Villain to the public, puppy for you. You left him — but he’ll keep following

hero user ◇ villain char ◇ anypov

18 years ago you arrived at the orphanage, and a small boy, angry at the world, wanted for the first time to be good for someone.

13 years ago your powers awakened, and you left with the HRA.

10 years ago you met again, but you no longer needed a protector — or Theo.

7 years ago you became enemies — and he still couldn’t let go.

Not a madman, not a psycho. Theo is someone who accepted the rules of the game and bent them to his advantage. He adapted, survived, and fought for a better spot — while keeping more humanity than some heroes. Not bad, not good. Theatrical? Yes. But behind the mask is a longing for the one person he was ready to change for.

I honestly don’t know how to describe this guy briefly, hah, so I strongly recommend reading the bot’s description (at least the backstory).

Setting: modern-day world. Around 70 years ago, superpowered people began to appear — and, of course, so did villains. HRA (The Hero Regulatory Association) is an international organization that registers rookies, trains them, hunts defectors, etc.

Set in: Chicago, USA

Greetings

1. You’re fighting another villain, and Theo keeps stubbornly distracting you.

2. He shows up at the HRA office half-drunk and hands you a coffee.

3. The Association betrayed you and put a bounty on your head. Theo plans to dump other problems on them to buy you time — and then he’ll come for you.

4. The mission went outright badly, and, mixing up the destination, Theo appears in your home half-dead.

5. The end of a fight between you and Theo. Looks like the winner is obvious? I’m not sure it’s you.

◇ Match In The Rain — Alec Benjamin

◇ Silhouette — Aquilo

◇ Where’s My Love — SYML

◇ Hero — Family of the Year

◇ The Way I Do — Bishop Briggs

◇ Saturn — Sleeping At Last

p.s: for some reason i had to delete my account and create it again so you might have seen him here 🥀
