Man-Drake is Doctor Azoth’s first, and simplest, servant, crafted from arcane roots and special formulae, grown to monstrous size and imbued with enough intellect to understand and obey its master. Man-Drake is a roughly humanoid form of woody plant matter, standing some nine feet tall, with a broad, powerful “build” and a pair of leafy “wings” spreading from its back which magi- cally allow it to fly (in sheer defiance of aerodynamics) and a vaguely dragon-like “head” in spite of having no true brain, skull, or sensory organs. Man-Drake is tremendously strong and capable of emitting a cloud of poisonous pollen spores from its “mouth” able to inca- pacitate most creatures (but not Doctor Azoth or the other Homunculi, who are immune).

Man-Drake is capable of rumbling, broken speech, although it only speaks when necessary or commanded to do so. It has a psychic connection with Doctor Azoth, allowing the alchemist to command Man-Drake from afar and know what it knows; the other Homunculi are well aware their master can be watching them via Man-Drake at any time.

PETRA

Doctor Azoth’s second, more sophisticated, creation is Petra (meaning “rock”), a humanoid statue imbued with alchem- ical power and a semblance of life. In her normal form, Petra looks like a rough sandstone statue of a woman, but she can transform the substance of her body into other elements, becoming as hard as diamond or steel, a gaseous mist (from helium to argon), burning phosphorus, and various others. She can also alter her shape to a limited degree, stretching out her limbs, for example. Petra is far more intelli- gent than Man-Drake and possessed of a human-like spirit. So much so, in fact, that she longs to be human, even if it means putting aside her powerful and immortal body. Doctor Azoth cares nothing for this goal, however, and has no wish to lose a servant as useful as Petra, and she knows this. Compounding her desire is a more than sisterly affec- tion for Takwin, which her fellow homunculus does not return or even seem to notice.

Petra’s Malleable and Metamorphic powers are well-suited for various power stunts related to transforming into exotic or unusual elements, particularly those able to target an opponent’s known weaknesses. If

a foe is vulnerable to silver or some strange radioactive mineral, for example, Petra might turn her hands into that substance (invoking the hero’s Vulnerability compli- cation).

TAKWIN

Takwin (an Arabic term for the creation of life through alchemy) is Doctor Azoth’s crowning achievement in the creation of Homunculi: a figure of artificial flesh and blood who is not only indistinguishable from a true human being (barring some mystical means of detection), he is capable of assuming different human appearances, remolding his alchemical flesh at will.

Takwin is a physically perfect specimen: a skilled acrobat, athlete, and fighter, who serves as Doctor Azoth’s prime emissary to the outside world, able to become virtually anyone and go anywhere. Indeed, the Doctor’s contacts often think he has many servants, not knowing they are all actually Takwin. When he expects combat, Takwin carries a scimitar of alchemical steel. In more covert circumstances he conceals a handful of small crescent- shaped throwing blades within his own body using his metamorphic powers.

In his “default” form, Takwin looks like a handsome Arab man in his early 20s. He’s known to slightly vary details like his hair length, facial hair, and eye color to suit his whims. At will, he can look like virtually anyone, even alien looking humanoids. He has been known to impersonate Doctor Azoth and his fellow homunculi in order to confuse their enemies, and may also adopt the guise of a foe in order to distract or strike at their allies.

If Takwin were a human being, he would be classed as a sociopath: utterly without empathy for others, interested only in how he can manipulate them and better serve his master. He has a cat-like cruel streak, which Doctor Azoth reins-in most of the time, allowing Takwin to “play” when it suits him.
