Much like my Dark Control page, this page is more of a suggestions & ideas as well as sandbox, though this page is specifically for NPCs and enemy groups.
Arachnos
A bit of reworking to it, I suppose. Basically trying to get the wolf spiders and blood widows on par with the crab spiders/bane spiders and fortunata (respectively).
Uh... writing it in notepad. I'll paste it here eventually!
Contacts/Stores
Elements
The Elements are a group of upstart volunteers with minor superpowers and ex-thugs from the Outcasts, led by a naiive team of heroes. Their main enemies are odd-beat groups like the Praetorians, or high-end jobs that Freedom Corps won't do.
That doesn't mean they won't take a crack at the members of Arachnos, though.
Underling - Proton - Neutron - Electron
Minion - Atom
Lieutenant - Molecule

Elite Bosses - Ionic Bond - Polar Covalent Bond - Covalent Bond
Heroes - S Block - P Block - D Block - F Block
Spider
An idea for a Praetorian Arachnos.
The heroic mirror to Arachnos was started by none other than Praetorian earth's Stefan Richter. As the Praetorians assumed power, Spider became an underground rebellion force against them, gaining members from many other groups which were crushed by Tyrants new regime. It is now one of the last remaining rebellions, right next to the Carnival of Light.
Heroes
- Lord Recluse = Daddy Longleg?
- Captain Mako = ?
- Barracuda = Lamprey?
- Ice Mistral = ?
- The Wretch = ?
Black Scorpion
Ernesto Rodriguez did the world a favor by taking the Black Scorpion Armor on Praetorian earth. His appearence may not be much better than the Black Scorpion of our world, but he's definately more heroic than his brutish counterpart, yet just as strong.

Tail Blast (Small Ranged Cone) Foe Superior Damage(Smashing/Energy), Knockback

- Unknown protective toggle

Black Widow
Belladonna Vetrano the Black Widow, as with Ghost Widow, is a very powerful entity, but did not die in this world. Her soul has no ties to any Mire earths, and thus she relies on her willpower to fight for justice.

Marin
Spider's own Imad Malak is best known to the people as the Marin, and unlike the Scirocco possessed power over cold and ice. It is unknown what Imad found in the tomb of Scirocco, if he found the tomb at all, but his powers are surely granted to him by the djinn Serafina, because he does not possess the ancient sword that Arachnos' Imad does.

Praying Mantis
Tamura Shirai, better known on Primal earth as the Silver Mantis, exists on Praetorian earth as the Praying Mantis. This Tamura is a much more laidback, and disciplined person; though don't think she's not as strong as her other-self, even if her body hasn't been augmented.

Urban Empire
An idea for an end-game thug-type enemy group.
Minions
Punk
These young hotheads are not the brightest bunch, but they are extremely loyal to their 'rightful' leader. This makes them a valuable asset to the Urban Empire which is smart enough, and strong enough, to utilize their talents. The punks' gang-related activities have taught them well, and they are pretty good shots with their pistols.
Weapon: Dual Pistols
Resistance
Punks have no inherent resistances. They do, however, benefit greatly from the leadership of enforcers.

Arsonist
The arsonists probably suffer from some form of pyromania. They likely hide some deep-seeded trauma or have some background of family dysfunction. None of that matters now. The arsonists' only pleasure is to burn things, and people, to the ground.
Resistance (Auto) Self +Resistance(Heat)
Experience Give the Arsonist some resistance to Fire.
Scourge (Auto) Self +Damage(Special)
The arsonist is a dastardly villain indeed. As an arsonist's foe's health wanes, the arsonist can start to land scourge hits with his attack powers for up to double damage. The weaker the target is, the greater chance the arsonist has of landing scourge. Once a foe is weak enough, there is no escaping the arsonist's wrath. An arsonist shows no mercy.
Molotov Cocktail (TAoE) Foe Moderate DoT(Heat)
The arsonist has set you on fire with his molotov cocktail!
Spit Fire (Ranged Cone) Foe Moderate DoT(Heat)
The arsonist has set you on fire with his spit fire!

Lieutenants
Enforcer
A natural leader. In another life, the enforcer could have amounted to something. Never-the-less, younger thugs can learn a lot from him, and are more effective fighters when he is around. He has seen his share of gang wars, and his experience with street weapons is invaluable.
Weapon: Dual Uzis
Resistance (Auto) Self +Resistance(Lethal)
A leather jacket gives the enforcer some resistance to lethal damage.
Maneuvers (Auto)(PBAoE) Ally / Self +Defense(All)

Bosses
Bruiser
These thugs are massive brutes. The bruisers have worked their way through the ranks and have nothing left to prove. They are strong, tough, and have mean tempers.
Resistance (Auto) Self +Resistance(Smashing, Lethal, Heat, Cold, Toxic), +Protection(Confuse, Fear, Placate)
The bruiser is a brute. He has good resistance to lethal and smashing damage and some resistance to heat and cold damage. He is street wise and his training makes him resistant to confusion, fear, and placation. His experience in the elements makes him slightly resistant to toxic damage.

Elite Bosses

Weapon: Dual Pistols
Resistance
Elite Boss resistances.
