This is the plot for a series that I am currently scripting, so any crits would be greatly appreciated. It is a very rough draft of the sorry so enjoy!
Ulric Jeager was the son of the famous industrialist Ivan Jeager, who founded the Imperium Corporation when Ulric was twelve years old. His corporation at first concentrated solely on the manufacturing of weaponry and armored vehicles, as it then e started to manufacture various chemicals and many other fields. For several years Ulric and his family lived happily in their Berlin home, as his father’s business flourished. However, upon his fifteenth birthday his mother had suddenly collapsed unconsciously on the floor of their dinning room and was quickly taken to a nearby hospital. After undergoing a series of tests, which took place over the course of a week, they found out that she had cancer and only had about five months to live. On his mother’s death bed, Ulric promised his mother that he would take care of his father after she was gone, as she then died later on that night.
About six months after his mother’s death, Ulric’s father meet a woman by the name of Melantha Kern at a bar near their home called the lion’s den. Smitten by her beauty, he shyly approached her and tried to start a conversation with her, as she eagerly welcomed his company. The two of them liked each others company so much that they talked from the late afternoon into the early morning. Before long the two of them started dating and things were going so well between them that Ivan asked her to marry him after only four months of courting her. Ulric openly protested their marriage, much to their chagrin, however in spite this they were married on September.1, 1982.
On the night of their honey moon, his father mysteriously got a heart attack and was taken to a nearby hospital where he died later on that night. This left his new wife Melantha Kern Jeager in full control of all of Ivan Jeager’s properties, various bank accounts, and 10% of stock in his company Imperium Corporation! However, unknown to Melantha, Ivan left Ulric 50 million dollars and controlling interest in Imperium Corporation! Because he was still a minor , his step mother tried to legally take control of his shares of the corporation and his money, until he took her to court and announced his own trustee to be his uncle James Jeager! Both he and his uncle were convinced that his step mother had either killed his father or paid someone else to do it for her, so his uncle asked his old friend Steven Knox who was an agent for Interpol to use his connections to find out the real reason behind the death of Ivan Jeager. Reluctantly Knox agreed to investigate Ivan’s death, but told them that they would have to cover all of his expenses and eagerly the two of them to do so.
After several months, Knox contacted James Jeager and asked him to wire two million dollars to a bank which was located in Manhattan, New York. Believing that his friend was using the money to gain the necessary information for his brother’s murder case, James sent Knox the money without question. Three days after wiring his friend the money, he got a call from Knox urgently asking him to come to New York. James quickly picked Ulric up from his private school and took him with him to New York to meet Knox. Upon arriving at Kennedy airport, they were met by a very anxious Knox who rushed them into a nearby cab took them to the hotel where he had been staying.
Once they arrived at his hotel, he took them quickly to his room, as he glanced around them nervously. He pushed them into his room, quickly locked the door behind him, as he then started to quickly pack up the rest of his clothes. Curious as to what he was doing, Knox told them that they were in danger and that he had got the information that they were looking for, but they had to move to another hotel before he could tell them anything about it. So quickly Knox changed out of the street clothes that he was wearing and into a blue three piece suit, as they all left that hotel and found rented a room in one of the Marriot hotels that was much closer to the airport.
After entering their room, Knox pulled several thick files out of his suitcase and laid them out along the bed. He explained that many years ago, Ivan Jeager borrowed five million dollars from a noted New York mobster named Leonard Sanderson to fund the building of the first Imperium corporation complex in Berlin, Germany which he named Genesis.
Even though after the first year of its creation, Ivan’s company created many innovative technologies that were in very high demand by the various governments and businesses throughout the world. The sales of his company’s products were so great that he was able to pay Sanderson back the full amount of the loan plus interest! Seeing the money that was to be made by the company, Sanderson tried to force Ivan Jeager to make him his partner, however Ivan refused. So Sanderson bided his time and upon hearing about the death of Ivan’s wife, he hired Melantha Kern to not only seduce Ivan but to get him to marry her as well!
He originally planned to have Kern convince Ivan to sell a significant portion of his stocks to an unknown investor, which would be Sanderson, he decided to have her kill him instead and have her sell the stocks of Imperium corporation shares to him. She used a special chemical called formula CA-3, which was ironically created at one of the Genesis labs, it is a special chemical that was used cobra venom as its base and causes the heart to completely stop beating within 48 hours. While Ivan Jeager was sleeping, she injected the Ca-3 formula into him and after the first three hours that the chemical was administered it becomes untraceable, which leaves her free of suspension. So after long last knowing the reason behind his father’s death, Ulric vowed vengeance on his step mother and Sanderson, as he, his uncle, and Knox then rushed to the airport to catch the next flight back home to Berlin.
Upon graduating from his private school in Berlin , Ulric gave his uncle temporary control of his company while he traveled to the United States and enrolled in M.I.T to study the fields of Ballistics technology as well as advanced physics. He graduated from M.I.T with honors and immediately signed up in the United States Marine Corps. It didn’t take long before he was promoted up to a sergeant and put through a special training program that trained him in the use of various firearms, vehicles, explosive devices, as well as training him in various survival techniques.
A couple of months after his service for the United States Marine Corps ended , Ulric met a beautiful woman named Lilith Grant and a year later they were married. On the night of his honeymoon, his wife made him promise that he would forget his vendetta against his step mother and Sanderson, because she feared that they could not live a normal life other wise. He promised her and together they moved back to his home in Berlin, as Ulric took over the day to day operations of the Imperium Corporation as his uncle decided to retire from the business and resume his interest in Greek archeology.
Upon taking over the company, Ulric doubled its profits within the first year to such an extent that he was able to expand his company to the United States (New Hyde Park, New York - Los Angeles, California - and Houston, Texas.), Korea (Seoul), and Australia (Sidney). Before the second year of his take over of the company, Lilith gave birth to Ulric’s twin son Ivan and Gregorio Jeager, who they named after Ulric’s father and great grandfather.
Furious that the Imperium Corporation’s business was better than ever, Sanderson no longer wanted to take over the company, now he wanted the deaths of Ulric and his entire family! So he hired a mercenary by the name of Alexander Garner, which he had used on a number of assassination attempts, to kill Ulric and his family. When his boys were ten months old, he and his wife Lilith took them to the family home in the country for the weekend. Ulric left his family in the house to travel to a nearby town to get groceries and returned to find a strange red jeep parked in front of the house. Carefully he picked the groceries up out of the trunk of his car and walked over to the house. As he opened the front door of their house, there was a large explosion that not only levelled the entire house and killed Ulric’s family, as well as leaving him mortally wounded.
He slowly crawled along the ground, until he reached his car where he used his mobile phone to call his uncle for help. His Uncle James called their corporate offices and had one of their private helicopters, with along with a team of emergency medical technicians who work for their company; fly to Ulric’s decimated country home. The other technicians carefully picked up the bodies of Ulric’s sons and wife onto the helicopter, while the other two technicians worked feverishly to stabilize Ulric, as they then loaded him onto the helicopter as well. They quickly flew them to the Genesis complex, where Ulric and his family were taken into their newly built medical facilities. Using a concentrated version of his company’s prototype regeneration formula that his researchers were working on , they were able to heal most of his serious wounds instantly , however before the formula could take effect on his sons or his wife they had already died.
Even with the regeneration formula almost completely healing his wounds, it still took him about a month to recover from the explosion and during that month he carefully planned his revenge against the man who he believed was behind this assassination attempt, Leonard Sanderson! So over the course of a year, he recruited former agents of the KGB, NSA, CIA, and Interpol to look for those persons responsible for the assassination attempt upon his family. Using their combined connections, they not only found out who was involved with the assassination attempt , but also found out everything that he needed to know about Sanderson’s friends and enemies.
Over the next two months Ulric carefully planned to not only take out Sanderson and his family but his friends as well all on the same night! So once again he sent his agents out to carry out his plan, however due to some unknown reason they succeeded in assassinating most of Sanderson’s family and friends, but Sanderson himself somehow survived!
Unaware that his plan to kill Sanderson had failed, Ulric joined his uncle James on an archaeological dig that was taking place somewhere near Athens, Greece. Somehow his uncle had stumbled upon a hidden cave, during one of his many trips to Greece that had a temple that was dedicated to the Greek goddess of justice Themis. Also unknown to Ulric an infuriated Sanderson sent a couple of his best hit men; Gregario Mussolini and Rosario Bosolino to kill him and his uncle. So Mussolini and Bosolino followed them into the cave and shot at them repeatedly with their guns until both Ulric and his uncle fell down to the ground and ceased to move. Not happy with only shooting them, Bosolino used some of the dynamite that he was carrying with him to cause an explosion that would cave in the entrance, thus entombing Ulric and his uncle within it! Once again facing death at the hands of his enemies, Ulric looked over at his uncle who was laying lifeless on the ground , as he slowly crawled along the floor of the cave towards an
Opal pedestal that sat at the center of the room.
An enraged Ulric prayed for vengeance against Sanderson for the death of his family upon the altar of Themis. Then suddenly the cave all around him started to shake, as a bright swirling light appeared above him and out of this light appeared a woman wearing white flowing robes. She granted his request by healing his wounds with the ointment of the gods and then gave the super powers that he would need to avenge the death of his family. The only condition that Themis had for giving him these powers was that Ulric would have to become her champion of justice on earth, he eagerly agreed to her terms. Feeling that her work here was done, she left him alone in the cave and went back to mount Olympus.
As soon as she left, Ulric then tried to move the rocks that were blocking the enterance of the cave, however even more rocks came falling down from the ceiling to bar his way. Becoming frustrated with clearing the entrance, he took a running towards the rocks and kicked them as hard as he could, to his surprise the rock that he kick burst into a million pieces before his very eyes! Another thing that surprised him was that he didn’t feel any pain from kicking the rock at all! Just then he realised what one of the powers that Themis had granted him was super strength, so rapidly he punched and kicked his way through the collapsed cave entrance, until he was standing outside the cave once again.
He secretly had his uncle buried at the bottom of hill behind his house along the side of his father, wife, and his twin sons. On their graves he vowed that not only would he kill Sanderson with his bare hands but he would take all that he holds dear away from him just like he did to him. So once again he called upon his agents to find out all they would about Sanderson, his family, and his enemies.
One by one he allied himself with Sanderson’s enemies: Fernando Valentino (crime boss of the Valentino mafia family) and Jesus Rodriqez (crime boss of the Rodriqez mafia family). Using his vast resources he helped Valentino and Rodriqez take over Sanderson’s territories and businesses , while recruiting a lot of Sanderson’s own people to come and work for them. Within six months of putting his plan into action, Ulric watched gleefully as most of Sanderson’s people deserted him and he slowly became penniless. After about two months after Sanderson was forced to sell all that he owned to pay for his debts, Ulric had his people bring him to a warehouse where he and his two partners were waiting to greet Sanderson. Once there Sanderson was shocked when he saw his men; Gregario Mussolini, Rosario Bosolino, Melantha Kern Jeager, and Alexander Garner, with their hands tied behind their back and kneeling down in front of his enemies Valentino, Rodriqez, and to his surprise the man who he believed to be dead Ulric Jeager! Ulric seeing the shocked look on the face of Leonard Sanderson explained that he was the one that helped Sanderson’s enemies take over his territory and businesses! Pulling a gun out of his jacket, he started to kill Sanderson’s men one by one until there was only Sanderson left to deal with. Ulric told his men to untie Sanderson and told him that if he wanted to get out of this alive he would have to fight him to the death. Thinking that he would get one over on Ulric, Sanderson agreed to his terms and rushed towards Ulric trying to land the first punch! He did land the first punch but Ulric just stood there and laughed , as he hit Sanderson with one punch that sent him flying through the air and landing about twenty feet away from him! Holding his ribs , Sanderson let out a painful groan , as he struggled to get back on his feet only to fall back down to the ground once again. Ulric’s allies watched in horror as a sadistic look appeared on Ulric’s face as he broke each of Sanderson’s limbs one by one, which left Sanderson screaming out in pain. Deciding that he had enough of the screaming, Ulric snapped his neck and let his lifeless body fall down to the floor in front of him. Fearing that Sanderson’s fate might become their own , Valentino and Rodriqez ordered their men to open fire on Ulric , but to their surprise the bullets only bounced off of him and landed on the floor all around him. Somehow Ulric was not surprised that they had turned on him and ordered his own people to fire upon them!
After the deaths of Valentino and Rodriqez, Ulric decided merge their criminal families and run it under the name of Ivan Griffith, as he decided to name this new criminal organization the Iron hand. He amazingly was able to run the Imperium Corporation and the Iron hand successfully over the course of a year before Themis appeared one day before him and took him to Mount Olympus where the other gods were sitting around him, as they were getting ready to pass judgement on him for his recent crimes against humanity. Themis pleaded with them to spare his life and as a result they stripped him of the powers that she had given him, however at the same time they found Themis guilt of giving an unworthy mortal powers and turned her into a mortal with most of her godly powers. Zeus sent Ulric back to earth, as he then told her that the only way she would become immortal again and regain the rest of her powers was to find a mortal that was truly worthy of the powers that she had given Ulric.
However unknown to them, thanks to the regeneration formula that he had taken about a year and a half ago, he somehow retained all of the powers that Themis had given him!

why throw stones?
Using a catapult you can launch much larger rocks!
Sounds like a pretty good story Con-o. The only thing I don't like is him being a rich dood with a bunch of resources in Berlin filled with rage and vengeance on his mind, just droping all that to join the Marines. Perhaps he could get some training and experience some other way. That or he meets his wife in America first, giving him a reason to stay and be with her while he's trained by experts or something.
Good point. Your right about that, I'll have to try to rework it a bit.
So that is what I missed!
Thanks for the crits, Destroyall!
I really do appreciate it.
