He is actually fairly heavily built but not to the point of being fat either ths is from being at least moderately physically fit. He has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. On his chin he sports some facial hair that is kept neatly clipped and groomed when he chooses to be seen with facial hair otherwise he is clean shaven for more formal events.

Abilities: A brilliant scientist with high genius level intellect and a powerful affinity for magic. He uses both black magic and can tap into universal energies for powering spells.

He is an excellent leader and a very eloquent speaker using that gift to be a master of manipulation.
Weaknesses and flaws: Higher levels of cold iron disrupt his magic by attracting the power from it like a lightning rod. He is arrogant. He gets extremely jealous of the current members of the Fantastic Four. More specify he is jealous of Vincent and wishes to make Vincent miserable and then crush him.
Because he is from a different reality he lacks the current knowledge on world politics and whose who in the super-hero and villain worlds.
Currently he has no solid finances and needs to rebuild his assets to fund both his research and any crimes he may choose to act out.

Alignment (villain, hero etc): Villain
Relatives (living/dead?): Victor von Doom (father), Morgan Le Fey (Mother), Vincent Amorason/Richardson(half-brother from the NextGen Universe), Kristoff Vernard(adopted brother)
Backstory: A child from an affair between Victor von Doom and Morgan Le Fey Taliesin was reared by his father. He knew his mother but she never showed a strong interest in his up bringing except when it came to making sure that he knew how to perform magic to the best of his abilities so that he would not shame her by being viewed as weak.
He was as close to his father as he could be as a child. He was aware that his father had a ward at one point but wasn't made aware of what had happened to Kristoff until he was a teenager and had become very hard and the seeds of friendship at the very least did not flourish between the two since at the time his father had just taken a sound beating from the Fantastic Four and Taliesin was unwilling to accept anything his world's Kristoff had to say. At the time it was because he couldn't believe that anyone would choose the Fantastic Four over their King.
As the years passed Taliesin became more and more his own person. While he was never fond of modern music he began to enjoy the arts in a way that was different from his father. He even tried to assert he was different from his father by courting girls his age from different countries. He was never very close to any of them. But one girl did catch his eye. She was not someone his father approved of because she was a commoner from their country and Taliesin was expected to one day marry well to help secure an alliance.
At the time he was young and in Doctor Doom's opinion headstrong because Taliesin claimed to be in love with the girl. He wanted to make things more serious. He had a loud heated argument with his father. The next day when he went to see the girl in question she was gone and Taliesin could not find her. He suspected his father had something to do with it but he could not confirm anything so he was forced to swallow the issue.
Recently he had decided his father had gown weak. He feared that Latvaria would suffer without a firm and strict ruler. So while thinking that over he thought he should take the world as well. With a harsh rule peace could come to the Earth and they could reach their full strength.
Dr Doom discovered his son's plan just as Taliesin was launching it. They had a bitter battle. Doctor Doom triumphed and held a trial against his son. He had committed high treason and in a moment of sentimentality Doom decided to exile his son. Not out of the country where he would face the superhero community, but to another world with nothing but the clothes on his back.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: I'll detail how he pulled himself up from being just spit out into the world and how he got things stabilized for himself. Then? He is going to make a bid to take over the world. It won't be actually serious on his part since he wouldn't have had the time to really start planning but he will threaten New York and the Fantastic Four will be called in to deal with a mysterious 'Wanna-Be Doom'.
What are you planning to do with this character? He is going to start getting NPC villains to do his bidding. He wants to figure out just how strong this Earth's super-hero community is. That means recording and watching their battles. Eventually he will try to assemble a group to take over the world. This will end with him very much disliking the Masters of Evil if they try to take over the world.
What do you want to see happen with this character?:
He is going to start mixing things up for everyone. I want to see him grudgingly accepting Vincent and Kristoff as brothers at some point. Maybe a plot where they have to work together for a common goal. He will still treat them as the enemy on the battle field but show a side of mercy that only they will get to see.
Aside from that he is going to be a villain who is carefully pulling the strings of every other bad guy who doesn't quite realize that they are being pushed into fights they probably won't win. One of his plans from this will be to use the gathered data to take over the world so he can attack his father from this one. Revenge after all.
Sample Post:
"Bring the prisoner out," Doom commands. It had been three days since Taliesin failed in his plan to take over Latvaria. He had expected to be killed outright. He had known that he would pay a heavy price for failure.
He had become more and more worried over his fate as the hours went on. He had been given too much time to think. He knew that the only person in his Father's court that would be able to tell how nervous he truly was would be his Father. That was the price he paid for not becoming close to too many people. The ones he had presauded to join his cause had been killed yesterday for their part in the act of High Treason they had all committed.
He would feel a stab of guilt every time he looked back on that. If only he had planned harder or spent more time on the details. He could not think of a single flaw in his plan. He puzzles over it as the Doombots lead him into the court and he stands before his father.
His eyes lock on the King of Latvaria and Taliesin can admit just where it all went wrong as Doom reads off the list of charges stacked against him. He underestimated his Father. He should have known better.
"..... And so as your King I find you guilty, Taliesin von Doom," Victor von Doom finishes after a moment. Taliesin expects to get shot. To get blasted away by magic. Anything but to have a device brought out. He recalls it in an instance. Father had used it to go to another Earth once.
"Father," he finally speaks up feeling and showing fear. Surely he would not be sent to the Zombie World.
"Silence! You have brought this upon yourself, Taliesin von Doom. Not just yourself. I have had your men killed for what you and they did. You though..... You will live. But not here. Never shall you set foot in Latvaria again. Never shall you walk this Earth. Never shall you be able to return, Taliesin von Doom son of Morgan Le Fey and Victor von Doom. From now on? You shall live on another Earth. I give you nothing but the clothing on your back now. I will not wish you luck or anything. Remember the price for your treachery Talieson," Victor says as he starts up the machine.
Taliesin screams as his body is torn apart and everything he is scatters into the stream of the multiverse. He knows nothing while he is there. There is pain and nothing else. When he is spat back out he ends up in the filth of an alley way. He is in pain and can't hold anything in.
Not even the rage. His father sent him away. Like this. He only hopes that he will survive the next few hours. He needs a plan.
