We are puppets dancing on the strings of those who came before us, and one day our own children will take up our strings and dance in our steads.” [/color][/b] [b][color=003399]Notable Equipment & Weaponry:[/color][/b] Strange's own power is often amplified by the numerous magical artifacts that are in his possession or by artifacts that he uses in the course of his adventures. The two artifacts he carries with him at all times are the Eye of Balerion and the Cloak of Levitation. [*]The Eye of Balerion is a powerful and valued artifact that has many functions. Using the Eye, Strange can see through any lie, deception or illusion, and free others from their own illusions. It is often used to amplify his mind's eye, giving psychic abilities that rival the most powerful of telepaths. It is also often used to play back an area's past events and open dimensional portals. Evil can hardly withstand its light and it is often used as a weapon of last resort. [*]The Cloak of Levitation allows him to fly without using any magic. It responds to his thoughts as if it were part of him. Lord Strange has used it many times as a "third set of hands" to attack a foe when his own body has been incapacitated. The cloak is nearly indestructible. It often escapes damage during even the most violent confrontations. Other artifacts include the Amulet of Balerion, which functions much like the Eye, the Orb of Balerion, which he uses daily to monitor the surrounding dimensions for trouble, the Wand of Watoomb, which amplifies his power, and the Book of Vishanti, which contains some of the worlds most powerful and secret spells and counter spells. There are countless other artifacts that he owns that can be brought out in times of need. [h3][color=003399]~Skills~[/color][/h3] [list] [*] [b]Martial Artist[/b]: Vincent has had, extensive advanced martial arts training of various Yi Ti disciplines. Agile and fit, he is quite adept in his practice of melee combat [*] [b]Medical Knowledge[/b]: His years in the Citadel and his focus on forging links on medical practices granted him much knowledge on the subject of human health and healing. [*] [b]Knowledge of Mystic Lore[/b]: He also possesses a great amount of knowledge in regards to the history and workings of various dimensions, planes, and mystic concepts and persons of interest. [*] [b]Expert Strategist[/b]: Though Vincent seems to suffers from an impulsive nature, instinctively jumping into situations of life-or-death, it's apparent that he works best this way possessing considerable strategic skills, which has been employed in leadership structures, and spontaneous situations, all of which is a necessity for his role as the lead advisor of House Grey. [/list] [h3][color=003399][b]A List of Powers/Spells attributes of your character:[/b][/color][/h3] [list] Vincent Strange is the Archmage of Earth; he has unparalleled mastery of the mystic arts, which he uses to defend his reality from otherworldly threats; his primary magical patrons are a group of entities known as "the Vishanti." The Vishanti are a trinity of godly beings comprised of the Lion of Night, Maiden-Made-Of-Light, and their son, the God-On-Earth. Although he has, on rare occasions, called upon the power of the demon Dormammu the Bloodstone Emperor, he no longer does so. His powers are all magical and take several forms. Several main manifestations include: [*][b]Personal abilities[/b]: As a result of his mystic training, Vincent is capable of a great many abilities such as astral projection, telepathy, hypnotism etc. These are put in a separate category because he seems to perform these functions as a telepath would, not needing to manipulate magic to do it. These abilities can be amplified by mystic energy and/or the Eye of Balerion (done countless times) to afford Vincent incredibly powerful psychic abilities. [*][b]Universal sources[/b]: By manipulating the ambient mystical energy of the universe, Lord Strange can perform a great many functions. Commonly this is seen as mystic bolts, transmutation, telekinesis, standard shields, etc. He can also use this mystical energy to cast spells of a near infinite variety. These spells seem to be quicker to perform but lesser in power than spells using divine energy. [*] [b]Divine sources[/b]: Lord Strange can channel energy from countless mystical beings in countless dimensions to empower his spells. This can take the form of standard spells ("Crimson Bands of R'hllor") or just stating what he wants to occur and channeling some being to make it happen. It is unknown at this time what debt, if any, he incurs by invoking the powers that be. There is no quid pro quo, though some entities will feel he is obliged to heed their call when they need help in their conflicts as did the Vishanti. [*] By sheer force of will "take" the power of another entity. This does not require the use of a spell. The fact that Vincent can do this is a testament to his incredible will-power and strength of mind. This is considered black magic and as such he rarely employs this. Also when taking the powers of celestial entities he absorbs the mind and assumes their duties and roles in the dimension in which they exist. If his will falters, he can lose all sense of self.
