Character name: Paul Atreides
Character source: Dune Novels
Continuity: I am using the literary continuity (not film) and I think it would be best to pick him up pre-Water of Life but post Fremen training. Sometime after he has taken the name Muad'dib. At some point I’ll “awaken” him and have that whole thing happen. Don’t plan going as far as the Preacher or gola incarnations.
Character history: The son of Duke Leto Atreides and his Bene Gesserit concubine Lady Jessica. The Bene Gesserit brought Paul's parents together with the intention of producing an Atreides daughter; who could then mate with the heir to House Harkonnen, and produce the fabled Kwisatz Hadarach, or super-being. However, the plans of the Bene Gesserit sistherhood were thrown into disarray when Jessica, due to her love to Leto, gave a male heir to his House.
As the son of Duke Leto Atreides I, Paul grew up with a privileged background on the water-covered planet of Caladan, the ancestral home of House Atreides. Though he lacked companions his own age, he did receive tuition from his teachers, men like Thufir Hawat, Duncan Idaho, Gurney Halleck and Doctor Yueh, as well as education in Bene Gesserit methods and techniques from his mother. Shortly after his fifteenth birthday in 10191 AG, Paul's father revealed to him that Paul's training, through his teachers, had been geared toward turning Paul into a mentat. The theory was that when Paul succeeded his father as Duke of House Atreides, one of the most respected and moral Great Houses of the Imperium, a mentat-duke would truly be a formidable force in the Landsraad. Paul's latent talents also earned him the attention of the Bene Gesserit, who tested him with the Gom Jabbar as they hoped to salvage their breeding program through him.
Paul Atreides accompanied his parents when House Atreides was relocated to the desert world Arrakis to manage mining operations of the Spice Melange. However, when the deception of House Harkonnen and the Emperor Shaddam IV was revealed, he escaped into the desert with his mother and joined the Fremen. Upon joining the desert people he took the name Muad'Dib.
This experience, coupled with significant exposure to the Spice Melange triggered dormant prescient abilities within Paul's bloodline. These abilities, coupled with his leadership skills, his military training, and an ancient prophecy of the people of Arrakis, enabled Paul to become the leader of the formidable Fremen.

Stats:
ATK: 2
DEF: 2
SPD: 4
TEC: 2
Starting Proficiencies:
Physical Strength (1000)
Area Shield Proficiency (400)
Starting Powers:
Burst Movement (800)
Trained by his mother in the ways of Prana-Bindu, Paul can move quickly over short stretches of space. Known to some as "the Weirding Way", those skilled in it appear to move at unimaginable speeds. It appears to onlookers like closer-quarters teleportation. It functions by altering one's perception of reality, and thus mastery of the Weirding Way required a dramatic shift in one's concepts of both space-time, and cause and effect.
Foresight (1,500) (Pre-Awakened Kwisatz Haderach)
Though he has not awakened it, Paul has the potential genetic memory of all those who have came before him in his genetic line (known as "Other Memory"). Still, he has a degree of unrecognized prescience brought on by his exposure to the Spice Melange. He is aware of things within 20 feet of him (as is typical for foresight).
Starting Moves:
Crysknife (300 OM)
A sacred knife to the Fremen people, a crysknife is a tooth of a dead sandworm measuring about 20 cm. It is unparalleled in its sharpness, able to cut through body armor if wielded by a skilled fighter. A crysknife is fast, accurate, but lacks the range of a sword.
