Magnus Arkadios - Headmaster

[Magnus Arkadios]

Name: Magnus Arkadios
Age: 42
Appearance: Magnus is, to say the very least, a very large and imposing man. Standing at 6'3'' and having a heavily muscular build, he comes across as someone you don't want to mess with. Ever. His eyes are brown, and his hair is red. He almost always keeps his hair short and messy, and he also likes to grow out a beard...strangely enough, he dislikes mustaches, so he keeps his upper lip shaved at all times. Only on very special occasions does he do anything that even comes close to resembling grooming, and even then, it would take an act of God to make him shave his beard.

As for his outfit...yeah. He tends to dress up as a character from some sort of fantasy anime. No one knows why, and the few who have bothered to ask never got a straight answer. The most noticeable part of his outfit is his cape. It's large enough that he could almost wrap it around his body if he wanted to, and has a large fur trim, which sits around his shoulders and is kept together with a single black strap. The rest of his outfit include a form-fitting sleeveless shirt, which is made to look like armor for some reason, a large belt, and large, loose-fitting pants. On his feet, he wears boots, and on his forearms are arm-guards. Both have a fur trim, similar to his cape.

Personality: Despite his imposing appearance, Magnus is actually a very carefree and kindhearted man. He is the polar-opposite of his predecessor in that, while Tao was shrouded in mystery, Magnus is very straightforward and easy to read. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however, as it also means he is a very honest man, and he is always true to his word. And despite his carefree attitude, he takes his job and position very seriously. Usually he is easy-going, and knows when to let certain things slide, but if a student breaks a major rule (or otherwise does something incredibly stupid), especially if, in doing so, they endanger other students and/or Pokemon, then he will come down on them like the fist of an angry god. He also has zero tolerance for any sort of cheating, or otherwise taking advantage of the opponent in an unfair manner. When he wants to, he can just as scary as he is large.

At times, he seems to have a little too much fun. Especially when one considers the way he dresses, it's not hard to imagine that he views himself as the protagonist of some random anime or video game. Especially when he occasionally goes running around and calls himself an "Ally of Justice" or something equally cheesy. But one thing remains clear, regardless of what he's doing. He enjoys helping others, and has tremendous respect for those who always give it their all. Given that he is the headmaster of a school, it probably goes without saying that he is an incredibly skilled and powerful trainer. With nearly 30 years of experience under their belt, one would have to be. And yet, he is very humble about his skills, which is something you wouldn't expect from a guy like him.

Last but not least, he is, to the surprise of many, a family man. He has a wife and daughter, both of whom is very loving toward, and their happiness and safety is always his top priority. This does doubly for his daughter. Much to her embarrassment, he is very doting and protective of her, often causing a scene if he so much as thinks something might be wrong with her. Naturally, he always has the best intentions in mind, but pity the poor fool who decides to make a move on her, only to have a very large man giving him a death-glare so epic that even the most badass of men would crap themselves.

History: Not a whole lot is known about Magnus' past. Obviously, he was a trainer, and he was raised somewhere in the Unova Region, as evidenced by the fact that his Golurk was his first Pokemon. Since Golett is relatively common in the Dragonspiral Tower, it's often speculated that he might have come from Icirrus City, though he's yet to confirm or deny this. One thing that is known is that, when he was about 18 or 19, he defeated the Unova Elite Four and it's Champion. At the age of 24, he was defeated by a challenger, and therefore lost the title. It was then that he met the girl of his dreams. Before long, they got married and, a couple years later, his daughter was born.

In the following years, he happily raised his daughter, who is now about to turn 16, with his wife. Occasionally, he entered a Pokemon battle tournament, in which he was always a force to be reckoned with. He won almost all of the tournaments he entered, thus earning him quite a large following. He even helped new trainers out, giving them lessons and otherwise offering advice on how to improve themselves and their Pokemon. Were he not the type who was unable to sit down and focus on one thing for a long time, his knowledge of Pokemon would have easily allowed him to become a professor...but alas, he didn't have the patience for it. One day, he was approached by a group of people from the Pokemon Academy. As it turned out, their Headmaster was, for reasons he was never told, forced to resign. Aware of his reputation and experience as a trainer, they felt that he would be a suitable candidate to replace him. He needed a moment to consider it, but, eventually he gladly accepted the offer. Thus, his new life as the Headmaster at Pokemon Academy began.
