### Debut

Legacy Cut: The Ultimate Ghostbusters

Ivan Walker (sometimes known as Ivan the Terrible) was an infamous German surgeon, Sumerian cult teacher, and Sumerian cult worshipper with a career lasting 154 years. He was considered to be a madman for his bizarre practices in the supernatural and also believed to be a prophet by the people of Germany due to his abnormally long life and soon exiled him out of fear due to his paranormal beliefs.

Ivan moved to New York in 1914 to continue his Sumerian and Gozerian worshipping with Ivo Shandor as the two formed a close bond and made multiple landmark locations that were designed to pull in spiritual turbulence. Walker then moved to Sydney, Nova Scotia in 1939 to further his worshipping and paranormal relations before his death in 1958, resulting him to return as a vengeful spirit in 2017 with plans to take back the world that shut him out. However, he was soon stopped by the Legacy Ultimate Ghostbusters.

## Biography

### Early Life

Born to psychotic travelling businessman Guten Walker and mother, Evelyn Walker, Ivan Walker was born in Germany on December 2, 1778. He was raised in a household of extreme Sumerian worshippers, with his father believing he was the chosen one and would soon be reborn as a God alongside Gozer the Gozerian.

### Career

Ivan had become a surgeon in 1804, despite his questionable medical procedures and practices that were more experimental doings. It is believed he killed eight patients by 1811 in order to test if their souls or otherworldly presence could be detected after death. This made him an outcast from society and labeled as a mad-man since very few trusted the doctor.

### Worshipping

Decades passed as Ivan continued studying and preaching the word of the Sumerians, believing that one day Gozer the Gozerian would arrive on Earth and he would be able to walk alongside them. By 1878 on his 100th birthday, Walker concluded that the reason he lived such a long life was due to his beliefs and rituals in the name of Gozer. The rest of Germany undoubtedly thought he was a prophet and were terrified of him, so they all avoided anywhere the man could be. By 1914, Ivan had been chased out of Germany and exiled because of his extreme supernatural practices that caused fear amongst the citizens of his town.

### Meeting Shandor

Arriving in New York in late 1914, Walker had met and quickly befriended Ivo Shandor, another Sumerian and Gozerian worshipper. Together, the two worshipped Gozer in hopes of their return to Earth and had worked together to build locations around New York notable for pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. After the First World War, Shandor decided society was too sick to survive and conducted rituals that were intended to bring about the end of the world. This continued until 1939 when Walker moved to Sydney, Nova Scotia to further the word of his preachings.

### Life In Sydney

Following what he and Shandor did in New York, Ivan continued his rituals and building landmarks to harness spiritual turbulence, most notably the Sydney Central Train Line which ran under Fairview Street to the Shandor Co. Louisa Park. The construction finished in 1949 and was connected to the rest of the city's train lines. Tanks of a suspicious substance were stored in the walls behind the train line, now known to be energized slime.

### Death

This life for Ivan continued up until January 1, 1958 where he was shot, poisoned, stabbed, hung, and decapitated by unknown rival cult worshippers on Fairview Street. Despite being 180 years old at the time, Ivan's "life" was far from over as his spirit returned, anchored to the train line under the street, waiting for the perfect time to be unleashed.

### Hauntings

In June of 2017, ghost sightings and reports began to slowly rise as paranormal activity became more common in the city. All locations that reported the activity were somehow linked back to Ivan, meaning he had interfered with them in some way to people paranormal accessible areas. This also led to a build up of psychokinetic energy under the streets and the release of the slime in the now abandoned train line, emitting ghosts from the Ghost World.

### Slime Investigations

A month later in mid-July 2017, Fennett H. W. MacIntyre had developed a Psychokinetic Energy meter (also known as a PKE meter) to detect paranormal presences. Testing out the device on Fairview Street, Fennett picked up extremely strong readings near a sewer grate, believing something was building up underneath the street.

Frank Hennick soon came to aid Fennett in the investigation. Fennett said he was getting readings from multiple ghosts and someone named "Ivan Walker" as their spiritual energy and presence was building more and more through means of bad energy in the city.

Having went underground through the sewer, Fennett had seen a river of slime flowing through an old subway station, which was once the Sydney Central Train Line. He believed this is what was emitting the ghosts around the city and the reason Ivan Walker had started coming through the PKE meter.

### Meeting Fennett

While Fennett investigated the slime build up more with Frank, he suddenly passed out, unbeknownst to him. Ivan had found a way to remove Fennett from reality and contact him personally, something he was now capable of doing thanks to the strength giving to him by the energized slime that was charging up from the bad energy of the city. Ivan reveals himself to Fennett as the demi-god he was, noting his birth year and the brutal way he died. Before the conversation can continue, Frank slaps an unconscious Fennett on the side of the road, walking him up from this experience and cutting the discussion short. After this, Fennett went into the ghostbusting business, officially making the Ghostbusters and Ivan enemies.

### Ivan's Unleash

On August 14, 2017, Fennett and Teo Spengler head back to the sewer grate on Fairview Street to do another checkup, and Fennett remarks that he has a bad feeling about it and that something doesn't feel right. All theories and evidence point to whatever is under the street being the cause of it all, yet they're not sure what they can do about it just yet. As they leave, Ivan Walker forms into the reality for the first time, taking on a physical form as a ghost but looking human. Fennett and Teo don't notice this, but Ivan Walker had now been manifested and was a free spirit, capable of roaming as he pleased and no longer anchored to the train line.

### Standing Against The Ghostbusters

On December 30, 2017, Déjà Vu finds Fennett and Teo on Fairview Street and warns them that he's sensing "huge" spectral energy and he had to come check it out. Fennett tells him it's Ivan Walker trying to communicate to him and Teo, but he can't pick up what he's saying. Ivan was trying to convey his message about the destruction that was coming to their world. Déjà Vu told Fennett that he'd be able to channel his energy but that it's been messing up his mind, deducing it would be better if the Fast were with him in case something went wrong.

The following day on December 31, 2017, or New Years Eve, Déjà Vu returns with the Fast as Fennett and Frank come equipped with their proton packs and PKE meter. and Déjà Vu begins to channel the evil demi-god and Frank tells them that Walker is "coming in". Déjà Vu says that's perfect as he now knows where he'll be thanks to his powers. Déjà Vu leads the team down the street and to where they can expect to meet Ivan, but unbeknownst them, Ivan had manifested directly behind them and was silently stalking. Ivan's plan was to lure them to the spot of his burial, somewhere he was the strongest, and the plan was working.

### The Final Battle

Making it the Louisa Gardens Park, the Ghostbusters prepare for Ivan's arrival. The team and the heroes become ready for what will be the fight of a lifetime. The sun starts to set and sure enough, Ivan arrives. He tells the team his plan to take back the world that once rejected him with his army of ghosts, but the Ghostbusters vow to not let that happen. Ivan begins to attack them all with his powers, but they are able to put up a fight with their proton streams. However, those start failing quickly and they switch to an alternate setting on the packs, the stasis stream. It begins working but Ivan uses his unholy powers to paralyze the Ghostbusters onto the ground while the Fast and Déjà Vu manage to escape the immediate area. Stuck to the ground, Fennett begins to insult Ivan who ups the pain they're feeling, causing all of the men to scream in agony. Before he can continue the torture, the Fast arrives at a super sonic speed and punches Ivan across the jaw, knocking him into Déjà Vu who punches him back over to the Fast. This frees the Ghostbusters who get back up but at the cost of Ivan now freezing the Fast. Déjà Vu uses his powers to mess with Walker's mind, letting go of the Fast and immobilizing the demi-god. The Fast warns the Ghostbusters that they can't hold him much longer and need to try something, so all they blast Ivan with their proton streams and with the assistance of the Fast and Déjà Vu. Suddenly, Richard stops shooting and begins walking towards Ivan. The team calls out for him as he turns around, possessed by Ivan. Fennett uses the extraction stream to unbind the two, putting Ivan back into his body. The team call off their shots and duck behind a park bench. Teo tells them sternly that he has one last idea, to cross the streams, a dangerous move that could result in every molecule in one's body exploding at the speed of light and just one of them has a three percentage chance of survival. Knowing it's their only chance to stop him, they all agree to it and begin the plan. Déjà Vu starts it off by using his powers, along with the Fast next. Fennett begins firing his proton stream and so does everyone else simultaneously.

The clock strikes midnight as the Ghostbusters enact their plan, meaning it's now January 1, 2018. They say their goodbyes briefly and cross the streams, causing a massive explosion to consume the park as the team tries to run but get caught in it. The smoke lifts and they all lay motionless on the ground until Frank is heard talking to himself as they all get up, realizing they somehow survived. The Fast comes back over to the scene, having gotten away from it at the speed of life possibly responsible for saving everyone's life.

Ivan's spirit was reserved through the gateway of the Ghost World to reality, essentially sending him into the Ghost World with no way back into reality. His decapitated head is all that remains in the real world.

### In The Ghost World

Having returned to the dimension he hoped to have permanently said goodbye to, some of the more powerful spirits of the Ghost World exile Ivan into the Void, a dark limbo outside of space and time. His exile harkens back to his exile out of Germany, now leaving his soul to forever be trapped in what is nothingness for eternity.
