Character portrait:

*Name: Tal Sopher
*Age: 26
*Height: 6'1"
*Race: Half Metahuman, Half Witch // Half Chinese, Half Jewish
*Allegiance: Circle of Heroes, back at his home
*Alignment: Lawful Good
*Eye colour: Formerly brown, but now constantly a glowing Orange. Glows brighter when powers are in use.
*Hair colour: Dark Brown
Personality: Brash (but not as much as he used to be a few years ago), incredibly outspoken still, and always resilient. He believes there's nothing he can't do, and has come close to death many a time because of that attitude. A little bit of a proud showoff,
Abilities:
Light Generation/Control: Can create balls of light to light up the dark. In its natural state, the light is neither warming or destructive.
Reality Augmentation/SpellCrafting: Tal is now able to use the full potential of his abilities--the perfect blend of magic and innate metahuman abilities. While still reliant on symbol-based casting, Tal can now engage existing symbols to cast or create them without drawing (though drawing is sometimes preferrable when faster or he cannot see where he can generate a symbol made out of light). He can now "brand" himself and others with abilities and enhancements as well, though they are not permanent.
WItchcraft: Becoming more engaged than he ever was, Tal was taught some witch craft and standard spell casting from his mother. Though most of his spell casting is done through his symobls, Tal is able to make some potions (if he looked in his little cheatbook) and very minor spells from vocal spells.
Biography:
The third (and consequently middle) child of the Sopher family in Capitol City, Tal was supposed to be born to be great. However, things didn't plan out. While his two older siblings protected New Century city with their A-Class powers as masked heroes, and his two younger sisters preparing to do the same, Tal was just...Tal. His powers (classified as D-class energy projection) manifested far too late for him to go to the great Academy--he couldn't even join a junior hero team. Despite figuring out a way for his powers to be even a slight useful to the city, he couldn't find any place to be a hero.
During a mission in the Border Forts , he was given an injection to save his life as well as drain his power remotely to restore the life of William Ladd's sister. He was drained of power almost completely when William Ladd, who has befriended Tal, had a change of mind. His former girlfriend and magical researcher who had been helping him, Gemma Storm, didn't want to turn back and in a fit of rage, killed William and fled.
His powers returned, and surprisingly, he is now at his full potential and no longer stifled, but is connected to Agnes Ladd magically and telepathically. After the events of Chapter 2, he had returned home to Capitol City with his powers and helped Agnes become whole again.
Notes:
-Only 3 years have passed when Tal and Agnes went back to his dimension.
-Tal became a full-fledged hero after recounting his tales of Arcadia
-Tal's became engaged to long time, on-and-off-again, boyfriend Simon Ecchols, another hero.
-Agnes was enrolled in school to complete her education.
-Tal, not knowing the time flow difference of the two dimensions, goes back in an effort to create a compendium of the world as requested by the Circle of Heroes.
-Tal has a myriad of hero uniforms. Now that he has willingly come back, he has brought in an entire new wardrobe, but is still respectful of his status as a hero.
