Arevik Haber

Arevik Haber was a member of the North Sea Raiders, and prior to his defection, the unofficial inheritor of Vander's fleet. Orphaned due to the Kepia-Fikiri conflict, he was rescued from death by the previous first mate Roxanne Boristov, and grew up abroad Hawking’s ship, The Elbereth.

Raised in a relatively loving environment, Arevik grew up with a strong sense of injustice in regards to how The North Sea Raiders were treated by the general public. He eventually learned of how Hawking founded his fleet, and developed an intense dislike for the nation of Kepia, though his more aggressive ideas were often kept in check by his father, who still viewed Kepia to be his home in many ways.

After the battle of Hakobyan's Gulf and Roxanne's subsequent execution, Arevik’s anger grew into a desire for revenge, and he gradually began to distance himself from Hawking, eventually leading to a split in the fleet. As of current, Hawking’s remaining supporters consist mainly of the original members who defected from the Kepian navy, where as Arevik’s power base comes from newer recruits who joined in during the height of the group’s power.

## History

Arevik is a Kepian who was born in the Sea of Lilies. As a baby, his home village ended up being artillery bombed into nothing by the Kepian navy, which at the time was still being led by Hawking Vander. Horrified at what he had done, Hawking adopted Arevik into his fleet and deserted Kepia, thus creating the North Sea Raiders. Currently, Arevik remains as the only individual to have grown up entirely within the North Sea Raiders.

Having shared a very close relation with his adopted father Vander as well as the numerous other fleet members, Arevik was instilled with a strong love and pride towards the North Sea Raiders, as well as a strong dislike towards the nation of Kepia. These feelings only intensified when his gift at artillery got him promoted to a high ranking officer, and he eventually started to display a strong hatred towards Kepia after the Battle of Hakobyan's Gulf.

Arevik also started to grow disillusioned with the power held by the North Sea Raiders as their influence started to fall. In addition, his relation with Vander became very strained, as Vander did not want to continue actively perusing conflict against Kepia. This ultimately led to Arevik leaving the North Sea Raiders and starting his own faction, known as New Kepia, which he plans to lead into war against Kepia.

## Personality

### Tactician

As the adopted son of Hawking Vander, Arevik grew up being tutored in the art of battle tactics. Although not quite as competent compared to Hawking, he can definitely hold his own as a leader. In addition, due to the large diversity of Vander's fleet, Arevik has been introduced to a large variety of tactics and battle philosophies from across the world, making him very flexible in his approach to various situations.

### Slovenly

Hawking was always criticized for his lack of hygiene and decorum. Unfortunately, to Roxanne's evident and often vocal expressions of distress, Arevik took to this trait like a fish to water. Like his father, he often needs to be actively reminded to clean himself, and he never actually learned how to eat with utensils.

## Abilities and Powers

Arevik learned how to fight as a child from an ex member of the Tor family. Because of this, he incorporates traditional Tor style totems into his fighting style, but is not absolutely reliant upon them.

Arevik uses spears as totem mediums, and will carry multiple into battle. When these spears are stuck into the ground, they become totems, which can have a variety of effects.
