If I get to be the character I created the name for, am a neigh-all-powerful wizard who can travel through time and alternate realities and dimensions. If, however, I’m the character I stole… er… borrowed the name from… I’m the right-hand man of the emperor of the galaxy, chief of his Secret Police, feared throughout all of Mongo, and doing quite well for myself… except for the fact that I’m so ugly I need to wear a gold mask all the time, and have an artificial arm. I also have an unrequited crush on the Emperor’s daughter, and am doomed to be killed by some blonde upstart once we try to destroy the Earth. If only His Majesty had not complained about being bored that day… ---
