Charles Borg

*“Soon I will have all of Zorcob's greatest creations in my grasp...!”*

— Charles as Wangami

* Human
* Avatar
* Wangami
* Neo Viper

**Charles Borg**, also known in The Game as **Wangami** and **Neo Viper**, is the main antagonist of *Update 1.14.4*.

Borg is a up and coming inventor living in Ogaji City inspired by the creations of his father's old partner, the great Zorcob Frost. Taking this adoration to the next level, Charles reinvented Zorcob's original hero training ground "The Game" as a trap to obtain Zorcob's three greatest creations: his children.

Borg lures Zachary and Lavender Frost into The Game to trick them into thinking they were helping his beta test it, but in reality it was all a ploy to test their different skills so that he could eventually capture them.

As Wangami, Borg is the ruler of the Empire of Madness within The Game, and Neo Viper is the hero who will stop the villain. All this was manufactured by Borg to kidnap Zack and Lavender, and eventually G.

## History

### Early History

Not much is known about Charles' early life except that he grew up admiring Zorcob Frost and his work for most of it.

He would develop an obsession when Genesis made his appearance clear, and when the Children of Creation began to surface.

### Reinventing The Game

After realizing that Zachary and Lavender Frost were in the market to discovering how to cure their brother G, Charles developed the cure immediately, and made plans to be in total control over all 3 siblings after curing G himself.

Charles went on to update another one of Zorcob's creations, the virtual reality training facility called "The Game." Charles refurbished it so that it was like no other virtual reality experience yet. He created the Empire of Madness inside, as well as hundreds of NPCs to live in it. He made it to be a trap, as well as a skill tester for his new play things.

In order to sell the illusion of no fowl play, Charles created the antagonist, Wangami, and hero Neo Viper (all his own avatar) to make the game seem real, as well as a "side-quest" that was Neo Viper attempting to stop Wangami from "entering the real world," which again was all a lie made up by Charles.

### Ogaji Origins

#### Update 1.14.4

Charles eventually tracks down Zack and Lavender (while they are accompanied by Tom Phan) gets the to agree to meet with him at the University in secret to get their component updated and repaired in exchange that the three of them test out his newest technology.

After evading the guards set up by G, the group meets Charles Borg, son of Zorcob Frost's former partner. Charles is given the component to update, and his assistant gives the heroes a tour of their facility. The three of them discover dozens of incredible never before seen inventions, as well as the newest project being worked on by Charles.

He joins them to tell them his biggest project yet: The Game 2.0, an update to Zorcob's famous virtual reality training ground. A complete virtual refurbishment meant to lead the next generation of heroes to defeat G. Charles lies saying that The Game is incomplete, as of now, but he wanted the three of them to be his beta testers. He explains that The Game now has a "story mode:" In the Empire of Madness, the terrible Emperor Wangami has taken total dominion. The main protagonist, Neo Viper, must make his way through the terrible traps and terrains of Wangami's world to defeat him. The heroes would be virtually encrypted into the game, fighting alongside Neo Viper. They will each have 3 lives, and if they lose all 3, they return to real life unharmed.

The group agrees to participate, especially Zack, who is enthusiastic about playing.

The three are transported in and meet Neo Viper (who is Charles in avatar form.) The four of them go through the first level as they're supposed to, but as they keep going, things start to seem strange. Viper starts talking about things he shouldn't know about, the outside world, Elemental Masters, and a virus.

He reveals to the heroes that "The Game" is no longer just a game. Unbeknownst to Charles Borg and the other scientists, the characters in this virtual reality world have begun to think for themselves. The story has become real, as Viper explains that a virus has caused Emperor Wangami to do terrible things, worse than Charles programmed him to do. His goal is to inject the virus all over the Empire of Madness, gaining complete control, eventually to enter the outside world.

The only way for the heroes to stop him is to confront him at his castle, and the only way to get there is to find the two Key-Blades to open the gates of the temple.

The four of them embark on their journey to find the Key-Blades, defeating boss enemies in a high speed race, and a fighting tournament. Along their way the find the Mad Market, where Neo Viper and the heroes become very close. They find out that Neo has always wanted to see the outside world, and the others agree to take him there once all this is over. Unfortunately, each of them only had one life left, except for Tom who had two. Finally, they arrive at the Empire Temple.

Inside they find the Emperor and confront him. Wangami is a powerful villain, the Elemental Master of Code. He attempts to finish them off with his mechanical Empire Dragon, who kills Tom, but Neo finishes both off. Victory is theirs, or so they thought, as the dragon reawakens and murders Neo.

In his dying words, Viper tells Zack and Lavender to return to Ogaji by stabbing themselves with the Key-Blades, as it is the only way to return to the real world. They do it, but instead of being transported away, they are suddenly trapped in a cage. Viper stands up and the dragon freezes in it's place. Zack and Lavender are confused as Viper is then killed by Wangami, and he is killed by Viper, and them again by each other.

Wangami and Viper transform back and forth between each other until they are one. Wangami reveals that he and Viper are one and the same. He played them-- tricked them into trusting him. His sole purpose was to trick them so that he may steal their Elemental Power.

Suddenly, Charles interjects saying he's finally discovered the virus, and he apologizes for taking so long. He uses his control over The Game to destroy Wangami for good, and frees Zack and Lavender.

They're thankful for his help, but Tom is still dead. Suddenly, Charles starts shifting between Neo and Wangami and himself. He laughs and claims he has fooled them again, as he has been behind this all along. Inspired by his greatest hero, Zorcob Frost, he refurbished one of his greatest creations, and hopes to add 3 more to his collection. He uses a virus he installed in the Key-Blades to factory reset the two siblings. With them, he will take G for himself to complete the set. His reasoning for trapping them in this game and making them play through it was all for his enjoyment.

His monologue is stopped by Tom, who actually had one life left. He and Charles swordfight, but Charles has total dominion over the realm they are in, so he creates copies of all of the boss enemies, as well as Wangami, Neo Viper, Zack, and Lavender to fight him. Tom is overwhelmed, but realizes that by killing himself is the only way to end it.

He uses the Empire Dragon to his advantage, and it blasts through all of them, defeating himself, Zack, Lavender, and Charles.

He does this, and when they return to Ogaji, Charles is now powerless. The three heroes show him who's boss and they take back the component that he updated for them. Finally ready to take on G...

Following his defeat, it is unknown what became of him, or if he is even still living as of now.

## Personality

Charles is shown to be a keen observer and incredibly smart individual. He was able to code in the entire world of The Game 2.0 all on his own, and created the perfect trap for the two Frost Siblings.

## Powers and Abilities

While Charles has no special abilities in the real world, in The Game, he has the element of "Code," which was invented by him. With the Element of Code he is able to control anything and everything within the virtual reality world. In reality, there is no magical power involved, he is just the master of the game.

## Author's Notes

* His name was originally Maxwell Borg but I realized I literally already have a character named Maxwell...
	+ Thanks to my sister for finding me the name Charles.
* He is slightly inspired by Milton Dyer from LEGO Ninjago, though I had no idea who he was when Charles was created.
