Tales from the League Universe VI: Quark (Cypher System)

 Quark is my tribute to DC's Atom and Marvel's Hank Pym:

Dr. William Holst (formerly Quark)

Human (technologically enhanced) – Level 5

Motive: Study and understand how the Quantum Realm, the Interstitial Realms and the Hyperverse connect

Environment: The halls of academia or the wonders of the microverse

Health: 30

Damage Inflicted: 5 points (charge ray gun)

Armor: 1 (armored Quark suit)

Movement: short; flying long (in Microship)

Modifications: Intellect Based Defense and Skills at Level 8; Gadgetry at Level 7 (repair, make)

Powers: Holst’s powers come from his ships and his suits. The ships are what allow for transition from macroscale to quantum scale, and they pass through the Interstitial Layer to make this happen; the vessel can move in other directions in The Bleed….theoretically.

Quantum Microship: Level 7 artifact, this vessel allows for transition into other dimensions. Can carry a total of 7 people. Necessary to enter (or escape) these dimensions.

Quantum Coagulator: a healing device that can mend the unraveling effect of Between and his goons.

Holst would love to help, but he needs to escape the clutches of Between and his foreign dimensional invaders. Once freed, he can aid them in repairing his Microship and taking them to the Devil’s Graveyard.

Between has seized control of a city called Atheria on the microverse world called Nethanor. The green-skinned natives are surprisingly human but only wield swords and primitive weapons and armor. Their Queen, Laetha, has also been taken by Between who presents himself as a God.

Once freed, Holst can aid the PCs but in order to find Legend and/or the others in the Bleed he needs three coordinates. As it happens, the residual radiation from the Bleed at the locations of the other abductions can triangulate a location….and that location is within the Devil’s Graveyard.


NEXT: The Between!
