The Doctor

Created 1985 by Patric L. Rogers

Background: The Doctor has a mysterious background. It is known that he is a recognized and licensed financial analyst, and that he is extremely wealthy. He also appears to be something of a worldly playboy, with an extensive knowledge of both armed combat and thaumatergy.

Personality/Motivation: The Doctor is friendly and outgoing. He also tends to be an overconfident maverick. He keeps his cool under pressure, carefully thinking things through. He claims to be motivated by a sense of adventure, but the truth is more subtle: he has a deep sense of responsibility toward protecting the Earth and its inhabitants from threats, both other-worldly and extra-dimensional.

Quote: "Magic is the lifeblood of the universe. Anyone up for the theatre tonight?"

Powers/Tactics: The Doctor has an extensive background in magic and thaumaturgy and this gives him a powerful arsenal of magic spells and effects to draw upon. Unfortunately, he is limited by his human endurance and limitations, so he supplements himself with body armor and a 9mm pistol. He has found both to be valuable assets confronting magical foes, as they are often ill prepared for such mundane equipment.

He tries to keep his cool at all times. This is not to say he does not show emotion; on the contrary he enjoys displaying his emotions, but they are rarely strong emotions. He battles defensively, seeking cover than providing support to his allies, many of whom are better prepared for combat than he is.

Appearance: The Doctor is an athletic Caucasian man in his late 30's. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He stands 5'11" tall, and has a neatly trimmed goatee and mustache.

Campaign Use: As an NPC, the Doctor could appear as a super-team sponsor, fellow mystic, or even be encountered in his business dealings.
