Profile
Arcus
"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."
Arcus is a Dastotan prophet, prophesying the end of the Dastota kingdom itself at the hands of a dark god. Though his words aren't heeded...
Arcus tries his best. He really does. Though with him being nowhere near a people person and insanely shy, he can't help but wonder why Achradel chose him of all people to inherit the ability to manipulate energy. Though he still felt a duty to warn and protect his people, even if the king kept shutting his attempts down. He would keep trying. Even if it killed him.
Smart • Kind • Respectful
Arcus is a decent person by all means, and he isn't one to be rude or mean.
Not only is he nice, he is also smart. Not the smartest man by all means, but definitely smarter than many of his peers. What he lacks in social skills he absolutely makes up for in his intelligence. He enjoys a good intellectual chat, as long as it's nice and calm. But again, overall, he is a quiet and kind person.
Shy • Anxious • Jumpy
On the inside, he is a ball of anxiety and a whirlwind of emotions
He is not a people person, even if he does enjoy the occasional chat he doesn't actively seek them out. He is shy beyond belief, which makes his plan to save the Dastota kingdom even more difficult on him. That and he's very jittery and jumpy.
Early Life
"I envy you for all the love you get."
Arcus was an orphan, dropped off at a small orphanage after his parents died when he was very young.
He was just a few months old when his parents died, and was promptly sent to an orphanage. There, he didn't really connect with the other kids. He found himself being nervous and withdrawn around them. He would find himself buried in books, losing himself in their stories. In that sense he had a somewhat normal childhood all things considered.
The Meeting
"Don't make promises you don't intend to keep."
He soon grew up, moved out of the orphanage, and found himself a little hut near the corner of the city. He was very easygoing and quiet, staying out of the piblic eye for the most part. Though one night, a powerful Daizan visited him. Achradel came to him, telling him of the Dastota Kingdom's impending doom at the hands of Deldemos. Arcus was frightened, he didn't know what to do, he didn't understand why he of all people had to be the one to warn people. Through more visits, Achradel gave Arcus knowledge of Vitar energy, and how he could control it.
The Warnings
"I am exhausted from trying to be stronger than I feel."
With his newfound knowledge, Arcus went to the king of Dastota and voiced his worries. Thasvan, of course, didn't listen. He wrote Arcus off, banned him from the castle, and made him a laughing stock. Though Arcus continued, pushing through his fears to try and warn the people. Though many saw him as a crazy man, ranting and raving on the street corners. Though soon they would realize they made a mistake in writing him off...

HOBBIES
Reading: From an early age, Arcus enjoyed reading. He would forego playing with others and read instead. It brought him calm and comfort...
Practicing his energy: In his free time, when he isn't reading, he is practicing with his energy. He enjoys making new shapes with it, and seeing how far he can push himself.
STRENGTHS
His energy: His ability to manipulate energy has come in handy multiple times. Besides... He is expected to save the kingdom with his ability anyway, right?
His perseverence: Even if he is shy, he really doesn't give up. Which, of course, really helps when it comes to the whole being a prophet thing.
WEAKNESSES
His shyness: His shyness and anxiety do not serve him well when it comes to his mission. Especially since it involves a lot of public speaking.
His need for guidance: It's hard for him to start things on his own, and he needs someone there to guide him to the right path. Without it, he tends to start floundering.

FEARS

Achradel
Mentor
"The expert in anything was once the beginner."
Achradel is his mentor and teacher, teaching him how to use energy. He also warned Arcus of his kingdom's impending doom.
Achradel came to him at an early age, having picked him out of every other Dastotan to spread his message. Though Arcus always believed that he was an awful choice and that any other random orphan would have done much better. Though he did trust Achradel in another sense, if he was chosen then there had to be a reason... Right?
Thasvan
Mutual dislike
"You cannot help someone who does not want to listen to advice."
The two have a very strained relationship to say the least.
Thasvan finds him to be annoying, and Arcus knows that Thasvan doesn't listen. Arcus wants so badly for him to listen, for him to at least try and pay attention. He tried everything, and yet Thsasvan wouldn't listen. Though he'd keep at it, he needed someone to listen...
Keliir
Enemy?
"The wise learn many things from their enemies."
Enemies... kind of.
Arcus was destined to defeat Keliir in battle, it is what Achradel said. So he had to, right? So when he found himself taking a liking to him, he was surprised. He was supposed to kill him! Not find him interesting.

What he usually wears.
He tends to wear a lot of layers, and something comfortable at least. His clothing isn't very expensive by Dastotan means, probably something a little more on the formal side of everage clothing. If anything he wants to look presentable.
ACCESSORIES

Him when he's using energy,
He can create many things out of energy, platforms, wings, weapons, all sorts of stuff. Though it does tend to wear him out if he uses too much too quickly. Sometimes the energy can lift him off the ground, though he tends to use platforms for such things instead.
