[KARL MAGNUS]

KARL MAGNUS

WHO ARE YOU?
NAME: Karl Oskar Magnus
BIRTHDAY/AGE: 15 May; 24 years of age.
GENDER: Male.
SEXUALITY: In-the-closet homosexual.
OCCUPATION: Hunter.
FACE CLAIM: Chris Evans


WHAT YOU ARE
SPECIES: Hunter
ALLIANCE: He believes he is doing good.
ABILITY: Those of any hunter.
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: though not possessing any type of power that could be considered magical (please, he would have offed himself by now if he had - let's be honest here), Karl is nevertheless in possession of impressive reflexes, honed by years of practice under his aunt. When required he can also make very quick decisions, and wield a great many weapons not limited to but included various handguns and larger assault weapons. He can use blades, but those aren't his strong points.


YOUR SUCCESS
LIKES: Fighting, hunting creatures, writing, Osiris (his dog), mythology, boys (though he will never admit it and doesn't believe it himself), the rush he gets when in combat.
DISLIKES: When things get screwed up by outside forces, when people are uncooperative, supernatural creatures, pop music, and literature romanticizing the supernatural.
STRENGTHS: Combat, agility, making quick decisions, vigilantism.
WEAKNESSES: He's often blinded by his hatred for the supernatural, he's very cocky at times, and he tends to lose his patience quickly with mundane situations. He has a weak wrist-joint from breaking it multiple times.
FEARS: His homosexuality and the creatures he fights and kills. He also fears supernatural creatures, but it is a fear born out of what the bad ones can do, not ignorance. In fact, he is surprisingly knowledgeable concerning the ones he hunts.
GOALS: Eradicate a suitable amount of supernatural and perhaps settle a little to watch his siblings.


TELL ME YOUR PAST
MOTHER: Elisabet Magnus
FATHER: Oskar Magnus
SIBLINGS: Alistair & Una Magnus (technically his cousins).
OTHER: His aunt and uncle, Helene Magnus (nee. Russell) and Stefan Magnus. He owns a border collie named Osiris.
PLACE OF BIRTH: Meadow Heights
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Meadow Heights
HISTORY:

Named for his father and grandfather, Karl was born a native of Meadow Heights to a family just over the financial crisis line. As a a result he grew up without a lot of things that other kids had, most noticeably electronics, and could often be found outside in rain or snow performing various activities for hours and hours on end. One of his favourite things to do involved climbing trees and trying to find ways in which he could almost literally leap from tree to tree, a habit that would ultimately leave him with several broken bones and a weak left wrist, which was initially disastrous seeing as he was left-handed; however, because of the frequent breaks he also learned to use his right hand, become a non-naturally ambidextrous. He had a couple friends as a child, and when they were actually around he would play with them for hours and hours on end. He was always close with his uncle Stefan, a young man who lived with them until Karl was four before he left.
When Karl was five his aunt and uncle came to Meadow Heights, his uncle having recently married a woman named Helene Russell. Karl was instantly drawn to her, finding her stories of the supernatural fascinating. Oftentimes he could be found curled on her lap as he listened to her stories of the evilness of creatures such as vampires and werewolves, and how she would protect him from them because she was a hunter and that was her job.

At seven his aunt told him she would train him how to deal with the creatures and Karl, thinking it was a game, happily agreed, the two spending hours and hours outside training. This went on for a couple more years until, when Karl was nine, his parents were mauled by some shadowy attackers on their way back from a restaurant. The news was delivered to them by his uncle Stefan, who proceeded to explain that he had "traced the creatures" and "managed to snag one of them, but they had something - a witch, I think - with them, and vanished." That was when Karl realized that his aunt's stories were indeed true.
The supernatural existed.
And they had just killed his parents.

From then on his training intensified, his rage lending fuel to his desire to learn. At fourteen he, his aunt and his uncle tracked down the creatures they believed responsible for, killing them all; however, in the process his uncle was bitten by one of the vampires and vanished by the witch before he and his aunt managed to take them both down.
Eight months later his aunt gave birth to two twins, Alistair and Una, whom Karl quietly swore he would always, always protect, even at the cost of his life. This proved to be nearly true when, just after his eighteenth birthday and the end of his final high school year, a group of supernaturals attacked his house and he barricaded the twins' room upon his aunt's request, fighting off the creatures when they managed to break through. It was only when his mortally wounded aunt managed to stagger in and provide a distraction in the form of three molotovs did he and the twins escape out the window of their large bungalow.

Since then he has ruthlessly hunted the supernatural, killing them wherever they are found.
