Welcome to New Market

Stevens has lived his life in New Orleans, and now New Market, and wants to clean up the city he loves. One of the decidedly good individuals, he gets frustrated with all the legal manipulation by defense attorneys defending honest clients, and is willing to slip information to heroes from time to time in order to stop the crimes committed by those who have gotten off by technicalities. Publicly, he’ll…

McWhirter is a slightly strange sort. He is seen in the media as having a flamboyant personality, and is frequently labeled as insane. Though he is outlandish, he is the most effective sheriff the area has ever really had. Unfortunately, even he knows he is out of his league when it comes to supervillains and their minions. If any law enforcement official would embrace heroes in the area, it is…

Mugabe is a vindictive, bitter police chief. Installed in his position before New Orleans was wiped out, he blamed everyone but his own men and their incompetence to the loss of life sustained. After the rebuild, Mugabe found himself in charge again and vowed not to let the media, or the criminals, run rampant over him ever again. Though this has meant less crime in the streets, his forces are…

Moreau quietly encourages the mob attention on Burnside from the 11th, as Moreau is the true racist sitting on the council. In addition to her human supremacist beliefs, she is an accomplished geneticist like her cousin, Dr. Moreau. Unlike her cousin’s attempts to duplicate the High Evolutionary of Marvel Comics fame, Moreau works to create perfect human specimens for the Fourth Reich. Her genetics research is quietly used to keep…

Burnside does work for the benefit of his district, that is acknowledged. However, Burnside is also a collector of memoriabilia and other items from the South’s history. This has made him a target on the council to those members not happy with the South’s participation in the Civil War, among other things. It also doesn’t help that he is related to General Burnside from the Civil War. His constituents defend…

Van Noort believes much of the rebuilding of New Orleans into New Market has caused irrepairable environmental damage to the swamp. From one of the more liberal areas of New Market, Van Noor carries her crusade about envrionmental dangers to the council and to the media. If confronted with the facts, however, she turns very vindictive, working for ways to discredit the individual challenging her. She normally succeeds with a…

Mutesa believes in the oppression of the white man, and that oppression has held down her aspirations for higher positions she is more deserving of holding.

Haukea was born of a very poor family, who came to the New Orleans area after the Katrina flood in order to find construction jobs.

He believes he could become the next senator from Louisiana, so has worked to keep his name, and his ideas, in front of the press. Unfortunately, it also exposes him for some poor choices in advisors and other activities that have hurt his chances. Still, if anyone believes in himself any more than Kinver does, they are not in New…
