Character You Would Like To Play: Dr. Stephen Strange
Powers: Doctor Strange is a skilled athlete and martial artist with substantial medical and magical knowledge. Strange has anunparalleled mastery of the mystic arts, his primary magical patrons are a group of entities known as "the Vishanti."
The Vishanti are a trinity of godly beings comprised of Agamotto, Hoggoth, and Oshtur. Although recently he has called upon the power of the demon Dormammu. Stephen is capable of a great many abilities such as:
astral projection, telepathy, hypnotism,
longevity, mystic bolts, transmutation, telekinesis, and shields.
Basic History Of The Character (Up until this point): Stephen earned his medical degree in record time and entered a five-year residency at New York Hospital, where his rapid success made him arrogant. Stephen's mother Beverly died near the end of his residency, and work became more and more impersonal for the bereaved surgeon. Strange's talent remained, however, and he became a wealthy and celebrated neurosurgeon before he turned thirty. Egotistical and greedy, cold and callous, Strange's interest in his patients generally began and ended at his bill.
Strange was involved in a debilitating car accident. Though surgeons were able to save Strange, the nerves in his hands were severely damaged. With his surgical career over and too vain to accept positions as a consultant or assistant, Strange exhausted his fortune following every rumored treatment, no matter how legitimate. In a matter of months the once wealthy surgeon became a derelict, and resorted to performing a number of shady medical procedures to survive (and pay his growing bar tabs).
After hearing rumors of the mystical Ancient One, Strange pawned his last possessions for a ticket to the East. Strange found the Ancient One's Tibetan palace, but the aged sorcerer refused to cure him. Annoyed, Strange later bore witness to a mystical attack by Mordo, the Ancient One's own pupil. Though Mordo tried to mystically prevented Strange from warning the Ancient One, the doctor was able to quickly attack the man killing him with a knife to the heart.
Strange then learned that the Ancient One was the Sorcerer Supreme, mystical defender of the whole world; for the first time in years Strange acted to defend others, and vowed to learn magic himself so that he could atone for what he did to Mordo and aid the Ancient One. Aware of Mordo's treachery the whole time, the Ancient One accepted Strange as a disciple.
Strange spent years under the Ancient One's tutelage, learning to tap the innate mystic powers of himself and the world around him, as well as how to invoke the powers of Principalities, powerful beings such as Dormammu, Satannish, and the Vishanti, who reside in their own mystic realms.
Strange was a perfect student, but he had within him a darkness. Years of being shunned by his former peers, and searching in vain for a cure to his damaged hands, left the man a hallow shell of his former self. So when the demon Dormammu sought out Strange and offered him power beyond his wildest dreams, the man could hardly say no.
After Dormammu had established an alliance with Strange, the Ancient One saw amazing improvement in his student. As Stephen grew in power, the Ancient One felt it was time to pass on his title as Sorcerer Supreme to his disciple. Strange was put through and passed a test against Death itself. As a reward, Strange was given ageless life, and an ankh-shaped mark on his forehead that would only appear when his life was in dire jeopardy. The Ancient One himself had attained near-immortality by passing this test over 600 years earlier.
The instant Strange became the Sorcerer Supreme he struck down his former master. Now Strange travels the world in an attempt to gain ultimate power over everything. While on the surface appearing like a friendly, and trustworthy person, Strange typically plays heroes against each other, using them as pawns in some grand scheme.

Please Provide A Small Sample Post In The Format You Wish To Portray Your Character In:
Dr. Stephen Strange sat back in the large chair, a smile across his handsome face. The hero before him looked confused, but the instant the velvet, deep voice of the Sorcerer Supreme was heard a sense of calm filled the room, "
Now, now, no need to be so tense. I am here as a friend."
Strange held his hand out, and a fine mist drifted about the room. The man waited till images of lost loves, dreams unfilled, and paths not taken clouded the mind of the hero. "
Anything you want can be yours. I ask nothing more then a favor."
Standing Stephen made a tight fist. The joy, and hope within the room quickly where sucked away and replaced by a cold dread. The smile upon Dr. Strange's face never faded, "
If you cross me however, you shall learn what pain is." A laugh filled the room, a deep booming, wicked laugh that shook the very walls of the city.
