Species: Chimera Demi-God

Background:

No matter the time, place or era, good and evil have always existed. In general it exists in a perfect balance like yin and yang but there are times when it sways. Oddly enough it is always evil that began to encroach and threaten the natural balance that exists within the world. In those times hero's rise up or are chosen in order to restore the natural balance and push the evil back. This has been the natural order for millennia and since then it has been the way. Evil would push past it's bindings or a more powerful evil would begin to grow and the god's would choose a new champion. Over time the darkness began to learn and evolve, becoming more complex. Eventually the normal champions that were chosen were not enough. they began to fall one after another. The darkness had thrown forth a being that was different. The darkness had combined the soul of dragon and a great lion best into a chimeric hybrid, infused it with it's power and sent it forth to kill the guardians that stood in the way. A perfectly corrupted weapon to fight against the light. It was fierce, powerful and ruthless. No matter who they threw at him he never stopped. He wasn't a mindless killing machine like the others that were sent before him. He was cold and calculating in his tactics. His body seemed to be able to whether any blows or magic that were thrown against him and he showed no mercy. Guardians were killed, villages and towns raised in his path. He left a terrible path of destruction in his wake. The god's new that they had to kill him but one of them, Raya, the goddess of souls had a plan. She wasn't sure why, but there was something faint in. Despite what he was there was the slightest glimmer of light and she planned on using it. The remaining guardians baited him into a trap and before he could do anything they bound him using powerful magic. Raya then sent down their avatar and pierced his soul in a painful process and flooded it with light, knocking him unconscious for 330 years. With him removed from the battle the remaining guardians were able to once again push back the darkness and re-establish balance. In addition the greatest champion that the darkness had thrown forth had been defeated and turned against it. 

Centuries passed and finally magnus became conscious again. When he awoke his mind was hazy and his memories shattered. He found himself in his humanoid form bound in chains of light. As he looked up the avatar of the Raya stood before him. "You were once a great shadow upon the world Magnus. We thought that you would be the end, but now it seems, you are a new beginning. I have cleansed your soul of the darkness that once bound it. I then built upon the broken frame that was left behind, which is what you are now, guardian.  Your past deeds cannot be undone and the others will never forget what you did. The memories of what you did while damaged, will remain as they are a part of who you are. Time will give you flashes of the past so prepare yourself.  You can, however begin to make up for it. You will wander the world for the remainder of your life and root out the evil that has always remained, keeping the peace and balance. It will be a long and arduous journey, but it will redeem you in time. So Magnus, what say you?". He wasn't exactly sure what to say in such a situation, but after a few moments he found his voice. "I........I......remember bits and pieces but............ if what your telling me is true, then I am guilty of..............horrific things. Mercy was not something that I deserved and yet you showed it to me. I would be foolish to turn it down. I will do as you wish but before I do, there are two things that I must know. The first is why save me when you could have easily killed me? The second is....These markings....I do not remember them and they are...painful" he'd say grimacing a little. The avatar that stood before him walked closer and knelt down. I saved you because I saw a faint light within you. Despite being spawned of the very evil meant to destroy this world you had the faintest of lights. That is something that no other destroyer before you has had, so I felt it would be better to keep you alive. Those crimson sutures that adorn your body are from me. They are the result of my rebuilding your soul with soul stitching. Think of them as sutures from the process. Destroying a soul is easy but in your case, I rebuilt it. I fragmented out the darkness and then filled in the space with light, making you whole again.  Your memories will be rather fragmented from the process and the sutures will hurt from time to time and will react when you are troubled, but they are a part of who you are now. Embrace them as a part of the new you Magnus" Raya would stand back up and take a few steps back. "Now upon the next sun rise you are to begin your journey. You will find what you need in the next room. In your travels if you do come across other guardians, tread lightly. They will not forgive you so easily". With that the avatar vanished in a flash of light and with it the chains, leaving magnus to collapse to the ground. Despite being asleep for 300 years his body was still healing. He managed to get up after a few moments and slowly walk into the next room where he found clothing, gear and other necessities. The place that he found himself in was mysterious and dark. It was an odd cavern of some sort. Escape was something that most would think of but magnus could only think of sleep. After eating, he collapsed onto the bed that was prepared and fell back sleep. As the sun peaked above the horizon i's rays flooded the cavern and awoke magnus. He got up and walked to the now revealed entrance and looked out upon the valley below. His new life had just begun.

Personality:
Magnus is a kind generally individual and He takes his job as a guardian very seriously.  He feels great guilt over the past, especially from the trauma that he caused to the remaining guardians as well as others. He does struggle with accepting that he’s a different person then before.  If he does meet other guardians he tries to steer clear of them. If meeting them cannot be avoided, he says very little as he doesn't want to upset them. He actively seeks out and destroys evil as it his his duty. He will intervene to stop acts of cruelty as well. When his "sutures" begin to act up (They glow), he tends to isolate himself as he doesn't want to trouble others or attract attention. They can be triggered by seeing certain things or if fragments of certain memories come to light in his mind. When is engaged in fighting against the darkness or it's corrupted, he generally isn't merciful to them unless they can be saved. In his viewpoint it is an act of mercy to free them from it's grip.

Abilities/skills:

Shapeshifting: He can transition from his feral/True form to a humanoid form with weapons. His feral form is about ten feet at the shoulders and as a humanoid he stands about 6'4.

Crimson Flame magic: Due to his chimeric nature he inherited flame magic that burns a brilliant red color from his draconic side. He can wield it in combat, is fire proof, can coat his swords or body in it and even breath it. The flames also seem to have a purifying effect, especially when it comes to corruption. This however depends on the amount of corruption.
