Wow, I really had a lot of fun reading that! Nice story, gotta love them psychos!
Now that's how you make a villian!! WTG great read....and major creepy! 
It was a good read had the whole crazy stalker rapist feel down pat. I like his POV nice showing how he went from stalking to r a p e to just plain ole crazy. Not that he was far from it before.
Overall very nice job, you hit the nail on the head.
Thanks guys, really appreciate the comments, hopefully some more might roll in. Ill try working on something for my other villains and heros, I hope they can size up to this one.
Very nice. Yup, ya just gotta love the psychos.
My name is Ritchie. I used to be a standup guy, but not anymore. See, it all comes down to when the Rikti attacked. No. No. It was before that.
I used to be in the Air Force, I piloted an A-10 Warthog. Good plane, a little slow, but sturdy, powerful. I was career, and living a good life. I lived in paragon City, and thats when I first met her. Ryane. She snubbed me at first, of course, but I could see her warming up to me as time passed. On my off time I'd meet her at a bar, have a few drinks and watch as she pretended to ignore me, and laugh with her friends. She would flirt with other guys to make me jealous, but that's ok, it was fine. I'd have a smoke and some drinks, and later on outside the bar I'd talk to that guy about putting the moves on MY GIRL. I'd rough them up a little, and leave them broken and crying. I'd go see Ryane at work, and she would pretend to be angry with me and tell me to leave. We had this little joke about how I was always bothering her, of course it had to be a joke, we didn't want to get her in trouble for flirting with her love at her workplace. See, she really did love me. I'd watch her at home, I got a place across the down the street from her. I'd peek in as she cooked and cleaned, or watched tv with her cat curled up on her lap. Sometimes I'd go inside when she wasn't home, for a token of affection, or leave one of my own. I even went in once when she was sleeping, she didn't even know I was there! It was so cute, watching her sleep like that. I loved her so much.
Then she started hurting me, for no reason! When she started seeing some guy behind my back and I found out, I went nuts. I kicked in her door, and yelled at her. She said that there was never anything between us, can you believe it!? I just couldn't hold it in, so I hit her a few times, it was her fault, I can't believe she said our love wasn't real! I just wanted her to say she loved me. After our little arguement we made up, and made passionate love in her bed. Later that night I went to that guys house and looked around. It was pretty late at night, like 3 am, and he was asleep. I was still so angry though, I pounded on his door till he answered. he and I had a fight, and... well I did something that I guess I shouldn't have done. He won't ever touch my girl again though.
That night I cut up and bruised my knuckles pretty bad, my Commander even said something the next day at work. I couldn't fly for a week until the bruises went down some because the Commander said he didn't want me hurting them more on the stick when I was in the air. I lied and told him I got in a fight with some Hellion, I didn't want to get my baby in trouble of course. She overreacted to it all, and went to the hospital. After she got out a couple weeks later, I kinda stayed away, I think she was still a little upset at me. I was watching her one night, from the window, just to make sure she was ok, when out of nowhere, this cape showed up! Bright blue spandex with a giant red eagle on his chest, he knocked me flat with one hit for no reason! He took me in, and the cops said I was STALKING Ryane! How could I stalk my girlfriend? I love her and she loves me! Anyhow, they kept on me about all this jazz, the guy she was cheating on me with wound up dead in Kings Row, they tried blaming me, but they didn't have evidence. I told them it was probably the Skulls, or Hellions. I got slapped with a restraining order, and they told me not to leave the city. Stupid pigs.
A few days later the Rikti came. I was on base at the time, so I hopped into my A-10 and my attack squadron headed off to one of their motherships. Man was that intense! Aerial firefights with aliens and capes flying all around. I was flying in for an attack run, when I saw this guy on my wing. Flying along, bright blue spandex, red eagle on his chest. He smiled at me a gave me a thumbs up, then flew ahead. The nerve! He though I didn't know who he was? He was taunting me! I got so pissed... the adrenaline, all of the anger... I moved in right on his six. I fingered the trigger on my forward gun for a second and savored the moment. Then I fired. The depleted uranium shells flew right at him and tore him to shreds!! I couldn't believe it, I had showed him, that cape, that [censored]! He ruined me and now I killed him! I got him back! I laughed and howled, and said I got one. My copilot didn't understand why I was so happy at shooting some no name hero out of the sky. He said I was crazy and that I'd lost it! In the heat of it all some damned alien attack drone flew right on me, and almost blew my wing off.
I circled around, and fired the main gun at it. Depeleted uranium bounced right off it's energy shields and struck right back into my bird. Two of the shells tore right into me. I started going down, my copilot was dead. I tried bailing out, but no good. I slammed into a building with a little bit of a controlled landing, and fell out of the plane. I stumbled away, and fell into some rubble not too far away. I laid there for 4 days. I was hurt, bad. I wasn't dying, but the pain... so intense. The left side of my face was burned... I had three slugs in my leg, shoulder and hip. Heroes kept flying by, or running, jumping, but none of them would help me! I kept shouting, but they just kept on going like I wasn't even there! That was the longest four days of my life. The pain, heroes not even caring about this soldier laying there.
Finally, some citizens came by and dragged me to a hospital. I was laid up for months. The Air Force came by, and took me into custody. I laid in bed forever. They took my wings because of that hero I killed. I tried to explain! They wouldn't listen, of course. No one can understand. They said I was going to prison for what I did. After the Rikti war was over I was tried for two counts of homocide, [censored], assault, stalking, a few other meaningless charges.
In prison I was... humiliated. I fought as best I could sometimes, but thugs in the Zig are different. Trolls, Hellions, Skulls... I got some rep for killing a hero... but that was it. I was watching tv in the common room one day when a news clip came on about some heroes. I watched it with disdain and disintrest, until I saw her. Ryane. My love! She had lived through the Rikti war, somehow! She was flying, and... shooting energy from her hands! She was a hero now! I couldn't believe it! She ruins my life with this stalking and [censored] crap, cheating on me, and SHE'S a hero now? I got angry again. The blood boiled in my veins, then I felt it. The power. Pure energy radiating through my body. Somehow... those depleted uranium shells had changed me when they were reflected back at me from the drone! I used my newfound radiactivity powers after some practice to esape prison.
I studied Ryane. She called herself White Nebula now. I know it's her under that mask. I copied her costume and made one for myself. I went to her house again, after finding out where she lived. I exposed my new identity to her, and she flipped out knowing it was me! She attacked me! I still can't believe it! That [censored]! That... [censored]. She used her powers on me, and in my inexperience I got knocked out, and once again, because of her, I was in the Zig. Arachnos broke a bunch of us out some time later, and I was one of them. Now I'm in the Rogue Isles working for them. I'm going to study White Nebula, and make myself strong here, learn to use my powers. I'll exploit every weakness she has, and ruin her like she ruined me! I'm not Ritchie anymore.
I'm Cold Nebula.
(ooc) Pure roleplay character, I have both, White and Cold Nebula. One a Ene/Ene blaster, the other Rad/Rad Corrupter. They have the same costume pretty much, his is full mask (stargazer) with the veined face showing (his Rikti war wounds). She just has a domino mask and blonde hair. I've gotten a few comments about Cold's bio, people think I'm crazy =) I have fun roleplaying him. Please comment on his backstory... I want to portray him as a stalker/rapist/psyho killer.
