[hider=Pharous Magni]
Name: Naukus (Mag) Magni

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Naukus is quite the happy man, who loves to revel in the wonder of magic. He can rarely be seen without a smile on his face, though, this wasn't always the case. His hair is short, messy and jet black, rarely taken care of or styled outside of the lazy trims he gives it to keep it short. His eyes are a deep navy blue, like sapphires, with veins of a deeper blue, all the way down to off-black. The hair of his face grows quicker than he cares to keep up with, so he always seems to have a frame of black stubble around his strong jaw line. His body is well built, evidence of his past as a hard-working miner, his appearance that of a linebacker. As opposed to his old style of dress (consisting of heavy miner's gear all day, every day), nowadays he's decked out in runes, form fitting leather-plate armor, and a variety of curious devices. 

Personality: Naukus isn't completely there. He's very happy, very aggressive, always smiling. He loves to tinker, and he's very smart, a true problem solver. He believes that he is truly a master artificer, and that he isn't totally human, that he is equal parts human, magic, and machine. To keep himself relatively sane, he believes fervently in his made up belief, the Zhu Zeal, the balance of the world. This is comparable to our Yin Yang, but also encompasses the dualities of Time and Space, as well as Light and Sound. 

Abilities/Weapons of Choice: The entirety of his skin is decked out in runes designed to collect ambient magic as he moves, funneling it to power his Drives, one on his chest and back. Those drives power the various devices he augments himself with, namely his tempered bronze boots that function like roller-skates, hovering on soundwaves so high that they're inaudible. Each hand is adorned with a gauntlet with two runes entwined, a light rune and a sound rune (this combo rune is the symbol he claims to be that of the Zhu Zeal), both fed from the energy if his Drive to allow him to manI plate light and sound freely as lon as theyre continuously powered. He wears a pair of modified welding goggles with light runes inscribed to overlay real-time energy levels and types over his normal sight, allowing him to see people and sources of magic through solid objects. Finally, he likes to use a collection of grenades, essentially reusable metal shells that explode a few moments after being triggered. They have mana stored within them beforehand, and there are two kinds that he uses; a flashbang style, and one that releases a destructive pulse of sound. The only personal magic he can use is healing magic, which he generally fuels with mana, but he can fuel with the mutagenic properties of Magic Waste, however, this is only for emergencies. The healing is incredibly potent, but dangerous. 

Bio: Naukus is the classic example of a second chance going horribly wrong. Having been a miner of Northfield for his whole life, he was driven to the brink by the monotony of his own life. He was an incredibly creative soul, an engineer at heart, but he could never find a way to get into the industry. Tinkering was his one joy, his backyard creations growing more and more refined as his obsession grew. When he discovered magic, his ideas truly blossomed. This was his second chance! Unfortunately, his addictive personality, alongside the infinite possibilities of magic drove him to an even greater obsession. He stopped showing up to work, supplementing his income by selling his new magical creations. He became a young artificer, a prodigy, if not all there. After a few years, his inventions grew less and less benevolent, from mana-powered food preservers to weapons of battle. People became discouraged, and stopped purchasing his wares. His newer clientele, those seeking weaponry fueled by magic, were not as plentiful as the common folk and the wealthier figures who purchased his domestic devices, and competition was strong. So, now he works to better his credentials, as well as the quality and understanding of the magic he works with, by attending an academy of magic. The only question is, will his normal aversion to people inhibit his ability to work well in this environment?
