Sorry I wrote a lot. This character is based a lot off of me and was part of a big book I tried to write a couple years ago. Tried to condense it as best I could while still explaining the world he lives in. Name: Birth Name (Lucious Newton) , Given Name (Plato Prometheus), Preferred Name(Jacen) Age: 29 Species: Human Looks: Dark skinned, thin dreadlocked hair down to his shoulders, fit build(not bulky), 6 ft. tall, wears long one-sided cape pinned on his left shoulder over a futuristic "cleric" suit. History: Born in the year 2191 into a futuristic Earth society, Jacen was boy who lacked any real sense of direction or drive. He grew up in hard working middle class family of engineers and machinists without a want of anything. He had a very nice childhood with everything he needed and grew complacent. He never really wanted anything special and was content with the status quo. Jacen's contentment made it very easy for him to be generous and somewhat selfless towards those in need of help. After all, why not help others? It wouldn't bother him to sacrifice some time and effort on another's behalf. His complacent demeanor was broken one day when his mother became very ill. Modern medicine and health care were able to take care of her but she could no longer work. Shocked by the sudden shift in his "normal" life, Jacen began to realize that the life he was given had been a gift and that he, had been wasting it. He began to feel he had a responsibility to make use of his talents to help those less fortunate than himself. Finally, Jacen began to really apply himself. He was a smart and talented kid and was eventually accepted to study at the academies of the Supreme Council, the governing body of the world's greatest scientists, inventors, and engineers that ran the world where he received his given name. Jacen spent the next 10 years learning and studying all he could in the hopes of one day becoming a member of the Council. In his training he became close friends with another student named Davinci who was an excellent physicist and they worked together often. Jacen's expertise was engineering but his passion was music. Jacen's society, being a meritocracy, welcomed any and all with the skills and the knowledge to benefit society while shunning those who could contribute little. Seeing this inherent injustice Jacen wished to change the way the Council governed the Earth hubs(basically giant cities, there are 25 of them around the world). The day came when Jacen and Davinci had completely their final trial, inventing a powerful and useful device using new technology. They created the StarGazer, a large staff-like device that was capable of manipulating light(all wavelengths of light, UV, Gamma, etc.) in order to project the thoughts of the user into the real world! The device could be used manually or with Jacen's new telepathic circlets. Not only that, the device came with a compact and more powerful version of the Council's electromagnets. Which means it could also manipulate magnetic fields. It was their crowning achievement and after unveiling it Jacen caught word that Council intended to use their new device as a weapon in their war with an alien planet, and possibly worse, as a way to control and influence the people of Earth.
The following night, Jacen snuck into the lab, stole the StarGazer, destroyed all the extra blueprints of it, and fled academy forever. If their device was ever mass-produced the Council or the army could use the circlets and the device to effectively mind control people. He couldn't let this happen, even if it meant denying Davinci of his greatest dream, to become a Council member. Now Plato changed his name to Jacen and travels the Earth and the galaxy helping others, aiding the war effort, and attempting to spark a revolution that will reform the Council and benefit all of the citizens, not just the ones the Council sees fit. Job: A travelling friend and caretaker, avoiding the Council's spies and helping those in need Weapon/Accessories: The StarGazer, a metallic cape he can control with magnetism, his circlet for the StarGazer, and his favorite invention the omni-instrument(an orb that can mimic any instrument or sound through touch or telepathically) Personality: A positive energetic person, very slow to anger but uncontrollable when enraged, loves making jokes, singing songs, and being with people. Constantly doubting and overthinking things especially himself. Constantly feels guilty for ruining his best friends life-long dream. Can be very laid-back and even lazy at times.

OH! And you might think someone who can manipulate light, all forms of EM radiation, and magnetism would be OP but keep in mind that the StarGazer can't create light/energy, only manipulate the light and magnetic fields that exist around it. That and in order to effectively use the device you need an serious amount of focus and concentration not to mention some slight strain on the brain. And here's the kicker, Jacen can be quite the scatter brain at times. Thinking about multiple things at once, jumping randomly from one thought to another. If you're not focused when projecting your thoughts the StarGazer doesn't care. So if you were thinking about a place or a design or trying to make yourself invisible and your mind wanders to other things... don't be surprised if the StarGazer is projecting you imagining your high school crush or that pizza you ate last weekend. LOL.

Woaw that was a long read. Ok here are my comments.
Cool character and cool story but I think that him actually having the staff makes him too op and it's kind of reckless. All the council would need to do is find him sleeping os something and take it away. Otherwise he is basically invincible with the ultimate staff weapon.
I would say a better course of action would have been either hiding it or destroying it. Or maybe breaking it into pieces and hiding them, that would make for a good quest of regaining the pieces before the council.
Lol I can imagine a whole story going around the council taking someone he loves hostage so he can bring the staff to them only to them try to double cross him anf attack him in yhe place he hid it, just to find only a small piece of the whole staff.
Sorry I'm getting ahead of myself (I love writing) anyways yeah that's my point of view. Like it but think he might be too op

OH! Lol, yea. I already knew he could come off as too OP if didn't mention how the staff really worked. I definitely like that idea of him giving up the staff to save someone he loves. Or even him wrestling with the idea of simply destroying it. Plus the staff is really difficult to use without the circlet Jacen invented. And there are only two ever made. One he wears and the one he had to steal from his friend Davinci when he left. Without those it'd take them years to be able to effectively use the technology.

Ok. Last thing I'm going to post about my character on here. This is a conversation between him and a girl from the family that have been harboring him recently. I figure it'll help explain how the StarGazer works and how Jacen thinks.
"So how do you manage to turn invisible all the time?" the young woman asked through beaming eyes. "Well, that's a really good question." Jacen chuckled. "The more traditional idea of invisibility that the army uses today is based off the principle of bending the light around an object in order to project the view from the opposite side. In practice, it's rather effective but in order to do that using my staff I'd need to be completely aware of my surroundings at all times and attempt to display the full 360 view while walking and doing other things." "That sounds really difficult and boring" the girl's enthusiasm was waning. "Exactly! Which is why I use a different method to disappear." Her mile wide grin had returned in anticipation. "Instead of trying to make people see everything around me, I try to make it as if I'm not even there. I imagine that I don't exist."
"But how do you do that?"
"Simple. You first have to stop thinking about yourself. Pretend the whole world spinning and whirling along without you. Imagine a world where you were never born." Jacen's smile began to fade and he closed his eyes as he continued. "Pretend that you're out of place, that you don't belong here. Imagine that you're insignificant. That you are nothing. Imagine that you have no impact on the world what so ever. That you're simply a passive observer of the people and events around you. Silent. Unheard. Unseen. Unwanted. Unnecessary. A ghost..."
As his words trailed off Jacen appeared to quickly fade out of existence. Disappearing like a vapor in the wind only to reappear moments later with a goofy grin and outstretched arms as if expecting applause. When Jacen opened his eyes he was greeted not with the ecstatic smile of an amazed little girl but with a look of sorrow and pity. "D.. Do you do that often? Pretend you're nothing." her hands were shaking but Jacen hadn't noticed. "Well, yes! It's rather easy actually and pretty useful. I use it a lot whenever I have to sneak away from the officers, it's also great for pulling pranks on people!"
"Well, please don't turn invisible here, ok? There's no need disappear while you're here with us." The girl turned and quickly went off to her room leaving Jacen standing in the den, alone. Confused.
