general AUs and a basic rundown of information

Warning for vague mentions of suicide, rape, and abuse, and for City of Heavenly Fire spoilers.

Canon: 800 year-old High Warlock of Brooklyn. Born into a religious family. Mother committed suicide thinking she birthed the spawn of Satan. Step-father was generally abusive and tried to drown him in a creek when he was ten. Magnus lashed out with magic and burned him alive. He was then taken in by the Silent Brothers, who raised him until he came of age. His real father is the Prince of Hell, Asmodeus.

Human AUs: The result of his mother's rape. She committed suicide when he was little. His Ste-father was generally abusive. He was eventually relocated to foster care when he was little (about two). Bounced between a couple of homes before landing with a nice Hispanic family that adopted him. Has any number of foster siblings.

Criminal: Twenty-six years old. Finished high school, never went to college. Becoming a hitman for hire was a last-ditch effort to not starve to death. It's been working so far, so he doesn't think about it much. He's damn good at his job and damn good at keeping his occupation a secret.

Celebrity: Fresh out of high school, he couldn't afford college, and wound up picking up jobs as a local model (small local ads and some modeling for various art classes). After several months of struggling, he was discovered by a big-time agent, and his career exploded from there. Now he models for all sorts of big businesses and companies. He's currently twenty-five.

College: On some crazy off chance, he manages to score enough scholarships and grants and financial aid to attend college. He's attending NYU and majoring in history with a minor in business. For a while, he was working in the campus library as work-study. He eventually quit that and became a stripper instead; it pays better.

High school: Out as 'a freewheeling bisexual' since sophomore year. Goes to a shitty Brooklyn public school where, more often than not, he gets harassed (for any number of things, really: not being straight, being poor, being a foster kid, not being white, being flamboyant, being a nerd, etc.) Thankfully, his foster siblings do a pretty good job of keeping an eye on him (though that doesn't stop him from getting the shit beaten out of him occasionally). Likes going to parties, getting drunk and stoned, and experimenting with many different things.


Harry Potter AU: A seventh year, half-blood, Ravenclaw. His mother was a muggle and his father is a wizard (a Death Eater who used a Polyjuice Potion to fool his mother into thinking he was her husband). His mother committed suicide when he started showing magical abilities, thinking he was a demon. His step-father treated him poorly and he was eventually swept into a wizarding foster home. Doesn't play quidditch, but likes hanging around for the eye-candy. Spends a lot of time in the library, lounging on the tables and reading muggle and wizarding texts alike.

In Character Information


character name: Magnus Bane
Fandom: The Mortal Instruments
Timeline: Taken after City of Fallen Angels
character's age: Somewhere over 800 years old; appears to be 19

powers, skills, pets and equipment: Being a warlock, Magnus has extensive magical powers. He is the High Warlock of Brooklyn, meaning that he is a very powerful warlock. Many different species come to him for help with tasks and jobs they can’t do themselves. He uses his magic for a number of things, including powering his home appliances and getting Starbucks without moving from his spot. He’s quite skilled at healing magic and tracking spells. He knows several different languages, having been alive for so long and traveled to so many different places.

However, there are some limitations to his magic. When dealing with more powerful spells, he gets exhausted. Magic takes energy, and that’s something Magnus doesn’t have infinite amounts of. His spells can also be interfered with by other powerful magics.

In his possession, he has several spell books, including the very powerful Book of White, a spell book made by warlocks for warlocks. This book has a list of powerful and rare spells, including one to reverse a coma-like curse of a very powerful warlock. It’s also been hinted to have a spell to turn somebody immortal. He also has a pet cat named Chairman Meow. Magnus is pretty attached to him. Often times, the Chairman’s approval dictates whether or not Magnus will date a specific person. Magnus will not date people his cat doesn’t approve of.

So, in a nutshell, Magnus will be keeping all powers upon arriving in Scorched, he won’t gain any new ones, but they’ll definitely be affected by the mist. He’ll be arriving with his cat, and his spell books will arrive through the door later on.

canon history: Wiki page

personality: Living for over 800 years can do a lot to one's personality. What it's done for Magnus Bane is make him confident beyond belief. His self-esteem is incredibly high, so much so that he's often considered arrogant or cocky. There isn't a single doubt in his mind that he's good-looking, with or without all of his make-up and glitter. Not only is he confident in his looks, but he's also confident in his powers. He's very aware of the fact that he's a powerful warlock. Sometimes, he'll even go as far as to remind people just what he can do with his powers. He's secure enough in himself that he often flaunts his sexuality (he’s a self-proclaimed “freewheeling bisexual) by wearing tight clothes, rainbow, leather, and large amounts of glitter in his hair, on his face, and splashed onto his clothes. He does nothing to hide his demon marks, his golden-green cat eyes and lack of a belly-button. He flirts shamelessly with whoever he pleases without the fear of being rejected, simply because he usually isn't. He's very used to getting what he wants when it comes to people.

Being alive for so long has also given him a sense of adventure. He gets bored easily, and as a result, has had to find something to keep him entertained. A lot of the time, it's the people he surrounds himself with who entertain him the most. After all, the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human race. They never fail to surprise him. One of his favorite things to do is try to pull reactions out of them. He’ll say things to make them stumble and trip over their words in an attempt to form a response. Magnus, though, is never at a loss for words. Overall, he just likes to have fun; when he does, the joy is always clear in his eyes.

Despite his fun-loving personality and snarky comments, he's very wise. He's been through many situations, having lived for so long. He never fails to learn valuable lessons from them. He has a thirst for knowledge, and he'll never get tired of learning new things. Whether it's spells, facts, trivia, or scientific discoveries, he'll want to know about them. He likes keeping a foot in the door with all kinds of species (Shadowhunters, vampires, werewolves, fairies, and even humans) so that he always knows what’s going on. He's accepting and respectful of every species, not only because he believes in equality, but also to stay on their good side, because he's a very peaceful warlock. Those whom he befriends have gained a loyal friend. While he won’t do favors for most people, he’ll do them for the people he really cares about. He holds a seemingly endless amount of patience when he needs it, and rarely does his temper get away from him. Unfortunately, when it does, it often presents itself in iced, finely minced words, molded and sharpened to strike whoever he’s talking to right where it hurts. He’ll never apologize right away (because sometimes he lets his pride get the better of him), but when he does, it’s always an “I’m sorry,” accompanied by an extravagant gift. Nobody can ever say he does things small.

Magnus is pretty open with his emotions when it comes to the people he trusts the most. It's rare for him to hide it when he's hurt, angry, or upset when he’s around said people. Though, while he's open about his emotions, he's very closed off about his past. He doesn't like talking about it, not even to those who are closest to him. He doesn't think the past should matter, not when you can live in the present. He has a fairly cynical view of the world. His fascination with humans has taught him that most of them are inherently selfish, and that they often only do things when there’s something in it for them. Granted, he doesn’t often do things when there’s nothing in it for him, but it’s part of his job to require payment for the things he does.

He’s claimed to be a lover, not a fighter. Parts of his history are dark; he has blood on his hands, skeletons in the closet, and he’s done things he’s not very proud of. If he can help it, he’ll refrain from fighting, from being violent. He’s far more inclined to work things out with words. That said, he has fought in wars before (namely the Uprising, a war that took place in his world between Downworlders like himself and a group of Shadowhunters sworn to wipe out all the Downworlders), and he’ll do it again if he feels like his life, his freedom, or his loved ones are at risk.

His almost year long stay in Anatole the first time only taught him a few things. Namely, don’t drink with your boyfriend’s sister, unless you want to end up accidentally kissing her and have the whole situation explode in your face later. Also, not telling said boyfriend about said kiss is a very bad idea, even if the chances of him finding out are slim to none. Because he will find out and he will be pissed. He’s also given himself the title High Warlock of Anatole, and he’ll be damned if he lets anybody take that away from him.

why do you feel this character would be appropriate to the setting?
Magnus, being a warlock, has nearly unlimited magical powers. I believe he would be appropriate to this setting for that reason. He has powers that could be momentarily lost when the mist comes in. It’s also possible that his powers could grow when the mist comes along.

The world he comes from and the things he’s gone through are pretty dark. Sadly, situations like these are somewhat similar to ones he’s already gone through in the grim, creepy factor.

Writing Samples


Network Post Sample: Dear_Mun post!


Third Person Sample: Waking up in an unfamiliar room in an unfamiliar bed isn’t a first for Magnus, or even a second or third. It’s just that it hasn’t happened in so long. That kind of behavior is something he grew out of hundreds of years ago. So why is it that he’s finding himself in such a situation?

Magnus pulls himself out of bed, pressing the heel of his hand to his aching head. At least there’s nobody there to wake up to. Talk about awkward.

“Meow.”

A cat (his cat) jumps up onto the bed, looking up at Magnus with large gold eyes. What on earth is his cat doing in a stranger’s room? Unless... the room doesn’t belong to a stranger. Maybe it belongs to him.

He goes to the window and yanks the curtain back.

“London?” Of course, that’s where his mind goes first. London is full of familiarity, excitement, and heartache. He can smell the gas lamps and hear the horses’ hooves on the cobblestone paths. He remembers the parties, remembers a boy with unruly black hair and alarming blue eyes. He remembers a girl with brown hair and a torn up life.

But no, this isn’t London. There’s something off about this place. The people walking below aren’t dressed quite right. Some of them are dressed from completely different eras.

Taking an unsteady step back from the window, Magnus exhales slowly. If this is the result of magic, he’s never heard of a spell that can do this. This isn’t time travel or portaling. There is nowhere on the planet Earth like this place. He would know, with how much he travels around it.

So is it a completely different world?

“Well, there’s only one way to find out, isn’t there, Chairman?” He turns to look at his cat, who just blinks. “First things first: find something else to wear. Then... well, then we explore.”

Anything else? I played Magnus here once before, for almost a year. This is a reapp.

Romantic Love




CANONMATES
ISABELLE LIGHTWOOD
nolessthanseven

Magnus never thought he would ever be as close to Isabelle than he is now. Rarely does he do the BFF thing (if they're not immortal, they die, and that's just sad), but he honestly wouldn't hesitate to say Isabelle has that position. They shop together, have sleepovers with ice cream and cheesy romcoms, and minus that one awkward time they got really drunk, they generally move along smoothly. They're in a good place right now, and he can always depend on her to talk sense into him when he's not thinking too clearly. (Like that one time he was forever drunk and mildly inappropriate with everybody except his boyfriend.)
ALEXANDER LIGHTWOOD
not_trivial

His boyfriend. A fact that Magnus is quite happy about. And at risk of sounding terribly corny, Alec is more accurately the love of his ridiculously long life. He loved many times in the past, but what he has with Alec is so much brighter and intense. Despite all the hang ups and speed bumps they've come across while in Anatole, they're in a pretty good place right now, and he'd like to keep it that way.
JACE HERONDALE
ignis

He doesn't hate Jace. Doesn't even dislike him, really. What he doesn't like, though, is knowing Alec would give his life for Jace. Magnus can't help but to resent him for that. He does, at times, enjoy their banter and arguing, with how lighthearted and easy it usually is. He'll do favors for Jace only because Alec would want him to.
CLARY FRAY
artem

To be honest, he'd be hesitant to consider Clary a friend. But he's known the girl her entire life, watched her grow up, even if she was unaware of it, and it's sort of difficult to call somebody only an acquaintance after that. So friend it is. She's cute and she's good company and he does enjoy talking to her. Even if her arrival at that party way back when was where all his problems started.
SEBASTIAN VERLAC
acherontamovebo

There's not really much to be said here. Sebastian is bad and Magnus hates him. End of story.
SIMON LEWIS
maccabeus

Magnus has a blast with buying and/or stealing things to dress Simon in. Eventually, they're going to be the only two left, whether they like it or not, and if Magnus is stuck with him for all of eternity, he's going to make sure he dresses better. Magenta is totally Simon's color, and it's not just a fancy purple, thank you.
GABRIEL LIGHTWOOD
gabriellightwood

He never got to know the youngest Lightwood boy very well way back when. But since he's currently dating said Lightwood's great-great-great grandson, maybe now's a good time to do so.




CROSSCANON
GELLERT GRINDELWALD
thegreatergood

Not only is Gellert wildly talented and intelligent, but he's also unfairly attractive, which are three good reasons to be friends with him, Magnus thinks. He enjoys Gellert's company and looks forward to dueling him again.
DRACO MALFOY
alphaophiuchi

Magnus either hates Draco or he likes Draco, there is no in between. Half the time he has to quell the urge to turn Draco into a pretty blonde coat rack, the other half the time he sort of just wants to stare at him and think about how cute and impressive he can be. It's weird.
KAI-LIANG
yshariprodigy

He doesn't know Kai very well, but fellow magic users are always fun. Especially fellow magic users who wear nice leather pants and are fun to hit on. Not that he's doing that anymore. Not since he got in Big Trouble for it. But still. Kai is decent company.




GONE HOME
JESSAMINE LOVELACE
halfthelady

Jessamine is difficult to get along with. She's difficult period, really. Magnus has tried a few times to be civil to her, but has since deemed it to be impossible. Now, he's quite content with getting into arguments and bickering with her.
WILLIAM HERONDALE
galahads

William is a strong memory from his distant past. He's already witnessed his death once, and doesn't know if having him back here, young, alive and kicking is what he wants. However, he's not going to turn down the opportunity to see him again. Will treated him like an equal, not the way Shadowhunters generally treat warlocks, and that means something.
BELA TALBOT
onsilksheets

He doesn't know Bela very well, but she's shown concern and kindness towards him, and he's appreciates it. He's also extended his services to her, though she's yet to take him up on the offer.
HARRY POTTER
wholived

Whatever his relationship is with this kid, he really doesn't mind. First they couldn't stop spilling the truth to each other, then they were in love for a day. Then Magnus bought him drinks and, well. He's good company, at least.
ANDERS
justice_is_blond

From the few times Magnus has talked to him, Anders seems like a decent guy. So far, they've agreed on a large amount of issues, including the battle between good and evil, species equality, and cats. Magnus would love to talk to him more, to see the kind of magical abilities he wields.
