Character Name: Antigonus (Nikolaos Wolfe) Fandom: OC/X-Men (sort of) Character Journal: sum_tempus Position: Special Ops (secondary: Intelligence Officer) A Description of the Character: Emotional State and Personality: Unstable. Has a quicksilver temperament and tends to seem bipolar. He is up and down quicker than a roller-coaster, and tends to boggle the minds of people around him. He is fiercely loyal, but his trust is hard to win. He values the people he loves and clings to them, fearing only that he will lose them. He is intensely patriotic, despite being removed from his country not only by millenia but by a galaxy, as well.
History: Antigonus was born to Zosime and Hilarion of Thebes. They were high-ranking, wealthy landowners. For the first seven years of his life, Antigonus lived in peace at his family's home. However, as pederasty was the system for the aristocracy, he was sent to live with another, older Theban by the name of Nikolaos.
From age eight to age sixteen, Antigonus lived with Nikolaos. Nikolaos was cruel to Antigonus, but for the most part they got along. Nikolaos viewed Antigonus as his trophy, although they never had sexual relations and Antigonus was quite belligerent. Nikolaos taught Antigonus the arts of society, the laws of science, the way around the law, and some of the arts of war. At sixteen, rather than join his father in the aristocracy, he was forced to marry Euthalia. They were fond of each other, but they didn't really love each other.
Antigonus joined the army and soon came to the Sacred Band. Here, he was the paraibatai, paired with an older man, Theophanes (the heniochoi). Phanes and Antigonus loved each other and became almost renowned in the Band for their ability to cooperate and have teamwork. They fought together from the time that Antigonus was seventeen to the time that he was nineteen. The Band went undefeated until the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 B.C. Phanes was slaughtered, and Antigonus found his mutation being activated: he went from the fields of Chaeronea, kneeling over Phanes, through time to a place known as Persia.
In Persia, Antigonus found himself under the command of Alexander the Great, where he would spend four years. He disliked the Persians immensely, and found himself once again slipping through time. However, Antigonus ended up in Britain in the time of the Roman Empire. He spent ten years there, and then found himself again moving through time.
He arrived in modern-day America, apparently linked to a signet ring from one of the officers at the Battle of Chaeronea. Here, he learned English from the historian in possession of the ring, but a scant four months later, he arrived in Atlantis, linked to a change in possession of the ring.
Appearance: Height: 5’ 8” (beneath average) Weight: 145 lbs Eyes: Ice blue Hair: Ranges from dark brown to black or black with red; length ranges from just past the shoulders to chin length Build: Lean Distinguishing Characteristics: Several battle scars over his torso, legs, and arms; T&A monogram carved into the heel of his left hand near the thumb Dress style: Ranges from black or other dark colors with fingerless gloves to traditional Ancient Greek everyday-wear to traditional Sacred Band armor and uniform
Powers: Niki has control of time. He can freeze it, slow it, speed it up, or slip through it. He can back it up (usually only for a few minutes at most) or drag it forward (he went from the mid 370’s B.C. to present, although he skipped a few eras between). There is a place he can go that is like an alternate version of our world, where the fourth dimension does not exist. This place, he says, is like a very dim interpretation of our own world. He can see everything that occurs around him, but he is on a plane in the universe without time. He can manipulate time to do as he wishes. However, if he stays in the three-dimensional plane for a certain amount of time in the four-dimensional plane, he loses energy and can become trapped there. Also, he can link himself to objects or people and follow them through time (currently, he's linked to a signet ring). Furthermore, he can "see" the fabric of time in a person's life. He can see the colors surrounding a person (almost like an aura) and he can tell emotions or currents surrounding them (i.e., white is love in a person's life, purple is hurt, blue is rage, etc.). This only happens for certain people, mostly the ones who ahve the "brightest" (or mots diverse) histories.
He can't alter time per se, although he can take others with him when he travels. He can take things into the "place without time" and leave them there, although it's harder to leave sentient beings behind. He almost never takes anyone with him, on grounds that he neither wants their comany nor does he deem anyone important enough to drag along. As far as actual travel goes, he prefers to move through the place without time rather than freeze time and move that way, as it takes less out of him. However, he can (and sometimes does) make time move slower or faster. (Another note on the place without time: When he's there, he and any objects he took with him are invisible to the human eye.)
The signet ring was that of his friend, Kassandros (or possibly Nikon or Panther - he isn't sure which), and he saw it frequently, and even touched it. He became linked to it after the death of Theophanes, presumably because he'd frequently encountered it, and it was a symbol of the stability (or so he likes to think of it) he had with Theophanes and the Band. When his stability was taken from him, he saw it on the battlefield, just as someone was picking it up, thereby becoming permanently linked to it. He can only leap great amounts of time if he becomes linked to an object and it survives the duration of his time-leap.
