Since Angilaka is there, out of curiousity, how would Host or Noria fit in? Since it’s a detective/noir theme, would any other characters be involved like Batman, the deathwatch and so on?
Host: She’s either part of the same broad paladin-esque organization Audrey is from, or a roaming heroine who gets called into the action after a suitably nasty moment where the Society’s cover is blown and people who disapprove of their actions get a chance to intervene. This might be a good chance to make use of her at her most powerful, combining both extremely potent magical knowledge in a body composed of thousands of individual robots, each one castng magic proficiently as a single unit. She would appear in this advanced nanobot body, as well as a small army of networked robots each suited to a specific purpose, and finally the cute green nanobot-slime body you like in particular! She would come and join the hero group to defend poor Tia and her family.
Noria: Perhaps she’s a partner of Audrey in this situation and she joins up as an investigator, to handle the stuff he can’t and encourage the old bot to relax a bit. His health ain’t looking too good and she worries about him!
some other OCs of interest:
Salmave: She serves the Society as someone they have need of; a powerful gadgeteer who can create the weapons they require, who is smart enough to understand the possibilitties of monster parts, interested enough to deal with the dangers, and disinterested enough in politics to not care about what the brass are doing with the stuff. She’s unethical and mostly in it because its her job, but she’s unaware of what they’re actually doing or that she’s giving them the weapons to deal with harmless beings. The question is, are her morals enough to overrule the potential their body parts have for her creations? Mad scientists suffer a compulsion, after all.
Brainlord: As mentioned before, and I’m willing to retool her, but in brief, she was the original leader of the Pequod Society back when its intended purpose was to contain monsters and extradimensional entities, ensure they were of no real threat, and understand them if possible, and destroy them if there was no alternative. She gave the initial okay on making use of the body parts of the ones they did kill, but she left out of disgust when the Society became something more selfish and concerned with its own power rather than a containment system. However, no one knows her present location, and Tiashar herself may be the very best breeding partner she’s ever want for the ultimate dream goal: the recreation of extinct life forms.
Rubicon: a REALLY old OC, back when i was first starting to write, and one that never actually made it into my fics at all. He’s a robot employed by the Society as a hunter, an often cruel and indifferent bastard of a bot who enjoys testing himself against these threats, and regards them as monsters to be slain, and nothing more. he’s not comfortable with Edhitha’s level of personal obsession, though, and he has no personal enmity with Tia.
----
Batman: This more low-key stuff is pretty much his main focus in Crossthicc! Batwoman handles the big stuff, while Bruce tends to more street crime things, and an out of control monster hunting society would definitely need to be curbed. He would probably function more as an element the Society desperately wants kept away, as while he is dangerous enough, he has friends like Kal-El who would pose a MASSIVE threat to their plans... among which, require that no one realize what they’re up to, the extent of their plans or the corruption in leadership.
Deathwatch: Technically, they would have a similar job to the Society. They’re an elite group from the Coalition from many of the Primarch worlds, banding together to face unique threats and hidden dangers no one else is equipped to handle, and noted to take on anyone from any faction if they can prove themselves worthy. They take pride in being apolitical and favor no faction when it comes to defense. They regard the Society as poor pretenders, however, and amateurs messing around with very dangerous stuff. They would be VERY alarmed at their use of consuming and empowering themselves with monster parts, as this is VERY dangerous to do. Possibly the Society’s biggest fear is bringing down the wrath of the Deathwatch, and Audrey’s plan? To convince the Deathwatch the Society must be curbed, no matter the cost.
