Lord Wraith

The Uncanny X-Men: The Next Evolution

Soooo what's the situation planwise? Nobody really answered me before, other than to let me know that Ryan's a dick, which I already knew. He's played by Hillan, of course he's a dick.

Anyway, the kids can't really make a plan more comprehensive than the one Colossus has already given them with the information at hand. Military's coming, foreign power, must be discreet to avoid a international incident and bring down more mutant hate, teamwork is probably a good thing. It's not enough to work on for me.

@BlackSam3091

I figured it'd be good for the mentors to encourage the team to propose a plan and the guide them and correct them where needed. Better to make someone think through their problems than to solve them for them.

Alexander Lionel 'Xander' Mayhew

Mayhew

| Δ G Σ: |

Approx. 500 years old

| Ƥ Θ Ш Σ Γ Ѕ: |

Mayhew is a master of the arcane arts. As such, Mayhew is able to manipulate the arcane forces through a few various conduits. Most commonly he carries a pair of twin oak wands which are grafted into silver hilts. Using these wands, Mayhew can cast a wide variety of spells ranging from manipulating the world around him to the various elements and even exhibit control over life ad death. Outside of casting spells, Mayhew is knowledgeable in potion brewing, rune carving and enchanting allowing him to make a wide variety of magical weapons and aids.

| Ш Σ Δ Ƙ ∏ Σ Ѕ Ѕ Σ Ѕ: |

The most obvious weakness of Mayhew's is that without a wand or other enchanted conduit, Mayhew is unable to manipulate the arcane forces. Further more, Mayhew has to limit the amount of time he opens himself up to supernatural forces as he risks possession by spirits far more powerful than he is. Beyond this, Mayhew has no superhuman abilities and is still vulnerable to bodily harm if he doesn't magically protect himself.

Born in the early 1500's, Mayhew grew up in poverty always seeking a better life. He found that better life after stumbling upon an ancient Warlock. The Warlock took Mayhew on as his apprentice seeing potential in the boy, unfortunately this was his undoing as Mayhew ultimately killed the Warlock in his sleep in order to siphon the elder man's power for himself. Over the years, Mayhew has constantly grown in power whether through deals, murder or simply the possession of arcane items. Having reached a pinnacle point in his life, Mayhew now has more wealth than he could possibly ever spend but yet is in more debt than he could ever pay off. Owing his soul to forces from beyond, Mayhew constantly barters for one more day by offering other souls in his stead. Somedays a single soul is enough to satisfy the hunger from beyond but at other times, the hunger has sought for hundreds of souls. As such, Mayhew has tethered his store to a Hellmouth in order to feed the hunger the victims of his crimes and amusement. Now residing in a vast metropolis, Mayhew keeps his debt and boredom at bay through causing chaos on its numerous streets.

I will be creating my own storylines.

| ∏ Θ Ƭ Σ Ѕ: |

■ Arch-enemy is a rival sorcerer named Spindleshanks. Unlike Mayhew, Spindleshanks focuses heavily in the art of Necromancy, often raising the dead as puppets and enslaving the weak of mind to carry out his bidding and will.
■ Having lived for so long, Xander has no interest in relationships, merely seeking gratification when he desires it. He also has no distinct preference in partner.
■ Xander enjoys chaos and often sell cursed items to customers just to revel in the madness they cause.
■ Mayhew's shop is built upon a Hellmouth giving him a limitless connection to arcane sources. He's able to summon demons and other otherworldly creatures to act as minions and underlings when needed. Mayhew's shop also doubles as a seal however, preventing the creatures from freely roaming the city and should the shop be compromised it could cause an invasion from the otherside.
■ Mayhew's shop, The Grimoire is protected by numerous spells including ones that have animated the decorative gargoyles. These gargoyles act as Mayhew's guardians and are also used to perform errands for Mayhew when need be.

And added a bio.

Some folks literally only gave me a paragraph, so it can be pretty brief. Love the fact your guy's gargoyles come to life to do his bidding. I kinda wanna get in a scrap with one of those things. I also kinda see your guy being similar to Mr. Gold in Once Upon a Time.

@The Kid Lantern

He's very heavily inspired by Rumple.

UNIVERSAL iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

Here's the list of accepted characters:

Feral Man - Dark Wolf - Accepted [mostly cause it's mine LOL]
Size Manipulator - Doctor Neutrino - Accepted
Archer - Ullyses - Accepted
Super Soldier - Capt. Genome - Accepted
Big Guy - Overlord - Accepted [was hoping he'd be more of a brute but I can dig a big knight]
Vigilante - the Judge - Accepted
Wildcard 1 [Magic user] - Mayhew - Accepted [Bio pending]
Wildcard 2 - Brand - Accepted
Wildcard 3 [bug powers] - Goldjak - Accepted

Still a couple archetypes we could use... a Techno character, a Demi-God, etc. Based on the characters the tone of this will seemingly be in the middle between Batman v Superman and the Watchmen.... just with more powers. I'll leave recruiting open to a few more slots if the CS is of top quality.

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

How 'Brief' can my bio be? Taking a villain role, I'd rather not spill everything on my CS.

Also don't we have a WIP Tech sheet and I believe FantasyChic said she was going to work on a Demi.

Oddie's an open-minded guy. So open-minded that he helped coin that euphemism.

@BlackSam3091

Probably had to experiment after all those years on that island.

Somethingsomething your gods slept with animals, something something.

@Hillan

I was thinking more along these lines.

But I mean, animals works.

UNIVERSAL iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

I know that, I'm being wantonly insensitive.

@BlackSam3091

Well time to break out the Greek jokes!

UNIVERSAL iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

BURN THE WITCH!

@BlackSam3091

We prefer the term Warlock.

UNIVERSAL iCheck [OC superhero Build-A-Universe]

My vote for the first mission is still for the team to burn Wraith's characters shop to the ground.

@BlackSam3091

And I repeat,

DO YOU WANT DEMONS?

THIS IS HOW YOU GET DEMONS!
