Well this is my best attempt at a Fate app...the origin and sample are a work in progress but I like what I've got. | Identity | - Jared Stevens-Fate | Origin & Backstory | [CENTER][ Pre-Year One][/CENTER] In the late fifties a tomb was discovered in Egypt that pre-dated any known Pharaoh. This led to several years of research by Dr. Kent Nelson, the man that had discovered the tomb. By the mid sixties Nelson had breached nearly the entire tomb save for one chamber which, Nelson thought, contained the Pharaoh he had been searching for, Nabu the Wise. As Nelson and his team worked their way into the tomb reports began to rise of grave-robbery within the camp instigating an impromptu investigation. On the day that Nelson finally breached the tomb his financial partner reveled that he was behind the robberies and pushed Nelson aside in order to gain access to the vast riches that he expected to be within. A mistake that would cost the man his life. Once the noxious fumes had cleared and Nelson was the last man standing a golden helmet, cloak and amulet began speaking to Nelson saying that only he was worthy of the vast amount of knowledge that it contained. It was later discovered that the voice was indeed that of Nabu the Wise. [CENTER][Year -One][/CENTER] Twenty after Nabu chose to impart his vast knowledge of the occult to Nelson, he took the mantle of Doctor Fate and began working behind the scenes fighting occult threats to human society. That same year Jared Stevens was left on the doorsteps of St. Mary’s Orphanage in Metropolis. Stevens would spend the entirety of his childhood enamored with the idea of superheroes closely following the careers of the Justice League members. When he turned eighteen he left the orphanage in the hopes to pursue his dream of becoming like those he idolized. Jared quickly fell into the wrong crowd and became a mercenary for hire, leaving the country in time to miss Sta’rros assault. He would spend the next few years learning different martial arts and becoming proficient in throwing weapons. [CENTER][Year-Two][/CENTER] In the early 2000’s Jared was contacted by a mysterious benefactor promising him a vast fortune in exchange for what appeared to be a simple task. The benefactor ended up being and aged and decrepit Kent Nelson. Nelson charged Stevens with the retrieval of a golden helm, cloak and amulet in exchange for and exorbitant amount of money of his choice. Naturally Jared accepted and departed to find the items he was charged to find. The job itself only took six months to find and return back to Nelson. The trouble started when Jared handed the items back to Dr. Nelson. Without warning a demon calling himself Mordu, a mortal enemy of Doctor Fate, appeared through a teleportation spell placed on the helmet. The demon made quick work of Nelson and his wife Inza. In a desperate attempt to defeat this otherworldly foe, Jared took the amulet in hand and attempted to use it as a weapon. While the would be assault did drive Mordu away it also severely damaged his arm. Without thinking Stevens wrapped the cloak around his arm to stop the bleeding, he could never had imagined that doing so would have mystical side effects. Nabu spoke to the mercenary telling him that he was the next worthy soul to understand the knowledge that Nabu would impart. [CENTER][Year-Three][/CENTER] After melting the helmet down into the equivalent of a short sword and four ankh shaped throwing daggers Stevens adopted the moniker Fate, in remembrance of the fallen hero, Jared began his long journey home. The next few years would be unknown to Fate, but he planned to use this new power to the best of his ability. | Character Notes | -While this I taken from a mid 90’s version of the character (who by the way doesn’t wield the same powers as his Golden Age counterpart) the I will add some of the more basic powers of the original while still trying to keep with his unique style. | Powers & Abilities |: Skilled Magi- While he doesn’t rely solely upon his skills in magic Stevens has proven himself to be more than capable in wielding the powers of both Order and Chaos (Magic within the Order spectrum, coming from places such as heaven, contain things such as barriers and spells that generally aid the caster, while those within the Chaos spectrum, coming from Hell, contain spells intended for damage.) Telekinesis- Jared mainly uses this power manipulate his Ankh shaped throwing knives Illusion Casting- Due to his training with the Kent and Inza Nelson as well as his connection with Nabu’s helmet and amulet, Stevens is able to see through and cast illusions with ease. Superhuman Strength Superhuman Endurance | How is this character different? |- Aside from being a different incarnation of Fate and Nabu, I wanted to change the perspective of the way Doctor Fate is looked at and Stevens (I think) is the best way to do it. | What is your goal with this character? |-To challenge myself with a character that is outside my comfort zone as well as give a new outlook to a familiar character. | Sample Post |-WIP
