Welcome to New Market

Sadashiv was given his position after the second destruction of New Orleans. Resented due to his nationality being similar to the conservative Governor, Sadashiv has decided to allocate and run the fire department as his own personal fiefdom. He has ignored many orders from the mayor and the council, and is seen by many as a loose cannon. However, since he’s been in his position, fires have been tended to…

Ben-Menachen has not led a charmed life, but she does the best as she can with what she’s handed. When she was assigned to one of the most anti-Semetic cities in the United States, she took it in stride. Ben-Menachen did not make it to the city before its destruction. Since then, however, she has very publically tried to ally herself with the vision of Lightfinger and has worked to…

Bassaro’s family was always tied to the New Orleans Mafia, who used to rule the city with an iron fist. However, Bassaro did not want to follow in those footsteps, as he idolized the heroes helping the citizens around the country. Since he had no powers, he instead decided to go through the police academy. He was such a model student, he caught the eye of the United States federal…

Tambo believes criminals are all products of the system. He uses the resources of his office to fight against ‘the man’ who continues to oppress. This has made him very popular with the criminal element in the city, as well as the lower classes who are oblivious to the truth of the matter. Tambo despised Stevens particularly, and the DA’s crusade to clean up the city. Tambo sees it as…

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…

Abba is another rarity, a successful black Republican who actually was able to get elected. Abba is concerned about the family, as his was broken up while fleeing South Africa during the fighting between the Zulus and the ANC. Since coming to America, his family has worked in the oil business and have become quite wealthy. The race-baiters on the council do not know what to make of him, since…

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…
