NetMafia: 'Vivarte' Family

'Vivarte' Family
(Primary Function: Revolution. Vivarte houses the more noble members of the NetMafia who are more concerned with ousting the "corrupt" NetPolice than anything else. Every so often "conversion" operations will be performed, where family members infiltrate the NetPolice to turn young recruits towards the truth and the real just cause. Combat ability is important in this family, since joining means declaring war on any and all NetPolice officers.)

Element: Normal
Subtype: Summon

Appearance

Chic is a slender female navi with a model-like figure, thrown off by a slightly less gracefully large bust size that is accounted for and downplayed in many of her .GMOs. Her original model has sandy blond hair, somewhat vacant looking blue eyes, and a green artist's cap with thick, nerdy looking overalls. A short pencil is held in place with a small clip just above her earguards and her overalls are filled with outfit plotting materials. Her gloves and boots are a shabby brown color, as is her belt, which holds her navi symbol. Her undersuit is black and worn with most of her outfits.

Personality

Chic is by nature a very aloof, self-absorbed navi, not wholly unlikable but with a definite personality disorder. While she is extremely confident and egotistic in any .GMO, devoting herself wholly to her fashion persona, she has no self-confidence while in her original form and finds herself homely and unworthy of attention. For some reason, she cannot come up with new fashions unless she is in her original form. She has a very healthy (for the mafia) dislike of the Netpolice and enjoys taunting them in various ways. She's fairly good at taking orders but hesitates to kill anyone who is not part of her objective to take revenge upon the Netpolice. She is competent, but somewhat hard to deal with due to her attitude while in .GMOs. She almost never allows herself to be seen without one on.

Custom Weapons

Chic throws a very fashionable shoe at one of her opponents. Throws it especially hard upon charge.
Name: SentaiRed.EXE
Position: Vivarte Family Rank 5
Element: Fire
Subtype: Summon

Appearance

In traditional Super Sentai fashion, SentaiRed is garbed in a skin-tight and altogether too revealing jumpsuit. SentaiRed is well built, with defined yet not bulky muscles, giving him a lean appearance. His head is encased within a helmet befitting of his name, covering the entirety of his skull in a combination of plastic, glass and metal. At the top of his head, above each eye, there are two intake ducts that allow for both breathability and circulation. Adorning the middle of his forehead is a pentagonal crest, sporting two long triangular pieces of metal to form a V above his eyes. Beneath the crest is a field of tinted glass, forming large "goggles" that fill the area directly below the V shape from the temples to his cheekbones, a curved edge along the bottom making the panes of glass appear like a giant pair of pointy sunglasses. Where his eyes would actually be are two white trapezoids, warped to give the semblance of eyes. The helmet splits where laugh lines would appear on a normal person, revealing a sheet of gray metal that has been shaped into a replica of a closed mouth set in an inscrutable expression. White gloves with black trim around the cuff are worn upon his hands, the cuff of which ends about halfway up his forearm. Boots decorated in a similar fashion can be found on his feet, ending about mid-calf. Around his waist is an ornately decorated belt which features his symbol, the crest and curved pieces of glass that are located on his helmet. On his back is a golden circle that houses a decal of a ball of fire. Oddly, the fireball appears to move on its own accord, giving the appearance that a living flame is forever burning upon the back of this hero. SentaiYellow and SentaiBlue are dressed in a similar manner, though SentaiYellow's suit is cut to better show her figure and also features a skirt, while SentaiBlue's is cut to show off his impressive musculature. Upon each of their backs is an image of a lightning bolt for SentaiYellow and a tidal wave for SentaiBlue.

Personality

SentaiRed has the staple heroic personality, but it's been so twisted by his madness that what he deems as "heroic" is hard to mistake for "monstrous" in some cases. To make matters even more complicated, SentaiYellow and SentaiBlue each have their own hold on the Navi's psyche, personifying almost anything that falls under their stereotype. SentaiRed fervently fights for what causes he finds just, though his warped view of the world makes him easily manipulated to do things such as steal experimental or rare chips in the name of the Mafia ("You have to liberate these powerful weapons from the vile fiends who possess them now. And should you delete a couple while you're doing it, the world will be wiped clean of their evil taint", etc.). In combat he is relatively straightforward, attacking with all his might to "defeat evil." SentaiYellow is the cheerleader of the group, always offering uplifting phrases and a hug to whoever on the team seems to need it the most. She's madly in love with SentaiRed, oftentimes referring to him by his "real" name rather than his "hero" one. She represents SentaiRed's empathy and compassion. On the darker side of her personality, however, she is manipulative and conniving, occasionally playing along with SentaiBlue's advances in an attempt to see how far SentaiRed would go to please her. The fact that half the time SentaiBlue knows this is the case and continues to antagonize his friend and rival only exacerbates the situation. SentaiBlue is eager to pit himself against SentaiRed, either in terms of leadership or physical prowess, yet he is always there to back 'Red up when things look dire. He plays the role of SentaiRed's best friend and biggest rival. The darker side of his personality portrays him as a backstabber, however, as he is often seeking to undermine SentaiRed and either take the team or take the girl. Countless fights have been had between the two and yet SentaiBlue still manages to bring out the best in 'Red. All of this infighting between the various factions of SentaiRed's mind often serves only to distract him in his dealings, but when the three work together, SentaiRed becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Custom Weapons

Red Lightning: A crimson sword, quick as lightning itself, that carries out the will of SentaiRed as though it were an extension of his arm. The blade has a line down the center, which allows it to split into two separate pieces as they move to the side of the cross guard, revealing a socket for attachment to Yellow Avalanche.

For the sake of description, SentaiYellow and SentaiBlue's weapons will be described here as well, even though they aren't actual Navis.

Yellow Avalanche: A gigantic, two handed war-hammer featuring yellow highlights across the hammerhead, the grip, and a hook at the bottom, and silver coloring everywhere else. Embedded within its head is the core of a powerful laser cannon whose full potential is unlocked when Yellow Avalanche is combined with the other Chromatic Weapons.

Blue Tornado: A length of weighted chain featuring three large blades, two at each end and one in the middle. Each blade features a ring that can lock with the others where they connect with the chain and the whole apparatus can be combined into a single large, three-bladed shuriken. The entirety of the Blue Tornado is ice cold to the touch and, when combined with Yellow Avalanche, serves as the cooling system to the Chromatic Blaster by a combination of its own innate coldness and the fanning design it takes when attached.
Name: WaspMan.EXE
Position: Vivarte Family Rank 4
Element: Wood
Subtype: Wind

Appearance

-WaspMan's head resembles an ordinary human head wearing what would seem like a yellow combination between a cliche aviator's helmet and a cliche Navi's helmet. His most prominent features is two large, black antennae that form an upside down L-shape on the front-top of his head, and half-spherical red goggles that protect his eyes, as well as giving everything they envelop a reddish tint. If he ever removed the goggles, you could see that his eyes are a golden color, but this almost never happens.
-His arms are covered in thin black armor, with yellow gloves. The lack of weaponry and other features make them relatively uninteresting.
-His body is almost entirely black, including the vest he often wears, which features the emblem on his chest; a wasp abdomen with a large stinger. Of greater note is his back, which contain large, translucent wings. While thin, they're virtually indestructible.
-WaspMan's legs follow the coloring scheme of his arms, with yellow boots and black everything else. Since he prefers flying to walking, they're no thicker than his arms, either.
-Perhaps his most noticable attribute is his tail, which less resembles a tail than a wasp's abdomen. Unlike the rest of him, it features alternating yellow and black stripes as opposed to solid yellow or black. After a thin extension of a few inches (which grants it enough flexibility to sting an enemy directly in front of him), it widens into a full-fledged abdomen for a good 18 inches. However, this is often overlooked, in favor of the 10 inch yellow stinger on the end.

Personality

WaspMan is a nature lover, and wishes to see the Net become like the wilds of the real world. However, he isn't content with one or two areas; he desires the entire Net to lose its high-tech motif to become more natural; forests, plains, and even deserts. This is, in fact, why he elected to join the NetMafia, as he sees the NetPolice as defenders of the Net's 'anti-nature'.

WaspMan's defining non-physical trait is his short temper. In fact, he has attacked and even deleted Navis for such infractions as saying he looked silly. However, he's usually slightly more patient with allies, and will let one or two insults slide before introducing them to his stinger. In battle, he prefers to keep his distance, using his speed to confuse and perform aerial raids on foes.

Custom Weapons

Normal Attack- Vespa Needle: WaspMan shoots his stinger at an enemy.

Charge Attack- Gust Toss: WaspMan kicks up a wind, triggering dirt or other debris to fly towards an enemy. Mainly used to add insult to injury to Navis he especially dislikes.
Name: BanditMan.EXE
Position: Vivarte Family Rank 3
Element: Normal
Subtype: Cursor

Appearance

BanditMan is a tall, brown-skinned man with thick brown hair going back over his skinsuit in a curly mullet. He's got a decent muscle tone but still a very thin body. His eyes are brown, always drooping a little lazily. Many recognize him by his pencil-thin mustache, split across his upper lip. He's got an easy-going smile and teeth that are comically gapped in the center, but some think that also adds to his charm. His clothing consists of a stiff sombrero and poncho (both with white zig-zag designs over stark brown) and a tan suit on underneath. A dark brown undersuit seems to be underneath all of that and rises up to his white ear-guards, bearing the symbol of a head wearing a sombrero.

Personality

BanditMan is an easy-going guy ordinarily, but a very hard worker when he puts his mind to it. His personal mantra, although he doesn't like to talk philosophy, is that everyone works best when they work towards their own self-interest. At the same time, however, he considers chivalry in his own self-interest and is very polite to women. He's quite the softy when it comes to women and children. He sees the Netpolice as his natural enemies, due to the fact that his "self-interest" includes become rich through crime. He won't hesitate to injure NP, but he's the kind who would rather see his enemy run than finish them off. He has an accent that causes him to miss a lot of plurals and cut endings off of some words. BanditMan likes to fancy himself a Zorro-like hero of the Netmafia, opposing the law but for the good of the nation (in this case, protecting everyone's rights to pursue self interest).

Custom Weapons

A revolver with no special characteristics.
Name: Teza.EXE
Position: Vivarte Family Rank 2
Element: Elec
Subtype: Shield

Appearance

Teza is of average height for a female, and has a slim build. She has a feminine face, which is often not complimented by her severe look. She has a bad habit of keeping it this way, though when she is concerned, relieved, or in another way brought into other emotions, her face can look surprisingly kind. She has a fairly dark skin tone, which keeps her looking perpetually tan.

Her hair is unnaturally blonde, which would better be described as Yellow. It is long, but pulled back into a ponytail. Thanks to the magic of freedom of design and a lack of reality to limit it, her pony tail is shaped like a lightning bolt arcing backwards from her head.

Her eyes are a light green color, though this isn't always evident. While her eyes are perfectly visible outside of battles or missions, they are covered when Teza gets serious.

This eye covering stretches from ear to ear, across her head. It ends with round ear covers shaped like her Navi Emblem. The rest of the thing is formed from a glass like substance, shaped like a visor or headband, which is convenient as those are the rolls it takes. Outside of battle it is flipped above her head, as a headband, during battle it covers her eyes as a visor.

Her upper body is covered by a yellow shirt, tight enough to be easily mistaken for a Navi bodysuit at first glance. The sleeves change this, extending longer than absolutely necessary, and flaring somewhat at the ends. On her chest her Navi emblem appears once more.

Below the waist her ensemble is swaps back to black. She wears black short shorts, but beyond that most of her upper leg is revealed. After the knee is another story; she wears knee-high black leather boots, completely concealing all skin.

Personality

Teza is outgoing, dedicated, and proactive. She is willing to go out of her way to get what she wants, and usually won't stop until she gets it.

She can be a bit of a hot-head, often getting frustrated with people over minor things. Though she'll often refuse to speak to people, or grumble, her temper rarely leads to rash actions, as Teza is goal oriented enough to understand that storming off won't get her anywhere.

She is loud, and some find her obnoxious. She is excited and dedicated to what she believes in, and in talking about things like this she can get abrasive.

Despite her rather unladylike manner, she considers herself sufficiently girly, and dislikes the fact that many turn her into another guy. This is a source of frustration for her. It also may cause jealousy when others ogle more feminine females. Other feminine traits she lacks include curves, which can also make her feel self-conscious.

Her speech is slightly rough, though in normal circumstances she can refrain from saying offensive or impolite things. It mainly comes out in times of stress or battle.

On the other hand, she is far from unkind. She is friendly, and dislikes seeing others troubled. She is almost aggressively helpful, and has modeled herself into a kind of Super-Heroine, going out of her way to help those who can't help themselves.

She is also caring, and will show concern for those who seem troubled, or the injured.

She has a soft spot for children and the innocent. While she will go to great lengths to accomplish her goals, she will not do anything to knowingly harm someone who she doesn't think deserves it. She'll protect bystanders, regardless of the risk to herself, and won't go through with anything that involves harming innocents.

Custom Weapons

As is implied by her name (assuming you've been pronouncing it right), Teza fights using Tasers. She fires them out of her sleeves, where they are presumably attached to her at some point, and pours electricity into her opponent for damage.
Name: Wraith.EXE
Position: Vivarte Family Rank 1
Element: Normal
Subtype: Bug

Appearance

Wraith stands at around 5'4" and has a slender body build fit for a hard-worked assassin. She has a round, feminine face with short, dark hair, bangs covering a gleaming purple, left eye while a stereotypical black leather eyepatch covers the other. She usually wears a tattered-looking, hooded cloak over a black, full bodysuit. The coat itself seems to flicker in and out of existence, seeming to hide Wraith herself as it disappears. A simple black leather belt with a silver buckle is strapped around her waist with a scabbard attached to it above her left hip. A rapier with a golden hilt and an ivory white blade is sheathed there in non-combat situations.

Personality

Wraith is very quiet in public unless she's with people she knows. She speaks very slyly and is prone to overreacting to the most ridiculous things. Wraith is quite serious on missions and believes that any orders from the higher ups can be followed through by her no matter what the situation, so she's quite prideful. Wraith is very adaptable and will easily accept suggestions from her allies if she thinks they're the best thing to do in the situation.

Custom Weapons

A rapier with a golden hilt and an ivory white blade. Just slash and poke to the best of her efforts. When focusing her power, Wraith can thrust forth a demonic projection at the opponent.
Name: OrbitMan.EXE
Position: Vivarte Family Assistant Leader
Element: Normal
Subtype: Shield

Appearance

OrbitMan is an immense navi, far larger than a normal navi, who hangs ominously in the sky and casts a great shadow beneath him. His body resembles a cylindrical satellite with panels to collect energy fanning out from both sides. Long, black, metal rods extend out of his body at various places, each topped with a flashing red light. Debris, meteorites, and other space rubble spin in constant orbitals around his massive body. At the base of the satellite is his face with two weary looking eyes framed by metal and something vaguely resembling a mouth with clenched teeth (in reality, this is an array of flashing white panels). His navi symbol, a simple gray on black satellite design, is displayed on the rear of the satellite.

Personality

OrbitMan's deep, booming, robotic voice demands the respect of all who listen to him. A veteran of the mafia, OrbitMan has existed since what he fondly recalls as "the Old Mafia," where the mafia only implied their willingness to resort to killing rather than their active intent. He is very old fashioned in all of his views. Some of the Vivarte family look up to him as a father. He is extremely displeased with the mafia as it stands, particularly with the Bloodhound family. While his personality seems very cold, he does not kill needlessly, and holds strong to his opinion that the goal of the mafia should be profit and not mayhem. Unlike the majority of the Vivarte family, he does not actually hate the NP and would rather avoid confrontation with them by any means necessary.

Custom Weapons

OrbitMan's regular weapon ignites a very thin beam from one of the rods protruding from his body. If he charges, the beam will lock on, intensify, and unleash devastating power.
Name: Jacques.EXE
Position: Vivarte Family Leader
Element: Fire
Subtype: Shield

Appearance

Jacques stands a somewhat imposing 6'5" net equivalent, sporting dark brown hair combed to look well-kept, but not overdone. His face is slightly tanned and moderately rough-featured, as though chiseled by someone actually GOOD at it, and he sports heavy-lidded, blue eyes. The rest of his body is the same tan color and reasonably muscular.
Though he sports several GMOs to blend in and avoid Netpolice officials when necessary, he has a normal outfit consisting of a loose-fitting long-sleeve shirt and pants, printed with the same green and yellow design as NormalNavi armor, muted slightly so as not to stand out. The pants tuck into knee-length brown boots, and a black sash wraps around the stomach of the shirt. Jacques also wears a pair of brown fingerless gloves and a brown coat that falls halfway down his thighs. Aside from the coat, all of Jacques' clothes are tattered, though held together enough for them to not become distracting. Also, rather than appearing damaged by battle, they merely appear worn out from time and living rough.
Strapped to the inside of Jacques' coat is a pistol in the design of an 18th century flintlock.

Personality

Despite being a NetMafia family head, Jacques is a surprisingly reasonable guy. He dislikes violence when it is unnecessary and will always listen to an opponent's side if they try to settle a fight with words rather than fire. In fact, he prefers it this way, and tends to respect opponents who approach him as such more than those who, upon deeming him an enemy, would immediately act to kill him. Despite this, he recognizes the place of violence, and will employ it without hesitation when he deems it necessary.
Despite being the leader of a Mafia family, Jacques recognizes himself, and the NetMafia in general, as underdogs in their feud against the long-established order of the NetPolice. Thus, his preferred style of employing negotiation and necessary violence is suited to fit: revolution. Rather than charging into battle, Jacques is the kind of navi likely to be seen as an organizer and leader. He tries to know other navis he meets, even the lowest of the low, personally, so that he may see how to convince them to join his cause and lead them effectively or, if they are decidedly enemies, how to either sway them away from their original path or, if necessary, bring them down. To this end, he is charismatic and emotional, perhaps too much so. But he is also a strategist. After all, a revolution cannot be won without a plan.

Custom Weapons

A recreation of an 18th century pistol.
