BrockenMask

**BrockenMask** (ブロッケンマスク *Burokkenmasuku*) (also known as "**CatMask I**") is a Shadowblood Elite with a cat motif, a former executive member of the Brotherhood of Shadowbloods, the father of CatMask Sr. and the grandfather of CatMask. He is an RP character conceptualized and used by Gallibon the Destroyer.

## Personality

Little is known about BrockenMask's personality, as he's been dead for a while and few people associated with him are still around. According to CatMask, he was a stoic and strict person; as he would often tell CatMask whenever they left the house they lived in that she would have to refer him as "Mr." instead of by "grandpa". He was also a major supervillain who believed that Shadowbloods were the superior race and had dreams of taking over the world. Despite this, he genuinely did care for CatMask and was very protective of her. He had some respect for OwlMask as well, often avoiding to target any members of his family, as long as he didn't try to harm his...

## History

BrockenMask was born sometime during the early 1920's and grew up on a farmland. Not much is really known about his childhood or his teenage years, but as he became the age of 20, he became a Shadowblood warrior for his land in Germany. At this time, he also forged the Golden Eagle Emblem on his at, creating a "henshin" device of sorts, granting him enhanced powers. However, he disliked humans immensely, feeling that they were inferior to his kind, the Shadowbloods and disliked their treatment towards him at the time, as he was considered to be an "alien".

BrockenMask saw Shadowbloods as the superior race, and with his megalomania continuing to rise at that point, it was then when BrockenMask decided to become a supervillain. This soon escalated to him having plans for world domination. For a while, he went unopposed, though he was still met with the occasional military fighting back against him. However it was during the late 60's where he finally found some opposition in the form of the then young and upcoming Shadowblood warrior---OwlMask. BrockenMask was OwlMask's true first opponent and the two became fierce enemies, their rivalry lasting for years, if not decades.

During this time however, BrockenMask managed to find himself a wife and then had a son and was a surprisingly good parent. He raised his son to be a warrior like him, however ultimately his son did not follow his footsteps, instead becoming a wealthy businessman. BrockenMask often kept his family life separate from his supervillain life and did his best to make sure that they would never clash with each other. During the mid 80's, he and OwlMask's rivalry ceased for a bit, due to the two of them getting older (and in BrockenMask's case, he was getting tired of constantly losing to OwlMask after so many attempts of trying to take him down and almost dying at so many times) as well as the two of them wanting to get settled with their families some more.

After this, BrockenMask would then attend his son's wedding and congratulated him. BrockenMask then went into hiding for a while. Later on, his wife died, making him a widower. Even worse, his son and his daughter-in-law were then found brutally murdered, with their daughter being the only survivor. BrockenMask would take on his granddaughter and took care of her for most of her early life. She was named **CatMask**. It was roughly when CatMask became 13 was when BrockenMask became active again as a supervillain, due to a new generation of heroes finding him out and wanting to challenge him and several other villains.

CatMask eventually discovered BrockenMask's career as a supervillain and wanted to become one too and join missions with him, but he refused and didn't allow her to go with him; as she was too young and he didn't want her to get hurt; he was also fearful of losing her as well. OwlMask also returned to fight BrockenMask once again, though this time BrockenMask found out that he too also had started a family and he had a son known as "FlamingoMask". BrockenMask respected OwlMask enough to not go after his family and stayed with that in mind for a while.

A few years then passed, and BrockenMask resurfaced, leading with him his army of Brockenites and his henchmen MacabreMask, DoradoMask and NezumiMask. He also recruited HyenaMask and MoleMask, but didn't deploy them beyond giving them simple assignments. Following OwlMask's disappearance, BrockenMask then began to reign supreme and finally take over, up until then a new hero arrived---the son of OwlMask himself, FlamingoMask. FlamingoMask then defeated most of BrockenMask's forces and soon he and BrockenMask himself fought each other. BrockenMask and FlamingoMask then fought for hours, it being a bloody and gruesome brutal fight. In the end, FlamingoMask was victorious and he managed to succeed in killing BrockenMask by slicing him in half with his light cutter attack.

CatMask then returned, only to find a dead BrockenMask. After attending her grandfather's funeral, she then found out that FlamingoMask killed him during combat and vowed to avenge him.

He later "appeared" in one of CatMask's dreams, in where he told her not to betray the family line and if she were to, she would have single-handeldly destroy the line that the clan had been building up to for years. BrockenMask then told CatMask to avenge him already instead of lying around, to which she (CatMask) then woke up.
