Guild Membership Status: |
Arc is the first official recruit of the Winter's Blade guild (as opposed to one of the guildmaster's original entourage). His opinion of the guild is as high as it was when he first camped outside of its doors for the grand opening, and he considers himself something of a "reliable older brother"-figure to those who came after him--even the ones older and more powerful than him.

Right breast, opposite his heart. Color is, unsurprisingly, blue.

History: |
Arcturus parents were charcoal burners from a town in the fens south of the Valley--a town that was destroyed by that six-eyed beast when he was only six years old. The apparent sole survivor of attack, he was found in the ruins of his hometown by a man they once called a Saint and became one of his disciples.
For 12 years, Arcturus lived and trained in a repurposed Aevic temple deep in the mountains along the coast east of White Harbor. He was one of three apprentices. The others were an orphan boy from a similar situation and the master's granddaughter, respectively. As three kids of roughly the same age, they all grew very close over the years. Many of his current quirks can be credited to them; his first gift was a wolf pelt cape, and their only entertainment was stories of heroes, camaraderie, and victory against all odds (and old issues of Sorcerer Weekly).
At first, Arcturus didn't understand why they had to undergo grueling physical and martial exercises before learning any magic. However, the reason was made very clear when his master's granddaughter was unable to handle the effects of Celestial Body Magic, and rendered bedridden for the rest of her brief life. With this, their once-idyllic lifestyle had irreversibly changed, and about a year later, Arcturus' master disappeared into the night, never to be seen again. Whether this was due to guilt or some other calling, Arcturus knows not.
Although the three students waited hopefully for their master's return, they eventually parted ways. The orphan boy left the temple to hunt down their master, and Arcturus, the sole emotional steadfast of the group, was forced to watch his remaining friend slowly succumb to her condition before finally leaving the place behind himself.
Since then, Arcturus has made his home in White Harbor, or at least used it as a base while looking for his friend and his master in between freelance jobs. When news that a guild run by Aiden Cross the destroyer of Demon's Maw, he knew what he had to do: he excitedly set up camp outside, waiting for the day the refurbished hall would open. To work under another true hero would be a privilege, and surely a guild run by someone like Aiden would have many connections to help him search.
Unfortunately, this was far from the case, but he's been having fun so far.

Magic: |
Celestial Body Magic
Caster Magic that uses the user's body as a conduit for various astronomical entities and their properties. It has a few lore changes for the AU, but for the most part it functions similarly to its canon counterpart. Arcturus' signature spell is Meteor, which grants flight and increased speed and power. Although his mastery of this single spell is notable, his lack of versatility limits him from exhibiting the true potential of his style.

Literally just a closet full of capes. |
Strengths and Weakness: |
+ Flying Brick +
As part of his magical training, Arcturus has adhered to a grueling physical training regimen for the better part of two decades. Combined with his martial arts training, his natural body has become quite robust over the years.
+ Martial Artist +
Arc is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter with years of experience under his belt. He has developed a high technical command of his style's striking and throwing techniques. He doesn't remember the proper name, but he refers to his style as the Fist of the Day Star. It hasn't quite caught on.
+ Eye for Art (Clothing) +
Although Arcturus cannot rightfully be called a man of wealth, he is a man of taste, and that means he knows a little something-something about looking fly--as should be obvious considering his wide repertoire of capes.
= Various Personality-based Strengths and Weaknesses =
Bruh, just read the Personality section.
- Narrow Specialist -
Arcturus' fighting style is based on a single spell refined to perfection. While it is a good spell, it is still only one, and Celestial Body Magic is not wanting in versatility. Despite constant suggestions that he diversify, he has still yet to understand the necessity of a wide base--or perhaps, willfully ignores it.
