The Good, The Bad 2 The Truly Villainous

KageMathew Simpson used to be a member of the

local police force, but now he survives off of the money hetakes from the criminals he captures. As a member of thepolice force, Mathew loved his job, but he always wishedthat he could do more.

At the age of 28, and after a near deathexperience, Mathew started to develop these uniqueabilities. Mathew did not understand what was happening,but he liked the changes and he did his best to developthem. Thankfully there was no change in Mathew’sappearance, and he was able to keep the changes a secret.

After Mathew had a handle on his powers hestarted to apprehend criminals while off duty. A further 2years passed and Mathew’s black trench coat andfacemask became the bane of many criminals. During thistime Mathew’s alter ego earned the name Kage. As timepassed Mathew changed even more, he no longer loved hisjob, and the persona of Kage consumed him.

Today, Mathew no longer works as an officer,and the level of disgust that he has for the flawed legalsystem has risen to new heights. The constant release andthe lack of convictions against the criminals that Kagecaptured frustrated him beyond his mental limits. Becauseof this Kage no longer uses his powers to hold a criminaluntil the authorities arrive. He now uses his superpower tolock his victim into the force cage with him. This wayKage can make sure that the criminal gets the justice theydeserve.

Kage’s black trench coat and mask still strike fearin most criminals, but he has a couple of new tools. ‘Elsie’,his custom aluminum baseball bat that he uses to deliverjustice, and ‘Angel Maker’ a pair of garden sheers thatKage reserves to use against sex offenders.

Special FXWhen Mathew activates his displacement power

he becomes Kage. The level of displacement is enough toconceal Mathew’s features, allowing him to operatewithout jeopardizing his identity. The force cage that heuses is composed of thin blue glowing bars that cacklewith energy. Touching the force bars will make a deephumming sound, and force the individual’s hair to stand onend.

Kage’s general method of attack is to capture hisopponent in a smaller force cage (15’x15’x15’). Then athis leisure, Kage would create a second force cage aroundboth him and the victim (20’x20’x20’). Once both prisonsare set, Kage dispels the first barred enclosure, trapping histarget in the remaining cage with him. Within the enclosedconfines, Kage administers his level of justice, beforeleaving.

Plot HookWhile in pursuit of a purse-snatcher, Kage

captures a character or two, a civilian, and the thief, all inthe same force cage. During the next round Kage creates asecond force cage encompassing the first before dispellingthe original cage.

Now locked in with his target and the others,Kage wants to grab the purse and give the thief a few goodhits with “Elsie”. Kage ignores any comments fromonlookers, while he dispenses justice. Afterward, if allgoes well, Kage will drop the force cage and return theladies purse.

Kage truly believes that he is doing the rightthing, and that he is a hero of the people. If one or all ofthe characters attack Kage, he will defend himself withforce, but he will not be overly aggressive. Kage wouldrather leave the scene knowing he left another job welldone, then fight people with misconceptions of reality.
