Lord Ponivore Frankensteele (Po)

This is Lord Ponivore Frankensteele aka "Po", one of the main protagonists for Pale Blue Dawn.
Po here is inspired by Peter Steele of Type O Negative and Carnivore fame as well as Frankenstein.
So he's basically...Frankensteele? Fuck yeah.

Po has a mechanized arm that can turn into a gatling gun and energy charge and shooting (think Mega Man's Mega Buster) and grappling hook, all kinds'a fun shit like that.
He also plays bass guitar and sings back-up and alongside Denver for their band. So yes, moar Peter Steele referencia/connection.
Also, Peter Steele was one of Dimebag Darrell's best friends, even wrote the song "Halloween in Heaven" due to Dime's death, and Diamond Eyes Darrell is of course inspired by Dimebag, so it just all comes together and fit perfectly to me.

Type O Negative and Peter Steele in general has always been one of my favorite bands and musicians, and given the huge stature and imposing presence he always had when he was alive, I felt it fitting to tribute him in Pale Blue Dawn since it has a Metal influence and already obvious inspiration to it as is.
So this just gave me an opportunity to pay homage to one of my biggest inspirations as a musician and artist overall.

As for how the idea to mix Peter Steele and Frankenstein came about? Blame the fact a joking nickname of his was "Lurch". lol

But yes, Po will actually have been a vampire...before his second life in which he was "rebuilt" and brought back to life.
The monikers he'll be touted as and branded with will be "The Green Devil" and "The Man With the Golden Gun Arm".
To make a long story short, he's not someone you wanna particularly fuck with.
Though, his large frame and towering height should help one draw that conclusion to begin with...I'd hope.
