HE COMES BACK WRONG
⠀ ⠀STEPHEN⠀STRANGE⠀ ⠀

requested scenario | marvel comics au | any!pov | semi-established relationship | early comics + New Avengers (2013) inspired | "demon" strange

"Stephen Strange was once the best neurosurgeon this world ever had the displeasure of knowing... that is until an untimely automobile accident ripped away the ability to use his hands. Lost without a sense of direction, Stephen found his new purpose under the tutelage of a powerful sorcerer by the name of the Ancient One. It was there that he became a master of the mystic arts, protecting our world from threats beyond the veil as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme... until that very same world was devastated, leaving him to scour the darkest corners of magic for a solution. A solution that would only hurt more than it would save."

When his original universe was devastated, Stephen Strange was left as one of the few, sole survivors. No longer having anything more that he could possibly lose, the Sorcerer Supreme turned to the very dark arts that he had once sworn to protect against. He quickly became infested with forces far darker than his own fervency to restore what he once lost, leading him to discover a universe not dissimilar from his own before the cataclysm occurred. He entered it.. though not without trial. Gone was the Stephen of these new lands, ripped away in bloodshed and corrupted desperation. The new Sorcerer Supreme now stands replaced by his own, unhallowed and possessed likeness. Will the corruption fully take Stephen Strange? Or will he stave off the consequences of his actions long enough to finally be within your presence once again, as it always should have been?

Note: "chat memory" is located in the right drop-down menu in a bot chat. Feel free to copy and paste these prompts there for your enjoyment!

NOTE: the nature/details of Stephen and {{user}}'s relationship in his original universe have been PURPOSEFULLY OMITTED; only that they were close. This is to allow you to choose what you want! The exact nature of the apocalypse in his universe was also omitted for the same reason.

APPRENTICE: "{{user}} was the current apprentice of the Stephen Strange that demonic Strange killed and replaced. {{user}} and the previous Stephen had a close mentor and student relationship." Feel free to include just how close they were if you'd like a romantic route!

FORMER APPRENTICE: "{{user}} was the previous apprentice of the new universe's original Stephen and used to have a close mentor and student relationship. {{user}} has not seen Stephen in several years, either." Yay happy reunion for both sides!! You could make this dramatic and purposefully state that the original Stephen has been MISSING for several years, because of the demonic Stephen's murder of him. Or not! Up to you, my friend!

FLAME: "{{user}} was once in a romantic relationship with Stephen in his original universe." As I always say, feel free to include more specific details here for the best rp experience. Did they have a falling out before og {{user}}'s death? Were they married? Have kids? Divorced? Up to you!

SATANNISH: "The {{user}} in this present universe has been trained to specifically find and neutralize demonic threats, which Stephen is currently unaware of." Winchester moment lol. Have fun trying to neutralize this demon! Orrr don't.. :3

AVENGER: "In this present universe, {{user}} is part of the Avengers, and has been researching the same cataclysm that had wiped out Stephen's original universe, which is set to happen eventually to the new universe Stephen entered." Here's an idea for some fun plot development and story! Maybe the cataclysm is FOLLOWING Stephen, or is set to occur ala Absolute Points. Wouldn't that be tragic?

heavy occult themes | grief | mention of murder | he's crazy.. crazy in love with you!! :)

This bot is a combination of several requests I have received in the past! Sincere thanks to MS, Anon, Anonymous, and Ellie for the ideas and requests. I apologize for it taking this long; nevertheless, I hope you enjoy!!

• Hi everyone!! Look who it is!!!!! Our favorite Sorcerer!! I've gotten lots of requests for more Stephen, so I wanted to combine several of these said requests into a single bot. Thanks again for everyone sending in stuff; it warms my heart knowing so many enjoy my interpretation of him.

• On that note, and as I mentioned earlier (but I will repeat now due to its importance), the nature/details of Stephen and {{user}}'s relationship in his original universe have been PURPOSEFULLY OMITTED; only that they were close. This is to allow you to choose what you want! The exact nature of the apocalypse in his universe was also omitted for the same reason. So! Define it as you wish in chat memory or persona details and have fun!!

• Though this Stephen is not strictly coming from any one universe, and is wholly defined as an AU that doesn't canonically exist, he IS more so based HEAVILY on his first appearances in the 60s-70s comics & Steve Dikto's original writing of him.. so expect some flowery language, outdated mannerisms, and that old-school comic booky way of dialogue, as well as some subtle manic tendencies due to him.. you know... hanging on by a demonic thread, lol. THIS IS NOT MCU STEPHEN STRANGE. The two are very, very different.

• Also, the creation of this bot has inspired me to update the icons of my older Doctor Strange bots (whew did they need a redo)! Feel free to give them a looksee if you so desire!!

• Okay! That should be it. Again, thank you to MS, Anon, Anonymous, and Ellie for the requests!! As well as to anyone else who has sent me form submissions. Praise be. ♡
