===Complications=== '''Motivation:''' The world has been governed by at best the well-meaning but short sighted to at worst the outright compromised and corrupt. That's why Oracle become a "villain" in the first place, to overthrow the fools in charge so that intelligent and enlightened individuals such as himself could run things instead.<br> Now aliens have conquered the Earth and things are even worse. At least the previous order had to care about human civilization in some form. And most of Oracle's resources and followers were lost in the destruction wrought. But there is a silver lining. The V'sori invasion has topped every legitimate government on the planet. Once they are kicked off of Earth someone will have to fill that vacuum. Whoever is responsible for liberating the world from the invaders will have a golden opportunity to reshape it to their liking. Oracle intends have that opportunity..β<br> '''Oracle Knows Best''' Being both a genius and a prophet, Oracle can't help but think he knows the most out of everyone in the room. Most of the times it's not a big enough deal. But sometimes his faith in his own knowledge and intellectual superiority can cause problems for him, whether it's due to rubbing someone the wrong way or thinking he knows more than he does about a subject.<br> '''Baggage From A Past Life:''' Before his current career, Oracle was actually a superhero. A quite accomplished one too, with many villains thwarted and put behind bars and a large number of fans and admirers.<br> Some of those villains refuse to see their former nemesis turned colleague's actions as "just part of the job" and hold a grudge to this day. And many of those former fans and and admirers hold a deep sense of betrayal when Oracle turned against his fellow heroes and went villain. These attitudes persist even under current circumstances and could occasionally cause problems for Oracle.<br> '''Some Call Him Mad:''' Then there are those who whisper that the reason Oracle turned to villainy was because regularaly glimpsing apocalyptic and dystopian futures drove him crazy. This is of course untrue but those responsible for rumors and slander rarely care about veracity. Belief in this theory of madness is far from universal but there are enough people who have bought into it to cause some to have doubts in the credibility of some of Oracle's predictions. Some of the disbelief of his warning to heroes and governments about the V'sori's true intentions no doubt was the result of this misconception some had regarding his mental state.<br> '''Quirk (Fanboy):''' Oracle is an avid fan of science fiction, fantasy and geeky pop culture. He drops references to both well known and obscure works. He collects memorabilia from movies and shows. He even incorporates it into his super persona. He fancies himself a real life version of the Doctor, complete with a Sonic Gravitic Screwdriver and Companions (the latest his teammates when he joins them).<br> While usually charming and humanizing, this tendency can cause some difficulties. Some minor, such as annoying people when he drops a quote or reference they don't recognize as part of an explanation about something to potential trouble like stealing the Delorean from Back to The Future or insisting on rescuing an actor from V'sori custody because she played Nurse Chapel on Strange New Worlds <br> '''Enemy:''' The V'sori and everyone on their side.<br>
