[edit] Personality
Alicia Barzini was always competitive, risking everything to get to the top, no matter who got hurt along the way. However, she still knew how to have fun, a dance-floor wildcat at parties. After her death and resurrection however, she lost all sense of fun and innocence. Instead, she is now filled with all manners of dark desire. Lust, death, pain and suffering.
[edit] Weaknesses
Dark Pistol's bond with the Netherworld is the source of her monstrous strength but also her main weakness. She cannot survive without it.
[edit] Motivation
Dark Pistol is motivated solely by the insurmountable pleasure she derives from watching people's lives crumble. She would murder a mother just to watch the child bleed tears. She would set a house on fire just to hear the family scream in agony. She would have cities destroyed so she could hunt and murder the inhabitants as they flee. Such is her evil.
[edit] Powers
- Energy Fields: Alicia Barzini is able to create bubbles of energy that can entrap, suffocate or protect. The energy is invisible and its size, shape and intensity vary greatly. It is often confused with telekinesis as it can achieve similar results, i.e energy flight.
- Dark Miasma: The demon souls of Nasfahtu sealed inside Alicia Barzini have this deathly power of the Netherworld. The darkness can instantly petrify the foe or strike fear into the hearts of men. With greater concentration, the darkness can swallow an entire room, stripping it off all light. In this situation, it is possible to tear open great big holes into the Netherworld, to swallow a group of foes, travel across space or summon forth the souls of Nasfahtu. The dark energy channeled from the Netherworld can weaken or kill organic matter, however the darkness could also be used to revive or heal evil people.
[edit] Limitations
Pistol is limited to her inherent abilities and can only call upon the powers of the Netherworld at night. Although she is a living dead, she can actually be destroyed if her faith in the souls of Nasfahtu is broken.
[edit] Equipment
The flintlock pistol of Nasfahtu is almost 400 years old. Somehow, the gun does not actually lock and load and instead of gunpowder, the ammunition is propelled by the demon's dark miasma. The ammunitions are also pellets of dark energy, capable of killing instantly. The mystical gun releases both single shots and multi-directional fire but its dark power is easily resisted by strong will and the bullets do little smashing damage.

[edit] Prisonbreak
Alicia Barzini, an ex-hero and daughter of mafia boss Antonio Barzini of The Family is set to spend time in prison, but outside forces have other plans for her and her in-mates. Read The Gang/Prisonbreak for the full story of the incident, May 25th 2006.
Quote: "They call us criminals, they label us a threat to society and throw us into confinement. They feed us horse-shit and force us to drink murky water. They nullify our powers and suppress our magnificence with lethal injections. They treat us like dirt and spit at our feet, they call us ugly because we come as lizards, wolves, aliens and demons. Why? Because they are afraid. They are scared of our visions, our overwhelming will to accomplish our various goals. Some of you simply want a home, some want a family, others, like me, have plans for the nation entire. Heck, some of you geniuses wish to rule the world; you have pre-meditated the better ways in which this planet should be run.. Others live on destruction, perhaps you simply enjoy the death of all that is weak and frankly, worthless. Pfft! They call it villainy. I call it evolution. Survival of the fittest. Look around you now. We stand before the night, our pride unblemished, our powers restored. Why? Simple. Because we are the stronger of two opposite forces. Down there, lies your example. Every time the weak dares to challenge the strong, they are constantly thwarted in shame. My fellow inmates, our time has indeed come, because we are now free. However, I ask that we stay together. It is not by coincidence that we have come to the aid of one another, but by fate. Let us all share our cause and help in its execution. We are thugs, there is no doubt about it but together, we are impervious as steel armour, we can rule with an iron fist. Deep inside each and every one of us lies a special ability that could contribute to the perfection of this armour. As one, we are unstoppable! A brutal wave of steel, a juggernaut of masterminds! Right now. Right here. Let us form a pact. Let us form a gang that will shake this world with fear. As one, we shall dominate all and conquer what we wish. Are. You. With me?!"
[edit] Reign of Terror
After establishing status over the past year, members of The Gang retired their guns to enjoy their stolen wealth, and begin the life of political power, often revisiting their violent personalities to protect their positions. The following events occur in April of 2007. Read The Gang/Reign of Terror for the full history.
Quote: “The operation is simple” said Pistol, addressing the armed mob. “You go in, kill everything in sight, destroy their precious new super-weapon and get out”. An explosive clip somersaulted graciously through the air, it approached a large metal gate and just as it collided with steel, a trio of gleaming bullets struck it hard, triggering a small explosion so powerful, the steel gate crumpled and fell with a loud clang. An army of bionetically modified punks stood and glared at the invading gang. “The gang is here!” screamed the mob, marching into the ranks of the Freakshow “Everybody cower in fear” came the follow-up line, ushering in a storm of gunfire. An enforcer whips out his dual machine guns and sprays down a line of steel-clad freakshow, tree punks leap out from behind him; one wielding a machete, he runs directly into a tall freakshow and slices him in the knee, and as the man bent over in agony, the thug leaps into the air and brings the knife down on his neck. The second thug swung an axe in an arc, slicing a freakshow in half; he follows through on the momentum and spins with the axe, taking out another freakshow who ran in from the back. The boy must have been sixteen, yet the fireman’s axe was deadly in his hands, continuing with the same momentum, he had built up enough speed to flip himself over, axe first; as he lands back on his feet; he brings the axe in over his head and strikes a tank swiper across the forehead with immense force. The third kid brandished a magnum, sniping away at every metal-armoured freak that came his way. One tried to sneak up on him, he was welcomed with a pistol-whip that sent him flying across the floor.
[edit] Death of Alicia
Alicia Barzini has become a fugitive and now flees to start a new life in the Virtue Universe but the Militia are close behind her! Read Pistol/Death of Alicia for the full story.
Quote: "... Our main story tonight; the notorious Pistol, leader of the criminal syndicate known as The Gang was identified earlier this morning as former heroine Kinasis, member of the Vindicators" read the female spokeswoman with fiery red hair. "Her real name is Alicia Barzini, daughter of the Mafia mob boss Antonio Barzini and founder of the Axifam charity organisation..." Focusing on co-ordinating a dimensional machine while following the news, with precious time to spare seemed a mundane act for Alicia as she bites down on the spine of the manual to utilise both her hands. "... with a $40,000 bounty placed on her name" the reading continued. "However, extreme caution is advised; Pistol has been declared super-powered and super-dangerous... News just in! The legendary Evangel has located the fugitive to Steel Canyon University..."
[edit] Birth of Evil
Only a week after Halloween, a deadly villain is brought back from the dead and an evil demon is unleashed upon the world. Read Pistol/Birth of Evil for the full story.
Quote: A moment passed and the chanting of the assembly grew so loud Emil could not hear himself speak. Suddenly, the darkness began to take the familiar shape of Alicia Barzini. Her body looked younger than he remembered, her face was flawless and her skin was deathly pale. In her hands were two flint-lock pistols, their golden bodywork glimmering in the firelight, every inch of gold was engraved with demonic hieroglyphics.
“We are the souls of Nasfahtu, for a hundred years this woman shall be our animated host, to bring death and destruction to the living world.”
“Interesting” said Emil, now standing directly on the edge of the pit. “Problem is; that doesn’t exactly fit well with the plans I had in mind.”
[edit] Origins of Damsel
A new mutant arrives on the scene and spells some romantic interest in Pious' broken life. Read The Priest/Origins of Damsel for the full story.
Quote: “Do you fear death, Pious?” asked Alicia, now hovering directly in front of her victim. “I wouldn’t think you did, being immortal and all. However, the people around you aren’t. That’s why you live alone, in solitary, ever since the Princes of Hell made you the top most wanted soul. Now I have you. Aren’t I amazing?”
“I have no-one" said the Priest. "No-one you can hurt to get to me, she was killed to resurrect you, and as it seems, you really have become immortal, but not without vulnerability.” A sudden flash of light as intense as the sun swept the planet, then the immediate area around the Priest began to compress inwards, sucking in the demons like the vacuum of space, then, without warning another flash swept the face of the earth, this time, it was pitch black, momentarily blotting out the sun. As the skies cleared and the sun returned, something metallic sparkled high above the university grounds. It soon became evident the object was falling, fast, towards star student Rachel Grey.
