Powers and Abilities

Prior to his resurrection Charlie Arrows possessed limited precognitive abilities, which helped

him to survive numerous dangerous situations. When Mister Pharmacist revived him, he

removed the cancer from Charlies brain, allowing his full powers to manifest. He has vast

powers, being able to transmute objects from one form to another, such as changing a Kherubim

warship into a swarm of roses, turning an enemy into toilet rolls, sending a target to another

dimension, or creating a new body for Christopher Truelove and forcing his disembodied spirit

into it.

History

Serving in the British military during the 1960s, posted in the South Pacific, where, afterassaulting an officer, he was set to digging ditches for experiments by the British Rocket

Group. The experiment, on a Kherubim warship, failed and killed a lot of the soldiers, with the

survivors getting cancers, which soon killed all but two of them. Charlie and Paul Frost. The

energies he was exposed to formed a quantum singularity in Charlies brain, giving him his

powers, but his body, trying to reject the singularity, formed a cancer around it, limiting his

powers.

Following his time in the army he became right hand man for the criminal boss Ted Lewis, who

controlled crime in the north of England, using his powers to give him an edge, and developed adangerous reputation. When his lover Rose, became pregnant, he left her, never even seeing his

daughter. In the 80s he teamed up with Jon Drake and the sorcerer Jack Carter to break up a

Daemonite cell led by Kenyan.

Eventually his cancer was diagnosed, and he travelled to Hobbs Bay to see Rose. She refused

to talk to him, but he did find out that he had a granddaughter. While there he ran into Paul

Frost, not knowing that he had also survived the British Rocket Group experiment, whom he

knew from school. While they were talking, a ship containing Daemonites and mercenaries

came aground, and Paul Frost, who had been waiting for them, knocked Charlie out, leaving him

for dead. When he recovered consciousness, Charlie made his way to Rose, and managed to

find her alive. As they tried to escape, she was killed by a Daemonite, which the Golden

managed to kill before it got Charlie, but he died from the cancer moments later.


4/5

He was revived through the efforts of Mister Pharmacist and Christopher Truelove, so that the

Establishment could question him. The revival removed his cancer, allowing him access to his

full powers. The Establishment went after Frost and the Daemonites, as they flew the

Kherubim warship they had stolen, the same one that the British Rocket Group had experimented

on, towards London, leaving Arrows in the care of George Bulman.

Arrows, wanting revenge on Frost, knocked Bulman out, but before he could travel through one

of the Establishments Windows, Christopher Trueloves ghost emerged from Bulman to confront

him. Charlie used his new powers to recreate Trueloves body, and then knocked him out too.He then travelled to the warship and confronted Frost, learning that he was now a sentient cancer

colony, who intended to explode the warship over London, spreading his sentient cancers over

Europe. Arrows sent him to dead space, and then changed the warship into a swarm of roses,

which rained on London.

He then set out to search for his granddaughter, Lucy. She found him, revealing that she had

inherited superpowers from him, and that she now worked for Dr. Orwell, and Charlie cautiously

agreed to also work for Orwell. He eventually learned that Orwell was a stranded time

traveller, who planned to travel to the end of time to replace Spartan, who was destined to be the

one being to survive the end of this universe, and thereby become God in the next universe.

Orwell and his mercenaries hijacked an alien gods corpse from the Bleed, which he could use to

travel through time. He revealed that he had recruited Charlie because his powers would allow

Orwell to reprogram Spartan.

Orwell had placed post-hypnotic suggestions in Charlies mind, allowing him complete control

over Arrows, who had to obey Orwells spoken commands. Charlie and Lucy decided to turn

against Orwell, and they blocked up Charlies ears, allowing him to attack Orwell. As they

battled, a swarm of Venusians that Orwell had acquired for his plan, escaped and began to

overrun the ship, supplanting Orwells role in his own master plan. The Arrows helped the

Establishment battle the overwhelming Venusians, as the universe ended, and when it appeared

that the Venusians had won, Charlie used his powers to connect to Spartan/Metavac, assuring the

new universes safe existence. Presumably both Charlie and Lucy died in the end of the

universe.

Personality


5/5

Charlie is an aged thug, who has survived a long time in a harsh lifestyle. He is fairly canny

and cautious, and rarely gives away his feelings. He maintains a hard, cold exterior, and

frequently tries to intimidate his way out of situations if possible, especially if he can use his

reputation.

While his primary interest has always been looking out for himself, and he has been willing to

use violence, and lethal force, hes beginning to get more selfless, and will save others if it wont

cost him. After discovering he was dying, he decided to make up for the mistakes he made in

his life, and the only thing he really cares about now is protecting his granddaughter, Lucy.
