Artema the Invincible

**Artema**, also known as **Artema the Invincible**, is a human Demigod and a descendant of **Aurelius the God of Weather and Crops**. He is known for his incredible strength which can rival that of the Gods, as well as his fortitude against pain.

Artema routinely travels across Terazan, defending the realm of men from the enemies of the people and the unholy Datherial spawn that dare wander from the **Unknown West**.

## History

It is believed that his mother was a priestess at the Temple of Aurelius who begged the God for a child as she could not fall pregnant herself.  Bemused by this request, Aurelius accepted and a golden ray struck her from the skies, impregnating her immediately.

When he was born, Artema’s demigod powers were realised almost immediately as he managed to lift his mother clean off of the floor by her index finger. Adamant to keep him safe, his mother attempted to conceal his powers but unfortunately his secret was exposed after an accident at the temple. The other priests believed that he was a Datheria spawn, not believing the mother’s claims about being a gift from Aurelius. One of the head priests threw Artema from the top of the Mt. Aurem, believing to have resulted in his death. In a panic, Artema’s mother ran down the mountain, travelling non-stop for seventeen days before finding her baby boy at the bottom of a path. She was both shocked and relieved when she had found that Artema had landed without a single scratch, which revealed his superhuman resistance and invincibility to damage. After this event, they fled Mt. Aurem and lived in a humble abode not too far from Lakeview Inn.

For the duration of his early adulthood, Artema lived searching for a purpose and looking for answers regarding his abilities. His mother, now sadly passed away, had instructed him to go out and be the hero he had destined to be, which he took as a personal goal: to become a true hero amongst the living.

Artema spends his time travelling the land of Terazan, seeking his destiny and helping locals in any way he can with all manners of problems; big or small.

## Personality & Traits

Artema is typically very jovial in every conversation he has, largely because not much worries or concerns him due to his immense strength. Unfortunately this overconfidence can sometimes be his undoing, as he tends to let powerful enemies live for far longer than they should in hopes that he can get an incredible challenge out of them.

For the most part though, Artema is a hero amongst men who is always willing to help. He interacts with everyone as if he knows them, and does not intend any harm.

## Powers & Abilities

#### **Invincibility**

* Artema is invincible and cannot be killed regular combat. Though he can be damaged and knocked unconscious, he cannot die from blunt force impact or other body-breaking forces. After a few moments to regain his bearings, Artema regularly stands back up and carries on the fight.

#### **Artema Smash**
