This is just an idea I have been tinkering with. Let me know what you all think about it.
Planeswalker Gothic
Prologue
For me it all started when I found a pack of cards lying on the table in my living room. At first I hadn't even noticed them as they were just cards, but when my brain had fully woken up I'd wanted to see what they were as I'd had never seen them before then, and no one had visited me recently so they couldn't have belonged to a friend of mine. So I'd put down my cup of coffee and knelt down by the table to get a closer look.
Upon inspection I had discovered that they weren't the kind of cards that you could play poker with, they were more like Tarot cards only they were smaller and blank on one side. The other sides of the cards were not blank they all had the same symbol on them. It was a cross between an eye and a spiral galaxy. What it meant I hadn't a clue, but it had a power about it like some symbols could.
There were forty in total and as I looked them over I discovered that they weren't actually blank as I'd thought. There was very small writing on each card and the outline of some cards were a different colour than others.
ITEM CARD
LAND CARD
MINION CARD
SPELL CARD
There were ten of each making forty in total and I assumed that they were for some sort of game and that you were suppose to fill them yourself or maybe place a token on them.
I was just about to put them in a draw when I noticed a card that was unlike the others.
Planeswalker Gothic
The word 'Planeswalker' had rung a few bells, but the details had escaped me at the, however this hadn't been a problem as that was what the internet was for.
That was when I had picked up the card and everything changed.
Suddenly I knew things. I understood how to traverse the omni-verse, how to access any reality that I could picture in my mind how to walk to any plane of existence. As easily as most people walked across a room I could cross the void between universe.
Also I then knew how to use the cards. They could store things I decided to take, unless they were somehow protected. The Item Cards were for holding items, the Land Cards contained places, the Minion Cards safely stored people and the Spell Cards held spells.
Physically I changed as well. I was no immortal, and could only be harmed by beings who power neared my own. I would not age or get sick and while I could eat and sleep I didn't real need to as the power, which I knew to be called a spark, would be alive and well. Also I learned that I had vast amounts magic to call upon. I could cast any spell I wished as long as I went to the trouble to learn it first.
All this meant I could anywhere I wanted and take anything I pleased, and then use as I saw fit. I could even take people, with their consent, and store them in these cards. When I didn't want to carry around a person or thing with me I could let them out and even replace them if I so wished. Even without the cards I could still become a great sorcerer, and there was nothing stopping me from just grabbing small things and putting them in my pockets.
So from that point on I had god-like abilities and there was only thing I could ever do with that can of power; use it.

Let me know what you think in a message.
The cards are important to the story as while they might see to limit what Planeswalker Gothic can do they are actually useful.
Spell Cards
They hold spells so if say if Voldemort, who is a powerful magical being, was to fire the killing curse at Planeswalker Gothic and he had a blank spell card then spell would be held in the card. Then he could use against someone. Also he can cast spells on them that benifit people. so say he wanted to heal someone but no spells in that world can do it, he could go somewhere have the cleric cast the spell on the card then go back to the other world and heal that person.
Item Cards
They hold items. Magical stuff. Advanced Tech. Items held in the cards can not harm anyone and only the Planeswalker can remove them. To free up new cards the item can be stored somewhere else. (like a base) or the card can be merged with a Minion card so that object become part of their equipment. Items can be protected from being held in the card if they are say like the Sword In The Stone.
Land Cards.
This are like the other cards only they hold places rather than items, spells or people. Also places like say Wonder Woman's home Paradise Island can be stored as that place had the protection of the Greek gods. And places like the Men of Letters Bunker in Supernatural has mystical defences. As Planes walker Gothic grows more power he will be able overide those sort of defences. But would attract the attention of gods and might get Planeswalker Gothic in trouble with the local Powers That Be.
Planeswalking.
This Gothic can traverse the void to access other realites at will.
Magic.
Planeswalker Gothic has vast magical powers but he will still need to actually learn spells.
Techology.
His magic doesn't effect technology so there's no reason for him not to carry a gun or even drive a motorbike just for the hell of it.
