===POWERS===

Powers:

Endurance: Reaching into the essence of his allies, Jonah can knit together bones, heal flesh and banish fatigue. How long he has to hold the spell to heal the target and how much power is required to do so depend solely on the extent of the injuries of the target.

Smite: Lethal bolts of bio-lightning leap from Jonah's fingertips, ripping his foes apart. While no doubt flashy and powerful, this spell is a solid drain on Jonah's magic reserves. Combined with the fact that it can kill a normal living human outright, Jonah rarely uses it in combat. If he does, the intent is more shock and awe then wanton destruction, aiming for robotic enemies, unmanned cars and defensive positions or meta humans that would be able to survive the voltage.

Forewarning: Jonah's prophetic powers allow him to walk through a hail of fire, dodging incoming bullets by knowing their exact trajectories in advance. This ability is highly draining on Jonah by the second and holds the risk of him getting killed if he losses concentration for a split second. Just because he knows where the bullets are coming from and how they will be traveling in the air doesn't mean he would be certain to get out of the way in time.

Hallucination: Jonah induces paranoia, confusion, and panic into the minds of his enemies. Much like Mental Fortitude, this is a rather tricky spell to use in the field. In order to use it to the height of it's abilities, Jonah has to focus all of his attention on it to the point that he would be a sitting duck without the support and defenses of allies. Using this ability, Jonah can also convert the despair of his allies into hope and boosts their moral.

Demonic Possession: Part of the... arrangement with Ulkar was that should Jonah ever be in a situation in which he is on the verge of death, the demon would posses his body and deal with the threat himself in exchange for the souls of those he killed during his time on earth through Jonah. While Ulkar's possession insanely increases Jonah's magical powers and regeneration abilities to the point that he is next to impossible to kill by mortal means. Ulkar's appearance banishes Jonah's mind and soul elsewhere while he uses the body, however he can only be in control of the body for a limited time under normal circumstances. After a few minutes, Ulkar has to vacate his human vessel. It is possible to fend Ulkar off with holy magic and Possession cannot take place on holy ground*.

*Exception: If the priest or caretaker of a holy site is a Sinner, their taint corrupts the holiness of the location. Tainted holy ground is fair game.

Skills:
Sorcerer

Weaknesses:

Borrowed/Limited Magic: Jonah was not born with the ability to use or wield magic. The fact that he is able to use magic at all is a result of the uneasy relationship that he has with the demon Ulkar. By performing blood rituals under the alias of 'Warlock' in secret, Jonah ritually kills a living creature (Currently a small rat or a rabbit) in exchange for a limited amount of magical power. The biggest the sacrifice, the more magical energy Jonah would get pumped into his reserves and the stronger his magic would become. Because of this arrangement, Jonah has to be mindful of his magic reserves since they don't replenish themselves and he has a set limit to them.

Arcane Withdrawal: If Jonah runs out of magic and fails to replenish his supply of it within at least twelve hours of running out, he will begin to show early signs of withdrawal. Over time if he continues to fail to pump fresh magic into his body they will start to get worse.

Possession by Ulkar: Part of the... arrangement with Ulkar was that should Jonah ever be in a situation in which he is on the verge of death, the demon would posses his body and deal with the threat himself in exchange for the souls of those he killed during his time on earth through Jonah. While Ulkar's possession insanely increases Jonah's magical powers and regeneration abilities to the point that he is next to impossible to kill by mortal means, Jonah's mind and soul are sealed inside his body as Ulkar releases his powers onto the field of battle and beyond. Targeting friend, foe and bystanders alike, Ulkar will brutally and sadistically murder each and everyone of them for his personal amusement before consuming the souls of his victims as payment for saving his thrall's life. While the Possession only lasts so long, this is more out of Ulkar's own personal agenda then caring for the well being of Jonah.

Random effects: There is a one in ten chance that Jonah's spells will have a second, unexpected and rarely helpful side effect. These can range from local rains of blood, his spell doing more harm then good and everyone in the area suddenly standing knee deep in cute little bunnies. The effects are completely random and should be watched out for with care.

Equipment:
At all times, Jonah will have a small series of necklaces and other trinkets on his person that are magical in nature. If asked, he will answer that they are there to help him control his magic. In truth, they are enchanted to prevent demonic possession. He wears them in order to create a barrier in order to try and prevent Ulkar or any other demon from taking him over.

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===

Personality:
While he tries to hide it behind a calm facade, anyone who makes the effort to get to know Jonah would be able to tell that there are scars in his past that haunt him to this day. Still, that guilt seems to drive him towards ensuring that his new allies are looked after and kept safe to the best of his abilities.

If encountered as 'Warlock' however, he would be next to impossible to read due to the nature of the outfit. The mask and the robes makes it impossible to see his features or even tell his body type.

Strengths:
Rich with intention of turning it into wealth.
Arcane Knowledge

Interests/Habits:
Jonah seeks out knowledge of the Arcane for personal insight into his gifts and the nature of his... benefactor.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Family Members: All deceased. Doesn't like to speak about it.
Place of Origin: Melbourne, Australia
Current City: Wherever he currently is.
History:

Jonah Orian was born in the city of Melbourne to John Orian and Adora Orian. The youngest of four children, Jonah's childhood years are not really worth mentioning. They have little impact on his life anymore, but he had been a B student who had difficultly meeting new people but he had been easy enough to get along with. If asked about it, he would honestly say that he had been lucky to have such a wonderful childhood.

When Jonah was seventeen, the neighborhood that he and his parents lived in became infested by drug users and dealers due to a small time drug gang that set themselves up in a house at the end of the street. Aware of how the presence of such people was causing his parents and sisters a great deal of concern, Jonah longed to be like the super heroes he had grown up hearing about but was aware that he was kind of missing the powers needed for such a task. Slowly sinking into depression at how useless he was, Jonah began to withdraw from his friends and family.

While on his own one night, he started to hear the whispers of an unknown voice of a being that called itself Ulkar. Exactly what they talked about only Jonah and Ulkar know but the end result was that Ulkar offered to grant Jonah magical abilities for free. No Price had to be paid and he could do with his abilities what he saw fit. Believing that he was making a good deal and blinded by his desire to be the hero he had always wanted to be, Jonah accepted. Overcome by the strength of the magical energy that he had been infused with, Jonah managed to sneak out of the house and calmly walked up to the drug house that had been causing all the problems.

Despite the influx of raw magical power that had flooded Jonah's system, he remained surprisingly level headed. All he wanted to do was drive the drug makers and dealers out of his neighborhood no more no less. He didn't want to kill anyone. In the ensuring display of sheer magical power, while the building and the drugs themselves were completely destroyed in a firestorm the people themselves were spared and fled the scene in utter terror. Believing himself victorious, Jonah returned home in the confusion. Overjoyed that the drug dealers were gone, his parents invited his older sisters back home in order to celebrate.

Unknown to Jonah, the drug dealers that he had driven off reported back to their boss who was rather upset by the turn of events. Within days, they had discovered who had destroyed their operation and where they lived.

During the small family gathering in which Jonah and his family were celebrating the fact that they no longer had to fear their home getting broken into by drug users, a heavily armed team of thugs and killers burst into Jonah's home and laid waste to everyone inside. As he laid on the ground dying, Jonah was consumed by regret and guilt that his actions had ended not only his own life but the lives of his loved ones. Taking advantage of Jonah's weakened state, Ulkar possessed his body in order to safe guard his investment as well as collect his dues. Ulkar sadistically slaughtered every single living creature in the house, devouring the souls of not just the drug dealers but also of Jonah's dying family members. When the police arrived shortly afterward, they came across a scene of insane blood and carnage. In the middle of it they discovered Jonah, his arms wrapped around his knees in a state of silent shock but perfectly healthy.

Place inside an asylum for treatment, it would be over a year before Jonah was able to bring himself to speak to another human being. He would remained under the care of the doctors of the mental hospital for a further two years on suicide watch, since despite Jonah making it clear that he didn't remember anything after the bullets started to fly he blamed himself for provoking the attack by 'throwing a rock at the window of the drug house'. Jonah felt the need to lie about the full extent of how the events came about alongside just how he was still alive.

When he was judged mentally fit enough to be released back into society, one of the first things that Jonah did was sacrifice a rabbit in order to restore his magic. Ulkar had been leaking just enough magic into Jonah over his three years in the mental hospital in order to get his body dependent on the stuff by claiming it was payment for the souls he had been able to claim during the massacre. No longer suffering from withdrawal but much weaker then he had been from the free sample, Jonah planned for the future. His families life insurance policies gave him an insanely large amount of money. After visiting their graves for the first and only time, Jonah made the journey to the United States. The Australian Dollar was high in the exchange rate and stuff was cheaper in the US.

He also wanted to join one of the hero teams in order to use his gifts to help others in order to redeem himself for his foolish mistake that cost him so dearly.

BAM!
