NAME: Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden
CANON: The Dresden Files
POINT IN CANON: After "Skin Games"
AGE: Early 30's
APPEARANCE: Link. He's just under 7 feet tall and has short, dark hair. He usually wears jeans and graphic tees, along with his magic duster.
CANON HISTORY: Harry Dresden wiki
CANON PERSONALITY: Harry Dresden's speech is full of snark, with a health dose of snark. He is a sucker for a pretty girl, and is chivalrous to a fault. (i.e. opens door for ladies and is generally nice to them, pays for dinner). Two examples of this are nearly racing LT. Murphy to the door in Storm Front, and turning down the advances of a tipsy changeling in Cold Days. He will often get himself into (and out of) trouble by being a smartass, like patronizing Raymond the guard in It's My Birthday Too and then bad mouthing the black court vampire at the end of the same story.
Even with all of this he has always tried to do things for the greater good, even if it costs him. One example is Susan. He had a lover name Susan that produced a child, but Susan was killed by Harry in order to stop the Red court vampires from killing him and his family. This was the hardest thing Harry had to do in his life. Harry is still haunted by this, but has forgiven himself by the end of Skin Games.
He has a sharp analytical mind that he uses in his work as a P.I.
Beneath his hard ass sarcastic exterior he has a soft spot for animals, children, and women. Harry once protected a child from Nicodemus by taking a coin, a blackened Denarian, and keeping the baby from touching it. He even killed an entire race of vampires to protect his family. He got his dog, Mouse, after he stow away during a job. During said job he had to fight Monkey Demons throwing flaming poo at him.
He has problems asking for help from his friends. He hates putting them in harms way even if they do it themselves. He even gets short with them when they do. They will try to help, but he but heads with them when he thinks they are getting in over their heads.
Due to the Winter Mantle, he is quick to anger and sometimes rude and blunt, bordering on mean. He can control this but it grows stronger each time he uses it.
RELATIONSHIPS: He doesn't have that much family other than his daughter, half brother Thomas Raith and his grandfather Ebenezer McCoy. Thomas and Harry work well together and they had a good friendship, they treated each other like brothers before they learned they were brothers. Ebenezer was his teacher before he was a P.I. Ebenezer saved him from the Doom of Damocles. He respects his grandfather and fought beside him to save Harry's daughter in Changes. Karrin Murphy is his curent girlfriend but long time friend and ex-CPD dective for Specal Investigations. He has worked with her so often that he trusts her with his life. Molly Carpenter was his apprentice untill Changes, proving his love of teaching. He has a group of friends called the Alfas that are Werewolves. He games with them regularly and enjoys their company. He trustes them with his work and even seeks advice on cases. Butters has become a very close friend over time and is now a knight of the cross. His frequent wounds have put a strain on their friendship but they are still friends. Before Butters became a knight of the cross he worked as the medical examiner and their medic. His favorit hangout is a little place called McaNally's Pub.
ABILITIES: Harry has magic, and lots of it, specifically evocation and thaumaturgy. Evocation is the down and dirty magic: fire balls and shield spells, fast-cast, off-the-top-of-your-head stuff. For thaumaturgy, the easiest way to describe it is: as above, so below. If you do it in the small scale, you can get it to happen in the big, but it takes time and a lot of power. His tracking spell is thaumaturgy, but he requires a magic circle and a personal item of theirs (item in their possession, a drop of their blood, a lock of their hair) in order to cast it. He also has a "Murphy field", an anti-technology field in which anything made after 1940-ish will break down over time... some faster than others. Computers blow up, phones fry, and electronics generally don't like it. It was mentioned in Storm Front that Harry had fried a computer when he walked into Lt. Murphy's office. Since "Changes", Harry has taken on the mantle of the Winter Knight, which makes him extremely resilient to pain and boosts his ability to use magical ice and magic in general. Because it keeps pain from registering he can become a danger to himself by not getting injuries treated when they need it. It also boosts strength and speed temperately. The down side to the mantle is that the more he uses it the stronger it influence.
Harry can open up a portal to the “Nevernever” allowing him to travel log distances using the “Ways” or paths within the Nevernever. He has had training from the White Council on defense against mind magic, but it is just Defense, attacking is against the seven laws of magic. He also had Second sight, the ability to see things as the truly are, only in permanent ink. Once it is seen it can never be forgotten and can drive him insane.
INVENTORY; Spelled Duster, Blasting Rod, Rune carved Staff, 45 revolver and ammunition, Shield Bracelet, Kinetic force Rings (3)
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW?
All magic enchantments fade over time, normally with a sunrise. So he has to re-spell his duster every few days, but the rings are enchanted not to fade. The staff, blasting rod and shield bracelet are focus for his magic.
I'm willing to trade portals to the Nevernever for stationary portal creation, short range or mid range teleportation, and Dimensional senses. I'm also willing to trade Mental defenses for Psychic protection.

PROSE SAMPLE: Harry sat up from the floor and, bleary eyed, looked around. He blinked his vision clear and froze. This was not Karrin's room, nor was it a place he had ever been in before. The “floor” he was sitting on was really just his imagination. The world around him was akin to the night sky, with stars floating here and there.
Harry checked himself over in the darkness. He was in his duster with his rings and shield bracelet on his hands. In his right hand was his staff and in his left was his blasting rod. He felt the weight of his 45 in the pocket of his duster. This worried him as he looked at himself, he was dressed for battle.
The world around him hummed with power, almost like the Nevernever. The main difference was what was happening around him. Stardust zipped back and forth, but they seemed to be attached to something. Harry tried to focus on what was happening, but his mind was filling with sounds.
Voices echoed about inside his head, driving most of his thoughts out. The voices were not his.
Once he realized this he slammed down his mental defenses and started feeling out his attacker. Nothing malicious seemed to be out there, but he had seen many things that weren't “malicious,” could be malicious. The energies around him flowed like a normal place, only with more of it. It was then that he heard one of the voices power through his walls.
“It is safe,” it seemed to say. “We talk this way.”
“What are you, 'The Brood',” he quipped. “Is there any Raid around here?”
The voice calmly told of this world, how he was in Liminal Space and how it worked.
“So, you mean to tell me, that on the whim of some uber powerful cosmic 'Being', I was pulled from my warm bed, ripped from the arms of my new girlfriend, that took me way to long to get, to save a bunch of world from ultimate destruction and run around with others like me? Okay, it's 75 an hour and I need a thousand up front,” he replied. “Who do I send the bill to?”
