Character Synposis

A Light Warrior from a different dimension, Lagnus is pretty much the definition of the word 'hero'. He's strong, durable, and just doesn't know when to give up - even when it's detrimental to his own health! Lagnus takes his job as a warrior very seriously, willing to sacrifice himself at a moments notice if it means saving someone else, and he's always putting others before himself. Lagnus is also incredibly impulsive and emotional, he follows his heart and gut strongly and it's not strange to see him burst into tears or become filled with righteous fury on behalf of someone else - or rush into battle headfirst with his sword raised and a battle cry being screamed into the heavens.

He has to be careful with his battling, though, as he's been afflicted with the most peculiar of curses. Running out of magic and/or stamina causes a strange thing to happen - his physical body reverts back to that of a 10 year old child! In this state he's seriously nerfed and can't really do much except find somewhere safe to rest and recover, and he's also very short tempered and grumpy due to the circumstances. Lagnus is also afflicted with another curse that 'beckons disaster' AKA gives him horrible bad luck. It can range from an inconvenience to causing a full blown disaster. For example, on one end of the scale his pants fell down in front of Arle, exposing his boxers to her when he was trying to show how powerful he was, but on the other end of the scale he inadvertently brought Yog-kind to Arle's world and almost caused its destruction. It can be pretty extreme at times, and it causes him extreme guilt when his curse affects other people or their homes.

Another thing; even though he looks 18, he's actually almost 400 years old! He became a hero at the young age of 15 after being declared one by his world's goddess, Eldora, so he's had a LOOOOONG time to practice this hero business, not mentioning the fact his family were KNOWN for being heroic - it runs in his blood!

Character History

Here's one!
This timeline should help too!
Oh! And take this translation too~

Headcanons

Continuity

Continuity-wise, this Lagnus is mainly based upon his Madou Saturn interpretation and takes the Madou timeline into account. Due to said timeline being canon for this Lagnus, this means he sealed Rune Lord into the ruined capital of Rana 350 years before Arle was born, and this also predates Schezo encountering Rune Lord by 150 years. Due to how the mun calculated his age from this timeline, his true age is 384, though he looks like a normal 18 year old (as in Shin Madou Gaiden he was 18 when he defeated Rune Lord). Speaking of Shin Madou, this Lagnus takes that into account as well - or the bits of info the mun can decipher anyway. Defeating Rune Lord, Yoggus, and Yog Swartus is canon to this Lagnus. So is possessing Schezo and journeying with Arle and friends across her world.

Puyo SUN is also canon to this Lagnus - the mun deciding the reason why he was so... unpleasant was that the heat was making him incredibly grumpy and he was in his child form. Chronicle is also canon - though the mun only knows a little bit about it so details may be shaky.

Appearance

Clothing
Lagnus wears his Madou Saturn attire normally, the only difference being his shoulder pads are a suitable size because seriously what the hell are those??? In colder climates, he'll wear his YON outfit, and as a child, his armour hangs off his body like this.

Body
He wears gloves for a reason. If you saw under the gloves you'd find very scarred, very calloused hands. His fingers are adorned with magic-induced lightning strike-like scars and he's VERY ashamed of them because they remind him that he's not as strong as he could or should be with his magic. Speaking of scars, his body is absolutely COVERED in them. That's what you get when you're always rushing into battle like Leeroy Jenkins.

Also due to his nature as a centuries year old travelling warrior who wears heavy armour and wields a heavier blade, the dude's pretty jacked under all that gear. Eat your greens, kids, maybe one day you too will become a buff, strong light warrior.

Age
He keeps his true age (384) a secret and pretends to be a regular 18 year old - he feels it's easier this way instead of making everyone worry due to the fact he'll outlive 99.9% of people.
Luckily his appearance isn't in line with his true age - he'd be a living fossil if it did!

Personality

Attitude to Failure
Lagnus can't stand failure at all, he'll beat himself up over every little thing constantly - even if it wasn't his fault he failed in the first place. When the Yogs were brought into Arle's world due to them following him he was ready to sacrifice himself for the greater good, but also because he felt he deserved it. God forbid someone he's supposed to look after gets seriously harmed - Lagnus would never forgive himself and he'd be in a deep depression until someone could snap him out of it.

Self-Sacrificing
Other people suffering is something that really really doesn't sit well with Lagnus. Doesn't matter how horrible something is, Lagnus will always offer himself to do it so someone else doesn't have to - even if that thing could prove to be fatal to him. 

He feels he's not allowed to rest either due to how important his warrior work is - he frequently works himself to exhaustion due to this trait as he fears the moment he takes a rest someone will be injured or worse. Getting him to rest is a hard task so good luck getting him to listen if you try and suggest so.

Emotions
Lagnus is a very emotional man! It's not uncommon to see him cry for someone or be consumed with rage on someone's behalf, and a lot of the time he can say things he doesn't mean or do something he'll regret due to his emotions getting the better of him. The guy follows his heart and instincts strongly, and while he can resist for a while, he'll ultimately end up doing whatever his gut tells him to do - for better or worse.

Recklessness
DON'T HAVE LAGNUS IN YOUR PARTY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO BE SNEAKY, IT'LL END BADLY. His clunky, noisy armour aside, Lagnus will completely blow his cover if he sees someone's hurt or needs protecting/saving, and he'll totally charge in without a care in the world, stealth mission be damned. You won't be able to stop him unless you restrain him either. Yeah, just don't bring him along to a mission that requires a delicate touch unless you like pain and failed missions.

Regression Curse
While he keeps his adult mindset when he's regressed, his demeanour overall turns a lot more childlike. You know when a young kid is tired and they start getting really grumpy and whiny? Yeah, that's Kidnus in a nutshell. He'll also lose some of that trademark bravery of his and act a bit more shyer and timid - especially if someone points out how much of a load he is when he's aged down; it's because he's ashamed of his regression!

Protectiveness
Lagnus' got a big brother instinct something fierce. Stemming from his hatred of seeing people upset, he'll always jump to help someone out even out of combat. Need a shoulder to cry on? Someone to vent too? Lagnus is your guy.

...Maybe don't ask for advice when he's regressed, though, he might be a bit snippy with you...

Miscellaneous 

Dark Magic Weakness
When there's dark magic in the air, expect Lagnus to... not be at his best. Breathing it in constantly due to it being in the atmosphere will mean that he's gonna be pretty unsteady on his feet, woozy even! He'll push through of course since he's as stubborn as a mule, but maaaybe it'd be best to leave Lagnus behind if you're journeying somewhere full of such magic - if you want to avoid seeing Lagnus throw up his breakfast, anyway.

Writing Sample

Lagnus’ holy magic would usually be very effective against foes such as these, so to see it have as much effect as a stiff breeze instilled panic inside his core. The fact that everyone else’s attacks did diddly squat just intensified his feeling of helplessness. What could they do now? He’d say retreat but surely these beasts would just catch up to them in no time, and there was part of his pride that didn’t WANT to run away – he wanted to stay and fight.

But these people needed protecting. He couldn’t allow any harm to come of them. If they were hurt he’d never forgive himself. A warrior is there to protect the innocent!

“Everyone, get behind me now! Allow me to be your sword and shield!”

His sword was pulled out, held up defensively but ready to attempt to cut them down should they approach the group. Even if he got badly injured from using himself as a sacrificial lamb, it didn’t matter at all to him as long as everyone else was safe.

Unique Mechanic - Mana System

Alongside his health, Lagnus has a mana pool of 100 points which depletes with every non-utility ability that's used. Each ability has its own cost, and once his mana reaches critical status (5%) his Age Regression ability kicks in and his body reduces to that of a child's, meaning he cannot fight at all apart from basic actions. Lagnus can regain his adult body if his mana levels are brought above 25%, though he'll be tired and that will be reflected in his mannerisms. How does he regain mana? Lagnus gains a portion (50%) of mana back whenever he is healed - either from items or abilities - and he also passively gains mana very slowly at a rate of 2 points per turn. 

Abilities (7)

Age Regression (Utility)
When Lagnus' mana drops to critical (5%) levels, his body regresses to that of a 10-year-old child's! In this state he's basically useless, and he can't regain his adult body until his mana totals to at least 25%. This can be achieved by being healed by either another person or using recovery items. Resting also works. This also has the added effect of making him look pretty adorable due to his armour suddenly being too big for him.


Metal Repair (Utility)
Lagnus is able to make repairs to metal objects on the fly. Roll 1d20+Strength to repair the item. If the result is high enough to bring the item back to positive health, the heal is successful and the item becomes functional again. Else, the attempt is a failure and the item is destroyed unless it is of rare quality or above, in which case it simply remains unrepairable for the thread.


Light Slash (Mana cost: 3)
A heavy but simple vertical sword attack, Lagnus puts his veteran swordsman skills to use and swings at a foe! (Strength attack, 10 damage)


Mega Reibu (Mana cost: 8)
Lagnus takes a turn to charge his hands with electrical magic before shooting orbs of electricity towards his foes. On critical these orbs explode into an electrical storm (warning: flashing images) that causes paralysis. (One turn charge period, Thaumaturgy attack, 23 damage)


Gaia Healing (Mana cost: 11)
Lagnus summons a soothing healing shower to rain down from the heavens on himself and his allies, refreshing and rejuvenating his entire party. (1d5+Healing, 3 turn cooldown)


Kyuukyoku-no Ichigeki (Mana cost: 20)
Lagnus leaps forward and throws his weight behind a downward swing onto an enemy's head! On critical this will knock the enemy unconscious. 


Final Cross (Mana cost: 30)
Functioning as Lagnus' ultimate attack, this isn't something to be trifled with. It's only used in dire circumstances due to the mana cost, so he saves this for when the big guns need bringing out. Charging his blade, Lagnus rushes forward and deals two heavy slices in a holy cross pattern on his foe, aiming to do serious harm. Has a 10% chance to stun, but on critical this will inflict the mortal wound status instead. Scary stuff. Due to how much energy this takes, this attack has a 5 turn cooldown.  (Strength attack, 30 damage, 5 turn cooldown)
