--Magnaius-- "The death of a species is as inevitable as its evolution... I will pioneer the human extinction." --Magnaius stands about 6'2" and weighs 162lbs. His body is thin, long-limbed and somewhat sickly in appearance with ghost white skin and stooped shoulders, as if he is slowly wasting away from some internal disease. His hair is thin and unkempt, a chalky black with faint strips of white throughout: the product of constant stress and constant physical exhaustion. Magnaius often wears a long black coat and pants with small pieces of hardened black leather buckled around key weak points like the chest and knees, and will always be seen with a studded choker around his neck. His eyes are an icy gray, though one is constantly covered by a strange azure lens.-- [Name-] Alligen Magnaius [Age-] 82, though he appears no older than 25. [Sexuality-] Asexual ________________________________________ [Magic-] Disease Magic Magnaius knows of all things related to disease and ailment of the human body. His magic can wither limbs, create burning boils, and literally make the living flesh fall off the bone. However, his ability also extends to diseases of the human spirit: curses that cause uncontrollable sadness, weakness, or feelings of hopelessness in the unfortunate victim. [Current Guild-] None [Guild Mark-] None [Weapon-] The Eternity Eye A terrifying artifact of near unimaginable power: the Eye lets the wielder see into the future of all things. It was created a thousand years ago by a fearful and paranoid mage who sought to see into the future so that he might avoid his own demise. No bound was too great for him to get his answers and many cursed spells left his lips just as many innocent souls were drawn into his creation until finally the Eternity Eye was born. However, the creator did not expect the lens to become so powerful. When he witnessed his death, done in by his own hands, he was confused until the Eternity Eye began to show him the deaths of millions of people and creatures and places across all time and space. The visions were so terrifying that they drove him completely insane and he quickly ended his own life and fulfilled the artifact's terrifying omen. When activated, the Eye can cause untold devastation to what is caught in its projection by literally aging it hundreds or even thousands of years: wood warps, stones crumble, and bones turns to dust in the span of a few heartbeats. This requires an incredible amount of magic from the user and often leaves them with uncontrollable visions of the end of all things which can easily drive someone mad. Only dust and ash exists in the future of the Eternity Eye. [Personality-] Magnaius is quiet, thoughtful, and almost completely emotionless in his speech and mannerism. Though he sees and hears the people around him he feels no connection towards them, on even the most basic level, and so he often comes across as detached from the reality we all know. His mind is only on the end of all things, particularly the destruction of the human race which he sees as unavoidable and quickly approaching. The human experience, life and joy and wonder and learning, is a completely foreign concept to him and one that he cannot have for himself while remaining a slave to the Eternity Eye. [Biography-] Magnaius was born in a small jungle village and was raised by two loving parents and a supportive community. He learned of his aptitude for magic at a young age and was quickly apprenticed to the village healer from whom he learned about the intricate workings of the human body and spirit and the ailments of often troubled them. He was extremely gifted and sick people were brought from miles around so that he might heal them with his magic powers. This, however, brought many foreign diseases into the proximity of his village and one fateful night he met a man who even his exceptional powers could not cure. The disease spread quickly, faster than anyone could react, and within a week the entire village succumbed to infection and a horrifying death. Magnaius was the only survivor. This experience left him damaged and he wandered deep into the southern jungles in hopes of acquiring the power to overcome the fragile balance of life and death. What he found was the Eternity Eye: sealed away in a secret temple who's architect hoped would keep the evil artifact from ever touching human hands again. When donning the strange lens, it showed Magnaius that all things, life, humanity, and even the very earth itself, must come to an end. He was given a vision of the sun imploding, the earth itself being reduced to a scattering of empty rocks drifting through space, and even the end of the universe as it eventually collapses on itself. With this terrifying knowledge, the mage lost all his will to preserve human life and instead began seeking a way to end it all and stop the cycle of pain and violence that fills human history. Disease was the perfect delivery system toward this end for long had illness and plague sought to extinguish life on the planet and so he began to experiment with creating the perfect toxins to deliver a world-wide extinction. These experiments required test subjects and dozens of innocent villages were completely wiped out because of his powers while many people and guilds grew to fear him. After many years Magnaius used his knowledge to inflict disease on himself that actually worked to slow the aging of his own body, giving him a sickly appearance but maintaining his youth so that his experiments could continue past his normal lifetime. Most recently, Magnaius was discovered in Crocus, the capital of Fiore, where he was close to creating a disease that would threaten the cities entire population. He was discovered at the last minute and several Mage Guilds joined forces to strike against him before his nefarious scheme could be completed. In the battle, Magnaius activated the Eternity Eye and destroyed an entire city block, killing Atticus' parents and several of the mages who fought against him but in the end he was slain by some of the most powerful mages in the city. Or so they thought...
