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.
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.

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.
