Magnus Milrankus

## Gallery

Magnus Milrankus is a descendant of the Milrankus lineage. Born and raised in Lorisin, Magnus was ready for adventure but was kidnapped and lost most of his memories through a strange encounter. He befriended and became a core ally of the Starrite Guardians but split up to journey on his own. Now wielding the Sword of a Million Ranks, Magnus frequently saves Senothia and occasionally returns to help his teammates when they need him most.

## Appearance

Magnus is a white-scaled Dragonborn with long iridescent horns and same-colored eyes. He is somewhat thin but well-built nonetheless. He wears purple bands and shorts along with gray attachments. Additionally, he has grown small frill wings on his arms.

## Brief History

Magnus Milrankus was born and raised on the continent of Lorisin. He was fully loved by his parents but developed a sour relationship with his brother Mazgorr. After the death of his parents, Magnus waited until he was of age and was finally ready to go explore the world. That night, Mazgorr tried to convince him not to go, but in the middle of the argument, mysterious Tina showed up at their house.

Magnus woke up within a nursing home located in the Lorilands while having lost most of his memories to Dominus. He immediately met and befriended a group of individuals that would later be known as the Starrite Guardians. Magnus went on several adventures with this group, growing stronger and became involved with Dominus' schemes. He reconciled with Mazgorr and gave him some of his blood that resulted in the creation of GOD Milrankus. While the rest of his team departed, Magnus stayed in Lorisin to search for the Sword of a Million Ranks, but Mazgorr found it first.

His issues with his brother culminated at the Battle for the Well of Hope, where Magnus single-handedly fought and defeated Perfected GOD to claim the legendary sword. From there, Magnus visited Hiddranda, then continued to roam Senothia, saving it from great peril by going on bizarre adventures. He returned to battle Maakia Milrankus, Lirnegalar, and Miasma, declaring victory with the Starrites. He left once more, vowing to return when they need him most.

## Abilities

Magnus was considered to be relatively weak but his powers have grown on his adventures and are expected to continue growing exponentially in the near future. For example, he gains both mana and stamina at a fast rate.

* **Multilingualism-** Magnus is capable of speaking and understanding both common and draconic.
* **Dragonborn Physiology-** Regardless of his scale color or unique ability, Magnus' Dragonborn body gives him a natural physical advantage over others. He is stronger than average and displays keen dexterity and durability.
	+ **Dragon Bite-** A custom technique, Magnus can use his strength and snout to perform a powerful bite on his opponent. It deals good damage.
	+ **Hypnosis-** Magnus can use hypnotic powers in the form of a stare. Direct eye contact allows him to slightly influence his target into confusion. The ability is still weak but will continue to develop.
	+ **Small Wings-** Magnus is slowly developing his Hypnos Dragonborn wings, which grow out of his arms. Currently, they are small, but can still be used to occasionally increase movement speed.
* **Monk Training-** Close-range physical combat is the specialty of Magnus. This brawler-like fighting style has helped him improve his strength and accuracy in battle, as well as his acrobatics. He has learnt various techniques from different sources.
	+ **Pensive Recovery-** Magnus can enter a particular state of meditation and quick physical recovery that allows him to regain his stamina, even during battle.
	+ **Breaker Technique: Core Breaker-** This move is unique in the fact that it targets weak spots in enemy armor, and while it does no actual damage, a sufficient hit will damage the opponent's armor.
	+ **Brutal Brothers Technique: Vicious Breaker-** Taught to him by the Brutal Brothers, Magnus can inflict a very precise punch that damages the enemy's armor, as well as crippling one of their arms.
	+ **Brutal Brothers Technique: Cranium Smash-** A very destructive technique, the Brutal Brothers taught Magnus how to attack with his head. By smashing it against the opponent's head, they are temporarily stunned. Unfortunately, this results in Magnus taking recoil damage while being half-stunned.
	+ **Steel Clan Technique: Quick Guard-** For the cost of a fourth of his stamina, Magnus can quickly re-launch as missed attack with even more precision than before. It can often be useful in certain situations.
* **Mathrankus Techniques-** These special combat techniques were learnt from Mathrankus, a quite mysterious fellow. Magnus is unsure if he can be trusted, but he's all he's got.
	+ **Dragon Punch-** Magnus can harnesses his draconic might to perform a special and deadly punch that has improved over time.
	+ **Draconic Fury-** Magnus uses his claws to perform a quick flurry of powerful scratches on his opponent.
	+ **Dragon Gust-** The most exotic technique, Magnus can intensely punch forward to create a gust of wind. It has small range but can push back multiple enemies.

## Equipment

His brief adventures with the Starrite Guardians resulted in the obtainment of multiple unique items. They are currently the first in a long line of future weapons. He obtained more during his solitary journey, including the Sword of a Million Ranks.

* **Bands of Shadow-** Gifted to him by the Queen of Madre, these bands use infused Shadow Magic in order to turn its user completely invisible but only while he is standing perfectly still. They are very useful for stealth.
* **Jar of Wonderful Wind-** A blue metallic jar, with engravings on it, that carries a magical breeze within. Magnus can use mana to activate the jar and swiftly dash across a certain distance.
* **Shadowshade Thinblade-** This special katana has a shadow enchantment, turning it purple, and into a fierce weapon. The lore is deep and complex, but because it contradicts his monk style, Magnus only uses it against worthy opponents.
* **Mathrankus Armor-** Gifted to him by the mysterious Mathrankus, this draconic-styled armor protects Magnus from attacks. It symbolizes the culmination of his training with the mysterious Mathrankus. It has no special abilities but is very reliable.
* **Sword of a Million Ranks-** It was originally created in the Golden Arcanes on order of Maximillion Milrankus, the first Milrankus hero. A connection to the Milrankus bloodline unlocks the sword's extraordinary capability in battle, challenging unchallenged power wherever it goes. As Magnus gets stronger, so will the sword, making it a timeless weapon. It is occasionally lent to GOD Milrankus.
* **Steel Clan Plates-** Obtained from his time with the Steel Clan, these metallic plates give Magnus a lot of extra durability, nullifying the damage of many attacks. As a drawback, they slightly slow down his movement and make him more susceptible to electric attacks.
* **Brutal Wraps-** Acquired from the Brutal Brothers themselves, Magnus can cover himself with their special wraps, giving him slight protection. They may not have much defense, but as Magnus gets damaged, his damage will increase to a certain point.

## Weaknesses

* **Stamina Meter Drain-** If one of his moves or items consumes too much stamina, it leaves him tired and in a vulnerable state. His stamina can always replenish after some time or even with Stamina Potions, but if completely drained of stamina, he is rendered unable to use any of his more powerful attacks.
