I’m very curious to see your extended impressions of each Slaughterhouse Nine member as they currently stand.
I’m not sure there’s all that much more to say than what I said during the chapter, but let’s think a little more about this nonetheless. If nothing else, at least it’ll be a handy summary.
I wish I knew more about famous murderers. With Jack Slash being blatantly based on Jack the Ripper, it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s a theme running through the entire team, or at least part of it. (I suppose Siberian means the killer doesn’t have to be human to count.)
- Bonesaw: Crazed, unpredictable, violent. Practically a freak magnet as the freaks come to see what she gets up to. Possibly has the power to cut though bodies, like a reverse Faultline. I wonder if she wants to play a game?
- Shatterbird: She usually uses her power publicly to effectively announce the Nine’s presence in the city, and spread fear and terror, so whatever her power is, it’s something that shows.
- Crawler: Not much info given, but from the name and “a misshapen silhouette, not even humanoid”, I think they’re a Changer of some sort.
- Mannequin: Who the fuck is so into body modifications that he lets a teammate cut up his body and use his Tinker tech to hold it together and alive?
- Siberian: Based on Siberian and/or white Bengal tigers. People should really try not to get distracted by her boobs, because if she catches you, she’s probably going to tear you to pieces. Might have the power to actually turn into a tiger… and as I kept telling you when I met the Undersiders almost a year ago, you should always bet on the tiger – as evidenced by her track record against the Triumvirate.
- Burnscar: Fire powers. Pretty much all I know. Possibly triggered by an abusive parent giving her her signature scars.
- Hatchet Face: Best name. Possibly a Brute, not so much protected from attacks as able to take a lot of them. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t use axes. Also, his civilian name might be Johnny.
- Jack Slash: Jack the Ripper. Presumably into
“deep throat slashes, abdominal and genital-area mutilation, removal of internal organs, and progressive facial mutilations”
in particular.
His power lets him basically extend any bladed weapon to swipe at a large area at once. Also acts as a catalyst for something that’s going to bring about the end of the world unless stopped, whether he knows it or not.
