Arvik Rebane

**Prince Arvik Rebane** is an Alopex Prince from House Rebane. He is the twin brother of Princess Freyja Rebane. He is one of the sole heirs to the Rebane Bloodline. Prince Arvik serves as the conflicted hero of the Alopex Expanse in the Etherium Forces Lore, often facing decisions that are between personal goals and that of the Expanse.

## History

### Early Life

Prince Arvik Rebane was born along with his sister, Princess Freyja Rebane at 24 BTP to House Rebane on Niflheim. Due to his high birth, Arvik was able to attend a great education and because of his noble heritage hailing from House Rebane, was forced into a strict training program that forged his excellent martial and combat skills. All throughout his childhood he was instilled with a harsh code of discipline, duty, and honour - key values of the Rebane Family as well as the common xenophobic hatred of the Alopex towards their Procyon oppressors. Being a male descendant of House Rebane, he was immediately pushed into joining the ranks of the Procyon military - a common practice by all male members of the Seven Alopex Noble Houses. Prince Arvik would begin his career as a Midshipman in the Procyon Stellar Navy, however due to his excellent skill and prior training would quickly rise through the ranks. By the age of twenty-five, he would become a Captain in the Stellar Navy. As a "Prince of the Alopex" and Captain in the Stellar Navy, Arvik was known to be a chivalrous, adventurous individual, often doing unorthodox tactics that are beyond the ordinary.

### Battle at Procyon

During the events of Treasure Planet:Battle at Procyon, Prince Arvik plays a major role in the Alopex Revolution. Being a Captain in the Stellar Navy, Prince Arvik was in command of a ship, the PSR Borealis when the Treaty of Parliament was signed. Sensing opportunity and hearing of the revolution in Calatia, Arvik knew it was time to strike. Prince Arvik led a mutiny aboard the PSR Borealis which overthrew all non-Alopex crew, and started a chain of Alopex mutinies through the Procyon military as officers and enlisted personnel broke their shackles to head home to Niflheim. The successful defection of the Alopex forces from the Procyon military allowed the Alopex Revolution to be successful in its fight for independence from the hated Procyons.

### Present

As of the present, Prince Arvik Rebane commands the "ASR Song of Niflheim", a diplomatic ship while on diplomatic missions for the Alopex Expanse. As a Prince of the Alopex, he is a possible candidate to be elected for the position of Alopex Emperor/Empress should he be chosen by the Seven Alopex Noble Houses. Currently, Prince Arvik's tasks have been establishing diplomatic relations with foreign powers such as the Terran Empire - a historical enemy of the hated Procyon Expanse, and to gain prestige as well as respect for the Alopex Expanse abroad. Occasionally there would be conflict with pirates that foolishly attempt to attack his ship - all of which have so far, ended in misery for the blackguards.

## Personality

Prince Arvik Rebane is a chivalrous, adventurous, unorthodox, gentleman who seeks to escape the strict conforms of Alopex society that he has been born into. Due to his strict upbringing, he is bored with his status and thus seeks adventure and the fun of exploration, including the company of others to escape the rigid structure of nobility. An unusual trait of Prince Arvik is that he does not share the xenophobia present in the rest of his species. Although there is a natural distrust of Procyons and their associated races, he is neutral towards other races - this is considered a warm reception when compared to the ordinary Alopex. It should also be noted that Prince Arvik is a romantic - much to the annoyance of his sister.
