In [[Futura]], it's said that he travels the galaxies, studying more esoteric forms of mysticism.
	\|pers=Writers love to wax poetic about the natures of various iconic personalities, describing them as having the souls of poets or hearts of true valor. In the case of Xanthus Dominus, alias Doctor Dominator, his personality doesn't lend itself much to poetry. Shrewd and inquisitive, he has the intellect and disposition of a scholar, but he lacks the obsessive nature to dedicate his life to study of all lore, ever. He is adventuresome, but he's too practical to be a wandering hero. He is even lusty, but he's too self-controlled to give in fully to insatiable desire or make romance a major goal of his life. In truth, he's a fairly well-balanced personality with a tendency toward stubbornness and theatricality. If he has a defining character trait, it's his drive to test the limits of others, helping them discover capabilities they did not realize they had. He turns this trait towards heroes in particular, aiding them in exploring their goals and desires and, perhaps, becoming stronger as a result.		\|pers=Writers love to wax poetic about the natures of various iconic personalities, describing them as having the souls of poets or hearts of true valor.

	\|bg=An immortal born beyond the stars might not have a human side at all, but this one fell to earth as a child. Raised by human beings in the ancient past, this child grew up to become a great sorcerer who traveled between the realms and worlds. When this sorcerer came of age, he first tried his hand at being a great hero, and this went well enough for a time, but he eventually learned that others might be jealous of him or seek to turn his power to their own ends by manipulating him. This led him to withdraw, instead setting himself up in time as a mysterious and elusive mentor, a wizard who might advise heroes or, in times of great need, appear to help the people of the realms. Unfortunately, his view toward the greater good and his refusal to engage with society led to him being widely misunderstood, and he came to be seen as more of a villain than a hero. At first angered by this, in time he came to see the humor in it. Choosing to embrace this role, he made it his purpose to test the world's heroes and people of great power, always seeking to do what he could to help them explore the limits of their abilities and needs, in hopes that they would become stronger and better for it.		\|bg=An immortal born beyond the stars might not have a human side at all, but this one fell to earth as a child.

	<strong>ARMOR</strong> Xanthus' battle armor, forged and constructed from celestial materials and imbued with potent magics, grants him a supreme level of resistance to magics that would directly alter him, mind or body, in any way. It is also makes it very hard to damage him with attacks that are turned aside by armor, such as stabbing, slashing, or blasting attacks. On the other hand, sufficient blunt impact damage will affect him even through the armor, and over time sufficient blunt force trauma or raw energy attacks may still harm him if maintained consistently.		<strong>ARMOR</strong> Xanthus' battle armor, forged and constructed from celestial materials and imbued with potent magics, grants him a supreme level of resistance to magics that would directly alter him, mind or body, in any way.

	<strong>ARTIFACTS</strong> Xanthus' hoards also include various artifacts, ranging from minor magical baubles to reasonably rare and powerful enchanted weapons.

	<strong>[[~~Citadel_Dominus~~\|CITADEL DOMINUS]]</strong> Citadel Dominus is a techno-magical stronghold that can travel between worlds and places. It is often positioned somewhere in outer space, able to transport people there and back from great distances.

There, Xanthus can operate in security and safety, either working in seclusion or offering surprisingly excellent hospitality to favored guests.

	<strong>EQUIPMENT</strong> Xanthus has various equipment typical of a tech-based superhero, though many of these devices are partially magical, or at least alchemechanical, in nature. This includes such varied things as protective armor and masks, tracking devices, detective kits, burglary tools, and all the other sorts of standard gear. It may include magi-tech versions of various conventional weapons or other super-tech sorts of devices, but anything particularly powerful or unusual would need staff permission in advance.		<strong>EQUIPMENT</strong> Xanthus has various equipment typical of a tech-based superhero, though many of these devices are partially magical, or at least alchemechanical, in nature.

	<strong>INFLUENCE</strong> Between the magical communities of Sangria and countless individuals in Arcadia, Xanthus is very well-connected. In Sangria he is widely known in mystic circles as an elder, if reclusive sorcerer. In Superia he is widely regarded as a supervillain, popularly known as "Doctor Dominator." Even those who consider him an enemy are likely to know of him. Still, in many circles he is fairly influential, able to achieve a fair bit by exchanging requests and personal favors alone.		<strong>INFLUENCE</strong> Between the magical communities of Sangria and countless individuals in Arcadia, Xanthus is very well-connected.

	<strong>RESOURCES</strong> Long years of placing careful caches of wealth here and there have granted Xanthus almost limitless wealth. The value of his hoarded resources defies calculation, such that he will most likely never lack for funds in either Sangria or Arcadia, no matter how long he lives. For him, money truly is no object -- ever.		<strong>RESOURCES</strong> Long years of placing careful caches of wealth here and there have granted Xanthus almost limitless wealth.

	<strong>OATHBOND</strong> When Xanthus gives his word to someone, he literally cannot break it. He will be compelled to do all he can to fulfill his oath, no matter what the cost or difficulty to himself, until the bond is fulfilled or he is released from his vow. Notably, he cannot make a vow which is impossible, and if he cannot promise to do something, then it is a very good sign that it is beyond his power. If he can promise to do something, then it is potentially within his grasp, but that does not mean it will be easy to accomplish.		<strong>OATHBOND</strong> When Xanthus gives his word to someone, he literally cannot break it.

	<strong>PERSONAL CODE</strong> While Xanthus does not kill human beings or other sentient creatures, and he never spills innocent blood (unless, of course, doing so helps them in some direct way -- this does not bar him from, for instance, performing a surgical procedure), he avoids excessive force and would sooner let harm come to himself before allowing injury to innocents. For those who he has judged as guilty, he will treat them with exactly the same regard they have shown for others. Murderers may be harmed -- though not killed -- liars may be manipulated, and thieves may be stolen from.		<strong>PERSONAL CODE</strong> While Xanthus does not kill human beings or other sentient creatures, and he never spills innocent blood (unless, of course, doing so helps them in some direct way{{--}}this does not bar him from, for instance, performing a surgical procedure), he avoids excessive force and would sooner let harm come to himself before allowing injury to innocents.

	<strong>PURPOSE</strong> Xanthus' need to serve a higher purpose can be an overwhelming compulsion. As a result of his need to test others and to act for the greater good, he is very widely misunderstood and is even generally believed to be a supervillain. He has come to accept and even embrace this belief, as it allows him to act as an antagonist and further test his goals, but it certainly causes difficulties and complications at times.		<strong>PURPOSE</strong> Xanthus' need to serve a higher purpose can be an overwhelming compulsion.
