Name: Theo Darkfire
Race: Human?
Gender: Male.
Ethnicity: Caucasian if human, Moon Elven if elf, Menzoberranzan if drow, lol, just ask when appropriate.
Type of Entity: Lesser deity who occasionally creates avatars to act as his eyes ears and hands within the realms and beyond.
Height: 5'9" if human, 4'11" if elven or drow, again, ask when appropriate.
Age: 400+ years by earth standards. About 33 earth years for his most recent avatar. (Mind you, their age can be accelerated.)
Hair: Auburn if human, Pure silver if elven or drow, yet again, ask when appropriate.
Eye Color: As random as the day of the week, although it is often emerald green.
Weapons/Armor: Always, Theo is seen with a sorcerous cloak, and an obviously magical longsword at his belt. Sometimes he is seen with his magical skull mask, sometimes not. Sometimes he is seen with many magical rings as well, but at other times is seen with none. Occasionally he is seen with a magical wand or two, and in light but exquisitely made armor. Most of the time, however, he is seen in simple traveler's wardrobe with just the cape and the sword, although the cape may hide the sword if one is not specifically looking for it. Somehow, he always seems able to bring out a magical backpack if the need arises, which caries most of his actual gear, magical or mundane, and somehow bending the rules of what should actually fit within it. Perhaps the cloak hides it.
Powers/gifts/forms: Mostly related to Fire, Electricity, Force, Transmutation, and Teleportation, and most often appearing as a human, elf, drow, centaur, titan, dragonne, elvish vampire, archon, angel, displacer beast, fire elemental, false liche, were-creature, mind flayer, satyr, shadow, treant, or troll, this still does not cover the full gamut of Theo's powers and forms, but realize that he is an old sorcerer with an even greater understanding of what's going on around him, and that although he may be kind, he does not bow to those he does not respect, nor will he ever give up a fight once started.
Theo Darkfire is a Fire/Necromancy/Nature sorcerer who may appear in many different guises, although always male if the species has genders. Through his many adventures, mostly with the Company of Autumn, he has gained the favor of the gods and goddesses, and many extraplanar entities. As such, he has the powers of a lesser deity, and grants spells and powers to his followers. He also has gained status as a Fire Elemental. Most of his favorite spells and powers deal with fire, necromancy, force, electricity, transformation, and the direct manipulation of space/time.
He can best be described as ranging from Chaotic Neutral to Neutral Good, depending upon his mood, but he always maintains an aspect of neutrality and championing the underdog. Theo also considers himself an underling of the goddess Mystra (the goddess of Magic), although their relationship is mostly from a distance, as Theo gets way too involved in his missions to leave the main realm for long. Due to having had many reincarnations and even more plentiful transformations, Theo can appear as anything from a human to an elf to an elvish vampire to a giant to a dragonne (half dragon/ half lion) to a Hound Archon or Solar Angel, and plenty of others.
Forewarning for those seeking to work with Theo: he tends to put the success of the mission above the comfort of individual teammates, including himself, and will have no qualms about performing maneuvers or spells that may cause serious harm to any comrades that may be caught in the blast. Although, he usually has a reincarnation spell and permanent polymorph spell handy for afterwards, for when he miscalculates his comrades' constitution and reflexes, some entities may not appreciate this "rough treatment." His Darkfire elemental familiar seems to feel the same as Theo himself, although its own attacks rarely affect more than a single entity.
Also, Theo's Fire and Necromancy and other spells do not always appear to be the spells they really are. Often they appear as "Darkfire," an admixture of mostly violet flames and skulls mixed with blue flames and green flames. Even his "Delayed-Blast Fireball" can confuse other magic users until it's too late, often meaning the opposing magic user can't counterspell them. Often using timestop, dimension door, mirror image, and teleport spells, it is often difficult to tell where Theo's true avatar is at any given moment, much less where the next blast will come from. Having made friends with humans, elves, dwarves, druids, and some splinter groups of drow, Theo has many friends and worshipers across the continents. His clerics often will find themselves blessed with only a single type of his magical affinities, however, and therefore usually work in groups of 4 or 5. Those clerics are especially powerful with that branch of magic, however, and are to be considered masters of whichever art they were blessed with. Those among Theo's clerics that are blessed with multiple types of his favored magics are to be considered extremely dangerous, for each of their magics has the same boosted power as the others.
Theo is well known both for his fickle attitude and his absolute devotion to ideals, as a former follower of Sune, the goddess of beauty. Given new information, he immediately reassesses the entirety of the mission and it's goals. Although he will usually complete a mission even if he doesn't agree with it, if he does have a problem with it, he will usually attempt to twist events to come to benefit what he thinks is right in the long run.
To understand who Theo was before he became immortal, either ask him, or find someone who has lived longer than three centuries and hope that they knew him, or at least heard stories of the Company of Autumn. Last, but not least, Theo rarely intervenes anywhere for any reason except in the form of an Avatar, which although less powerful than his true form, usually has more than enough power to get the job done.
