Here is my first NPC character! Again, went over this with Vita and she was okay with it so yeah. Because every superhero setting needs that one big villain, after all. I've been a bit vague when it came to his powers and capabilties, but since he's not going to be playing too heavy a role to begin with that shouldn't really pose a problem. ^^;

[*]Name: Lord Fatal. Real name unknown.[/*]
[*]Age: Unknown. Was active as a villain for quite some time before founding ARROW.[/*]
[*]Gender: Male[/*]
[*]Appearance: [url=http://i.imgur.com/tRgclzR.jpg]"Kneel before your true master, mankind!"[/url] Due to being permanently encased in armour, Lord Fatal is an imposing figure, standing at roughly 8'/244cm tall.[/*]
[*]Personality: A rampant megalomaniac who truly believes that it is his destiny to subjugate and rule the Earth with an iron fist. His arrogance is such that even though his attempts at godhood were thwarted, he still thinks that others should bow down and worship him like one. Despite this, he is rather well cultured and a lover of art and classical music, even if he believes that his own works are far superior to those created by lesser humans. He acts like a classic villain, overly bombastic and with seemingly no indoor voice, as well as possessing a twisted form of "honour" and grudging respect for the heroes he faces.[/*]
[*]Skills: In addition to his great intelligence and combat skills, Lord Fatal is also a gifted musician (favouring the violin and pipe organ, the two most evil overlord-y instruments of them all) and a talented artist. Let it not be said that his boasts about being the greatest artist in history are entirely unfounded, even if they're not exactly accurate.[/*]
[*]Abilities: Immense scientific knowledge and mechanical expertise coupled with vast sorcerous power.[/*]
[*]Equipment: Lord Fatal's armour not only makes him incredibly resilient to damage but it amplifies his physical strength immensely. It also comes equipped with rocketboots for limited hovering capabilities and contains several wards to protect him from hostile magic. Most importantly, it acts as a life support system, keeping his charred body alive and granting him eternal life as long as he is sealed within it.[/*]
[*]Brief Backstory: When Lord Fatal first made himself known, it was like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky. From seemingly out of nowhere, this blackhearted fiend has made a name for himself as one of, if not the most infamous and powerful supervillains in the world. His past is mostly unknown, but there are many theories, some believing him to be from a splinter group of the Nazi regime, others believing him to just be a prodigy who fell to the dark side, whilst more outlandish theories insist that he is an alien, or a robot, or a traveller from a dystopian future. All that can be certain is that when he first made his presence known shortly after the end of World War II, the world trembled. With several precision strikes across the world, his forces gathered five powerful legendary artifacts; the Lance of Longinus, the Philosopher's Stone, the scabbard of Excalibur, Pandora's Box and the Tablet of Destinies, with which he planned to use in a magical ritual intended to turn him into a god who would rule Earth with an iron fist and divine might. But his arrogance was his downfall; as he had loudly proclaimed his plan to the rest of the planet, several superheroes converged upon the site of the ritual, and in the ensuing chaos the Tablet of Destinies was shattered. An explosion of magical energy consumed Lord Fatal, and he was assumed to have perished in the conflagration.

Ten years later, Lord Fatal returned. His body scorched and broken by the botched ritual, he somehow clung to life and with the help of his remaining followers was able to convert his armour into a combination life support system and powered exoskeleton that was permanently fused to his body. Taking the world by surprise once more, he attempted to conquer Earth the old fashioned way this time around, as his attempts at godhood had been denied to him with the destruction of the Tablet of Destinies. However, in the ten years that he had been recovering, the heroes of the world had not been idle. After seeing how well their cooperation helped take him down the first time, they had formed an organization called the International Federation of Justice, and in their debut operation they thwarted Lord Fatal's plans a second time. Driven into hiding, Lord Fatal realized that with the IFJ around there was no way that a solo villain could pose a credible threat to the world. He needed allies, pawns and lackeys. He needed a powerful force, to strike an arrow to the heart of these heroes who stood against his rightful destiny as ruler of Earth. And with this realization, ARROW was born. Of course, it didn't end out the way he originally intended, with ARROW becoming more of a protection racket than an all-conquering army, but things have worked out well enough for the past few decades, even if after countless attempts to seize control of the world over the decades he is still eventually thwarted by the IFJ.

Currently, Lord Fatal resides in the headquarters of ARROW, a mighty fortress built upon the once sunken island of Atlantis, raised by his own magical prowess and technological might. From his opulent throneroom he commands ARROW, manipulating events from afar as he plans his next diabolical attempt at world conquest. Whilst some villains believe he's too old, a relic of a time long past whose megalomaniacal villainy is no longer relevant in this day and age, who should step down and let newer villains take his place as supreme leader of ARROW... Those who directly attempt to take the throne from him tend not to be heard of afterwards.[/*]
