'''PLANAR TRAVEL:''' By opening momentary doorways in space, Theo can travel the Multiverse without any external aid. Theo's planeswalking activation method requires directed will, a shock of some kind to reflexively draw upon local mana, and sudden motion. Due to the required ritual, the amount of mana required to open a hole and his total lack of short-range teleportation capability, Theo's planeswalking ability is effectively useless in combat. While he is capable of bringing passengers through the Aether with him, the dangers inherent in his method of transit make it extremely risky for anyone who lacks a method of protection against the Aether's effects to come with him, and generally shouldn't be attempted until he has a firmer grasp on how the ability works. The usual wards against teleportation will suffice to prevent use of this power.

A teenager from an Earth like many others, Theo Morrison is many things: a student, a gamer, and -- most recently -- a Planeswalker. After narrowly avoiding death by meteor, Theo's latent Planeswalker's Spark ignited, the previously-unknown inborn talent suddenly granting him phenomenal cosmic power and little knowledge of how to use it. Curiously, a popular card game on his home Earth functions with this newfound power, allowing him the ability to conjure armies and lay waste to his enemies... but only if he plays by the rules. Clever, curious, outspoken and otherwise friendly, Theo wants nothing more than to explore the Multiverse, see all there is to see, and to hone his newfound strength along the way -- and will accept nothing less, either. Unfortunately, his reliance on a games rules and accoutrements coupled with his own lack of personal combat ability will make seeing it all much that more difficult...
