Why Your Character Chose to Become a Villain:
"Why have I turned my back on the light? Has the light ever illuminated my husk of a form? I have given my life for the pursuit of science... for duty and humanity. But, what I saw shows humanity is insufferable. The majority swash around ignorant to the corruption around them. The true tune of the world is that of influence and money. Science and progress fall to the backburner as the cogs of society tick ever onward. Good... evil it matters not. Actions dictate actions and science requires experimentation to move forward.
Physiological/Psychological
Appearance:
Height:
6'5"
Weight:
Variable-360+Lbs
Costume*:
(For both being a hero and for being a villain)
Body Modifications/Implants*:
Following the chemical attacks Harken had fallen to near death. With several organs failing and his eyes being essentially useless he fell into a near death coma.
Using his own power he began to convert his dying organs into something significantly worse. While outwardly human his internal organs are more Benign Cancerous growths than anything else, their functions maintained by Harken himself as well as a few external components.
While the external components are not life or death if removed, they will cause incredible pain and will slow him heavily.
Reinforced Skeletal System-
Due to the weight added and the initial ossification of his bones he has had to replace both Knee joints with mechanical implants.
Damaged Endocrine system:
While able to survive without his respirator he will begin to fall apart over prolonged periods of times. Unable to create the needed hormones naturally his respirator feeds a medicine into his system while allowing him to breath unhindered.
Sternal Plating:
Having been operated on directly after the attack Harkens Sternum was plated to reduce infection. His chest cavity is reinforced but it adds weight to his already heavy frame.
Corneal Implants:
Having entirely lost his vision following the chemical attack Harken has regained his sight through implementation. However, due to the irrepairable damage done to his optical nerve Harken was only able to see in black and white. A external implant running along his face and into his eyes allows for perception of the color spectrum.
Personality:
To say patience is one of Harkens strong suits is an understatement. Unnaturally cold and somewhat unfeeling Harken in a far shot from the man he once was both in mind and body. Following the chemical attacks that left him disabled and scarred he developed a loathing of authority and military presence. Blaming them for all that occurred to him and his patients he has begun to blur the lines between military and government affiliation. Despite his frail appearance, Harken isn't one to stand aside as incidents unfold infront of him. With his body modified internally to suit his needs he has developed a sense of strength.
Using this 'weakness' to his advantage Harken is one who will use every opening allotted to him by whomever he is after. A very devious and calculated man. One who only fully reveals himself once he is sure he has found what he seeks. Due to his power compilations, Harken has begun to withdraw from the streets. Using those infected to carry out his surveliance, Harken has found himself beginning to enter a reclusive phase of his less than whole mindset. \
Outside of his lust for revenge lies a man scarred and with mild Multiple Personality Disorder that is triggered through a specific level of violence surrounding children. When not focused or obsessed Harken has shown to be a rather well mannered and matter of fact type of individual. He is always concise and to the point... though at times he seems to lag behind some of the others due to the nature of his body both physically and at times mentally.
(Outside a topic of his knowledge. Kinda like a Alzheimers patient being given an instrument and them playing it but being unable to come to terms with other things.)
Backstory:
"How old are you Doctor Neidenwald... is that correct in its pronunciation." A voice asked. Neidenhald coughed, the noise of a respirator filling the room. "Wrong, it is Neidenhald" He responds immediately. The individual typing tense up for a moment. "Right... My apologies." The operator begins to say. "Of course it is. You are the one asking questions are you not." Neidenhald responds in kind. "What is it that you want." Neidenhald speaks before the operator can continue. "We need-" The operator began to say before Neidenhald began to laugh. The mechanical laughing only made worse by the confined room. "Everyone always wants answers? Why wont my car start? Why wont my computer turn on... why is my child suffering from chemical warfare when it was banned." Neidenhald spoke his voice turning steely.
"You were in the middle east?." The operator asked after a few moments. Neidenhald stares for a few moments as if pondering over something. Leaning forward Neidenhald took a deep breath. "Doctors without borders. Duty and humanity. It drove me once and it still does. The reality of it is that we-" Neidenhald realized he was about to begin on a rant. "Doctors without borders. You all went into hell to-" The operator was cut off "Make it a better place? That was what we were told." Neidenhald responded. "You all did quite alo-" Neidenhald held his hand up. "No we didn't. Each time we place a brick towards the foundation of something larger it was bull dozed by something... normally a indifferent military attack." His voice didn't shake or wane. "What happened?" The operator finally asked.
"Thats the big question isn't it. They all ask... Doctor what happened to you. Its simple... I realized that we as people are nothing. Each day we strive to make the word a better place. To rise up and conquer the dark. I believe in a code of ethics... a code of doing. To make each day count towards a better tomorrow. Atleast, I did." Neidenhald scoffs. "What changed?" The operator continued. Standing up Neidenhald stretched. "The war changed. Those pulling the strings changed and everything that seems normal in the world is tossed into the wind. Where once we doctors were men and women of duty, to repair those that could not themselves. To go out into the dark and bring light wherever it is needed. To treat and care..." Neidenhald exhaled. Gripping his chair the wood strained audibly.
Taking a seat Neidenwald sat up straight.
"The answer is simple... and you will never forget it."
Gripping the side of his mask Neidenhald pulls, an audible hiss filling the room. Moving the mask out of the way Neidenhald stared at the operator with his cold dead eyes.
"Between monsters and men lie a grey zone. Watching my hospital fall prey to a chemical weapons attack was a day I can never shake. It destroyed me as... you see first hand."
The operator seemed frozen.
"You seem startled Eisen! Like you've see a ghost. But... you dont believe in ghost stories do you Eisen." Neidenhald spoke.
Hurried footsteps can be heard as the noise of movement fills the audio. The noise of slow dripping begins. The audible rasping of a respirator can be heard before laughing. "Now... you take that to where it needs to go. Its been some time... I hope you still have your .....Bravado..."

Extra
This theme below fits why he is a villain.
I am not going to allow Nosokinesis to constuct items from biologic material. That is a straight up no-go. As well as, Nosokinese in of itself doesn't seem to have enough draw backs. The biggest one is 'they can infect themselves' however due to your characters background it doesn't seem as though they'll be particularly susceptible, and the rest are more so focused on the opponent's ability to combat the power then actual draw backs to the power itself. The only thing that is a true draw back is the accidental infecting other people, but that has the problem of being more classified as 'friendly fire' then a drawback to your character, as nothing in their personality would seem to care if they ended up knocking down an ally in the process.
Please come up with more draw backs to the power or specify how the drawbacks listed are going to be problems for your character.
