Characters Of The Week : The Hoods

The shadowy Hoods are the fascist vanguard of the Rotarios regime, some call them vile thugs, others twisted fanatics and some call them "white sheeted f**ks". They are the white robe wearing secret police of the New DDS, the enforcers of the New Law Of Professionalism. Originally they were a mysterious band of thugs who gave out beatings to DDS personnel in the labyrinth of corridors at DDS GHQ. No one knew who was behind them and any efforts to stop them failed.

The main reason for that was that they were in the pay of Vodaphone and Action Painting and they destabilised the regime of The Shiner to allow Lord Rotarios to become commander. The early Hoods are thought to have been criminals and rent-a-thugs but after Rotarios came to power he replaced these with a new generation of fanatics.

The Hoods live a brutally strict and disciplined existance at the DDS, spending their days in pursuit of professional perfection. They enjoy pain and self-denial. The only thing they enjoy more than being beaten by their peers is beating sinners and unprofessional heretics. Under Rotarios' command they have maintained a brutal crackdown on human rights in the DDS.
