Arkakas Rosorem

*Codename: The Stranger*

Arkakas Rosorem is a member of Defiance and working for the school of the Blood as a Silver Rank Slayer. He joined near the end of the Dark Ages within the guild with his older Sister Sacria. He is considered a stranger to School of the Blood as he doesn't like fighting and also doesn't go on many contracts, perhaps this is due to the fact he is still haunted about his sister's death.

## Description

Arkakas is a relatively short red skinned tiefling. He has black eyes and long wavy black hair parted to the left side. His horns are similar to devil horns and have are black in coloration. He wears a custom made military jacket similar to that of beginning soldiers for Blood Oath with the jacket being yellow and brown in coloration. He wears a necklace with a gold circle in the center. His most notable feature is that he has several black scars on his neck that somewhat looks like Talons.

## Personality

Back during the Dark Ages of the guild when Arkakas entered along with his sister he was very optimistic and outgoing. He was considered the odd man out or the stranger as he didn't like fighting long battles or have a thrill for battle instead, he liked the shorter fights as well as getting information and tricking those with illusions. He used to enjoy the killing part rather than the fighting part as he viewed it as a performance. Everything up to the killing was a performance to him typically using what is viewed as cowardly tactics by the school of the blood.

More towards the end of the Dark Ages and the beginning of a new era since Guild Master Kannon stepped in he became nothing more than just an emotionless empty husk of a person. Occasionally muttering to himself in an unfamiliar language. He started to avoid all of the members of the School of the Blood and is considered the lone wolf of the school. Many consider it a strange occurrence if he speaks to another person as he hasn't spoken to someone else in about 3 years.

## Abilities

Arkakas is not a very powerful member on his own and if it weren't for his lone wolf attitude he could have blossomed to be a great fighter within the School of the Blood. He is useless alone however would be a great asset should he be with another Slaying party as he used to have a way with words helping those get information and he is able to use magic to confuse his enemies as well as harm them mentally. He shines more from behind the scenes of a fight. Many suggests he should just become an Angler due to his skills being more towards assassinations and information gathering and his skills being more potent to people rather than monsters, however he is set on the path of being a Slayer rather than hunting others down. Arkakas hasn't really been out of the guild since he passed the "Slayer's Embrace" and hasn't taken contracts since making him more of a burden of the school rather than a warrior.

## Background

Arkakas Rosorem was a child soldier and fought for Blood Oath when he was around 8 years old alongside his sister Sacria. He was more of a guard or a foot soldier staying out of the major areas of combat while he worked for them while his sister did almost all of the fighting on the front lines. Arkakas had a little incident when he hit the age of 15 that involved him killing a few innocents and making a performance. Record shows that it was extreme stress that wasn't taken cared of however Arkakas himself claims that he heard his sisters voice telling him to kill those people. Before his execution his sister broke him out and ran away with him to eventually join the guild known as Defiance. The two joined The School of the Blood as since they were both soldiers that were more comfortable with killing. Their relationship as brother and sister improved over the few years as they worked together during training and going on small contracts just for experience however that all changed during graduation of the training officially becoming a member of the school of the Blood. The two were forced to partake in the test known as "Slayers Embrace" or what is commonly referred to by others that have passed this test, known as "The Bloody Bonds." A test that rips away the one you treasure most as only one can survive. Ever since he passed he has never been the same since as he became emotionless, and started to avoid those he thought were comrades, eventually no longer speaking to anyone and never going on contracts. Many can hear his screams at night due the the various nightmare he has of the experience. He was left alone in an unforgiving world...
