After using several holy spells consistently he will suffer from painful migraines. They can sometimes leave Arcite in a very vulnerable state to attack. This is believed to be a rare seal placed on those whose magic energies are enough to destroy themselves, thus it is sent onto them as a protection... is it a blessing or a curse. Arcite is a Paladin on his quest against all that is corrupt and evil. When he sets down his sword to make money he normally finds himself as a blacksmith since it one of his few learned trades aside from fighting and healing magic.
Possessions: Arcites Curiass - Arcite wears a silver and gold sheened set of armor (though it is steel in nature), though it is only a little above average in protection it provides his small defensive bonuses against sorcery, such as your standard fireball; lightning bolt, frost bolt, up to level three magics. Due to the bulk of his armor it has been known to slow him down at times. He had made a trade off, speed for endurance in battle.
Arcites Enforcer - Arcite carries a single broad sword, he uses both hands to use it but it only requires one hand to use. It is about four feet in length and about five inches in blade width. It is made of a light weight alloy (made up of a steel enchanted by magic to reduce weight) and the hilt is made of solid oak and is jeweled by one large deep blue Sapphire that can be seen on both sides right under the blade. Lastly it was blessed by the priests of Aldaron so it harnesses a small amount of holy power, enough to cut through a standard zombie like butter and even burn a lich.
Appearance: Arcite stands at six feet tall, he is two hundred and twenty pounds of muscle due to his rigorous training in heavy suits of armor his body has attuned itself in size and strength. His skin has a light tan and his facial structure is strong yet gentle. His eyes are a deep sapphire a pair that often finds women gazing longingly into them. His hair is for the most part short and is jet black in color, along with his short chin strap beard.
Personality: Arcite is a very kind man, his gestures are normally noble in deed as well. His past and the actions he took in the past have shaped who he is today. Arcite is a natural born leader and a great speaker, he has rallied troops and peasants alike with speeches he would give when at battle.
Arcite works well with people who are in common interest with him, and he always tries to make a chivalrous appearence to the women. His sense of humor is fairly decent as he will on occasion catch himself joking about a dire situation to lighten the mood around him.
Arcite has a few long term goals, his major goal is to make the world of Entar a safer place for all races to live. His other long term goal is to find himself a good woman to settle down with and live safely on a estate that they may spend the rest of their lives together.

History:
After playing in the woods nearby a small town, Arcite, came back to ruins, his father layed bleeding on the ground as he was surrounded by several dead mercinaries. "Arcite....... don't..... ever.. give.... up." said a man on his death bed. His wound was deadly, as it was a punctured lung. It was amazing the old grizzled man could speak, his son, whose tears cutting through the dirt on his face from the recent bandit attack. His father had given his life to protect him, the last thing Arcite received from his dad was a necklace with the symbol of Aldaron.
Later that day he was retrieved by a Paladin in the order of Aldaron, where he would spend the next thirteen years training. The paladin that had retrieved him was Ganas, a lifetime friend of Arcites father. When they reached Ganas's estate he began the training of Arcites.
"Arcite.... im sorry about your father.... but now you must partake your training to be a Paladin for the Order of Aldaron, do you know the duties of this Order?" said Ganas quietly
"Yes..... it is our duty to rid the world of evil and namely the followers of Maedhros the Fallen One. The tools of the order is the strong sword and the sturdy shield. The is what my father had told me." said Arcite in a hushed tone back to Ganas
"It seems your father has taught you a great deal about of our Order, but what about weilding a sword?" Ganas asked with a smile getting out a small training sword.
Arcite took the sword and began to swing athe training dummy quite well for a child of his age.
"He will be better than his father.... even myself..." said Ganas, one of the Orders top paladins.
Several years later after Arcites training was over he was sent out to find a man named Faeldor, it was later that Arcite learned Faeldor was his fathers killer. Arcite traveled for six weeks to find Faeldors base, it turned out to be an old run down tavern. Arcite studied it closely for any bad foundation or weak spots in the wood. He found none, instead he drew out his sword and called out, "FAELDOR, SHOW YOUR FACE NOW!!!" Out came a tall dark elf, clad in black armor his eyes were red and his sword matched the hatred harbored in his heart. He smiled at Arcite with malice in his grin and said, "So the boy has become a man...."
Arcite glared at him drawing his silvery long sword and asked "Why did you kill all those people? Why did you kill my father in cold blood?"
Faeldor smiled and said "I want to bring pain and death upon all humans.... they must perish!" he growled with a low tone
"How are we deserving..... of this pain we are feeling" Arcite asked his emotions growing as the fight was about to erupt
"You humans think you own everything... your greed knows no bounds and my Order wants no one to stop us from our final goal... the revival of Maedhros!" with that he charged Arcite in a blind fury. Arcite kept his cool despite the emotions welling up inside of him, he set his stance up and his sword pointed out at level of his waist. Faeldor raised his sword over his head ready to downswing, his strength showed as he swung down at Arcite but it missed. Arcite had spun around swinging his sword behind his foe, it cut right through the armor and sliced Faeldors spine in half. He fell to the ground in two halves, a pool of blood separating the two halves.
"Father.... your death has been avenged.... but your mission will have to continue, I will be the harbinger of the Holy Fury of Aldaron." Arcite said looking over the body of his foe. With that he set out to continue his adventures and finish his life long mission. During his travels Arcite would often stop so that whe may indulge into one of his favorite pass times, and try to make some money at the same time. His skill is repairing armor and weapons and above par due to his fighting, the need to keep his equipment in good shape was a must for him to learn.
