Archetype:Big Man
Name: Chok-Lad
Alias:Beast from the River, Monster of Choklad inc, Chocolate lad
Age:56
Powers: Polymorph physiology- Chok-Lad is capable of contorting his body into nearly any form though he tends not to go very in-depth with his transformations. He mostly uses his powers to form defences such as back spikes or open up holes and let projectiles pass through or he uses it for basic offences such as forming hammers or containing items of sentimental or useful value such as his Walkmen or rocks.
Magical- Since he was created from magic, Chok-Lad has a few extra ordinary powers. As Chok-Lad fights more he begins to heat up allowing him to scold his opponents in a drawn out fight. One other quirk of his creation is his ability to track down things with particular magical value such as wizards or artifacts. Lastly he has the capability to draw upon huge reserves of magical energy but this is pretty useless as he is literally to dumb to learn any spells.
Weaknesses:
Idiot- Chok-Lad is pretty dumb. He can’t talk very much, he can’t do math, he isn’t any kind of strategist and he is only knowledgable in survival and music.
Magical- Thanks to his artifactual creation, there are those that know how Chok-Lad ticks and this can be a huge weakness as this could be an easy way to kill or incapacitate him.
Alignment:
Walking the line
Personality:
empty, dumb, innocent, aggressive, refrigerator
BRIEF Bio:
In the sixties the very successful Swedish company Choklad incorporated was on a rise as they released their newest candy bar “Chok-Lad’s triple chocolate spectacular” which displayed their now almost forgotten to the public mascot, Chok-Lad the chocolate lad. The huge amount of sales from the chocolate bar were thought to have come from the revival of the classic mascot so Steve Midas (a CEO of Choklad inc) decided that they could get their foot in the door with the family fun restaurant market and make their own kids restaurant chain with animatronic Chok-Lad’s at every location.
Right off the bat things weren’t looking good, the first store was barely making enough money to turn a profit and people were complaining about the horrible quality of the animatronics on the stage claiming it wasn’t real enough. Faced with a tough situation, the CEO’s of Choklad decided to cut their losses and scrap the restaurant idea but before the vote was passed a self proclaimed wizard came to Steve to offer his assistance. The Wizard told Steve the story of the Golem of Prague and how it had been equivalent of a magical robot which could be used to easily replace animatronics and make them obsolete. Desperate, Steve jumped at the offer and commissioned one of these golems from the man while he stalled the passing of getting rid of the store. In little more than a week the golem was done and in the board room of Choklad inc.
The CEO’s were baffled at how life like the creature looked, it was almost identical to the Chok-Lad depicted in their posters and commercials. The CEO’s agreed to commission more ‘golems’ from this supposed wizard and put one of these Chok-Lads in every store they had (which by this point was five). What the CEOs didn’t know was that these golems weren’t all that they were made out to be; they were actually chocolate sculptures brought to life with demonic energy, and once given a signal they would go on a rampage through New Athens. After a week of bringing in tons of customers, the creatures were finally given their signal and went on a rampage through the city. The living sculptures were very good at causing destruction but they were taken down pretty quickly by their own power. As the creatures continued to wreak havoc their demonic energies flared and eventually melted them into puddles which were washed away by the rain.
To cut their loses, Choklad inc fired Steve Midas and paid off most witnesses of the attack to keep their mouths shut. All seemed to be over and done with but in the coming months people began to report sightings of a creature coming out in the night and robbing deli stores leaving behind a sweet scent and sugary residue. In recent years the sightings of this creature have waned but theres still some people who say they can smell it’s sweet scent when they walk by sewage pipes that lead into the Kirby river.
Storylines:
Scuffle in the Sewers- Some unfortunate hero or villain finds themselves in the sewers for whatever reason and find more than just baby gators and rats.
Notes:
-The ‘sweet scent near the sewage pipes’ myth is often used as a joke since most of the time it just does smell like sewage.
-He keeps a pet Tortoise named Picassio
-Picasso is probably the most complex word he can say
