Magnus Ironsmith

Status: Active
System: D&D 3.5/Pathfinder

Magnus was based off Miguel as far as personality and concept are concerned. Magnus differs in build and lacks psionics, but is essentially the same character.

I'm currently using Magnus in a Planescape game, where he hails from a Material Plane that is low-magic - magic exists and can work on that plane, but is primarily a 'craft magic'; spellcasters need extra time, don't make good adventurers, and are especially rare. So far, it's been a fun game.

Physical Description:

Magnus is a large man by anyone's standards. He wears his brown hair cropped close. His plain brown linen shirt does nothing to hide his muscles. His eyes are brown, and gleam with an intelligence that his bulk tends to hide. When expecting combat, he wears a dull but still functional suit of full plate armor.

Personality:

Magnus is a braggart about his combat abilities, which is all the more annoying to others because he's almost as good as he claims! His usual boast is of defeating an ever-increasing number of mounted warriors while on foot. Due to his background, he's distrustful of magic and uncertain about psionics, but he's come to respect clerics and individual arcane casters for their healing and buffing spells.

Magnus doesn't consider himself to be a knight, as he was never officially knighted by a nobleman. While he knows the basics of riding a horse and using the lance, he's much more capable on foot, with a sword and shield.

Despite all this, Magnus has a deeply-ingrained sense of honor. At times, he appears almost knightly in his honor.

History:

Magnus Ironsmith hails from a small farming village in a low-magic medieval world, where he grew up as the son of the local blacksmith. At an early age, he became the assisant to a knight's weaponsmith; the knight was Sir Lennart, the nephew of the local baron. He quickly picked up the rudimentary skills of a knight, Sir Lennart, where his great strength, honed from years at the forge, became a definite asset.

Fairly recently, after Sir Lennart fell in battle (on the losing side of a conflict between two nobles), Magnus was forced to sell his services as a mercenary. While discussing terms with a prospective employer, he was brought over into the city of Sigil without realizing who the employer was. He's been there ever since, selling his services as a sword-for-hire.
