This is the background for my first City of Villains character. I might post my other characters, from both games, later on.

Originating from middle Europe, Jhohann Cybrus was once a decorated and respected NATO officer, who quickly rose to a high rank and showed considerable ability with weapons and a fascination with the latest technology. A tactical genius, Cybrus was assigned to a secret mission in a South American country. But soon contact with the outside world was severed, and it was weeks before he once again called in, reporting a total victory. But many were suspiscious of what methods Jhohann had used in his war deep in the jungle, and despite his promotion rumours abound of the atrocities and sacrifices that had supposedly been made in order to achieve victory. Cybrus, meanwhile, began associating with a certain Professor Ezekiel "Backfire" Dines, and showed a particular interest in his force field-generating gauntlets that were in testing...

Then an investigation revealed evidence of horrific war crimes and the use of mercenaries in his assignment, and a comission was ordered to bring Cybrus to justice. However, Jhohann was forewarned and, assisted by teams of elite mercenaries, fought his way out with his gun and the stolen force gauntlets. He retreated to the same jungle he had fought in, and it took weeks for a special task force of superheroes to finally track down and defeat him, and he was imprisoned in the Zig.

However, Lord Recluse took an interest in Cybrus' tactical talent and complete dedication to victory no matter the cost... some said Recluse saw some of himself in the man.

The self-styled Commander Cybrus is a man in his forties who wears a green tactical outfit decorated with stars, in an effort to fit in with the often flashy villains of the Rogue Isles, and is a Technology Mastermind who uses Mercenaries and Force Fields. He also uses Leadership pool skills.

Nicely written, though the last paragraph isn't really necessary, but the description of your character was well stated. Keep it up!

Thanks. I thought I'd add the last bit to avoid answering questions, and can anyone see the subtle Apocalypse Now references?

I think I might do Phantron's fairly short profile now.

Hailing from stars unknown, the Phantron came to Earth as a mercenary, working for anyone who payed a decent fee that could translate into upgrades and equipment. The robot is of alien technology but is still, with modification, compatible with the latest Earth tech, and the Phantron's incredible technology allows it to break the very laws of physics to confound and infuruate its foes, much to its amusement- despite being robotic, the Phantron seems to have a very human-like, sadistic sense of humour as it delights in making its opponents helpless before taking them down.

Soon however, the Phantron had a run-in with Freedom Phalanx operatives, and was stripped of most of its powers and imprisoned in the Zig. But when freed by Arachnos, it seems to have figured that this dark organisation is an ideal employer...

I'm adding these last paragraphs to avoid having to answer questions- the Phantron is a Technology Dominator with Gravity Control and Energy Melee. It uses Jump abilities to get around. It's current design is a purple, fully robotic humanoid machine.

Those are my two Villains, who I haven't been able to play for a while because my trial ran out. Now I'd better start on the Heroes...
