You are a Planeswalker.

One in a million sentient beings are born with "the spark", the ineffable essence that makes an individual capable of becoming a Planeswalker.

You are the one in a million. You just don't know it yet.

Who are you?

Help me replace Generic Cloaked Wizard Guy/Gal with an actual character! Draw from Magic: The Gathering lore (or make stuff up, I won't know the difference!) and create the protagonist of this illustrated suggestion adventure: a Planeswalker.

What are you babbling about? 'Magic: The Gathering'?
It's a collectible card game, if you're unfamiliar! There're a bunch of rules and stuff, but that doesn't matter right now. To get a sense of what the game multiverse's mood feels like, click this link.

Stuff to decide:
What's your name?
Are you a boy or a girl?
What race are you? Sorry, guys; we're being boring and sticking with humans. Nevermind on that too! Go nuts, but not too nuts.
What color(s) of magic do you wield? (Any one or two colors except for black, because your GM is a filthy casual who doesn't like zambies and vampires.)
Where are you from? (Don't bother with M:TG lore here. Start us on the path to creating a new world! You can vote something as simple as 'a coastal city' or 'some mountainhome or something'.)
What's your story? Give us a bit of background.

Remember: you're not a Planeswalker yet. You're still a single-universe scrublord until partway into the adventure.

No black? HERESY!

What's your name? Urtauros
Are you a boy or a girl? Male
What race are you? (My only requirement is that you pick one that is visually cool.) Fallen Ferromancer (A humanoid Red Phyrexian, and the Phyrexian's answer to Prodigal Sorcerer.)
What color(s) of magic do you wield? (Any one or two colors except for black, because your GM is a filthy casual who doesn't like zambies and vampires.) Red
Where are you from? (Don't bother with M:TG lore here. Start us on the path to creating a new world! You can vote something as simple as 'a coastal city' or 'some mountainhome or something'.) A Leonin resistance camp
What's your story? Give us a bit of background. Urtauros was originally one of the Fallen Ferromancers used as combatants by the Phyrexian hive mind. However, he managed to focus the unique ability for free thought of the Red Phyrexians, and broke free from the Hive Mind, running away in the night. He ended up stumbling across a group of Leonin in the Mirran Resistance, and after proving himself as free, he was allowed to live there, and fight against his former masters.

While I admit it is tempting to have a Bottle Gnome Planeswalker, I'm going to say whatever race you choose has to be roughly equivalent to a human. You're not playing an illustrated game of Magic, you're directing the main character of a story (that is, they need to have understandable relationships with the other characters in the story, which is difficult if they're a robot or, say, a mobile can of soda).

EDIT: Actually, we're going to stick with just humans for right now.
EDIT EDIT: Actually actually, no. You guys can choose whatever race you want, but for the sake of the GM, try to keep it within reason.

Can we claim the absence of colour as magic?

Alright then, how about an androgynous-looking-and-not-okay-with-that humanoid bottle gnome native to a volcano island tourist-

No vision.

Okay, I've changed my mind again (I seem to be doing that a lot). Pick whatever race you want, but please, keep your choices sane.

[flame99]

I'm assuming that a Phyrexian isn't a sane choice? If not, let's go for a Leonin.

Colorless mana is a thing, why not?

Also, "only" humans sounds dull, unless I take advantage of the precise subtype human, and play as:

(it is a human insect!)

Maybe if everybody were bottle gnomes, then they would have relationships.

The best vanilla human, by the way, is hands down:
