Jonathan Sims is the Archivist, latest in a long line of servants of the god Thoth. He
recently inherited the position, and is adjusting to the new role. The Archivist is a living
recorder, driven to experience life and record the stories of others. The position goes back to the
Old Kingdom in Egypt, but the title was cemented at the Serapeum in Alexandria.
Jon himself is a psychiatrist, a British expat with a history of deaths among family and friends. He
doesn't think of himself as the heroic type, and tries to stick to the street level, but he's almost
always willing to help someone in need.

Personality
Click to expand.
Acerbic:
Outwardly, Jon can sometimes seem acerbic and abrasive. Some of this is learned, a product of
academic professionalism and English reserve. Some of it is a defense mechanism. Jon's perfect
recall combined with his kind nature makes him easily hurt, and so he puts on a kind of outer armor
of dry jokes, sarcastic comments, and practiced glares. Some of it, however, is just that however
kind and soft he might be, he can also be a smug, know-it-all bastard at times. His questions are
often sharp and pointed, and he relishes a good debate or chance for witty banter.
Compassionate:
Jon is, at his core, a kind and compassionate person. He is prone to worrying about people, both
individually and humanity as a whole. When he sees suffering he is moved to try to help, and is
often frustrated when he cannot. He is aware of his own weaknesses, which is why he chose to study
medicine and become a psychiatrist rather than try to be a hero. He will go out of his way to help
even those who have wronged him, though he'll need good reason to do so. He wants to believe the
best of people, and can forgive many things--though not everything. At home and with those he trusts
he is open and vulnerable, preferring smiles and comfort to any kind of prolonged brooding.
Curious:
Jon has always been curious, even before Thoth made "ask penetrating questions" a mission
statement for his life. He's always been prone to poking his nose in where it wasn't wanted, asking
awkward or too-personal questions, and spending too much time chasing down every detail of whatever
subject has caught his interest today. He loves puzzles and mysteries, and though he'll deny it he
really does love gossip. His recent elevation to the position of Archivist has only enhanced that
natural curiosity; where once he could maybe ignore the impulse to find out what's going on behind
closed doors or chase down some secret, now he has a mystic imperative to do so.
Stubborn:
Jon would say he is not a brave man, and in many ways he is not. He's not the type to volunteer
for heroics, and deliberately chose a life of the mind because any terrifying and dangerous event
will live with him forever. Jon is, however, very stubborn, and that stubborn nature has gotten him
into trouble. He will chase down leads to satisfy his curiosity and flout rules if it means sticking
to his own ethical principles. Once he gets his teeth into something he's not likely to let it go,
and he's been known to bring up old arguments a decade or more later.
Talkative:
Jon will talk your ear off if you let him. The particular term is "infodump"; he knows a lot of
random things about a lot of random things, and has a tendency to start talking about obscure trivia
and deep details of subjects at the slightest mention. Ask him a question and brace for an answer
that will include far more information than you really wanted--or maybe just as much as you really
wanted, if you like that sort of thing. He's learned to be a good listener, and is quite willing to
let others talk his ear off, too. Luckily for everyone around him, Jon has a good speaking voice.

Archivist Duties:
The Archivist is a position that has been passed down for generations and thousands of years, at least since the days of the Old Kingdom. The position was originally called "Watcher," and was created in the aftermath of the exodus of the homo magi. The title of "The Archivist" started in the last days of the Ptolemaic, when those who held the title served in the Serapeum of Alexandria.
The Archive was created by Neith, an ancient deity whose name was rarely spoken, at the behest of the Archangel Uriel. The Watchers and later Archivists were given in service to the gods of Duat--Anubis, Thoth, Ma'at, and Osiris. The original function of the role that would become the Archivist was to allow the gods to judge those who would not die in the normal course of matters. To that end, the Archivist's original duty was to take statements about the lives of those they encountered, storing them for later use, and they worked as temple scribes to further that purpose.
Over time, their duties changed and expanded, and now the Archivist's purpose is to serve as a living recorder. The first way they do this is by simply living, driven by insatiable curiosity to experience as much of life as possible, even dangerous and potentially deadly situations.
The second is by drawing statements out of the people they encounter. Some are unwilling, but many people find the chance to unburden their souls to be cathartic. The Archivist's telepathy allows the story to be told in a coherent and interesting fashion, and can easily serve as a kind of "monologue trigger." Jon's own work as a therapist is in some ways a subconcious attempt to perform this duty.
On their death, the Archivist's knowledge is sent to the Archive, a sort of library on the Astral Plane still tended by the spirits of prior Archivists. A good Archivist, one who throws themself into dangerous situations and collects many stories from others, will find themselves living longer, as they've been of more use to their patron.
Avatar of Ma'at:
Jon is able to merge with his patron deity, Ma'at, and transform into a direct avatar of her power for brief periods of time. There are several effects of this transformation:
* Enhanced Magic: Jon's magical ability and telepathy both increase in power while transformed. This does not allow him to do anything he's normally incapable of doing, but rather allows him to push his will and focus beyond his normal limitations.
* Enhanced Healing: Wounds Jon receives while in this form heal at an exponential rate, double his normal healing time (which is double the baseline human time, so quadrupled.)
* Wings: The transformation summons a pair of wings that Jon can use to hover and fly at decent speeds, along with the knowledge needed to manuever in the air.
* Portals: When in this state, Jon is able to create portals to other realms, by summoning a door and walking through. He is able to take himself to other dimensions, but can only send others back to their home dimension--thus, he could return a group from Hell or the Astral Plane, but not take them there to begin with.
* Ma'at's Feather: The Feather of Truth that Jon gains upon his brow allows him to show those from whom he has taken a statement the impact they have made on the world and on others. This may be a negative impact, such as a criminal feeling the fear and pain they've caused to their victims, but it may also be used to help people see the good they've done and the love others have for them.
There are a few drawbacks to this form. Firstly, for every hour Jon spends transformed, he must spend an extra hour sleeping the next night. Second, the longer he's transformed, the more Ma'at takes over his thinking. He can remain merged with her and somewhat himself for about two hours, before Ma'at will begin to completely take over. The transformation cannot last longer than twelve hours, after which time he will revert to baseline.
Dreams:
Jon has dreams of past Archivists, re-living their memories and stories they have gathered. These dreams are not available to his perfect recall, and act more as guidance from his gods and his ancestors than anything he can control. He has learned to lucid dream, and is able to ask questions and investigate the memories. He has a strong connection to the Astral Plane.
Jon also regularly re-lives statements he's gathered, cycling through them night after night. This is in some ways a weakness, as it means his dreams might wind up including re-living villainous monologues or his friends' and patients' stories of trauma and pain. It can be useful at times, however, as he's learned to control his dreams.
Fate Sense:
His ties to Ma'at allow Jon to read flows of fate, not so much seeing the future as extrapolating from the present based on probabilities. He can sense the easiest path through a maze, or the potential outcome of a battle, though not with perfect clarity. Things that are pre-ordained are stronger and more obvious, and the more he knows about a subject, the better he can predict its flow. This power is much stronger when he's transformed into a true avatar of Ma'at, and much muddier when he's just himself.
Language Understanding:
The Archive gives Jon the ability to comprehend, read, and write any human language. He cannot necessarily speak these languages. The Archive provides the ability to speak only languages former Archivists have spoken. This includes several ancient languages like Egyptian and Aramaic; European language families; and several dialects of Arabic. He has a middling ability with Cantonese and Mandarin. Jon himself also speaks Hindi and Marathi, but outside of these major cities he is very unlikely to be able to speak with rare rural dialects.
Magical Ability:
Jon is able to pull constructs from the Astral Plane onto the physical, imagining them and then willing them into being, which is about as difficult as it sounds. It's draining, particularly for attempts to manifest complex items or things that go against his usual nature. Water, healing, purification, and order are all easier and more natural to him than fire, destruction, pain, and chaos. Channeling the power through word or gesture or magical instrument makes it easier, but it's still an effort of will and imagination.
This ability is only limited by his imagination, and yet bounded in by it: for instance, he can summon doors to act as portals to far-flung places in the material realm, though he must know precisely where he's going. His ability to heal is both helped and restricted by his medical knowledge; his healing ability acts to speed up natural healing, and leaves scars. He tends to think in terms of elements or music with his magic.
Jon also has the mystic Sight, able to see spirits and ghosts, magical constructs, the Astral Plane, and other such things. As this is one of the primary duties of the Archivist--to see, know, and experience--his Sight is expansive and able to pick up on most mystical events; whether or not he /understands/ what he's seeing is another question. (He cannot, for instance, understand Enochian script even if he can See it. And it would probably give him a headache.)
He 'sees' many things on a regular basis, such as spirits and obvious magical residue. With a moment to focus and 'open' his Sight, he can See a great deal. What he Sees might be overwhelming or dangerous, and due to his perfect recall will stick with him forever.
Perfect Recall:
Jon remembers absolutely everything he has ever seen or heard, since about the age of eight.
Recalling this information can take a moment, as he enters a brief trance to re-live the memory. If
this is done deliberately, he can pick out details he hadn't consciously noticed. When the
information comes up without being under his control, he will be seized by the desire to re-live the
entire memory or relay the entirety of the pertinent information, though he can be stopped, and may
be able to learn to stop himself. He will often write down what he's experienced regardless in order
to keep a record and keep from having to enter trance in order to remember.
Phlogiston Body:
Jon merged with a goddess after his return from the dead. His new body is a construct held together by his and Ma'at's combined will. He's resistant to infection and disease. He can regenerate from most damage, but particularly noteworthy or meaningful injuries (such as his missing arm) may not ever heal.
His body does not shed hair, blood, or skin cells. Samples taken from him will persist only as long as some willpower sustains the missing parts. His scent is distinctly different, and his aura brighter than a mortal's. He still has a heartbeat. Sustaining his harmony requires him to eat and drink, and substances such as alcohol and nicotine still affect him. Hunger and thirst are more metaphysical concepts to him now and he is better sustained by godly ambrosia than human foods.
Telepathy:
Jon is a mid-range telepath. Most of his abilities are focused around gathering information, and almost always rely on being within sensory range of the target. His telepathy works at a distance through phone calls and video, again relying on his senses rather than true distance. He can read minds on a surface level and slightly deeper, read emotions, and can project both thoughts and emotions at others. He cannot modify memories in any way, nor can he dig into deep thoughts or tell if someone's lying unless he extracts a statement.
* Statements: Jon can enter a trance state in which he can extract a statement from a place or person. The story of the statement must be one of deep emotional resonance, and is not the truth of what happened but rather the version of events that the person whose perspective he is taking believes is true. If the subject is not around, Jon will go into this trance and narrate the statement in the first person; if the subject is around, they will find themself compelled to give their statement to Jon, who will experience it along with them as if he had experienced the events himself. Jon is very irritable if distracted from this trance, and will do almost anything to finish a statement that is interrupted.
Skills

Collecting:
Jon collects various things. Old books, currency, odd rocks. Aside from knowing details of what
he collects, he has experience tracking down odd items and haggling prices and the like.
Cooking:
Jon is a very good home cook, and the sort of person who spends money he probably shouldn't on
high-end cookware he doesn't really need. Cooking is one way he takes care of people, though, and
while it's not Michelin star quality it's good. He prefers hearty foods but has been known to
experiment with desserts.
Egyptology:
Jon's grandmother, the former Archivist, instilled a love of Egyptology in him at an early age.
He knows a /lot/ about... well, he knows a lot about what the modern world knows about ancient
Egypt. His knowledge might be entirely wrong.
Medical Doctor:
Though Jon does not have the post-doctoral training that even a GP would have, he /is/ a medical
doctor, liscened to prescribe medicine in three states. He understands biology and anatomy and could
respond to emergencies if need be. He's not an expert in any of those things, but could be called
upon in a pinch.
Psychiatry:
Jon is a licsened psychiatrist, with permission to practice in New York, New Jersey, and
Delware, though he mainly works in New York City. He trained at Columbia, which is one of the top
schools in the world for the discipline. His particular specialty is in PTSD and other conditions
resulting from trauma. He favors a "holistic" approach, as likely to prescribe exercise or art as he
is to give his patients medications. He has been practicing since 2017, and his practice became very
busy in 2018 in the aftermath of Loki's attack on the city. His training helps him in social
situations as well; he understands human behavior, and has training in crisis management and de-
escalation.
Religious Scholar:
Jon has long had interest in religious history and doctrine, starting with his upbringing as an Anglican and branching into every major religion around the globe. He's studied theology and psychology of religion both, has memorized many religious texts, and has at least passing knowledge of many minor faiths.
SHIELD Training:
Jon has SHIELD training appropriate to his rank. He's been working on physical training and conditioning, hand-to-hand skills with a focus on throws and avoiding blows, and marksmanship. He's also learning the sorts of things that go with working for a covert agency such as espionage, stealth, tactics, and military operations.
Theater Nerd:
Jon has enough of a passion for the theatre that he actually considered majoring in it briefly.
He's been in shows in secondary and university, he even had a theatrical cabaret band for a time in
Oxford. He's done amateur shows from time to time since. He can sing and dance, and he's a good
actor.
Resources
Click to expand.
Financial:
Between savings and his work for SHIELD, Jon makes enough to live without worrying about bills, and still has enough to donate to charity and the like.
SHIELD Armory:
Jon's rank in SHIELD affords him appropriate access to their arsenal of weapons and armor most of which he has had at least cursory training in how to properly use.
The Archive:
The Archive is a store of knowledge that exists both on the metaphysical (Astral) plane and the physical plane.
The Astral version of the Archive is something like an actual library, filled with the statements and memories of past Archivists. It is difficult to find and heavily guarded, but also difficult for the Archivist to access outside of dreams or Astral travel. For the most part, the knowledge kept in the Astral version of the Archive comes to the Archivist as it will.
The physical Archive includes recordings, both auditory and written, of statements and experiences of past Archivists. It also includes a store of magical artifacts, most of them dangerous items found in the course of the Archivists' lives. As Jon finds the pieces of the physical Archive, he will be given them over to SHIELD for safekeeping.
Weaknesses
Click to expand.
Addiction:
Jon has an obsessive sort of personality, and is addicted to both caffeine and cigarettes. He
knows there's an irony there, given that he's a medical doctor, and it's made him sympathetic to
those who medicate their problems with substances. Cigarettes are one of the few things that can
help calm him after a particularly bad intrusive memory, and he finally gave up trying to avoid
smoking after Loki's invasion of New York.
Ascended Mortal:
Jon's soul has been changed by his death and he is no longer truly mortal. He finds it difficult to be as adaptive as mortals are, and the concerns of mortals are increasingly less intuitive for him. He's driven by motivations that are in keeping with his Harmony--to seek out new information, to investigate mysteries and unravel secrets, to help bring others and the universe into balance. He must do these things as much as he must eat and drink, or he will start to lose his power.
Moreover, the Archivist is a known quantity in the supernatural world and has to contend with his own enemies as well as Ma'at's. Even people with no interest in the Egyptian gods might want to steal some flesh from Ma'at's personal demigod.
Cult Survivor:
Jon was sucked into a cult in college, the Eye of Ra. He is susceptible to emotional manipulation and isolation, and vacillates between being too trusting and too wary of new people. He's also prone to obsessions and behaviors learned during his time in the cult, particularly when he doesn't understand something. A true mystery can lead him down a dangerous and potentially self-destructive spiral as he tries to unravel it.
Ib (Heart):
Jon will do just about anything in his power to help the people he cares about. He's overcome significant threats and barriers to help friends and family. Threats to their safety are the quickest way to manipulate him, although he'll react in anger more than fear. He'd rather talk someone down than engage in a fight, and he's willing to become friends with just about anyone, even--maybe especially--former enemies. Fighting is his last resort.
This is also a quite literal weakness: the heart is the seat of the soul in ancient Egyptian theology. A significant blow to the heart would likely kill him. Even if his body could be re-formed, there would be permanent damage of some kind, memory loss or personality change.
Intrusive Memories:
Jon's perfect recall has a major drawback--he remembers every terrible thing that has ever
happened to him. The memories are prone to coming upon him when triggered, sending him into his
trance state and forcing him to re-live the memory. That was why he left England--too many things
reminded him of lost friends and family. He's become more used to it now, better able to recognize
the triggers, but for Jon time does not soften memories or heal mental wounds. The pain is still
there as fresh as the day it happened.
Ma'at:
Jon must abide by the seven ideals of /mat'at/: truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality, and justice. There is a natural order to the universe, and the Archivist is meant to help uphold that order. He must avoid spreading chaos, defend the poor and weak, remain loyal to his friends and associates. Balance is key, respecting the ebb and flow of life.
As an avatar of Ma'at, Jon /cannot/ violate many of these principles. He cannot lie, and he finds himself unable to act in ways that would bring him too far out of balance or harmony with his purpose.
Recording:
Ironically enough for a "living recorder," Jon has begun to experience a compulsion to record his experiences and statements. This is linked to the Archivists' original work as temple scribes, and serves as a physical backup in case of mystical destruction of portions of the Archive. If he doesn't record on a regular basis, he gets irritable and tired, much like with statements.
Statements:
If Jon does not receive new statements on a regular basis--about one a week, at least--he begins to go through a sort of withdrawal. He gets fidgety and irritable, then tired and drawn, and eventually might be driven to seek out new statements over almost anything else.
