Name: Isaac Kelvin
Alias:I'll think of something, none for now.
Alignment: House Kelvin and the North American union
Age: 32
Appearance: Isaac is by the far the weakest-looking of the brothers, and the one who takes the most care about his appearance. He is a slender man with flowing golden hair, a clear babyface and blue eyes that seem designed for smiling and laughing. He is always immaculately well-groomed in contrast to his brother Josiah.
Additional physical features:
Personality: In peacetime, Isaac is the friendly face of moderation in what is often a turbulent North American court, coming up with jokes and remarks to calm the situation down. He enjoys a joke, loves a drink and believes that a wild whirlwind romance is one of the alltime great ways to spend your time. For this reason he has delivered the reputation of a playboy who struggles to take things seriously. He is a moderate metahuman supremacist, believing that metahumans have the right to rule. He isn't however someone who believes they have their right to treat regular humans badly or to abuse their privilege.
Abilities:
- tTrue Elemental. Isaac has mastery of the elements of earth, air, fire and water around him, a power he describes as being a 'true' elemental. For this reason he is generally scene as the most powerful in the North American universe, with places to hide out being at a minimum when the Earth could shake and swallow your building, or the forest could set itself on fire around you. His mastery of the air also grants him the power of flight.
Biography: I believe he's covered by Josiah's biography.

Name: Kaisar Fuad Hussain; "Carlo Spazzioli"
Alias: "Neapolitan" (Resistance code-name)
Alignment: House of Hussain (nominally); Resistance
Age: 18
Appearance: WIP
Additional physical features: 189 cm (6'2") tall
Personality: Kaisar is fairly sociable, quite cheerful, and energetic. Despite being the youngest of his siblings, and often overlooked in favor of his brother, he is hardly ambitious. Kaisar has a deep sense of justice, which led to him sympathizing, and later cooperating with the Resistance. Though he acknowledged the Human regimes that came before was not innocent, he viewed the Metahuman-dominated world as the greater evil. He generally dislikes violence - hence only one of his spells is directly offensive - but is not beyond using considerable violence when necessary. Even though all members of the Nusantaran royal house are (nominally) Muslims, Kaisar considered himself irreligious - he was never shy to flaunt it openly (drinking alcohol and eating pork). This has caused him to be reprimanded by Sultan Hussein and his siblings; on one occasion, he was even locked up in his chambers for weeks to "avoid embarassment".

Unlike most Resistance members, he did not join the Resistance because of personal experience - rather it was ideology and sympathy that motivated him to support it. This has caused a lot of disagreement between him and various Resistance commanders, who are radicalized and committed to fight Metahumans to the end. Though eroded by years of experience in combat and politics, he still has a sliver of the childish naivete side of his personality. Occasionally, when he felt disillusioned by the Resistance's actions, this would bolster his faith in the Resistance's cause.

Abilities: Kaisar is a powerful magician, although he preferred the term sorcerer instead. Unlike other forms of magic, sorcerers harnessed their internal eldritch energy, present since their birth, to conjure spells. Spells are drawn with signs rather than omitted, often by hand, though nominally any part of the body can be used. On several occasions, incantations are required to complete the spells. Various objects can be used to channel magical energy - amulets and weapons are prime examples. Several of the most powerful, and most common spells he used included:
  • Conjurer's Bind: A telekinesis spell. Using magic, Kaisar can lift any object up to a thousand times his body weight without touching it. This action requires massive magical energy to perform, though, so he will need time to recharge after using this ability to its fullest potential. He can also apply this to himself, allowing him to levitate - with the major drawback being his legs binded tight, seriously compromising flexibility in the air.
  • Cimaruta: Originally, cimaruta is a charm originating in Southern Italy to ward against dangers. The cimaruta spell allows him to sense other magic users and any acts of magic - even the most discreet and concealed.
  • Ancile: Kaisar could create spells that would summon Ancilia, shields of the Roman god Mars - to protect him or other people he cast the spell upon. The shields are made of magical energy with the density of titanium. Alternatively, ancilia can be used as an offensive weapon if thrown to a target with high velocity.
  • Semeru: Mount Semeru is the largest mountain in Java, which according to myth was slammed by the god Batara Guru upon the island to keep it from floating freely in the ocean. The spell condenses air within a circle, ranging from ten to a hundred metres in diameter, which then could be directed into any object vertically, essentially "slamming" the condensed air like a cannonball. However, this spell is essentially useless in a closed space, since balls of air smaller than a cubic metre cannot be created with the spell.
  • Tingkap: (Malay, lit. "window") A spell to create portals. Anyone can see and speak through the portal, but nothing can physically cross it. The portal can expand as large as his body.
  • Thuận Thiên: Named after the sword of Vietnamese king Lê Lợi, the spell launches a radiant red bolt of magical energy that can wound or kill the target instantly. If shot to any object with sufficient power, it functions like a kinetic tank ammunition - destroying anything in its path.

Biography: Prince Kaisar is, in fact, not Sultan Hussain's grandson; but rather his son. As such, the metahuman abilities present in him is far stronger than any of his "siblings". In 2001, war ravaged the world as Metahumans revolted and seized power. With Europe falling under control of the Morrigan, the European countries' representatives abroad cannot return to their homeland. Some chose to submit to Metahuman rule and returned, while others who remained stayed loyal to the fallen Human nations. One of such were the Italian embassy staff in Singapore, led by Ambassador Piero Spazzioli. He and almost the entire embassy staff died in the Battle of Singapore - where Singaporean metahumans, with help from Hussain, staged a coup that nearly failed and resulted in the island country's near-total destruction, with only half of its population remaining.

Piero's daughter Regina survived the battle, and when Hussain arrived to take control of the country, she became a citizen. With so little infrastructure and so few people remaining, Regina entered the new country's bureaucracy pretty easily - until she caught the attention of Great Nusantara's paramount leader, Ali Sharif Hussein. The two fell in love - but it was a scandal, as Regina was a mundane human and Hussein a powerful metahuman on his way to become the overlord of Southeast Asia, but they can hardly be separated. This affair ended when Regina gave birth to a son. Hussein, fearing repercussions, decided to send her back to Italy, now that the conditions in Europe become stabilized. He would often visit her time to time secretly until her death in 2005. Meanwhile, their son was given to Hussain's own heir Pengiran Mahkota (Crown Prince) Ismail and his wife. Both obviously was outraged by this, but Ismail chose to keep his father's affair a secret and raised his half-brother in his family.

Ismail named the boy Kaisar, after Julius Caesar, a memorial to his mother's homeland. For several years he was a part of the royal household, but Kaisar, unlike his siblings (or rather, nephews), never manifested metahuman abilities. This obviously became a source of concern for him (to make it simple Kaisar will be referred as Ismail's son). Ismail tried to stimulate superhuman abilities in his son - giving him all sorts of things, from ice to candles and even electric sockets, and occassionally daydreaming for a full day in hopes of Kaisar manifesting a telepathic ability (like Hussein's). The metahuman powers never came. So Ismail tried to raise him as normal as possible - with minimal contact with other metahumans - and told his children not to use their abilities in the presence of their youngest sibling.

A massive rebellion in Vietnam occurred in 2006, when members of the Vietnam Communist Party launched a successful coup against a minor Metahuman domain in Hanoi, that soon spiralled into a large revolt that drew thousands of Human fighters across Southeast Asia. Fearing war would erupt again, Ismail sent his family to a fortress occupying the former Grasberg Copper Mine in Papua, but Hussain insisted that Kaisar be sent to Italy to stay with his mother's family. At first Ismail defied this order, but his father argued that it was for the sake of his brother, so he agreed to have Kaisar sent to Naples. Despite the war ending in less than a year (that also resulted with Ismail's death), Kaisar spent about eight years in Naples, living under the name of Carlo Spazzioli. Ismail explained to him that the Spazziolis are distant friends and relatives of his "grandfather".

In Italy, Kaisar lived with the family of his mother - in the house of his uncle, Gianluca. His uncle was once a partner of a Camorra caporegime, and his old acquintances still paid visits sometimes. On one occassion, though, the caporegime took a great interest in him, and asked Gianluca to bring Kaisar with him for a while. Although having no biological metahuman abilities of his own, Kaisar possessed a massive amount magical energy - untrained and untapped, within him. The caporegime, a magic user, sensed this and intended to train him. Kaisar still remembered his words: "It is a sin and a shame that a great potential is allowed to rot." It has been his motivation since then; to learn and explore the depths of magic.

In time, he mastered various spells and became proficient with using magic. Kaisar made his first contact with the Resistance - actually a collection of various groups opposing Metahuman rule - in Italy. One of the Resistance's units was based in Naples, and they required connection with the Camorra to operate effectively. Serving the interests of none but themselves, the Camorra facilitated various needs of the Resistance and the new overlords of Italy both. He began to sympathize with the Resistance, even more when news reached that Europe's metahuman overlords has taken great measures to oppress their population - a massive, bloody purge in France, for example. His uncle Gianluca would tell him tales of how the Metahumans used to be heroes and national symbols.

This sympathy evolved into support when he returned to Southeast Asia. He started to establish relations with various Resistance cells in Southeast Asia, providing them information he obtained through his position. These relations culminated in a system that is called the Bandiera Rossa (Red Flag), a primarily information exchange-focused group of the Resistance. His first combat experience with the Resistance was in the Battle of Darwin; where he slipped away from the Nusantara military base and joined the Resistance in fighting a sortie of Arabian metahumans against the city. Now, even more emboldened, Kaisar is determined to assist whatever remained of the Resistance in Australia to continue their fight.

Additional information: In addition to his native Malay/Indonesian, he is fluent in English, Vietnamese, Italian, and Russian. He plays the guitar and violin. Kaisar loves to read and write; his primary literary inspirations are George Orwell and Margaret Atwood. He considers himself a socialist and egalitarian, hence his support of the Resistance over his own Dynastic House. He secretly owns the works of socialist leaders such as Karl Marx, Ho Chi Minh, Soekarno, and Mao Zedong. This also led him to develop a resentment towards the NUSSR and the Red Tsar, which in his opinion only tainted the name of Communism, and are completely fascist tyrants in all but name.


Organization name: Bandiera Rossa (italian); also known as Bendera Merah (malay) in Southeast Asia
Dynastic head: "Carlo" (alias known to organization leaders); "Neapolitan" (alias known to anyone else)
Other members: Bandiera Rossa is not an organization in the traditional sense; it is a system that connects various Resistance cells across the world, many of them independent, to work with each other without necessarily knowing who they worked with. The organization's sporadic and random nature has made it practically untraceable, since all action are done through the Neapolitan as intermediary between different organizations, and the Neapolitan has metahuman abilities that allowed him to communicate with various groups secretly.
Territorial claim: None. Bandiera Rossa is most active in Southern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
Political philosophy: The various groups that are connected through Bandiera Rossa are all left-wing organizations opposed to Metahuman rule. Socialist organizations, including communists and anarchists, constitute a major part of these groups.
Brief history: Bandiera Rossa's origins can be traced back into a local Italian Communist Party chapter in the neighborhood of Secondigliano, Naples. Upon the Communist Party's dissolution in 1991, members of this chapter did not align themselves with either the democratic-socialist successor PDS or the more orthodox PRC, but instead established a local, hardline communist organization - at times acting as a rival for the established Camorra organized crime in the city. However, since the fall of Italy to metahuman rule, the two groups began intensively working together - partially because their interests went against the new, tyrannical Metahuman government.

For years, Bandiera Rossa operated off the metahumans' radar, being a small, local organization of little importance. That changed when an unknown figure, introduced to them by a Camorra caporegime, took interest and began assisting them to contact other, similar organizations that shared their values and interests. Strangely enough, this figure posess metahuman ability - creating "windows" (portals that Bandiera Rossa groups can talk to one another with) that has been an instrument in aiding them. Soon the small, unknown organization in Naples lent their name into a transcontinental movement connecting various Resistance groups. Through Bandiera Rossa, numerous Resistance operatives smuggled themsekves in and out of Australia, mainly through Southeast Asia - where many Resistance organizations operated secretly.

Name: Johnathan Cosner
Alias: Archangel, The Armor Thief, JohnnyBoy
Alignment: Resistance
Age: 35
Appearance:
Image

Image

Additional physical features: Stands at 6'0" and weighs 180 lbs.

Personality: Johnny is a bit of a wiseass. He's not a fan of orders and is always up for a bit of snark. While he's friendly, and quite romantic if he feels like it, he prefers to work alone, particularly on the missions that he runs for the Resistance. Not really out of a want for solitude but because he doesn't trust anyone else to get his jobs done besides himself. Never rely on anything you can't control.

Abilities:
Armored Suit- Johnny operates most of the time in a high tech piece of mechanized armor stolen from a dynasty lab. While the suit itself is just a prototype with no weapons installed, it grants him protection from small arms fire, a degree of super strength, improved jump height, and aim assist/technical readout of his opponents.

Biography: Johnathan Cosner was born to a ranching family in Montana on July 4th, 1985. His father and mother were ranch-hands, which meant that the young family would move around pretty constantly, following work around the great plains. It was a tough life, and the end result is that Johnny had to educate himself most of the time. He taught himself to read, and to write, and through his schemes with other boys on the ranchs and the people in the towns he stayed in, he taught himself the basic principles of business. His parents work allowed them to live, yes, but Johnny wanted to thrive, and he began to make strides in that direction since he was old enough to talk someone out of a few quarters. Still, he was brought up under his father's strict creed to life. Nothing was more important than a man's freedom and giving back to others. And it was that creed that Johnathan followed.

He was 14 when then World was turned upside down. The metahumans that hand long protected mankind, turned on them and put the world under their boot. Oh sure, they offered platitudes and some countries claimed that they were the same as before, but John and his father saw through it all. They saw countries once the shining beacons of freedombe turned subject to tyrants who the normal people of the world could not hope to fight. Or could they. Together, father and son, John and his dad began to resist. At first in small ways, but soon Johnny's instincts took over, and he began to see those little ways to thrive open themselves up again. Gun running, metahuman serums, documents, all of them needed to get places, and with their knowledge of the countryside, they could get them places. By the age of 20, Johnathan ran one of the largest over land smuggling networks in the post millenium world. His father died a happy man, successful for the first time in his life, brought down by lung cancer after a lifetime of smoking. His mother disowned Johnny not long after. She was more than willing to put her head down for survival.

Without his father's influence, Johnny's organization began to step out of the shadows. They began to plan bigger hits, bigger scores, one of which earned Johnny his suit. This was good for a time, but the common thug that Johnny had to employ to get things done was... less than effective most of the time. And that lack of efficiency over time lead to the unraveling of all he had built up. Reprisals and failed jobs made it harder to hire new talent, old contacts stopped doing business, and the work dried up. Johnny recognized that a stagnant organization was not an organization worth protecting for most informants, and so he recognized that the music was stopping. And so, with nothing said in the midle of the night, Johnny took off for Australia, where he set to work as a more solo gunrunner/acquistions expert.

More Dynasties would be most appreciated. The open ones are India, Central Asia, and West Africa. although lower vassals in any region would be very cash money as well.

Dreamwalker: Dr. Jewel can enter the dreamworld of others, and affect that dreamworld to his designs. The closer he is to a person, the more he can affect the dream itself, to the point that, if he is close to you, he can turn your nightmares torturous. However, that only happens in close proximity, like being in the same room. The power quickly dissapates, but it still allows him to enter any dream state, which allows him to converse with the dreamer. The power stops there, however. He cannot wake people up or guess their location, he cannot read their minds apart from the dreams they have, and unless he is close, people can easily block any dreams they don't want him to see. Up close, it is a weapon of extreme psychological torture, but from afar, it is more of a method of communication.

Sandman: Dr. Jewel can coax people to sleep. 'Coax' is the right word here: he cannot force people to sleep. If people resist the urge, then he is powerless. However, he can make those that are unprepared slowly fall into drowsiness and eventual sleep, where he can in turn enter their dreams, or leave them be. The more distress someone is in, the less effect this power has.
Biography: Tim Jewel was born in Manchester, the UK. Tim never met his father, as he had left his mother following her pregnancy. He was some metahuman in disguise, fleeing both the governments trying to use him, as well as the metas slowly planning their overthrow. Comitment to family, however, was too much for him, as was the possibility that a meta child would out his secret identity to the world. As a result, Tim was raised by his mother, for whom he still has great affection. While they did not have much, she gave him what she could, which included a membership of the local library. Every month, Tim could pick out a number of books he liked, and take them home. This sparked his major interests: dinosaurs, cars, airplanes, ancient Egypt, spaceflight, big buildings, the weather... Every month a new obsession, and something he could sink his teeth in.

He did not do well at school, partially because his kind of rapid-fire curiosity did not vibe well with the classical method of education, which required slow regurgitation of processes and facts, and an eventual test during which you had to precisely recollect what you had learned. No matter, while he did not do well, he always earned at least passing grades, and the respect of his teachers got him most of the way there, even if the often flunked his tests. It was towards High School that he began to notice his powers; before, his friends in primary school had not found it odd that Tim would appear in their dreams. Dreaming together was fun, and allowed for far more adventures than in the real world. Sleepovers with Tim Jewel were the best, and that made him very popular. However, towards High School, Tim began to notice how impossible it was for him to actually visit the dreams of others. As he became more afraid of it, it started to happen less and less, only happening a handful of times over the duration of his high school experience. Rare enough that he could pass it off as a fluke.

It was not until the final year of high school that he had a true revelation: his first girlfriend stayed over for the first time, and when she was there, he experienced a fevered night that did not make sense in the slightest. He dreamt what felt like a hundred different dreams, and reality and dream blended over into one another. Towards the early morning, bathing in fevered sweat, he began to experiment, coming in and out of his girlfriend Sarah's dreams, talking to her, and influencing what she dreamt about. That night, he realised what was the matter with him, and the next morning, he realised that he would have to make it his life's work to understand what was going on with him. So when he picked a field of study at university, he picked neurology, in particular oneirology; the study of dreams.

For the first time, he excelled at something. His colleagues in the field were often astounded by the way that Tim seemed to fundamentally and instinctively understand dreams, and he finished his studies summa cum laude. Not only that, but Tim was a favourite buddy to do drugs with, since he could show you things that were truly out of this world. Not only that, but his calming voice could even help the biggest insomniac sleep, which attracted to him a very particular kind of romantic partner throughout university. Eventually, he was offered a place at Yale Medical, which he took up gladly. It was here that he got into 'utopic urbanism', since the car-centric cities of the US were so horrificly designed for pedestrians. His love for architecture sprung from his desire to create a better world, not just understand it. Here, he began to use his powers for what he saw as 'good'; implanting ideas into the heads of civil servants, and coaxing them into implementing them. However, the democratic process proved a hurdle, as politicians were not interested in long-term projects, only short-term gains. Capitalism itself seemed against him.

Since he was not a known metahuman, he was not actively involved in the coup that overthrew the world governments. However, he was incredibly pleased when it happened regardless. He saw a chance for a New World Order to be implemented. He outed himself almost immediately, and became a volunteer for that New World Order. As a doctor of neurology, with a minor in psychology, he was a sought-after psychiatrist, helping metahumans get over the worst trauma of the coup and their times before that, but also helping some with the new burden of command. It was in this capacity that he became a friend of Josiah Kelvin, just before the latter murdered his mother. In the sweeping changes that followed, Timothy managed to convince Josiah that he should be given the barony of what was to be called Colombia, after the queen of Earth, to reshape in his image as an urbanist vision of the future. At the same time, Timothy discovered the use of his powers, not only to help people, but to torture them into giving information as well, without leaving so much as a scar to prove it. So, for special cases, Dr. Jewel was called in for particularly tight-lipped suspects, now housed at the Arlington Panopticon, a special prison after his own design.

Now, Dr. Jewel is much. A psychiatrist for the ruling classes of Earth, an architect, an aquirer of information and, in some cases, a diplomat, being able to speak with people even if they are far away and their location is unknown. The reconstruction of Colombia is well underway, and within a few years, Timothy Jewel will hope to present it to all the other dynasts of the world.
Additional information: Dr. Jewel is currently engaged in his biggest project: the total reconstruction of Washington D.C. as a city, which he plans to turn into the ultimate, rational, egalitarian city. A utopia through city design, heavily reliant on optical illusions and lines of sight. It is part of the vision that the Old World, and the memories of the Old Government, should be removed.

It was Carlos's father Luis was named as his successor, though rumors say that a metahuman planted the idea in his head as Juan was not direct descendent of Alfonso XIII, the last reigning King of Spain, but rather of Charles IV's son Carlos' family line.

Luis's reign as monarch was a benevolent one, working to reverse much of the damage that Franco had done to the Spanish. He was known as the Good King, increasing citizen's rights and and liberties and several reforms through Spain's parliament at the behest of the King.

On the last day of the year 1999, Luis abdicated the Spanish throne leaving Carlos to assume it the very next day at the start of the new millennium. Many questioned the sudden abdication, and Carlos' rule was the opposite of his father.

They are, known to be used for delicate situations, they only strive for the status quo. Almost like a Men In Black organization.

All right, probably for matters of security, they are only known to the Eleven, as the twilight seat rotates

1. That shouldn't be a problem
2. You could say which Dynasty your character is attached to if he's a lower ranking vassal, or you can say he's attached to the System if he's like a free blade or a mercanry.

We still have a few Great Lords open, namely, Central Asia and India, but other than that, lower-ranked lords basically anywhere would be fine

Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States wrote:Name: Dr. Timothy Jewel
Alias: Dr. Dream, Baron of Colombia (Washington D.C.)
Alignment: Dynastic Houses
Age: 36
Appearance:

Additional physical features: Dr Jewel's eyes slowly shift hues, depending on his emotional state. If he is exited, his eyes will be bright and blaze different colours. If he is bored on unenthused, his eyes will be dull and grey.
Personality: Timothy is deeply engaged with his obsessions, and extremely curious about the workings of the world. He has a myriad of fields he is interested in, often overlapping, which he tries to work into his daily life. He likes to draw, to write, he is a poet and a painter, he loves to consume all sorts of art, from movies to opera to paintings, and he is very invested in architecture as an artform. He can be described as manic, and his mind can fire very rapidly, which can make his presence tiring for those around him.
Abilities:
Dreamwalker: Dr. Jewel can enter the dreamworld of others, and affect that dreamworld to his designs. The closer he is to a person, the more he can affect the dream itself, to the point that, if he is close to you, he can turn your nightmares torturous. However, that only happens in close proximity, like being in the same room. The power quickly dissapates, but it still allows him to enter any dream state, which allows him to converse with the dreamer. The power stops there, however. He cannot wake people up or guess their location, he cannot read their minds apart from the dreams they have, and unless he is close, people can easily block any dreams they don't want him to see. Up close, it is a weapon of extreme psychological torture, but from afar, it is more of a method of communication.

Sandman: Dr. Jewel can coax people to sleep. 'Coax' is the right word here: he cannot force people to sleep. If people resist the urge, then he is powerless. However, he can make those that are unprepared slowly fall into drowsiness and eventual sleep, where he can in turn enter their dreams, or leave them be. The more distress someone is in, the less effect this power has.
Biography: Tim Jewel was born in Manchester, the UK. Tim never met his father, as he had left his mother following her pregnancy. He was some metahuman in disguise, fleeing both the governments trying to use him, as well as the metas slowly planning their overthrow. Comitment to family, however, was too much for him, as was the possibility that a meta child would out his secret identity to the world. As a result, Tim was raised by his mother, for whom he still has great affection. While they did not have much, she gave him what she could, which included a membership of the local library. Every month, Tim could pick out a number of books he liked, and take them home. This sparked his major interests: dinosaurs, cars, airplanes, ancient Egypt, spaceflight, big buildings, the weather... Every month a new obsession, and something he could sink his teeth in.

He did not do well at school, partially because his kind of rapid-fire curiosity did not vibe well with the classical method of education, which required slow regurgitation of processes and facts, and an eventual test during which you had to precisely recollect what you had learned. No matter, while he did not do well, he always earned at least passing grades, and the respect of his teachers got him most of the way there, even if the often flunked his tests. It was towards High School that he began to notice his powers; before, his friends in primary school had not found it odd that Tim would appear in their dreams. Dreaming together was fun, and allowed for far more adventures than in the real world. Sleepovers with Tim Jewel were the best, and that made him very popular. However, towards High School, Tim began to notice how impossible it was for him to actually visit the dreams of others. As he became more afraid of it, it started to happen less and less, only happening a handful of times over the duration of his high school experience. Rare enough that he could pass it off as a fluke.

It was not until the final year of high school that he had a true revelation: his first girlfriend stayed over for the first time, and when she was there, he experienced a fevered night that did not make sense in the slightest. He dreamt what felt like a hundred different dreams, and reality and dream blended over into one another. Towards the early morning, bathing in fevered sweat, he began to experiment, coming in and out of his girlfriend Sarah's dreams, talking to her, and influencing what she dreamt about. That night, he realised what was the matter with him, and the next morning, he realised that he would have to make it his life's work to understand what was going on with him. So when he picked a field of study at university, he picked neurology, in particular oneirology; the study of dreams.

For the first time, he excelled at something. His colleagues in the field were often astounded by the way that Tim seemed to fundamentally and instinctively understand dreams, and he finished his studies summa cum laude. Not only that, but Tim was a favourite buddy to do drugs with, since he could show you things that were truly out of this world. Not only that, but his calming voice could even help the biggest insomniac sleep, which attracted to him a very particular kind of romantic partner throughout university. Eventually, he was offered a place at Yale Medical, which he took up gladly. It was here that he got into 'utopic urbanism', since the car-centric cities of the US were so horrificly designed for pedestrians. His love for architecture sprung from his desire to create a better world, not just understand it. Here, he began to use his powers for what he saw as 'good'; implanting ideas into the heads of civil servants, and coaxing them into implementing them. However, the democratic process proved a hurdle, as politicians were not interested in long-term projects, only short-term gains. Capitalism itself seemed against him.

Since he was not a known metahuman, he was not actively involved in the coup that overthrew the world governments. However, he was incredibly pleased when it happened regardless. He saw a chance for a New World Order to be implemented. He outed himself almost immediately, and became a volunteer for that New World Order. As a doctor of neurology, with a minor in psychology, he was a sought-after psychiatrist, helping metahumans get over the worst trauma of the coup and their times before that, but also helping some with the new burden of command. It was in this capacity that he became a friend of Josiah Kelvin, just before the latter murdered his mother. In the sweeping changes that followed, Timothy managed to convince Josiah that he should be given the barony of what was to be called Colombia, after the queen of Earth, to reshape in his image as an urbanist vision of the future. At the same time, Timothy discovered the use of his powers, not only to help people, but to torture them into giving information as well, without leaving so much as a scar to prove it. So, for special cases, Dr. Jewel was called in for particularly tight-lipped suspects, now housed at the Arlington Panopticon, a special prison after his own design.

Now, Dr. Jewel is much. A psychiatrist for the ruling classes of Earth, an architect, an aquirer of information and, in some cases, a diplomat, being able to speak with people even if they are far away and their location is unknown. The reconstruction of Colombia is well underway, and within a few years, Timothy Jewel will hope to present it to all the other dynasts of the world.
Additional information: Dr. Jewel is currently engaged in his biggest project: the total reconstruction of Washington D.C. as a city, which he plans to turn into the ultimate, rational, egalitarian city. A utopia through city design, heavily reliant on optical illusions and lines of sight. It is part of the vision that the Old World, and the memories of the Old Government, should be removed.

That should be fine. How the South American Reich operates, Brasil is a Kingdom part of the wider Federation, under the leadership of Viktoria, so there are plenty of lower-ranking titles you could choose from. The Reich is a metahuman supremacist state firstly, so your character doesn't have to be an ethnic German, either, although he would be part of the Party.
