Spectre Unstable
Background
In war there are always attempts to usurp the technology of a superior enemy. To the hardened weapons engineers of Dominus Columbia, the Unstable were no different: Hostile technology that had to be countered and, if possible, subsumed and absorbed. How best to deploy a similar creation in a manner that suited the powers of Dominus Columbia though was a different story...
In short order, the top Scientists, Techno Savants, NecroTechs and other practices of the unsightly trades labored upon replicating the works of their adversaries to different purpose: To create the ultimate Super Spy! Capable of fooling any test or trace and infiltrating any facility or stronghold like a ghost!
While the project was ultimately canceled due to lack of funding, a number of the so-deemed 'viable prototypes' were dumped out into the public following the cancellation and have managed to form something of a distinct outcast identity from the affair.Costume and Roleplay Requirements
The modifications done to the genomes of the wash-outs (their own fault or not) of the so-called SPECTRE Program have left a unique touch across all of them: the glow that emits from the fluids inside their veins is a soft, nearly ultraviolet purple. This change also seems to have altered the aesthetic preferences and dispositions of many of them, some of whom now sport unnaturally purple tinted features, from hair and nails all the way to irises and teeth. It is rare a SPECTRE who does not prefer some unique, personal shade of purple above all others.
