Emblem Trailblazer

Name: Unknown

Code Name: Emblem

Sex: Male

Age: 22

Length: 6'4''

Origin: The Netherlands

Powers:

- Self developed fighting style based on Pro Wrestling and Muay-Thai

- Magician, mostly creation and manipulation of fire. The special thing about this spellcasting is that Emblem envisions Emblems and incantations to weave more powerful spells, while 'lesser' spells would be cast without saying anything. Emblem's innate ability is to control the (magical) energies around him and inside him and weave those into spells. He refers to this as being an Infinimagus, a magician who seems without limit in terms of magical energy. Emble mdoes have a limit however, which can be slightly stretched by adrenaline or other objects.

- Experience and Clarity. Emblem has been spellcasting ever since he got his powers and combined with his earlier access to the Infinimagus Initiative, he had achieved high levels of experience and has no trouble spellcasting in many different situations. Due to the fact that Emblem has drunk from the Chalice of Harmony, he also seems to see everything more clear then he ever used to, not gettng blue anymore or doubting his own abilities, but keeping himself levelheaded at most times. He would sometines deny this ability or misuse it for fun though. Would he be infected by those who poison the mind, or infiltrate it, he will know. He might not get them out, but he will be able to see both allusions and reality. This does instill a lot of euphoria, for some weird reason.

Affinity: Good

History/Description:

He always knew he was special. He always knew he was different then others. Yet, that would never stop him living his life with others, as it should be...Until that one day. Sometimes rage can be all consuming, eating away at your very personality. Knowing he sometimes had attacks of rage, but trying to seal them inside wasn't the best idea this kid ever had. That one day, he couldn't keep it to himself, even though he tried as hard as he could. He could feel his mental barriers breaking, cracking and shattering. All he ever tried to keep his rage to himself was burned to the ground, almost literally.

Before he knew it, he envisioned some sort of emblems, and fire was cast everywhere it could go. Not being able to control this special newfound power, the fires raged on and on, until, at one point, the boy didn't have any rage inside him anymore, and the fire stopped as if it was pure magic. The boy looked at his hands, and saw they didn't have any burned spots. While some furniture was reduced to ashes, some important pictures on the wall weren't even charred.

The boy knew it would endanger everyone he knew to stay, and decided to head out on a journey. He had new powers to explore, but most important, he needed to learn to control them and to control his mind. In more then 4 years later, and having traveled around the world, 'Emblem' as he is called, has gone a really long way. Yet it costed him his life, almost. A new tribevillage he found had provided him everythign he wanted. Work, tutoring in magic, and even love. Yet after the Night of Stars, he lost it all. In grief, he travelled to the only place he knew housed people with superpowers. Jump City. Now he stands before one of his toughest battles yet. Does he use his magical experience for good or evil? Will he keep his mind in check, or will he burn cities to the ground?

(2 TTRPG years later) Emblem knew he would not. Amongst other things, he achieved greatness. People loved him for his contact. He would always jam in the Jump City Park with Bob, he would be kind to all, woudl be willing to help, and fought crime on many different scales. However slowly, it corrupted his thoughts. Emblem desperately sought for knowledge to learn about his powers, and a way to help himself instead of helping others. he could not. After defeating the GEII together with Krious, Emblem discovered his old village had been destroyed by that company, and his wife had been revived with necromancy. In rage, he blew up theentire building. For this, he sent himself to Arkham, but that did not do him any good. After Arkham and all it's mysterious curses, Emblem joined Titans North, together with none other then Krious Alistair and Simca Katapiete. They were great friends, yet after an alternate universe was shown to them, Emblem doubted himself and started travelling, scared by what he had seen.

On this journey, where he was looking for the Chalice of Harmony, Emblem was defeated by Legion and Hellion, two demonic brothers who were the reason the Infinimagus Initiative was created by the same tribe Emblem lived with in the Asian mountains. An evil Emblem wrought destruction upon Jump, possessed by the demons, before they were exorcised by every other titan, and with help from Krious and Simca who used the chalice of Harmony.

After this, Emblem regained his posture with a new clarity and insight. He repelled a killer meteor called Aesheattre that was poised to struck Earth. Now, Emblem sent himself to Impel Down, as a sign of repenting. While he had not been himself, he still feels responsible, and is poised to do it all again, but right this time.

Uniform / Appearance:

Emblem found a special place in the Far East. Training with old sages and spirited youngsters have made him progress with his own control, both physically and mentally. To show this, Emblem still wears the oriental-style robes that he wore when he lived there. Emblem's control has made his hair as white as snow, his eyes green with a rare small golden glow, only visible to those who take a really good look. Legend has it Emblem only shows this to people he trust or to those who are worthy. Emblem is slim, yet moderately muscled due to his own intense training regime. When he used to watch wrestling, he started training his own body. With some influences from Muay-Thai, Emblem has created a-simple-to-learn-hard-to-master fighting style. Unlike the painting shown above, Emblem does not have that much of a beard, sometimes a bit sometimes nothing, and doesn't look as old too.




Personality:

'Emblem' has blocked most telepathic ways to his mind, but that doesn't say he's out of his own danger zone. Emblem still faces his mental problems, his attacks of anger and rage, while being serene, calm, and more-ten-a-bit impulsive at times. He feels he's just like a fire, so he tends to fire magic mostly. He is able to cast more types of magic with his 'Emblems', but he thinks fire is mostly the best option. Emblem can be very social, but has chosen to travel around alone, to grow more and learn more. He knows the emblems he sees are ones he thought about when he was a kid. He knows he can do a lot, if he just thinks about it. Yet, he knows that can be very dangerous, messing with reality mostly isn't a good idea. He's struggling, knowing he has huge potential, but no effective or productive way to harness it, without endangering something or someone. This special power mostly shows when he needs it most, when he's in grave peril.

That was how he used to think. Due to the Clarity bestowed upon him, Emblem has stepped into the light, even when it was dark. He's peaceful, more analytical then ever and when you get to know him, some very good company. While he would love to do nothing more then lie down on a grassy doing some stargazing and remembering his deceased wife, he can be serious when he needs to be. Emblem will listen to his friends, mostly Krious and Simca, partially because of his repressed guilt, and mostly because he values them above his own life. He could be called suicidal as he stil ltends to block any incoming attack for his friends, resulting in a lot of scars. It is said Emblem fears no death, as he has looked it in the eyes, and when he dies, he knows where he's going. To his fiancee.
