The Villain
Codename: The Black Death
Villain Attire:
Terry coats himself in a fogged layer of darkness, or shadow. Under that he has the suit. This creates a shadowy figure.
Powers:
Since a young man, Terry has noticed he was somewhat stronger and faster than the average man, about five times, but he never really showed it off. He brushed his powers off and ignored them yet in his mind it curled around his mind. The darkness force passed by his father seems be energy of extra-dimensional origins and almost seems to harbor a mind of its own at times. Terry gained most of the powers of his father but they seemed to have evolved and are more advanced.
In his current condition Terry has trouble performing physical acts due to his cancer, he is limited because his breathing and chemo which weakens him. When in his suit he can perform better. He is still testing his powers but here is what he has all together:
Darkness Force: Pitch Blackness:
Terry has the ability to cover his body in the force, like a pitch black shadowy mist. Light rays of any kind cannot penetrate this darkness, nor can the naked eye, xrays can pierce but the picture isn’t as clear. yet Terry can see through the darkness and has also developed an acute night vision. The darkness covers the metal suit and makes him look like a black ghoulish figure.
Darkness Force: Darkness Energy Manipulation, blasts and properties:
Terry can create and control the energy. This energy can act as repellant and pull force, able the shield from attacks and pull things into it. He can store multiple things in this force, as well as people, who would be unable to see or move. The energy can wrapping around objects and manipulate them, moving them around freely and nimble in space or hold them, this includes himself which allows him in a way, to hover in the air.
He can fire blasts of this energy if different ways. The energy can force things away, pull things safely in, crush or pulling things apart. Examples would be, taking the breath away from someone or turning a car into a scrap of metal the size of a basket ball. He has a force of up to 1800 pounds per pressure. Terry can use this at a distance of his own sight or acknowledgment and also multitask with it, able to have the force working in a few places at once.
Shadow Fusing and Travel:
Terry has found that he can travel through shadows and since he can make darkness, he is able to teleport within the limit of natural shadows and his own darkness. Thus he can move under things and through cracks and clear things like glass.
Skills:
Being a Security guard, Terry understands the buildings security inside and out, so he can slip in a certain areas and times. Working in a military base that deals with hazardous material, Terry had been trained to know what to do to protect himself from such hazards and also how to handled and stored them in case of an outbreak or accident. More research was needed before he could use these things safely to his advantage.
Special Equipment:
Modified Military Suit.
Terry had stolen and modified a black military suit. It was a working model of a New Age Combat suit soon to be used. It is made of a mix of titanium, steal, heat resistant and other sturdy materials. It gives the person shock absorption from impact and jumping, it gives them speed enhancement performance and is a nearly impenetrable and is lighter weight then most in its line. It has the heat resistance of about 1800 degrees F.
As for the modifications, Terry has taken the weapons to a different level, adding chemical weapons, such as acid and an array of quick acting toxins to diseases, chemicals and viruses. Silent hover technology in the boots allow him to fly up to a speed of about 500 miles. Even though he has the ability to fly he has kept this because he might not be able to fly on day. The suit also has glowing pale green eyes. And for that special touch he had crafted a realistic image of a old skull on the face and hands and feet. He has modified it with a high oxygen device which injects into his veins, enough so that he would even have to take a breath for hours.
Teleportation Device
He also stole a teleportation device. It allows him to teleport to designated pinpoint locations marked on its GPS, from a couple feet to several hundreds of miles away. Even though he can somewhat fly and travel by shadows, he uses it just in case he can’t make it out of a situation, or he has to transport something bigger than he can handle.
Weaknesses:
Physical Weakness:
Terry has been riddled with a weakness, if he had stopped smoking and explored his powers easier in life he would have such a problem. He was diagnosed with throat and lung cancer and breathing at times is hard. He often has go out a breathing device. As a person Terry is limited to what he does. Yet in his advanced suit he is able to take in the oxygen he needs and can perform well. But even with these advances he is a sick man, he tires easy, so his acts as the Black Death are short.
Closeness to Deadly things: Tempting fate is not nearly the term to use for one who tampers with deadly diseases and toxin. Terry could very well infect himself with any of the bio-hazards he meddles with.
Mental Health: Terry is troubled with horrible depression which has sickened him for most of his life and taking on the role of Black Death, he is beyond suicidal. He doesn’t really care if this role kills him or not. He’s going out with a fight.
Criminal Record: Assault and threats
Henchmen:None
History:
Terry is a recently retired guard from a hidden military biological warfare base 50 miles outside of Gotham, living two lives of both death and the dying. His story starts when he was born in Puerto Rico. His mother had an affair with man who secretly was the Black Death (Greenwich Gaurdian) it would be later in his life that Terry would start gaining his dark powers and investigate the truth about who he was.
At an early age Terry and his family moved to the city and he never liked it and later came to hate it to the point where he wanted to destroy it. His step father Alonzo worked as a janitor at the base outside the city where they lived. It was a very securer and secret base do to so many around who could take advantage of it. Everything was going well until Terry turned nine and his world changed.
His mother got in a fatal accident and passed away after a couple days in the hospital, leaving Terry’s brother and sister to care for him as his father worked to support them. Life was rough for them and being the youngest of three and being told he wasn’t Alonzo’s son Terry often felt out of place.
His step father never truly forgave his mother and often took out his anger on him. Terry grew up in a tug of war for affection and understanding. His found his release in reading and writing and in his teen years he found cigarettes, drugs and sex. It was also around then that he started noticing changes to his body; powers and a darkness came about him. He tried to drown it out for years.
When he turned eighteen his step father got him a position at the base as a janitor to help pay for his college loans and to help get him away from his bad life style. One night Terry was involved in incident, a break in by a rouge villain. They tried to steal things to cause a biological attack on the city. Terry acted and helped stop them. Seeing Terry’s advanced skills the base decided to train him and moved up to security. He was offered free card; a chance to go to a college all expenses paid. Later on in life at age 26 he would be part of the head of security.
When he was a couple years later his stepfather died in an accidental water main blowout in the building. Soon after his brother got in a car crash which damaged his brain. He kept going to college and worked full time afterwards to support his brother but Terry fell isn’t a deeper depression and soon lost joy in everything. He became bitter at the world. His sister then moved back to Puerto Rico after a big fight with him and he has little contact with her.
Years later he found out a woman he had been for a short time when he was had given birth to his son, named Carlos. Terry was only fourteen at the time so she did not bother to tell anyone that he was the child’s father seeing as she was well in her 20’s. Terry fell back in love with her and they married. The dark mysterious man she fell in love with became something she really didn’t want to live with. So, not more than a year went by she left him for another man and moved away, leaving him not to see his son for years.
Terry became angry and threatened her life if she didn’t let him see his son. She got a court order and took full custody of the boy and he wasn’t allowed to be within a mile of them. His ex wife and son moved to California. Because of this and events from his past returning to mind, Terry became very depressed and smoked like a chimney.
When Carlos was fifteen his mother told him about who his father was, he ran away to New York and found his father and they would live together and become close for almost a year. Carlos also joined a Latino gang but soon found out he wanted no part of the horrible crimes and killings they committed. His son wished to help stop their havoc on innocent people and found the help of the GCPD. But in the end after a couple months the law failed to be protect Carlos and he was gunned down. The gang still operates to the day along with the dozens of other criminals and networks in the city. Terry and his son became very close weeks before he was gun down.
Terry’s life had been full of tragedy and misfortune and now it all started over again. After the funeral he had a fight with his exwife and had an accident; falling down the stairs, he had passed out because he couldn’t breath. After some tests at the ER he found out he had lung and throat cancer and the amount he smoked he would die within a few years. He became even more of a close-in. Terry became very bitter towards the gang, the PD and the world.
Everything hidden within him was seeping out like a poison. It was time to make the world pay. He started testing his powers and exercising them. He decided to track down the gang who killed his son. Before he knew it, he had killed most of them then without mercy. He soon found that bringing death to people who deserved it seems to empower this force, like a craving. He felt no remorse.
Terry continued his career at the base and also began a study on himself, he finally stopped ignoring his powers and who he was. He did some research on mutants and had a few ideas who his father was but still was unsure if it was the Black Death. But either way he decided to adopt the name and took on the role of a grim reaper type being, pointing his scythe at the city and those he felt needed to pay. Soon the man he used to be would be gone and only a dark shell would be left. Being in the position he was and with an assortment of dastardly devices at his finger tips, he decided to steal a couple things here and there from the base and accentually sweep it under the table.
Over the last few months a dark shadow had by passed security on the base; secretly going through data, blue prints for top secret experiments and specimens. Anyone who saw it believed the place was haunted. He stole and remodeled a promo suit that was being designed for soldiers to wear, a Combat suit which was also designed to protect people in case of deadly outbreaks. Working and training there for years Terry understond enough to safely contain and reproducing the bio-materials. Terry Elise now plans on using these to plague the city and those who wronged him and those who get in his way.
Terry watched and studied the city of Gotham and its history. People said Gotham was going to change but that was over 30 years ago. People in masks ran around seemingly fixing things but in his eyes they only seemed to complicate things, drawing more problems to the existing ones. The action of two men who nearly destroyed the city caught his attention and so he became obsessed with a man named Ra’s Al Ghul and the Scarecrow and he planned on finishing what they had started.
The Black Death now wishes to rid the city of its inhabitants since it is so out of control. The end plan is to forge bio warfare on Gotham and empty it of life if it does not make a drastic change for the better. He will stop all those who appose him if he must and will so little mercy. Even if Terry is found out, his actions on the city may not be so easily contained after a point.
RP Sample:
Outside of the city was a sticky evening full of a nights mischief. Yet the shaded and cool apartment of the retired police chief was the scene of another type of crime, and it was already far underway. The killer was unseen by the naked eye but the evidence was already confessing itself in the face of the ill man half asleep.
The tv was on and the AC was cranked up yet these did little to comfort the man who was laying on the couch hoping his sudden illness would go away with some advil he took a hour ago. He thought he heard a noise out the living room door. He opened his eyes glazing around the dark room. It probably was the cat.
From the darkness of the door way grew a set of pale green, lighted eyes and a black figure comes into enough focus to started the sick man. He said up suddenly in a cold sweat but can’t seem to move very much. The man couldn’t get up or reach his phone. The dark figure stands before him for a moment floating motionless and breathing deep.
“The Noble Lord of the Law himself. Thus it appears thoy hast been struck by an sickness of sorts?” A harsh deep voice says from the ghostly shadow.
“Who are you?” he man says coughing.
“I, yet thou dost not see the fatality of thy curse."
"What?" He man was confused and Terry sighed inside. Since the man was going to die shortly there was no sense to keep up the act and the way he spoke. Besides, this was personal.
"Let me put it in better perspective for you. It's not the flu that has been circling the city the last month, no. Something worse, ingested; now riddling past your gut, what you thought was nothing more but bad takeout. What you don’t realize is the now millions of spores now invading the cells in your body; infecting every inch of you. And now Death has come to claim you.” He says breathing heavy pointing at him as the dark fog grew around him.
The man was very afraid now but couldn’t get up. “Who are you and what have you done to me!” He says. The Black Death only steps forward breathing loudly, his sickly green eyes piercing into the mans soul as it would seem.
“No more than a year ago you neglected your duties; thus the crime which you have now been sentenced for. This negligent cost a young man his life, a mere boy, someone dear to me, someone who wanted to do some good in this city. An opportunity for a dangerous gang to be eradicated was given and you failed to follow through.” He says and the darkness covered the man's body. Black Death motioned his hand, picking up the man with the darkness force so he was facing him. He squeezed the man tightly.
"Thou shalt pay for thou crimes by death!" He said slowly pulling him towards his face. The man struggled and gasped with overwhelming fear in his face.
“You understand, in the end it showed me that this disgusting excuse for a city is not worth saving. And once looking behind the lies, it does appear that the attempts to make it worthy are not profiting. Millions of dollars are spent, which only seems to feed the frenzy in the end. And in reality not even your masked heroes seem to put a bold mark on cleaning up this city for long. No, problems just breed from the old ones. And yet you all keep trying, where you all see blind hope I see a pointless attempt, which will lead no where. I have come to finish was what started. To put this city in its grave.” He said and the darkness rolled away, showing the faded skull behind it.
“You took my child from me and you will be the first to suffer, the first to feel my sting, the first to die by my hands. For I am Death!” He says then tosses the man across the room.
Black Death stands over the man who soon dies from the stress of the encounter and the illness; his heart giving out. Black Death then slams a note on the mans table with an old black knife and vanishes into the dark. It reads:
“Thou shall fear me, Oh Gotham. For I art thou Reaper.”
The man would be found 3 days later dead; poisoned with a dangerous and powerful strain of anthrax but it would not be the only cause of death. The crime and the note will leave the city in panic, word soon leak out that another dangerous bio-terrorist was on the loose and out to destroy Gotham.
