MAGNUS FYTHE

RP Timeline

TL;DR

Stolen away from their Vieran tribe to become a test subject for a Garlean experiment, Magnus Fythe was groomed to marry the disciplines of Garlean assassins of yore, and contemporary wandering minstrels, through the application of classified auracite. The auracite used however, purportedly contained memories related to a white-haired male, clad in a white robe from an undetermined time period.After decades of trials, Magnus would eventually taste freedom resulting from the chaos of the Garlean civil war, and with assistance from an Ishgardian co-conspirator from the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, found refuge in Ishgard for a period.Due to a scant resemblance to the Warrior of Light, Magnus was roped into assisting the Scions during The Final Days, and with the appearance of Pandæmonium in the Aetherial Sea.

Pre-ARR - ARR

As a young infant, Magnus Fythe was spirited away from their birth parents by a Garlean scientific team, for the purposes of experimenting with white auracite, and combining combat techniques from myriad disciplines.Growing up, Magnus had a strict, cold upbringing by whichever scientists were cycled in and out of the project. By the time Magnus was of age for to begin experimentation in full, they were taught the theory necessary to back any abilities that could potentially be imparted through auracite.The auracite used to experiment on Magnus, unbeknownst to the researchers, contained memories related to a young, white-haired man, clad in a long, white robe from days of yore.The goal of the experiment however, was to impart combat techniques of Reapers and Bards, and as such, Magnus was deemed a technical failure, as the abilities found in Reapers had not manifested in Magnus.

Heavensward

During the events of the Dragonsong War, the unit commanded by Regula van Hydrus, the VIth Imperial Legion, would be brought along for the events of The Warring Triad in Azys Lla.Tasked with keeping tabs on the Warrior of Light, Magnus Fythe would bear witness to the might of the Warrior of Light, but avoided contact, wary of what they might do to a Garlean soldier that might approach.Magnus' commanding officer, Regula van Hydrus eventually would encounter Zurvan, and ultimately perish. In the chaos, the VIth Imperial Legion would break formation, giving Magnus the opportunity to escape.

Stormblood to Base-Shadowbringers

Magnus' newfound freedom would be short lived. After being marked a traitor, orders had come in to take them in. Without being fortunate enough to run into assistance while on the run though, Magnus didn't make it very far.Upon being captured, Magnus would be delivered to Terncliff, for further experimentation for years to come. In that time, Magnus would frequently slip in and out of consciousness, experiencing events occurring on The First, as if they were alongside Elidibus, rather than experiencing it alongside the Warrior of Light. Magnus, however, would assume that these were naught but delirious "dreams".Memories belonging to Magnus' Ancient-equivalent would resurface as their time on The First progressed, finding that their past self was once intimate with Themis, before he took on the role of Elidibus. During the final encounter between the Warrior of Light and Elidibus, Magnus would be powerless to the events unfolding before them. These "dreams" haven't occurred since.

Post-Patch Shadowbringers to Endwalker

Despite being delivered to Terncliff, Magnus was fortunate enough to be spared the full brunt of experimentation at the hands of The Weapon Project.However, what powers had failed to manifest in Magnus in previous scientific trials had begun to surface. Magnus had been able to call upon a sundered, cloaked being at will, however, that being seemed devoid a will of its own, despite seeming Ascian-like in appearance.Not long after the experiments had bore fruit, the facility that housed Magnus would be discovered by Estinien, who had create a window for escape. Indebted to Estinien, Magnus would then join up with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, growing increasingly intimate with Estinien.Having joined the Scions, Magnus would occasionally get mistaken in public for the Warrior of Light, as both of them had pale skin with a penchant for black raiments. As a result, Magnus would frequently get roped into assisting with various matters, including the events of Pandæmonium.

Dawntrail

With the Scions of the Seventh Dawn disbanded in a formal capacity, Magnus would take a brief reprieve in Ishgard, before travelling to Tural alongside Estinien.
