-------------------------------------------------------------------



Fear: A final victory of Chaos over Order



Desire: To preserve Order in the universe



HABITS: Nabu does not experience human emotions to the same degree that normal people do, as demonstrated by his reluctance to give up a powerful host body despite heartfelt pleas to abandon it.

PET PEEVE: Dislikes when his allies allow emotions to cloud their judgement



STRENGTHS:

• Master of magic

• Functionally immortal



WEAKNESSES:

• Removal of the Helmet of Fate from it's host    

• After long battles or casting major spells he must recharge his energy    




TRAITS: 

If Nabu was to be summed up in one word, that word would be unsympathetic. Belonging to a race that was the first sentient species in the universe has that affect on most Lords of Order. Being so old and seeing so much has disconnected him from other species. With their short lifespan and constant infighting, why would Nabu waste his time caring about their 'feelings' regarding events. All that matters is that Chaos is kept at bay, and Nabu is willing to pay any price to accomplish that goal. Recently this has manifested as refusing to leave a host body in order to better continue his duties as Doctor Fate. Despite his control of Zatara as a host, it seems that he is being influenced by the mind of the magician. Certain traits that Zatara possessed are now showing themselves with Doctor Fate including his affection for his daughter, Zatanna.

-------------------------------------------------------------------



HISTORY:

Nabu is a Lord of Order, one of the first sentient beings in the universe if not the first. However his status as a godlike being comes with certain limitations. One of these is the inability to affect the material plane without a host, and even then his powers are limited by the host's affinity for magic. While in control of his hosts, their souls would remain in the Helmet, unable to influence the outside world but still able to converse with Nabu.

Eventually the Helmet found its way into the hands of Kent Nelson, an occult practitioner, around the year 1940. Kent joined the Justice Society of America as Doctor Fate, and married a woman named Inza. Five years later in 1945 Kent's wife convinced him that there was more to life than being a hero and puppet of Nabu, so he stopped wearing the Helmet of Fate, instead fighting crime as himself. It was many years before someone came looking for the Helmet, and in the ensuing conflict Kent was killed, his soul entering the Helmet to teach Wally about the Fate as he had just become Fate. Kent was also instrumental in releasing Wally from Fate's control after the fight had ended.

The Helmet was used twice more, as promised. Aqualad was the first to use the Helmet to fight Wotan, and Kent convinced Nabu once more to give up his hold on the boy's body. The second time was when Zatanna donned the Helmet to fight Klarion. After victory Nabu was adamant about holding onto her body, even releasing Kent's soul from the Helmet as he did not want to lost another host body. However Zatara was there, and bargained with Nabu. Offering up his own body, which was at it's magical peak, in exchange for his daughter's which still had much room to grow. Zatanna removed the Helmet and after a heartfelt goodbye, Zatara donned the Helmet of Fate and became the current host of Doctor Fate. This would cause an issue down the road when Doctor Fate's position on the League would be debated, as Zatara was coerced into giving him his body. Fate justified his position by stating he joined at Zatara's request, so others could keep an eye on him.

After the events of the Reach's invasion of Earth, Fate has continued with his tireless pursuit of Klarion and the destruction of the agents of Chaos. Deeply in tune with the mystical forces of the universe, he has been tracking various sorcerers and occultists and putting a stop to them when the need arises. Despite his own personal fights, Fate remains at the side of the Justice League.

NAME: Jordan

EXPERIENCE: Damn, 10 years on and off? It has definitely been at least a couple of years at least since I've done any RP on a board like this. I'm typically roleplaying with pen & paper RPGs.

CONTACT: Through the site is fine, I also have Discord or my email associated with this account is fine.

HOW'D YOU FIND US?

Looking for a Young Justice RP forum, straight through google. Was desperately wishing for a 3rd season and its looking like this is the closest I'll get to one!



RP SAMPLE:

The last few years have had an effect on Nabu, regardless of what he would say on the matter. Shortly after taking control of Zatara's body he began to feel the changes. Nothing truly terrifying, he was not being corrupted by witchcraft. He was however feeling affection. Clearly this was not coming from within himself, for he was too old and indifferent to the feelings of mere mortals to develop this emotion. Quickly Nabu realized this was coming from Zatara himself. His love for his daughter was somehow bleeding over the threshold and effecting Nabu.

At no more time was it more apparent than at moments like these. Standing in the Watchtower receiving a briefing from The Batman about a plot that The Light was attempting to bring to fruition. His attention should have been focused intently on the Dark Knight but he found his gaze wandering to his daughter.

No, not his daughter.

Refocusing on the briefing he learned that Klarion was making a move. Anything involving the Witch Boy would spell disaster and death for many if Nabu was unable to respond properly. At the completion of the briefing he walked off towards a Zeta tube, intent on leaving to handle Klarion. Nabu did not get far.

"Da- ... Doctor Fate!"

Zatanna. No doubt she would want to fight alongside him. It made sense, sending two masters of magic to fight a Lord of Chaos. Despite Nabu knowing it was a wise move, a small part of him did not want to see Zatanna in danger. Zatara was fearing for his daughter within the Helmet.

This weakness needed to be expunged if it was going to be this much of a liability.



ANYTHING ELSE? Nothing comes to mind!
