GARMENTIA
As a lad, Garmentia yearned for the power of invisibility so he could spy on all sorts of naughty doings. He tried frequently. Unfortunately he stayed visible and created inappropriate situations wherever he went. All attempts to be inconspicuous led to greater and greater drama.
And he loved it.
On a night shrouded in secrecy and innuendo, he became the superhero(ine) Garmentia, with the ability to be outrageous in any and all circumstances and to turn the most innocent of events into fabulous scandal.
His/her secret power? S/he can see anyone naked. At any time. This is a mixed blessing.
We can get no details on the change from his modest if sneaky boyhood to his superheroine status. Speculations range from an unfortunate tantric energy exercise and electrical toy incident to a legendary rendezvous with Divine backstage at a John Water’s film festival. Garmentia will not tell. But he is happy to let you speculate.
Garmentia really wanted minions, not sidekicks. Sidekicks are cursed with free will and personality. Instead, he got The Fixer and K-O-Tique. The Minion Guild is such trouble nowadays.
Is Garmentia a superhero(ine) or a villain(ness)? Hmph. Such distinctions are meaningless in the modern world.
THE FIXER
The Fixer spent her youth yearning to be in the right place at the right time, with all eyes upon her. When the doorman at Roppongi Rebel scoffed at her attempts at underage entry, she vowed revenge. She studied with the best PR people, but found her true powers while on red-carpet assignment for E! TV. She was able to meet and greet the best and most scandalous people as if by magic. When her fellow paparazzi grew jealous, she set off on her own.
The Fixer is the ultimate concierge. She can telekinetically find and reserve the best seats in the house, gain entry to the most exclusive clubs, magically supply reservations and get celebrity introductions. She requires and gets the most VIP of treatment. Above all, she demands that extreme attention will be paid.
Her secret power is the ability to cause drunkenness in others with a single glance. It’s very convenient.
Now, Garmentia is an excellent client. All that outrageousness makes for excellent scandal, and there’s always a picture or 5 to sell to the tabloids. But the Fixer has no fixed loyalties. She’ll work with Garmentia as long as it’s fun and profitable, but if she gets a better deal that bitch is toast.
K-O-TIQUE
K-O-Tique made sparks at a very early age. She was scarred from a childhood full of tight, uncomfortable hairdos and scratchy fancy clothes. As soon as she could, she fought back. In her early teens, she found she could make buttons pop, zippers unzip and cause little flash fires in hems and hair using only the power of her mind.
Hilarity and chaos ensued.
She was inspired and fascinated by the Michael Jackson Pepsi incident, and vowed to make wardrobe malfunctions throughout the world. Preferably with very large audiences.
She feeds on chaos, inappropriate attention and (of course) fire. Burning Man and Lightening in a Bottle are fine, but all the flames are expected. That’s just boring. She prefers making ordinary public incidents into spectacular failures, since it’s much better drama.
Of course she can spontaneously ignite. She just hates what it does to her hair.
Why does she hang out with Garmentia? They just look so good together.
