100 Voices (Villain)

Code-name: 100 Voices

Full Name: Eric Hanson

Faction: None

Before the ruin, before the whispers, and long before the voices came, he was Eric Hanson, a sharp-suited predator who prowled Pulp City’s courtrooms with lupine cunning. To his clients, he was a savior, a lawyer who could wrestle victory from the jaws of certain defeat. To victims of crime, he was a dread harbinger, the orchestrator of ironclad alibis that allowed murderers, thieves, and worse to escape justice.

Eric Hanson was a wealthy and much-reviled man. Hanson was more than just a crooked lawyer; he was a opportunist, using intellect and charm to disrupt justice and profit from misery. Yet even those who hated him for all the inequities he stood for did not know his deepest darkest truth. To be as successful as he was while being as dirty as he was required incredible diligence that nothing could be pinned on him. Hanson left nothing to chance, except when the urges came upon him again, as voices whispered his name from the darkness.

Eric Hanson’s fall was as spectacular as his rise. Cacophonous whispers chattered to him, in many tongues talking across each other. When they spoke, it was like an itch deep within his brain, and he knew only one way to scratch it. On nights like those, even the darkest deeds others had associated with Hanson paled against what he would do. Hanson’s mask of civility finally slipped when his fugue bloodlust manifested again, leaving a trail of bodies too messy to hide.

Enter Dead Eye, the unyielding Supreme whose sense of justice was as sharp as Hanson’s deceptions. After a relentless investigation aided by other masked vigilantes, Dead Eye brought Hanson’s empire crashing down. The disgraced lawyer’s trial was a public spectacle, his sentence multiple life terms. Yet Eric still had markers to call in, and with the assistance of corrupt corrections officers he escaped, fleeing to the destroyed Ashville Asylum, called there by those whispered words.

If Pulp City had a place where nightmares bred, it was the ruins of Ashville Asylum. The rotting decrepit halls were a crucible of despair and madness, and for Eric Hanson, they were a revelation. Stripped of control, he discovered something worse than confinement: the relentless whispers were louder here than ever before. It began with a single, mocking voice in the dark, but soon, a cacophony followed, filling his mind with secrets, temptations, and horrors. Hanson fought to silence them, but the harder he resisted, the louder they grew.

Hanson emerged as something unrecognizable. He was no longer the scheming lawyer but a being reborn in madness. The whispers had consumed him, and they had also empowered him. Now, he was the embodiment of chaos and pain: 100 Voices, a living conduit for the insanity lurking at the edges of reality.

100 Voices claimed the ruins of Ashville as his domain, turning its crumbling chambers into a nexus of fear and control. His presence warped the minds of those who came near, bending them to his will with little more than a word or a glance. Some said his laughter alone could shatter resolve, while his whispers could drive the strongest Supremes to their knees. But his most terrifying ability was his power to slip between shadows and stepping out wherever his enemies felt safest.

100 Voices has consolidated his power around Ashville Asylum. Yet even there he faces conflict and challenge. The Otherside use the ruined asylum as a portal between Pulp City and their otherworldly realm, bringing another brand of chaos into the metropolis. It is inevitable that there will be a showdown between the two sides, and 100 Voices is determined that he will be the victor.
