Name:
Magnus Gyre
Gender:
Male
Age:
20
Birthday:
January 1st
Sexuality:
Straight
Special Characteristics:
Magnus has many tattoos and scars over his body as a result of his upbringing. The tattoos are mostly tribal in appearance, except for one running as a coil up his right arm - this tattoo recites the initials of all those he beat in battle, written in the tongue of his ancestors.

Personality:

"A promise is a promise - even if you're drunk or beaten half to death when you make it, you fulfill it."

It's easy to believe that a man of Magnus' stature and background is nothing more than a neanderthal or an oaf. In some ways that belief is not far from the truth, but there is significantly more to the man than that. While his behaviour around women leaves much to be desired (he believes himself to be quite the romantic and is incredibly brazen around them), he is a man of principle and, perhaps most curiously, honour. While he wishes to better himself as a mage, Magnus would never attempt to do so through lies or through putting himself before others (with exception to combat scenarios of course). He is honest to a fault, perhaps going too far with his honesty on numerous occasions and getting himself into more trouble than he would have should he have lied. It is plausible that his sincerity is what women actually find attractive about him, rather than his not-quite-so-smooth words or his admittedly chiseled and refined abs.

Behind Magnus' sincerity is his need for battle. Should anyone oppose him he will immediately get them to back their words up in the only way he knows how - by punching them in the jaw and seeing how they react. If they fight back, even if it's a feeble attempt to do so, then he considers their opposition as a genuine response to his own thoughts. Otherwise they're just a waste of time. It's worth noting however that he doesn't just fight to get his point across. He doesn't need any excuse to get someone in a headlock or to pick up the little guy and fling him effortlessly across the room. He simply enjoys a good brawl.

Brawling is very different to actual combat though, and Magnus' usually oaf-like demeanour disappears in the blink of an eye should things turn serious. He will fight to the last, giving his all no matter what the strength of his opponent might be - the stronger they are, the stronger he'll get as a result. He is not a great leader for battle due to his tendency to get lost in his lust for combat, particularly if he finds a strong opponent. However, working under a leader is perhaps the best role for him (surpassing even his role as a solo-combatant). He takes his orders seriously and will actually pass on a fight for those orders should they require him to act on them and carry them out immediately.

All in all Magnus is a man with a big heart to match his big body, but with a mentality driven by his background. He stands firm with his beliefs and will protect those he cares for with every fibre of his being. When he makes a promise he does his utmost to deliver upon it, as failure to do so would destroy him as much as it would hurt the person he made the promise to. On the other hand, don't piss him off or attempt to harm those around him or he will charge first and ask questions later. Or never, whichever suits him at the time.


Likes:
– Fighting is in Magnus' blood. He was raised in a tribe where being the strongest meant everything.

- Food keeps Magnus' strength up. Meat in particular is a great source of strength (or so he believes).

- Alcohol. Before Magnus was exiled from his tribe at 17 he had never touched alcohol. Upon travelling to Fiore he unwittingly indulged in the liquid and, while he doesn't remember what happened after that, he does remember waking up to several attractive ladies in his room and a sense of belonging...not with the ladies, but with the land and lifestyle he now would call his own.


Dislikes:
- Cowards infuriate Magnus. If you say you're going to fight for something, you fight for it. Otherwise just keep your mouth shut.

- Liars are just as bad as cowards. As such, don't expect Magnus to hold back should you ask for his opinion on something.

- Sweet foods are just wrong. They give energy for such a short amount of time that by the time Magnus has just gotten started the energy is gone.


Motivations:
- To be the strongest mage in the world. He knows he's powerful but he feels something is holding him back.

- To dismantle his tribe single-handedly. The elders cast him out rather than made him leader and that's pissed him off.

- To find a true 'home'. He knows Fiore will be his homeland, but he doesn't know where in Fiore he would truly feel comfortable.

Fears:
– Losing his 'mojo', whatever that means.

- To be completely destroyed in battle.

- To hurt someone he cares for.

General Appearance


Height:
6'7"

Weight:
265lbs

Hair:
Magnus' hair is extremely long and untamed, reaching down to his waist and generally just allowed to grow however it so pleases. It is silvery-grey in colour that turns progressively green in hue as it reaches the tips.


Eyes:
Blood Red

Skin Tone:
Lightly tanned

Appearance:
Magnus is a broad, towering man whose body screams sheer power, and he's not afraid to show it off (hell, it's worth it for the reactions of the ladies). His clothing of choice is often a pair of steel plated boots and simple padded trousers, giving decent protection without restricting his movement. He usually will not wear anything on his top half unless the occasion absolutely requires him to do so.
