Personal history

Megalamanix was born in Naish Luu to noble Fairy parents, Mavheran's shipment of Liquid Magic spilled in Naish Luu and began mutating the flora, fauna, and natives who live here. His parents, who are both magically inclined (possible Wizards, Druids, or even Sorcerers), married while they were studying how the spilled magic was effect their world and even themselves. Their horror only grew as they slowly began to become mutated by this spill along with other members of their community, who because the Fea as the changed dramatically because of their exposure to magic.
When his parents discovered they were expecting a child, they were both afraid and hopeful. Afraid that their child would also be affected by the magic spill, but also hopeful that their child would be born a Fairy like they used to be. Unfortunately, their fears were only confirmed when Meglamanix was born even more mutated by the magic now twisting Naish Luu.
Because of this, Meglamanix was almost studied growing up, including both investigating his physical changes due to magic and his own magical abilities, in order to see if other children would be born like him. Thus, he began studying magic as well. The first spell he ever learned, gifted to him as a spell scroll from his mother, was Find Familiar, which manifested itself as a Mug Teacup Wyvern that he named Felicia Dear.
As he grew into an adult, Meglamanix began to tire of his parents pity towards him and efforts to "fix" his mutations. Thus he began to change the course of his magic education. Thus he began to change the course of his magic education to the study of Chronurgy to see if he could possibly go back and change the course of history that led to the mutation of Naish Luu and his people.
Eventually, Manix determined that he had to leave Naish Luu. Gathering only what he would need for research, he went through the agonizing journey of leaving the magically-bound land, escaping with no physical wounds but plenty of psychic damage. After wandering and hitching rides, he finally reaches his first major city and begins expanding his research. He gains some attention from being a flashy, exotic Fae and even more so for his inane project. While no one actually believes it can be done, Manix finds it a very easy talking point at fancy parties with great intellectuals. Thus, he gains some fame and sponsorship from the rich nobles he entertains with his ideas.
Eventually, Manix's research began to take the backburner as he gained more influence through his social circles than his research.
