Bio| THE ORIGINS |
| The story of Pandora's Box is well known...created by the gods to punish man for the folly of Prometheus and gifted with a beautiful box she was told never to open, Pandora's curiosity doomed mankind when she disobeyed and unleashed all the world's evils, locking away Hope alone in order to save it from destruction. The story is true...but it doesn't end there. The evil Pandora unleashed was an entity so old and so corrupt its name remains unknown. The evils of the world are a result of its very existence...a myriad of hardship and pain all existing simply because the creature, known as the Darkness, lives and breathes. To complete man's punishment, Pandora was cursed as Hope's guardian for all time. Forced to take the virtue into her very flesh, she became bound to its power...and a target for the Darkness. All the magic and mysteries of the universe in all its beauty became hers to command as weapons and protect for future generations, ensuring balance in the mortal world for all time. And so it was she served...as did her children on through history... |
| THE FRATERNITY OF LIGHT |
| They live and breathe under a historical veil of secrecy, thrive on theatrical artistry and public spectacle. They pass off real magic as illusion, feats of human creativity with glimpses of the "tricks" and how they're done to perpetuate the facade. They are the children of Pandora's line, true practicioners of magic...keepers of Hope itself doing battle with the Darkness. In public and private, they fight, preserving balance for the sake of humanity's survival...conducting a secret war in the public eye and calling it a parlor trick. They are the Fraternity of Light, and they are true magicians. They wear top hats and entertain at children's parties. They dazzle in the bright lights of Las Vegas. They do card tricks to entertain at the office, and some do no open magic at all. Levitation, vanishing, restoration of that which is broken...the power is real, and the gifts are more than power, they're weapons. The magic is the tool...but the use of it gives light where there is darkness. Wonderment, awe, joy...these are the children of Hope, and this is the true purpose of the Fraternity's existence: to keep Hope alive. |
| "MAD" DOG CARTER |
| Born and raised in California, a misprint on his birth certificate christened the Sacramento born descendant of Pandora as Doglas Alfred Carter instead of Douglas. As a child, his parents and teachers simply addressed him by that name until he became aware of the mistake at the age of ten and proudly began using his legal name. By the time he was a teenager, Douglas Carter had become Dog to all that knew him. Raised by parents pledged to the Fraternity, Dog grew up in the world of magic and illusion. Working in his mother's stage act as a child by helping her set up props and sometimes even vanishing during her performances, he was doing fairly standard conjuring and prestidigitation by the time he was ten, and using his power by the age of thirteen. As he grew, however, he found his roots not simply in stagecraft, but discovered a predisposition towards theatrical mysticism that soon developed into a far more spiritual way of life for him. Studying at USC, Dog majored in botany with a minor in animal sciences. Torn between a career in veterinary medicine or researching plant life, like most avatars he found his calling in a more creative profession as he got into gardening. Starting as a stock boy with a family run garden house in Chatsworth, Dog worked his way up and soon earned a reputation for his knack with growing, and eventually talked the owners into adding landscaping to their available services. Currently, he runs the landscaping division for CLR Botanical. When he's not on a job site or pulling a little extra time in the greenhouse, he's hanging out with friends, tending his own personal collection of exotic plants, performing, or fighting for his life and the rest of humanity in the streets of Los Angeles. |
