The Demonic Siblings[]

Legendary to the pits of Hell and its residents, the Phlebiac Brothers were created by The Dark Lord Malebolgia so that they could serve him by bringing souls to Hell and training Hellspawn. The most iconic is the infamous Violator, the elder amongst them and arguably the most powerful. The others include Vacillator, Vandilizer, Vaporizer, Vindicator, and less recognizable ones such as Vertebreaker and Victimizer.

Phlebiac-Panel01

The brothers have had some vicious disputes and turmoil with one another which has often left Malebolgia mediating their contentions. In one of their fights Violator, the elder among them, had aid from Spawn who lent him some of his powers breaking Malebolgia's hold on him and allowing to once again turn back into his demonic form. He then fought his brothers upon his return to Hell. The brothers wanted to get rid of Violator "in the name of the family". Although they do fight a lot they do work together and have even managed to defeat Spawn and trap him in the Dead-Zone using him as an attraction named "Hellspawn Patheticus." Then they took over New York turning it into their own twisted circus... "The Phlebiac Brothers' Pandemonium Circus." Until Spawn eventually escaped and put a stop to them.

Phlebiac-Panel02

After the Apocolypse when Spawn re-wrote the world only Violator managed to escape, leaving his brohers behind in Hell. Realizing the sudden lack of god and Satan he quickly made a grab for power and has been seeking to bring his brothers back to aid him, hoping that at least for now that they can set their family differences aside and take advantage of the current absence of both major heavenly and demonic influence on Earth.

Powers[]

Each of the brothers seems to have some small variations however most are similar to violator in that they all are very strong, very tough, regenerate, can't be killed without there heads being lopped off, have a affinity for necromancy do to their demonic upbringing as well as all the little tricks that come with it (even scrying through blood), etc.

Only a few of the Brothers beyond Violator have been featured fully beyond the short mini-series in the comic so little is known about there other capabilities.


Vandilizer:

Vandalizer

Vandalizer is the largest of the Phlebiac Brothers. Often considered to be the strongest, he is also thought of as the dumbest of the siblings. Vandalizer, however, is still a dangerous foe.

Vandalizer is extremely strong and fast for his massive size, and his lizard-skin makes things worse for his enemies because it is extremely tough and easily repels most attacks.




Vindicator:

Vindicator

Vindicator was created alongside the rest of the Phlebiac Brothers in order to serve the Lord of The Eighth Sphere of Hell, Malebolgia. He has been one of the more active of the siblings because his job was to find potential Hellspawn within the bowels of Hell. It was during one of these scouting missions that he tested the child murderer Billy Kincaid and brought him to Malbolgia where Billy Kincaid was then forcefully made into a Hellspawn.









Roleplaying Statistics[]

CHARACTER INFO:


STRENGTHS:

Despite their highly similar characteristics, each of the Phlebiac Brothers have different strengths and weaknesses because the powers of all their individual stats expand upon one another in order to differentiate them. (Their "base" statistics are given below after their weaknesses are expounded upon.)


WEAKNESSES:

Decapitation is the only way to put the Phlebiac Brothers down (just like Clown and all the other denizens of the Eighth Sphere of Hell). However, this method isn't effective in bringing about a Phlebiac Brother's eternal destruction without the use of a holy weapon. Rather than absolute oblivion, non-holy weapons only send them to Hell – from which with some effort they can return.

____________________

'VANDILLIZER'S ABILITIES:


Demon Form:

Easily three times the size of Violator, the massive Vandillizer is the strongest of the Phlebiac Brothers (as stated earlier) because this form increases his physical attack to Awesome(9D19D). In addition, he is covered in impenetrable lizard-like scales which increase his physical and energy defense to Amazing(5d10).


-Grab: When in this form and physically attacking with his hands, the Vandillizer may also choose to grapple his victim, but as a result, this leaves him at risk to a severe vulnerability in his physical defenses,

--Tear in Two: The Vandillizer will grapple his victims and often attempt to tear them in half. This increases his physical attack to Unearthly(1D100).


Necromancy: (Ty:1D6)

All muscles and no brains, as his brothers would mockingly point out if they weren't afraid of getting their bottom jaws ripped clean off their faces, Vandillizer's low intelligence is clearly his most exploitable weakness, As a result, he is very inept at stealing souls, possessing bodies, and performing many other dark arts, although curiously, he does display some capability.


Possession: (Ty:1D6)


Vandiller can jump down the throats of living humans and possess them gaining full control of their body until they succeed a successful Psychic defense to regain control of their body and pop him out in a gout of vomit. However do to his lack of intelligence he's very bad at this.


Regeneration: (In:2D20) Vandillizer inherited the trait that the rest of his family possesses... to regenerate from nigh any wound. However do to his tough hide his body hasn't the need for one nearly as strong as most of his other brothers, and like all demons removing his head stops this process from occuring.

'VINDICATORS' ABILITIES:


Demon Form:

Vindicator is one of the more intelligent brothers. He isn't quite as strong, fast, or tough as the others, but he gets by well enough. He becomes much stronger in this form increasing his physical attack to Amazing(5D10) and his physical and energy defense to Incredible(2d20). He rarely transforms into this however as it reveals who he truly is.


Necromancy: (Aw:9D10)

Vindicator is a master of necromancy, whether it be tearing peices of a foes body away while they're still alive, summoning corpses of the deceased, or elsewise he is by far superior to his brothers when performing these acts.


Possession: (Aw:9D10)


Another form of magic that Vindicator excells at above all the rest of his siblings. He can posses even the strongest of wills of which no other demon would bother attempting do to the futility of doing so.


Regeneration: (In:2D20) Vindicator is not quite as resilent as some of his brothers, while able to regenerate like them and quickly heal his wounds, more grevious damage often remains quite clearly. As the others removing his head stops this from occuring.
