Description

Magu is the only form of Vaya lord to have been descended from a living mortal, thus granting him very human-like characteristics that are still known today. He was often depicted as wearing tribal-like clothing with an adornment of plant life growing out of his clothes and swirling around him in a benevolent appearing manner. This was a reminiscent appearance from when he was a shaman underneath Aisha herself, often causing the opposing Vaya Lord to be uncomfortable when seeing him. He often came draped in a cloak of leaves and plant-life, the underside of which leaked out shadows twirling around the lower half of his form. He was often known to wrap his cloak around his torso in a manner one would to protect from the cold, causing his more bright and colorful appearance to be draped in shadows and darken into a more malevolent appearance, with the plant-life decaying and becoming withered. When he wrapped his cloak around himself like this, his normally sharp features would sink in and his skin became paler like a ghost.

His eyes were depicted as being twisted and scheming, yet in color they were a soothing forest green. Magu’s hair was depicted almost universally as being a lighter color due to exposure of the sun, often shifting between light browns to blondes. His skin was tanned and is reminiscent of someone who used to spend their days outside surrounded by nature. Magu will almost always make himself look so similar to an Aisha shaman, mostly in order to attempt to deceive otherworldly entities or people he meets into thinking that he is something else. He would often carry around a wooden staff that is adorned with unorderly amounts of shaman-like runes and plant life that will change from living to dead depending on his mood. The top-end of his staff was dark and obscured in shadow, appearing almost withered. It’s believed that those who come in contact with Magu’s staff would immediately go mad and lose all sense of self.

Origin

Magu is a strange case in terms of Vaya Lords, as he himself was not born into the Vaya, but rather created to be one as he filled a spot the others did not. He was a normal shaman of Aisha in the beginning, attuning himself with the elements. In the early tribal forms of life he was good friends with the chief, well-known and regarded for his abilities and seen in a high light. Magu himself however wanted more, he always craved power, though he must be subtle in order to make it seem virtuous and benevolent. Though when a neighboring tribe stormed and conquered his own, he saw this as an opportunity. Working slyly behind everyone's backs, he sought to liberate his tribe from this oppression. To him, he was doing good for his people even if this may not be how all of them perceived it.

Magu was able to free his people from the oppression with his sharp intellect by manipulating the other tribe’s dictator, however this was eventually found out and he was executed for seemingly taking control of his free will. Upon Magu’s death, he was brought up to the other Vaya, and with his cunning and deceptive wit he managed to trick the other Vaya into allowing him to become one of them. He was deemed worthy enough to become a Vaya, as he in specific offered something that the other Vaya did not. He is not inherently “evil”, but rather does things and encourages his shaman to do things that are necessary.

Magu's Doctrine

• Take the path that will bring you the highest, and even at the peak, do not stop.

Plane of Origin

Loquiti

Loquiti is a realm made purely out of the faults of man-kind and everything chaotic in the world. Every bad trait a man or woman could have is manifested into physical forms in this place. The visual plane of Loquiti is unknown, as it changes to everyone who enters it yet it is often described as some form of party. This realm is never consistent, in fact it thrives off of inconsistency and radical changes being forced into it every single moment it exists.
