Maxik

This dark haired mage wandered a little far from home one day and was found among the park denizens. Maxik is without any real persisting goals or motivations except staying alive and being quirky. And maybe making money. And maybe befriending hungry, powerful characters c.c;

Of the tender age of 24, and standing at an adorable 5'1".
Posessing a rather furnished collection of cantrips and little handy spells, but listing all of those would be quite the undertaking. Having had this information conveyed to him by a superior mage, and vetted by his own research : his mana, aura of magic and so on have a rather honeyed taste, with a slight undernote of chocolate. He has found concerning research to point to this meaning he is a somewhat odd but nutritious kind of mage - but he would heavily dispite both of those.
Maxik was without a more impressive, more formidable variety of magic which might save someone from the park's numerous and occasionally quite feirce appetites - but that's starting to change. Ironically however, his new skills don't seem to have made him, or others, much safer. Still, there's something to be said for hiding in plain sight!
Notable spell types : He has a few knock spells that let him get into locks. Novice level earth, wind, fire and water magic. A bait spell that he uses to make his target 'extremely appetizing' to 'high level monsters' - he will almost always be surprised when this makes them appealing to a person. Light sources. A wide variety of very minor, but long lasting, stackable buffs. And many more.

-Generally speaking, Maxik dissolves into just about whatever kind of demographic, considering that I as a player am particularly partial to multi-prey, NPC heavy feasts of absurdist gluttony. Without wanting to use it as a crutch, I'm likely willing to 'play' just about any particular thing you wish to eat. Not to fixate on that - I know it's a cop-out.
-Probably a novice roleplayer at best, and fully understanding that my character sits in that overabundant classification of boring, human prey, so you can count on me probably not doing too much approaching unless your character has a rather wide ranging, or particularly fitting kind of appetite (In scene, the prey don't have to like, be a bunch of human mages. I can play piles of whatever kinda prey you're hungry for). Whisper me up for and about anything, at anytime, however, even if you just need to diss me. I'm here if you need to talk!




Inventory: An entire 5th edition set of journeyman spellbooks. 4 Mana crystals. A bundle of spare scrolls. 2 Novice health potions. 3 journeyman mana potions. 1 Potion of greater ascendency (He remains too low level to utilize it). A very disheveled and half depleted potion making bundle. Approximately 1730 gold. An unidentified, but valuable rock. A small patch with the emblem of a open palm filling with gold coins. A map of a bandit camp.

Current party dynamics: Traveling loosely alongside 4 novice mages that he promised to teach the finer points of magic (they are tailing him, more accurately). It is worth noting that this is the '2nd' group of mages to be in this position; the first ones fell into a snafu alongside him involving a more powerful, hungry mage...
Infrequently provides trite magical services for a small time but fondly regarded band of mercenaries called 'Port Millswifts Misfits', which possess roughtly 19 members but none of any magical talent.
Prior party dynamics : Was also doing some odd magic consultancy for a group of 10 bandits, led by one Vitti the swift. She, and said bandits are, in a way of speaking, no longer with us. They had the misfortune of capturing a hungry mage that needed Maxik to help extract information from... but he knew how it was going to go, and instead set her loose upon the camp. They are now, in essence, uh... all gone.





(No, I don't own this picture.)


Some ideas! (Feel free to take these of course ^^) : I can play basically the same kind of scene several times, with just slight variations.

-An adventuring party is sent to assist a mighty hero, but in truth they are only actually being dispatched for the hero to make a meal of them!
-A magical mishap leads a to something of a rage spell being cast upon a hero right in the middle of town, everyone's scrambling to snap them out of it before noone is left!
-On a date with Maxik, you can't help but realize that he knows an awful lot about you're past, has this magical runt been stalking you?
-The mage insists that, with his magic, he's as good in bed as any more mundane man! However he's a little hesitant to actually put his money where his mouth is...
-Maxik decides to teach a magical class, but needs someone hearty to challenge his graduating students!
-Maxik wants to roleplay! Can you imagine if, instead of like swords and sorcery, we had to conduct ourselves every day with business suits and commutes?
-A friend from the capital decides to pop into his peaceful, town life, with all the grim 'I devour whomever I please' context that is involved in capital sactioned visits.
-Landslides are being caused by an enormous subterranean beast. I'm here to study it but, you say you came here to eat it!?
-"I've been enchanting armor for years, mam/sir, and I can assure you there is no curse to make people try and attack you, and certainly none to make people want to be eaten."
-"What I hate most about summoning demons is that they never seem to get anything done - 'you know who' just devours them."
-"So the good news is that the only artifact I lost was the anklet of invisiblity. The bad news is more or less who I think has it..."
-"I explicitly told you guys that sex makes me uncomfortable! Why would you recruit me into this party, when all you guys do all the time is fuck!?"
-"No, there's nothing going on in town. Yyyes I know that merchant said they were having an eating competition but... guys, no, c'mon! It's just a small village! I'm begging you!"
-After all doctors in town have given up on you, it's time to turn to Maxik, and his novice side job in potion craft to cure that indigestion.
-"Rule of thumb for surviving a tavern fight in this city - get out of there before a certain somebody shows up."
-"So I've got a new magic I want to try that involves me slowly painting these dark symbols on parts of your naked body... D-don't give me that look, it's legitimate thaumaturgy!"
-"So you're saying you ate all my food, as well as my pack, tent, spellbooks... and despite me being the one that's starving, I need to find you some more food, or else? Or else what?"
-"So you say that if we can get to the other side of these caves, without you having devoured us all, you'll give us one of your treasures? There are like, almost 20 of us..."
-"First tip for starting a life of crime as a novice mage... teleportation scrolls!"
-"Oh! H-hi, uh... we thought you were just going to rough it out there, when you didn't come back in time. You just missed dinner..."
-"Nothing fuels magic like the energy from souls, and you're, clearly, pretty rich in that regard! So if you'll let me tap into that for a few incantations I've always wanted to cast, I'll promise not to tell the guards what you did to that poor inkeeper, and his... family."
-"Uh, no, I try to steer clear of my home town. Ever since that hero made a base of it, they have these monthly festivals where they sacrifice like, a dozen people to them, and then an even bigger one in the midsummer - really messed u-... Wait a minute, what did you say your name was?"
-Quest giver Maxik will probably have you hunting reagants or slaying pests, if not recovering old books!
-While unassuming to most, you do not want Maxik to find out your True Name...
-While Maxik isn't quite a 'summoner', like an artist might now how to paint without being a painter, occasionally he has a few menacing critters he's known to call upon. This is usually something he avoids, as he's not all that great at 'stopping' them!
-The worst thing they could do was put a bounty on his head - Maxik is pretty easy to bump off if he doesn't know you're coming, but if he's wise to his fate, you're going to have to go through the chase scene.
-A disaster for any budding teleportation artist, he may have made one of his relay totems something innocent yet edible, banking on it being in a location so remote that noone would ever mess with it. When a hungry adventurer makes a snack of a conspicuous bran muffin, layed ominously out in a clearing, the chain is broken, and the new target? That very gut.
-"So essentially, I'll use your belly as the couldron... I'm going to need to get the reagents in, and then after they're just semi digested, I'll swig some of it out into this flask; do NOT swallow me. Upshot of this is I can just use the whole, live critters, instead of having to harvest parts!"


While overdue for a larger overhaul of one kind or another on my profile, I did want to carve out a little space for now to shout out LadyValentine in particular as a player. While it's just my opinion of course, she's someone I always enjoy roleplaying with, and lays claim to most of my favorite scenes! If she looks like you might allign in interest, I can't reccomend her highly enough!
