So here my not one but two hero concepts for Deadlock. I apologize in advance if my English may be weird or wacky.

Count Morganti

Vampires have been known to be one of the greatest enemies of mortal races for generations, viewing them as inferior beings, good only for use as cattle. Touched by immortality and unholy powers, they tend to develop immense arrogance and an eternal thirst for power or simply the pleasure of spilling blood... And then there is the Count Morganti.

This ancient vampire, one of the wealthiest men in New York, is a humble and pleasant philanthropist who makes numerous donations to the poor. In addition, he is the founder of the non-profit organization “For a Better and Magical World,” which promotes understanding between the peoples of the worlds. Little is known about his past, but the Count often speaks of a former lover who
changed his life, as well as a naive promise that he holds dear : bringing peace to the world, both mortal and immortal.

The count Moranti is an mid-ranged offensive support, healing his allies and damaging his ennemies with his unconventional blood magic.

Grey Talon : For an ancient vampire like you who claims to want bringing peace to the world, why haven’t you try to stop the other ones?

Derek

Cursed since childhood with lycanthropy, Derek's youth was filled with misfortune and violence. He had to fight his entire life to survive in a world that wanted to destroy him. But his salvation came when he met his savior, the Count Morganti.

After a fierce battle with the werewolf in the dark streets of New York, the altruistic vampire healed his wounds and cured him of his cursed nature. Unable to understand this selfless gesture, especially coming from a rich and powerful vampire, Derek asked the Count why he had shown one of the rare moments of kindness in his life and how he could repay the favor. The Count Morganti, however, wanted nothing in return. He said that a simple act of generosity can change a person's life and that was enough for him. Upon hearing this, Derek insisted more on thanking his benefactor. The Count then told him about his “promise” to bring peace to the different peoples of the world, and that he could brings his help.

On the Count advices, the werewolf joined New York's supernatural law enforcement without hesitations. And despite the strong distrust towards him, Derek put his heart and soul into his task to bring the vampire Count’s project to fruition.


Derek is a resilient and tough short-ranged brawler, focused of protecting his fragile allies by pushing back theirs aggressors. At the height of fights, he can enter in a berserk rage, wreaking a massive chaos among ennemy ranks.

Drifter
: How is going the old-sport of Count ?
Derek : He’s still disappointed in you…
Drifter : Hehe, he’s still got it.

Derek : After this ritual, I will take care of you…
Drifter : And your lord didn't forbid you from hunting me down?
Derek : He did, but he mentioned to not kill you. Not to stop you by tearing off yours limbs and throwing you in a dungeon.
Drifter : Hoho, that’s quite a program !

---------------------------------------

Grey Talon

Derek :
So...You’re the founder of the Baxter society...
Grey Talon : I am…
Derek : Hum...I guess you have dealt with some people like me…
Grey Talon : Yes….some of them.
Derek : So...what do you think about a guy like me ?
Grey Talon : I’ll let the new generation answer you. It doesn’t important for me anymore.

Derek : You really need my protection? You still seems to be the deadly hunter your reputation tells.
Grey Talon : You want that much to be helpful?
Derek : I’m doing this for my lord.

Derek : Sounds good to me.

---------------------------------------

Holliday

Derek :
I heard the case about your family…
Holliday : I don’t want to talk about it...
Derek : I’m not supposed to tell you that but if we fail the ritual, I think I have a lead on finding the Troubadour.
Holliday : What do you mean?
Derek : The smell….crow, blood, death. A horrible aroma that’s hard to pass unnoticed…
Holliday : And why are you telling me that ?
Derek : Hunting criminals down is part of our job, isn’t it ?
Holliday : Guess I can take this occassion.

Holliday : So, what’s the plan, big guy ?
Derek : How about I push them back and you lit them up in distance?
Holliday : Works for me.

---------------------------------------

Ivy

Derek :
Don’t worry, if you’re in trouble, I’ll fend them off.
Ivy : And if you’re in trouble, I can take you away from them.
Derek : That sounds a good plan.
Ivy : We’re a great team of lifesaver , aren’t we ?

Ivy : If I understand correctly, you became a cop because of the Count Morganti.
Derek : He adviced me to join the Police Departement.
Ivy: He seems to be a very nice guy, just look all donations he makes for New-Yorkers.
Derek : You have no idea how lucky we are to have The Count among us.
Ivy : Whoa, you’re not hiding your admiration for him.
Derek : Well, without him, I’d be certainly dead now.

---------------------------------------

Paige

Derek
: Do not worry, miss Paige. When the bullets starts flying, my body will protect you !
Paige : W..Wait...what...what did you just say ?!
Derek : Is there a problem ?
Paige : Yes...No...I mean...The way you fervently declare you’ll protect me with your body sounds like a speech of a fairy tales knight to his beloved princess before the climatic battle.
Derek : I’m….just talking about our action plan…
Paige : I’m blushing so hard right now…

Paige : I don’t know if I can ask you those questions because I don’t want to rub salt in the wound..I mean..
Derek : What do you want to know from me?
Paige : Really ? Well, I read many stories about werewolves and they….hum...
Derek : ...tend to finish in a tragic bloody mesh ? Yes, they do….
Paige : Yeah…I won’t say it like this...but I read newspapers about you...being a cop...arresting bad guys...I wonder how do you manage all of this as a...well….werewolf?
Derek : No easy everyday. Not much trust. Frustration can build up. Rage has to be contained. But It doesn’t matter. I keep moving forward.
Paige : That sound tough, but in the same time, It’s very courageous from you.
Derek : Thank you.
Paige : If you want any help, I have some books about relaxation, inner peace, anger management...
Derek : Heh, just support me now. It would be already nice.

(For fun)

Paige : I’m not sure but you seem to avoid looking at me.
Derek : Hum….It’s….a bit embarassing to say…
Paige : It’s about me ? Do I look weird ? My hair ? My glasses ? I know I’m not a stylish but that’s rude..
Derek : It’s not that...It’s just….some parts of your… « exposed-self »...are quite distracting…
Paige : Ho my god ! The first werewolf I ever met in my life is a naughty boy !
Derek : Heh ! I’m not the one exhibiting here!
Paige : Hum….maybe for my next outfit, I should take inspiration from the Red Riding Hood…
Derek : NO !!!

Shiv

Derek :
So, what kind of monster do you guys hunt ?
Shiv : Do you feel targeted?

Shiv : If so, then let’s see if you can follow me.
