of his body except his brain. This profusion or artificial enhancements has put him in a state of undeath, greatly increasing his physical resilience.

****Psi-Talents – Virgil is an incredibly powerful Psion, and knows most or all of the lower level talents and many of the upper level ones. 9 / Day Each: All level 1 Talents. 8 / Day Each: All level 2 Talents. 7 / Day Each: All level 3 Talents. 6 / Day Each: All level 4 Talents. 5 / Day Each: Ectomation, Heavy Heal, Intellect Blaster, Teleport, and True Telekinesis. 4 / Day Each: Disintegration, Mass Sugguestion, and Pure Heal. 3 / Day Each: Stormcaller and Stun. 2 / Day Each: Antipathy/Sympathy and Mind Blank. 1 / Day Each: Kill and Stasis.

Special: Propeller Powered: Virgil carries a glossy black propeller from an ancient Earth vehicle known as an airplane.

To bond with the propeller, an individual needs to sacrifice 1 HP worth of blood onto the propeller for a number of days equal to the level of individual wishing to bond with it. The propeller may only have one person bonded it to at a time, to all others it is a functionless 220 pound piece of matter. It grants the wielder +1D6 when using Psionics and The Way. The propeller grants the wielder 1 armor, +1 armor for every 3 levels the individual possesses. Even if the wielder isn't capable of using Psionics or The Way, the propeller gives them the ability to: detect the use of Psionics or The Way, shed a bright light, and fire bolts of psychic energy. If the wielder is capable of using Psionics or The Way, they may add the +1D6 bonus the propeller grants. Undead Cyborg: Virgil is so full of cybernetics and nanites that he might as well be considered undead. Virgil's Wacky Raygun: Every time the PC's encounter Virgil, his gun does something new. Psycho-Brain-Voodoo: Virgil is capable of telepathy, telekinesis, jaunting (teleporting) short distances, dominating the weak-minded, and electrocuting people with lightning that shoots out of his fingers.

Virgil's Raygun
  1. Freeze Ray – Freezes parts of a target, or an entire target. You're as cold as ice.
  2. Heat Ray – Lights folks and objects on fire. It's shake and bake, and you helped.
  3. Gravity Ray – Makes folks really heavy, or crushes them flat. All your weight falls on them.
  4. Pixel Ray – Pixelates the target, turning them into a 16-bit version of themselves. 'Cause you've got Pac-Man fever.
  5. Gamma Ray – Turns your target green... Then their flesh breaks out into sores, then sloughs off. Hulk-o-Mania has got ya, brother.
  6. Furniture Ray – Target gets hit with materialized piece of random furniture. 1) Wing-Back Chair 2) Setee 3) Piano Bench 4) Recliner 5) Ottoman 6) Leopard-Print Porno Sex Couch. F*ck your couch, Darknesses!

Notes on the Elysium Secret Security Force
Elysium does not have a uniformed security force. Rather, it relies on a force of secret police who could truly be anyone, even children. The Secret Security Force enacts the will of Virgil, and deals with any individual who goes against the will of Virgil. The force likes to quickly subdue an individual and take them to a separate location, before engaging in more 'in-depth' policing.

For Young Master Pellinore

This is a version of Galisant / Questing Beast more in line with legends and T.H. White's 'Once and Future King'. 

For Young Master Pellinore. Art by H.J. Ford (1904)
 
Galisant of Legends and Stories
Armor Class: 23
Hit Dice: 10D + 10
Initiative: +5
Movement: 200 feet per round Walking.
Attacks: 2 / +10 (Hooves), 1 / +10 (Bite), and (Baying of Hounds)
Damage: 1D8 Hooves, 1D10 Bite – (*Poison)
All Saves: 10
Magic Resistance: 20%
Size: 4 ft. at the shoulder, and 10 ft. long. (Size of a male African Lion)
Alignment: Lawful
Intelligence: Average Human
Special Abilities:
*Poison: Every time a person takes damage from Galisant's bite, the target must make a save versus Poison. Those that fail their save will take 1D4 damage per round for the next 3 rounds. A single target can suffer from 3 doses of poison at a time.

Infrared Vision: Galisant can see in the Infrared spectrum, allowing her to see perfectly in the dark.

Baying of Hounds: Galisant is able to produce a sound exactly like a pack of baying hounds. The sound can be modulated to create a number of effects. Galisant may use each effect three times per day. Effect I: Galisant brings into being a special favor upon herself and her allies, and causes harm to her enemies. All attacks, damage and saving throws made by those in capable of hearing the baying who are friendly to Galisant are at +1, while those of her enemies are at -1. This bonus/penalty continues as long as Galisant continues to bay. She may attack while baying, but only using her hooves. The bonus ends when she stops baying. Effect II: Her baying can summon a mammal, or several of them, to her locale in order that the creature(s) can attack the Galisant's opponents. The conjured animal(s) remain in the cleric's locale for 20 melee rounds, or until slain. Galisant can call up one or more mammals with hit dice whose total does not exceed 10. The creature(s) summoned will unfailingly attack the opponent(s) of Galisant. Effect III: Galisant lets out a single loud bark that causes a cone-shaped area originating at her mouth and extending outwards in a 60ft cone to be filled with destructive vibrations. It causes 5D4 damage, it also causes deafness for 5 turns on a failed save versus magic.

Pursued But Never Caught: Galisant is always able to find the shortest, most direct route that she is seeking, be it the way to or from or out of a locale. The locale can be outdoors or underground, a trap or even a maze spell. The spell will enable Galisant to select the correct direction which will eventually lead her to egress, and the exact path to follow (or actions to take). She is never hindered by her environment, never receiving movement negatives due to terrain.

Spell Casting: While Galisant is not a true spell-caster, she is able to create a number of effects due to her magical nature. 1 / Week: Geas / Quest – She only bestows quests to those she believes are worthy. Those who successfully complete the quest are granted one of the following: A legendary magical item (GM's choice), Immunity to all natural poisons, Trackless steps, Completely unhindered by forest growth, or Ability to speak to non-magical animals. Those who do something dishonorable by Galisant's standards, lose this ability ability until they engage in another of Galisant's quests. 1 / Day Each: Heal, Restoration, and Resurrection. Galisant only uses her abilities on those she finds worthy.

The Questing Beast

So, this is the Questing Beast / Glatisant. You may remember her from T.H. White's Once and Future King. She is the 5th forest manager. Just 1 more to go, damn my slow pace.

**Poison: Every time a target is struck by the Questing Beast's bite attack, and at least 1 point of damage is suffered after armor protection, the target must make a Toughness save. If they fail their save, they take an additional 1D8 points of damage, this damage cannot be reduced by armor/force-fields/psi-talents.

*** Spreading: This ability adds 1 meter to either side of the projectile's/beam's path. The attacker makes a single attack-roll, if the attack roll exceeds the defense score of anyone caught in the path of the attack, they suffer damage as normal.

****Continuous: The attack damages everyone in the path and range of the beam/projectile. The attacker makes a single roll, all those in the path of the beam/projectile whose defense is less than the roll, are hit.
