HISTORY

(from Chronica Terra Matris)

Many thousands of years ago, a group of humanoid aliens made Earth their new home. They were among the few who had survived the destruction of their home world. These magically-proficient beings learned, with time, to understand the natural world of Earth. Even more than that, they became a piece of the Earth itself: forces of nature, helping to maintain environmental balance on the planet. Never again should the arrogance an selfishness of the inhabitants destroy their world, as had happened on the old planet...

They called themselves "the People of Danu", after their origin, the planet Danu. To humans they became known mainly by the term "elves".

Over the course of the millennia, it repeatedly happened that the elven people intermingled and intermarried with humans. In this manner the heritage of Danu was preserved in the physical world, while the elves themselves withdrew more and more into the formlessness or the "Otherworld".
For a long time the Earth endured without its protectors. No one prevented the humans, in their greed, from destroying the balance or nature. But then fate reunited the scattered genes of the protectors and again provided the blue planet with a guiding power: a new "Great Mother" was born.

PERSONAL HISTORY

Magic's childhood and youth seemed that of a completely normal human, which she thought she was. The fact that she often had problems understanding the human way of thinking, was disregarded by herself and others. And incidents in which she knew in advance what would happen or what someone would say, she dismissed as mere coincidence.

Only during adolescence did Magic's true nature begin to surface. More and more she felt she was a non-human trapped in a human body. This feeling was a drastic contrast to that which she had been taught throughout her life. The dichotomy between that, which she was, and that which she had always believed, disastrously affected her self-image. It reached a crisis point - Magic suffered an emotional breakdown.

She lost her belief in everything - in herself, in her feelings, in her knowledge, in others. No longer knowing whom or what she could still trust, she was in danger of being pulled under into a mire of fear and hopelessness.

But there was one power that held onto her desperately, that would not allow her to give herself up. It was a soul that was bound inseparably to her - her acknowledged life's companion. He taught her not to give up - to believe in her own strength and to fight. And - although the battle was long and hard-fought - with surprising tenacity the young woman freed herself from the mire.

Neither she nor her companion yet knew anything about Magic's destiny, her special powers. But now she was a secure individual, ready to meet her future. In the several years that followed, it was she who instructed her companion in her reacquired strength: understanding, tolerance and patience.

The two were a pair, even though Magic and her mate had never physically met during all this time. His body had lain deactivated for four million years at the heart of a volcano. It was Megatron, the Decepticon Leader.

Their first meeting after the reawakening of the Transformers took place in all secrecy. They doubted that the Decepticons would accept a weak organic life-form into their ranks.

However, after Magic played an important part in the rescue of the Transformers captured by Dr. Benedict Bishoph (Bishoph with "ph"), they accepted her much faster than expected. During this incident, Magic's paranormal abilities surfaced clearly for the first time.

A short time afterwards, Magic followed a vision into the "Otherworld", a type of spirit realm which exists parallel to the physical world. Their she encountered her ancestors, who informed her of her duty: to realign the natural balance of the Earth, and to defend it against disruptions such as human arrogance - for this threatened to set back the course of evolution by millions of years. Magic was, to this effect, the active extension of the planet, and tied directly to it. Stored in her subconscious was the total knowledge about the Earthly environment and its interactions.

After her return from the "Otherworld", Magic was brought into contact with the Matrix and an exchange of data took place. Now she also held the additional knowledge about life on Cybertron. With the help of this knowledge, she was later able to create robotic life-forms, for example Pentacle, a living car, or the female Transformer Crazy Sue.

PROFILE

Magic is composure itself when manic turmoil breaks out. Naturally she also has moments of excitement or nervousness, but even then she seems to radiate an inner serenity.

She mediates during arguments and cools the heat of combat. For this reason the recommendation exists among the Decepticons, to talk to "Mom" first if you've messed up; the chance of surviving a confrontation with Megatron will be greatly enhanced.

Magic takes time to listen to problems, private and general, and helps seek solutions. She seems to have a near-endless supply of patience, and she tolerates a great deal - often too much, according to Megatron. She should defend herself more often, rather than just tolerating everything. However she lacks the needed ambition to insist upon her own rights.

However if her family or friends are in danger, the elf-descendant can turn into a ferocious beast. She defends her own ruthlessly and without consideration for her own safety.

One more side of her nature should be mentioned: the good pal and accomplice for all crazy schemes. She tends sometimes toward somewhat "unusual" behavior (a trait that was probably passed on a bit too strongly in the creation of Crazy Sue), including breaking into unexpected song or silly quotes.

As the "Great Mother", she acts for the good of the planet - giving, preserving, or taking life as need for the Earth. She and the Guardian Angels* step in where humans have upset the balance of nature.

Magic's seeming impassivity in the face of destruction and death, and her ability to unleash these herself, evoked horror in the Autobots and generated some intense arguments. Prime's philosophy of preserving life by preventing death, countered the elven knowledge that life can only exist in a delicate balance of birth and death. Despite these differences, Magic has a good to friendly relationship towards most Autobots. For this reason she functions as a mediator between the two groups of Transformers. However she cares little for the majority of humanity, which she will freely admit. Nevertheless she also counts a few humans among her friends - mostly the so-called "crazies" who don't care much for humanity themselves.

Among the Decepticons on Earth, Megatron's companion is very popular. Although she makes no demands to rank within the hierarchy, she is considered the unofficial "Number Two". (If you believe Rumble's view, she is actually even the "Number One", that is "the boss' boss. But that is just his opinion...)

Other than the Decepticon Leader, two other Decepticons play important roles in Magic's life: Ravage, the loyal protector who almost never leaves her side - and Starscream, who, much to Megatron's surprise, loves her like a sister.

ABILITIES

Magic usually appears in her elven form or a Transformer equivalent. She has the ability, however, to change into any desired organic or robotic life-form, though she does have certain preferences.

Other than shape shifting, her paranormal abilities cover practically the entire spectrum of magic. Communicating by telepathy is as easy for her as a normal conversation. She masters the art of levitation, as well as the ability to create items out of thin air. For this reason she has a high firepower, even though there are no physical weapons present. But Magic's true power lies in her ties to the Earth - she is capable of controlling the elements, the weather, and life itself. These immense energies are provided to her directly by the planet. (Since her contact with the Matrix, the same is true for her on Cybertron.)

Due to her elven heritage, Magic's senses of smell, hearing, and sight are considerably better than those of humans. She hears not only very soft sounds, but can also hear infra- and ultrasound frequencies. She can still see in almost total darkness. In addition she has a strongly developed "sixth sense" and the ability to get a "feel" for her surroundings.

Like her ancestors, she has the ability to move practically soundlessly and to vanish without trace. This is still true when she has taken on her Transformer form. Her unicorn mode is designed for travel over rough terrain such as forests or mountains. Here she moves quickly and surely, and is nearly uncatchable, reaching a speed of up to 60 mph. On level surfaces, she reaches a top speed of 125 mph. She can leap up to 50 feet high and a distance of 70 feet. The energy-enhanced horn of this mode can penetrate the hardest material.

Thanks to her sharp eyes and steady hand, Magic is a born sharpshooter - so she is familiar with the us of various hand weapons. Her preferred weapons, however, are the longbow and sword, both of which she has expertly mastered.

But the most personalized specialty of the elf-descendant is her ability to alleviate unpleasantries, promote peace, and win friends.

WEAKNESSES

Magic's finely-tuned hearing reacts painfully toward very loud sounds and certain ultrasound frequencies. She's one of those people who would never enter a disco without earplugs.

Her sensitive eyes are easily blinded. In bright daylight and without protection she is practically blind, quickly gets a headache, and must then rely on her other senses. Her eyes also react painfully toward a particular shade of red (neon-red).

The use of increasing amounts of energy can strain her, physically and mentally, and extreme paranormal actions will leave her exhausted and in need of rest. For this reason she seldom uses her power to their fullest extend. Higher than 1x106 m above sea level, she no longer receives any Earth-energy and is then limited to her own stored energy supply. Overextending herself magically in this situation could lead to a total physical collapse.

Her ties to the planet Earth also make her somewhat dependent on the Earth's condition. Magic can feel the destruction of the environment, which often causes her to feel fatigued and tired without apparent reason.

Because she has a hard time turning down a friend's request, she often ends up with more work than she can easily manage. Although she does manage nevertheless, she can be affected by the strain.

*Guardian Angels (G.A.s for short) are the members of O.M.E.G.A. (Order of Mother Earth's Guardian Angels), a society founded by Magic. The group consists of various life-forms, and represents an expanded protective force for the planet.

The O.M.E.G.A. bases are cities of stone within the heart of mountains of larger hills. Following an old tradition, these are called "Síd" or "Middle Kingdoms".
