A Reason To Be Evil
Part 1: Worst 10th Birthday Ever
Plot:- There is always a reason or a driven motive of why a villain became who they are today. So, what made Rodissiuss become so driven mad with vengeance? He was not always the ruthless villain that he is now, so what changed all that? [My version of Rodissiuss' backstory]
Purpledolpin05: Well I finally decided to make Rodissiuss' arc an actual story. This is my interpretation of how Rodissiuss was like BEFORE he lost his powers. But I will probably make a side story about the life of Rina (Rodissiuss' wife) as well.
I do not own Elite Force, but I do own my OCs. Enjoy.
Song to listen to: Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez (roughly except that it's from a boy's POV)
Warning: mentions of adultery, alcohol drinking, minor smoking and child abuse
Rodissiuss Eric Andrews was the only child to Sadako Kato and Robert Andrews, a powerful and rich shapeshifters family.
For as long as what history of Superheroes and Supervillains go, the Andrews family had been one of the earliest superhumans of history, that is what makes every one of the society respect the family so much.
As a child, Rodissiuss had been told to always obey his parents, regardless of how absurd his parents' requests were.
Everyone thinks that Rodissiuss has the perfect life: good looks, strong powers, a charming father, a beautiful mother, and a perfect large mansion. Not to mention, he is the only child and sole heir to the family's legacy and wealth.
But looks can be very deceiving.
Despite how perfect the Andrews family looked on the outside, inside the household is a completely different story. His parents were only married because of the arrangements by their families, but none of them actually loved the other. All they ever did was fight all day but act like the perfect husband and wife in front of everyone else when outside of the house.
To make matters worse, Rodissiuss' father was a womanizer and had countless mistresses outside of home, he would claim to his son and wife that he had to out of town for some 'business trip', of course Sadako knew about her husband's affairs and would drown away her worries and anger by drinking alcohol and on occasions: smoking cannabis. Perhaps it is because Sadako comes from a winemaking family, that's probably why Rodissiuss has a fine taste in wine.
"Mom, dad, I'm home!" a 10-year-old Rodissiuss came back from school.
It was empty, like usual. Rodissiuss was not surprised, his father is probably taking another one of his mistresses for an outing trip and his mom is probably tucked into bed by one of the maids.
"Welcome back, Young Master." One brunette maid bowed at the boy.
"There you are, Master Andrews, your tutor is waiting for you to start your private karate classes." One butler called Mr. Walter called out.
"Yes, sir." Rodissiuss looked at his feet as he sighed.
It was an important day to him, and it seems like his parents are not even going to care about him.
As only son, Rodissiuss was put on a great amount of pressure. He has to keep excellent grades, good swordsmanship, basically anything that requires him to better than most of his peers. He didn't have any friends to begin with, most of his classmates just assumed he was an arrogant boy who thinks he is better than anyone else.
That evening, Rodissiuss peeked his head over to the living room after 3 hours of karate class. He saw his father reading the local newspaper and his mother was drinking tea.
"Father, mother." Rodissiuss gulped before he knoecked the door.
"Enter." His father replied before the boy entered the living room.
"Do you remember what day it is today?" Rodissiuss asked eagerly.
His parents shared a look before his mom spoke up.
"Ah yes, today is the day the teachers hand in your exam results. Give us a look at your report card." His mom stated as Rodissiuss secretly hid a groan. The boy walked to his mom as he handed over his report card.
"English Literature- A, Mathematics-A+, Social Studies-A, Chemistry- A-, Biology-A-, Home Economics-A, Geography-A," Sadako read out the results of the report card, almost looking proud until her face scrunched up. Rodissiuss gulped, this can't be good.
"YOU GOT A B IN HISTORY?!" Sadako shrieked loudly before breaking the glass cup on the table.
"I-I'm sorry, I misread one of the question!" Rodissiuss whimpered.
"It's just a B, Sadako!" his father piped in.
"Silence! There is only the first place in my books, not second!" Sadako glared at her husband. "Maurine, please close the doors and curtains."
"Y-Yes Madam!" the maid nervously yelped before closing the doors and curtains, before giving the child a sympathetic look.
Sadako walked over to a cabinet and took out a wooden cane, before turning back to face the trembling boy.
"Shirt off, now!" she hissed.
Rodissiuss obeyed before he was forced to kneel down, choking his tears and prepared for the punishment.
SMACK!
SMACK!
SMACK!
He could only feel the wooden cane whipped against his back, until he felt blood dripping from his back. He had been punished by his mom for as long as he could remember, he was not allowed to cry or the hitting gets worse.
His dad didn't even do anything, he just watched his wife abused their son, before he turned away and looked at the newspaper. Maurine the maid stood outside the door with the butler, Mr. Jameson. Maurine started to sob, feeling bad for the young boy. Mr. Jameson placed a hand over Maurine's shoulder to comfort his wife.
Until his mom was done punishing the boy, she told the maid and the butler to send the boy to bed without any meals.
This is probably her way of punishing her son.
"I am so sorry about that, young master." The red-haired maid sighed, before she grabbed some medicine to apply on the boy's back.
It stings, but it was not as painful as the pain the boy felt in his heart.
"It's ok, I have gotten used to it." Rodissiuss forced a weak smile.
"You're such a strong boy," Mr. Jameson smiled weakly at the boy.
"JAMESON, MAURINE, LEAVE MY SON BE!" Sadako yelled from downstairs.
"I have to go." Mr. Jameson stood up, dusting his waistcoat. "Goodnight, young Master"
"And happy birthday, it's a gift for you." Maurine handed a present over from her apron. "Don't tell your parents."
Rodissiuss nodded with a weak smile as the room doors shut.
He opened up the gift to find a small cake and candle.
Using his pyrokinesis, he lit up the candle before he sang the birthday song quietly to himself.
"Happy birthday to me, happy britdhay to me, h-happy birthday to myself…happy birthday to me."
Tears fell from his cheeks.
It's such a shame, it was his birthday and his parents do not even care. His mom had gone out with her rich lady friends, and he could hear his father on the phone with one of his mistresses. None of his family cares, except for the middle-aged butler and maid, Jameson and Maurine. The other butlers and maids do not care about the boy at all.
What should he wish for?
Aha, the boy thought of the perfect wish.
"I wish, when I grow up I will find the perfect wife and I could have lots of kids. That way, none of my kids will ever be lonely and they won't be as unhappy as I am."
The boy wished before he looked at the candle, as he blew off the candle.
The boy smiled to himself, as he started to draw a picture of his perfect ideal family.
"I might wanna have lots of kids, maybe 19 kids, that way I won't have to worry about my kids being alone every day when they come back from school!"
He drew out himself as an adult with a pretty wife, and their children all together in their perfect family portrait; unlike the one he had with his family.
Happy birthday, Rodissiuss.
Dang I think I broke my feels writing for little Rodie, in my headcannon, at least, Rodissiuss as a child look like a mixture of Riker and possibly AJ (my fanmade theory of AJ being family with Roman and Riker) I feel like Rodissiuss and his family are seriously underrated than the Elite Force themselves, but villains arc always intrigues me and Rodissiuss probably has a good reason why he became bad (the irony XD)
I will reveal more about his life later on, including his wife Rina and children to the day he became a villain after losing his powers. (I actually like Rodissiuss more than Kaz, because he is a superheroine-ditching filthy slob) [Yeah I am not a bit Anti-Kaz, he insulted Rodie! HOW COULD HE?! AND KAZ ALMOST KILLED LITTLE RICKY (My OC sibling for Roman and Riker, about aged 12-13 and he's a total sweetie based on Lee Daeul, Lee Sian (or Daebak) and Go Seung Jae from Return of Superman)! (See 'Family Sticks Together', my intake of the Attack with Roman and Riker's siblings)
Anyway, feel free to fave, follow, or review and tell me what you think of Rodissiuss's past.
