While it was late and we were sleep deprived my friend and I were talking about a TMA cowboy AU, and that turned into a conversation about “Good thing TMA didn’t take place in a cowboy AU because Jon would be challenged to a duel every five minutes,” and that somehow turned into this post which is: Magnus Archive characters, but I rank them from least to most likely to agree to a duel.

Human Helen Richardson - Would not agree to a duel and would be horrified by the suggestion.

The Real Elias Bouchard - He is very nervous.

Georgie Barker - She is normal.

Oliver Banks - He is also shockingly normal considering he’s an immortal with prophetic dreams.

Agnes - My character analysis of Agnes: She does not have the vibes of someone who would like a duel.

Jonathan Sims - He would not agree to a duel, but many people pay to duel him.

Human Michael Shelley - Would refuse in almost every single circumstance because he is normal, but MIGHT be willing to do it if it were to protect Gertrude. MIGHT.

Basira Hussain - She’s a common sense queen but honestly I don’t think anyone affected by The Hunt would be 100% unwilling to duel. Basira’s like 98% unwilling.

Martin Blackwood - It’s not even that he’s against dueling, he just think that’s a stupid way to solve your problems.

Melanie King - Would aggressively someone out for suggesting something as stupid as a duel.

Jane Prentiss - Would not duel unless it was with bugs like Pokémon.

Distortion Helen - Would play with the entertainment value of the idea, but wouldn’t do it.

Jude Perry - Would agree to a duel if she thought it was what would ruin someone’s life the most, but she prefers fire.

Tim Stoker - Would agree to a duel as a joke, then have to backpedal.

Sasha James - I was going to say she wouldn’t duel, but she meets Michael in an cemetery because he implies that Jon is in danger, so there are probably specific circumstances where she would agree to a duel.

Michael Crew - My character analysis of Mike: He does have the vibes of someone who would agree to a duel.

Jonah Magnus -Terrified of death so wouldn’t duel, but would agree to it and not show up.

Anabelle Cane - Would quickly agree if she thought it was what someone needed to hear to be manipulated, but wouldn’t actually go through with it.

Adelard Dekker - Would quickly agree to a duel if it were the only way to save people.

Gerard Keay - Would agree if it had something to do with work and defeating a monster or saving someone.

Distortion Michael - Would play with the entertainment value of the idea, and would agree for fun or hatred depending on the person asking.

Peter Lucas - Would agree on a bet.

Jared Hopworth - Would agree and then punch the person asking because he doesn’t actually understand what a duel is or what the terms of it are.

Nikola Orsinov - Would agree for fun.

Daisy Tonner - Unironically would love to be offered the chance to duel and her hunter’s instinct would take over right into saying yes.

Julia Montauk - Did agree to a duel with Trever using blanks.

Gertrude Robinson - Has agreed to a duel. She won.

Simon Fairchild - Has agreed to a duel. He lost.

Mikale Salesa - Has been in a weird amount of duels.
