Arcis Belrose

Arcis is a kind-hearted man with a will of steel. Although he was orphaned at a young age, he was adopted into such a welcoming and kind community that he's been able to grow into a generally happy individual with a love for the world around him. He can often feel quite peaceful, especially as he loves to spend much of his time either reading under the light of the sun or merely walking through the forests of Salus that he calls home. He has a good sense of humor and is supportive of those around him, but even though he is friendly, he finds himself without many friends.

Although he can seem quite calm and collected most of the time, and tends to maintain a cool head even in the most stressful situations, he can become quite emotional when it comes down to dragonkind. He finds them fascinating, and wants to protect them at all costs. This makes him an avid hater of dragon hunters, and his rage when faced with such people is unparalleled.

Arcis was orphaned and alone in the Salean woods at a very young age, so young that he hardly even remembers it. Instead of falling prey to wild beasts or starvation, however, he was rescued by the residents of a town hidden deep within Salus, known simply as "Sanctuary". The residents of Sanctuary all have nowhere else to call their home, and Arcis was welcomed there with open arms. He was quickly adopted by the community, as well as by an elder dragon known as The Father, where Arcis was allowed to safely grow up with his draconic siblings.

Having lived alongside people and dragons alike, Arcis had a very difficult time understanding why the two species fought outside of Salean borders, and believed that peace was obtainable if people simply spent enough time learning to understand dragons. His dreams of a perfect world where dragons and humans co-existed would be quickly dashed as war fell upon Sanctuary's location, and Arcis would bear witness to the violence caused by self-centeredness and hatred for dragonkind. Determined not to let outsiders harm any more of his communal family, Arcis picked up the lance and became a Dragon Knight, and would end up in the service of Kuria, the so-called Dragon Queen of Salus.

As Ultima continues to press inwards into Salus, and opportunists attempt to find the secret village to hunt dragons, Kuria grows weary and injured from defending her people. Arcis is now very busy defending anything he can, but a chance encounter with Sirius, Saurax and Gina will send him on a journey he never imagined himself having.
