Topple the Eepeeyay

This post brought to you by the deus faction post

Setting: The infamous Glittergold city abutted by a very large and recently grown swamp.

Faction: The Eepeeyay, cultists who hate the city and live in the swamp. Experts in camouflage. 

Three members:  

  • Gator, a huge man with an alligator head. On a mission to purify the swamp of city influence.
  • Slough, a former florist who plans to flood Glittergold, to swampify it for its own good. 
  • Lovelace, a scientist.

Their relationships:

  • Gator would eat Slough given half a chance.
  • Slough wants Gator's swampmobile.
  • Lovelace is in love with Gator but has never told him.

Their sources of legitimacy or power: 

Gator has:

  • PERSONAL STRENGTH. Dude is yoked and can tear your arms off. Wears a flak jacket.
  • THOUSANDS OF CROCODILES. He whispers to them and pets them.   
  • THE SWAMPMOBILE. By far the fastest thing in the swamp. Very hard to see when stationary. 

Slough has:

  • TAI CHI. The kind that can snap necks. 
  • FRIENDLY SNAKES. They often carry messages and their bites make you feel fuzzy. 
  • CITY CONTACTS. Unlike most members of the Eepeeyay, Slough talks to people in the city sometimes.

Lovelace has:

  • A HAND CANNON. It's heavy for a pistol but she thinks it looks cool. 
  • FLESH EATING VIRUSES. Resting in petri dishes, they glow green in the dark. 
  • GLASS-IRON WALLS. Transparent walls that section off experimental zones of the swamp.
