Arceus

**Arceus** was the Player of the Season, Fan Favorite, and Villain of the Season in Mythvivor: Takachiho. He was also sometimes referred to as "Archie" during his season, particularly by Dennis who he won the Best Duo Award with.

## Takachiho

Arceus began Mythvivor: Takachiho on the Amaterasu tribe. There, he found himself as part of the majority alliance along with Anna and Tommy. He also formed a close bond with Dennis, and Dennis began to talk to him about his search for the immunity idol. When the tribe attended tribal council, he helped push the vote onto Camazotz instead of Dennis in the well-known 10-minute tribal council on Amaterasu.

Arceus would then swap onto the Tanuki tribe where he would also bond with Ocean. While there, he would attend the Boat Tour's Sunk tribal council after losing the challenge on the Teshio boat, where he would vote out Nat. When Tanuki went to tribal council following the Boat Tour, he and Dennis both received votes. However, he would vote out Marcus with Dennis, Ocean, and Maggi.

At merge, Arceus joined in on the initial Devin vote. However, in "Secret Special Blindside Recipe," Arceus found himself left out of the Maggi vote by most people due to people suspecting they were too close. Thankfully, his close ally, Ocean, let him in on it so he wasn't too surprised. After Sophie quit the game, Arceus was left behind as a huge target on the bottom.

Arceus had such a strong bond with Ocean that, in "I Am Entirely Ratphobic", when hope was looking lost, Ocean gave him his immunity idol with the instructions to idol out Tommy. Arceus took full advantage of the opportunity. Instead of following Ocean's plan, Arceus made the Best Move of the season: he brought in his close ally, Dennis, to idol out Ocean's close ally, Norah with him instead of Tommy.

Following this, he was able to recover in his relationships and continue to survive. He was part of the plan to vote out Jay following Touchy Subjects, which was only thwarted by Ocean giving Jay immunity. At the final 5, Arceus was able to flip Mitch to join him in voting against Jay, and came very close to flipping Ocean as well, despite Arceus's betrayal of Ocean earlier in the merge.

Arceus came very close to winning the Final Immunity Challenge, the Trivia Gauntlet. With every player only getting 2 juror quotes correct, the challenge came down to the tiebreaker. The challenge came down to the wire, but ultimately, he lost to Jay. Jay chose to vote out Arceus due to his strong game and higher threat level with the jury.

At Final Tribal Council, Arceus strongly considered voting for Jay. However, when he asked Ocean to guess a number and Ocean did correctly, he switched his vote to Ocean instead. Arceus won Fan Favorite along with Ocean as well as Player of the Season for his strong gameplay. He also won Villain of the Season for his villainous gameplay and Best Move for idoling out Norah instead of Tommy with Ocean's idol. He also won Best Duo with Dennis and Best Rivalry with his season-long rival that he fought it out with all the way until the end of the Final Immunity Challenge, Jay.
