Salem Info
Salem (He/Him)
My self insert goes by Salem, but I go by Frankie. Just to seperate myself from the OC. But he is still based on myself personality and appearance wise.
level -3.5 Villain He's a Candy Demon and grew up in the (Unnamed spooky town), he works part time as a hair dresser with Mr. Logic His villain name isn't established so he uses his first name.
Personality He's a bit of a lazy airhead. Hes also quite stubborn. But he's very sweet when you get to know him. He's a mediocre villain. He takes ideas from existing villains and gets alot of slack for plagiarism. Not out of malicious intent, he's just lazy. He would get alot of his supplies aswell as create "inventions" from outside of the neutral zone to not raise any suspicion
Powers He has candy manipulation powers, primarily licorice. ex. Licorice lasso, he could mold the candy to create a weapon etc. His main weakness is heat based powers or weather manipulation, it effects the candy's durability
Fun fact: the licorice is strawberry flavored
he also has wings he can fly with but he prefers not to use them unless he really needs to. Flying is incredibly tiring for him.
Salem Backstory
Salem got into villainy when he was pretty young despite his mom being a Hero. His mom used to attend point prep but never ended up making it into POINT. cough cough one of the professor's has weather manipulation powers. Salem always wanted to make a name for himself. But he inherited his mother's powers and ultimately decided to take a different path. He assumed since his mother's powers couldn't get her through Point prep there was no use in trying to attend. His powers were admittedly and afterthought lol, but I decided that he prefers to stray away from candy aesthetics since that was more of his mom's thing.
Salem and Venomous
Salem made the mistake of copying the blueprints to Professor Venomous's Doomsday device. Venomous confronted him personally. Salem of course.. didn't listen and continued to copy him out of spite. They had a rivalry where Salem wanted to become more successful off of his work but it failed. They both related to eachother when it came to craving success.
Present era
Eventually the two of them became friends and now are both struggling to admit they like each other.
Like dorks. Despite acting like they're already dating. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
