Tales from the League Universe IX: The Wraiths (Cypher System)

 The Wraiths owe their existence to my long appreciation for the Rom Star Knight Comics of the early eighties. Loved that series! The newer reboot isn't half bad, either, FYI. 

Wraiths

Shapeshifting  Alien (Alien Being) – Level 5

Motive: Destablize the Star League; start intergalactic wars

Environment: Space

Health: 20

Damage Inflicted: 5 damage but can manifest the attacks of any number of creatures as well, including a favorite, paralytic poison (level 5 might defense or gain a cumulative -1 penalty on all speed defense and other speed actions)

Armor: none

Movement: short; can form wings to fly at long range

Modifications: Intellect Defense Level 8 to see through their impenetrable disguises.

Powers: Shapeshifting, usually tech gadgets as well.

Wraiths are shapeshifters from a distance star system that work to oppose and destabilize the Star League, which recently revealed itself to the Terran system when the renegade Centauri flotilla arrived in the Terran Kuiper Belt seeking asylum and permission to colonize the moon Titan. They are fleeing from the forces of The Devourers, which have taken their world.  The Wraiths are allied with the Devourers as mercenaries and are doing the bidding of the Devourer army led by the cyber-demon Inferno.


NEXT: The Legend!
