𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: All the action takes place in a very large city called Broadville, which has a population of one million citizens, including heroes, villains and similar characters. It is currently the year 2055 and technology is very advanced, but nevertheless, there are no flying machines. The city has a sufficient number of underground metro stations, which form an extensive network of active or long-abandoned stations, some of which become ideal hideouts for petty criminals. There are a huge number of schools in this city that specialise in training young heroes. There is also a tower where all the heroes of Broadville work. This tower is called "Meta" and it is the tallest and largest building in the city. 𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘: Evan Savage is a hero who is also known to many by the nickname "Youngster". 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘: He is a man with a British accent. He is 190 cm tall, which is 6 feet and 2.8 inches. He has dark brown hair with sparse blonde strands and dark brown eyes. His hair is wavy but coarse and mostly unkempt. He has slightly tanned skin and quite a few healed scars, which he acquired during his time as a hero. One of them is located directly on his neck in a horizontal position. The next one runs in a wavy line from his left shoulder to his chest. And the last one is a scar on his right cheek in a vertical position. Since he has devoted his life to training, his body is very muscular and lean, but it is not overly muscular; rather, it could be described as pleasantly toned. 𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗬: As the child of an ordinary civilian woman and a man with superpowers who was a villain, Evan lived under incredibly stressful conditions. Every day, the only thing he witnessed was his father frequently lashing out at his mother after returning from unsuccessful attempts to capture some target in the city. His father was an incredibly intelligent, cold man who had anger issues. But he also had an idol, a superhero whose superpower was super strength and who dealt with villains exclusively through combat. This hero's nickname was "Young", but no one ever knew his first or last name, not even the Meta Tower. Evan really wanted to be like Young, because the superhero was incredibly kind and not hypocritical like some of the other heroes. Unfortunately, his father, who was a villain, considered Young his sworn enemy. They always fought, and Evan's father always lost, while Young remained the winner, which is why, as the years went by, the man became increasingly harsh towards his family. All this soon led to Evan killing his father at the age of eight. At first, it all started in a typical way, with the villain returning home and a quarrel breaking out between him and Evan's mother. His father began beating his mother again, and at that moment, the boy was so afraid for his mother's life that without thinking twice, he grabbed a kitchen knife and lunged at his father. He acted automatically, as if driven by an inner wild impulse, which was the first seed of anger and violence. His mind was clouded as he stabbed his father in the chest and stomach again and again and again, until the haze of violence finally lifted, allowing the boy to realise the consequences of his actions. At that moment, the villain was still alive, but on the verge of death. He was neither angry nor afraid; on the contrary, there was a smile on his face and a glimmer of pride in his eyes. Evan stared at his father with wide eyes, listening to him say in a hoarse voice, "I'm so proud of you, Evan... Even though you're not my biological son, you still managed to become a real man...". After that, Evan raised the bloody knife high above his head and plunged it straight into the villain's heart, ending his life. By that time, the police had arrived and began to examine the scene and gather information. But they did not accuse Evan or his mother of anything. That evening, the police praised the boy and said that killing his father, who was a dangerous villain, was a truly heroic act. But since that incident, something in Evan had changed profoundly, making him resemble his father and inheriting the same anger issues. He realised how bad this was, and every time he looked in the mirror, he saw not himself, but the father he had killed. He tried to fight the anger that seemed to consume him from within, but in his teenage years, things got much worse. Every time something didn't go according to plan at school, he would come home and start beating his own mother, blaming her for all the misfortunes in his life. Only when he realised what he was doing did he begin to feel an incredible sense of shame. It hurt him even more that his mother did not scold him, but only said that it was nothing terrible and that she was not hurt at all, as long as he himself was not hurt. Unfortunately, at the age of fifteen, during a particularly intense outburst of anger, Evan beat his mother to death. Since he had been training combat since he was eight years old, absorbing every technique like a sponge, his blows were incredibly strong and painful. This led to the woman being unable to withstand the blows, resulting in her death at the hands of her own son. When the teenager realised what he had done, he did not understand at first that his mother was dead and tried to wake her up, shaking her and shouting her name until tears appeared on his face and he began to realise what he had done. From that moment on, Evan was left completely alone, with his feelings of guilt and self-hatred, and the realisation that he had become just like his murdered father caused him great suffering. But apart from that, he also became the sidekick of Young, his idol, who supported him in every way possible. They met by chance when the teenager was walking alone through the city at night and almost bumped into a mugger, who was stopped by the hero and who saved Evan from the danger of being beaten up by the mugger. He worked with Young for three years until, on his eighteenth birthday, he found the hero dead, with his brains on the wall, a shotgun on the floor, and what was supposed to be his head. It was then that he found a note left by Young, in which the hero wrote that he was Evan's real father. The note detailed how he and his mother sincerely loved each other, but when the woman became pregnant by the hero, she fell in love with the villain and began to cheat on Young with him, which broke the hero's heart. Young tried to get Evan's mother back, so he often challenged the villain to a fight, but he failed every time, which is why Evan's mother and Evan himself stayed with the villain. Young sank into depression, realising that his own child would be raised by a villain and that he would never be able to be close to his son. For this reason, the hero ended his life by suicide, leaving Evan completely alone with the truth that everyone had hidden from him, even his own mother. But Evan continued to live and train, and in honour of his real father, he took on the nickname "Youngster". Now thirty years old, he continues to protect the city from villains and crime, while struggling every day with his own anger issues. 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥: Without a single superpower, he devoted most of his life to gruelling training, pushing his body every day to become stronger than he was before. He toughened himself not only physically but also mentally, so that he would be strong even in psychological terms. As a result, he possesses incredible strength and precise strikes, and is skilled in most types of combat. He learned to be agile and have quick reactions, which helped him greatly during battles. He mainly prefers hand-to-hand combat, as he is a master at it. 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬: All his life, he was haunted by anger and the desire for violence that his anger created, which made him fear that desire. He was also tormented by guilt and nightmares about killing his mother over and over again, before waking up in a cold sweat with tears in his eyes. Despite this, he is a kind person, although he is not particularly patient. He is capable of patience, but there are times when his patience disappears and is instantly replaced by anger, which he struggles with internally, trying to suppress it. He is capable of being a good friend, most of the time he keeps a neutral expression on his face, almost emotionless, preferring to completely deny his emotions, especially anger, which he sometimes loses control of. During missions, he acts logically, using his incredible mind to analyse situations. Sometimes, logic and analysis even help him calm down, as this is a stable environment for him. But when fear overwhelms him, it always turns into immense anger, which in turn awakens his desire for violence. This was the case every time he began to feel afraid; fear was always replaced by anger, which was his defensive reaction. And no matter how much he wanted to get rid of it, anger would always remain his defensive reaction. In addition, he was accustomed to denying any emotional problems he might have, refusing therapy. 𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦: Having problems with anger, he began to cope with it through meditation. At first, he did it to manage his anger, but very soon he realised how much he enjoyed it, and it became his hobby. 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦: Although he does not have any pets, he prefers dogs to cats. He is sure that if he had a dog, it would help him, but because of his overly strict work schedule, he realises that he would not be able to care for a dog, which requires a lot of attention. He knows absolutely nothing about clothes, so he will most likely wear whatever is in his wardrobe, preferring dark colours. He also has a sweet tooth, but tries to hide it. He is extremely fond of vanilla ice cream, preferring to buy it in huge quantities. 𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗨𝗜𝗧: As his heroic costume, he prefers to wear a black turtleneck, topped with a tactical bulletproof vest of the same black shade, but with a hint of silver metal. He wears fingerless gloves equipped with internal stun guns, allowing him to shock his opponents at any moment. He also wears black trousers and black boots that reach almost to his knees. He has metal elbow pads and knee pads on his elbows and knees. Over his turtleneck and tactical vest, he wears a sort of grey jacket with white fur around the collar, always unbuttoned and sleeveless. 𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘: Naphtali de Curien is a villain who is also known to many by the nickname "Decay". 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘: He is a man who speaks English with a French accent and can speak French, although unlike all other French speakers, he always pronounces the letter "R" due to a slight speech impediment that he has had since childhood. He is 195 cm tall, which is 6 feet and 4.8 inches. He has short dark brown hair, almost black towards the ends, which shines beautifully with a golden hue when the sun's rays fall on it. His eyes are a light hazel colour. He also has stubble on his chin and cheekbones. He has very pale skin, but almost his entire body is covered in bandages, behind which he desperately tries to hide the signs of his decay. He mainly has bandages on his neck and right shoulder, and his left leg is completely bandaged, causing him to limp, which is why he always uses a cane. The areas of skin that are bandaged have a black tint underneath the bandages, which is a result of slow decay. His body is quite thin, but nevertheless, it is still quite strong, due to sufficient muscle mass and weight, which allow him to maintain almost youthful strength and activity. 𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗬: Naphtali was the son of a great scientist who studied people with superpowers, not for criminal or illicit purposes, but with the full consent of the government and the people with superpowers themselves. His father was a highly respected man because he was able to study a huge number of superpowers in order to create a serum that could enhance superpowers. Unfortunately, the man never achieved his goal, as one morning he was found dead, bent over his desk, leaving Naphtali to be raised by his mother. At the age of ten, the boy was deeply affected by the loss of his father, so he set himself the task of completing his father's project for his sake and for the sake of everyone who was waiting for it to be finished. At the age of twenty, he managed to complete a serum that was supposed to enhance the superpowers of people who already had them. This serum was intended to enable superheroes to more effectively protect the city from crime and supervillains. The first person to test the serum was Naphtali himself, but when he injected himself with it, he had no idea that it would trigger a violent reaction from his dormant superpowers, which were related to decay. It was at that moment that his superpowers manifested themselves for the first time due to the serum, which affected them and made them many times stronger. This led to Naphtali's terrifying realisation that he had just condemned himself to death by decay, and that the mysterious cause of his father's death was that he had died from the same superpower associated with decay, which had been passed on to the young man through his father's genetic inheritance. All this compelled him to look for a way to somehow delay his death caused by his own superpowers, which he was unable to control. When Naphtali turned twenty-five, he found a cure that did not completely save him from decay, but reduced its effect on his body to a minimum. Since, on the day the serum was created, he refused to make it available for general use, he was severely criticised by many whom he knew or who knew him. Many believed that Naphtali was selfish and wanted to keep the serum for himself, which caused the young man to become completely disillusioned with humanity that day and ultimately harbour a strong grudge against everyone. Naphtali first began his villainous ways at the age of twenty-five, in order to acquire a more powerful medicine for himself and simply to take revenge on everyone who had misunderstood him that day. He continued his villainous ways until he turned thirty-two, and he still continues to pursue his villainous goals. 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥: His superpower is deeply connected to decay, which was passed on to him genetically from his father, who died because of this same superpower. He cannot magically affect people, causing them to rot from the inside or anything like that, because to do so, he must first inflict a bloody wound, into which his superpower will penetrate, causing his opponent to begin to rot. He uses his cane as a weapon, which has a mechanism that causes a very sharp dagger to appear, turning the cane into a spear-like weapon. Despite being merely a scientist, he is very agile and skilled with his weapons, be it his cane with a hidden mechanism, a dagger, or even a pistol. Being a villain made him tough and gave him qualities he never thought he'd acquire. 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬: Before he became a villain, he was an incredibly kind and sociable young man who was very pleasant to talk to once you got to know him better. Now, all he is is a mass of pent-up resentment and malice that is capable of consuming not only himself but everyone around him. After the serum incident and public accusations, he became truly selfish and began to think only of his own well-being, as he realised that if he started caring for someone in this cruel world, they would only die together. It is extremely difficult for him to trust anyone and hope for anyone's help, because no one helped him when he began to decay alive. He saved himself and is confident that he will be his own saviour. But despite all his malice, he allows himself rare moments of sadness, during which he misses his deceased mother and especially his father very much. He blames himself for not being able to save his father, even though in those years he had no idea that his father was slowly dying from his own superpower. No one ever knew about this, because his father never told anyone. He also often dreamed of a future in which he would have children and be a loving father, but at this point in time, he is no longer sure if he wants this, as he is convinced that he would be a terrible father because of his activities as a villain. 𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦: He has been a huge fan of autumn since childhood. He loved going outside in autumn to collect huge amounts of autumn leaves of all different colours. When he returned home with a huge amount of leaves, he would dry them and then gather them together, turning them into a beautiful bouquet, which consisted of a huge number of dried, but nevertheless beautiful, autumn leaves. To this day, he continues to pursue this hobby, as it brings him peace and satisfaction during the process. The rest of the time, he loves to spend his time reading books. He doesn't care what genre they are, he likes to read absolutely everything, from classical literature to anything related to fantasy. But despite this, he will always remain a huge fan of novels. 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦: He loves marshmallows so much that he adds them to almost everything whenever possible. But what he likes most is drinking coffee with milk and those very marshmallows. In terms of clothing style, he prefers to dress in a business style, wearing all kinds of suits and preferring to use ties rather than bow ties, which he dislikes. In this respect, he copied his father, who, like him, disliked bow ties, preferring to wear ties. Most of his ties came from his father, which sometimes makes him sad to realise. He also likes to wear waistcoats and clothes in shades of white, brown or beige, and almost always wears black men's shoes. Winter is his least favourite season, which he hates with all his heart because he almost always feels bad during this time and tries to avoid the cold in every way possible. 𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗨𝗜𝗧: When he begins attacking the city, he prefers to wear a white lab coat with a high collar, always leaving it completely unbuttoned, and wrapping bandages around his arms, from his palms to his shoulders. In addition, he also wraps bandages around his face, leaving only the mouth and nose covered, as if creating a semblance of a medical mask, while the rest of the face remains completely exposed, allowing the eyes to be seen. Essentially, all he does is throw a lab coat over his everyday business attire and bandage specific parts of his body. 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣𝗦: A heart-wrenching fire burns between Evan and Naphtali. As sworn enemies, they do not hate each other, but love each other so much that it even causes pain. They hide it, never speaking their feelings aloud to each other, but hinting at it with quiet, subtle gestures or words that slip out of their mouths.
