The Disposable Enquiry [Round 1: Kyyhkynen]
#19
Re: The Disposable Enquiry
Username: some huge nerd

Theme Words: Gentlemanly, Junkyard

Name: Baron von Schrottplatz

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Color: The color of top hats. (#555555)

Description: The first thing one would notice about the Baron is that all of his clothing is made out of garbage. Plastic bags, bits of old couches, and the like. In spite of this, he surprisingly doesn't smell like, well, a junkyard. He dresses almost like a cartoonish villain - top hat (made out of old tires), flowing cape (bedsheets and trash bags), monocle (bottom of a wine glass), walking stick (an old ski), etc. Upon his face is an equally stereotypish tweedly mustache, which he naturally has a perchant for twirling while putting his evil schemes in motion. Personality-wise, he is scheming, conniving, and other various adjectives that ultimate mean he's an utter bastard. In short, he's evil for the sake of being evil.

However, he also has the air of a stereotypical British gentleman, exaggerated accent and all. He is known to drink tea quite frequently (as well as fine wine), and perhaps enjoy a spot of polo between attacks on the British Empire. Schrottplatz is not in fact his real name, and he is not actually German.

Weapons and Abilities: Baron von Schrottplatz would be entirely unremarkable, were it not for the fact that he is complete and total control over garbage. He can form garbage into structures at will, such as his own clothing, and can launch it at his enemies at will. He can collect anything labeled by most as "garbage", though the exact definition is up for grabs. Anything in a trash can is fine, and he should be kept away from landfills at all costs.

His most impressive use of this ability, however, is his construction of a full-scale, working, heavily-weaponized zeppelin, known as the HMS Schrottplatz. He's pretty shameless. He has used this zeppelin in a number of raids on the Empire, including his partial destruction of London in 1873. And his subsequent re-destruction of London in 1876. He probably just has nothing better to do. The zeppelin has been brought with him for the purposes of this battle.

Biography: Transcript from a July 18, 1876 action news report, played over the radio throughout the British Empire.

Reporter: "This is an urgent broadcast from your action news reporter! It would appear that the mysterious figure who calls himself 'Baron von Schrottplatz' has returned to London! Reconstruction efforts after his original attack are far from finished, but it appears he was not satisfied with the results of his first attack! A travesty! I'm here on the scene at Baker Street!"

[Screaming picks up in the background]

Reporter: "Citizens are running in fright as the Baron's zeppelin approaches the city! The Royal Militia's bullets are deflected by the hull - they are powerless to stop it!"

[Explosion]

Reporter: "Bloody hell! Big Ben has been completely obliterated by the zeppelin's shelling! Who knew that trash could be so devastating? The zeppelin is continuing on its path toward Buckingham Palace! Queen Victoria is in grave danger!"

[Explosion, yelling]

Reporter: "London Bridge has been collapsed! All efforts to stop the Baron have failed! We can only hope that he will stop before he has destroyed all of the British Empire!"

[Several more explosions]

Reporter: "Bollocks! The Tower of London has fallen! The House of Commons has collapsed as well!"

[Even more explosions, woman shouts "Oh, goodness!" very loudly.]

Reporter: "Baker Street has been hit hard! I have barely managed to avoid the shrapnel and destruction from the shelling! But the news must continue! He's almost to Buckingham Palace now! Cripes!"

[You guessed it, explosions]

Reporter: "Buckingham Palace has fallen! The Baron's airship has turned around and is heading back this way, directly toward what's left of Baker Street! Does his destruction even have a purpose? Bloody hell, it's right over me! It's-"

[Explosions and yelling, followed by static. Static lasts for about forty seconds, before cutting out to an unknown voice. Voice is later revealed to be that of the Baron.]

Baron: "Good day to you, British Empire. As you can see, I have once again destroyed most of London. For what reason, you may ask?"

[Faint sipping of tea is heard]

Baron: "I must confess to you that, unfortunately, I had little reason to destroy London. I simply thought it invigorating to destroy your political structure so easily! In truth, you could have done much better, old chaps. It's only a load of trash! Now then, I might as well make a few... 'requests' of you. First, I would li-"

[The broadcast ends suddenly. It was observed that the Baron's zeppelin disappeared from the sky at the moment that the broadcast cut out. Cause of this disappearance is unknown, and is under investigation.]
