PERSONALITY

Angus is a tall, middle aged man, of slim, athletic physique (akin to that of a swimmer or marathon runner.) Despite the 'fit' build, Angus gives off a vibe of a man stricken with an illness, and perhaps even undernourished, a trait that he owes mostly to his unhealthy pallor and a crisscross of scars gained from numerous battles as well as surgical removal of body-wide net of tattoos that used to cover his neck, arms and torso. And due to an old injury, his confident stride is often time broken up by a limp in his right leg.

A closer inspection only furthers the illusion of ill health haunting the Mad Rune Mage. A mess of spiky, barely contained fiery, ginger hair stands in stark contrast to the pallor and gauntness of his face. Deep set eyes, one of which is missing (the empty socket covered with a simple leather eyepatch,) are always framed by dark wrinkles, adding sleep deprivation to a list of suspected ailments troubling the wizard. His nose and lips each possess thin scars, going across the bridge and framing the left corner of his mouth, respectively. Formerly sporting a thick, fiery beard, Angus' sharp jaw and chin are left clean shaven, only accentuating the triangular shape of his face.

And yet, all the health-worries seem to dissipate as soon as the Scottish wizard speaks. His voice, a gruff, booming baritone, gives a good idea about Angus' long-lasting smoking and drinking habits, while somehow managing to give the man an air of authority, whenever it is necessary.

Personality

Snarky, sarcastic and straight-forward, Angus has more than enough to have earned himself the moniker of 'Grumpy Wizard.'

Despite that initial impression, it quickly becomes obvious that the complaining and the brusqueness are nothing more than an act, a decades-old con, which Angus has meticulously worked on pulling on people around. Because it is only when one sees through the solitary, gruff façade that can they see who the Mad Rune Mage really is. And for the most part, the real Angus is a deeply introspective, coldly calculating man, his affinity for stone-cold logic so at odds with his perceived 'shoot-first-ask-questions-later' attitude.

Another important aspect of his personality is Angus' deep seated paranoia, that stems from both his nigh-psychotic sociopathic traits as well as a form of hyper-awareness the wizard was born with. Which means that Angus is slow to put trust in people, as well as chronically difficult to deceive (or even sneak upon.)

When in the company of strangers, Angus can come off as arrogant, ready to spout off his own ideas at moment's notice, sometimes even criticize those he believes to be in the wrong. And given Mad Rune's love for sowing the seeds of discord (mostly harmless and for the sake of his amusement.) he will often confront people who Angus sees as easy to 'get a rise out of.'

TV Tropes

General

  • The Atoner - At the core of his characterization, Angus is former supervillain on a quest of redemption.
  • Good is not Nice - Despite his whole-hearted involvement in fighting the 'good fight,' Angus is not a very nice person.
  • Destructive Saviour - Going in line with his personality, but decidedly being a part of his overall characterization. While Angus excels at being subtle, he usually prefers to deal with his problems in the loudest, most obnoxious way that comes to mind.
  • Semi-Divine - Due to the circumstances of his birth, Angus is part-Frost Giant.


Personality

  • Recovered Addict - And -how-. Angus still battles with above-average alcohol and nicotine consumption.
  • Deadpan Snarker - Snarky, sarcastic and cynical are the only three words you really need to know to get the idea of how Angus is in his conversation with fellow superheroes. The more 'squeaky-clean' the hero, the more snark gets fired their way.
  • Knight in Sour Armor - At the start of his quest for redemption, Angus was far more idealistic than he is now. He's changed to the point where it's sometimes difficult to tell just how much 'Knight' remains under the armor.
  • Badass Bookworm - If he's not kicking ass, Angus reads books, both scientific journals and arcane grimoirs.
  • Violent Glaswegian - Subverted, Angus plays into the hotheaded Scotsman stereotype to obscure his cold, calculating mind.

Appearance

  • Einstein Hair - Due to his icy powers, and negliegence, his ginger hair is a spiky, chaotic hell.
  • Lean and Mean - Subverted, Angus used to be a wiry supervillain... Now he's a wiry hero!
  • Hunk - Has been called that on occasion by his female friends. He doesn't see it at all.
