Magnus Chase

Personality:   Magnus is a white teenage boy with hair parted in the middle, hanging to his jawline in a curtain of tangled, dirty blond. He has gray eyes, which have a haunted, scary emptiness to them, a look that had served him well when he'd lived on the streets. Initially, Magnus was quite scrawny, with a concave chest, sticking-out ribs and very pale skin, to the point that his blue veins were clearly visible. He also had a scar of his left palm, where he'd cut himself on a hunting knife as a child. However, after gaining an einherji body after his death in The Sword of Summer, Magnus, while still lean and pale, became considerably more muscular, with his arms being better-defined, his skin smoother, less translucent, with all the scars, rashes, nicks and bites that came from living on the street completely disappearing. Magnus describes the transformation as not nearly as dramatic as turning into Captain America, but very similar. According to his mother, Magnus resembles Kurt Cobain, though he also bears striking resemblance to his father, Frey. On the surface, Magnus shows a rather sarcastic and snarky persona. He often makes jabs at people he is frustrated at and shows little sense of reverence, as noted by Gunilla. He makes snide remarks both verbally and internally, though this decreases throughout the series as he grows more comfortable in his skin and his life. The reason he died was because he flipped off Surt and put his guard down. At the beginning of The Sword of Summer, he is very cynical after living on the streets for years and angry at the world, himself, and eventually, the gods. His anger is especially directed to rich people like his Uncle Randolph, who he refuses to associate with even years after the thanksgiving fight. He did not feel guilty about stealing from the rich and did it to survive, even feeling rage upon seeing them. The only reason he retained his kindness was the lessons he learned from his mother and the charitable acts from Amir Fadlan. On the flip side, his experiences led him to be very empathetic towards the less fortunate, and he does not judge people who are outside the social norm, like Alex Fierro. He thinks people who are different from him are fascinating and shows a want to get to know them. His open mindedness extends to other pantheons as well. He believes Annabeth upon learning about the Greek gods and would believe anyone who claims to be descended from the Greeks or Romans. Because of this, he is a very kind individual, which especially shows after The Hammer of Thor, but that side of him always existed since the beginning of the series. He learned sign language for Hearthstone, trusted Samirah and got her to open up to him, and was devastated when he saw Mallory and Halfborn fall in respective battles, sacrificing himself to heal the latter. He showed aggressive loyalty towards his friends, them being the only reason he stayed in Valhalla. Throughout the series, he would do anything for them, healing their physical and mental wounds, doing anything to understand them. This kindness and loyalty only continues, even beating Loki in a flyting in The Ship of the Dead by bragging about his friends’ deeds instead of insulting him. He is very generous, donating spare money to the homeless people of Boston, and later creating a homeless shelter for homeless youth with the help of Alex, Hearth, Blitz, and the Gods. Another one of his traits is that he has a very strong sense of justice. He doesn’t hesitate to defend the underdog, sacrificing his life to save innocent people from being on a burning bridge, and staying in Valhalla because it was the right thing to do. His sense of justice also caused him to think outside the box, choosing to not side with Loki because it was the right thing to do, and deciding to play by his own rules of defeating Loki rather than petty insults. He even vouched for Sigyn when no one else did, even including her stepchildren. But his justice is what drives him to be angry as well. He despises abusers, racists, ableists, and the rich, even stealing from someone who parked in a disabled parking spot when they were very much able-bodied. He was very angry upon entry to Valhalla because he felt other people deserved it more than him, like his mother. He also questions reality and does not follow people blindly: acknowledging that the Aesir are not good people and expressing frustration at them, and feeling disgusted upon finding out Loki was chained by the entrails of his children. He feels bad for Hunding due to his treatment by Hunding, always giving him chocolate and showing kindness when no one else did. He even called out the gods directly on the nature of his punishment at Vigridr. Along with his sense of justice, he dislikes pity and scorns people who give him sympathy or pity. He sees it as a useless emotion, rather wanting to fix things than not do anything. This is why he admires Amir Fadlan, since he helped him while he was homeless instead of leaving him alone. He is also very perceptive in many ways of the people around him, realizing early on that Halfborn and Mallory liked each other, and then noticing that the arguing was hurting the both of them. However, he also shows a sense of obliviousness, mainly not reading social cues and being able to discern boundaries. He often doesn’t notice when he goes too far until someone called him out for it. After that fact, though he still doesn’t magically gain social cues, he is a lot more aware of the gap and stopped trying to read her mind unless it was to save her life. Though, he is still very curious, asking questions, but he knows when to stop. Aside from the lack of social cues, his obliviousness comes from a sense of low self esteem. This does not improve at all throughout the series, and though he doesn’t express it, it is very much there internally. He refused to even refute the insults Loki gave him and didn’t think he deserved any credit for saving everyone, only accepting a reward when it would benefit other people. He feels guilty for other people’s misfortune, blaming himself for it because it’s easier to do that than blame anyone else. He lets people walk all over him, letting people tease him mercilessly and never saying anything. He sees himself as dorky, thinking he makes a fool of himself. Because of this, he does not notice or understand why people admire him. During the flyting, he thought that his friends didn’t believe in him and were disappointed in him, other than Samirah. Another reason why he doesn’t communicate his emotions much is because of the trauma of being homeless. When homeless, he had to learn the pecking order and do what he needed to do to survive. When Samirah choked him out, he stayed silent and yielded to her will and demands. On the streets, the way he felt never mattered. The only thing that mattered was the will to survive. He pushes his feelings aside for others and feels guilty when he makes a mistake or overlooks them. Another flaw is his inability to accept change. This is because during his years of being homeless, he never processed his trauma or had time to grieve for his mother. So now that he was finally somewhere safe, he had to process all that had happened to him. He was upset at his father for being absent, despite never dwelling on it, angry at being an einherjar, angry at the world. But slowly but surely, he begins to accept his new life with the help of people around him. Magnus is very intelligent in some ways, noted by his mother, who stated he was smarter than both of his uncles and he could go to Harvard someday. He did very good in school, despite not liking the overwhelming hallways, and he retained his love for reading through his homelessness, reading them in the library and getting them in his hotel room in Valhalla. Unlike most demigods, he lacks a natural combat instinct, but is instead much better at thinking and talking out his problems (such as his negotiations with Ran for Sumarbrander), like most demigods he is often forced into situations where he has to kill first and ask questions later, which he shows great flexibility in tactics and is a good reflexive thinker. His sexuality is never stated, but he does not care for labels or dwell much on it, expressing attraction towards both men and women. He may have a difficulty with interoception, discerning his own feelings or even processing or realizing them. Magnus loves the outdoors, which is why he has an outdoor atrium in Valhalla, and went camping many times with his mother before her death. He notes the outdoors often helps his powers work better and makes him feel more at ease, even helping his health. Magnus is a minimalist and often gets overwhelmed at crowded situations, preferring plain clothes and not being able to sleep if his room wasn’t bare. He suffered panic attacks as a child from presumed asthma, being helped by deep pressure hugs from his mother, though, he grew out of it as he got older. Despite living on the streets and being forced to eat out of dumpster bins to survive, Magnus is also rather health conscious, showing incredible disgust upon learning that dwarves evolved from maggots to the point that he's unable to say it comfortably.

Thermokinesis (limited to heat): Magnus can increase the temperature around him in a certain radius. Harsh Temperature Insensitivity: Magnus has a great deal of resilience to both temperature extremes, since he was able to sleep outdoors in the winter with nothing but a thin blanket without a problem, and was unfazed by Surt's flames. However, he isn't completely immune, since Surt managed to kill him by impaling the demigod with a red-hot sphere of steaming asphalt, causing Magnus' organs to slowly burn away from the molten tar in his gut. While in Niflheim he was able to withstand the extreme cold far longer then his friends.
