In Battle: “War Pig” - War and conflict invigorates Blackwood, and gives him a drive to participate and propagate it as much as possible.

For each follower, ally or battle buddy in a battle, Blackwood recovers 1 fatigue per turn to a maximum of 2. For each opponent in a battle, Blackwood recovers a additional 1 fatigue per turn to a maximum of 2 (for a total of 4)

If somebody is killed, Blackwood gains a recovery burst of 10 fatigue.

Unique: “Blackwood Arms Inc:” - Blackwood is an arms dealer, the majority of what he sells he created himself either with his own hands or with factories and workers under his employ.

At the beginning of any battle, Blackwood may pay any amount of zenni to create 1 or more battle buddies with a % of his PL equal to the amount he spent at a rate of 1:100 (100z = 1% PL). This amount can not exceed Blackwood’s own battle buddie limit.

Battle Buddies created this way are ‘androids’ for the purpose of race and have the Scattershot and Power Blitz techniques.

If any Battle Buddies survive the battle, Blackwood is refunded half the cost spent.

Backstory

- History -

James Blackwood was originally not from universe 7, but from universe 6 instead. He lived on Earth there in a time where it was still green and lush and the government was at peace. While he grew up he realized he wasn’t like other people. He had powers beyond any normal person had and was far smarter than his age would tell. When he confronted his father about it he told him he was created, not born, with his experiments. He then led James down to the basement of their home and showed him everything. It turned out that James’s father was a super villain who had recently retired.

Since then his father took him on as his apprentice. As James learned his father was impressed at the speed his talents grew. Eventually the young man’s talents surpassed that of his teacher. When he was 19 he left his home and started out on his own. For the next few years he built up a large array of assets. Materials, money and personnel. Under the name ‘Blackwood Arms inc.’ James created weapons of all shapes and sizes and sold them to whomever needed them most. Eventually, he discovered that the two largest nations of Earth had some secret bad blood between them and aired them out publicly. A few rumors here, a couple of bribes there and a well placed assassination caused the world to erupt into a full scale war. It was during this time that he discovered two things. The first was that the more the globe shifted towards conflict and war the stronger he became. The second was that he enjoyed it, that such a feeling to him was…invigorating.

James watched as his creations caused more and more destruction, ultimately culminating in the decimation of the planet. James walked on its scorched surface, along its remains on the ground that he once called his own race, and smiled at his work. He had never felt so alive.

But it wasn’t enough, he wanted more. With what remained of the surface he constructed a spaceship and journey across the universe. He met many different alien races and some that looked exactly like humans. From each of them he learned different things. Combat techniques, how people fought, and what they desired. It was here that James Blackwood restarted his company once again at a universal scale. For the next 6 years James led a life of arms dealing and extreme wealth. Fleets of ships, armies of automated soldiers, weapons of many different shapes and sizes were made, all the while the universe slowly broke down into armed conflicts.

He would have continued with his ways if it wasn’t for Cabba, a saiyan of universe 6 and the emperor of the universe, Frost. They defeated him and imprisoned him within a prison in a heavily guarded asteroid. Stripped of his assets and left isolated in his cell, James felt like he would go mad from the isolation. It was then that a strange woman of pale blue skin appeared in front of him. Introducing herself as Towa, she offered him freedom and a clean slate, in exchange for him continuing what he did before in another universe.

To James, this was a win-win scenario and blindly accepted her deal. With a grasp of her hand he found himself on Earth, on Universe 7.

- Personality -

James is something of a monster, one would say. He enjoys war and conflict wherever he goes. If there isn’t any, he’ll often create it himself regardless if he gets caught in the crossfire or not. Thanks to his intelligence and ingenuity this was often done by creating weapons, selling them to both sides and then spark a fight between the two parties. He cares little about the feelings and lives of others that are lost in such fights except for those who are like minded. Despite all of this he is remarkably charismatic and even sociable at times, being able to talk his way out of many situations, or into.

He is not sadistic however. Torture and slavery are above him and most of the time likes to get his own hands dirty, although he does like to test his weapons. Despite his addiction to warfare and conflict he does hold back if he knows the situation is extremely not in his favor, but sometimes his desires can outweigh his common sense. James is also driven heavily by wealth due to his lavish lifestyle. Big houses, spaceships, many servants, vices, fine food and drink, women and more. He enjoys them all at a fast pace. The arms dealer is also more than happy to share his wealth with those willing to work for him, and often treats them rather well while working for him.
