Magnus Kala

**Magnus Kala** is the primary protagonist of Legacy Dawn. He is one of many beings in the Apus Zagrea, specifically residing within the Dawnverse of the Nexus Point. He is the son of Killian Kala, the protagonist of Guilty Reincarnation, and the descendant of Knox Kala.

After the events of Legacy Dawn, he fuses with Knox to create the Perfect World, in which he married Athena and had Keith, before he had to return to the Pinnacle Gate.

Magnus is known by many as 'The Man who Saved the World' or, before the creation of the Perfect World, 'The Savior' for both his heroic feats and constant efforts to keep innocent people safe.

## Profile

### Appearance

As a teen, Magnus was a relatively fit young man with short black hair, red eyes, and olive skin. After being cursed by The Black Witch, he became noticeably paler and his eyes gained two black circles around the pupil. He stands at 5 feet and 9 inches and is of average weight.

His main outfit consists of a black trucker coat that he received from Suzanne that loosely fits around his torso, a white shirt, and beige pants along with somewhat worn out black sneakers. When he was affiliated with the Playing Cards he wore their uniform of a white poet's shirt, black cloak, and brown pants.

After the events of Legacy Dawn, Magnus becomes much more neat looking and athletic, standing at 6 feet and 7 inches. His hair becomes longer, reaching the end of his neck and resting atop his shoulders, his skin is healthier and holds a better complexion, and he becomes more muscular.

### Personality

Despite his intelligence and keen observational skills, Magnus is incredibly immature and positive. Oftentimes jumping into situations he thinks he'd enjoy or gain entertainment from in favor of his main goals. On top of this, he'll usually think the best of everyone and everything (albeit while still maintaining a small amount of suspicion), something that can lead to his downfall if he happens to cross the wrong person.

He has a deep care for both his friends and family, as well as those who may not even hold any personal relation to him, going to great lengths to keep everyone safe and happy. However, Magnus is incredibly irritable, taking no time at all to become angered at even the slightest offensive comment. Even if the comment had simply been passive aggressive, or not aggressive at all. On top of this, Magnus is a resentful boy, a trait that he still maintains when he grows older, once he's grown a grudge he'll do whatever it takes to get revenge on the target.

Furthermore, he's delicate to strangers and friends alike, being very considerate of people's situations, and will act accordingly. If someone has gone through a traumatic experience and doesn't feel comfortable talking about it, he will not probe them any longer. If he sees someone injured, he will take extra care to make them feel as little pain as possible.

## Powers and Abilities

### Sorcery

When Magnus first enters the Middle Realm, his magic is lackluster, even after training with Tatsuki his magic was still only at the level of a beginner and posed little to no threat against powerful sorcerers. However, as he begins to battle more powerful opponents such as Duchess and the Mad Hatter, he learns more about his abilities to "replicate" abilities he can understand the mechanics of and make them his own. This greatly increases his arsenal and grants him a variety of techniques and fighting styles over the course of Legacy Dawn.

* **Smoke Ki:** The very first technique Magnus observed was Tatsuki's smoke ki. However, after a battle with the Mad Hatter, he learned that his replication didn't copy a person's sorcery down to the letter, thus his variation of smoke ki allows him to increase his speed using a form of blood-doping whereas Tatsuki's allows him to "scratch" away his wounds. The blood-doping of Magnus' smoke ki replaces Magnus' blood with a similar substance mostly consisting of smoke rather than his own blood.
* **Black Curse:** The curse engraved on Magnus by the Black Witch when he was kidnapped by Tatsuki, it greatly increases his irritability and allows him to turn into a monstrous being from the Lower Realm known as an 'Asura' in response to extreme stress or anger. This curse becomes genetic and is passed down through Magnus' direct descendants.
* **Wind Ki:** During his fight with Duchess, after the Black Curse activated he was able to copy her Wind Ki. The main difference between Magnus' variation of the ki and Duchess' is that Magnus' gives him the capability to fully merge his body with the air. Traversing his surroundings as an incorporeal being, whereas Duchess greatly increased her physical speed to where it *seemed* like she was part of the air.

### Personal Abilities

* **Observation:** Although Magnus was always an observational child, taking into account the amount of times a bird would flap its wings or the various frequencies a cicada would make at the start of spring, this ability only became supernatural after entering the Middle Realm. Allowing him to copy fighting styles, sorcery, and even the effects of Cursed Objects.
* **Peak Human Physical Condition:** After training, various increases in AP, and an extremely good manipulation of his Aptitude Power, Magnus gained a superior body and mind. These gave him almost superhuman durability, speed, stamina, strength, and mental power that allowed him to overcome various obstacles without the use of Sorcery.
