Arthur Davies

Arthur Anthony Davies is the twenty-eight year old Greek demigod son of Aphrodite and Robert Davies and the twin brother of Alicia Davies. He founded the Great House Davies. He is one of the major POV characters in the War of the Gods books. He is the current husband of Grace Evans and Lightning Counsellor. Before returning to the godly world, Arthur was the owner and manager of Olympia, a nightclub based in New York City.
==History==
===Early Life===
Arthur Anthony Davies was born on the 4th May 2003, to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of Love and Beauty, and Robert Davies, a mortal electrician from England and legacy of Zeus. He was named after the legendary King of the Britons, as a nod to his kingly blood.
Arthur remembers almost nothing about his mother, the only things being a warm glow and a kiss on the forehead.
===Childhood===
Due to Arthur being a legacy of two of the Big Three and Ares, Arthur was always the strongest child his age, rivalling kids years his elder. Growing up knowing he was different yet not knowing why was a challenge for the boy.
Being in a big city helped Arthur get away more and more as he often went on adventures with his friends to different parts of London to hang out or have different experiences, all of them getting him into trouble. Not everything Arthur did was bad though as he began reading at night, mostly J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. This sparked his interest in fantasy as a whole, the beginning of a longing for adventure and magic.
===Teen Years===
Due to his love for fantasy books, Arthur took an interest in archery and sword fighting in his early teens, taking classes for both to have something more to do after school instead of getting into trouble. He became excellent at both, going to tournaments and championships, winning trophy after trophy. It all came crashing down when his half-sister was born. Both Arthur and Alicia's after school activities were stopped and their father and step-mother often tried to force them to help look after the baby which both always refused.
After the birth of his half sister, Arthur's behaviour got worse as he began appearing in the wrong crowds. He joined a group of lads who would deal all sorts in the area, and after trying to have Arthur sell and watching someone get their jaw punched off by him for lying to him, they made him an enforcer of sorts. Arthur was often sent to different houses to collect owed money or to just sort someone out for a varying number of things. Half the time the issue was solved with violence, the other half Arthur was somehow able to talk them into co-operating.
===Claiming ===
Arthur's claiming was a very tame one, often called boring by Arthur himself. After comforting another student in the NCA, Aphrodite decided that was the best moment to show the boy who his mother was. Enveloped in a thick pink haze, Arthur emerges wearing a completely black suit, his hair and face perfect, no spots or blemishes. Even the small scar above his right eyebrow had vanished. Some who heard the tale later believe it was the perfect moment for Arthur to be claimed as he was showing the immense compassion he attempts to hide, rather than making a joke or ignoring the issue entirely.

===Butcher's Return===
Arthur is a 22 year old man who has been running the nightclub Olympia since the age of 18. As the manager and owner, he lives in the penthouse above the club whilst living a mortal life, something he had been thankful for since he left the demigod city of New Corinth.
During a dream, Arthur learns his father was captured. Upon waking up, Arthur begins packing for the journey home when his girlfriend, Grace Evans and friend Soren Withers entered the penthouse and do not allow him to go alone, telling the son of Aphrodite they will be joining him. Travelling across England, stealing boats and destroying different towns and cities while being attacked, the trio finally made it to St Michael's Mount where the kidnapper was waiting.
After his quest to rescue his father, Arthur defends New Corinth from a siege. With his best friend by his side they fight back the attack together. With Arthur wearing the helm of his ancestors and Soren with his bow, the fields outside of the city was renamed to Dor-Cúarthol, Sindarin for "Land of Bow and Helm".
===Book 2===
Set one month after the first book, the council election is well underway due to many of the previous members being badly injured or killed during the siege. The injured members stepped down to heal and allow others with stronger wills built for war to take over and help defend their home. Many people stepped up to be considered for the Lightning Counsellor position, with Arthur's name being thrown in by the son of Heracles, Thomas Knight. At first Arthur was furious, not wanting the responsibility of being a leader of the city and desiring to return to his nightclub.
===Book 3===
== Personality==
Arthur is a chill guy who enjoys nerdy things like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Unlike his siblings he doesn’t enjoy fashion and looks, but is very flirty, sometimes too flirty. He’s a caring person who will ramble if not stopped and will protect those he is close to with his life. Outwardly he is confident in his abilities and doesn’t let things get to him, though in the privacy of his own mind, Arthur is constantly unsure of his actions and wonders why he is thrust into the spotlight more so than others. Arthur can be very unpredictable, he lets his emotions rule his actions, especially around those he cares about which get him into a lot of trouble. He is sometimes called annoying with how he acts, which he doesn’t care about. As long as he’s not hurting anyone, his fun is all that matters. He is noble and generous, ready in mind and quick to anger and laughter.
===Fatal Flaw===
Arthur's fatal flaw is low self-esteem. He hardly feels worthy enough for anything he receives and believes everything he does is not enough. 
===Fears===
==Appearance==
Arthur may be a child of Aphrodite, but he has no fashion sense, usually going for short windswept style hair and the same clothes everyday. He has his father’s stunning blue eyes and the blonde hair from the form his mother took when with his father. He has a toned body from his hobbies. He isn’t an extremely muscular guy but they are there and can be seen nicely. Arthur has a small scar above his right eye that he got from his time friendly fighting with friends in his childhood, some may have seen that as a bad thing, Arthur loves it and thinks it makes him look cooler. Throughout his time in New Corinth, Arthur has acquired many scars. There are scars from lightning and hellhounds, from boiling blood and from his very own sword before he acquired it. As the Lightning Counsellor, Arthur wears a simple circlet of silver, set with big square-cut moonstone gems.
==Abilities and Tools==
<tabber>
|-|General Abilities=
*Superhuman Strength: Due to being a demigod and legacy of Zeus, Arthur is just as strong as a child of Zeus. This is far stronger than a regular mortal and demigod. When he owned and used Thorn with his shield, Arthur wass between Demi-Titans and Big Three Demigods in strength, this however was taken away when the flaming sword was broken and the War Shield does not add much to his strength and so he is as strong as the children of Zeus
*Superhuman Speed:
*Superhuman Reflexes:
*Superhuman Endurance:
*Superhuman Durability:
*The Old Ways: All Greek demigods and immortals are able to speak and read Ancient Greek.
*ADHD: Arthur is ADHD, some say this is his body always being prepared for battle, though he disagrees.
*Swordsmanship: Due to having telumkinesis, and being a legacy of both Ares and Athena, Arthur has a natural understanding of swords, which combined with his affinity for swords in particular, causes him to be one of the best swordsman of his era.
*Polearmsmanship: Just like his swordsmanship, due to his powerset and ancestors, Arthur has a natural understanding of spears.
*Archery: As a legacy of Apollo, Arthur is a natural archer, keeping up with the likes of the children of Apollo. Arthur uses this inherent skill during his time as the Archer and whenever he actually needed to use a bow.

*Bravery:
*Willpower: Arthur is shown to have great willpower.

|-|Demigod Abilities=
Primaries:
*Fashionista:
*Telumkinesis: Being a son of Aphrodite Areia, Arthur has 
*Atmokinesis: Due to being in possession of Ouranos' Spear, Arthur is granted sky based abilities, though they are dependent on his weapon being in his possession, even if it's sheathed or in belt form. These abilities are boosted by his being a legacy of Zeus however.
**Aerokinesis:
**Electrokinesis: 
Secondaries:
*The White Tree: Arthur is capable of summoning a massive apple tree with vibrant golden apples adorning its branches and bark white as pure snow. This heals the moderate injuries of those within the confines of the trees roots, that being 25 feet. Arthur can also manipulate the roots and other aspects of his tree.
*Love Bomb: Arthur is capable of turning his passions into concussive blasts of energy, the blasts growing more powerful when those that he cares about are around. He can also use this energy to create simplistic constructs, however these constructs are incredibly fragile.
*What's Mine is Yours: Arthur can target up to 6 allies and have them share the damage he takes, splitting it between them instead of it all going towards himself.
*Now You See Me: Arthur gains the ability to manipulate the battlefield to a minor degree. Turning to his allies, he is capable of creating a tether to 2 of his allies upon touch or thought, that allows him to recall his allies back to his side. They can go up to 60ft away.
Passives:
*Beauty: Aphrodite kids are far more attractive than normal demigods, so much so that opponents and others might fall into a quick daze as they stare at how pretty they are. 
*Language of Love: Just like all children of Aphrodite, Arthur is able to speak all romance languages, even if they aren't commonly used.
*Eye of the Beholder: Arthur is able to change his facial features slightly. This extends to his eye shape and colour, lips, nose, cheekbones, ears, chin and hair colour, length and thickness.
*Good looking: All children of Aphrodite have a natural affinity for fashion, though Arthur hardly uses it, and can pull off any sort of look they want.
*Prince of Olympus: Due to Zeus being his ancestor, Arthur has several sky based abilities granted to him. Arthur is naturally more resistant to electricity to the point he can take a lightning bolt and be fine. He is also stronger when up in the air, and minor injuries can be healed when made contact with electricity. Arthur also gives off an aura of royalty, with this people tend to listen to him and take orders from him. With his great-grandfather being the god of Judges he can generally tell when people are lying, though not specifically how or what about.
|-|Magical Abilities=
*Blessing of Hephaestus: When Arthur went on a quest for the blacksmith god, Hephaestus granted him the ability to forge like his children, meaning he is one of the best blacksmiths in the city.
*Mist Control (limited):
|-|Magical Items=
*Dawn: A sword made of Adamantine, a metal usually mixed with Imperial Gold. This sword however is pure adamantine forged by the Elder Cyclopes. It was also the legendary sword Excalibur before it was returned to the lady of the lake.
**Enchanted Scabbard: A black leather scabbard with silver symbols running down its length. At the very top is a dove, below that is a wolf head and below that is a shield. Pressing the dove will turn the scabbard into a black leather belt to blend in with the mortal world. The wolf holds Arthur's axe made of silver, made only to kill Lycaon and his brood. The shield contains the Pelian Spear, weapon of Achilles. In either form, it can only be taken off by its wearer, or if the wearer permits.
**Ouranos' Spear: The spear of Ouranos was collected by Arthur during a quest he gave himself. Being a primordial weapon, it has the power to kill gods, though it can only be wielded by the strongest willed demigods. He commissioned Hephaestus to forge it into his sword Dawn which becomes Arthur's symbol of power. The spear also grants him sky based abilities that are boosted by his connection to Zeus.
*War Shield: After Arthur went on a quest for Enyo and he arrived back to Lion's Den, a simple wristband lay upon his bed. When Arthur put it on, the shield folded out of it. It is enchanted to buff battle prowess and strength to a moderate degree as well as being able to take hits better than regular shields. Arthur later finds out that the shield gifted to him by Enyo is the shield of Achilles in a different form.
*Heartstring: Specially made for his time out of New Corinth, Arthur uses it during his war with New Rome. Made by both Aiden Estrada and Thomas Knight, the bow can transform into a ring at will as to make transportation easier.
*Thorn: A celestial bronze sword that has a minor flame enchantment. It's heat is always on and when the blade is not in use, it should be wrapped and secured in its sheath. It was taken by Arthur as a spoil of war during his fight with a tricky woman. To stop the blade from igniting, it first must be doused with Styx water, though this only lasts for thirty minutes or so. The sword also enhances physical strength to a minor degree. It was destroyed during his fight with the Mysterious Woman.
*Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin: The helm of Artos Davies. With it, the Butcher gained a fierce reputation. Due to that, the helm will cause opponents to tremble in fear, with some unable to fight the feeling of running away and fleeing before Arthur. It also has the ability to protect the wearer from any harm or wound, major or minor. Taken as a spoil of war by Arthur when he defeated the Butcher.
*Enchanted Armour Set: Given to Arthur as a quest reward by Ares, it is made of Celestial Bronze and enchanted to be as light as clothing. Arthur customised it by adding clothing to be manipulated and to make it look like a Captain Britain suit, which goes perfectly with his shield. After visiting New Asgard it is also now enchanted to boost Arthur's combat prowess and agility to a major degree. Getting tired of the superhero look, Arthur wills it to resemble a more normal style, turning the fabric covering the metal into a cape.
*Endless Backpack: After finishing a quest for the goddess Athena, Arthur, along with his two companions, were given what seemed like an ordinary backpack, though it was soon discovered that they each had an endless storage.
* St George's Cross Pendant:

He would've counted himself lucky by being able to walk in and walk out of a monster run business but after hearing they eat the dogs, he assembled The Roses and raided the place.

As Aragorn was dying upon the ground, slowly being dragged back into the rift, Arthur picked up the crown that had fallen from the king's head and placed it upon his own brow, leaving the sword Andúril to leave with it's wielder, though he vowed to take that too if Aragorn were to ever return.
