Red Magadaros

**Red Magdaros** is one of the protagonists of Memento Mori and the childhood friend of Shirayuki Honokami. He is the "vice-captain" of the team. While Yuki is in charge of day-to-day items, Red is responsible for handling logistics such as handling their funds and paying their bills due to Yuki's ineptness at handling the team funds.

## Profile

* Volume 1
* Volume 2

*He is the best friend of the Snow.*
*Despite Yuki's position as leader, he handles the logistics of the team due to her lack of skill in handling funds.*

*In the tournament to decide the future of adventurer parties, he finds himself clashing against a man whose reason and morality have been forgone in pursuit of power.*
*Yet even in the face of this ferocious foe, he will stand by her side and walk next to her as her guiding Flame.*

## Appearance

Red is a tall and handsome man with symmetrical facial features and a piercing gaze. He has dark skin and flaming red hair. Like other dragon kin, Red's ears are pointed like an elf's. He has slitted pupils, resembling that of a cat or a snake. Red has wings and a tail but he hides them while he is around due to their tendency to take up a large amount of space. Red is the tallest member of Memento Mori.

Prior to arriving in Yggdrasil, Red wore plated, segmented armor with eastern designs on it. He also wore a chainmail shirt underneath a grey kimono short and hakama. After arriving in Yggdrasil, Red took to wearing a grey shirt with a long-sleeved undershirt that has durable metals interwoven into the fabric. Above his shirt and pants, he wears a silver chestplate with crimson highlights and a pauldron on his left shoulder. On his feet are a pair of greaves and boots.

Like other Kin, Red can undergo Beastification. Though, his Beast form is currently unknown.

## Personality

On first glance, Red is a polite, if not restrained, individual. Unlike the other members of the party, Red's emotions are far more restrained. He acts based on logic and makes decisions based on the welfare of the party and its individual members. However, Red has shown himself to be rather kind and empathetic. He is rather protective of his friends and is willing to risk himself to defend them.

As Yuki's best friend and guard, he is shown to be in tune with her thoughts and emotions. He makes up for her weaknesses such as her inability to handle money and her rather explosive temper. Their relationship is rather ironic considering their elements. Yuki holds a special place in Red's heart. Her being in danger is enough to make him angry. In addition, his devotion to her will cause him to make questionable choices such as following her into a quarantine camp and storming the bedchamber of the Emperor and Empress of Alfheim.

Due to his training as a member of Alfheim's Royal Guard, Red is calm and collected. As stated earlier, Red is a logical person. When Yuki creates plans, Red assists her in coming up with strategies to guide them during quests. Even in combat, Red has shown to retain a cool mind and calmly analyze his opponent during a fight.

## History

Ever since he was young, Red was a member of Alfheim's Royal Guard. He was assigned to personally guard his best friend turned love interest, Shirayuki. The two grew up together and always promised to be together. When Yuki began to act out and find her own path as a Princess, he followed her in investigating the Gentry of Alfheim. The two discovered that the Gentry were using a spreading plague to line their pockets by distributing a fake medicine. After Yuki attempted to storm her parents' bedroom, Yuki was sent away by her aunt to protect her. As such, Lilia made Red promise to always remain at her niece's side.

After arriving in Alfheim, the two formed the adventurer party, Memento Mori.

While he is no mage, Red has shown considerable skill in utilizing mana and casting magic. He can cast multiple high level skills and bursts in a row. His mana is potent enough that his aura produces an immense amount of heat when he casts spells or when his emotions run high.

* **Fire Affinity Magic:** Red's Primary Affinity. Red has an exceptionally powerful inclination towards Fire. His mana is constantly laced in fire inclined mana and produces an immense amount of heat. His mastery of this element surpasses even Yuki's and Pandora's, being able to infuse it into his martial skills. His fire are a bright red and are abnormally hot.

**Skilled Prana Control:** Trained by Alfheim's best, Red has a large amount of prana constantly being produced by his body and circulating through his cells. His control over it is extensive, allowing him to project an aura around his body that causes light winds to blow around him. In addition, Red can instinctively enhance his body with Prana, allowing him to move faster, take more hits, and strike a lot harder. Unlike Yuki, Red can chain magical and martial skills together and even use them as Bursts.

* **Enhance Parameter:** Enhance Parameter is a basic Enhancement Skill. The user floods their body with their prana, enhancing their entire body ranging from physical strength, speed, and durability.
* **Super Acceleration:** Super Acceleration is a Speed Enhancement Skill that allows the user to go at extremely high speeds over a distance instantly.

**Skilled Combatant:** Red is an exceptionally skilled combatant and swordsman. He is capable of fighting members of high ranking parties such as William Iss, a member of a top party called Celestia. In the Battle of the Unknown Fortress, Red was able to fight multiple opponents at once and fighting opponents with far greater physical strength. He is on par with Yuki and is stated to be one of the only people in the party capable of fighting Kaguya on even grounds. Red has demonstrated great spatial awareness, allowing him to dodge and block multiple attacks even while he is in mid-motion at high speeds.

**Beastification:** As a Kin, Red has the ability to transform into a beast. As a Dragonkin, Red can turn into a dragon. He can also partially beastify, extending his nails into talons and sharpening his fangs. He can also summon a pair of large leathery bat-like wings from his back and a long, thick tail. Red has yet to fully transform into his dragon form but has summoned his wings before.

* **Flight:** Using his wings, Red can fly.

### Bursts

* **Nova Ride:** A Fire Element Burst. Red's entire body becomes coated in red hot flames and takes off like a rocket towards his opponent. The high speed, coupled with the intense heat, allows Red to deal devastating blows to his opponents by slamming into them with a high force impact while simultaneously inflicting grievous burns capable of instantly reducing weaker foes into blackened statues of char. This burst is primarily used with a sword.
* **Meteoric Burst:** A Fire Element Burst first introduced by Kaguya. It can be seen as an upgraded variant of the Fire Breath Skill. The user gathers and stores a massive amount of mana within their lungs. Each mana particle attaches to an oxygen molecule, turning the user's lungs into a tinderbox that is ready to explode. When the user exhales, the air inside their lungs moves erratically, causing their chest to puff up. The stream of air is forcefully expelled and ignited outside the mouth, creating a meteorite like ball of fire.
* **Heat Crash:** A stronger version of Nova Ride and can be used without a sword. Red activates Super Acceleration and reappears in the sky. A sphere of flames forms around his body and he divebombs towards the opponent/ground to create a large explosion.
