==Abilities==
*Lumokinesis: A gift from the Solar Halos, is his ability to manipulate light. He cannot create light with this ability, and can only use a already existing source. 
*FrostScales: One of the few things he earned from his IceWing heritage is his FrostScales. Disliking it ever as a child, he yearned for a way to get rid of it. Having scales that will freeze your enemies, friends, and family.. it always looked like a curse to him. As he got older he hired an animus to enchant an earring for him, getting rid of his “curse” but also losing the advantage of surviving in the Ice Kingdom.
*Frostbreath “Frostmist”: Another abilities he received from his IceWing side is his Frostbreath, though it’s one of his weakest powers he uses it well. He could only use a certain amount until it runs out. So he likes to call it “Frostmist”, as it’s more of a cooling fog then a full-on ice breath. 
* Bioluminescent Blood: It might be pretty but touching it is the last thing you’ll want to do. His blood is toxic and will burn you in a matter of minutes.
*Halo Projection: Not much of a power but more of a skill he had learned to do. Occasionally Arcus could be seen with a halo of rainbow iridescent light around his head or talons. It projects light and nothing more.
==Backstory ==
=== Hatching - Early Dragonethood (0 - 3) ===
Hatching under a Solar Halo was never intentional, everything about his hatching festival was a mess in all honesty. The two parents had fought a few days back and wasn’t on good terms still, everything wasn’t prepared yet. The mother, a LeafWing named Brugmansia, caring more about the coming dragonet then her conflict with her husband, a HiveWing named Sawfly, attempted to get ready the day before the festival. 
On the day of the hatching festival, nothing was ready. It was a catastrophe, the decorations were barely hanging, the food was all carelessly made, and half the dragons invited never came. The two mates were congratulated, and the two were forced to put on a smile to hide their disagreement. The hatching itself wasn’t all bad, for what was planned to be hatched under the setting sun, it had hatched under a mid-day sun. Little did they know, the “normal” sun they all thought was surrounded by the rare-occasion Solar Halo. 
Seeing Arcus’s pale colors and sharp features, the Father immediately noticed the IceWing features. 
“You never told me that you had IceWing ancestry!” He had lashed, this was probably the first thing Arcus had seen when he had hatched. Two parents fighting.. two that were supposed to love him, care for him.. 
Now the other half was missing, just a lost puzzle piece both going their separate ways. 
Having a single mom trying to find her lost husband more then a job was something Arcus got used to. They traveled often, flying to Pyrrhia and back to Pantala in a matter of months. His mother loved him he knew that, but he knew that his Mother also loved his father. They moved more then five times before the age of 3. 
=== Mid Dragonethood - Teen (3 - 6) ===
He never went to school, or at least not for a very long time. Every time he got comfortable at a school and made some friends, his mother decided to move and search somewhere else. That was one thing he hated about his life, change. Scorpion Academy of the Dragontail Peninsula, Great Wasp University, Twilight Grove School for All, Jade Mountain Academy, you name it he been to it all. 
His favorite was back in Pantala, in Cicada’s School for Gardening. They had stayed there the longest, and he had hoped to stay there forever. Arcus had taken much interest in gardening after that, and continued to plant years after moving away from there. 
He was 5 when he met Marestail, a MudWing dragonet, in one of the Pyrrhian school he went to. Mares was relatable, she was a bit talkative, but nice to him. Of course he met nice dragons before, but he felt different when he was around her. She was special in his eyes. Arcus had begged his mom to stay a little longer which she agreed later on. But he was 5 when he discovered his other powers. 
Arcus always knew there was a part of him that was missing, a part that he couldn’t figure out. He didn’t know what exactly what it was, he just knew there was something he didn’t know about himself. Was it a ability? A skill? A dragon? He didn’t know, he didn’t think of it as much as he grew older. As he explained his concern to multiple dragons he trusted, his mom and Mares, they both had brushed it off, saying it’s nothing. Yet, the thought never left his mind though. 
It was still in Pyrrhia, him at the age 6 and Mares was 5. Both was madly in love with each other. Yet, he noticed his mom were getting restless from not finding his father. She would leave notes early in the morning to travel on her own before coming back the next night empty-handed. She obviously didn’t sleep, nor eat. She seem to be drifting away from Arcus as well, Brugmansia used to spent quality time with him frequently when he wasn’t in school, but now she ignored him and drowned herself with tons of maps of various places. No matter the times he warned her with his concern, she had ignored it all and continued searching. 
Then school ended, Arcus awaiting for the day where he and Mares could have a wonderful family together that he never had.. until she fell sick with the eggs. Attempting to use his medical records to use, he tried desperately to save her. Even going to the best doctors he could find, using all his scales. 
On a day when he was searching for a doctor, he fell upon a group of dragon-thieves who want his money. Arcus saying “no” led to a fight. It was unfair, 4 verses 1. But he was not about to quit to some criminals, yet he was injured greatly. Thinking it was the end, he had shut his eyes, bracing for the impact, wishing he had gotten that medicine at least. Though, the pain never came, neither did death, only a quick high-pitched scream rang through his ears. 
Confused, he opened his eyes, even more perplexed when a nearly blinding light covered the leaders eyes. The leader of the group was trying to scratch the stripe of light off his eyes, while the others shrieked next to him. Arcus, still on the floor with cuts, wondered in panic if this was his doing. Looking at his shaking talons, he attempted to take it off. Which to his surprise, it worked. The groups who assaulted him ran off with the leader grabbing at his eyes. 
After that “incident”, he learned about his Lumokinsis or the ability to manipulate light. 
=== Teen - Adult (6 - +) ===
Then Mares died, even before the eggs were laid. In this time of mourning, he returned to his mother. Only to find out she had fallen sickly from the stress. Hers wasn’t as bad as Mares, so he attended Medical School and used his knowledge to help her at least a bit. 
On one of the days his mother was certain she was going to die. He was informed by her one of the locations Arcus’s father had resided, she didn’t tell the address though. 
Yet eventually, Brugmansia did pass away. Her last wishes being to find her husband and his father. Now two of his most important people had left him because he had failed to save them, leaving him in despair. 
He finished early in Med School by 7, going to the Ice Kingdom to see if he had any living relatives there. There he met Frostburn, who wasn’t happy to see him at all. With his weird coloring and abilities she kicked him out again, cursing him because of his frostscales especially. 
Returning to his old home, he found out couldn’t afford to live there anymore. So he decided to be a traveler, since he used to move do much when he wad younger. 
Traveling led him to Possibility, where he talked to a psychologist named Mirage. Despite meeting a few hours before, they immediately became friends. He explained about his life, his interest for medicine and herbs, his dead mate and mother, and most importantly, his missing father who ran away because of a small fight. Then Arcus had apologized for ranting at her, someone who’s literally a stranger. 
Mirage ignored his apology and kept talking with him, asking how the father looked like and why he went missing. After answering every question and showing her a few pictures his mother had, the female doctor lit up with a answer to the question he had been trying to find his entire life. She knew who his father was. 
But like a sneaky, sly fox she is, she wouldn’t tell him anything. Then left him without a response. 
Frustrated, Arcus continued to walk through Possibility, accidentally bumping into an animus who said they would grant him anything with a price. Thinking back to his Grandmother, he asked the animus who get rid of his Frostscales, which they did gladly. The price was simple, just a few tens. Wishing he had heard the price first, he handed the pouch full of scales, the last of them. 
Before nightfall, he encountered Mirage again, saying how he quitted on life. Her, taking pity, invited him to come over to her home, where she was taken in as a orphan. 
“An orphanage? Aren’t I too old for that?” 
Arcus politely declined at first until she mentioned his father again. And then a deal was made, if he joined the orphanage he would get information about his father. He agreed immediately, how hard can being in a orphanage be anyways? 
The thing was.. the orphanage wasn’t a normal one. 
It was more like a organization, one across the continent. Apparently Mirage had to buy herbs and medicines herself too, and she explained how the “orphanage” worked. She also informed him about his father, his father had thought to return not much after he left, but was stopped by a member of another organization rivaling this orphanage, the dragon manipulated him with deceitful words. So Sawfly flew to Pyrrhia where he joined the establishment the other dragon was in. 
Arriving at the orphanage, he was questioned by the leader of the organization but eventually he was brought in with the skill of medicine. 
 
 
==Relationships ==
=== Brugmansia ===
very positive 
His mother was always caring for him when he was younger, one of his only friends. Even if they had to move every other day, Arcus loved his mother. Unfortunately, as he got older they grew apart. His mother would stay up late and leave their home to search for their long lost father. 
=== Sawfly ===
neutral - negative 
His father left him literally when he hatched, so he doesn’t remember much about him then how he looked like. He only knows him from through the stories his mother used to tell him, or the pictures she had. His feelings for him was always neutral, but it changed to negative when he found out he was involved with The Future. 
=== Marestail ===
very positive (past love interest) 
They met when he was five, might have been young and foolish back then but they loved each other. She was a MudWing who he met in school, and fallen in love with her almost immediately. He was devastated when she died with their eggs. 
=== Mirage ===
positive 
His friend, the one who introduced him to The House of The Exiled. Arcus is thankful for her and often talks with her a lot. They are coworkers as Medics/Doctors in The House. 
=== Evergreen ===
very positive (love interest)
Someone who he met on one of his missions, a LeafWing he found that he related with. They fell in love after a few encounters then had eggs together. 
=== Nexus ===
neutral - positive 
Arcus has high respect for Nexus, or “Father”. He was also grateful to her when she let him work in The House. They don’t interact much, but has mutual respect and understanding towards each other. She is glad he is there to help and heal the children of The House.
