[Student] Aviskus, Arkian A.

General

Appearance

Arkian's stands at approximately at five foot ten in height, weighting around one hundred and seventy four pounds. He has fairly light skin due to his neglect of sunlight with his long attire and indoors schedule. He has black shaggy hair that reaches the base of his neck, which he makes minimal but eventual effort to retain its length. Despite his origins, Arkian resembles an eastern Caucasian person in terms of facial structure. It is defined as 'diamond shaped' with features of almond shaped eyes and straight-edged narrow nose bridge. Arkian's teeth are nearly as sharp as carnivorous mammals to accommodate his main diet of meat. In terms of health, Arkian's body is adequately resistant to illness and physically moderately fit, with his body mass index falling under normal classification, Arkian has a light frame that easily displays a toned figure. His limbs are slightly longer than the average person; this physical trait is hardly noticeable without measurement and comparison. His body is without much scars due to his ability to heal unnaturally fast, save for a circular light purple scar around his entire left elbow due to previous injury of his personal life, along with small cuts below his eye sockets and above his cheeks. For unknown reasons, his left forearm moves in mechanical manner, able to only constrict or extend the grip of his hand, and rotate in a machine-like fashion, hinting to others that it might be a prosthetic.

Arkian's outfits are very diverse and have evolved over his experiences to reminisce about his past and honor a person, cause or event in his life. Arkian previous wore a variation of the student outfit at the academy during his early years of enrollment, consisting of a white overcoat and grey undershirt and black leggings. Along with that he would wear leather shoes, coupled with white socks. He commonly carried around a satchel bag over his shoulder to carry his necessity, along with a steel scabbard and a shortsword around his hip on the left side, fastened to a leather belt strapped around his torso and waist. Arkian refers to this previous outfit as "Civil" after he started applying names to certain attire.

He has a similar outfit, updated with better sized clothes and higher quality materials which he wears for formal events. He instead hauls around his bastard sword on a strapped adjusted onto his shoulders rather than a shortsword on his belt. He also wears black dress shoes instead. This outfit has been dubbed "Socialite" by him.

After a few years of enrollment and being unable to graduate to a new year, Arkian began to dress in a familiar –to himself - black attire upon promotion to the next grade.
This outfit, known as "Empire" consists of a black duffle coat worn over a grey sweater and black cotton pants. His coat extends to the lower sections of his femur/thighs, effectively covering the upper legs allowing him to conceal anything satchels and weapons strapped to the leg and up. With this outfit, he would wear ankle socks and a pair of reinforced safety boots. Around it, he swears a black web belt with a sliver head around his waist, with two satchels at his right hip, slid and locked onto his belt. He carries around his weapons either with its own sheathes and straps on his back, improvise with any straps or such, or hook it onto his belt in the end if the weapon possessed a ring at the bottom of the handle. His common weapon of choice is a bastard sword, carried by him on his back with its own sheathe and tied onto him with belt straps around his torso diagonally and across his hip. Under the loose sleeves of the coat, Arkian carries a concealed knife strapped onto the posterior of his left forearm. He wears this outfit as his default choice of clothing because of its durability and comfort, usually walking around with academy with it for his classes, and usually on missions on warm or cold regions. In the case of hot temperatures suddenly developing, Arkian would put the coat into his backpack, if any, and roll up the sleeves of his sweater. Otherwise he would ditch the coat entirely.

Another of Arkian's outfit, named "Wanderer" if made up a tan-colored overcoat with its sleeves folded at his elbows. With this, Arkian wears a tan undershirt, yet wrapped his forearms in dark green cloth to cover them before wearing brown leather gauntlets over them. His leggings more loose than the others and are tucked into shin-high padded brown boots with fur cuffs. The outfit is meant to emphasis the dexterity and agility, as the outfit provides little protection against any physical or elemental force, save for the overcoat, gauntlets or boots themselves which offer only little resistant to blunt force and small sharp objects. His carries a small knife strapped onto the left side of his belt in front of him for quick reach, with a mid-sized sheath located behind the back of his waist, holstering a single-edged blade, presumably a dagger, with his handle aimed outwards to the right. His sword would be carried around on his back, with leather straps, the blade’s handle aimed up to the right. Any other weapons carried by him would be loaded into a backpack, provided his carries on, or carried with their own or improvised sheathes in place of his other weaponry. Arkian uses this as an alternate outfit for field work in warn or hot areas (the latter would involve him without a coat), or intending to travel lightly for any mission where speed the core focus and combat is unlikely, such as scouting missions.

In the past, it was rumored by two students that Arkian wore an unknown outfit. Due to the lack of information, it is uncertain if it did ever exist. The only hint that anyone would have to go off of would be a sketch of a random outfit in Arkian’s room which was ‘borrowed’ by a particular student, and the word “Conqueror” written besides it.

Personality

Growing up with only a few parental figures, and a lack of permanently assigned parental personnel, Arkian turned to the word of fiction and literature during a mental state of solitude at the Academy. His books and novels mainly compromised of the feats and bravery of honorable and well respected men, both fictional and non-fictional, leading him to develop a personality akin of his personal favorite heroes. His personally eventually developed to accommodate his believe, shaping his behavior to be kind, respectful and indiscriminate towards others in other to uphold a self-developed code of honor, originally based off of the ones followed by western European knights, or at least the ideologies and beliefs that were pushed into popularity by the world of modern literature and mediums.

Prior to current events, Arkian’s personality was very reclusive and unconfident towards social interaction. While he still possessed his beliefs and a code of honor, he had possessed poor self-esteem and would degrade himself and his abilities on a personal level to the point of pity. He spent many of his time admiring social butterflies and more prosperous individuals around him, however he would attempt to remain unnoticeable and feel threaten by the presence of others due to constant harassment of his poor academic and physical achievements. However due to certain scenarios that took place over half a decade, Arkian altered his personality, and was able to freely pursue his own beliefs with passive confidence.

Arkian is easily described as modest, well-mannered and somewhat considerate from another’s perspective. To others he generally tries to convey a sense of mind unreliability yet undying but unsworn loyalty. From his experiences, he’s learned to keep a cool head and remain calm even non-dire situations, he can easily hold his temper in almost any social situation, even when it turns to light violence. He executes casual tasks with a hint of clumsiness and the mindset of a simpleton, whilst still attempting to maintain a friendly charm with others. He eventually changes his attitude towards others individually, based on their own personality, in order to better communicate with them on a personal level to help establish a friendly bond.

However, the majority of his actions are very much intentional and consciously decided by him. Arkian’s abilities and skills, as well as his experience during past events, has made him very hardened, observant and coordinated. Arkian is extremely skilled in using high hand, displaying a high level of dexterity he refers to as “Sleight of the Hand”. Occasionally, intent slip by his mind, thinking out loudly his in-depth analysis of situations and clues as well as any notable occurrences around him from all senses. Because of this, Arkian is easily resourceful if allowed to proceed as he commonly sees fit. He is unshaken by various stress-inducing situations, allowing him to remain calm and concise with tasks under pressure. Arkian’s trait he tends to display purposefully is a dislike for bloodlust of any sorts.

However…:

History

Arkian's history starts at the Mage Academy. With no recollection of his past, parents or heritage, his earliest of memories are vague to him, remembering only him being instructed by a few vague individuals of his identity which he carries today. Put under the Academy's care under the classification as "additional cargo" under a mission document. Any other details about him were either destroyed or redacted in the existing documents. Originally, he was temporarily supposed to be kept at the previously abandoned dorms, which was left after modernization efforts. However it was later established that it would become his permanent location of stay until further notice.

At the age of 10, Arkian was enrolled into the classes of the Academy, while mainly being supervised by various staff members as personal tutors under the command of high ranking academy personnel as a means of rehabilitation into society amongst other individuals. However, progress showed to be poor, as Arkian's weak socialization skills and lack of initiative as well as tact slowly resulted into him being generally viewed as an outcast to his peers. Seeing this, various staff members suggested he indulge himself into various hobbies, mainly those of literature, to avoid him developing a horrible sense of morality. He was provided various stories and novels, with occasional text books to help with his common and some intermediate knowledge.

As a year went by, Arkian eventually developed a minor personality, yet very shy due to his lack of confidence from previous attempts of socialization. Because of this, he was rarely able to interact with others, and developed great admiration for others which near-flawless socialization skills. Despite his efforts, three years have passed since Arkian had been enrolled by staff choice, yet he showed hardly any progress in his academics and magic while mild in his corporeal classes, it was not enough to leave the academy staff members satisfied. As such, support on Arkian was eventually dropped, leaving him with mandatory amenities and permissions of a regular student. The loss of support from the staff members did not matter much to Arkian, however it left his mental state in vulnerable position, causing him to have extreme loyalty towards those he trusts, all while making him extremely cynical to others, making it extremely difficult for him to trust anyone at all. Arkian’s inspiration and role models were a few of his upper classmates, whom were deeply admired by him though he never communicated with them.

Despite his predicament and attitude towards others, Arkian was soon dragged into an obscure group on the route to his dormitory through one of his admired classmate who was the top performers of the second year students. The group mainly operated in Europe, and was working on destroying a long-term coup by a coalition that was close to its completion, setting back their enemies’ progress while both sides were working to keep the conflict completely anonymous from anyone than themselves. Arkian’s skills were evaluated, but were severely looked over due to the initial impressions he made on the upper ranks of the organization. He was equipped normally and relied mainly on his teammates for combat and assistance, equal to being a spare member of the group. Though his involvement was viewed as a joke, it was not until a botched operation in a disguised village a few kilometers off the Oder-Neisse line, the event Arkian’s innocent line of thought and allowed him the freedom and initiative to better his skills and seek out vengeance. A year had passed, and Arkian managed successful executed one of the enemy commanders, Arkian had returned to the Academy and completing his first year with passing grades, allowing him to move onto the classes of a second year. Though resigned, Arkian returned to the organization with his specific sense of duty still intact despite fulfilled.

Throughout the next three years of his life, Arkian undertook various missions for his organization while enacting a mutual agenda. He was able to communicate with various sources and experience hands-on training in various fields, as well as had performed quick and stern studies of necessary skills for his jobs. During this, Arkian personally witnessed the demises of the other enemy commanders with his own eyes after facing them and their various talents. The organization managed to stir up internal conflicts and unrest which worked against the groups associated the enemy coalition, allowing the organization to stage their ending act. In a final assault, Arkian’s unit which he now led was tasked with the stealthy infiltration and sabotage of the enemy forces, allowing the organization to even the battlefield for themselves and the success of their troops. When the last enemy commander fell, so did the coalition they had all formed. Remnants of the coalition scattered into the various nations of Europe. The organization Arkian was a part of was decimated from their recent assaults, it quickly started to crumble with a few members resigning, and even fewer surviving to the end. It was unknown as to what the final blow to organization was, however the organization was quickly taken down and finished before they could execute an ulterior motive. Afterwards Arkian returned full time to the academy once more, this time being the last he would see of his organization. This his goal achieved, Arkian was able to come to terms with the various losses he faced. Though various years had passed, Arkian was free to pass onto the third year of the academy, with his new goals in mind.
