Bio

PANDORA'S BOXPandora was created by the gods to punish man for the sins of Prometheus. Wed to his brother 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, and Man, from destruction.

The myth is true...but there's more to the story.

Pandora freed only one evil, so old and corrupt its name is unknown. With many facets and untold power, the entity called The Darkness is the source of each Face's existence. As punishment, she was taken from her husband and cursed as Hope's guardian for all time. The virtue was sealed into her flesh, binding her to its power. With it, she was tasked to perpetuate Hope's existence and hold The Darkness at bay. Without it, Man would cease to be...and The Darkness would own all of creation.

And so it was she served...as did her husband, Epimetheus, and her children on through history...

THE FRATERNITY OF LIGHTThey are Pandora and Epimetheus's progeny, living personifications of Hope blessed with the power of true magic. They live and breathe under a historical veil of secrecy, a facade of public artistry where they pass off real magic as constructed illusions. The come from every walk of life, and live by the vows sworn by the father of their order.

As Epimetheus swore his loyalty to Pandora and his life to Hope, so do the members of the Fraternity of Light. They are mortal shells wearing the faces of humans alive and yet to be born. They are not, however, human in nature because they have no human souls. Animated only by the virtue they safeguard, their very presence kindles hope, and the use of their power reveals the three faces of hope in a world where evil is everywhere: faith, love, and justice.

TOMMY KARRASBorn in Brooklyn, moved to Las Vegas when he was ten, and finally migrated to Hollywood when he was eighteen. A shy child raised with a love of magic, he learned two card tricks from his father to boost his confidence and help him make friends. Paying for college with an athletic scholarship, he parlayed it into a solid education, graduating from UCLA with a major in art and a minor in history. Working as a graphics designer and studying martial arts in his spare time, his life was comfortable and creative...difficult, but never more than he could overcome.

Until the night he was mugged by an unknown assailant. Shot at point-blank range, Tommy was prepared to become just another statistic...when he caught the bullet in his hand like a modern day Chung Ling Soo...

WORLDS APARTMASTER'S SON: This is Tommy's canon 'verse, where most of his interaction will take place. After discovering his heritage and past lives as Harry Houdini and the Titan god Epimetheus, he began working on building a career as a magician. Formerly a resident of Los Angeles, he is currently moving back home to Las Vegas after the death of his girlfriend Ziyah Ambrogio, which occured just after the birth of their daughter, Mayilia Alessa Ambrogio-Karras. He maintains close friendships with several close friends such as members of Control Freak, Henrietta Callahan, and Baileigh Solis among others.

NO HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS: Tommy is still living in Los Angeles, learning the finer uses of his power while trying to figure out his relationship with Sassafras Lally, which is becoming increasingly complicated with every passing day.

AU JOURNALS:

magic_fang_boy: Tommy is bitten by a vampire during a visit to New York and turned, but keeps his Titan soul. The tragedy leads to the consummation of his relationship with Sassafras Lally, a Slayer who also serves as his only source of nourishment. Together, they come to terms with the adversarial nature of their relationship and struggle to survive in a world full of Slayers that would rather see Tommy dead, and turn on Sassy for her place at his side.

houdini_fanboy: Tommy is 22 years old and still in college. He is completely aware of his heritage, close friends with the Kellar twins and Dog Carter, and engaged to marry Sassafras Lally.

blackstone_jr: Nico Contarini is the man born after the death of Tommy Karras, the next incarnation of the soul of Epimetheus. It follows two diverging timelines, both set after Tommy's death.
