[hider=The World's Greatest Teenage Magician][u][b]Player Name:[/b][/u] [indent][@Tackytaff][/indent] [u][b]Primary Character:[/b][/u] [indent]Zachary Zatara[/indent] [u][b]Secret Identity:[/b][/u] [indent]Zachary Zatara[/indent] [u][b]Status:[/b][/u] [indent]Teen Titan[/indent] [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] [indent]17[/indent] [u][b]City:[/b][/u] [indent]Originally San Francisco, currently residing in Gotham with the newly formed Titans.[/indent] [u][b]Day Job:[/b][/u] [indent]World-class magician, using both real magic and slight of hand, Zachary has made a name for himself already.[/indent] [u][b]Powers:[/b][/u] [indent][i]Zatara Family Magic/Backward Speech Spells:[/i] Nearly identical to both his uncle and cousin, Zachary can use magic by commanding his will aloud, backwards.[/indent] [u][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/u] [indent][i]Power Limits:[/i] First, his power is completely dependent on his being able to speak. Second, while familiar with his own body, and the small creatures used in his shows, other people and large animals are too complex and therefore immune to his spells. This remains true regardless of the subject's willingness or the spell's intent. [i]Human:[/i] Zachary is a human with no more physical resilience, stamina, or constitution than an athletic teenager. [i]Back Line Fighter:[/i] He's rather weak as far as vigilantes go. Since being recruited to the Titans, he's undergone some hard training, but he's never had to do physical combat before, and it leagues behind his peers. [i]Arrogant:[/i] There isn't much Zachary loves more than the sound of his own voice, usually singing his own praises. It makes him unapproachable at the best of times, and flat out impossible to deal with at the worst. [i]Untrained:[/i] He's smart, but Zachary never used his brains to track down criminals or analyze data, he knows little of how the criminal world operates. [/indent] [u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] [indent][i]Illusionist:[/i] Zachary's magic is quite new in comparison to his relatives. Before coming into it, he was already well established in the magician trade, by using more traditional slight of hand ticks and false illusions. It's a skill he's practiced and maintained. [i]Escapist:[/i] Hand in hand with his magic tricks, Zachary has trained himself to get out of a number of tight spots. Granted, he's not always going to have the just the right key in his throat, but slipping free of knots and most buckled bonds is all part of his routine. [i]Homo-Magi:[/i] From both his family and his own practicing, Zachary has accumulated knowledge and understanding on magic and the occult. [i]Languages:[/i] Backwards speech isn't a common talent, but since learning it Zachary is quick to pick up on languages.[/indent] [u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [indent][hider=FC;Aaron Taylor-Johnson] [center][img]https://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8tzi9WgI31qmahxv.gif[/img][/center] [/hider][/indent] [u][b]BRIEF Bio:[/b][/u] [indent][hider=So brief you need boxers.] The life of Zachary, [i]The World's Greatest Teenage Magician[/i], Zatara began the day his cousin gave him Giovanni Zatara's box of tricks. All that happened before is little more than a dull memory meant to be forgotten. Whatever Zachary lacked in real magical talent in those early days, he made up for with showmanship and flair. In high-school he practiced his illusionary tricks, finding work within the city quite easily given the family name's reputation. Just before beginning his junior year, his success grew so that he could leave school entirely to travel the world, preforming as a side act to circuses and performers. In Europe, he met with Zatanna again and with her, discovered he could cast spells in the same manner. For a short time, Zachary's time was spent studying the occult with his uncle. But Zatara had his own work, and Zachary grew bored quickly; the temptation to show the world his new talent set him on the road again to Japan. Overnight, he went from being an opening act, to a stand-alone headliner. With a new assistant; Bunny. It was short lived. At the request of his Uncle, he moved to Gotham, with some permanence it seemed; finding Batman and Wonder Woman waiting with a line of other recruits for the new Titans. Zachary was quickly enlisted and, to his consternation, put on a home-schooling program to complete his missed two years of high-school and an intense physical training schedule. [/hider][/indent] [u][b]Story Arcs:[/b][/u] [indent][i]The Show Goes On:[/i] Since joining the Titans, Zachary has been having a hard time balancing his two careers, namely putting aside his work as a showman to focus on training. It becomes all the more difficult when some up-start fills what was meant to be his prized slot for a show in Las Vegas. Zachary [i]is[/i] the world's greatest and most popular teenage magician, and isn't about to let anyone forget it. [Solo] [i]Something In the Water:[/i] Bodies keep surfacing in the Gotham river. All died from drowning, with no signs of premortem injury or struggle. All families claim their respective victims were happy, or at least in stable mental condition. There has only been one witness; a homeless woman who claims to have seen one of the victims wade into the river at midnight, but her testimony was shaky at best, and quickly dismissed by the police. But something [i]is[/i] going on down there. [Team][/indent] [u][b]Supporting Characters:[/b][/u] [indent][i]Bunny:[/i] Zachary's on-and-off girlfriend and constant assistant. She isn't terribly bright, but very reliable and feeds into his ego something terrible. [i]Zatanna:[/i] Zachary's cousin and best friend. Her opinion is one of the two in the world he actually heeds, when he feels like it. **Involvment likely to be minimal, dependent if someone claims her and/or Constantine.** [i]Giovanni Zatara:[/i] The second and final respected voice in Zachary's life. It is solely his respect for his uncle that keeps him in Gotham for the time being. **Involvment likely to be minimal, dependent if someone claims him.**[/indent] [u][b]Secondary Character:[/b][/u] [indent]Miss Martian[/indent] [u][b]Additional Notes:[/b][/u] [indent]A Zatara, but no were near as well adjusted, devoted, or personable as his relatives. Is still fabulous, of course.[/indent][/hider]
