Alias(es): None known to mortals. Was known as Fennu in ancient China.
Race: Dragon
Level: Elder
Apparent Age:38
True Age: 2815 (he honestly doenst know)
Does your Character own a weapon? (Be sure to list any weapons your character may have with them coming into town) Own? A great many in his collection. Swords, spears, And so on, but none them are with him and he cant use them regardless.
Profession:
Occultist: Max has always found the magical and the bizarre to be exciting. Over thousands of years he has studied the occult. the dark, the strange and unique. As such he has become an extremely well known authority on matters of the occult. Magical beings, old gods, dead cultures, mystical phenomena or little known magical creatures. You could also look at this as being a meta-anthropologist. His vast wealth has allowed him the chance to study the weird and wonderful all over the world. He would be considered to be a PhD on the subject. He has no spell casting power of his own. But is a scientist of the occult and weird.
Other Skills:
Extremely well connected: Max is rich. As said all over his app. Money opens all sorts of doors. He is also ancient. Hes one of those people that is "well connected" if he wants something its likely he "knows a guy". He has connections all over the world. Human and supernatural. Ancient and not. He has used his connections through the centuries to do all sorts of things. Black market things. Pretty things. Exotic foods... cars. But due to his selfish nature. He doesn't throw money around for others. It actually makes him smile sometimes to see lesser creatures struggle.
Hand to Hand Kung Fu: Max was in China at the birth of the Shaolin Temple. Having left Europe and all of its chaos and war behind. Max had fallen in love with with the idea of meditation and study. And from his growing position as a god figure in China he sought to help grow this budding temple. It was where he went to hide from people and creatures wanting something of him. It is where he found his peace.
Powers:
1) Clairvoyant: Max's primary power is far sight. He has massed his fortune using his talent for knowing how the chips will fall to lie cheat and steal from anyone and everyone over thousands of years. The more "important" the event the further in the future he could see it, or at least start to see it. For example a major natural disaster that will effect him could start to be seen a week out. Not the exact event just "something bad in the near future" He will see all the ways it can play out while he meditates. It would be thousands of possible ways it could play out a week out. It would not be until a day or less before that he would have a solid idea what is happening. Other uses would be seeing the past of an item that he has in his bare hands. It would be limited to an event that hes TRYING to locate. He cant just scan through the entire history of an object.
2) Astral Manipulation: The user can create, shape and manipulate astral energy, allowing them to project their astral form on physical plane and to the astral plane and interact there, see spirits, making spirits visible to others, astral trapping and potentially harming the dead.
3) Telepathic: User can read/sense another person's thoughts, communicate with them mentally and/or affect their minds/thoughts. Were he trying to put his back into it he could get into someones head and play around. Possibly doing great damage to them mentally. He was known in ancient China as a mind melter. Locking away that power from himself for centuries. Recent events have forced him to unlock his darkest powers. (Player consent)
4) Psychic Energy Manipulation: User can create, shape and manipulate psychic energy in various ways, including manifesting in material form. This takes the form of raw mental energy, From blasts of energy, to forging a sword with his mind... Its his will forced into reality. Anything he does with this power will NOT look real. It will be solid purple energy that looks nothing like a real object. This of course doesnt give him the skills to use what he creates. He wont suddenly know how to use a sword.
Weaknesses:
1) Little regard for humans (and shifters): Max is a dragon. In his head he is superior to others. Humans (Shifters are humans to him) are but lesser creatures to be used. When a human does something evil, or stupid or destructive he just sighs and shakes his head, not remotely surprised because all small things are small minded. Most sentient creatures can not possibly understand the world around them. Yet he does not care to uplift them for they are hopeless. Putting non magical beings in danger just to give another target for hunters so he is left alone. They are bugs and disposable.
2) More money then sense: Max is dirty filthy rich. Thousands of years of lieing and cheating from humans has made him a multi billionaire. He tends to like the good stuff. Cars, mansions, clothes. People rarely forget him after meeting him about once. Its a sure thing that once his Rolls limo gets to BC. He will come rolling into our little small town in a $300k custom Rolls Royce Phantom limo. But it goes to all facets of his life. He just stands out. Max calls it hiding in plain sight. But when its a small mountain town... it kinda gets noticed.
3) Mental Noise: All of his mental powers have the combined side effect of him hating public places as all the stray mental noise is enough to make him very sick unless he closes himself off entirely from his surroundings, effectively shutting off his mental powers. So long as his powers are active at all. He is going to be under the effects of this weakness. Its an always on pain in his tail that makes him the grump that he is. All those stray thoughts he cant shut out. Thing of this as a malfunction in his powers. This applies to his passive powers.
4) Mate Bond - A mate bond allows the other to sense their mate, this can be useful in knowing which direction they are, a vague sense of distance and if they are in good health or not as well as mood. If his mate is injured Max will feel it, causing pain and discomfort and lack of focus, it can also enrage him if she feels her being injured.. If his mate is angry, he can also be influenced by this but he can control his emotions better if it is just a mood flux. Max is mated to Kat. (Phoenix)
5) Burnout: If Max uses his mental powers too much, draws too much of himself he will make himself extremely ill.. or begin doing damage to himself. All of his mental powers directly draw from his body (unlike mages drawing from the energy around him) Everything he does drains him personally. This would act as further damage done on top of the noise as he begins using his active powers. While a witch gets tired. Max starts drawing directly from his body. While his powers are potent. He pays a steep price for using them. This weakness applies to his active powers.
6) Protective: Max feels that he needs to watch out for what is 'his'. He will go out of his way to protect his home with up to date security, guards and even traps.. When he lays a claim on something being his, it would be deadly for someone to try and take it this would include anything he marks as his own from in animate objects to animals/humans such as a mate. If any of this is threatened he would do anything to make it right. Usually by paying bounty hunters to deal with it.
7) Hard to miss: Max's ability to take human form is flawed. Where as he is a small dragon in the grand scheme of things for his age. His human form is a giant. As well as making people tend to take notice of the 7 foot tall wall of muscle that has to duck through doorways. And makes it nearly impossible to sneak up on people, or hide without use of his powers. As a creature that needs to stay hidden. Its just one more reason he keeps to himself. Its less just being tall. Its just being huge in general. People rarely forget meeting a guy thats a giant wall of a man like Max is. Max tries so amazingly hard to stay low key. But he just cant. As a dragon, being noticed by the wrong people can be fatal. Another factor in making him stand out to the wrong people. Part of Max's occult skills is a very low energy form of tattoo magic. He has runes and magic markings all over his body in his human form (they are there in his other forms to, but blend into his scales). People that know magic, or have any literacy in runes, would know there was something up about that. His appearance is just one of those things that doesn't seem entirely natural. He just tries to keep people from noticing.
