**Arg0s** is a player character in Reflection. He is played by Jackson. Arg0s is the world's most preeminent gaming streamer. Following the establishment of FLOW's second Wave, he decided to join as a way to take his streaming career in a new and unprecedented direction, giving his viewers front-row seats to the action deep within The Coda.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Arg0s is an average-sized man with pale skin and purple hair with yellow highlights. He also has insect-like antennae. In his FLOW outfit, he wears a blue and white jacket with purple LEDs and the triangle patterns characteristic of Fuse City fashion. Underneath, he wears a high-collared blue shirt with a screen over his chest that displays stream donations. He also wears a yellow visor connected to headphones and a small microphone.

In his casual outfit, he has his hair down and replaces his visor with a pair of black glasses. He also removes his jacket.

### Personality

Arg0s is a friendly and soft-spoken person. He tends to speak quietly and with short sentences. He is very trusting and likes to see the best in people, even in imperfect circumstances. He is intensely loyal to those he cares about and will go to great lengths to ensure their safety and comfort, occasionally at risk to himself. He takes his failures very personally.

While he is comfortable streaming, he heavily dislikes being the subject of attention in a physical setting and is easily embarrassed. He often inserts gaming terminology into his everyday speech. In dangerous situations, Arg0s is skilled at remaining calm and focused. He is also incredibly perceptive.

## History

### Early Life

Arg0s was born in Fuse City after the arrival of the Coda, but before the Demonic incursion began in full. He rose to prominence in his young adulthood as a famous streamer on Island 7, a popular streaming platform. After OPIA began planning for the establishment of FLOW's second wave, Arg0s joined under the condition that he could livestream their missions, a prospect that GEIST happily agreed to. Arg0s spent a year in training at the FLOW training camp. In addition to this, he also spent an extensive amount of time training in VR simulations, becoming well acquainted with OPIA's various AI, specifically Mic, who would go on to become a moderator on his streams.

### Joining FLOW

The night before his official admission to FLOW, Arg0s transported the coffin containing Basilisk Id to OPIA HQ alongside Ace, Willow, Ridill, and Aura. After their van got stuck, he and Ridill struggled to push it out of the sand, requiring Ace and Willow's help. The next day, he was third in line during the procession of Wave Two recruits to OPIA, accompanied by Mic. Upon arriving in the Reflection hall, he considered many different Reflections, eventually settling on Singlehanded Savior at Ridill's recommendation. Soon after, Basil's coffin began to release a signal causing the nearby GEIST soldier to melt. Upon destroying it, Willow and Arg0s were transported to an ethereal train, where they came into contact with a mysterious man who gave them the impression of death. After realizing that remaining on the train was causing dangerous levels of Burn, Arg0s bound to Singlehanded Savior and used its abilities to find weak points in the train that allowed him and Willow to break a hole in it and escape.

After escaping from the train, Arg0s found himself alongside Willow, Ace, Basil, and Ridill somewhere in the Coda. After evading a horde of Demons, they arrived at the lynchpin keeping them bound to the Coda, but were attacked by Uno before they could sever the link. During the subsequent combat, Arg0s remained in the back lines, using his Reflection to snipe at Uno while healing his allies. After returning to Fuse City and finishing Uno off, Arg0s used Singlehanded Savior to produce a "healing pipe bomb" that fixed his injuries after he made impact with the ground.

#### Reflection Heist

The next day, Arg0s participated in a combat simulation with some other Wave Two recruits. After Basil broke the VR room, he got into an argument with Ace about how Ace wasn't acting in a way that was conducive to efficient teamwork. After Ace's interview with Number Five, he gets lunch with his coworkers and then heads to the Undercity to hunt down missing Reflections, which he streams. After scanning a few people with Singlehanded Savior, he meets with and scans Melli Luxity, discovering her to have a staggering ninety-eight Burn. Right after this, he is dragged into the Coda, manifesting on a beach alongside Ridill and Ace. Mic manages to keep the stream connected with her abilities. They explore the beach and catch up with Melli, Willow, and Basil. Arg0s helps Melli choose a Reflection to bind to. Arg0s participates in the team's plan to bind the massive Demon in the other version of the beach to the brighter, safer version. Before enacting the plan, he suddenly experiences a hallucination where a Demon of Instrumentality asks him to remain "possessed" so he can continue interacting with The Muse. Arg0s gives the Demon his email. Once the plan is set, Arg0s scans the Demon with his Reflection and realizes that the Demon isn't the one keeping them bound to the Coda.

Arg0s is then sent alongside Ace and Basil, and eventually Melli, to deal with the real lynchpin in the other beach. Arg0s spends most of the combat picking off the Idol Demon from afar and healing his allies. After killing the Idol and returning to Fuse City, Arg0s follows the still-conscious FLOW members around the GEIST district before being challenged to a race back to HQ, which he surprisingly manages to win. He then meets with the rest of FLOW and several OPIA members at Darkside.

#### Recuperation

The next day, Arg0s assists Ridill with medical examinations on Willow and Ace, using Singlehanded Savior to thoroughly inspect their injuries. Afterwards, he meets with Sophie in the garden, who expresses her desire to experiment with different identities, and asks if Arg0s wants to help her, which he agrees to. He is then called to restrain a civilian infected with Codan disease, and heads to the scene alongside Ace and Lugh in Ridill's van. After failing to physically restrain the target, Willow uses her other Reflection to imbue Arg0s with the strength of a version of him that chose to go to the gym more often, which allows Arg0s to disable the target before they are dragged into the Coda.

### Codan Counterattack

Some time later, Arg0s joins the rest of Wave Two in the OPIA saunas, where Ridill shows them the Flame of Creation. Soon after, Arg0s participates in communing with his Reflection. He attempts to commune with Singlehanded Savior, but his arm begins to burn with ESP, forcing Sophie to cut the communion short as Arg0s sees a vision of the man from Grasp the Earth's communion appear in the OPIA ESP lab. After the simulation ends, Arg0s attempts to manifest his ESP by shouting "ESP on!". This works, and Arg0s begins emanating massive amounts of Anima that begin sending OPIA's power network into overdrive. With Sophie's help, Arg0s is able to calm down and release his ESP, which Ridill dubs "Fractal Duality". He then heads to the Undercity to look for Circuit, but is forced to remain outside Colt's apartment where Circuit is staying, as Circuit does not want to look emotionally fragile in front of Mic. After recieving an alert of a possessed Colt entering a GEIST warehouse, Arg0s moves out with the rest of FLOW to rescue him.

As the agents of FLOW alongside Satyr approach the GEIST warehouse, Arg0s gets an email from the Muse, informing him that Colt, while claimed by the Court of Beasts, is currently captured by the Courts of Logic and Compulsion, who plan to use Colt as bait to ambush and kill FLOW before they get too powerful. She also warns Arg0s to get out of the way of a car driven by a possessed GEIST simulacrum heading straight for them. Arg0s uses a shotgun summoned from his Reflection to expertly pick off several more simulacrums as Satyr attempts to navigate the barricades the simulacrums have set up to prevent FLOW from reaching the warehouse. Upon sneaking into the warehouse itself, Arg0s manages to sneak attack a few more simulacrums. After Willow and Basil provoke Charybdis, Arg0s and Satyr attempt to hold him off, but Charybdis uses his ESP to escape them. Regrouping with the rest of his teammates, Arg0s heads to the center of the warehouse where Colt is, only to watch a large, statue-like Demon ambush them. He attempts to scan it, but is unable to get a read. However, he manages to push the demon back, but is unable to do much damage. He instead follows the rest of the group towards the entrance to back up Lugh and Lyst. Once there, the group is ambushed by yet another massive Demon, who Arg0s successfully scans and classifies as a powerful member of the Court of Logic. Soon after, Arg0s is dragged into Charybdis's Anima, where he assists his teammates in defeating and rescuing Charybdis from death. Returning to the real world and finding the conflict mostly resolved, Arg0s spends the rest of the night assisting Ridill with various medical procedures in the wake of the crisis.

The next day, Arg0s attends Ridill's lecture on Burn. After the lecture, he hands Mic his stream key for the day. He then helps Ridill with follow-up treatment for Colt and Charybdis. After that, he heads to the GEIST District with Sophie, who chooses the name "Simulcast" (Cast for short), and adopts they/them pronouns over the course of their date. Later in the day, he attends Cam's body coronaton.

### The Court of Death

During an interview/inspection by Number Five, Arg0s is dragged off by Ridill to deal with the possessed simulacrums that have invaded OPIA after Cam's Burn-heavy core crystal was uploaded to the network to charge. After entering the ESP wing, he notices Jasconius sneaking around in the westernmost area of the department. He chases him down, getting into a fight with him, but Jas is able to escape using his Reflection. Alongside some other FLOW personell, he manages to finally catch up to Jas, and manages to come to a somewhat amicable solution. Once the situation with the simulacrums is resolved, Arg0s goes to the Reflection hall to help Mic choose a Reflection. He supports her drive to become more self-sufficient and powerful on her own, which is the final push she needs to choose Hope's Cultivation Seed.

A few days later, Arg0s and Dr. Verona inspect the probes that GEIST asked them to install in the Coda. With the help of Ridill, Circuit, and Cursor, they manage to discover the probes' element-controlling properties and create a hidden backdoor within the probes' programming. Arg0s then enters the first layer of the Coda alongside Ace, Basil, Willow, Cam, Mic, and Aura. Soon after entering, he encounters several Demons, including a Junker and an unnamed Demon with incredible speed. He decides not to scan them to conserve his Burn. After placing several probes, Arg0s hears a voice and goes to inspect it, but is unable to see anyone in the darkness, and concludes that it's a Demon. After the appearance of the Hunter of Mortals, Arg0s makes the ill-advised decision to ask for his name, which he gleefully answers, dealing large levels of Burn to everyone nearby. Once the Hunter hijacks one of the probes to channel the Muse's song, Arg0s manages to remain standing. He is then left alone with his unconscious teammates as Willow faces the Hunter alone. Desperate, Arg0s calls out to the Muse to ask her for help. She possesses Mic's body and sings another song that does knock Arg0s unconscious. While hallucinating, he assumes the role of an artificial human aboard a space station, who looks out the window of their room to see a round world, something that is very much unfamiliar to Arg0s. This communion awakens a new power in Singlehanded Savior, unlocking the ability for Arg0s to summon an armory's worth floating weapons at once, which he uses to heal all of his allies to push back the Hunter of Mortals. Once the group escapes from the Coda, Arg0s ends stream after Willow announces the truth about her death and revival.

#### Calm Before The Storm

With the rest of Wave Two, Arg0s is called to Verona's office, where she gives them a day off to think about whether or not they want to continue working at FLOW. Arg0s heads to Darkside with Ridill, where they discuss the memory Arg0s saw in Singlehanded Savior. Ridill is interested in the memory, as Singlehanded Savior is a Reflection made from the memory of her losing her arm, and OPIA in general. She wonders what exactly the Demonic Courts wanted out of the memory Arg0s saw. They are then interrupted by the appearance of Sonnet, who informs Arg0s about the Muse's desire to speak with him once again, giving him an invitation before disappearing. Arg0s decides to go, which Ridill supports, eager to see if Arg0s can succeed in something new with regards to human-Demon relations. After assisting the rest of FLOW in resolving a traffic accident, Arg0s returns to Verona's office, where he announces his decision to remain at FLOW.

Some time later, Arg0s meets Ascalon in the OPIA gardens, where she explains how her own Duality ESP works. With her help, Arg0s is able to consolidate his ESP into a single half of his body, which allows him to wield two Reflections at once. Ascalon reccomends Arg0s wait a little longer before choosing two Reflections, however, as OPIA has recently collected a large amount of new ones they plan to use as leverage in the negotiations with GEIST. After some practice fighting, Arg0s leaves to pursue other plans. He heads to a bar in upper Fuse City, where Cal serves him a drink. He is then transported to an island on an ocean of ash, surrounded by old, broken constructs. He is greeted by the Muse, who messes up her initial appearance has to try again, alongside an alien creature who introduces himself as the Steward of the Stars. The Muse inquires as to whether or not Basil is being a "good human being" while the Steward serves tea. She takes off her mask to drink the tea, dealing a nearly catastrophic level of Burn to Arg0s if not for the intervention of Treble. The Steward also accidentally reveals her name, Fio, which has a similar reaction. After Treble releases Arg0s, they continue their discussion. Fio explains her goals as the Archdemon of Instrumentality, as well as the motivations of several other courts, warning against Logic, Death, and Compulsion, which are the most motivated to deal with OPIA as soon as possible. She also alludes to the existence of an entity higher than even the Archdemons. Fio then explains how she's always taken a distant role, never really interacting with the people of the various worlds the Coda comes into contact with, and she wants to actively contribute to the story of this world. They conclude the discussion agreeing that, even if their sides in the war are ultimately irreconcilable, they'd still like to be amicable with one another. Fio and the Steward then perform a Burn-reducing dance before the vision fades.

#### Catastrophe

The next day, Arg0s is briefed by Verona on the abysmal situation OPIA finds itself in after the disappearance of Basil and the loss of all contact with GEIST. Before heading out on an all-or-nothing mission to retrieve Basil as well as Ruth Galatine, Arg0s and Mic visit a secret storage room containing fifty new Reflections. Mic shows Arg0s her choice, Survivor of the Primeval Dark, and after some perusal, Arg0s decides on Fateweaver to be his second Reflection. Before leaving, Arg0s is approached by Cast in their new body, who gives him a kiss. Arg0s then heads out with the rest of FLOW to carry out the mission. After a series of incredibly dangerous last-ditch plans, Arg0s manages to make it to the second layer of the Coda alongside the rest of his team. He uses Singlehanded Savior to great effect in navigating the alien physics of the second layer, managing to quickly lead the team to a calm point in between two sub-layers. He speaks with Mic, who ensures him that she'll be safe alongside the supply team following behind the core team.

Around a day later, Arg0s arrives on the third layer of the Coda. He heads off with Aura, Mic, Twice, and Circuit. Mic and Aura split off from the team to plant a probe, while Arg0s and the rest of the team head off to Basil's last known location. Upon arriving, they encounter not Basil, but Vinter, the Archdemon of the Court of Death. After chasing them for a little while, he introduces himself properly, revealing his interest as to the extent of Arg0s's danger as an unforseen variable in the cycle, as well as Arg0s's intentions with Fio, his daughter. Trapping them in a wall of blue Flame, Vinter engages the group in combat, easily dispatching Circuit's fragile clone. He corners Arg0s and Twice in a nearby cabin, where Arg0s manages to, against all odds, fight him off. He is then empowered by one of Fio's songs, which allows him and Vinter to continue their fight on surprisingly even footing. Soon after, Arg0s and Twice are retrieved by Mic, now adorned with dragon wings from her Reflection, while Vinter is kept at bay by Stephano at the behest of Fio and the Queen of Flames.

#### The Last Stand

Arg0s ascends Mic's World Tree with the rest of the forward team, which greatly expedites their journey through the second layer of the Coda back to the surface. While ascending the tree, Arg0s goes ahead to scout out a safe path through a heavily covered area that might be populated with Demons. After charting a path, he encounters a projection of Fio, who asks him to retrieve her body from Jasconius's basement. Once the rest of the group catches up with him, Ace and Aura chastise Arg0s for being seduced by the "Demussy".

Upon returning to the surface, Verona reveals to Arg0s that his streaming the entire Codan operation has turned his channel into somewht of a major news source, with a horde of paparazzi attempting to get into Station One. After reconnecting with everyone else, Arg0s heads off with Verona and Mic to retrieve Fio's simulacrum. They arrive in the Undercity, where several blocks have been quarantined off by OPIA-sympathizing ESPers. With Verona's authority, they progress to Jas's apartment, where he thanks them for being cooperative and gives them a key and the code to open the simulacrum's birthing tube. They then enter Jas's apartment and make their way towards the room where Fio is being kept. Arg0s streams the entire process to lower his Burn, as Fio entering her simulacrum is creating waves of Burn. He manages to push forward and enter the chamber, taking a large amount of Burn and hallucinating a vision of Fio in the brass castle at the bottom of the Coda. He manages to break through to her and pull her into the surface world, reawakening in front of her tube and releasing her.

Alongside a now free Fio, Arg0s heads up to OPIA HQ, where he helps FLOW push back the Hunter of Mortals, who shatters the floor beneath them soon after he arrives. Kept aloft by fields of Fio and Treble's Anima, Arg0s joins his teammates in a final showdown against a transformed Hunter of Mortals. During the battle, he activates his ESP and binds to Fateweaver, using it to jump between floating platforms and save allies from attacks. Near the end of the fight, he uses Singlehanded Savior's ultimate ability to summon copies of everyone's weapons, which are used to finally kill the Hunter of Mortals.

### Epilogue

Months after the fight against the Court of Death, Arg0s visits Cialla alongside Ridill and Treble to see Fio, who has been catatonic ever since the end of the battle as the Demonic Courts attempt to replace her as Archdemon for her treasonous actions during the fight against Death. Arg0s promises to save Fio. Some time later, Arg0s is present for Ace's departure from FLOW. After that, he joins Ridill, Ruth, Willow, Basil, Melli, Colt, Mic, and Cam in pushing Ridill's van out of the desert, before hopping on the roof and heading back to Fuse City.

### Act Two

At some point during the three month quiet period following OPIA's destruction, Arg0s entered into an altercation with The Pristine One. Near the official induction of FLOW Wave Three, he began attempting to use Fateweaver to connect to Fio. The night before the induction, he succeeded, but ended up swapping minds with Fio. Alongside Stephano and Nectar, Arg0s in Fio's body met with the other Archdemons and the Queen of Flames for the Hunter of Mortals' funeral, where he learned about the Coda having a mole in OPIA in the form of the Golden Knight, as well as the Courts' plan to mobilize all of their forces to seize Fuse City within three hours. Following this, he attempted to sneak out of the meeting, but was approached by Isaac, who carried him to Fio's bed, where he managed to convince Isaac to tell him about the world before the Cycle. Nectar then took him to the Queen, who offered him both the opportunity to return to the surface or to stay in the Derelict and learn more about the Codan elite. He decided to return to the surface, where he rushed to regroup with the rest of FLOW and inform them about the imminent Demonic attack.

Hours later, Arg0s meets with Ridill to discuss OPIA's plan for the incoming invasion. He joins Ridill's "Team Water", which will act as the strategic core of the operation. After gathering the rest of the team, he heads to a neighborhood in upper Fuse City to prepare for the attack. While setting up probes, he gives the Gate of Gravity a brief motivational speech. Once the attack begins, Arg0s joins Team Water in assisting the Gate of Humanity against the courts of Death and Compulsion, using Singlehanded Savior to push away a large Compulsion Demon as well as pinpoint Elemental compositions for Echo Weapon usage. After Basil contracted multiple invasive Elements, Cam had Arg0s use Fateweaver to connect their Flames. The situation continued to worsen, so Arg0s attempted to activate the probes, but found them to be defunct as Isaac suddenly appeared and attacked the group. With Basil's intervention, Arg0s and Ridill were able to escape and attempt to restart the probes with their ESP, but their erratic mental states caused Arg0s to be dragged into Ridill's curse of oblivion and nearly had his identity erased, but Mic managed to wrench him out of it and allow him to restart the probes, turning the tide of the battle in FLOW's favor. Hours later, he joined Mic, Ridill, and Willow to check up on Ace.

After finding Ace, Arg0s joined Ridill, Treble, and Mic on a trip to the desert to see if Ridill's plan to lure out a suspected traitor was successful. While on the van ride there, Arg0s apologizes for his percieved incompetence and expresses his newfound unsureness of his capacity to lead. Treble denies this, telling him that that's actually more of a breach of the trust his colleagues placed in him than being forced to make a hard decision in a situation he had no control over. After checking up on Ridill's trap, Arg0s joins Ridill, Willow, and Mic in speaking with Ace in the hospital, where he expresses his gratitude but also his uncomfortableness with Ace's current condition. After Ridill mentions that Mic kissing Ace would probably be the best way to transfer Flame, he becomes suddenly defensive. He then joins a large amount of FLOW and OPIA personnel in the dorms as Ace looks for a roomate. At Ridill and Treble's request, he uses Fateweaver to spin damage resilient fabric for Ace's new outfit for the cost of putting his logo somewhere on the costume.

### Global Offensive

A few days later, Arg0s uses Fateweaver to swap bodies with Fio. After having tea with Stephano and Nectar, he explores the Court of Death's floor within the Derelict when he runs into Isaac, who asks him if he wants to "snoop around". The two travel to a tower on the outskirts of the Derelict, using Isaac's ESP to float over into a nearby vent, where they attempt to interfere with the creation of the new Stranger. Arg0s imbues the fetal Stranger with a sense of empathy and curiosity. After everyone else leaves the chamber, Laughter calls out Arg0s, who he doesn't know is possessing Fio until he tells him. Arg0s is shocked at discovering that Ace has become a Pyromancer. Laughter tells him not to tell everyone on the surface, as that will tip off the other Pyromancers that there's a mole in the Derelict. Arg0s tentatively agrees. Laughter then takes him to meet with the Queen, who tells him that if FLOW can fight off the incoming global invasion, she might be open to diplomatic talks. After returning to the surface, he attends picture day at OPIA, where he helps calm Mic down after her emotional distress led to a Reflection-induced transformation.

The next day, Arg0s informs FLOW about what he learned about the upcoming Demonic invasion, minus what Laughter told him to keep out. At the subsequent meeting, he advised that they should consider going to the Sylt Islands first, as he feels that civilians are in the most danger there. He then meets with his Gate to assess their capabilities. He tells them that they are all individually skilled, but need further training for crisis scenarios, so he has them undergo VR training. Before beginning the simulation, he has a conversation with Mic, where he consoles her and tells her that he didn't choose her as his partner because he wanted to "fix" her, but rather he saw himself reflected in her.

After the simulation concludes, Arg0s gives each of his pupils personalized advice based on their performance during the simulation. After Basil arrives and loudly proclaims her and Arg0s to be "dating", he frantically explains the situation to a confused and slightly upset Cam. Once Ruth helped resolve the situation, Arg0s and Cam acted as announcers for a game of virtual capture the flag. A few hours later, Arg0s deployed for Cialla. After arriving at an inn in a rural Ciallan village, he and Cast agreed to room together. While sleeping, he had a nightmare of a horde of Ridill bodies dragging him into the Lake of Oblivion. After waking up, his Reflection's feedback began to activate, turning portions of his body into a bio-mechanical simulacrum. Then he was suddenly bombarded with alerts of a massive attack by the Court of Compulsion. With his Reflection motivating him, Arg0s hopped right into strategizing.

Arg0s briefly inhabited Fio's body to speak to Nectar, where he learned about several powerful new Demons. After returning to the surface, he reorganized his strategy in the wake of Satyr's kidnapping to focus on crippling Compulsion's power base in Fuse City so it would be harder for Demons to get to the surface. While waiting for Helena to open the portal to the Ciallan border, Arg0s and his team were ambushed by Stephano. Arg0s fought Stephano away from Cast, but ended up entangled himself before being dragged through the portal by Willow. While the rest of his team escaped in a van, he continued to keep up with Stephano on foot. He briefly used Fateweaver on him and felt Stephano's complete lack of self-understanding. As he approached the border, a large Demon attempted to possess him. While he resisted possession, a simulacrum Compulsion had on the surface did learn about Fio. Upon escaping Cialla, Arg0s realized that his eyes had also become cybernetic as a result of Singlehanded Savior's Feedback. Once he returned to Fuse, Arg0s hunted down one of Compulsion's bodies and scanned it, learning a portion of her memories and the location of another body in the facility. After killing the body he scanned, he escaped the facility before it was dragged into the Coda.

Following the battle, Arg0s briefly slept, during which he had a vision of some kind of simulation in which he, Ace, and Willow fought against an unknown figure. Upon waking up, he was visited by Mic, who lied down in silence with him as they took in the emotions of the last battle. They were then taken by Ridill to meet with Helena's parents before deploying to Cialla. After a brief run-in with the police, the team finally returned to Cialla to help refugees. During this, Arg0s expressed his feelings of inadequacy as a strategist and fear of holding the weight of human lives in his hands, but Ridill and Ace helped him work through a part of that guilt. He then followed Ace to an aqueduct near a Ciallan village, where he revealed his dreams about Seagazer and explored the ruins of the Flame of Creation's previous home. After eating lunch, he met with Basil to go on their "date". While walking through the Ciallan countryside, Basil reveals to Arg0s that she met with Logic during the mission. Some time later, the pair join Cast, Ruth, and Mic in visiting Cam's tower. Before Cam arrives, Cast checks up on Arg0s privately, where he speaks about his insecurities about his role as a tactician. He also tells Cast he loves them, which embarasses them. Some time later, after recieving news about Basil's sneaking out to turn herself in to the Pyromancers, he stays behind at Cam's tower and encounters Mic, who is in distress about the nature of her Muse abilities and helps comfort her.

## Abilities

Arg0s is notable for his near-superhuman reaction speed and high willpower. In accordance with modern FLOW requirements, he possesses rudimentary physical fitness training and general higher education. His partnership with Mic also gives him increased accuracy and access to her own information gathering abilities.

Arg0s is somewhat Burn resistant.

### Reflections

Arg0s wields the Reflection "Singlehanded Savior", an artificial Reflection forged from the story of OPIA itself. It manifests as a glove that grants Arg0s large amounts of information about everything he looks at, such as levels of integrity, levels of Burn, and weak points. It also lets him summon weapons made of hard light that can both deal damage and "cut away damage", which will heal wounds.

After unlocking a deep-seated memory hidden within Singlehanded Savior, Arg0s is able to push his Reflection to its limits and summon an armory's worth of floating hardlight weapons, which he can use to deal large amounts of damage or healing at once.

Due to his ESP, Arg0s is able to wield two Reflections. His secondary Reflection is "Fateweaver: A Golden End Spun From An Eternity of Tragedy". This Reflection is quite multifaceted. Its primary ability is to control magical strings that can be used as extremely sharp cutting implements. The strings can also be woven into armor with strength rivaling a Reflection. By touching another person, the wielder of Fateweaver can also share thoughts and feelings back and forth with that person. Arg0s primarily uses the strings to move quickly across the environment by attaching the strings to nearby objects and swinging across. Fateweaver's strings are capable of interfacing with various properties of Flame if used creatively.

### ESP

Due to his life circumstances mixed with Singlehanded Savior's high Anima stat, Arg0s has become an exceptionally powerful ESPer. His ESP is called "Fractal Duality" by OPIA, which draws its power from Arg0s's tendency to shield himself in his streamer persona in order to deal with uncomfortable situations. This mixes with Ridill Arondite's philosophy of a "fractal universe" to create an Anima based around the idea that people interact with other people in a web of many branching personas.

In terms of practical applications, when Arg0s activates his ESP, he is enveloped in a shroud of energy that gives him power equivalent to a Master-level ESPer. However, as Arg0s still does not have the level of control of a Master level ESPer, the power will slowly diminish over time until it disappears. While Arg0s is in this heightened state, he can channel his ESP into isolated sections of his body, which grants the different sections different properties. He mostly uses this to wield multiple Reflections at once, but he has also been shown to have some telekinesis and electrokinesis. The connection between the latter two abilities and Fractal Duality's worldview is still unexplored.
