Magnus Crimson is a second-year student at Atlas Academy in the kingdom of the same name. He is a member of Team SSMR and normally seen as the weakest fighter. His weapon of choice is two duel pistols called Erik and Lehnsherr.

Early Years
Magnus was born in the Kingdom of Atlas during the winter months of the year. Magnus soon discovered his semblance and unlocked his aura during his youth. He then attended Atlas' local combat school and was able to graduate and move onward to Atlas Academy.

Atlas Academy
When Magnus entered Atlas Academy he became a member of Team SSMR and befriended Ian Stonewall, Solomon Noir and Regen Wilhelm. The four rose to become some of the best warriors within the school itself and soon began to go missions. One mission lead the four to a deeper region of Solutes to investigate the abandoned village of Ivory.

Mission to Ivory
While the team arrived at the drop point, they began to move through the icy tundra surrounding them and bordering the village. As the team moved through the area, they were greeted by an already stationed Atlas Specialist, Elsa Inverno. The five then entered the village only to find it abandoned and almost entirely destroyed. While Solomon and Regen continued deeper into the town, Magnus took to a high rise in order to get a feel for the terrain while Elsa debriefed Stonewall.

Magnus surveyed a majority of the town and was able to keep a watchful eye on Solomon and Regen until they made it beyond his reach. Magnus then moved through the rooftops and counted to look over the town but found no new living people within the town itself.

After receiving a call from Solomon, the rest of the group rushed over and saw a series of dead bodies scattered along the ground with claw marks and stab wounds left and right. Though SSMR initially thought of Grimm, Elsa stated it was bandits and nomads, using the bandits attack in order to steel food and supplies. The team pressed onward and located a massive cliff overlooking a small valley. While Magnus and Stonewall were overlooking the area, they noticed several groups of people and were told they were nomads by Elsa.

As they watched, a group of bandits emerged and attacked the nomads, killing them all and taking their supplies. Elsa ordered an attack and so Stonewall took action. While he and Magnus would cut the bandits off, Solomon and Regen were to drive them towards Stonewall and Magnus. The four put the plan into motion and Elsa assisted both parts of the plan. As the bandits entered a retreat, Stonewall and Magnus attacked the retreating foes and cut them off. A few then scattered into the wilderness, leaving only a few others to be arrested. Stonewall then interrogated one of the prisoners along with Elsa who reviled a much larger camp further north. Elsa then ordered the camp to be destroyed.

Battle of Frost Bane
The five then came across the town of Frost Bane, a bandit city and a nomad trading center for those who lived outside the kingdom and attacked bordering cities such as Ivory. While Elsa had a plan, she let Stonewall take command of the situation. Stonewall order Regen to infiltrate the city as a spy for a few hours and survey the area. After Regen returned from 3 hours of a scouting mission, Stonewall was given the intel and that there were prisoners. Stonewall then had Solomon and Magnus lead a distraction to lead the outside guards away from the permitter.

While Solomon and Magnus lead the distraction, Stonewall and Regen infiltrated the city and began freeing the prisoners and lead them outside the walls. Heavy cannons were fired at the two huntsmen in training which Solomon responded with his own fire and Magnus joined him. Eventually, Solomon and Magnus were called back to the town by Stonewall. The two rushed back to the city and were met by Stonewall, Elsa and Regen with an arrested bandit leader.

A week after the team returned, they received word from General Ironwood himself that they were now officially apart of Inverno's specialist units by her recommendation, giving Magnus the title of Private.

Vytal Festival Tournament
During their second-year at Atlas, the team participated in the 40th Annual Vytal Festival Tournament hosted by Beacon Academy in Vale. The team was the second match of the whole tournament and were matched against Team WIOW of Haven Academy in Mistral.

As the match began, tonewall had Regen and Solomon fire off a few rounds in order to cause confusion and it worked almost flawlessly if it wasn't for the opposing team's Faunus. While Solomon would deal with the Faunus, Stonewall had Magnus and Regen take on Willow Orchid while he dealt with their leader, Widow Tabebuia. Magnus and Regen opened fire on the girl and counted to dance around her counting firing at her. Willow then charged at Regen and the two entered a heated standstill with Magnus attempting to backhand her, which he did successfully. However, Willow then used her semblance of growing spikes in her skin and attacked Magnus. While Magnus was pushed back with repeated sword swings and punches with her thorns.

Magnus was then saved by Regen who entered another duel with Willow. Magnus then decided to attack Olive Pine and get her off Solomon and Stonewall's backs. Magnus opened fire with Olive responding by using her semblance to through Magnus out of the battlefield, effectively ending his fight with the team.

Battle of Beacon
As the Battle of Beacon officially began, Magnus and his team decided to defend Beacon from harm along with other Atlas soldiers. During the fight, Stonewall threw his sword at an Ursa, not realizing he saved May Fumi and Ember Ignis. Solomon then asked if they were alright and the six then began to defend a safe zone within Beacon's walls. Stonewall then had himself, Regen and Magnus go to the lower sea docks and clear a path for evacuation.

While the three were at the lower docks, they were joined by Team WIOW and the seven completely cleared the docks and guided students and civilians to safety. WIOW then left with the ships to protect Vale, leaving the three to again defend the docks. The three then joined the final ship and left for Vale, and were engaged by a few griffins along the waterway. When they reached the city they joined WIOW and assisted local huntsmen forces to protect a large area of the city.

They were then joined by Elsa and Solomon in defending the city. The team then were ordered back to Atlas after a giant white flash over the city and Beacon.

Post-Fall of Beacon
Following the Fall of Beacon, Stonewall and the rest of Team SSMR returned to Atlas and continued to train themselves to become better and later continued to run missions for Inverno and Ironwood. The team was last seen somewhere on Sanus, in between the kingdoms of Vale and Vacuo.

Psych-Interviews
"Alright, I got this one. So don't you worry about me ok guys."

Personality
Magnus is described as a follower and somewhat a naive child. He clearly follows Solomon in his bullying of Faunus and other classmates and doesn't particularly care of what others think of him, rather he just follows due to the fact he sees his team was mentors. Magnus particularly looks up to Stonewall as he is his leader, and views him as a source of what he should do in life.

Magnus is also seen as a school bully and usually makes fun of Faunus and others Solomon picks on. Magnus seems to also have some level of enjoyment when he does make fun as whenever it is a Faunus with ears he would replicate those ears with his hands. He also uses his semblance to also bully others mainly using some of their armor or weapons against them.

Like the other members of Team SSMR, Magnus is extremely loyal to his allies and regularly followers orders to the latter. He likes to protect those he deems close or worthy of his protection of friendship. However, he is also fully able to misjudging character such as Regen and Solomon.

He is also able to get annoyed fast as he hates Stonewall for watching over him like a little child almost all the time. He is also annoyed at himself when he is eliminated from the team's match against Team WIOW.

Physical Appearance
Magnus is a short teenage boy with deep red and orange hair mixed with a pair of brown eyes. He has a tanned complexion and pair of black lensed goggles mixed with red and white paint. He wears a turtle neck like collar style of padding, smilier to football gear, stretching from is neck to his mid-chest. He wears orange, white and black chest armor stopping at his mid-chest. He has a black jumpsuit on which stretches from his upper body to his ankles.

On his stomach he has a single piece of armor supporting his emblem. He wears a white and orange belt around his waist supported with ammo packs. He wears orange thigh armor and orange shoulder armor. He has no armor along his arms, but he does wear two orange and red bands with elbow armor beneath them. He has orange and white gloves with a tactical pad on his right wrist.

His lower leg armor consist of his upper thigh armor and his lower knee armor was well. Unlike his teammates, Magnus does not wear boots, rather just simple armored dress shoes with his color scheme.

Weapon
Magnus' weapons of choice are two pistols called Erik and Lensherr. Magnus shows impressive marksmanship normally resulting in his role as the team's supporter and sniper, despite having his pistols. His pistols are equipped with scoops he uses for long distance targets. Magnus also uses his pistols as pistol-whips for close range combat, however, he is not as adept with the style. Magnus uses regular bullets with his pistols and surprisingly lacks any form of dust, despite how effective it is in combat.

Fighting Style
Magnus' fighting style appears to be more long ranged combat than anything else. He rarely actually gets up close and personal with his opponents, choosing to pick off targets one by one from a far than in the heat of a fight. Magnus is also seen as one of most valuable assets to SSMR with his semblance, easily picking up armored foes and throwing them around like rag dolls and other pieces of metal to keep his foes at bay.

Semblance
Magnus' semblance is polarity, giving him control of magnetism and thus allowing him to do the true heavy lifting of the team. His semblance is strong enough for him to lift an Atlesian Paladin and other pieces of metal. However, as he was doing so, he clearly was struggling, meaning either his semblance is not as strong or he has yet to fully master it. He is able to left smaller things such as swords, weapons and other amor pieces and wield them around the battlefield.
