The Marvelous Malini: Master of Magic*My submission for a villain design contest held by Beefcakeboss on InstagramPowers/Abilities: The Marvelous Malini draws his powers from the necronomicon and therefore has access to demonic and arcane spells and witchcraft. Unfortunately Malini can’t read ancient Sumerian, so his spell casts don’t always go as intended. It’s not uncommon for Malini to cast what he believes to be a devastating attack spell, only to have it start raining blood and dead doves. Attack spells that can be cast successfully include: arcane lightning, hell-fireballs, darkmatter missiles, defensive barrier, limited teleportation and summoning a large bunny shaped homunculus named Carl for hand-to-hand physical attacks on behalf of The Marvelous Malini.Weakness: Without the necronomicon, The Marvelous Malini is nothing more than a stage magician. He is powerless without the book in his hands, and thus, only has parlor tricks and hypnotism at his disposal.Bio: Maximilian Malini was born and raised in Las Vegas Nevada. Growing up “Maxi” was obsessed with magic and the Rat Pack era Vegas. As an adult, Maximilian became the main act at a boylesque and magic show on the Vegas Strip called, Tricks of the Trade. Behind the scenes, Malini was an entitled lech who would hypnotize and sexually assault his handsome assistants. Publicly, Malini enjoyed great success and used his money to collect memorabilia from the 50’s and 60’s as well as funding his quest to find real magic. Serendipitously, his two passions combined when he won a piano used by Liberace at a Christie’s Auction and discovered the necronomicon hidden in the bench seat. Foolishly believing the discovery to be his ticket to stardom, untrained and unprepared Malini immediately worked the necronomicon into his act that very night, with the help of Google Translate. What resulted was true horror as Malini transported half of his assistant to a nightmare dimension and summoned demonic playing cards that eviscerated the audience. Malini is now on the run and has gone underground. Not out of fear that that authorities will hold him accountable for the atrocities committed at Tricks of the Trade that night, but out of fear the necronomicon will be taken away from him. Malini has become addicted to real magic and the necronomicon whispers to him to find and acquire more, at any cost. -- source link
