character information ● name: Stephen Vincent Strange ● canon: Marvel 616 ● canon point: Immediately following the Empirikul’s assault on the Sanctum Sanctorum when he and his fellow mystics were captured. ● age: Looks to be in his mid 40’s, if going by linear time from his birth to present he’d be considered 86. However due to time-related shenanigans that he has no recollection of his actual age is much older by at least 5,000 years or more.
● abilities: While at this canon point Stephen’s abilities have been extremely limited due to the destruction of so much of Earth’s magic, the man is still a very skilled mystic, able to take on threats even in this reduced state. He uses what he can, enchanted weapons and artifacts, and still has a few smaller spells available to him. In a place with magical energy to tap into, he has the ability and know-how to start creating new spells. He seems to still have the ability to pull some items out of nothing, such as weapons, also retains his ability to view and travel through the astral plane.
● strengths: Intelligence: One thing that has always been true about Stephen is that he’s wickedly bright. Give him a problem and he’ll find several different ways to solve it, at least two impossible ones, which he’ll certainly figure out a way to pull off. He’s learned over the years how to use his intelligence as a weapon in and of itself, proving it many times that even when unable to access magic, he can still solve a problem with wits and words. In fact sometimes he prefers it, though whether that’s a question of self-control or challenging himself depends on the situation. Morality: For all Stephen is a prickly asshole, he has a distinct sense of right and wrong that he is especially stubborn about keeping himself in the bounds of, as well as a responsibility in how he uses his powers. Much of it is derived from what was expected of him as a surgeon, explaining his dislike of taking a life even when it came to enemies. To protect those he considered under his care, to protect innocents. Even in the middle of a fight he feels a duty as a doctor to stop and assist the injured however he can. Stubborn: Stephen is stubborn enough to simply batter his way through challenges that should be beyond his skill to handle, to the point where he is only still going because nothing is enough to make him stop. It means that he often is able to handle threats that otherwise should be able to make quick work of him simply on account of his unwillingness to simply lay down and die. And while he may not have the nicest way of it, it means he’s very good at encouraging others to continue on as well when he finds he has need to.
● weaknesses: Pride: He’s the best at what he does, typically the smartest man in the room at any given time, and well aware of it. This makes it difficult for him to work with others, to put his trust in anyone. It can also make him even more self-destructive than normal, in attempts to take down threats that are far beyond what he can handle alone. It means when he fails that he feels it keenly- in his mind he should have been better able to handle the situation rather than making whatever perceived mistake allowed things to spiral out of control. Stubborn: This trait can cause Stephen to follow a line of inquiry or a plan to a point that it becomes frankly self-destructive. It often manifests in his sense of duty, causing him to be more reckless, take bigger risks and endure trauma that might otherwise be avoided if he gave even a little on his stance, his belief in his own responsibility for the magical threats that crop up around him. It makes him intractable and at his worst, willing to go to some frankly unpleasant ends to see things through, no matter what anyone around him may think. Temper: While he’s gotten better at controlling it, Stephen still has a vicious temper, and when roused it can at times eclipse the better person he tries to be. It tends to come out as lashing out verbally, becoming an even bigger asshole as if to blind others to whatever might have caused him to become upset in the first place, to hide the chinks in his proverbial armor. If pushed far enough he isn’t afraid to lash out physically as well for all that tends not to end well for him.
● skills (optional): Doctor Strange has a variety of other skills aside from magic, such as his knowledge and skill with neurosurgery. While he cannot perform that surgery any more, he could offer advice and instruction to another doctor, and he can still perform other medical duties where his hands might not be such a liability, such as the duties of a field medic. While he might not be physically as strong as others due to the intense toll magic takes on him, he’s surprisingly athletic and thanks to Wong’s tutelage is a fair martial artist. He’s also at least conversationally fluent as well as able to read in a variety of languages including quite a few ‘dead’ languages from his continued mystical studies.
● housing (optional): The closer he gets put to Tony Stark the more exasperated he’ll be, and the more I’ll laugh about it.

[Stephen was more focused on the black cloak sitting around his shoulders than the phone that had fallen out of his pocket, or that it was even on in the first place. Plucking up the edge of the cloak, frowning at the silvery border with brows furrowing.]

Maybe this would work out.]
That wasn’t so hard now was it? [He barely was able to finish talking before the cloak shifted again, because apparently in it’s mind Stephen wasn’t protected enough, black fabric wrapping around him like a demented hug.
He cursed, muffled but loud , stumbling back and tripping over the edge of the rug, landing on his backside with a loud thud. It took a few moments of struggle before he could work a hand free enough to pull cloth away from his face, and good god but if looks could kill that cloak would be a bare cinder.]
