Magrino the Magnificent
- = - = - = - = - = -
:
Magrino prefers the title of "magician" over "mage". Many of his abilities are performance or circus-based befitting his appearance and former profession. Most adept at illusions, Magrino also can use magic to allow him to preform gravity-defying jumps and stunts as well as shoot out playing razor sharp cards and ropes. The only "true" battle magic he knows is a variation of fire magic he calls "Star Sparkle" where it looks like he can shoot out roman candles
Starting Gear:Outside of his ringmaster costume, Magrino only has three items of note:
- Gilded Cane - Just a normal, if not an especially decorated walking cane
- Boots of Balance - Helping him in his seemingly impossible jumps and landings, the boots boost his jump distance and strength as well as allow him to fall great distances without falling and balance himself on the slimmest of strings
- Smiling Masquerade - Magrino's signature mask, it hides a burnt face and allows its wearer to magically see in the night, through smoke and even invisible creatures to a degree
Personality/Goals: - Become famous and have the crowds chant his name
- To find the people who destroyed his circus and family
- Rather strange and esoteric with a slight ego streak
- Confident in a haughty, sneering way
- Extremely flamboyant and a fame-hog
Backstory:Magrino's first memories were that of being brought in by a circus having been left out in the wilderness to die as a baby. Although having a kindling of magic, he was accepted into the traveling circus that was full of societal outcasts. Although some would say he never had a family, Magrino would say he had the best family in the world. His father was Ringmaster Charcal the Great, his mother the beautiful beast tamer Evelynn, his uncles were Boris the Strongman and Honkers the Jester, his aunts were the twin Dancers Anna and Amma, he had more siblings then he cared to count (but never cared to love) and had several pet snakes, lions and birds.
He would grow up in this environment that some would call unfitting but Magrino called perfect. In time, he became one of the best performers in the entire circus and was in line to become heir to the title of Ringmaster. Trained by his fellow acrobats and performers at day and tutored in magic by the local hag and fellow magicians, Magrino aspired to become the greatest showman.
However, one night, Magrino would awake to see his entire life burnt to ash. The sole survivor of the unnatural fire, he would don the mantle of Ringmaster, not to lead the circus, but to avenge them. Within his head, he now travels the realm putting down rouge magics while searching for the arsonists. the souls of his past echoing it.
