General Magalank (Not his real name since he hides it) was created in a laboratory on Planet Pangea in the old Gosauzwang underground section."Created" by a woman named "Vivian Smith" (not her real name).  Who used Alienreptile d.n.a and human d.n.a as well as a small part of Shift genetic. 

Been experimented on long lasting genetical procedures from birth to childhood.

As he was a kid, he managed to flee from there after discovering the truth what the "evil one" (Vivian) is planing. But got caught the first time. His genetical "Brother" Milo and "sister"Mira had no idea what would happen and thought he was gone. (they are not his actual siblings since all three were created differently and from different types of reptile/alien.But since all three survived and were around the same time they are family. 

Held in the lower labs and experimented on (since Vivian was seeking for an ultimate genetical withstand against any disease and make humans live longer and not age) he went through alot. Understandable his hatred for Vivian and those who are part of her  team.

It was as he was a teen (around 14) finally got free'd by another scientist who died shortly after for his betrayel that Maga swore to get stronger and come back to get revenege and free his siblings. Took aboard a charting ship on the way to the Planet Gamalank and did all he could to stay and get a new I.D. Was then taken under King Makumba s "wings" (scales at that) as his "son" and could get into  the Special Force unit, where he teamed up later with Derrick (a white tiger). 

Maga became the top one. General in a year and serious. Perfected his sniping and strategy skills and did his research. Lead the first safe travel to manage peace with a nearby alienrace. 

Known to rarely smile and be direct. Maga does have a soft spot. A time where he fell in love with a female Martian (Human who moved to modern Mars) and with that had a child. Didnt go well as later was revealed she only needed money and the accusion he hid his true self. 

While he undergoes his cycle as he calls it "the squishy side" he has a humanoid form. This form he used to get into the Team as well as not to let any cover go under and many say that this "Special Agent" has more skilled luck than a firework.
His human side is more loosened, more fun to hang around with. A complete opposite of a usual serious toned General. This  General is fun to be around with, explains his wisdom in a hell of a fun way you want to learn and takes part in many things. A reason so many fall for him (male and female) and where he get´s quite around with. He still has his accurancy and precision and never misses his targets or combats, but its more on the fun side and you wouldn´t expect him to be "THE MAGA".
His human side he calls himself Calvin.
Very protective of others and hangs around with his Tiger friend Derrick who knows his real side and secret.

A fun lil take on "were" form as when too many things get to Maga (in his normal reptile form) overwelming, his genetics burst a bit and he gets this huge reptile form (Derrick casually called him Godzilla like) as he does take up a much larger form and the alienspecies part of him the original. A terryfiying and dangerous creature at that. Not many have witnessed and not many survive as his werform does devour enemies.  Something Maga hides and only Derrick and Doc Lobotny know of. Still trying to this day to keep the form at bay.

It had started as Maga got the info to look after a suspect involved in the crimes of Vivian, to which he immedietly said yes. Along with an alien Agent, https://toyhou.se/4669953.-alien-agent- both trevelled down to Pangea and having to watch over Val -Age 19 (back then her deckname Leonore and her real name Abigail, as Val is her second incognito name). As Maga could smell and sense the female (since daughter of Vivian) he was set on finding out more. Throughout the story he gathers info, see's how she reacts and is convinced she will do the same her mother did.

Time passes, around 5 months as he had evidence after they stumbled upon the Underground lab. (Val, Milo, Sabrina, Alien Agent and Maga at that day) with the info he had, he planned. 

As things got cleared by more evidence of the creation on "Sol" who attacked and trial with all held on Planet Gamalank, the case was dropped as Val was innocent. With travel back to home, Maga accompanied her and had other plans. Because for him she tricked them all and hated seeing her get away. Clearly believing she is on par with Vivian. On the big statue in the city, both had a talking moment where Maga then revealed what he would do. Confrontation as Val and him talked and almost escalated as he had planned to kill her so she wouldn't turn like her mother. But turned out to be completley different. Ashamed of what he wanted to do, Val (Abigail) offered a peacemaking. Both made a jump (in modern jumpsuits) from the top of the Statue over the city. Not only having a peaceful moment but to get the stress off. And a sort of new beginning. 

After this Val and Maga became friends. While Maga still remained serious and  "stiff" he did slowly but surely warm up to Val. Now and then an "amused" eyebrow tilt, smirk or even a happy lil tailwag. Even "excited" whenever she came off that travelling ship to the planet to visit. 

This happens way later as well as Val had snuck up on a mission to support the peacemaking. Having to watch over her and undercover her as one of the soldiers. Maga wasn't amused but surely impressed as she had taken care of some wounded (with her vet reptile knowledge) as well as maintain and make things as a modern Smith. Seeing that she was capable to defend for herself even. Maga and her had a talkative moment on the past at the campfire. Getting to know each other a lil' more. 

With peace at hand the species, mission over and a talk, Maga returned to his job as the General of the Gamalanks special force unit. 

With frankly visits to the smithing area on Gamalank and visiting indirect Val. 

It wasn't until the yearly and a week long Love Festival (imagine like a geek/Anime con but with 18+ themes and such) on Gamalank, that the two got closer. Set up by their friends (Derrick with Maga and Henati with Val) getting into a "blind date" of 24 hours lovebash. Spending the next day together around the festival and both feeling awkward about it.  But somewhat intreged as it did open door's for them. Even a slight and sweet kiss moment on the cheek. Leaving at that as Maga felt..uneasy  (genetical cycle) leaving her at the Bar alone. The next day not saying  anything as Val planned to not attend and rather work and train. Having used the training room of the generals, seeing Val and approaching her in his human form. The two sparr and get close, but visible that Val want's nothing of it and worried on Maga as he "was called in sick" and  thinking he wanted to avoid her as well. 

With the concert and  smut going on, he leaves her to go with her friend as he decides to get drunk. Unsure if the feelings he has are true or rather due to festival and cycle. Val gathers him (in a male form due to a scenery) up as he was drunk on the side, complained how he got rejected by two other females. Waking up in Vals Appartment, getting picked up by Derrick and later confronted by his best friend to so what his heart tells him. 

At the dancebar at evening, talking with Derrick how best to approach Val.  Going over, talking and both even dance and share a soft kiss as Val found out who he was. (This is still in human form) He leaves the Bar and heads to his Appartement. Thinking. 

Not much was known after. A year later, all was calm, as a scenery occured (read the story in folder for that)

https://toyhou.se/~literature/23218.the-nostalgia-date

After that, both got together and were a pretty good team with Derrick on missions now and then. Maga opening up a lil'more and even smiling more.  5 months later a scenery occured where it would turn their fate around. (Hence the Parasite mission)

His best friend and closest. This white big tiger is an excellent combat pro and close range. Meeting Maga as he had joined to be part of the Unit, was the first and only to befriend this serious and stubborn skilled one. Trusting as much as knowing Magas real self from where he comes from and more. Derrick is the one to go with all around. 

From competitive and supportive friend as well as the one who talks to Maga to open up a lil more. Maga trusts Derrick fullest and would let him get through almost anything when they are in combo (rarely open but under each other pretty ok )
Originally both met not in the Special Unit but cantine.
It was one of Maga´s travels as the Special Unit was forming together and the General could pick his team.
In a small lil restaurant on Pangea, a fight had broken out after Maga had chatted with the tiger (complimenting the delicious food he had recieved) Derrick at the time was an excellent cook.
With the fight breaking out, Derrick had proven to be very helpful holding them off and even negotiating. Proving to be very good on peaceful agenda.
Maga saw huge potential in Derrick and offered the tryouts for Special Unit.
With the tiger at first not thinking he was suitable, giving it a chance and succeding. With his decision to join.

Heather
This martian lady had met Maga in his human form long before as he was a "rookie" at the Unit and she at the time was back as a nurse. A  "classical" part time love story one would think as she had supported.
The lovefestival was also where the two came closer, messed around and became a couple (resolting in a child that is very cute -named Brezziana-but.. meant for others as the mother had taken alot of savings from Magas Account and partly without him knowing)

This came fully clear as Maga one day went with Abby/Val to Pangea (at first to observe but seeing how she was helpful) getting a gift for his kid and girlfriend at the time.  Noticing his bank account was sucked and couldnt pay (which led Val to pay for) As they arrived back on Gamalank, stumbling into Heather and the reasoning. He remained calm outside as she said she clearly didnt like the real him and she was "tricked" and that the money was theirs to share in the first place for the kid (never was which was a lie as she had an older kid as well who was from another guy) Abby had watched this  scenery and blew her opinion infront of the woman who shrugged it off, while Abby was defending him. It was later after a courttrial that Maga and her got divorced and the kids to him as he stated "She is mentally not stable and neglects them" As the trial was over, the couple divorced and Maga now getting the kids in 2 days had time to prepare all. Val helped him as she had experience with it all and helped him wherere she could, bringing the two closer as partners as well as seeing that not everyone was sweet on the outside.

His kid Brezziana is an adorable lil kid (age 3) who is learning the world around her and is taken in by Maga after the mother had done alot of b+++. Her older sister Erica is 9 years old and got taken in by Maga as well after beeing scared of her mother who only used her to get cash. The girls adore their reptile/human dad alot and thankful to this day (as well as beeing with "uncle Derrick" who partly watched them. Val adores these kids and see´s them later part of the family 

Spoiler:
(Especially after Maga´s death that she takes them in and watches over. At the time pregnant with Maga´s kids herself (twins)

The Gatorking who "adopted" Maga later on as a teen. After he had fled and landed nearby, the Alien Topas Patak had found the young kid and took him in. Later attending the reptilian Fesstival to where Makumba had spotted the kid.
The two had a very good connection and made it on a monthly visit there whenever they could. .
Over time, Maga had a good connection with the big Reptile.
Tapak who was dying, didn´t want Maga to see him like this, leaving him with Makumba´s care and had to "take care of things" Makumba scooped up the young runaway and taking to Planet Nasauri Arkatis (the reptile Planet) where he adopted the young one without questioning after Topak´s death-
Maga at the time didn´t understand what was going on and though he was on a mission.
Training, raising him lovingly and finding out from where he came. Makumba who later became a king, lets the way open for Maga to choose.
After the truth came out that Topas would never come back, Maga set out to find the truth.

Maga´s Savior´s from the Labs who had spotted him in the water. A young kid escaping from labs, Topas made sure to hide him. (A safe place in the inside of the huge Alien "Statue"in Sunburst City)
Raising him up to a young kid around 13 years old. As he headed with the young Maga to Nasauri Arkatis (the reptile Planet) meeting Makumba himself. On a regular basis, meeting, getting to know more and enjoying life. He had no idea that Topas had encountered Vivian, got threatened to hand over Maga (Who at the time was with Makumba) and was set a trial. Either he brought Maga to her and would get the antidote, or suffer and die. Which Topas no doubt decided for the better side.
He left Maga with his friend Makumba, saying that he had to go on a special mission.
With him gone, he headed back to the Statue, trying to find an antidote. Writing down formulas, tried underground connections. Basically anything that would help with this thing Vivian had injected him with. But it was too late. He died in the lower bunker of the statue, his corpse still below and all notes and infos with him. Along a letter towards Maga and the truth.
Later with the time passing, Maga had headed back because no answer or response of Topas was made. With Makumba not wanting to let the young Maga at the time know, travelling with him.
Upon stumbling into the Alien Agent, who was seeking on a trail as well. Working together and finding the hidden tunnel. Along it´s secrets and.. the letter.
With Maga now even more set on his goal of getting revenge and killing Vivian and her team, he stopped smiling and began to focus. Not wanting to waste time and find the one responsible (he buried Topas honorably)
