MAJOR DEEJ UNIVERSE

Nabendu Nair is a Bollywood movie star in India, primarily known for his role as "Chandra; Protector of India", a heroic male empowered by the moon to help the people of India, that he played on Indian TV shows and in movies.  A highly popular, handsome young man, Nabendu, although a practitioner of Hinduism, is also quite the lady's man, usually seen with a new woman (or two) each week in the tabloids.

​

In 2010, Nabendu was filming for "Chandra III: The Protector Rises", where, during a night-time scene, he was to save a mortally wounded woman from a villainous creature called the "Mogo".  With a full moon lighting the set, doing his own stunts, Nabendu fought through mobs of movie extras that made up Mogo's followers until he arrives at the beautiful damsel in distress.  As the scene was cut, the damsel/actress turned into a REAL demon and tried killing Nabendu. As the demon lunged at Nabendu,  it loudly screeched that he (Nabendu) had killed its sister centuries ago and that it (Mogo) was finally going to get its revenge on "Chandra".  Nabendu, unsure of what was happening, thought it was simply a prank being played by the stage hands or the director, and instead, playfully, threatened the demon with his 'powerful moon scepter' (which was nothing but a large flashlight-tipped aluminum pipe prop he used in the movie).  The demon attempted to claw at him with its long, sharp claws, ripping the set's staging and props.  Nabendu then took the 'scepter' and did a stunt, looking like he'd hit the demon on the head with the scepter, however, the demon instead followed through and, using its claws again, sliced Nabendu across the back. At this point, Nabendu felt the pain of the attack and saw his own blood. When he looked up to see the reactions of the film crew, Nabendu knew then and there that was something more was going on than some prank...

 

It was real a REAL demon.

​

As the creature lunged at him again, this time, Nabendu immediately reacted, knowing he was a dead man otherwise. Nabendu rolled on the side, smacking the leaping demon with the flashlight end of the his 'scepter' prop.  The flashlight began to flicker as a result of the damage, however, Nabendu, using humor as his weapon, led the demon to believe it was a 'light that melts all evil', making the demon dodge from wherever the flashlight was shining.  When he was able to get close enough, Nabendu tripped the demon after blinding it with flashlight's brightness.  The demon blinded and scared,clumsily stepped back and fell down onto the film crew's equipment, to which a boom mike extension impaled the falling demon right through the chest.

 

The demon died moments later.

 

The creatures body shriveled up into a dry husk not even resembling a humanoid form.

​

After the police showed up and took everyone's statements, Nabendu went back to his movie-star trailer.  When he turned the lights on in there, a woman with four arms stood before him.  Bewildered, he asked who she was and what she wanted.  She said she was a messenger of Vishnu, and that, for defeating the demon, as well as performing as such an inspirational role model to the people of India, that she was there to award him with a gift from the gods - the Staff of Chandra.  She presented him an ornate, long glowing staff and told him to use it for its true purpose - to protect the people from the evils of this world. She did, however warn Nabendu that if he did not use it for good, an epoch fate would befall Earth; a fate that would lead to the release of dozens of 'dark Hindu and Buddhist gods' who would destroy people and places in their search for the location of the 'Vault of the Astras'; a vault ladened with powerful, unearthly weapons created (and eventually hidden) by Vishnu himself/herself.  The four-armed woman then disappeared right in front of Nabendu in a blinding light.

 

Weak from the loss of blood, coupled with the shock of all that had just happened to him, Nabendu passed out and fell onto the floor of his movie-star trailer.

​

Not long after, Nabendu awoke to the sounds of screams and destruction outside his trailer door and windows.  People were running by his trailer screaming. When Nabendu go up to look outside, he saw several demonic-looking creatures lifting and throwing cars at the escaping masses of people. As Nobendu reeled around, he remembered the deep claw marks on his back and the pain he should be feeling...which, at that time, he wasn't feeling any pain or distress. He rotated around quickly to his floor-to-ceiling mirror in his trailer and saw the deep cuts that the demon had done to him were gone; he was fully healed. Shaking his head trying to take THAT information in as well, Nabendu instead started out the trailer's door, stopping only long enough to grab this new 'Staff of Chandra' that he almost tripped over on the way out. He figured maybe there's something the staff could be used for, like a fighting stick or something.

​

As Nabendu exited the trailer, three large demons came barreling at him. Scared, Nabendu, still in his Chandra costume, pointed the new 'Staff of Chandra' out in front of himself, trying to use it like a lance to maybe stab one of the demons with, however, instead, a powerful energy blast emanated from the staff, plowing all three of the creatures into the pavement. In utter shock and surprise, Nabendu dropped the staff, but then quickly picked it up again. Nabendu then advanced on the creatures, pointing the staff at them.  When one creature threw a car at him, Nabendu, an agile stuntman unto himself, tried to dodge, but instead went airborne without wearing a single special effects cable or harness on his body.

 

Nabendu was actually flying, thanks to the staff. 

 

The creature-thrown car missed Nabendu, however the creatures started crouching down to leap up to Nabendu's new aerial location. Using the staff again, Nabendu blasted the creatures with repetitive blasts, dropping each one to the point of unconsciousness.  These creatures, not dead, did not shrivel up, like the the previous demon woman, but instead, still remained creatures.  Nabendu quickly grabbed lengths of camera power cables and wrapped the creatures up, completely immobilizing them.  Dozens of minutes later after the battle, the creatures were carted off to the zoo, where scientists, paleontologists and zoologists gathered to determine what the creatures were and where they came from, that is until GUARD showed up and secreted them away in the dead of night. Nonetheless to say, those that saw Nabendu do what he did were utterly amazed at what he'd done. Unknown to Nabendu at the time, two other cameramen had been filming everything that transpired during Nabendu's the fight with the creatures, especially with him flying and blasting the creatures with his new staff. Later that night, the footage was released to all of India's TV news stations and onto the social video scene on Ya!Go!.  Within 48 hours, Nabendu was a worldwide celebrity. 

​

As the images of Nabendu's battle with the creatures on the movie set streamed around the world, most in India believed that what happened was actually nothing more than a publicity stunt...that is, until downtown Karachi was invaded by hundreds of similar creatures days later.

​

On the day of the next demon attack in Karachi, Nabendu put on his spare Chandra movie costume, grabbed his new staff and jumped into one of the movie company's SUVs and drove at breakneck speed to the battle zone where the demons were reported to be. The police's weapons were not affecting the creatures, however, the blasts from the Staff of Chandra, seemingly magical in nature, did actually affect the creatures. Nabendu dove into the battle just as he did in his role as the TV and movie actor.  He felt as if he'd been training for this moment his whole life, and now, with the Staff of Chandra, he was going to become a true 'Protector of India'.

​

After thirty minutes of battling, resulting in two broken ribs, numerous cuts, dozens of bruises and a collapsed lung, Nabendu defeated the last creature in Karachi.  The crowd's cheers roared across the city, chanting his heroic name "Chandra! Chandra! Chandra!".  From that day forth, Nabendu was known not only as a famous TV and film actor from Bollywood, but a true super-powered hero...and the 'Protector of India'.

​

News got out of Nabendu/Chandra's battle and his super-heroic deeds. As a result, he garnered the attention of Britannia, the leader of the newly formed "Commonwealth" super-group.  Within days, Chandra was recruited into The Commonwealth and began his new life as a true hero on a superhero team.  To this day, Nabendu continues to make movies about Chandra and still gives away autographs, dates beautiful young women, and parties until the morning light, all when he's not fighting demons, creatures or stopping 'bad guys'.
