Player in my game is having trouble coming up with stuff for his character to have as hobbies, personality, goals that aren't "Im a wizard, i do wizard things, i have wizard goals"
Hes been a blank slate of a character for 2 years now, he came back to me saying that hes got nothing and hes just not gonna do anything and keep the blank slate.
So I've started working on a list of random shit to hopefully have him cobble something together that speaks out to him, could i get your guys helps with motivations/goals/interests?

Depends on the context, my guy. What's the setting like, what is magic like and how are wizards viewed? How are they organized? What's this guys history+

If he's actively fighting roleplaying, you're not going to get him to change. Some people just want to roll play, and murderhobo.
If that's not what you're going for in the game, let him know, and if he still wants to play decide if he's a detriment to the game or not.
Maybe give him a backstory where his character traded his personality for more magic power.

Wizard life goals 1. Conquer Realm 2. Build mighty Wizard Tower to oversee it
Liam Lopez
That could actually be kind of interesting. Traded away or burned out his personhood in order to become a conduit of pure magic, leaving him powerful but willless. Might use that for an npc
Jonathan Jackson
wizards like knowledge, mana and sex

Make his lack of goals his goal. After years and years of sacrificing his personal life on the altar of academic and magical success, one day he realises that it's not really made him happy. Nothing really makes him happy anymore, not really, and so his goal becomes to shake off the depression and ennui and find something that he enjoys and wants to do, or else at least rekindle his passion for magic

So, he's driving a big noisy bike and part of the hell's angels?

Setting, big ol island full of mystery and wonder, players are trapped here by magic, tons of new magic and monsters to be found here. also theres like a massive ruling king and systems of rule all about it.
Wizards where hes from are seen as sinners and heretics, wizards on this island are seen as useful members of society and are plentiful. wizards are allowed to live their own life and do whatever they want like anybody else.
His backstory? welp its not much, he grew up a roaming gypsy, when his family found out he had magic they ditched him on the side of the road, he became a bounty hunter for a short time before joining a group of mages all in hiding, they all got killed except him so he ran, he hates this land hes from so he hopped on a boat and wound up here on this island.
