Zatan has a short boxed beard style.<br/><strong>General Appearance:</strong>Zatan has two personas that impact his appearance. While not on stage or serving the community, Zatan wears casual, contemporary clothing. He can most often be found in a pair of jeans, sweatshirt, and runners. Most often these are in a shade of black. The color is highly influenced by growing up in New York.<br/><br/>When either on stage or serving in an official capacity with law enforcement Zatan, is more reminiscent of a modern, edgy, street magician. Gone are the black suit, bow tie and top hat of early magicians like his father. These outdated vestiges have been replaced by a black hoodie, black jeans, and a black vest.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Personality and History</span></strong></span></div><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span></strong> </div>Zatan is a happy go lucky kind of guy that likes to laugh and overall has a pragmatic optimistic point of view. He likes to see a glass half full, but he doesn’t use rose tinted glasses to do it. Above all else, Zatan is a showman who frequently works on stage as a magician and illusionist and as such has the ability to capture attention with a flamboyant presence. This is merely a stage presence to make sure the bills are paid.<br/><br/>Off the stage Zatan is more introverted and gets his energy from the peacefulness of being alone. The sorcerer is easy to get along with and has few battles with others that might be more difficult for others to be around. He is slow to anger, but has a line over which he can cross and the temper flares.<br/><br/>Zatan recognizes when he is wrong and is not afraid to apologize. At the same time, he is not one to shy away from making his point known in decision making.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Biography</span></strong></div>Zatan is the child of John Zatara and Sindella (a magical species known as Homo Magi). Upon his birth, Zatan’s mother returned to be with her people and he was raised in New York by his father. Zatan followed in his father’s footsteps and became a successful stage magician using illusion to awe audiences. He only discovered his true powers when searching for his father. A particularly occult case left local law enforcement baffled and they reached out to Zatan as an expert on the occult. Zatan discovered his powers while being transported to the mystical world of Kharma.<br/><br/>Zatan continued as a stage magician while being called upon when mystical or occult forces vexed some of Earth’s brightest investigators. Upon seeing the potential, Zatan continued to work under the table with law enforcement including Interpol, the FBI, the CIA and local police in New York. Zatan finds it difficult to practice his prestidigitation as a state magician due to his commitments to fighting crime.<br/><br/>During one particularly ethical battle, Zatan used his magic to alter a memory of a double agent that had plans to unleash a biological contaminant in the DC water supply. To this day he regrets using forcing his will and using powers in this manner and has vowed to not manipulate a mind in the same way in the future.<br/><br/>While still young, Zatan is one of the world’s most powerful magic users and is an inductee into the Sentinels of Magic. Zatan is uncertain about this title and as such has put self-imposed limits to his magic using.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br/></div><strong>Power Name:</strong>Zatan has the ability to manipulate magic including: elemental control, telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, levitation, dimensional travel, reality alteration, antipathy, deflection, chronokinesis, weather manipulation, eldritch blast, energy construct creation, energy transference, force field, healing, phasing, size alteration, and transformation. In addition to magic Zatan has skills in prestidigitation, hypnosis, meditation, astral projection, hand-to-hand combat, and occultism.<br/><br/>While not an inherent power, Zatan can backward speak (used in casting spells).<br/><br/><strong>Equipment Name:</strong>Magic Wand – Zatan is rarely without his magic wand which is concealed on his body. It is not vital to cast spells using it, though he does have some magic stored within it should the need arise (see weakness below).<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br/></div>Zatan casts spells using mnemonic incantation – words that are said backwards. While this is one of the most difficult and powerful forms of magic, it requires Zatan to have use of his voice. Without the ability to speak (even at a whisper), Zatan must rely solely on stored magic which is much weaker than active magic.<br/><br/>Due to his maternal lineage, Zatan is vulnerable to defenses against magical beings such as protective enchantments, charms and hexes.<br/><br/>Zatan can deplete his magic ability in the same way a fighter would tire after continuous battle. Once the magic is depleted Zatan can be anywhere from exhausted to passed out.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span></span><br/></div>Zatan is not in a relationship and is cautiously exploring his own sexuality.<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/bc/Zatan2.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/5/52/Zatan4.jpg/800px-Zatan4.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/0/00/Zatan3.jpg/449px-Zatan3.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/0/03/Zatan5.jpg/800px-Zatan5.jpg)</div>
