World Crime League

Today I finished reading through Jess' Fantastic Victoriana site. I was specifically looking for bad guys, but also got a few monsters, inventions, and supernatural items out of it. The named antagonists went into a list which I am calling "the World Crime League," not because they are actually aligned into a single conspiracy, but because I thought that would make a good name for an Antagonists file.

I would like to eventually get to the point where we can offer a special badge or title to players who go to the trouble of reading one of the stories these characters appears in and then writing up said villain for the game. Until that day, I will slowly work through the list as time and enthusiasm permits, writing up the villains for True20 and giving story advice. My list includes almost 60 names, but here is the "short list" whom I would do before any others.

Ayesha, She Who Must Be Obeyed
The Beetle, Shapechanging Priestess of Isis
Carmilla, Lesbian Vampire
Count Dracula, Carpathian Un-Dead
Djara Singh, Tibetan Prince and Psychic Thief
Dr. Caresco, Mad Scientist
Dr. Quartz, Vivisectionist, Mesmerist, Creator of the Crime School
Dr. Nikola, Criminal Genius
Duchess da Carpi, Femme Fatale from Beyond the Grave
Duncan Warner, Train Robber, Murderer, Electric Superman
Fantomas, the Lord of Terror, the Genius of Evil
Father Rodin, Master Criminal and Aspiring Pope
Helen Vaughn, Daughter of the Great God Pan
Jocko Kelly, Elusive Jewel-Thief
Julius Courtney, Sociopathic Psychic Vampire
Kiang Ho, Chinese Mastermind of Sea-Crime
The King in Yellow, Cosmic Horror
Lord Ruthven, Womanizing Vampyre
Madame Felician, Russian Master Criminal and Body-Hopper
Madame Koluchy, Scientist Leader of the Brotherhood of the Seven Kings
Margrave, Master of the Occult
Pharos the Egyptian, Magician Priest Damned to Eternal Life
Quong Long, Lord of Chinatown
Robur the Conqueror, Master of the Air
Sir Dunstan Gryme, Leader of the Council of Anarchists
