[h1]Magnus Aristonias[/h1]

[u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 19

[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] They say the silent ones are strongest ones, if people are to be qualified by that, then Magnus is among the weakest persons alive. Loud to an almost annoying level and overly friendly, he'd be the last person you'd pitch even as a novice summoner if his skills alone wouldn't be enough to show it. Even during a fight, he will do his best in taunting and annoying his enemies, confident that his enemies won't be able to pass through his array of summoned creatures.

When it comes to talking with people outside of a battle, he is a bit quieter though no less annoying than before. Even so, he has shown to be quite persuasive when trying to be. Despite that, he has made many good friends, most of which were male. When it comes to women, he will almost always try to get into their dresses, no matter what the later consequences would be and thanks to this, he has become an enemy of most women everywhere.

[u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u]

"I owe all of my knowledge and skills to my master and now I will honor his memory by becoming a mage greater than he!"

Magnus was born as the third son of the Aristonias family a minor noble family in southern Edessa where all his needs and education were taken care of. His parents, were clearly favoring his two elder siblings, and often enough they almost forgot of him sometimes.

However, that's not to say that his parents did not care for him, not at all. At a young age, they had noticed that Magnus was oddly proficient when it came to magic and especially summoning magic. Seeing that, his parents hired a man renowned for his skill in the many branches of magic to teach their son whatever magic he desired. This man, with his loud manner of speech and pervetedness, became akin to Magnus' second father and almost instantly, the young boy started to emulate the behaviour of this new mage.

Due to being mostly a shut in and lacking in any social skills, Magnus never really tried to go outside and explore his surrounding. Instead, he preferred to keep indoors or in the courtyard of the small manor, practicing either his summoning skills or any sort of magic his tutor felt like teaching him. However, his tutor said that he had to go back home in the south of the Kingdom of the Welds and Magnus wanted to accompany. Of course, with his parents seeing him only as a waste, they gave him some money, two horses and some supplies and sent him off with Magnus, eager to get rid of both the mage and their useless son.

However, now that they were on the road and no longer had to follow the rules of the house, his master showed another side of him which had stayed in check during his stay at his parents manor. The man he revered proved to be an incurable pervert and as always, Magnus began to emulate this behaviour until he became as much of a pervert as his own master.

After a long and tiring journey all the way to the south of the Kingdom of the Welds, they had finally reached their destination, a small and unassuming village. There, he had to accustom himself to modest meals and waking up early to learn now from both his own master and his master's friend, who was also a skilled mage. There, he met a young and quiet girl named Row'tu, "daughter" and pupil to his tutor's friend. While at first he tried to hit on her as his master would, he soon talked to her like normal and became good friends with her. Despite eating more modest meals and having to work harder than usual, Magnus loved his new life.

... However, that changed completely when the Orcs invaded. Being woken up by his master, he was told to get up, grab whatever essentials he could, and to run away with his friend's pupil while dealt with the orcs, however before anything else, his master gave him his Ironwood staff and left towards the inferno to face the orcs. Magnus after getting ready, tried to find  Row'tu, however, she was nowhere to be found. So, mentally apologizing to his master, he took his two horses, the staff and some supplies he hurried north and back home to his own home...

However, as soon as he had entered Edessa, news came flooding that the region where his parents were from was completely torched and everyone killed. With a heavy heart, he joined a refugee caravan that would pass through the capital and head all the way to Ardel. They soon made it to the capital, but he and the caravan did stay there for long... They had heard that armies of Varyan Empire would soon descend on the capital and decided to travel into Ardel where they may be finally safe.

However, fate seemingly tried to bring Magnus down as he soon found the body of Row'Tu, who had collapsed from the exhaustion of the travels and died there on the road. With the caravan being on the move, he quickly buried her and promised on her grave that he would make the orcs and the soldiers of Varyan pay for everything.

So, with renewed energy, Magnus had turned back into the cheerful and perverted man he used to be, however, inside him, something had changed, something that changed his view on the world quite a bit.

[u][b]Skills and Abilities:[/b][/u]
[/center]
[color=9e0b0f]Professional Mage:[/color] Magnus while having potential in learning any sort of magic he desired, he showed a keen interest in summoning magic, preffering to let other creatures get their hands dirty instead of him.[hider=His spells and summoned creatures include...]
    [list]
    [*] [b]Summon Stone Golem[/b] - The strongest summoned creature he uses is the stone golem as not only is it a large and powerful creature, but it is also very useful as a living shield, should things get dangerous, as it can absorb stone from nearby areas to rebuild itself. However, like most summoned creatures, the golem draws a lot of energy from his own stamina and as such he can't keep even a single golem up for too long.
    [*] [b]Summon Stone Puppet[/b]- The creature he summons the most is the stone puppet. A roughly human sized and human shaped stone puppet, the puppet is quite resilient and can also deal quite a bit of damage. He can sustain up to four puppets for about 5 minutes before his stamina depletes.
    [*] [b]Summon Fire Puppet[/b] - As the stone puppet, this creature is about the same shape and size of a human. This puppet is capable of launching short bursts of fire and fireballs at enemies, however, not only does it depend on it's summoners stamina but they also need to consume flammable materials to keep themselves running.
    [*] [b]Summon Storm Puppet[/b] - This puppet, unlike the other ones, is made entirely of the air around them. While being a wind puppet, this creature not only is it capable of wind magic, but also weak lightning attacks used to knock back or stun enemies.
    [*] [b]Summon Water Puppet[/b] - More of a support puppet, the water puppet can use water to attack, or weak healing spells to heal their summoners or anyone they are ordered to.
    [*] [b]Summon Direwolf[/b] - This summoning spell can summon up to two direwolves to fight for him. Unlike the puppets or the golem, the wolves do not eat away at his stamina and instead stay for a set 10 minutes before vanishing way
    [*] [b]Elemental Bolt[/b] - He fires a bolt of either of the four elements at his enemies, with fire and stone being the strongest of the four.
    [*] [b]Chain Lightning[/b] - Probably the only other offensive spell he knows, Magnus casts and throws a lightning sphere at his enemies. This sphere travels and damages about 4 enemies before dissipating. When used in combination with a water attack, the lightning does a bit more damage.
    [*] [b]Orb of Light[/b] - A simple orb of light. Simple and easy to cast, Orbs of Light are about as basic as you can get. Due to the simplicity and low cost, it's possible to create so many orbs it's blinding not just to one foe, but to many. Row'tu can summon a single orb for hours without need for break, so long as no additional spells are used. 
    [/list]
[/hider]
[color=9e0b0f]Professional Persuasion:[/color] Magnus... amazingly can be very persuasive if he tries to, having been able to convince proeminent town merchant to give him a carriage for the little money he had on him, but thanks to his master's "teachings" he almost never tries to persuade people to his own point of view.
[color=9e0b0f]Novice Swordmanship:[/color] While nowhere near as good as in his persuasive abilities, on rare occasions, Magnus can actually wield a sword with some effect, though as he is mostly a mage, he almost never fights with a sword.

[color=9e0b0f]Journeyman Scribe:[/color] Magnus knows how to read, write and all that, as it was mandatory of him as the son of a noble, however, it has been quite a while since he has read or written so skills have decayed quite a bit.

[center][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u][/center]
[color=Burlywood]Summoner's Staff; Used:[/color] The staff his master gave to him on the day the village was attacked, not only does it make his job summoning creatures easier and expends less energy, but it also holds sentimental value as he hopes to give it back once he will meet with his teacher again.

[color=Burlywood]Short-sword; Old; Used:[/color] A shortsword given to him by his parents on the day he left his home, he has almost never used it as he preferred to use his magic, now it mostly acts as the sole reminder of his family.[/hider]
