Name- Maybird Cross ("Macross" shortened)
Age- 20
Gender- Male
Race- Human
Personality- He prefers using his fists (and occasionally, feet) to take down his adversaries. He values efficiency and precision more than anything else, he loves seeing good plans through, and is willing to put even himself on the line if he deems said plan fool-proof. He is perfectly fine with being ordered around, to the extent of even sacrificing himself, as long as he sees the benefit in the other's plan, also, he will be fairly annoyed when someone ruins a perfect plan. Despite this, small-talk does not much irritate him, though he will speak in the shortest and quickest way possible when stating something. He also values good companions, and intelligent tacticians and will be loyal to them.
Appearance- He is 5'7" lean, but slightly muscular build, has an upright posture, short, black hair, and his eyes are brown.
Strengths- He is a quick thinker, and is agile so he makes for a good scout, he can also foresee or suspect if a trap is about, given his past experiences with dungeons and the like, but is not always able to disable them. In battle, he can dodge most attacks, and land quicker blows, especially with the help of his magic. His movements are light enough to not cause unnecessary noise. Lastly, he can clear obstacles fairly quickly, as he is a decently skilled free-runner, which aided by his magic make him more agile.
Weaknesses- Only using his fists, even with his magic, means he deals very light damage to larger opponents. He may be able to block blunt hits with his gauntlets and slashes with his barriers, but piercing attacks from none-projectiles break right through his defenses, directly damage him.
Powers- Maybird uses a lighter mixed variant of light magic and volatile fire magic, instead of outright blasting objects into oblivion, he uses his magic to enhance and strengthen his strikes, he can also use this to slightly propel himself in any direction by triggering a blast in the opposite direction, and sometimes he can create a temporary barrier that stops most projectiles and average strength attacks from medium sized opponents. The barrier's strength gradually decreases until it dissipates, taking damage decreases the barrier's strength more rapidly, it is strongest when it is first created, Maybird may use this trick to deflect heavier attacks and projectiles, although objects moving at a sufficient momentum and/or have sufficient size may outright break the barrier, but at least he is smart enough to just dodge such things. Lastly, since his blasts are made of both light and fire, his attacks are particularly potent against the undead and demons.
Equipment- Wears a set of light, matching, leather armor. He also wears a red, magic scarf that filters out toxins, the scarf is not overly long, as to avoid being unnecessarily caught, but is long enough to be snug around his face.
History-
Marick Rynie Cross was born to Demon Hunter and a Freelance Healer, raised in a small village. His first name was bestowed upon him by his father, the Demon Hunter and his second, by his mother, the Healer. His surname was just the product of his family's reputation being "holy." When his father and mother weren't working alone, they went and solved problems that even the local monastery could not handle. Although his mother wanted him to live a simple, peaceful life, she still taught Marick the basics of light magic, though he could never really grasp the concept of how to heal even the smallest of scratches. When he was eight years old, his father took Marick with him hunting imps and goblins, while simultaneously teaching him the concept of fire magic, but never how to cast any spells with them.
At age nine, Marick was alone at home as his parents were out working on a problem that the monastery received, the day passed quickly and the night arrived, his parents had still not come home and there was no news of them, he knew they were dead. After mourning and grieving the whole of the night, he gathered supplies and set out, by himself. Fortunately, his father gave him instructions on what to do in the situation that this might happen. He went to look for a friend his father met during his exploits when he was younger. After journeying for several days, he finally arrived, exhausted and hungry. The location was another monastery, he barely reached the steps since he collapsed, fortunately, the Monk inside came out so he saw Marick and took him in. Marick trained in unarmed combat until he was 14 years old, at which time, he bid farewell to the monk and went raiding bandit camps, caves, corrupted tombs, and eventually dungeons. He was known as a professional "Dungeoneer" at 18, had changed his name in honor of his fallen parents, and had completed several feats making him pretty much known throughout the land, one of these feats include pioneering a new magic dubbed energy magic, which combines light and fire magics, and through this time he has gotten information that a certain wizard was the one who killed his parents. These last two years of his life was spent trying to find his lair.
He finally found it, though he was caught off-guard, knocked out, and sent to his cell. He would palm his face if he could move his hands at all.
