Super NPCs; Lord Blade & Lady Baton

NAME: Lord Blade & Lady Baton
ALIAS Richard & Elizabeth Becker
AGE: 40s-ish
GENDER: Male, Female
POWERSET: While both of them use the weapons in their names, said weapons are extremely versatile; the Lady tends to use hers as the pole of her sun-umbrella, for example, while the Lord keeps his in a cane when not in use. They're both extremely skilled fighters, if somewhat flashy; that said, such not only part of their 'aesthetic', but also how they distract enemies while the other moves in to double-team. They're also something of gadgeteers, but tend to more acquire others' and figure out how to incorporate such in to their own gearset as opposed to invent their own. (With suitable royalty payment, of course.)
Also, they're rich. Old money.
BACKSTORY: From a long line of noblesTM of some irrelevant European country, the Lord and Lady met while young, immediately fell in love with each other, it was a beautiful and classic romance that may or may not have already been made in to a movie because at the wedding, of all things, a supervillain tried to kidnap them for ransom! GASP. Elizabeth managed a lucky hit with her umbrella - turns out said supervillain didn't have eye protection - and was able to hold them off until help arrived. Still, it inspired the both of them to never be caught off guard again, and what's more, what if other wedding days were ruined!??

So they became superheros.

MOTIVATION: Philanthropists. Stopping Supervillains from ruining others' days.

ANYTHING ELSE?: think a mix between gomez and morticia adams, the briarwoods from critrole, steampunk aesthetics, now add in SO MUCH DRAMATICS, and also a healthy dose of heroism. these two would literally destroy the world for each other, but they're instead saving it instead, mostly because if it was gone how would they enjoy a nice candlelight dinner with a romantic sunset in the background while someone plays violin?
