Isaac Meisner

"….No….Come on! I have to be able to remember something about them!"

Isaac Joseph Meisner is a Human | Astral Hybrid, and Sorcerer Supreme of the universe known as "Earth-0" in the larger multiverse. His official title is "Doctorus Praeceptorus Conceptus" ("Teacher of Concept"), which simplifies to "Doctor". He is the CEO and owner of Wiseman Faults, potentially the largest private equity firm in the world.

Summary

Isaac is the son of Jerome and Josephine Meisner - ancient beings created eons prior. Isaac's father, Jerome, is an Astral - the Astral of Hope. His mother Josephine is a Siren - a being almost as old and nearly as powerful. As the child of two incredibly powerful beings, never meant to interact with each other - Isaac's existence was seen as an affront to the Astrals, primarily their core hierarchy. In a bid to rally support towards his cause, a malevolent Astral - representing Subterfuge, plotted to usurp Jerome's core position as head of the Astrals. The malevolent Astral claimed that Josephine had manipulated Jerome into helping her gain a great power - as part of a plan to slowly weaken the Astrals across their cosmic hierarchy. The other Astrals, consumed by fear and paranoia over the ascendancy of a mortal woman - agreed; determining that both Josephine and her yet unborn child must perish.

Recognizing the danger and seeing the malevolent Astral's machinations beforehand, Jerome enlisted the aid of the Gods - primarily Thoth, in order to aid in securing his family's safety. Under the guidance of a powerful cosmic force, Thoth guided Jerome and Josephine to another dimension - which would end up being the Axiom. As the central Nexus of all Magic flowing throughout Earth-0, the Axiom had enlisted Thoth's aid - binding the God to its servitude for a specific task. It was later revealed to Jerome and Josephine that their unborn child had been chosen to be the Crystal's future protector - as Sorcerer Supreme. Initially unwilling to transfer guardianship of his child to the Gods, Jerome eventually relented - after being reminded by Josephine of the dangers that the Astrals posed.

On the day of his birth, Isaac was then left in the care of Thoth and a handful of other Knowledge based Gods, each conceptually bound to the Crystal for the task of raising Isaac to fulfill his function. From that day on, Isaac would be raised with Thoth as his surrogate father - until the day he would be ready to become Sorcerer Supreme. During this time, Thoth took on the identity of a wealthy businessman on Earth-0, creating and handling the management of Wiseman Faults - a large private equity firm and investment organization. Over time, Isaac would be instructed in both academic and mystical subjects, learning the mystics arts with a remarkable aptitude for absorbing information. By his early 20s, Isaac had gained a PhD in Mathematics and a business degree - allowing him to take over management of Wiseman Faults as Thoth's legal son.

At the same time, Isaac had finished his decades of training to become Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-0, only to learn that a second Sorcerer Supreme would be chosen to work with him. Confused beyond belief at the revelation from the Crystal, Isaac would then wait for Thoth to bring the next Sorceress Supreme to the Axiom. After meeting her and learning her name - Stephanie, he then decided to help expedite her training, in the hopes of having her perform her function as well. Over time, Isaac began to grow close to Stephanie, before eventually beginning a relationship with her.

As Doctor, Isaac has dealt with large, extra-dimensional threats that threaten the sanctity of the Axiom, as well as the larger universe. He has also stopped rogue magical beings, such as Iblis - during his attempted rampage across pocket dimensions, in search of his creators - the Thaumians. After defeating Iblis and containing him within a pocket dimension, Isaac then enlisted the help of his fellow Sorcerer Supreme - Magister, and others, in order to guide Iblis towards a redemption. They achieved this by aiding Iblis in the recovery of Thaumian artifacts - hoping to seal the Thaumians off from the larger universe once and for all.

Isaac is currently maintaining his role as Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-0, protecting the Crystal, and by extension the larger universe; from threats in all forms, tangible and abstract as well.

Powers & Abilities

Axiomatic Control

Sorcerer Supreme Outfit

As the one and only Incarnation of the Concept IsoMatrix - Isaac has an innate control over axioms, the self-evident nature of ideas. This gives Isaac relative control over the perception of ideas, and their resulting effects. Isaac can use this power to gradually weaken or strengthen individuals based on his perception of them.

He can also use this ability to reinforce the cutting power of bladed weapons - by simply believing in their capacity to cut objects.

This power can also extend to abstract ideas, such as allowing good fortune for those who conduct themselves in a "wealthy" manner.

Axiomatic Control is essentially a passive and conditional form of Reality Warping - an ability that synergizes with his nature as an Astral, quite effectively.

The ability of Observation is a weakened expression of this ability.

Magic

As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-0, Doctor has decades of extensive training in the mystic arts; knowing various forms of magic in the form of spells, hexes, incantations, jinxes and charms. His style of magical casting is very similar to that of Magister, in the sense that he is extremely methodical in nature.

Doctor is capable of various magical effects and abilities, including:

• Supernatural Physical Characteristics
  • Supernatural Strength
  • Supernatural Speed
  • Supernatural Durability
  • Supernatural Reflexes
  • Supernatural Coordination

As Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor is also well versed in various dextrous skills and techniques, thanks to his decades of training with beings such as Thoth.

He has mastered various skills, including:

• Spell Casting Proficiency
• Analytical Skills
  • Critical Reasoning

Artifacts

Like most Sorcerers Supreme, Doctor has a range of magical artifacts that he uses in conjunction with his core skills and magical abilities - to perform his duties as Sorcerer Supreme. While the extent of his collection of artifacts is vast, a certain few are used more frequently by comparison to the rest.

These frequently used artifacts include:

• Garments of Galaru - [Function]: Channeling of Galaru's essence and Ambient Life Energy absorption

Spells

Much like his numerous colleagues who are also Sorcerers Supreme, Doctor has accumulated a vast repository of magical spells that are capable of various functions. Much like Magister, the spells used by Doctor harness a divine connection to a God in order to facilitate more efficient magical effects. Also like Magister, Doctor can use spells without the need of a divine connection - but such a decision is far less energy efficient.

The list of spells includes:

• Flames of Faust - [Functions]: Pyrokinetic and Typhokinetic Effects [Conjuration Magic]
• Rings of Rudra - [Functions]: Aerokinetic Constructs and Ranged Homing Attacks [Alteration Magic]
• Anima of Anubis - [Functions]: Necromancy and Dark Force Protection [Alteration Magic]
• Planes of Phy'ar - [Functions]: Defensive Shields and Dimension Distorting Effects [Alteration Magic]
• Essence of Eshu - [Functions]: Curse Induction and Paralysis [Destruction Magic]
• Sands of Seker - [Functions]: Mystical Sand Generation and Time Dilation Effects [Illusion Magic]
