STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Strengths:

• Dark Energies: Due to the nature of his family & Dark Baptism, Magnus is steeped in the Dark Side of the Force.
• Combative Strength: Warfare is the clarion call of glory to the Epicanthix of Panatha, and Magnus has a lot of catching up to do. Thankfully as the son of a Mand'alor and an unparalleled powerhouse in the Force, Magnus has more martial training than a child his age should dream of.
• House Zambrano/Fitz-Kierke: By the age of five, Magnus became aware how close House Zambrano was to his mother and siblings. This included all the amenities and securities provided to a child from mountainous elders, who took interest in his brother's intelligence.

Weaknesses:

• Dimwit: Magnus hit things. Magnus make things better. Any situation too complicated, Magnus just starts wailing on the first thing in reach.
• Child: However well defended, Magnus is a child, and is restricted in many things.
• Quick to Anger: Magnus has not learned the same amount of control over himself as his twin brother Girak Zambrano . At times, when Magnus goes berserk, the only thing left is to bring his brother to salvage him.

APPEARANCE:

Pale of skin and red of eye, Magnus appears as the gargantuan spawn of the Epicanthix: barely a teenager growing like a weed. He has, with time, dwarfed his mother Gunnr, and reached heights near the mythic Epicanthix God-King Magnus Zambrano, for whom he is named. Magnus constantly wears his clothing scruffed up and muddied from combat, despite having access to the best fashions a young man could desire. Some form of bladed weapon is not far behind.


BIOGRAPHY:

A woman fell through the chasms of Dromund Kaas, in an attempt to murder the man who previously whispered as her saviour. Mand'alor the Infernal, the Netherworld-raised Epicanthix Yasha Cadera knew it was her one mission to trap and murder her long-term mentor Darth Carnifex . For the evils he committed. For a sense of justice she clung to as if it would expunge many anathema things.

The more she fought him, the more he slapped her down. They raged together, defeated the Ymir. Locked under Dromund Kaas for weeks without sign of rescue. Yasha began to hallucinate from dehydration and hunger. Nothing remained in the forgotten place but the Black Lake, a Dark Side Force Nexus which rejuvenated Darth Carnifex after every killing blow.

And after exhaustion took her, and she crumpled to the ground... he picked her up in his mighty arms. The same arms which doled death to billions and threatened trillions... he washed her wounds with the waters of the Black Lake. Held her to his chest to staunch hyperventilation's death knell. And she hated him.

And she fought him. And he held her. Baptized her shattered body in the black waters of the Nexus in a condemnation of whatever spirit remained in Yasha Cadera.

She spat in his face, and physically battered, returned to her beloved Mandalore. Days later, Dr. Theo Allard confirmed she was pregnant with twins. Magnus and Girak-Kaine, named after the Panathan mysteries which surrounded Yasha's House Fitz-Kierke. The first five years of Magnus' life, he knew nothing but Mandalore. The rough knees of a child at play. Any Darth Carniflooks was a swear word in the house. The whispers from his mother's bride Alex.

Then, when all unravelled from the Infernal, Darth Carnifex came to Dathomir at Magnus' mother's request.

Magnus met his mountain that day, a man so tall little Magnus climbed to the tippy top and viewed the universe from a giant's eyes. Little Maggi promised to be a bigger warrior than even the Emperor of the Sith. Maggi didn't know why his mother stiffened, when Darth Carnifex held him one-handed.

They looked in each other's eyes, the barest hint of recognition as molten eyes ringed by black met brilliant emerald.

Placing the child back on his feet, the Emperor's words were a subdued rumble. "So, you are one of Yasha's children, are you not? I thought I spied the traits of an Epicanthix about you, my boy." With hands on his hips, he allowed the barest of smiles to play across his lips to perhaps diffuse whatever reservations the boy may have in the presence of such a monstrous individual like himself. "What is your name, I do not believe your mother has elected to inform me."

When Emperor Carnifex whispered Magnus' name like a sacred whisper.

"Magnus." repeated the Sith Emperor, albeit a bit more breathily than the small child boasting before him.

The significance of the name would be lost on many at the assembly, perhaps to his own mother as well on a certain level. It was a name of prophecy, one spoken with reverence among the generations of Zambranos since those dark days of Solomon. But before the young Magnus could carry out his childish wishes, he was scooped up in the dotting arms of his birth mother; much to his chagrin in sight of the 'talking mountain'. It was amusing in a way, the fierce boundless energy constrained within such a small tiny form.

Yasha held him so tight Magnus felt himself about to pop like a dandelion.

But... there was a smile on Yasha's face soon after. She smiled! And laughed, and kissed his nose and his forehead and held him close with a love Magnus knew her position as Mand'alor restrained. Magnus grew to love the man who looked like a mountain and whispered his name. He held no fear of the twin-like Darth Prazutis beside him, who spoke in Epicant about Magnus being named for a legend. Especially after Carnifex healed his mother's Vong-broke arm, when even Buir admitted the talking mountain was there when none could be. Magnus whispered with Girak-Kaine, but knew little of those mysterious 'adult things' Girak seemed to guess in his quiet way.

Then Yasha died on Mandalore, or withered to a husk which no longer felt like mother. Adara took Magnus and Girak-Kaine to a ship with a funny red cog-wheel, but plenty of Panathans on it. The red cog wheel ship gave them to another larger ship, with the Eye of Solomon emblazoned upon it. Magnus put his fists up to defeat whatever would harm his brother the way someone or something harmed his mother...

... and met the mountainous Emperor. What was a boy who promised to be the biggest, strongest fighter to do? Fists ablaze, Magnus beat on the Dark Lord of the Sith until Kaine Zambrano knelt down, put his arm around Magnus' shoulders and like his mother before him, took every moment of pain Magnus could muster. Magnus hit and hit, as if the confusions of his life could be destroyed like pillars of balsam wood in the training grounds. He lashed out until Girak-Kaine's hands reached for the mountain's face, and a calm understanding slid between the twins' mutual conscious mind. Fists exhausted, Magnus curled into the father he once climbed, and sobbed in grief, in frustration, in emotions the child didn't have the ability to yet understand.

Magnus & Girak-Kaine were safely away on Panatha, surrounded by House Fitz-Kierke & House Zambrano. He fights and spars and hunts, and ensures his brother never gets into too much trouble without making it a whole lot worse. And when time permits, Emperor Carnifex visits them there, took the boys hunting and training in the wild jungles. Each second another chance to prove how strong Magnus is getting, or to distract from another of his twin's discombobulating visions.

As they grew, Magnus & Girak-Kaine went with their mother to Malsheem, and continued to grow large, strong and powerful in the Force. They share an oddly preferential relationship with their emotionally-distant father, receiving more of his personal attention and parenting than most, if not all other Zambrano children. He is aware most of all the position he holds, the eldest twins of Kaine Zambrano's favoured Beloved Gunnr, with jealous and fierce eyes upon them at all times.

Magnus battles ferociously against any, who comes in the way, to prove his place by his father's side, protect his siblings and aide his mother.
