## Personality

Arthur is a shrewd and cold kid. He analyses what is in front of him and makes his decisions quickly, but not rashly. He is also unflinching in these decisions, but always remembers to reevaluate if new information arises. He was was sometimes called a robot by his paternal figure. He doesn’t kill for fun like many other assassin types, his teacher tried to instil in him that killing is either the job or necessary evil, but since it is something he is no stranger to it he is maybe a little quick to consider it necessary. Arthur is currently at a crossroads; he is searching for his purpose. He will be influenced heavily by the events to come.

## Backstory

Arthur was an orphan in a far of place south of yorknew, or so he was told. He spent most of his life that he can remember in a northern secluded island of Jappon with his master and father figure Hanzo Samekage. Hanzo trained Arthur from a young age to protect himself and also subjected him to many of the same pain resistance, and poison immunity treatment he was subjected to while training. The difference was Hanzo was much older when these events happened to him. These trainings changed the young boys development; the only childlike thing he engaged in was fishing for fun. He was mostly a weapon by the time he hit 10. He had all the knowledge needed to be an assassin and the necessary training to start, so Hanzo started taking him on simple and low paying missions. Killing a man at 11 cemented Arthur’s future as an assassin. This continued on for 3 years.

One day, when arthur was 14, Hanzo left on a mission alone. This was standard, and Arthur knew to wait for him for one week. A week past and Hanzo did not return. Arthur knew what this meant but it didn’t sink in until he read the scroll Hanzo left for him. I revealed many things like: him where he came from, that Hanzo was a hunter, and where to go to find answers. It ended in a heartwarming apology for training him so hard, and for not being able to be there for him as long as he would have liked. This started a slight change in Arthur, and he wasn’t sure what it was he felt. He decided to follow the scrolls instructions and seek out the hunter exams to find more answers and direction. Leaving his now empty home behind.
