Ok, meet the Death Squad, an extremely morbid super-hero team. The character details are sortof in a flux right now, because I'm still developing them. But here's the ideas right now...

From left to right:

Geist. His name is Johan Muller. In the late 1930's it was hard to be a German immigrant in america. He changed his name to John Miller in order to try and assimilate better. He worked as a private detective; and in a truely heroic effort, he committed an unspeakable act and died in the midst of it. This evil, yet heroic, crime damned his soul to hell and there he remained for over sixty years. Somehow, he made his way out of hell. Somehow, he is a ghost walking the earth. He is able to take a solid form, and he rides a motorcycle (which belonged to him in his life) that is as ghostly as he is. He calls himself Geist, and dedicates himself to the very heroism that damned him in the first place.

Shadow Man. Chris Albright has always wanted to be a hero. He wanted to be one when he joined the police academy, and he wanted to be one when he quit the force. He tried to be one as a private eye, but found himself disappointed by the lack of adventure in the career. So, he decided to put on a mask and stick his nose into organized crime. While he was snooping into a meeting of Yakuza and Italian mobsters, they were exchanging a gift. The Yakuza posessed a box which held a mighty death spirit, a Bakemono. This spirit had been imprisoned and could be forced to kill anyone who it's owner chose. Chris was found out. They shot him many times. He was dying, but decided he'd take these men down with him. He smashed the box and freed the Bakemono. The spirit killed the criminals, and Chris died of his wounds. The spirit intorduced itself as a death spirit, "Or, in your culture, you would call me an angel of death." Chris asked it to show him the way to heaven, but the spirit had other plans. As a reward for freeing him from servitude of evil men, the spirit gauranteed that Chris would always be restored if he was killed. Only if Chris truely wishes to die will his soul ever move on. And so, Chris took on the identity of ShadowMan, the hero that will never stay dead.

Sangria. I haven't figured out very much about her just yet, but I know she's a Mayan shaman. She practices in blood rituals of many kinds, and allows herself to be posessed by the spirits of the dead to empower her with superhuman abilities and to obtain knowlege. She's a badass goth latina chick of partially mayan decent.

Dr. Edward McInnes. He's a Phd. that much I 'm certain. He also had a twin sister. She died when they were only 14, and she's haunted him ever since. They shared a powerful psychic connection when they were children and it continues beyond the grave. He is a psychic of mild power, he can gain flashes of past traumas by touching the ground where the evil happened. He works for a university in the parapsychology department, and he's a famed Ghost-Hunter. Lots of equipment, and lots of funding, because he is one of the few researchers in his field that gets solid scientific results.

The Twin. Her name is never spoken. You see, for a ghost, a name is extremely powerful. It calls them and controls them. So, she has asked her twin brother never to speak her name. He has passed on this message to the rest of the family. She doesn't know why she is still bound to the mortal world, as she has no unfinished business. But she theorizes that maybe it's her brother's strong psychic connection, and she partially blames Edward for her predicament.

So, at some point this misfit bunch become a super team. They fight evil, and they focus a whole lot on death and demons and stuff. I like the idea.
