Who Are The Deadly 8?I think the more useful question would be who
were the deadly 8, considering all of them are deceased. By any conventional standards none of them actually exist. But I'm guessing you are the type who doesn't fall for this answer anymore. In short they are group of very powerful assasins. Said to be so good that they often kill their targets more than once, so they dont make a nasty habit of coming back.
What do they do?What all assasins do, kill for money. Except because of them being not of the mortal world anymore, regular currency is no good to them, instead they are paid with
memories something that is very valuable to those who have passed on, especially if its been a long time. Memories to an fallen being are stronger than any drug, the ability to recall times from their former life and experince them in small doses if only for a short period of time. But the cost of such rewards is very high, these asassins only take jobs of the more
supernatural nature.
What's that picture of the room?Oh well thats where you will find 7 of the 8 at any time. This might be hard to explain, but they actually all share
one body, the Deadly 8 are simply all just spirit personas and can only inhabit their collective vessel one at a time. Meanwhile the other 7 relax in the 'Penthouse' which is actually a form of limbo that is just outside of the afterlife. The spirits get to enjoy expensive cocktails and jazz music while whoever is in the living vessel does all the work. They will 'swap' in and out depending on who is most useful for the situation. Terribly interesting stuff.
What are their powers?Apart from being very skilled killers? Not much actually, you wont see too many supernatural feats from these assasins, they are very much tied to their human way of doing things. But they have the ability to kill/seal away undead spirits and etheral entities using their weapons. They are each equippied with some sort of firearm and a melee weapon. These have ability to stun, damage and ultimately kill anyone and anything of any plane of existance, but only when used
together in combination.
What is their next mission?\i'm so glad you asked, we actually just got an inquiry this night.
