Magnus
Keith
Name: Magnus Shonar
Age: 23 (m08/d08)
Position: Herald - Special Messenger
Gifts: Very Strong Fetching, Average Mindspeech
Appearance: Stands 6'5" weight about 220 lbs., strong build, dark tan from
working outside, brown-black, gray streaked hair, hazel eyes, multitude of scars
on chest, back and shoulders. One long, continuous scar on left side of face
from temple to below jaw, and a joining scar across front, just below left eye.
Most recently are the scars on face and chest from the assassination attempt
from the Kate, look alike, assassin.
Personality: Used to be a quiet lad, he generally kept to himself because of his
tough upbringing. Due to constant beatings this boy is rather tough with a
fairly high pain threshold, and never too sure exactly what to do with his life.
But now after his sessions with the MindHealer Eolan, he has become a confident
young man, out going and a generally speaking, a prankster at heart. His routine
starts and ends with watching the sunrise and sunset. He has become quite handy
with the sword, bow, and throwing knives, due to his training with his
Lifebonded. Some evenings you may even catch him trying to learn the lute or a
new rhythm on his drum, if he and Kate are not practicing their swords, or he
isn’t in the archery field.
Short life story: Magnus has had a rough time of it, a really unfair family
setting near the border, beat almost daily by an abusive uncle, found his main
mind power out of anger and fear over someone's safety. He has a great deal of
tracking/trapping experience. He was rescued, or saved, from killing his uncle
by a Companion named Sharissa, who arrived in the nick of time. Later, in his
third year, all but two cousins were murdered, he had a hard time learning to
believe it was not his fault. He had heard the stories of Heralds and their
Companions from his true father, bedtime stories that always gave him peace
while sleeping, dreaming of becoming a Herald in service to the Queen and
Kingdom of Valdemar.
After his second year as a trainee, he found himself Lifebonded to another
Trainee, Kayatice Fitral. After all these years, he still feels a pang of guilt
he cant seem to get past, her first Companion being killed by an assassin,
Kayatice and her Companion had stormed out of the Palace grounds because of a
practical joke he had pulled on her. Oh, he still pulls a good joke now and
again on someone, just not on Kate. It is a very long story, ask them about it
sometime, then you might want to seek shelter.
Companion: Sharissa, female.
Description: Becoming cynical and opinionated, Sharissa is built for speed,
what's called the courier body type.
