From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

Arroan was originally...just a side character pretty much. A major but not main in my main Virtue char's (Zartemis') backstory. He sounded...just like he would be enjoyable to play, so I built on him, and eventually he became what he is today.

• Brendan Aft - His best friend/brother's best friend, and a friend by default, Arro enjoys illusion pranking Brendan, but is childishly upset if/when Ava ruins his fun.

• Cap'n Contradiction - Kate manages to continually frustrate Arro with her nickname for him, (Eunach Boy, though both Alex and Gloom Candle have copped a feel on him to 'try and end the nickname') and her lack of memory for villain groups people talk about, but he's still her friend somehow.

[edit] Enemies

Crey - Arroan is generally peaceful man. Until Crey gets in his way. And then, heads start to roll. It all began when he heard what Crey had done to Alex. Then Holly. Kherai. Then so many others. The mind control. The unwatched, dangerous, cruel experiments. Iggy. Something within him snapped. And that was the end. The first undocumented event ever with Arroan, involved the slaying of 50, give or take twenty, men on the upper level of Crey's main mind control center. When his teammates finally caught up with him, all they could see in the room was crimson smears across the floor, walls, even ceiling, and Arroan himself, in his true form, covered in blood. It was the start of a war.Now Crey is out for his blood. They already have plans for him, starting with the limiter on his upper right arm....

[edit] Physical Description

[edit] Demon Form

In his full demonic glory, Arroan towers above most humans at a /very/ large 7 feet. His skin is pitch black, his silvery swirling eyes bared to the world. He tends to carry a large skull on his right shoulder, with elongated fangs, from a Hellburnt Lizard he hunted.. Deep blue horns adorn his head, curved wickedly. Dark blue wings with silverish flaps extend from his back, furled gently but ready to fly at any time. He also bears a tail in this form, that lashes violently when he's annoyed, angry, or bored.

This form is only used in moments of intense pressure, or when he's in Hell. It's possible, if someone came along who was strong enough threatened his friends, he'd use this form. In this form, his city power limiter is deactivated temporairily, allowing him full access to his immense stores of energy and more stored atmospheric dischage energy(From here on referred to as SADE) he's stored up. His mental abilities are also amplified to full power.

[edit] Half Demon Form

In half demon form, Arroan's skin tone takes on a bronzed color, darkened from the usual orange or caramel complexion off his gigai or temporary body. He also sprouts his wings, powerful thick leathery things, though they are black with red flaps. This form is usually used for general combat, and is dressed appropriately.

But this form also maintains a mask on his lower face, and blindfold over his eyes. When questioned about it, he said, "When I came to this world in this body, with no mask or blindfold, civilian women tended to stare for too long, and it lead to some...unpleasant accidents for them." His powers are also amplified leading to stronger illusions, more mental power, and access to about half his energy stores and SADE, which allows him to shoot and harness lightning.

[edit] Gigai

In his main gigai, he has orange skin, as does his half-demon friend Zartemis. He tends to dress casually in this form, enjoying input and suggestions for his outfit. This is typically his relaxation and socialization form. He also maintains mask and blindfold in this form.

[edit] Personality

Arroan is...erratic, to say the least. Insanity abound, he's a prankster, a pie lover, a loyal friend, and a caring person in general. At moments, he can be the wisest demon to grace the planet. In others, he's an insubordinate kid. But he is easily emotionally hurt, even if he doesn't show it. In one example, where he sort-of accidentally injured one Kaylie Magi and she refused to let him heal her, snapping nastily at him, combined with the past lashing of one Semlin E'Chemos, Arroan shut himself off to what was really him, his playful fun-loving side, becoming a cold worker. If not from some quick work from Semlin and Alexia, he would've been that way for a while longer.

[edit] Powers

[edit] Primary Powers

• Blind : An illusionary set of blinding, rapidly flashing lights in front of an enemy's eyes. Can be used as distraction, or to cause pain and blindness if exposed too much to the lights.

• Decieve: Typically not used other than in combat, but can be used to plant stong suggestions in a target's mind.

• Superior Invisibilty: Anyone who can beat his illusions can see through his stealth, if they're focusing.

• Phantom Army: Three pure illusion targets who have minor will over magical particles which form attacks not unlike a spectral wounds technique, only temporary unless the opponent is defeated, in which case, the particles keep the wounds open.

• Spectral Terror: An illusionary manifestation of fear, that becomes a person's fears, minor to major depending on how much energy he uses for it, and it appears differently to each person.

• Phantasm': A cluster of magical particles given form by illusionary power, able to form magical particles into attacks, and take damage.

[edit] Secondary Powers

• Gale

• Freezing Rain: Commonly used as miniaturized point or target-centered blizzards.

• Tornado: A pressurized, compressed ball of wind, then released slightly into a cone which he can use to simply rustle people up, or send them flying for yards.

• Thunderstorm: Arroan raises his arms, gathering water molecules quickly and purposefully into a small set of clouds which he then presses compresses SADE into. He can then direct more powerful bolts of lightning by using the water molecules to conduct them along their path. This can also be used in many interesting ways, as he can also freeze some of the molecules to fire off a wall of freezing rain, a wall of solid ice, or he can form the wall of ice towards an enemy, creating a temporary shied, which he can fire a bolt of lightning through to send shards of ice flying at the opponent along with the lightning bolt. Truly his most versatile ability, though it takes up alot of his energy.

[edit] Abilities

• Flight - In his gigai(s) he flies on a cloud, usually standing, though his other forms gladly use wings.

• Cloud Summoning - Can summon clouds, and shape them to his will, favoring a growing cloud named Puffy.

• Lightning - Can fire off lightning bolts or make use of it in different forms, like static charges for pranks.

• Illusion Summoning - Can make most anything out of illusions, for pranks, or non-filling, non-fattening snacks.

[edit] Equipment

• Containment Blade - A weapon that can draw, compress, and sharpen most types of energy, I.E. Negative energy, regular energy, fire, lightning, holy energy etc. Only available in Half-demon form and full demon form. Can break when going against stronger magical sources.

In half-demon form, the blade comes from various parts of his glove, due to minute seals carved in, that form the invisible case to capture the energies.

In his true form, he can capture the energies with his own magic, from his palm.

• Mask of the Master Guardians - A special mask made available to all high ranking demons, the mask was weaved with old magicks, spells of protection. The mask filters out all harmful chemicals in the air, yet feels as if it were not there, though it is. In rough situations, in can also temporairily push old, powerful magic into the wearer, boosting his abilities to their limits, but afterwards, the wearers lifespan is cut by the amount of time the ability was used times a thousand.

• Arro's Unblinding Blindfold - Originally made as a strange pranking and trickery tool, the blindfold is well spelled with the ability to allow it's user to see through it, like a one-way mirror. Very few are in production though, as the time it takes to make them is immense.

• Pocket Dimension - The three Sorenki brothers(Zartemis, Arroan, and Jaklar) have practiced for centuries on the portal spells that allow realm travel, eventually coming up with this. They now currently have stabilized, two-way, invisible pocket dimensions around them. To keep these in existance, requires a bit of energy to be funneled from the owner constantly. Should the dimension be unsustained by magic for any extended period of time, it will fail and collapse, destroying all within. Items within it are essentially in stasis, an area where time does not move.

[edit] Weakness & Limitations

• Due to his alignment to holy energies, but also being a demon, he is weak to extremes of shadow energies and holy energies, though he can resist and even absorb some lesser forms of holy.

• Arroan is easily distracted, even in moments of intense need. A single sound behind him, could cause him to whirl about and take an attack to the back.

[edit] Trivia

• Is easily distracted by pie, pocky, and shrimp in large quantities.

• Enjoys most types of furry creatures, and seems to have an affinity with them.
