❝ Born to poor Romani in the small European nation of Latveria, Victor Von Doom lost his mother to the devil's bargain, and not long after, his father to a tyrant king. Alone, a boy discovers his mother's trove of mystical artifacts and sets himself on a path of darkness to reclaim her soul. His scientific acumen sets him in collision with Reed Richards, his roommate and academic rival when Victor finds himself whisked away to the New World; seeking knowledge with which to salve his wounded soul.During his time in New York, he secretly experimenrted with a device of his own creation to bridge the gap between dimensions, only to fall short and be scarred by the sting of his own failures. Expelled for his wounded pride, Doom finds himself in Tibet, acquiring his armor and mask by way of domination over a group of monks high in the mountains. Alone, Doom returns to Latveria, overthrowing its monarch and developing his command of science and the mystic arts; to salve his soul, and save that of his mother.

The magic-laden vibranium armor provides Doom protections from attack and the elements, bolstered several times over by a personal shield-generator; later augmented for the addition of several other forms of shielding. His gauntlets may produce blasts of concussive force, and through a miniaturized teleportation system, Doom may go where he sees fit.Doom's unparalleled sophistication in robotics has allowed him to surround himself, and by extension, Latveria, with a multitude of cybernetic guardsmen and servants, affectionately dubbed "Doombots." Beyond this, Doom also claims one of the most thorough archives of magic spells and artifacts on the planet; and the skill to use them to maximum effect. Doctor Strange is quoted as noting that Doom "is an expert in mystic arts so dark that even the Sorcerer Supreme doesn't know about them."

▍ ❝   I.
Latveria is secluded away from Europe, and by extension, the world. Do not presume to have your character slip past its many defenses, nor to have been invited to Doomstadt without initial conversation. Doom does not take kindly to intruders, nor do I.

▍ ❝   II.
Doom is a master of the mystic arts, most forms of combat, and has an array of weapons and defenses at his disposal. I do not tolerate godmodding if our thread heads in the direction of a fight, nor if your character brings up facts they themselves would not know; a la Batman and Bruce Wayne are the same person.

▍ ❝   III.
Doom will appear cold and offputting at initial meetings; do not take it to heart if his demeanor and guard are up when in conversation with total strangers. DMs are open by request for relationship development.

▍ ❝   MARVEL.
Standard biography applies, with references to select comic runs, series, and personal headcanons.

▍ ❝   DC.
Doom will visit as a traveling diplomat, seeing Gotham, Metropolis, etc. Knowledge of public figures and groups will apply. For all accounts and purposes, Doom will draw back his visions of conquest in favor of intelligence and reconnaissance.

▍ ❝   MV.
Standard biography and rules apply, and Doom will seek out more knowledge and power with which to keep his country secure from all those who would do it harm. Character guidelines emboldened.
