"As the ancient mystics have told us, Live, Laugh, Love. Or maybe that was something I saw at Target. Eh, does it matter?"

◼ Cloak of Levitation, Strange's signature cloak that allows for flight and is durable enough to be used as a shield
◼ The Eye of Aggamotto, a magical amulet that enables telepathy, astral projection, and reveals knowledge. Strange's soul currently inhabits it, and he can currently communicate with Clea and perceive the world when she uses it, but his ability to cast spells is limited as he is not used to this form.
◼ The Sanctum Sanctorum contains other magical artifacts that, while they are not commonly carried outside of the house, may prove useful, such as the Book of the Vishanti and the Orb of Aggamotto

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R...Both Clea and Strange come from backgrounds that initially precluded them from becoming great sorcerors. Strange was a prideful and exceedingly capable neurosurgeon, a man of science, who only turned to the mystic arts when a hand injury shattered his career and the life he had built. Clea was born to the mistress of the Dark Dimension, Umar, and her disciple, Prince Orini. She was kept away from the outside world, intentionally discouraged from ambitious pursuits that could lead to her challenging her mother or her uncle’s power. Her mother raised her from a long distance, seldom appearing but always judging and adjusting, letting it be known what she wanted. Umar saw Clea not as a child but as a project; perhaps a bad choice, but one that she might eventually come to love. When she met Strange on one of his trips to the Dark Dimension it was the first time her eyes were opened to another path in life. She followed him out of the Dark Dimension and they built a life together, each pursuing their own mystical knowledge, teaching one another, and fighting against threats. It hasn’t always been the easiest relationship, they are often competitive when it comes to knowledge, at odds with one another due to cultural differences, and not always faithful, but in the end Strange and Clea have realized that they are meant to be together.
The last series of events came when Clea saw her mother do something she thought that she never would: ask for help. Shuma-Gorath, the devourer of dimensions was at the door, and threatened to devour the entire Dark Dimension; if successful his tendrils would begin to reach the earth also. Dormammu was too proud to beg, but even he knew what had to be done. Strange, Clea, and the Faltinian siblings rallied their allies and the entire Dark Dimension against the invaders. The combined front held, and Shuma-Gorath was banished from the land. In the end, it seemed like there might be a chance at lasting peace, to perform the final sealing spell, Strange, Clea, Umar and Dormammu had to form a magical pact that would intertwine the essence of their beings. Trying to fight after that would be a bad idea, but Dormammu launched a surprise attack against Strange and magical backlash began to erase the fabric of their beings. His physical form was shredded in an instant, but with some quick thinking Clea was able to grab the soul of Strange and contain it within the Eye of Agamotto; Dormamu was not so lucky and seems to be fully gone. With Clea and Umar remaining and not wanting to test things further, it was decided that the Dark Dimension would experiment with a new concept: representative government. Umar has accepted her new role a politician and plutocrat rather than godqueen, though if she’s ever elected and given enough power she promises to bring back the old times of absolute rule. It remains to be seen how popular that platform will be. Clea is now living in New York, having assumed the title of Sorcerer Supreme and living in the Sanctum Sanctorum. She spends he days attending to the business that Strange used to take care of, and looking for a way to restore his physical form.________________________________________________________________________________________P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )I’ve always liked the magical side of comics, and Clea is someone I’ve been wanting to write for a while. Her personality has been more variable over the years of her comic appearances, for my portrayal want to build a personality that combines naiveity to the ways of the world along with a desire to do good, but an upbringing that has been shaped by the ruthlessness and egoism of her mother’s values. She is someone who might start off of the wrong foot, initially acting unserious or unconcerned, but she ultimately comes to her senses and realizes what has be done when the situation calls for it. I want to explore some of Strange’s anxieties when he is in the supporting role, he’s still wise, still egotistical, and still able to help, but his lack of physical form is something that he will have to adjust to. I stuck fairly close to the comic history but made some slight changes to Clea’s upbringing just in case anyone is lore-nerding here.
I want the tone of this to be on the lighter side, I want to tell a fun fish out of water story, ask questions about what it means to belong in an unfamiliar world, and get creative with the ways magic interacts with everyday life. Clea herself has a lot to learn about people, being over a thousand years old but never getting to live a normal life. There will be plenty of time for cool fights, big threats, and the like, but I think those will be reserved for times when she helps out in a crossover or the occasional highlights, not constant features.
Plot ideas:
The Dark Dimension has come to bargain…a trade deal. These things can’t be all that complicated, can they, so Clea should just be able to handle it and patch things up with her mom, right? Once again, nothing is as simple as it seems.
In the quest to restore his body, Clea comes across some secrets that Stephen has been keeping from her, secrets that will need to be confronted to succeed, but they are the sort of thing that could make her question if she actually even wants to restore him.All formatting originates via the work of Lord Wraith
Clea is approved! Go ahead and transfer her over and you can start posting.
but is there a timeline or a catch up anywhere/anyone can provide? I'd be really grateful!
