Profile

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...

COMBAT INEPT: Outside of his deck-based spellcasting, Theo is actually a completely untrained combatant. Barring some afternoons spent hitting people with sticks for fun, any engagement with him outside his element will be laughably one-sided.

RULEBOUND: Theo's ritualized method of casting spells through trading cards requires him to observe all the rules he would normally have to to play the game. In addition to requiring a legal deck, Theo has to go through all the motions of playing a normal game for anything to work, even in the midst of combat. If he wants to cast a spell hes drawn from his deck, he has to cast it during the right part of his turn and have the mana to use it. Similarly, he has to have garnered an appropriate reaction from an opponent to take another turn, effectively making it all but impossible to use his abilities from a position of surprise or to use them unhindered. Should he render a foe unable to act through any means available to him by means of his deck short of actually defeating them, he may continue to act as normal; similarly, if someone deliberately allows him time to build up, a reaction is unnecessary to continue.

SPECIALIZED FOCI: While Theo does possess the capacity to learn magic normally and to become a powerful mage to boot, his total reliance on his deck means that without it, he's effectively helpless. Removing it from him before he can begin using it is a perfectly reasonable method of stopping him before he becomes a problem. Until he learns a more traditional method of casting all the spells theoretically available to him via his decks, his reliance on them as a crutch will surely continue.

MANA DEPENDENCY: Theo's spellcasting ability relies heavily on the use of mana to function. Spells are grouped according to the color of associated mana needed to cast them, with each color having a particular environment it's found in. If Theo finds himself casting spells of the wrong type in the wrong environment -- say, fighting someone in a forest while attempting to draw blue mana, normally found around islands -- he can be at a significant disadvantage. Certain objects (artifacts) can generate a small amount of mana outside the appropriate environments or alter the color to suit his needs, though they're almost never enough to wholly negate a bad choice of battlefield.

CURIOSITY KILLED THE CASTER: Theo likes the idea that there are all sorts of cool things out there among the Multiverse. In fact, he might like it a little too much. If given the opportunity, he'll go out of his way to look for and collect cool things, to ask pointed questions, and to try and learn things people don't want known. This will almost certainly get him into a lot of trouble down the line.

MALDWYN THEODOTUS MORRISON: Yes, that is his full name. No, you may not call him by it.

Trivia/Facts

• Theo babbles when he's nervous. This has been observed in action -- repeatedly.
• Theo is followed around by a Myr Servitor he has dubbed Kickotron. The name is both a stupid joke and pretty appropriate.
