• Personality|Magus tends to keep his skills to himself, always the humble one. Staying away from most, he lives in the shadows, most never even lay eyes on him, his past roughening him up into the warrior he is. A wise one though, having years of experience in his warrior like skills he fights to become stronger, and one day find his sister trough the ages of time.

Equipment

• NightmareScythe|A mere glance at the scythe will send you into a world of nightmares. It's long black ebony pole, crafted from only the finest elven wood. On each side of the scythe are pikes, at the base, and at the tip, allowing for full ranged combat defence from the back and front. The Scythe blade itself curves inward, a nightmarish sight to behold your eyes upon. The scythe may only be wielded by those who are able to wield shadow magick, yet even that power is not enough as one must be of Magus' line to wield the almighty strength of the NightmareScythe. If another attempts to wield the powerful weapon, the shadow magicks within will overwhelm the user having a varying effect on different people. Can double as a spear due to the pikes on either end of the scythe. The scythe blade can also retract and extend.
• Gloom Cape|Magus' cape, allowing him to move freely yet providing protection and boosting his speed and magickal ability at the same time. The cape was created by an ancient smith, who created four pieces of armour for Magus the NightmareScythe, Gloom Cape, Gloom Helm, and Doom Boots. The cape allows Magus to move faster then normal, and it flows behind him, a fightening crimson colour, for those few who live encounters with Magus, this crimson coloured cape, burns into their minds for eternity eventualy driving them to literal insanity.
• Gloom Helm|Magus' helm, he rarley wears it unless going into a great battle. TH ehelm provides total protection for his skull, and allows him infared, and night eyesight. His senses are hightened ten fold in the helmet, as he is able to detect any enemy approaching, a very useful item indeed. The helm was created by an ancient smith, who created the four pieces of armour for Magus the NightmareScythe, Gloom Cape, Gloom Helm, and Doom Boots.
• Doom Boots|Steel covered boots, Magus always wears on his feet during battle, or mere guard duty. He uses them to raise his jumping ability, lifting him to amazing heights, the boots are also able to shoot out dark smoke, darkening the area, hiding him in the shadow of darkness. The boots were created by an ancient smith, who created the four pieces of armour for Magus the NightmareScythe, Gloom Cape, Gloom Helm, and Doom Boots.
• Mammon/Schala Pendant|When a great being was formed at the center of the earth in sixty-five million B.C. the world was thought doomed to an eternal ice age. in Twelve Hundread B.C. a technology was created to harnass this great beings power, the Mammon Machine. A certain red coloured stone was located with the power to control the Mammon Machine, this stone was made into a pendant and given to Magus' older sister, Schala. When Schala was sent into a time warp, Magus had taken the pendant and kept it to himself. Soon later the Mammon Machine was destroyed. The pendant allows total control of the elements, and frees the users mind of all distractions... including emotion, but all to an extent. The users mind cannot be controlled or decieved by any. The pendant contains powerful spirits who know when their master has been betrayed and rip through any thief brave enough to even touch the pendant. Magus named the pendant after his sister.

Historical Events|In 12,000 B.C. Janus Zeal was born in Zeal Kingdom. Zeal wasa civilization, far advanced any this world had and would ever know yet it had it's flaws. Those who were not able to use the ability known as magick were dumped below the "Sky Kingdom Zeal" and left like outcasts. Janus was born without the ability of magick, unlike his sister Schala who was far more adept in magick then even their mother. Janus although stayed in Zeal andwentto magick school every day, with his cat Alfador. During this time Alfador begun to learn magick, yet kept it a secret. One day when Janus' mother had begun harnassing the power of the mammon machine, far above it's normal capacity the "Great Being" rose. The Mammon Machine had been designed to harnass energy from the Great Being who slept underground since 65,000,000 B.C. The Great Being had sent Schala into the depths of time, Janus into 600 A.D. and Alfador into 2300 A.D. Janus was now left alone as a child, in a new world, until one day where a Mystic Leader, Ozzie had found him and raised him. Janus then became Magus and was far more adept in Magick then his sister ever was. Magus later betrayed Ozzie for the "greater good" and went on a journey to have his revenge. He first was sent to 2300 A.D. where he was reunited with Alfador. Then later he arrived in 1000 A.D where an old blind man had given im Schala's Lost Pendant. Later he arrived in Zeal Kingdom, and put his power hungry mother to rest, and destroyed the Great Being, all was good again, but there was left one thing for Magus. His sister Schala, was no where to be found, thus he began a new journey to find her. In his journeys to find Schala he entered a Demon Wood where he met many including a young Chaos Demon he presumed at first to be Schala, but later found out that she was not.
