Fear and Loathing in New York City
The Afterglow..A steaming cup of Mushroom tea , a postage stamp with the face of Obama dipped in LSD , and a bump of Ketamine made the street lights of the City that Never Sleeps drip like water colors on a fresh canvas as Ambrose stumbled from the loft party during the witching hour. With every step the young rebellious teenager took his surroundings began to fold into each other while simultaneously producing vibrant hues of vibrating vivid colors that he had not known to exist. He could hear himself talking but couldn't feel his lips moving. He could feel himself walking but had no sense of direction.
The streets where almost empty except for the scavengers and night dwellers who seemed malicious to the hyper-sensitive boy who walked with no cadence down a pissy concrete alley. He wasn't sure how he made it so far while under the influence of psychoactive drugs raging through his mind , but continued on anyway until he felt an unwelcoming aura shadow over his own. To Ambrose the enigma of a person was merely a figment of his imagination but the sound of a gun going off coupled with the weird sensation of a bullet beginning to pierce through his chest let him know otherwise.
A rush of euphoria unmatched by any drug surged from the pineal gland , a release of dimetheyltriptamine exploded from the teenagers brain in the few seconds between the hot lead fragmenting his diaphragm and what most humans called death. In the last moments of inhaling oxygen he was rocketed through a time stream of his previous years. He was reliving the scenes of his short existence as if he was on the set of a movie. Nostalgia swept over him as he flew through the aisles of his memory banks and he could feel the pain of being torn from his physical existence like a rope of heavenly matter yanked him from his fragile shell. Soon he realized that he was watching his body lying on the ground in the grimy alley of New York City while a fiend of a man rummaged through his clothes for anything of value , kicking at the dead boy after finding nothing but an IPhone and a metro card.
Book of Knowledge
Meeting the SandmanSeconds later he was catapulting through what seemed to be a portal of flying colors at speeds indescribable by human measures , a world he only had a taste of when he indulged on psychedelics during his frequent binges. As he looked around he could not see himself until he reached his destination; a dark realm of abstract constructs made from ethereal mist . Towering over his astral ghost form was a being unlike anything he had seen before . Though it's shape was humanoid it was completely translucent and spoke with the what seemed like the voice of Lucifer himself as it greeted him with a maniacal laugh that made Ambrose's spirit drift backwards.
"Hahahahahahaha! Certainly this is a joke. Not once since the inception of Sister Time's reign of the terra-physical realms has a human been able to successfully traverse the dreamscapes and enter my dimension!" the deity spoke and so did the entire plane of reality , booming with a sort of melodic crystal tune as the words reached Ambrose. He remained puzzled and silent as the being swirled around him as if preforming an inspection that looked through the depths of Ambrose's very soul. It spoke again when it completed its 360 degree tour of the floating spirit.
"So you have finally come! The One who is said to understand the language of those who create life and rule all planes of existence , then use our knowledge to ignite the chaos engines ! "
"I...I...I don't know what your talking about...." Ambrose stuttered as he tried to comprehend what the crazed deity ranted about. "I was just...murdered in cold bold...or...at least I think I was...God , I'm never doing drugs again..this is unreal!"
"HA! God!? Unreal!? You are truly using terms loosely boy. You are the Agent of Evolutionary Surge, you are the Prophet of Ascension! It is you who will lead the Earth to becoming the Mothership that will traverse all realities , all dimensions , all universes! That is if and only if you can decipher the gift I bestow upon you. The Book of Knowledge !" The deity vanished and returned all in an instant and it was now holding a golden book. " You will have no help from me. It is your duty alone to find out why you have been chosen and what exactly you must do. Though I will guide you in the right direction before you go. Only when you have become the greatest Wizard to live in the history of man will you fully grasp the words I have spoken."
Back from the DeadWith that Ambrose was gone from the Sandman's realm in a blinding flash of light followed by pure blackness. He was somehow back in his body,unbelievably cold with a book resting on his chest and only when his eyes adjusted to the dark could he see light peaking through his rectangular confinement. The lack of air crept up on him and his claustrophobia tried to paralyze him but he could feel a difference in his anatomy. He was somehow different...stronger.. and he would need to escape the cold metal box if he wanted to find out how exactly . He violently kicked open the box and thrusted himself forward and found himself in the coroners office...

Magic -
"The Book of Knowledge has revealed to me many secrets." - Ambrose Young
In the psychedelic dreamworld that Ambrose fell into, which inadvertently activated his latent mutant powers he came across a mysterious and crazed entity known as the Sandman who praised him as being the only person to have ever entered his realm. As a reward he entrusted the floating astral projection of Ambrose with a Book of spells that would make him perhaps one of the greatest mage to ever live if he could figure out how to read it. The Young Wizard's mutant ability of omnilingual proportion allowed him to read the first few pages and master a few basic spells. In order for the other pages to show he must prove his worth by constantly reciting arcane dialect in heavy meditative states. He has yet to show the patience for such adept magic use.
WindowsWindows to the World (Vernexus Shifteros) : A basic teleportation technique that allows him to move rapidly through an "window" of magic energies that send him to any destination he wishes; near of far.
Puppeteers Bebop (Orphicus Melodicen) : A strange spell that instantly hypnotizes anyone who hears the soft jazz like tunes , and turns them into puppets who are then under the control of Ambrose . The weak minded are helpless while those with willpower and strong minds are able to resist the effect with ease.
Power StonesGemstones (Prismus Lethalikyn) : This spell varies on the particular rare stone in Ambrose's possession at the time but when holding a precious stone it grants him various powers when he initiates the spell. Ruby gemstones grant him the mastery of the fire element , Sapphire allows him to summon and bend at will bodies of water along with manipulation of electricity, Emerald allows him to manipulate plant-life and the winds , Diamond allows him to control the earths crust and with slight influence of the magnetic fields.
Soul Touch ( Animus Vecronit) : Ambrose has learned how to give life to and animate objects , paintings, or sculptures so that they may aid him in endeavors when needed though some animations develop minds of their own and do not obey him.
