Stephen Randall Background
22-year-old new-blood. His parents want nothing to do with the world of magic and have moved to San Diego. They haven't cut ties with Stephen, they just don't want even peripheral contact with that world.
1) Character's role in magical society - Stephen is strongly considering a job in magical law enforcement as he hates those who misuse their gifts to abuse the less powerful.
2) Character's role in mundane society - Stephen is a very successful author of paranormal and horror books.
3) Character's combat abilities - Max's combat powers include an armor piercing, penetrating killing attack, mental entangles, a reduced penetration blast designed to disable the target, and a combined END/STUN drain spell.
He has also designed a deflection spell that activates whenever he dodges.
Being only average physically, Stephen has built a unified group of spells he always activates when going into combat. These include a resistant shield that includes a defense against mental attacks and a power defense. It also protects him against various gas and environmental attacks. Included are also various magical enhancements to his abilities.
4) Character's non-combat abilities - Stephen has several spells designed to gather information. Included in these are a light spell, a combined detect magic/detect mental magic spell, a see invisible spell, a spell to detect secret doors, and a retrocognitive clairsentience spell used to show him what happened at the scene of a crime and to determine what spell was last cast through a focus.
He also has learned to aparate short and long distances. He has a fixed location at his home, 2 fixed locations at entrances to eh Nexus, a fixed location at Tyana, and 1 floating fixed location.
5) Major Complications - Stephen hates those who misuse their gifts to abuse the less powerful. He does, however, have a strongly developed sense of civilized behavior, so he won't cast spells to kill unless his opponent does.
Stephen is a bit of a nerd and has had little social interaction with the opposite sex. As a result, he is a little awkward socially and frequently becomes infatuated with any attractive woman who shows him any interest at all.
