TITAN CORP.
"Bringing you a better future today."

The Titan Corporation is a multinational conglomerate based in the Pacific Northwest of the US. The company has its hands in shipping, construction, lumber, energy production (oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power), and chemical manufacturing.

It's run by a multi-billionaire, and financial genius, Lazarus Stone. It currently maintains corporate offices in Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Miami, Houston, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Kansas City, London, and Bonn.

Titan Corporation subsidiaries include:

Titan Shipping - Based in Seattle, WA
Titan Energy Services - Based in Houston, TX
Titan Chemicals - Based in Corpis Christi, TX
Titan Construction - Based in Portland, OR
New Dominion Power - A nuclear power facility in Idaho

The company has been accused of a wide range of crimes including illegal dumping, government kick-backs, bribing politicians, and even murder, but due to its political connections nothings ever stuck. In reality the company is as dirty as it gets. They will due anything to make or save a buck. Lazarus never get personally involved in most of company’s criminal activities, leaving that to his underlings.

Much of the company's dirty work is handled by its Chief of Security, Miles Stevens. Stevens is a former US Army military intelligence officer who was discharged for conduct unbecoming an officer (he was alleged to have been involved in the torture of several terror suspects), but do to his extensive contacts, he was quickly hired by Titan's Office of Safeguards and Security. Within a few short years he'd worked (read bullied, blackmailed, etc.) his way into the Directors position.

Miles has made a lot of enemies on rise to the top, but he literally also knows where all the bodies are buried. His security staff extremely efficient at digging up dirt, and has managed to collect incriminating evidence on a number of high ranking government officials.

Miles is also the company's link with some of the less savory elements they deal with. If there's a problem that can't be dealt with in the normal fashion (bribes, blackmail, of the books campaign contributions, etc.), then Miles will step in an handle it. He's the primary contact with the contract villains on Titan's payroll. He's recently been considering making use of the mercenary firm, MERC, in some of their overseas operations, as certain governments are not quite willing to comply with Titan's global vision or business plan.

The company routinely employs low level villains such as Killshot (think a female version of Deadshot), Jaq & Jill (a male female team of assassins), and Pretty Poison. Jaq’s a former mafia enforcer and semi-pro wrestler who uses drugs to increase his strength, and Jill is a former child prostitute who’s now a skilled acrobat and martial artists. The two are lovers and always work together. Pretty Poison is a very attractive female assassin who uses poisoned fingernails, and a poisonous kiss to kill her victims.

Natalya is a former KGB “Black Widow”. With the end of the Cold War, she wondered Europe until being recruited by Miles Stevens to act as Lazarus Stone’s personal assistant, driver, and body guard. Don’t let her pretty face fool you. She takes her job very seriously, and will deal with any perceived threats quickly and ruthlessly. Many of her victims her let her beauty lull them into a false since of security, only to end up on a slab in the local morgue.

She’s a highly capable martial artist, and crack shot with both her pistol, and the 12-gauge shotgun she keeps in the car. She normally packs plenty of spare pistol mags (better to have it an not need it), and a mix of buckshot and solid slugs for the shotgun. In combat her primary concern is to protect Lazarus from danger, and to ensure his safety at all costs.

Just a quick note, I'll be incorporating the Titan Corporation, Mr. Stone, and his crew into the Center City campaign setting I'm working on.

That's part of her M/O. She uses her "assets" to get close to you, and then take you out with a kiss.

Speaking of poisons, I was thinking that all poisons should have a limited number of charges like devices. I can't think of an example (real or otherwise) that doesn't.

I don't see a reason to limit its uses. How many times is Poison/Venom used during the average game?

Visual wise?

no, not visually: just in terms of the character and what drives her. :>

i'm afraid eliza dushku just doesn't do it for me. willow, OTOH...

Not familiar with the Buffy character, and Pretty Poison is a character that's been sitting in my files since back in the 80's.

Personally, I'm more of a Jolene Blalock man myself. :love031:

Interesting, I'm not sure if your familiar with the old Hero system Supplement: Corporations but it has alot of very useful information for Gm's of any super hero game. Particularly, the sleazy ways corporations can and often do operate.

Who did the picture for Natalya Kevorkov? She's cute, even if the art is a bit animated series-ish.

Somewhere on my External HD I have a pdf of center city 1.0?, not sure where I got it or how long I've had it. I'll have to find it and take a look at it again.

Good work, keep it coming..
