Other

Personality

Seen It All - It is hard to genuinely get a reaction of shock or surprise out of him, and the last person to do so was none other than Alice Wonderland. Otherwise he plays along and pretends to have a reaction.

Eerie Serenity - Isaac stays calm no matter how tough things are, or what goes wrong. He could sleep soundly through a thunderstorm and wake up refreshed.

Smile Away - An habit mostly picked by his Mad Hatter persona, but that he incorporates in his daily life. When things starts troubling him, he just keeps smiling away the problems while working on a solution.


Additional Information
Isaac frequently displays genuine interest in the supernatural that he hasn’t seen yet, and sometimes on what he has seen already, but always in a passive manner (observing, remarking something, jotting notes...). Has a liking for food of strong flavor, particularly spicy, but doesn’t overdo, and is a moderate drinker who is aware of his limits. Yet, always expect him to have a coffee mug or teacup nearby.

Abilities

Ability Format
Spellcasting

Spellcasting
Sensation-Inducing Tea Enchantment - Isaac can infuse any tea he brews or serves to induce a sensation or emotion. Cannot be used for physical harm.
  • Incantation - He is required to whispers to the teapot, teacup, glass or mug what he wants the drinkers to feel when he says a certain word. Example: "If I say the word "calm", whoever drinks you will feel calmness"

Core Advantage
Man of a Thousand and One Faces - Isaac has the ability to change his appearance and voice with ease, but hardly people take it as supernatural, even though the reality of this ability is in great part supernatural.

Any voice he has heard at least once, creating new voices according to his needs, changing himself to look like a supernatural creature, or just changing the color of his hair, wearing different clothes, etc… Appearance changes often can come out by being removed as if it were a costume or mask, but said mask or costume vanishes from existence when nobody's looking.

Logically, the limitations are that he cannot replicate abilities nor extreme traits, with certain posture changes or apparel can make himself up to two feet shorter or tall.

Sleepers will always believe he is just that good at quickly changing clothes or that he used one's brief distraction to put things on piece by piece.

The half mask he is always wearing is part of this ability.
Bonus
  • (Initial Bonus) Brilliant’s Craftsman - Isaac is talented in crafting in general, ever since he was a child, having displayed the ability to make quality props, masks and costumes in a short notice, provided he has access to material and a sufficient time to.

Current Situation

Occupation
Wonder Gates' employee, aspiring entertainer.
Housing
Owns a two-story house with a garage in Polaris Pass's Residential.
Wealth
Has a small fortune inherited from the (illegal) business of his grandfather.

History

Date of Birth
October 6th, 2000.
Place of Birth
Pennsylvania, USA.
A long time ago, Massimo Steel (alias, real name unknown), grandfather of Isaac, was a renowned con artist, only people deep into the crime life knew how to contact him for their numerous scam crimes, or for forgery. For a long time, he had many wives and partners in crime, never stuck with any. Eventually, he had a son named Theodore and abandoned his crime life, but still made himself an “invisible man”, vanishing in the States.

Theodore found himself in a normal life for long, and even had a son named Isaac Steel. But eventually Isaac found himself in need of a heart surgery and they didn’t have the funds for that. Luckily, Massimo heard whispers of that and arranged Isaac to inherit a small part of his fortune in a hurry, alongside an enchanted pocket watch to pass on his special art to little Isaac.

Isaac has been saved, the pocket watch now lost its magic, but not without his parents having to deal with a lot of trouble, especially with the authorities investigating his grandfather, and con artists trying to play them all for a fool to get their hands on the riches. Once he had matured, he fled to Polaris Pass with what he inherited and bought a house, renting it for a couple of tenants studying there.
