Power Flaw:: Loses power for act if he harms a child.
Description:: Looks like his brother Bozo, but is much less charismatic. He has a great hatred for stage magicians, since one nearly led to his death in Philadelphia during the invasion (He was selected by Mobius to scout out America and see if he could find help Baruuh Kaah.)

Notes: Zoob is the twin sister of both Bozo and Zobo twin sister. Her brothers typically underrate her abilities, usually putting her on the sideline during important missions. Her S.O.P. is to tease and tempt, and then trick, a man out of what she wants. Depending on how the party acts, she is closest to being inclination seduced, but she may also richochet the worst if they fail.

Quote:: "Hey teenager, want to saddle up here and take a seat?" <>
Description:: Close your eyes and try and imagine a slinky, sexy clown. If you can then you've got Zoob. She wears very tight clown clothes that aren't that garish or wild. Usually black and white. She has red auburn hair, and a tempting smile.

His specialty in science has been to augment people into clownoids... loyal idiots that are tough enough to handle stormers. He is the only one of the family who really appreciates Zoob, and is VERY protective of her. He prefers to entertain people by pantomine and has been known to stare people into giving them their money.

Notes on Killer Clowns: Depending on the mood of the game, these clowns can be anything from comic relief to murderous jokers (but remember they have to have a sense of humour) Zobo is the most murderous of them, and Booz is the most comic. I've played them in the past when being hit, bouncing around like toons...

Equipment:

Tommygun (DV 20), clown suits (TOU+3).

Quote:

"Hey Bozo, do we off them or what?"
