Magnus Eyavin

BACKSTORY

Magnus owes the magic nature of his dragoon abilities to the bronze dragon Ysggromir Stormheart and his offspring Arniir. While seeking shelter from a wicked storm at sea, he and his brother Arik came across a severely injured bronze dragon on a rocky island off the Sword Coast. The young dragon, Arniir, was attempting to get her horde back from a topaz dragon rival, Thrynix. Thrynix nearly slayed Arniir, and tore apart her wings in the battle. Magnus and Arik had unknowingly taken shelter in her now-destroyed lair.

Arniir had positioned her lair in a tactful spot to observe her rival. Known as "Ashengold" by locals, Thrynix had taken to laying waste to lands and communities she thought had outstayed their welcome in her territory. Arniir sought to aid the local seaside communities in their war against Thrynix. Arniir told the twins of an item in her stolen horde that could potentially restore her body. Magnus offered to go take the item from Thrynix and return it to Arniir, since Arik was previously wounded from a hunt.

On his way to the topaz dragon's lair, Magnus was approached by a large, burly traveler who talked with Magnus about his plans to fight Thrynix. The traveler gave him some experienced advice and a weathered bronze ring to hang off his lance, as well as a thin chain, telling him both items will aid his battle plan.

Magnus yearned to slay Thrynix for what she'd done to Arniir, but he had to conjure a bronze dragon's cunning and waited until she slept to carefully sneak into her percarious lair and tie her mouth closed with the chain given to him by the traveler. When she woke to battle him, the chain proved extraordinarily strong and she was unable to break free to use her dessicating breath or vicious bite. To cover his escape with the item, Magnus hurled his lance into her eye, losing his lance in the process but the weapon exploded with lightning conjured by the ring he had placed upon it, and secured his escape.

Unfortunately — and unbeknowst to Magnus until he arrived back at Arniir's lair — Thrynix had already sapped the item of its restorative power. With no means of recovering, Arniir used her dying breath to impart her draconic soul to Magnus for his valor to save her life, giving him his bronze dragoon specialties.

FAMILY

Ragnvald Eyavin — Father. Most would say that Magnus (and Arik) is a clone of his father in appearance only. His wild nature proved even more toruble than Vysera. He often was at odds with Ragnvald's patience. His father still managed to instill a sense of hard work in Magnus, though.

Kalda Eyavin — Mother. Kalda's endless stamina only barely was able to keep up with Magnus. The twins' birth so close to their elder sister Brina's was already a strain, but she always holds that "you were the life of the party from the day you were born"

Vysera Kasti Therena Eyavin — Eldest sister, ancestral guardian barbarian. Vysera was considerably older than Magnus as children and he often felt scorned with her getting most of the responsibility and privileges. In his eyes she was his main competition, and the two would sometimes get into childhood brawls over him "copying" her, which are remembered much more fondly as adults.

Kyris Rieddek Andas Eyavin — Older brother, seafarer conclave ranger Magnus was occasionally able to rope Kyris into pranking Vysera; it was one of the only ways the twins could pull one over on her successfully. They have a very genial relationship, though other siblings would say Magnus brings out the worst in Kyris with his instigating.

Brina Aganessa Nèl Eyavin — Younger sister, hunter conclave ranger Magnus loved to torment Brina growing up because her reactions were so severe. He's grown out of that mostly, but the two are polar opposites and dont have much in common as adults.

Arik Magnus Elyas Eyavin— Twin brother, rune knight fighter. Magnus is the unstopable force at the command of his twin brother's brainy schemes, from youth until present day (and also Arik's scapegoat). Their relationship is about 50% pulling eachothers' chains and 50% genuine camraderie. Luckily they both share the same sense of humor.

Ragna Helena Fríðr Eyavin — Younger sister, oath of glory paladin. Magnus used to tease Ranga a lot growing up for her soft disposition and weak constitution, but into adulthood he's found himself more protective of his youngest sister's optimistic and almost naive view of things.

Magnus is easy to spot with his glittering gold scale armor and dragon horn helm. He always has a rune or pattern shaved into the side of his head, and looks to show off his tattoos at any moment he can. His body has scars here and there that all have stories behind them, and he wears a bronze feather on the end of his part braid. His build is lean enough to not weigh down his jumping, but maintains visible muscle mass on his arms, core, and legs. He tends to keep his beard close-shaven around his chin and neck, and has periods of growing his deep ginger hair longer so he can braid it for a while, only to chop it short or shave a part of it again a few months later.
