Reconciling with Jackie, finding a place to live after being kicked out of the SubwaysPortrait:
Apperance:
Landon Liboiron
Human Form: About 5'8'' with dark brown hair and gray eyes.Personality:
Monster Form: Dragon surrounded by black mist. Long fangs and razor sharp claws. Pearl white eyes which pierce through the mist. About 7' on all four legs. 10' on hind legs.
It is unknown what Arcane looks like under the mist. He checked, once, and has since blocked the memory from his mind. All he knows is to never look, again.
He could probably be diagnosed with split-personality disorder. He has a different personality with nearly everyone he meets, though he has full control over each personality trait.History:
Sometimes, he's a jerk and a ruthless killer. To others, he's a kind demigod or a charming mortal.
In reality, he is kind and understanding and largely confused about his identity. He knows who and what he is but not who and what he wants to be.
Views demigods as every monster's archenemy, so to speak. He hates them with a fiery passion. However, mortals he sees more as chickens. You butcher and eat them only as a food source, not for the rush of killing them. He's been cutting back on mortal meat.
Born in the Roman Empire to a mortal woman and the dragon Ladon, who was fleeing the Greeks, Arcane stayed in Rome, hating the Greeks, after his father returned home.Family:
His mother believed she'd be bearing the child of a fine young man who seduced her. Instead, she gave birth to a monster, quite literally. When she let out a scream filled with shock an horror, it startled the young Arcane so much he devoured her, unaware his older brother stood as a witness to this which would spark hatred between them.
He did so before he received any name from his mother and his father was nowhere near, so he went without a name. He lived on his own since birth, scavenging and killing the weak, first, and oftentimes resorting to rats and deer. This was fairly easy as he could control his black mist from the moment he was born. By utilizing this mist, he could effectively conceal himself from sight.
From listening to speech patterns, he learned to fluently speak Latin by age 120, when he adopted the name Arcane - a Latin word meaning ominous, which described both him and his powers, perfectly.
He eventually learned to utilize his mortal form and found his hunting niche in deceit. He would befriend a mortal or, if lucky, demigod and seclude them from the rest of the world, often managing multiple lives at once. Once his prey was cut off from any potential witness, he would transform into a dragon and engulf the poor victim. This is the time period in which he created his name Carter Velius.
He began traveling once he reached about 300 years, growing bored of Italy and the fallen empire of Rome. He found himself in Persia, and came into contact with a rather powerful demigod from the area. Finding he needed a weapon to protect himself from harm while masquerading as a mortal.
After a long, difficult battle, Arcane came out victorious and stole the weapon the demigod was using - a celestial bronze scimitar with very high quality. Though he's only gotten it sharpened and polished twice, since, it is still a very sleek, sharp blade with a gem-like shine.
He was killed by a demigod, after some time, and reborn into America early on in the godly relocation to America. Since then, he's been waiting for any chance to come about to attack the Greeks at Camp Half-Blood. He'd occasionally attacked, but was repelled by the boundary (and he was in his monster form so the demigods don't know who he is when he looks mortal).
He decided to settle in the Subway systems in New York City, luring mortals into the darkness to be devoured as a snack, on occasion. He had been living in the Subways years before the Subway was adopted as a training ground for monsters, though he had no hand in the creation of the training grounds.
Now, he's begun to go soft. While he still hates demigods with a passion, he treats mortals as potential friends.
Pheoniceous's girlfriend/wife/female partner/whatever is named Palmaria. The way Arcane sees it, Palmaria blindly loves Pheoniceous but Pheoniceous exploits this, sending her to do whatever he has to do but doesn't want to do - his dirty work! Arcane hates them, both.
His brother, Pheoniceous, was raised by Ladon. He is the only sibling is father had ever looked after for an extended period of time. (He also has a sister near Niagara Falls who feeds on weak mortals.)
Pheo witnessed Arcane kill their mother and has hated him ever since. However, Arcane was completely unaware of Pheo's existence until he encountered him in Persia around the same time he obtained his scimitar. Though he did not make contact, he knew Pheo to be at least a half-brother because of their resemblance of powers.
Only later did he learn Pheo had been raised by Ladon - their father - while he was abandoned and uncared for. With the knowledge that his father had chosen someone over him, he grew to despise his brother. Only later did he find they were in fact full-blooded siblings and Pheo had been born in his mortal form, not scaring Vita.
Arcane also dislikes Palmaria - Pheo's girlfriend. He knows Pheo doesn't truly have any feelings for her but she is blinded by love and will do all his dirty work without a second thought or moment's hesitation.
Arcane has gone by many names. Thus, he is widely known throughout the demigod world as separate monsters, as no one as of yet has made the connection between the seemingly separate false identities as him.
Mother: Vita - Around 1680, though she died at about 23 - deceased - Arcane ate her before she could give him a nameLikes/Dislikes:
Father: Ladon - Age Unknown - Guardian of the Hesperides
Brother: Pheoniceous - Age Unknown - Tormenting Arcane and Jackie - has girlfriend named Palmaria; more powerful than Arcane; daddy's favorite
Likes: Darkness, mortals, leading a mortal life, Jackie, secretsPowers/Flaws/Gifts:
Dislikes: Greeks, demigods, Other monsters who have no mortal sense to them, being a monster (secretly), Camp Half-Blood, Pheoniceous & Palmaria
Powers: Has a mortal and a dragon form. He can control a dark mist in both forms, which results in him being mistaken as a demigod, often times. When in mortal form, he often goes by the mortal name Carter Velius.How I Arrived to Camp/School/Subway:
Flaws: He is too mortal. He shows sympathy to many people he can relate to. This makes getting people alone rather difficult as he has to get them to trust him first, meaning socializing. This means talking, thus making them relatable.
He is unable to talk while in his monster form. He is also, unlike Leon, unable to partially transform from human to mortal and vice versa. It's always a complete transformation.
Gifts: Adept swordsman in mortal form. Has mastered the control of the mist around him to the point where he can make a shimmering black cloud with small stars (holes in the cloud) above him - the symbol of Nyx. This is used for him to be taken as the demigod son of Nyx, which helps him get close to demigods, though he still cannot enter the camp because of its magical boundaries, unless invited in.
He also is known to pose as the son of Erebus (god of darkness). This way, it makes lying a little easier as he can truthfully say his mother is dead and he hasn't talked to his father in a long time without it contradicting his lineage.
Settled in the subways before the Subways were used as a training ground. Heard about the training grounds and went there.How Long Have You Been RPing?:
Now lives in an abandoned apartment complex technically owned by a friend, though he's been a pile of dust for a few years and hasn't yet reformed.
Due to 'errors' in the city's paperwork, the building does not officially exist. Thus, its inhabitants can tap into the water and electricity grids without payment, nor pay taxes.
