This post will contain my own characters.

I should mention that while normal player characters cannot start with more than city-destroying levels of power unless discussed extensively with me beforehand, my characters don't have that limitation. Yes, each of my two main GMPCs will be more powerful than any other individual player character. However, since my goal is to make a good story, I will make sure that my GMPCs will not ruin any conflict in the plot, or effortlessly solve other characters' problems. The personalities of my characters should make it clear why they aren't too willing to interfere with other people's issues. I will also make sure that my characters have interesting, consistent, and well-rounded personalities, and are not Mary Sues. Lastly, rest assured that my characters are not invincible; I will make sure they lose for one reason or another if I deem that it's required by the plot.

Also, since I know my own magic system better than anyone else, I will omit some of the limitations of my characters' abilities. The limitations are obviously still there; I just won't include them in the profiles. Otherwise the profiles might get way too long, like what happened to character profiles in my previous RPs.

My first character:

The Evanescent One [+]

Name: The Evanescent One; Evan.

Side: Magi.

Sex: Male.

Age: 1724 (see his biography for why he's this old).

Race: Hybrid; half human-turned cosmic elemental (spirit), half purple dragon (spawn).

Appearance:
Evan's true form is an orb of swirling colors, roughly the size of a human heart. It contains every color in the rainbow, but is somewhat predominantly purple and golden yellow. The orb is made of a glowing, translucent and insubstantial energy, but myriads of complex crystalline structures and arcane runes appear to shift in and out of existence within the orb's depths every second. Though the orb is small, gazing into it is likely to give one a sense of nigh-unfathomable gravitas and depth.
Evan typically covers his true orb form with a humanoid male body, with the orb located where the body's brain should be. The body is a moderate 175 cm in height, with a decent amount of muscle, but a wiry build that makes it look somewhat skinny nevertheless. Its skin tone is Caucasian and slightly paler than average, and appears almost paradoxical in being perfectly even and unblemished except for a number of thin scars littered across the body. It has messy, slightly curled, pale blond hair that falls a bit below its neck, and yellow, reptile-like eyes (normal human-like scleras, reptilian irises, i.e. yellow irises with slitted pupils). Its ears are somewhat pointed, like an elf's, and its canines are a bit sharper and more pronounced than those of a normal human. Its face can be described as quite handsome, but often makes people uncomfortable rather than attracts them due to frequently having a dour, serious expression and an excessively piercing, intense gaze.
Over the humanoid body, Evan mostly opts for exceedingly simple, plain clothes, usually an undecorated light gray hooded robe. Underneath the robe, he wears an equally simple tunic, trousers, and traveling shoes, undecorated and in shades of gray and brown.

Personality:
Evan is a complicated person, to say the least. On the outside, he appears to be a highly reclusive, withdrawn, introverted individual, shunning all social contact whenever possible and staying alone. If forced to interact with others, he tends to come across as detached, apathetic, even callous and amoral, not willing to right any wrongs he sees even though it should be perfectly within his power.
Beneath the surface, Evan is highly conflicted. He vehemently detests all forms of unnecessarily violence, killing, or anything that causes suffering. He also strongly believe that there is no absolute good or evil, that might makes right, that the strong has every right to use its power in whatever way it sees fit, until it's trumped by an even stronger being. It was because of these traits that Evan became the infamous sorcerer-king who conquered the world 1500 years ago and ruled it through absolute terror for three centuries, for he believed that it was necessary to minimize warfare and death on a global scale. Since his previous attempt at making the world a better place came crashing down in the most catastrophic way possible, Evan now believes that he no longer has any right to try to improve the wellbeing of the world or even any individual, that he'll just make things worse again if he tries; he's terrified of his own power and the harm it can do if he lets it run free again. This is the main reason for his apparent introversion and detachment, in addition to simple social ineptitude.
Even deeper down, at his core, Evan is a scientist and a researcher. He is incredibly intelligent, and possesses an insatiable curiosity and an endless thirst for knowledge, seeking to unravel the mysteries of magic and the universe for their own sake. It was this curiosity that drove Evan to perform the experiments that made him as powerful as he was. Back in the first age of magic, he felt that he was obligated to try to improve the world, because no one else had enough power to do so. Now that he no longer feels bound by such an obligation, Evan is content in returning to the pursuit of scientific knowledge. He feels no hostility toward the Tech side, and is in fact fascinated by their technologies that he hasn't seen before. Lastly, having lived his entire life in emotional solitude, Evan does feel lonely, and wishes for the existence of at least one partner who can understand his thoughts, interests, and plights.
As far as instinctual sexual attraction goes, Evan is heterosexual. But because of his life of emotional solitude, concepts like love, affection, and romance are rather alien to him, likely to elicit only confusion and doubt.

Faction: N/A.

Biography: Evan is the sorcerer-king who merged with the Dweomerheart and conquered Earth during the first age of magic. He did not really die as people believed, and returned to the world at the end of the modern age along with magic itself. He currently paints himself as a nameless wanderer and recluse, one of the many people of little importance on planet Earth. His full biography may get a bit long, so I'm putting it in a hider.

Detailed biography [+]

Evan was born in the year 503 A.D., roughly five centuries after the Dweomerheart was first built. His father, Antonius, was a brilliant, incredibly powerful mage, but also an utterly amoral psychopath and sadist who loved nothing more than dominating those weaker than him with his power. Evan's mother, Lythill, was a purple dragon with crystalline scales, one of the rarest and most beautiful subrace of dragonkind. When Lythill had the misfortune of losing to Antonius in battle, her personality was completely wiped clean by his powerful magic, replaced by a constructed slave personality who mindlessly obeyed Antonius's every command. Antonius taught the enslaved Lythill some Shapeshifting magic, and forced her to take on a human form; he then proceeded to use her as both a sexual plaything and a guinea pig in his mad magical experiments. When Lythill became pregnant some time later, Antonius was interested in the physiology of a half-human, half-dragon hybrid, and had her keep the child. His twisted curiosity also wanted to see what would happen if a mother shapeshifted to a different species when pregnant. When Lythill's body instinctively refused to shapeshift, to protect her unborn child, Antonius manually took control of her autonomic nervous system and forced her to shift to dragon form, when her baby was still inside her human womb. The terrible trauma that ensued resulted in Lythill's painful death, but the baby survived. Annoyed that he lost a good test subject, Antonius decided to keep his newborn son and use him as a new guinea pig.
Evan grew up under constant horrific abuse from his father. He was allowed to keep his free will, for Antonius found it more satisfying to torment someone who could actually suffer, as opposed to a mindless slave like Lythill. Evan could not understand why his father always hurt him for seemingly no reason, and grew to strongly detest any sort of needless suffering. As Evan grew, he found that his father's abuse began hurting less and less, and it did not take long for him to realize that he was growing more powerful. He hid his increasing powers from his father, easily done thanks to Antonius's arrogance and overconfidence, and plotted revenge. One day, when Evan was sure he's become stronger than his father, he attacked Antonius when the latter was asleep. One ferocious battle later, their house lay in ruins, and Evan stood victorious in the form of a humanoid dragon, having devoured his father whole.
Having no other purpose in life, Evan continued his father's magical research, to sate his own curiosity. He did not want to harm innocents, so he conducted the experiments on himself, which slowly made him even more powerful, until he was sure he had enough power to obliterate entire mountains. A forbidden ritual that Antonius half-completed, a ritual that allegedly allowed one to merge with the Dweomerheart itself and gain incalculable powers, promised to make Evan even more powerful, but he never dared to touch such a thing.
Evan was content with living the rest of his life alone, conducting research, before his lab was raided by soldiers from an unknown army. And so he became caught up in the politics and warfare of the outside world. At first, he lent his strength to the side whose cause he believed to be just, but he soon learned that the world did not exist in moral black and white, but rather in shades of gray. Every side thought their cause was just, and it was simply not possible to make any compromises that made everyone happy. Evan wandered the world for two centuries like this, occasionally helping whichever faction who sought to better the world, but always failing miserably each time, until he reached a state of utter despair. He concluded that since he was more powerful than anyone else, he was the only one who could truly protect the world from itself.
And so Evan completed his father's forbidden ritual, entered the Sea of Chaos, and became one with the nexus of all magic. Such was the birth of Deus Magicus, the one true god to ever walk the Earth, and the most brutal tyrant the world had ever seen. The immense power warped Evan's mind and soul, and he found himself resorting to more and more drastic measures, to quell all forms of dissent at their roots. All for the sake of peace, he reasoned.
The world endured Evan's tyranny for three centuries, but not forever. The rebellions eventually became harder and harder to contain. With him as the common enemy, the world was finally united, with all of its most powerful mages gathered together one day in a massive siege on his throne. When even that wasn't enough, the rebels unleashed their trump card, tearing a rift into some plane of eldritch terror beyond even the Sea of Chaos. From the rift came a being whom words failed to describe, whose mere presence shattered the sanity of all but the strongest of minds. It and Evan did battle, bringing ruin to the world and, ultimately, to each other.
Evan thought himself perished then. His soul was shattered, along with the Dweomerheart itself, its remains pulled into the Sea of Chaos. But after what seemed like an eternity, he found himself slowly coming back to consciousness. He was but a fragment of his former self, a formless orb of magic, still possessing enough power to destroy cities with ease but nowhere near strong enough to claim the world once more. And only when his mind was no longer clouded by all that continent-shattering power did the atrocity of his past deeds finally dawn upon him.
When Evan opened a portal back to Earth, he found that a thousand years had passed as he drifted mindlessly in the Sea of Chaos. It tore his heart apart to see the world in ruins a second time, once again brought by humanity's nature to wage war with itself. But he could not bring himself to attempt to right the world's wrongs again. Instead, donning the disguise of a nameless hooded figure, Evan sought out the survivors of the second global calamity, and taught them the basics of magic, giving them the opportunity to survive and rebuild. Evan then swore to never interfere in the world's affairs again, and watched in passivity for two hundred years as the second age of magic took its hold. Unsurprisingly, the humans and their creations began fighting with each other again, after they'd sufficiently rebuilt and grown. At that, Evan could only bitterly laugh. Feeling that his previous identity was as meaningless as his attempts to change the world, Evan threw away his old name, and began calling himself "the Evanescent One", grimly acknowledging all the fleeting differences, or the lack thereof, that he'd managed to make.
The world finally became interesting to Evan again when one day, another group of humans and affiliated creatures suddenly came, seemingly from the stars themselves, bringing with them fascinating powers and technologies Evan had never seen before. As they made contact with the magic-wielding inhabitants of Earth, war loomed on the horizon, but that was of little surprise to him. As a nameless, solitary wanderer, he cared little for how the two sides would wage even more war. All that interested him was the Tech side's powers, and the new possibilities they could bring.

Skills: Thanks to his over seven hundred years of experience (not considering the one thousand years he spent unconsciously floating in the Sea of Chaos), and immense intellect, Evan has amassed a large number of skills, each mastered to a degree that is virtually impossible for anyone who didn't have as much time as he did.

Full list of skills [+]

Hyper-Intelligence: Calling Evan a “genius” would be a gross understatement. He is one of the brightest minds to ever exist in the history of mankind. His intellect is so great that he can not only rapidly grasp any complex abstract concepts incredibly quickly, but also to improve upon them and make them his own. Genius-level intellect is practically required to understand any of his ideas.

Extensive Arcane Knowledge: Having spent centuries researching magic, Evan is vastly knowledgeable in every field of magic and magical sciences, including but not limited to alchemy, smithing, enchanting, engineering, and the construction of magical artifacts. He is also exceedingly adept at magic in general, fully aware of most of its possibilities and limitations. It is not an understatement to say that Evan is the most knowledgeable scholar of magic on Earth.

Daunting Mind: Because of Evan's incredible intellect, willpower, and many lifetimes of experiences, affecting his mind with mental magic is an extremely difficult task. The sheer depth, weight, and complexity of his mind will overwhelm the vast majority of people who dares to make mental contact with him, unless Evan consciously helps the other party in deciphering his thought processes.

Analysis: Evan is exceptionally keen and analytical, capable of rapidly deducing the properties of most things he encounters based on very little available information.

General Combat Proficiency: Over the many centuries of his life, Evan has taught himself almost all forms of physical combat, including the usage of most types of melee weaponry, marksmanship, and most forms of martial arts. He may not be the best in most of these combat styles, but he's still a deadly fighter, especially considering the great versatility of all the things he has learned.

Polearm Mastery: Evan is virtually unmatched in melee combat using the quarterstaff and most types of polearms, including the scythe, battleaxe, lance, trident, warhammer, glaive, and halberd.

Dragon Combat Mastery: Evan is virtually unmatched in melee combat when taking the form of a dragon. This includes unarmed combat using claws, teeth, horns, wings, and a prehensile tail, aided by flight and breath weapons.

Abilities: Having once been unquestionably the most powerful and skilled magic user in the whole world, Evan has thoroughly mastered all three styles of magic. He possesses numerous abilities under each style, all of which he can use with deadly efficiency.

Full list of abilities [+]

Spellcasting:
Energy Magic: These are the elements of energy Evan can create and control.
- Heat: Evan can create heat and fire of incredibly high temperatures.
- Cold: Evan can create ice and cold energy of incredibly low temperatures.
- Electric: Evan can create incredibly powerful electric currents and electrostatic discharges. Since this electricity is generated by magic, it can ignore the normal laws of electromagnetism somewhat.
- Chemical: Evan can create incredibly potent poisons and corrosive chemicals.
- Light: Evan can create magical light to heal, cleanse status effects, bolster other magic, and to simply inflict damage through molecular disintegration, in a way similar to burning but without heat.
- Dark: Evan can create magical darkness to drain energy, curse enemies with various weaknesses, and to inflict damage through rot and decay.
Material Magic: These are the elements of matter Evan can create and control.
- Gas: Evan can create air and other gases, and manipulate them to form gale winds, razor-sharp air blades, and compressed air bullets.
- Liquid: Evan can create water and other liquids, and manipulate them to form blunt melee attacks and pressurized waterjets.
- Earth: Evan can create stone and other earthen materials, and form various structures with them.
- Metal: Evan can create metals, and form various structures with them. Compared to earth, metal is relatively lacking in toughness but more malleable.
- Plant: Evan can create wood and other plant tissues, and form various structures with them. Plant is not as tough as metal or earth, but can regenerate much more easily and efficiently.
- Flesh: Evan can create flesh and bone, and form various structures with them. Flesh is not as tough as metal or earth, but can devour other substances to sustain and repair itself.
Aether Magic: Evan can manipulate the raw energy of magic, using it to pass through solid matter and directly damage structures made of energy. He can also use this magic to manipulate space, allowing him to create gravitational force, open portals, and teleport, though the latter two require around half a minute of uninterrupted concentration if the destination is not in Evan's immediate vicinity, and can't be done too many times in rapid succession.
Mind Magic: Evan can manipulate psionic energy to affect other people's minds in a variety of ways. He can make mental contact with willing targets to share thoughts, emotions, memories, and information. He can forcibly invade the mind of another, and attempt to extract information, influence the mind, or simply inflict mental damage; all of these things are resisted by willpower and magical power. He can defend his own mind, and has crafted a literal nigh-impenetrable fortress of psionic energy around his mind for protection, though the fortress must be repaired if damaged. And he can use psionic energy as an especially powerful sixth sense to scan and analyze everything around himself, even if his normal senses are disabled.
Crystallization: By combining his six material elements, Evan can create an exceptionally strong purple crystal that deforms like plastic under stress, and can be rapidly regrown. He can also project a luminescent purple mist that converts matter into his purple crystal on contact, molecule by molecule, in a manner similar to petrification. The crystallization energy can pass through already crystallized matter, so the crystallization process will start at the surface and spread its way down. This is comparable to destroying the matter and recreating it as crystal, so it's a damaging attack and can be resisted by strong defense.
Sunforce: By combining his six energy elements, Evan can create a bright golden yellow sunlight-like energy with dark sunspot-like flecks. The energy is intensely destructive, and subjects the victim to the damaging effects of all six energy elements simultaneously on contact, making it equally effective against most enemies regardless of elemental resistances and weaknesses.

Evocation: Evan has several Evoked magical items, mostly made of his unique brand of purple crystal and decorated with golden runes, themed around monarchy, due to his past status as the sorcerer-king.
Crystal Spire (staff): An intricate magical staff made of crystal, representing Evan's royal scepter. It's an incredibly powerful tool for channeling and focusing magic, and possesses the durability of Evan's special crystal, and thus can be used as a quarterstaff in melee combat. Additionally, the staff can transform into seven different polearms, by manifesting seven different heads on its tip. Each of the forms are briefly described below.
- Angel of Death (scythe, Light/Metal): A scythe with a pristine, silvery white metallic blade, in the shape of a thin angelic wing. With every strike, it sends out multiple translucent wing blades of white light that passes through solid matter to damage energy structures, before the solid blade it self strikes. When delivering a killing blow, this weapon is likely to destroy the victim's soul too.
- Devourer (battleaxe, Dark/Flesh): A battleaxe made of blackened, demonic-looking bone. The axe devours flesh, blood, and energy to empower itself or heal its user when cleaving into the body of an enemy.
- Stormbolt (lance, Electric/Gas): A lance that normally has only an ornate, yellowish bronze flute-like metal pipe at the end. When in combat, air and lightning pass through the pipe to form an incredibly sharp drill tip of electrified wind, able to extend itself with a thrust attack of incredible penetrative power (no sex jokes, please). The lance can also be thrown as a javelin, and will teleport back to the user's hand afterwards.
- Arctriton (trident, Cold/Liquid): A trident made of glowing, cold blue ice. The three prongs can rapidly melt, move, and re-freeze to trap an opponent's weapon, growing more prongs if necessary.
- Titan Blaze (warhammer, Heat/Earth): A warhammer made of what appears to be magma, wreathed in flames. Its molten state does not hinder its toughness in the slightest, and it can create extremely powerful fiery explosions at point-blank range with each hit. The explosions do not harm Evan or the weapon itself.
- World-Leaf (glaive, Chemical/Plant): A glaive with a blade that is a single slender, razor-sharp, vibrantly green leaf; the base of the blade is decorated with a yellowish white flower and a few smaller leaves. Despite its appearance, the leaf blade is highly durable, regenerative, and can strike with deadly speed, not to mention it drips with a variety of venoms and acids.
- Dragon's Soul (halberd, Aether): A halberd made of purple crystal, etched with golden yellow runes. This weapon combines the abilities and properties of all six weapons above, and is only used when Evan decides to truly treat an opponent seriously.
Crystal Raiment (robe): An incredibly ornate robe weaved from what appears to be crystalline threads, decorated with myriads of arcane runes, this represents Evan's royal robe. It possesses extremely powerful protective enchantments, capable of shifting its elemental properties to specifically defend against virtually any type of magical or physical attack. It can also change its form, into a suit of crystalline armor, or any outfit Evan can imagine.
Crystal Heart (orb): A fist-sized orb of runed crystal, this represents Evan's globus cruciger. The orb can assemble a physical body of any shape, out of almost any energy or substance in the environment, or out of Evan's own energy, to form a semi-autonomous golem servant, with elemental attacks corresponding to the materials it's made of. A large number of these orbs can be deployed at once to create Evan's personal army, though they still all run on his own energy.
Crystal Crown (crown): An elaborate crown made of crystal and decorate with runes. This item massively enhances Evan's mental clarity and reaction speed, potentially to the point of giving him bullet time, while boosting his already almost impregnable mental defenses. It also rapidly and automatically scans and analyzes everything around Evan, warning him of all dangers. Lastly, it can see a few seconds into the future, allowing Evan to react to almost anything and practically never get caught off-guard.

Shapeshifting: As a master Shifter, Evan can freely mix and match any and all features of all of the forms below.
Transhuman: This is Evan's default, humanoid form. Though it doesn't look very special, all of its physical attributes are superhuman, including but not limited to durability, strength, agility, reflexes, speed, senses, and rate of healing. It is also immune to all non-supernatural (i.e. not made from Magi or Tech power) diseases. The body only appears scarred, as described in the Appearance section, because Evan chose to keep the scars dealt to him by the blows of those who fought back against his oppression, as reminders of his crimes.
Material Elemental: Evan can transform his entire body into any combination of his elements of matter, and freely shape that matter, though he typically transforms into crystal. This potentially grants him extreme durability.
Ethereal Elemental: Evan can transform his entire body into any combination of his elements of energy, and freely shape that energy, though he typically transforms into golden solar energy. This potentially grants him extreme speed.
Dragon: Evan can transform into a dragon of variable size, ranging from the size of a person to something... truly colossal, suffice to say. The dragon form possesses purple crystalline scales, and golden yellow reptilian eyes, and any mane or other hair it has is the same as Evan's pale blond. The dragon form's natural weapons are obviously incredibly deadly, including its breath weapon, which can be any of Evan's elements of energy, Sunforce, and Crystallization mist. The dragon form also has a third, vertical eye on the middle of its forehead, capable of firing an incredibly concentrated beam of any energy type that its breath weapon can fire. The third eye can also be manifested in transhuman form. If combined with material or ethereal elemental form, the dragon's innards can become crystal or energy. Evan's Crystal Crown can be worn when in dragon form, his Crystal Raiment can become armor for the dragon form, and his Crystal Spire can merge into the tip of the dragon's tail.

Possessions:
Crystal Palace: An underground laboratory twenty or so kilometers below sea level, somewhere under Mount Everest. It is protected by powerful magical barriers, anti-teleportation wards, and golem guards. Evan himself is the only person who can bypass these security measures, and teleport or open portals into the laboratory; anyone else will need to either break through the anti-teleportation wards or the magical barriers. The lab contains a number of apparatuses for conducting magical experiments, hand-crafted by Evan himself during the past two centuries. He usually returns to the lab and focuses on research for a while, whenever he gets tired of walking the Earth.
