"Oh Scandinavia isn't that special, just think snow, and bears and that's just about it." Magni smiled, he truly loved his home, but to him isn't wasn't remarkable anymore, he had already seen all of the sights to see, and they lose their luster after forty years. "Maybe not ancient but I am in my forties. Which is by no means young, unlike you it seems." Magni was fairly blunt about it he knew he was getting old, and the person in front of him couldn't even be thirty yet. "Intimidating? I thought I looked like a teddy bear." Magni laughed flexing his arms, which were incredibly muscular and toned. 

"I chose tank to keep my son safe mostly, but i don't think he really needed that, he did fine on his own, definitely too fast for an old man like me to keep up." Magni smiled warmly, the loss of his son may have hurt still to this day, but he was still proud of him, he had fought bravely to protect those he had learned to care about, and nothing could be more honorable than a warrior dying in battle. "Don't apologize for passion lad, passion is what drives the world forward ." Magni reassured the man before him."

"Well you know how it is, can't teach an old dog a new trick, and I am definitely an old dog." Magni joked with his new companion stepping outside of the tavern into the crisp morning air, it was shaping up to be a very nice day, perfect for going out like they were planning. "I was thinking tank myself, to be honest. I am not much good at the intricate swordplay." Magni explained, he knew that his talents lied mainly with his bullish stubbornness and his ability to take a beating, something that aligned perfectly with being a tank.

"Oh don't worry about it lad, you aren't prying at all." Magni didn't mind talking about the real world, everything that had made that world special to him was long gone, he only wanted to beat the game so badly now to avenge his son, and to stop others from meeting the same fate. "I was born, and lived, in Scandinavia." Magni wasn't sure whether Spencer wanted to know more or whether he was just curious about where he was from, so he opted to wait for him to ask more questions while they made their way into the plains outside of town. 

"And I would be glad to have you join me, Spencer." Magni smiled, the smile staying put as he continued talking, it seemed as though Magni smiled a lot naturally and that his brooding earlier was very unnatural for himself. "well if there is no combat I guess there won't be any issue at all." Magni was slightly relieved, he hadn't yet gotten into a fight in the game, and he was somewhat nervous about what was in store, though his nerves didn't stop his determined attitude. "I wish I could say i am anything like my son was, but he was a true master with a blade, I fear I cannot live up to that image." Magni thought about his son's fighting, the way he danced around his enimies with his rapier, he hadn't seen anything quite like it, and sadly he never would again. "Heading out sounds nice, The present is always the best time time to act." With that Magni walked to the door ducking to fit underneath the doorway.

"I don't know about a train, might have some trouble with that. A semi truck though no problem." Magni smiled a very large grin appearing on his face, one that seemed like it found its way onto his face naturally and often. Magni wasn't young by any means and the years weren't all that kind. he had lines that one could tell were caused from smiling and laughing a great deal in life. "I would love some company, especially from a strong young lad like yourself." He graciously accepted the help because he knew that his stature wasn't what mattered in the game, and that this man with his high level would be a much better combatant than he. "I honestly don't really know what I am doing." Magni told his new companion, Spencer. "My son was always the one who would head outside the village exploring, I only went with him a few times."  Magni didn't at all mind admitting his shortcomings that was, after all, a part of being human.

"As you can see I am new to this whole, questing thing." Magni answered gesturing to his low level equipment and the fact that he was only level one. "So I'm heading out to do the first few steps, figured it was time I stopped sitting at home making pastries and time to start actually doing something." Magni continued a determined look growing on his face. He was going to become strong enough to avenge his son and stop this madness of a game.  The patter of webbed feet on a wooden floor interrupted his thoughts as a penguin came waddling up seemingly to say hello.

"Noot? What an adorable little bird." Magni reached forward to pet the penguin looking at Spencer to make sure that that was okay before ruffling its small head with his bearlike palm.  "Reminds me of my home, didn't have any penguins there, but it was icy so this little guy would probably like it just fine." His icelandic accent coming in thicker the more he talked, it was a struggle to talk clearly and he really only did it when he met knew people.

Magni pulled the blonde-brunette up from the floor, glad to hear that he was completely fine, Magni knew that he was a large man and getting run over by him couldn't be the most pleasant thing in the world. "I think you  took most of the force of that tackle."  Magni laughed heartily, maybe a bit too much, but a laugh is always good on a hard day. "Names Magni, it is good to meet you Spencer." he said extending his hand once again, but this time for a shake rather than picking him up off of the floor.

"Where are you heading off to?" Magni asked looking the lean man up and down. Not too much muscle on him, but you can tell he works out Magni noted along with the very charming smile on his face. Magni had already distracted himself from why he was here at this tavern, which was something that he was glad for.

Magni sat at a table in a tavern on the first floor, around him people were celebrating and laughing, but today wasn't a day of joy for Magni today was a day of mourning. Two years ago to this day He held his son in his arms as the life faded out of him and he disappeared from SAO forever. Reaching for his pint Magni looked around the room again, normally he would be the loudest man amongst all of the patrons. With a sigh he took his mug and drained it all in one go, that was one thing that would be weird to him about SAO, the taste, he could never manage to get anything to taste quite like what it did in the real world, he would have to practice more he thought.

Grief may have been all that was on his mind, but his eyes wouldn't betray that, his golden eyes were full of fire and intent. Today Magni had decided that this game was over, enough was enough and he was going to beat this game himself if he had to. Magni made his way to the door, lost in thought, thinking about the past and the future all at once. His reverie was interrupted though when he ran into a tall slender man, though not quite as tall as himself, knocking him to the floor. "Are you okay?" He asked extending his hand towards the man on the floor "I hope I didn't hurt you." Magni's thick Icelandic accent wasn't easy to understand and so he talked slowly being careful to make every word clear.

History & Personality

Magni Hagen, a man born in the cold climate of Scandinavia, lived a very average life, he was a large man, built with thick muscles and a height to match. Magni, despite his very intimidating demeanor had always been a very kind and caring person. magni's childhood was nothing of note, he had two loving parents and a lot of friends, it was only when he was twenty when his life seemed to pick up and go somewhere interesting. Magni was going to school to become a pastry chef when he met the most amazing girl he had ever seen, one who he would soon fall in love with and marry after they got through college. The twos love never died out and by the time they were 28 they had their first and only kid, sadly Magni's wife had died due to complications during the birth of the child. Magni took to raising his new child, Erik, like a duck took to water, he worked hard to provide the child with everything he could to make him happy. Besides the death of his wife and lover Magni still led an ordinary life trying his best to find interests that he and his kid could share. When SAO came out Magni knew that it would be the perfect thing to bring him and Erik closer together. So together he and his son dove into the new virtual reality game. But the joy of that was not to last when he realized how deadly a trap they were in, and it would get even worse when weeks later Magni held his sting son in his arms as he turned to blue particles. It has been almost two years since then and Magni has decided that it is finally time to beat this game, and he was willing to do anything to do it.

Virtues:

strong: above anything else Magni is strong, both of mind and body. Having a very stubborn attitude Magni doesn't let much phase him. With a sturdy build his body follows his mind in the same fashion, not letting anything through .

Tough: Even through heavy adversity Magni can and will  brave anything. Even when there is nothing left Magni keeps on pushing until he wins. No matter how much knocks him down he will always pick himself back up.

Caring: despite his strong outward impression inside Magni is a fairly soft person. Magni cares about the people around him and will protect anyone he can. This has led Magni to develop a sensitive side, one that enjoys naps by a warm fire.           

Flaws:
Stubborn: Magni is a very stubborn individual. Even if his decision might hurt him will stick to it no matter what. No one has yet been able to change this about him, no matter how hard they try.

Rowdy: despite his caring nature, Magni can be quite loud. He likes singing and drinking at pubs loud enough that everyone in town can hear him. He is also quick to laugh and when he does it is loud and hearty.

Stupid: Magni follows suit with the stereotype of big strong men not having much brain. He isn't one for numbers or strategy, preferring to just tank damage and beat things, even when a better solution could be found. This leads to him taking a lot of unnecessary risks both in the battlefield and off.
