Temperance: Calm and collected, Arthur comes across as decisive, persistent, witty, and quite bold. He seems to enjoy teasing others, by giving people nicknames, and teasing them about their quirks. After years of travelling around the world with an entertainment troupe, Arthur has gained much knowledge about the world as a whole, and control over illusions and various other tricks. He can usually be seen playing with the local children, working in his office, and flirting with various women around the town. Because of his rampant flirting, he has a wide spread reputation amongst women in various provinces. Although, he flirts with many women, Arthur is mostly, smitten with his childhood, whom he can never get out of his mind. Arthur is quite comfortable with the person he is, already having an established mindset and personality that changes and develops very little over the course of his adventures. He has a tendency to not tell people his plans ahead of time, and looks a bit shady, because of this. Growing up as a merchant’s son, Arthur came to neither trust nor favour nobles, mostly because of the shady activities he witnessed, and their tendency to worry only about themselves. He also tends to take things into his own hands because he feels he has to. Despite being the master of the theatre troupe, he also leads a double life as a phantom thief, who steals from corrupt nobles, using the stolen goods to finance the theatre and take in refugees and others who were affected by the actions of the corrupt. He also has no qualms about killing, but only if he necessarily has too. He has been caught by Marina once, and sees his reasons for what they are, thus she has offered and helped him occasionally when she feels like it.

Strengths/Abilities: Quick speed, able to see spiritual energy, Sharpened intuition, high dexterity & intelligence,& illusions.

Weaknesses: His special illusions from the arcane release slowly drain him of his, spirit energy, thus he has to be careful of their overuse otherwise he passes out from mental exhaustion.

Fighting Style: Arthur's fighting style seems to be inspired by the martial art of Bartitsu, where practitioners are taught to use canes and umbrellas as a weapon in addition to various hand-to-hand techniques.

Weapon biggrin reams of Dusk, An enchanted cane with a sword inside. The cane is solid and lightweight, which allows the user to blind side the enemy. As it is blessed by Luna, the cane is capable of acting as a medium for arcane release, and arcane climax abilities, imbued upon it by the goddess.

Arcane Release: The user produces illusions from the mind. As illusions are made, it drains the spirit energy of the user per illusion created, thus the wielder has to be careful in its use. However, with a focused enough mind, the back draw is minimized and even more solid illusions to the point where they can be physically touched as if real.

Arcane Climax: The user creates a giant physical phantom, which appears as a woman with long white hair, and wearing a flowing black dress with a cloak. Both the cloak and dress have Celtic designs on it, in silver. It also wears light chest guard of silver, as well as a silver bracer on each arm. Additionally, she wears boots and a chained headband with a crescent moon on it. The phantom carries a staff and appears with a cauldron. The cauldron spews forth a fog, which creates various illusions, which can disorientate, and potentially cause the enemy to go insane. The phantom can also attack opponents with the staff, or with a magic spell. This form drains the user’s spirit energy quickly, thus rendering the user immobile, as well as masking the user extremely tired, thus the phantom will dissipate when the user passes out. Therefore it is a last attack measure of desperation. The phantom is said to be a reflection of Luna herself, coming to deliver divine judgement, using the wielder as a medium to channel her. But this is unclear as, even Arthur doesn't really know if it's her or a manifestation of his own sins.

“Dear maiden, you’re absolutely ravishing when you smile, and it’s what made me drew me to ask you to have a little drink with me. “

“Madame, your smile is simply a gift of the goddesses; will you allow me the chance to sweep you off your feet, at the ball tonight?”
