MortixCorp's greatest "fraud".
Personality: Very quick witted, show-offy, and for some reason very friendly. Almost creepily so. He likes to dance around with his words, because he likes to keep many things hidden until they're presented in the nature of magic. He likes to show his skill off, and has a strong belief in not mixing magic and his power together- every single one of his magic tricks were not augmented by his powers in the slightest. He is very amiable, often easily engaging in conversations and making friends. However, under this he is almost too laid-back for his own good. He has a bad habit, in his laziness and vanity of underestimating opponents. He has been trying not to do this recently. He likes to smile, he likes to keep his mother happy. Anything regarding magic he will enthusiastically pursue, and despite all this, he seems to be like that eerie doll one keeps in the back of a shop. Staring, smiling, but cold and lifeless. On close inspection of course.
Strengths:
-Very skilled with his wordplay
-A master of Magic, without the use of his powers.
-A great understanding of machinery due to his graduating with a degree in engineering
-Dexterous, knows how to use his hands and body effectively.
-Plans ahead. Very far ahead.
Weaknesses:
-Physically weak
-Tends to be obsessive with his plans- if it goes awry he's going to be vulnerable
-Doesn't have much of a plan for people who actually can break through his power
-Not very subtle when it comes down to it- after all, he was raised to take the stage as a magician. He is memorable- which means he can be recognized and those who might have dealt with him will know something's up.
Clothing: Most of the time, the Magician is dressed in a neat suit-and-tie set. On stage, he dons the traditional top hat and want, as well as the tailed suit, white gloves, and bow-tie. When not wearing casual clothes, The Magician is often wearing a simple dress shirt, cargo pants with suspenders, and shined dress shoes.
Equipment: Two hidden knives, made of a vibration-based technology that allows it to slice or stab straight through armor. He also wears a ring that turns into a sharp spike when the head is twisted, a canteen on his hip, He carries little else aside from basic essentials in city life- such as his keys, wallet, and contact item.
History: He was adopted by a lonely mother named Hectate, who owned a small wonder-shop. The living conditions weren't pristine, but they were satisfactory and he was fairly happy during his upbringing. Growing up in a wonder shop lead the child to have an unnatural fascination with magic. He devoted himself into learning slight-of-hand tricks, illusions, and gimmicks using few items such as a length of rope or a coin and magnet. As he grew up, many realized the man had a silver tongue, and a wit as sharp as a knife's edge. He became known as the magician by his classmates, and before he graduated high school he was the entertainment during most of his school's drama acts during intermissions. He discovered his power shortly after graduating, performing a slightly difficult trick which involved a soda and coin- and accidentally dropping the coin. In his panic, he picked up the coin and continued- but for some reason the people who watched him didn't seem to notice. Their eyes had clouded over slightly. Mystified, the young man began looking into his powers. It would prove to be unsuccessful until he accidentally let them slip- tricking somebody into thinking that he was a coyote. A representative (who knew of this) from MortixCorp contacted Freya.
When he was brought to her, the Magician was surprised to see the head of Mortix being only a few years older than himself. What happened next was that the woman manipulated him into working for her- or so she claims. Of course, her arguments were very, very persuasive, but the real reason he joined was because he thought it would prove to be interesting. Learning to control his powers was a plus. He didn't buy into all that crap about riches and whatnot, because he and his mother were so used to living in a decent if-small house that they wouldn't know what to do with all the extra money or space anyways. Despite MortixCorp's pay being so high, he decided to work as a Magician as well- performing on stage for the people.
