Info post: power and Skills
Powers: Harry’s a wizard so magic is his shtick. His magic is the culmination of intense focus, will and belief fuelled by emotion. He lacks the focus to be delicate and as such tends to wield magic as a more blunt force weapon. It can get tiring really fast if he’s not careful.
Skills
Harry’s mind is his greatest asset. Through his focus he’s able to Listen, essentially blocking out excess noise to extend his hearing. Very intelligent and well trained in observation; he often catches details others would miss and making connections. Over time he’s become skilled at coming up with plans (and at least one contingency) on the fly and has a knack for coming up with creative solutions to his problems, whether in a moment of peace of while running away from the latest bad guy after him. As a fully licensed Private Detective, Harry has thorough knowledge of legal systems, psychology, investigation methods and procedures and the supernatural.
Taking advantage of his long legs, Harry’s taken up jogging so that when he needs to run, he can run fast. Over time he’s gained a surprising amount of agility. While no expert he has in recent years taken some training in martial arts, Aikido specifically, and has vast amounts of experience in brawling and can definitely hold is own in a fist fight. He knows how to use a gun and is an above average shot and has experience in wielding a sword or a staff both as a physical weapon and as a magical tool.
Harry has an extraordinary amount of endurance, whether this is due to magic or just pure stubborn Harry, this allows him to continue
on in the face of hunger, sleep deprivation, exhaustion and pain. The man can take a serious beating and keep going, but not forever; he can and will succumb to his injuries.
Powers
Harry is a Wizard and as such can manipulate and generate magic for use. He’s got a knack for tracking spells and can find just about
anything within the range of a city provided he has what he needs to do so. He also has developed the skills and focus necessary to create stable veils to hide his self from sight.
Also, as a Wizard he has some biological differences from humans; a longer life span, highly efficient cell reproduction and greatly improved long term healing process and using magic. Aside from that, they’re perfectly ordinary humans. By the effort of his mother,
Harry was born under fairly prestigious signs that allow for his great potential and his ability to destroy or banish outsiders,
extraordinarily powerful beings that exist beyond normal reality and have immunity to the physical and mortal.
He also has Wizards Sight, which allows him to strip away illusions and see the true nature of things and places beneath, though it’s often very metaphoric and requires some interpretation. This is an ability that comes with risk, as whatever is seen is fully experiences and can and will never be forgotten. All it takes is a glimpse of something terrible to drive one mad.
An extension of this is the Soul Gaze. When looking into the eyes of another living being (that of the physical mortal world) provokes a
vision in which both parties see the soul of the other. As with the Sight, the vision is often metaphoric in nature and lasts forever in
memory. However it is a one time thing. Once it happens with someone, itnever happens again.
He’s also a powerful conjuror and whether with bare hands of the use of foci such as his staff, can wield fire, wind and force to a devastating degree. Equipped with a vast amount of raw power the amount of damage he can cause is extreme. To sum up he can
generate enough fire to destroy a building, reanimate the bones of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, unleash the spirits of victims upon their vampiric
murderer and summon and hold a powerful elemental being. He’s also through his shield bracelet capable of forming a powerful domed shield that stands against physical and elemental force. Energy not so much.
Harryis also capable of brewing potions that give him a desired effect for a limited time, such as allowing movement through solid objects or allowing him to literally blend in and pass beneath notice.
Recently, Harry gained the ability to generate Soulfire, the fire of creation by the Archangel Uriel. Souldfire supercharges his magic and brings it further into the physical work, increasing its effects. If generated enough it may manifest as a silvery representation of will, such as a hand. It still comes with a price; using soul fire uses a portion of Harry’s soul. Use too much and Harry dies. However, the soul can
regenerate rather quickly through joy and contentment.
As a Knight of the Winter Court, Harry has great command over ice and cold and added strength and magical power. He also has additional authority in regards to Fae of Winter. This can translate to greater authority over all in regards to magical and spiritual beings.
In the case of defeat, Harry has one final trick. The Death Curse. Upon their death a wizard may cast a final curse upon their enemy, one that consumes the last of their life force. This curse is irreversible and unavoidable.
In regards to technology... Magic and sufficiently advanced technology does not get along well. Pretty much anything made post the 1950’s
fritzes and eventually dies when he’s around. This is something that can be focused and used with ease and temporarily suppressed with great difficulty. In regards to the communication devices I’m going to assume they run on magic.
Here I’d like to make a brief note on his foci. Harry carries with him a Silver Pentacle Necklace that acts as a symbol of faith, sets of rings
on his right hand that gather, contain and unleash kinetic force, a shield bracelet on his left wrist that focuses his magic into a barrier
and his staff and blasting rod. These take time and concentration to create and help aid and focus his magic.
Currently, Harry only has his pentacle and rings.
