What do you look like?
Eric is an elderly looking gentleman in hair color only. Due to some of the experiments and genetic engineering he has done to himself in the past and being rejuvenated by Alpha the Ultimate Mutant he has the physical body of a young man in his prime. He is a mixture of age so to speak despite his long chronological time here on Earth.

He dresses in a suit of red and purple for purposes unknown. Typically when trying to blend in he will wear simple street clothing suitable to a man his age. A long coat, some gloves, a fedora or some other kind of hat, etc. Usually though he is seen in his suit complete with purple cape and specially designed helmet.

What kind of personality do you have?
The first and most noticeable thing about Magnus' personality is his unfaltering concern, love, and protective nature of the mutant race and their future. His number one desire in life is to see to it that mutants are secure in their future and protect them from the events of a holocaust like the one he survived back in World War II. This combines itself with a slightly Darwinist philosophy of survival of the fittest to conclude that mutants are not merely equal to humans they are superior, and they are the future. Thus in order to protect mutants and their future Magnus thinks nothing of harming or killing humans since they are a lesser being.

Magnus is also extremely militant in his thinking and has a slightly scientific perception of the world. He is a genius in sciences concerning genetic manipulation and engineering and combines this with his skill in tactics and strategies with his militantism and uses the resources available to him at maximum efficiency.

He tends not to accept defeat and will only retreat when his loss has become clear to him. Attack, or tactical retreat, but never surrender.

Character History
The man known as Magnus was born sometime in the late nineteen twenties, reaching puberty sometime during the year 1940. He grew up in a simple Jewish home, but this life did not last. After witnessing the brutal murder of his family by the Nazis he was sent to Auschwitz death camp where he was forced to serve in the Sonderkommando. He was forced to help operate the gas chambers of the camp.

While in Auschwitz Magnus met and fell in love with a gypsy girl his age named Magda. Together they survived the holocaust and later married. Soon after Magnus' daughter Anya was born to him and his wife. The first time Magnus used his abilities it was to save his daughter from their burning home. Unable to do it successfully because of his inexperience with his abilities. This combined with the rampaging mob of angry humans due to the use of his abilities caused him a great amount of emotional duress in which he uncotrollably released the brunt of his powers mercilessly slaughtering the angry mob. Fearful of him his wife fled from him later finding out that she was pregnant and giving birth to twins at Wundagore Mountain.

In order to flee from his pursuers Magnus established a fake identiy as Erik Lensherr which he has used ever since, save for the name of Magnus which he claims as his own. In fleeing from his pursuers Magnus' travels led him to Israel where he began to work in a psychiatric hospital just outside of Haifa.

There he established a friendship with Charles Xavier with whom he shared lengthy debates hypothesizing what would happen if a race of super powered beings were to emerge from humanity. The two of them revealed their true natures to each other while trying to prevent Nazi war criminal Baron Wolfgang von Strucker from obtaining a large amount of Nazi gold. This caused a cave in which seemingly killed Strucker. Magnus took the gold and left, fearing a nother holocaust he took an aggressive and lethal stance against humanity.

Magneto has seemingly died several times, always found or revived by those sympathetic with his cause. In the one case he was revived by Alpha the Ultimate Mutant he was rejuvenated far beyond normal means which has caused the lack of his physical aging. Now he's back once again and ready to avenge the mutants killed in genocide on Mutant Island and continue the war against Humanity.

If you have them, what are your Meta human or mutant abilities?
Magnus has the ability to control all forms of magnetism allowying him to shape and manipulate magnetic fields. Whether he can generate magnetic force or must draw it from outside of himself is unclear but unimportant. The nature of his abilities is assumed to be physiological in nature but could possibly be Psionic as he has exhibited slight telepathic abilities. These exhibited abilities include astral projection, mind reading, projection of thoughts, and has claimed to be able to control minds though these abilities appear to be minimal and untrained.

His main power is his manipulation of magnetic force. He can use this ability in more than one way simultaneously. He can completely assemble a complicated machine within seconds using his abilities to manipulate the metals. He can also use magnetic force to create a high density field around himself with a high degree of imperviousness.

Although this primary ability of control over magnetism he can also manipulate any kind of electromagnetic energy. This includes visible light, radio waves, ultraviolet light, gamma radiation, and x-rays. However He doesn't use this ability very often as it is more dificult for him to manipulate these other forms of energy.

His ability to wield his powers effectively is related to his physical condition. When severely injured his body is unable to withstand the strain of manipulating great amounts of magnetic force.

Do you carry any conventional weapons or have any unusual non-mutation related skills?
Magnus is skilled in the areas of science related to technology and genetics. In these fields he has a knowledge far above and beyond contemporary human science and is considered to be a genius.

The only substantial weapon that Magnus uses is the helmet that he wears on his head which prevents telepathic intrusion or psionic attacks. However in the past he has been known to design technological weaponry and machines in order to assist him.
