NAME: Magius

JOURNAL: [insanejournal.com profile] magius

PLAYED BY: Anthony Stewart Head

FANDOM: Dragonlance

CANON POINT: After death

CAN THIS CHARACTER BE CANON PUNCTURED? For more information on this game's puncture system please see this page. Yes

CANON HISTORY: This can be in your own words or from a wiki. Please make sure if using a wiki it's not the tl;dr version and something more friendly like the wikipedia version.

Magius was close friends as a boy with another boy called Huma. They argued, but liked each other. Huma went on to become a Knight of Solamnia, and Magius dreamed of magic instead. Magius was arrogant, and one to experiment with the ragged edge of magic, leading him to ever greater heights of knowledge, but also causing him to wonder about abandoning the paths of High Sorcery.

However, instead, he continued his studies with greater enthusiasm, and was a true master at a young age at magic, leading to him taking the Test of High Sorcery early. During the Test, Magius was shown the one thing he was unable to accept, the details of how and when he would die in the future. This death scene was an illusion designed to make Magius more humble, but instead, it drove him to believe in it and to reject the way it happened.

He did pass the Test and first wore the Black Robes, selfish and utterly devoted to self-service and wanting only his own gain. Eventually, he found himself growing more open to people, and took up the Red Robes,and tried to find a way to prevent his prophesied death. When he found himself hemmed in by the orders, he turned away and abandoned the orders of high sorcery, and became a renegade to find more power. He sought out a renegade who might teach him more, but eventually clashed with him, one Galen Dracos and they parted on evil terms.

Magius became a man who sought magic to save himself, but he also helped others, a little, sometimes. Magius found himself lost in greed and avarice, even to betraying his friend, Huma. When Huma was saved, Magius dedicated himself to Huma and strove to help him and to stop the devastation of the Dragon war they were in. Magius and Kaz, another friend of Huma's, were driving a wagon containing a great weapon against the evil dragons known as the dragonlance when they were attacked. Magius strove true and honestly, using the limits of his magic, but though he succeeded and even saved Kaz as well as the dragonlances, he was captured.

In the end, it turned out to be Galen Dracos who was the one who captured him, now a servant of Takhisis, the Dark Queen of Evil, the goddess who was in control of the evil side of the Dragon War. Galen tortured Magius, who had a revelation in those darkest hours, and, with it reverberating in his soul, chose to dedicate himself to good. The Gods of Light chose to honor him and turned his robes white to show his true path. He was slain by Galen Dracos as a lesson against good, but his example led to wizards, for a time, being granted more respect.

IN GAME HISTORY: This should be much more detailed than the canon history. We need to believe that your character has always existed in this game, just like your character does. Magius has always been an overachiever, but a quiet one. He was always the man who was kind and helpful to others, even as he studied everything he could get his hands on. He was mostly interested in medicine, though, and he spent a great deal of time studying medicine. In medical school he started as a general practitioner and achieved his medical degree in that path. But he did not leave medical school. Starting work, he kept pushing himself and pursued training in emergency medicine, surgery, pathology, neurology, genetics, podiatry, pediatrics, radiology, obstetrics, and gynecology, as well as geriatric medicine, and internal medicine disciplines. By the time he was 50, he had managed to subsume these disciplines and a few more. Unwilling to ever stop learning, he has begun studying veterinary medicine on the side.

He currently works out of Sunburst Medical Clinic, most of the time, with a few volunteer hours at Irvine General when he has the chance. He prefers the clinic however, for he likes to work with people, and be there, face to face, with time to help them and be a doctor, not just another face in the crowd.

His passion for people and for medicine, and for learning about both have driven him all of his life, ever since he lost his family to an outbreak of Tuberculosis. He rebuilt his life from this, and formed a new family, with a wife and child, only to lose his wife to old age, and his child to the normal growing up and moving out of life. Now he is alone, and a workaholic and learnaholic as always, and he strives to ever learn more and help more people.

During the Robot attacks in San Francisco, he was there, and ended up performing field medicine where he could. And of course, he ended up working through the Blue Shadow Virus, one of the few who did not catch it, even among his fellow doctors.

AUDITION


Please provide a 1st or 3rd person example of the character you are applying for.


Seems like the thing to do these days is post on one of these blogs, or networks, and talk to people here. Somehow, it doesn’t feel quite the same as talking in person, to me, but that might be my age showing. Either way, hello to all.

My name is Magius, and I am a doctor at Sunburst Medical Clinic. My colleague there kept mentioning this place as an interesting read, and since I do rather love reading, I decided to give it a go. Seems a bit chaotic sometimes, but what doesn’t, these days? But you mostly seem like a nice bunch, so I hope to enjoy a few chats on here between work and studying.

Now, does anyone by chance know of a good stable around and about? The one I used most recently is shuttering its doors and my horse Silvanus needs a good place to stay.
magius_unlocked: (Are You Mad?)
To be so lost is a strange thing. I am adrift, unlocked and unmade it seems like. I am cast away from my world, lost to it, and in the wake of such, not sure where I should be, or what. I am a wizard, but what do I do when the gods I serve are far away, and the world I know is hidden to me. I do not know.

My magic is yet strong, but this world seems to bend it, to break my intent and purpose and make it somehow less. What do I do when even that which I know best revolts? I must find a way to adapt, for there are others here who need my help. I will not be left helpless and alone by my inability to act.

And I ever again will let another suffer when I can address it.

I am Magius the White, wizard of high sorcery, servant of Paladine, and I will stand against the darkness.

Character Info
Fandom: Dragonlance
Name: Magius
Age/Birthday: Looks fifty, is north of 100/942AoR
Species: Human
Sexuality: bisexual
Personality: Magius is a man who has found himself. Through suffering, and through seeing how evil seeks only self-aggrandizement, he has literally had his eyes opened to the darkness of the world, and of being selfish. While not a man who is completely selfless, he is newly dedicated to the service of the common man, and to helping those in need. His change of spirit was so great that the Gods of Good chose to send a visitation upon him while he was in durance vile, and his robes changed to shimmering white as a sign of his dedication to Good.

He believes that magic holds the key to helping people and to improving life, and has dedicated his life to learning more and more magics. He has been a scholar, as a result, and something of a treasure hunter, for spell components do not come cheap. He has little in the way of knowledge of how people act around one another, or social graces, as he has been a recluse and a shut-in with magic and studies most of his life. Only recently did he open his eyes and heart, and find more, which, ironically, led to a renewed sense of purpose, and his near-death. Being rescued from that place will give him a chance to explore his newfound feelings and purpose.

- anything from here - http://magius.insanejournal.com/805.html

- Or from these sources - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dragonlance_characters#Magius and http://www.librarything.com/work/17275

- Magius loves dragonsteak, but never admitted as Dragons are a sentient race in his time.

- he was always jealous of Huma, both for his prowess in battle, and for his looks. and for his destiny.

- Magius has spoken to his Gods. he has incontrovertible truth of their existence, and has felt their presence. Anyone who wishes can have their character access what it feels like to be in the presence of one of his Gods of good. Paladine, the Platinum dragon and wizard, Mishkal, the healer, and Solinari, god of good magic.

- Magius can feel magic around him and in him all the time. To a lesser extent, he can sense other power sources and other kinds of magic as well.

- Magius' greatest regret is that he never was able to save the people of Parma, a village overrun by dark dragons and goblins. He was too slow, and too arrogant, and he underestimated his foes. The shock of knowing he had failed them drove him even farther from being a normal wizard.

- Magius has had sex only once, and even then, it was tentative and not fun.

He would present an odd sight indeed to those who saw him, with white robes all shimmering in the light, with a belt with pouches handing from it, which seemed to bulge. A dagger was sheathed on one side of his belt, and the staff in his hands was darkest mahogany, all the way up it's six foot height, until the end, where a brass dragon's claw was attached to the top, clutching an orb of purest crystal. To one who could feel it, or sense it, he would almost emit a sense of good, a kind of aura that was his own true self. His age, now above his hundredth year, would make him look somewhere around 50-ish, and very fit. Running for one's life, adventuring, and cooking, chopping wood and all yourself keeps one in very good shape.

Personality: Magius is a man who has found himself. Through suffering, and through seeing how evil seeks only self-aggrandizement, he has literally had his eyes opened to the darkness of the world, and of being selfish. While not a man who is completely selfless, he is newly dedicated to the service of the common man, and to helping those in need. His change of spirit was so great that the Gods of Good chose to send a visitation upon him while he was in durance vile, and his robes changed to shimmering white as a sign of his dedication to Good.

He believes that magic holds the key to helping people and to improving life, and has dedicated his life to learning more and more magics. He has been a scholar, as a result, and something of a treasure hunter, for spell components do not come cheap. He has little in the way of knowledge of how people act around one another, or social graces, as he has been a recluse and a shut-in with magic and studies most of his life. Only recently did he open his eyes and heart, and find more, which, ironically, led to a renewed sense of purpose, and his near-death. Being rescued from that place will give him a chance to explore his newfound feelings and purpose.

Skills/powers: Magius possesses the inbred ability to wield magics of various kinds. He also possesses the trained ability to touch any source of magic and use it to cast spells. The method of spellcasting he has learned involved studying a spell pattern laid down in a book or scroll and memorizing it. Then he uses the words and components to cast a spell.

The staff he bears also possesses several inborn powers, including, at command, the ability to melt locks(including magical ones), a hitting force equal to that of a large boulder, the ability to float a holder from a great height gently downward, the ability to bring light or darkness, the ability to shock anyone who is not the chosen user with a severe shock, and even to drive them insane, and the power to temporarily remove pain from one who is suffering. In addition, it can store spells. At this time, it has Fireball, lightning bolt, and web stored in it. The staff's powers can be activated remotely by will, and the staff can be called to the wielder's hand by will.

One of his pouches is a pouch of holding, which is capable of holding up to a storeroom of 10' x 10' worth in it.

Magius' dagger also grants him a slightly higher level than normal of attack and damage power.

Personality: Magius is a man who has found himself. Through suffering, and through seeing how evil seeks only self-aggrandizement, he has literally had his eyes opened to the darkness of the world, and of being selfish.

Death: Tortured to death

Abilities & Talents: Magius possesses the inbred ability to wield magics of various kinds. He also possesses the trained ability to touch any arcane source of magic and use it to cast spells. The method of spellcasting he has learned involved studying a spell pattern laid down in a book or scroll and memorizing it. Then he uses the words and components to cast a spell. On his homeworld of Krynn, he also taps into the magic of his Gods to perform greater magics. In this new world, he is blocked from that, allowed only the lower levels of spells. Without access, he will have to learn how to tap into other sources of magic, and use other kinds of magic, reinventing spells, or adopting new ones.

The staff he bears also possesses several inborn powers, including, at command, the ability to melt locks(including magical ones), a hitting force equal to that of a large boulder, the ability to float a holder from a great height gently downward, the ability to bring light or darkness, the ability to shock anyone who is not the chosen user with a severe shock, and even to drive them insane, and the power to temporarily remove pain from one who is suffering. The staff's powers can be activated remotely by will, and the staff can be called to the wielder's hand by will.

One of his pouches is a pouch of holding, which is capable of holding up to a storeroom of 10' x 10' worth in it.

Weaknesses: Away from his world, he has access only to those spells which are allowed to be learned from normal magic. He must study his spells every day, and memorize them in order to be able to cast them.
