    Hello everyone

    I gave some thought on potential new units for SP considering the loss of Achilles team.
    SP revolves around Greek mythology, primarily Homer's work in the Trojan war and Odyssey. The recent events with the defection of Achilles and his mates can therefore be taken into the context of the vengeance of the gods towards one that was given the gift of life out of the pages, with a medicine from those pages.

    In greek mythology vengeance was exacted by entities named Erinyes. In the same mythology their number is not specified. We need to turn to Virgil to have the names of 3 of the daughters of Nyx, goddess of night. Their names are

    Alecto (endless anger)
    Megaera (jealous rage)
    Tisiphone (vengeful destruction)

    In other literature I have found that Alecto generally manipulated others into exacting vengeance, while Tisiphone used poisons from the snakes she had for hair. For Megaera the information is more limited, some say she was just ruthless in her destruction.

    This information led me to connect these characteristics with aspects in Infinity so:

    Alecto fits the Hacker archetype
    Tisiphone fits the assassin with poison ammunition archetype
    Megaera unfortunately is more difficult, I though engineer for the D-charges (demolition as in ruthless destruction...)

    Technically all the Erinyes had wings... and I would not like to go as far as jet propulsion because that'd be a bit of an overkill, but that doesn't mean that there cannot be a profile that has drop trooper/jet propulsion option for a lighter loadout.

    In the process I also thought of an incarnation of the gods (Aleph) as their team leader and who better than Heracles, the might hero of the 12 labors, often considered an example to follow to be the exactor of revenge. One so morally high that politicians often claimed to be his descendants to demonstrate their impeccable stance.

    Obviously Heracles, like many heroes in SP, should be HI.

    I have already drafted some other aspects in game mechanics. But since I called it brainstorming, I don't wanna keep it just to myself to create this team.
