Arthur's Vault

Name: Arthur Armstrong
Country Affiliation: Magnostadt
Race: Human
Tier: D-Tier
Specialization: Intelligence - Life Magic
Age + Birthdate: 11 | 19/10
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Still a kid, Arthur is not very interested in romance. But he does have heterosexual orientation, he simply doesn't knows it yet.

Personality: Arthur is a prideful, deceiving and full of hatred kid. Although young, he's very smart and clever, whilst incredibly good at manipulating and persuading other people. Having cursed his own fate, he hardly approaches someone without ulterior motives, and will never trust someone for real without a really strong reason. He acts alone and is individualistic, as he believes that groups are too risky - who knows when you'll be betrayed?

Even though he is mostly calm and quiet, in battle, Arthur changes completely. He becomes sadistic and violent, aggressive and fearsome. He always aims to inflict pain into the foes, and even in fights where he needs to kill the enemy, he prolongs the suffering as much as he can. In these moments, he constantly grins, laughs and mocks the opponents, cruelly.

And, at the rare situations in which he's beside someone he holds dear, or that he can call a friend, he acts more friendly, while still being sarcastic and mocking. But it's true that he feels more comfortable when he has someone who he can believe into, instead of living with the fear of betrayal.

When trying to manipulate someone, he makes use of his age - what makes people think he's weak or harmless - and acts innocently and childishly, so that he's able to gain their trust. And, as always, he mocks and provokes them when they discover his true self - or when he reveals it himself.

Additionally, Arthur's able to hear the voices of the living forms he creates with his magic, inside of his head. And they're not generally saying happy things. Of course, it's all in his mind - they don't actually talk, but he believes they do so, probably because of his trauma.

Likes:

• Inflicting Pain: Sadistic, Arthur loves to inflict pain and suffering in his enemies - or allies, he doesn't really cares. The pain also doesn't needs to be physical, and as he's good with the words, breaking other people's minds make him feel good as well.
  
• Fighting: When he's battling is that Arthur's able to "let it go", as he can use his magic to its fullest, and he loves it.
  
• Sweets: Arthur's favorite food, in particular. Almost anything that contains sugar can make his day a little bit brighter.
  

Dislikes:

• Betrayal: There's nothing that he hates more than betrayal, and it is the main reason for him to trust in almost no one.
  
• Weaklings: They're really annoying. They cannot even entertain Arthur in combat, nor are they of any use as allies. In other words, weaklings are completely useless.
  

Aspirations: To become the strongest Life Magic user in the entire world is his first goal. Prideful as he is, not being the number one into something that is his greatest talent really pisses him. With this, he will be able to obtain an insanely high amount of power and notoriety, that he'll use to achieve his second objective: reach a high position in Magnostadt. Perhaps, controlling the entire country would do, as well. What he really wants is to have influence - a lot of influence - in Magnostadt. After he does this, things go out smoothly: it's just throw the world into a violent, bloody war, and he'll have the most fun time in his entire life. And that'll be only the beginning...

Phobias/fears: Betrayal. He fears it as much as he hates it, all thanks to his father (explained in History). Because of that, he hardly trusts anyone, the logic is very simple: if there's no one to betray him, obviously, he won't be betrayed. This way, there are only a few people he properly socializes with, and when he tries to approach someone, it's almost always with ulterior motives, or because he's willing to use that person somehow. But, if he were to, someday, be betrayed, Arthur probably wouldn't measure efforts to make that person pay - and pay dearly.

Appearance: Arthur's a kid, and as one, he's short seems to be, at first glance, harmless and childish. With a slim body, white skin and a dark black colored short hair, there's nothing very peculiar in his appearance. But, at the same time, his blood-red eyes emit a different vibe for those who look deep into them: something more aggressive and fearsome, that contrasts with his plain look. He's almost always wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with an open collar, and another sleeveless dark-grey shirt over the first one. His shorts are of a lighter grey color, and reach his knees. As for body language, his is normally relaxed and nonchalantly, while on battles, it gets more aggressive and violent, and he constantly licks his own lips when he's enjoying it.

Rukh Alignment: Black Rukh

Special Traits: His eyes emit a light, red glow when he's angry.

History: Arthur's story starts even before he was born, in the reality. It starts with the story of Klaus Armstrong and Leona Strauss, two human wanderers that fell in love with each other. While Klaus was son of a ancient bloodline of powerful warriors, and was travelling around the world to improve his skills, Leona was descendant of a tribe of mages, and was running from her homeland, that was attacked by other tribes. Somewhere near the Kou Empire's lands, they met each other in a very peculiar situation. Leona was being attacked by a pack of wild wolves, and had lost her wand. Klaus, then, killed the animals and saved the mage, and it was love at first sight. After some months, they pledged eternal love and married themselves, having a child not too long after.

The kid's first years were as good as they could possibly be: he had two caring parents and his family was happy. But it didn't last too long. Klaus wanted his first son to be a warrior, just like he was, but he wasn't born with a body fitting for that. Moreover, he had an absurd magic potential, what really frustrated the Armstrong father. Very arrogant, he started to think that that was fault of his wife, and started to go out at night, to drink and "have fun with his friends". Of course, a lie. In one of those nights, Leona decided to go after him to see what he was doing with her own eyes, just to discover that the fun he was having was with prostitutes.

With a mixture of sadness and hatred, Leona decided that she would run away with her child, even before Klaus could return home. And so she did, and taking Arthur with her, the woman fled to the lands near Magnostadt, and started to live there, together with her son. She didn't hid what happened from Arthur, and as soon as he had the age to understand what happened - more precisely, when he was ten - she told him everything. Just in time, indeed. Not even a month after that, Klaus, that was searching them all over, found his ex-wife and son. Without a single word, he killed Leona in front of Arthur, beheading her. Angry like he never got, the kid used his magic to summon some kind of monster, that ate his father entirely, leaving only a pool of blood. He cursed his own fate, having nothing left, and cried the whole night.

After that day, he understood that betrayal was the most obnoxious thing that existed: his father, who was wrong, took his beloved mother life because of that. Because he betrayed. In the year he completed eleven, Arthur travelled to Magnostadt, where he would practice his magic to take it to a new level. It wouldn't take too much time: soon, the world would be in the palm of his hands.

Role-Play Sample:

It was a cold night in the lands next to the Magnostadt country, and the foolish hunter had gone out to hunt some deers. How unlucky he was. Walking silently through the woods, he stopped beside a dead, fallen tree. Somewhere between ten to fifteen meters in front of him, at the lake, one of the animals was drinking water. The hunter prepared the bow, aiming at tonight's prey. It was then that something he never expected happened.

As if jumping from the shadows - no, as if it were the shadows itself - a terrifying creature slithered rapidly towards the deer and, in a single bite, devoured it. Besides it, a kid with blood red eyes. He smirked, looking to the remains of what once was an living being. Then, he suddenly turned to the hunter. "Oh, so you were seeing, huh?" The creature surrounded the kid in a strange way, and the hunter could see it better: it was pitch black, and had gigantic eyes and mouths all over its extension. The boy was in the middle, grinning. "Sorry, mister. But you'll have to die." The, his grin became macabre and sadistic, and the creature attacked, moving fast.

*GULP*

"Hahaha...that's so sad. If he weren't here, we wouldn't need to kill him. Let's go, Pride." The boy said, leaving the area. In the other day, at morning, only blood pools were found at the location. And no one knew that it was all work of a small boy...
