Appearance:
Josef von Richtofen, many years ago...
When not on-duty or commanding his obscure army of artificially-cloned metahumans, Richtofen usually wears an ornate french cravat, usually white, paired with a white dress shirt and an overcoat of varying color, dependent on season and current weather.While participating in questionable activities (such as those listed above,) Richtofen opts to wear the regalia of the Old Empire that he once served wholeheartedly many years ago, complete with a white longcoat.
The exact shade of Richtofen's hair is debatable; any photograph, recorded video, or image of the man will always result the obstruction of his hair; previous reports point to Josef having either blond, light-brown, or grey hair.
Richtofen wears unrimmed circular glasses on occasion, and his ethnicity is Caucasian.
Richtofen weighs 64.4 kilograms and stands at a height of 179 centimeters.
Personality: Richtofen is an enigmatic individual that only has a lust for two things: the quest for greater knowledge, and WAR.
On the exterior, Richtofen is a composed, cultured person with an inspiring silver tongue and a great knowledge on the physical and mental capabilities of humans.
On the interior, Dr. Joseph is a man bent on the goal of bringing and achieving endless war to all of the world; his objective is not to wage and win wars, but to simply enjoy the violence and destruction of it all.
This disposition makes Josef secretly endorse any and all acts of war which blemishes the face of this planet: blitzkriegs, firing lines, carpet bombings, Schliffen Plans, government conspiracies, executions, mop-up operations, retreats, and expeditions, etc.; he enjoys them all.
Due to suffering from a certain traumatic event (which will be explained shortly,) Josef despises species of humanoids that are either natural metahumans or of non-human lineage.
Behind his destructive intentions, however, is an individual who holds the highest respect for the strength of his fellow human beings; if he so had the chance, Richtofen would go on for hours on the strength of human will and conviction; his speeches, seminars, and rallying testimonials do nothing less but inspire the hearts and minds of his soldiers, and whoever else who wishes to hear of it.
Besides his twisted ideals and practical skills, Richtofen is proficient with polearms and has an astonishing strategic mindset for both duels and wars.
History: The good doktor was once an ordinary young man who lived a life working in the fields of medicine and psychology.
Everything changed, however, when the German economic crash occurred after the first world war.
Richtofen's father, who was a soldier who died in the war, was a devout nationalist, and had passed his ideals to his children since their birth. His father's death caused him to join the notorious NSDAP Party. Richtofen quickly ascended the ranks due to his wit and calming nature, and was soon promoted to the rank of Oberfuhrer four months after the second world war began.
During one of his expeditions to Russia, Richtofen entrusted the protection of his family to a Gestapo officer named Adolphus van Jochen.
The invasion of Russia was a disaster when winter rolled in, and Richtofen's batallion force was decimated by the superior Russian infantry divisions.
After the Axis pulled out from Eastern Europe, Richtofen came back to his home, when he found his three siblings and mother slaughtered, all four of them having part of their neck severed; Jochen was missing, and the most recent lead of him was lost when his passport was found abandoned at the Hungarian border.
The SS took note of the incident, and invited Richtofen to become part of a classified government joint research project on the study of mysterious and otherworldly beings.
The operation hastily evolved from a simple research project to a government conspiracy involving the capture of supernatural entities for their use in creating artificial metahuman soldiers to use in the war effort against the allies. The SS was successful with utilizing vampirism and lycanthropy in their experiments, with their first subject useful subject the traitor, van Jochen, who was revealed to be a werewolf exiled an obscure and dilated line of lycanthropmorphs who resided in Austria for hundreds of years.
When the Old Empire fell, Richtofen was one of a handful of individuals who utilized Vatican passports to escape Ally-occupied Germany.
For decades, political convicts, ex-soldats, scientists, and Richtofen himself were holed up in a subterranean research station in rural Brazil, making steady progress in the disciplines of genetic engineering, sentient cloning, and biological theorism. Eventual discoveries made rendered the vast majority of the Germans in the station biologically-immortal. This rendered Josef with a body that constantly kept a static and robust age of 18 years.
The most notable modification to Josef's body, however, was the integration of the Philosopher's Stone within his body; Richtofen self-surgically replaced his heart with an artificial Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone is an object composed of elements yet unknown to mankind; Josef successfully managed to replicate the myths of an 'alchemical substance' that could turn certain materials into other certain materials, albeit with the additional side ability of using his own energy and life forces to produce said materials.
The Germans hiding in Brazil decided that they have been lying low for an extremely long period of time. The research group split, and the sympathizers of the Old Empire went in separate directions, with the majority of the soldiers following the lead of Josef von Richtofen's brilliance.
Now attempting to familiarize himself with the modern world in ways other than observation and integration, Josef decided that it was due time that he paid a visit to the only center of enlightenment in the world that could accept him for who he is: a forgotten relic of the past, blended with the charm of today.
Abilities:
+ Pocket Dimension: Richtofen has access to an empty rift in space-time where he can bend the that to his liking. Due to limits in Josef's power levels, he can only permit humans and low-level metahumans/non-humans inside, as anyone of moderate power or higher may cause the dimension to behave erratically. Josef's dimension also acts as a permanent base for his supernatural soldiers, of which he can only summon infantry without the aid of a large portal, which sucks extreme levels of energy away from Richtofen.
+ Limited Temporal abilities which can slow or stop time, depending on energy and concentration. Richtofen can also summon groups of his supernatural soldiers from his pocket dimension in exchange for moderate-to-severe amounts of energy
+ Biospark: Richtofen can temporarily alter the genetic code/physical form of a metahuman/nonhuman and convert them to a normal unpowered human for a brief period of time, usually around an unspecified amount of hours.
+ Highly-trained mental abilities which can block, interrupt, or cancel the psychological, telepathic, or disorienting powers/abilities of other supernatural entities
+/- Extraordinary ability of the Philosopher's Stone: the ability to produce any quantity or object of any material that exists in the known universe. The energy taken to produce an object is derived from Josef's own power; common objects such as clay, stone, dirt, industrial metals such as iron, steel and copper, and plentiful substances such as dark matter (which makes up 99% of the universe,) takes little energy to procure. On the contrary, objects made of precious/supernatural materials (e.g uranium, plutonium, gold, platinum, durasteel, kryptonite, magic elf crystals, oil, etc.) take huge amounts of energy to produce, many of which render Richtofen in a vulnerable state of concentration during procurement, and a severe lack of physical and mental energy afterwards, with the recovery time ranging from hours to days.
Strengths:
+ Ability to rally and inspire a vast range of individuals no matter what their allegiance, orientation, viewpoint, etc. which includes his army
+ Extremely skilled at speech and negotiation
+ Natural mastery of the Halberd and any polearm weapon
+ Proficient with pre-modern weaponry, specifically firearms
+ Uncanny ability to identify most types of metahuman/nonhuman species' with observation
Weaknesses:
- Apart from enhanced endurance and performance, an otherwise normal human body in near-peak physical form.
- Occasional bouts of overconfident megalomania/psychosis during battle
- Severe Insomnia
- Does not circulate blood like a normal human being; he has no physically-working heart; this leads to a number of never-before-seen biological issues
- Chronic fear of Russians/Slavs
- The fact that his soldiers are stronger than he is
- When using ANY form of gun not made during WW2 or before, Josef can't shoot crap
- Richtofen's abilities dwindle against normal humans. Certain humans cannot be affected at all by Josef's temporal or mental abilities,; this renders Josef exclusively 'good' against metahumans and non-humans, but significantly less effective to normal human beings, up to the point on being on par/worser than naturally-skilled humans.
