Virgil: The Man Under The Mask

Just like my last post, this a repost from my old blog that has been updated for the new changes I have planned.

Before I start telling the stories, I thought I would tell you a little about Virgil. The best way to describe him is that he is a pacifist with access to nuclear weapons. The pacifist part is literal, but the nukes are figural, but no less lethal. He wasn't always so easygoing, being a hellraiser in his youth, but events in his life changed his views. One such event haunts him everyday.


He hates guns, and believes heavily in gun control. He has a nanadan rank in Aikido, but tries to talk his way out before using it. And he never fights in front of his son, Henri, (pronounced Henry). He splits his time between his son and mother, Alicia, helping his neighbors, and working as a private investigator/security consultant. He considers himself an Independent Investigator, and tries to avoid taking unsavory cases, while working mostly pro bono. And he doesn't date because he views himself as a danger to women.

One final thing to know about Virgil is that he is trying to be the everyman, but he can't be. He has too many things that set him apart from the everyday person and the least is that he's a masked crimefighter.
