Dark Legion Metropolitan Prophet figure:
This creature is a radically altered Heretic who has been
granted an unusual chance to become a powerful servant of
Semai, while still acting within human domains. The Metropolitan
Prophet appears to be a normal human, though he is exceedingly
dense. (One giveaway of a Metropolitan Prophet in disguise
is if a car's tires sag visibly and the frame creaks when
he gets in.) The Heretic can mentally trigger a dramatic
transformation, where his body will abruptly swell and transform,
turning him into a red-skinned, muscle-bound collosus, possessed
of considerable strength. (In "human" form, he
may be fairly dense, but his strength is not fully optimized.)
Metropolitan Prophets act as terrorists on what are ultimately
suicide missions -- the transformation is only one-way.
However, it wouldn't be something beyond Semai not to inform
his servant of this little fact. And, there's the slight
possibility that a Metropolitan Prophet who exceeds the
expectations of his superiors and performs his mission flawlessly
- and somehow survives - might be given a chance to go back
to the necro-labs to have his "disguise" restored,
or else he might just live the rest of his life as a big
ugly muscle-bound thug that can't pass for human.
Like so many other servants of Semai, the Metropolitan
Prophet is pumped full of mortuary enzymes, so that if he
is slain, the evidence won't last long.
The "standard" weapon of choice is the Metropolitan
Hand-Cannon, which bears superficial resemblance to the
Voriche pistol design, only scaled to be used by the giant,
meaty hands of a Metropolitan Prophet. This weapon, through
wonders of Necro-Technology and the Dark Symmetry, is compacted
into a small, dense form, disguised as some fairly innocuous
item, such as a briefcase. It can be triggered to expand
to its full size and capacity, though it's expected that
the Prophet won't be able to reload this monster weapon.
This transformation - like that of the Metropolitan Prophet
himself - is only one-way, and the gun dissolves itself
once the last bullet is used.
