**Ari** is your local demon + beginner necromancer. Is very active on Discord nowadays, but only brave enough to text in one server. Namely, this one.

## Profile

Ari is a chimera, a demon created from multiple other demons. While he only has one mind, his other parts disturb him sometimes. He is also apparently part fish, and will not die when put into a jar of water and shaken. He is an orphan, and has no last name. He likes wandering around and getting lost in his own mind. He has insecurities and has difficulty making friends, so he tends to drown himself in scrolls and books of fiction. He is also very forgetful and has a swiss cheese brain, so please forgive him if he forgets your name for the fifth time.

Ari can draw, and is in an art school. He also can write, but refuses to tell anyone where. Has been attempting to learn necromancy to revive Ao. Will do anything for money. Please commission him.

Will resort to violence even when not needed. Heed this warning. He is very jumpy, and will also react with violence, so try not to creep up on him.

Ari also has a child named Aro, who is a potato. The other parent is Ao, who is also a potato. Ari is slowly losing his sanity.

## Appearance

He has been told he looks emo a lot. As well as a anime character. Maybe they're interconnected.

Ari has mid-length black hair, common within his hometown and current area, and has very odd shaped glasses. He has droopy eyes and black pupils. His hair is commonly tied in a low half bun or a high half ponytail, but will sometimes not tie his hair at all. He also has mis-matched horns, and they strain his neck quite a lot. His wings are mostly decorative, because despite having a slim build, he is very heavy.

Ari is commonly seen in a mash up of traditional clothes, wearing a green two-piece kimono and a dark blue hakama. He wears a red cape over his clothes, not because he's cold but just because he can. A yellow clasp holds it together. He also has earrings on both ears, and plans to get another piercing soon. He wears traditional geta because with his claws he quite literally cannot wear anything else. His tail can stab people but it strains his muscles so he usually leaves it hanging. All of his clothes are custom made to accommodate his wings.

## Skills and Abilities

### Authority

None. No one respects him, and he's too much of a coward to do anything but follow. But when given the opportunity to lead, he will thrive.

### Fighting Prowess

Ari is proficient in one martial art, which also happens to have no directly offensive moves. He has a brown belt in Aikido, and is trained in both hand-to-hand combat as well as weaponry. While using hand to hand, he cannot directly attack first since he was not trained to, and his punches are weak. However, once someone attacks him, they're as good as done. He can use the momentum and force of his opponent to either break their joints or slam them on the ground. His regular muscle strength is also quite strong, though sometimes he doesn't know how to use his muscles. (Cue not being able to do a sit up while having a lot of core muscles from doing planks.) He is also sometimes unable to control his strength, which leads him to grab people's hands a bit too rough.

While using weapons, (a katana/bokken, a staff, and a dagger) he is able to attack properly. While he has somewhat mastered all of them, his favourite is the sword. He is trained to kill using weapons, so do be careful. Not that he remembers those particular techniques.

Due to being overly cocky and insecure at the same time, Ari is semi-confident he can beat most Tokyo Revengers characters, or at least give them a lot of trouble. However, while Ari is known for flipping 100kg men at his dojo, heavyweights like Mucho and Mochi will require weapons in order not to be squashed flat in record time. Ari can probably beat Sanzu in terms of swordsmanship, since that boy only seems to know how to slash diagonally. In fact, Ari has learnt techniques that are specifically for hand to hand against a sword, so Sanzu should't be much of a challenge.

### Endurance

Ari has quite a bit of endurance, and can take punches and hits well (he was once told he had 'iron skin', whatever that was supposed to mean). However, while he is physically strong, he has rheumatism, a coldness in the joints and bones that causes him to have constant lower back pain despite being very young. (At his age, he *shouldn't* have rheumatism, but here he is.) He can randomly walk around and one of his joints will crack, hurt, and then crack again. While fighting and doing menial chores, he is able to pull a muscle/dislocate something, so sometimes he will randomly run away from fights. Ari also has a form of anemia where he has not enough red blood cells and they are shaped weirdly, which causes him to be out of breath sometimes, and unable to sprint. A lifetime of exercising helped him build up stamina to overcome that slightly. His own weakness is himself.

### Charisma

Zero charisma. He has difficulty making friends. People have to approach him in order for him to make friends. Ari is the type of person to be alone, and not by choice.

### Intuition

Ari has a lack of common sense. He is naive to the world, having lived under a rock most of his life. He can't tell when someone intends to harm him until they throw a punch.

### Arts

Ari is actually quite proficient in the terms of arts. He can play the violin, does ballroom and latin american dance competitively, and taught himself how to draw (well, until he got admitted into an art school). He can also write stories (fanfiction), but will never ever tell anyone his username or the website he writes on. If anyone goes through his things, he *will* kill them.

### Creation

Ari has too much creativity. He can sit for hours on end making up fantasy world and characters, or maybe oc inserts in his favorite manga. Secretly, he currently has 20 fic ideas in his drafts, and would like to find some time to finish or start them. Sometimes, he will forget to eat and sleep. This is a cry for help.

### Languages

While Ari has only fully mastered english, he knows conversational chinese (mandarin and hokkien) and knows enough japanese to read manga.

### Random knowledge

Due to being an avid consumer of books and other media, Ari is a word bank that will sometimes spout random facts that have no co-relation to the ongoing conversation. Also very good at fiddling with technology and somehow making it work. Has limited knowledge on programming. Can tell when its going to rain.
