Physical Description: The sun's bright light streamed through the dome, falling upon a figure of impressive height. His hand instinctively raised in defense, to deflect some of the intense rays. It was useless, however, he could feel beads of sweat form on his forehead. Sometimes he wished he was so small, that he could duck off into some small hole. But being six foot even, didn't allow for such royalties. It was a bit ironic actually, he was just thinking he was looking a little pale. Though, after another examination of his tan, bronzed skin he thought different. Plus the heat had sort of changed his mind and his short silver hair was doing nothing to absorb it. How people with long hair managed to survive, he didn't know. He liked his short, neat, and styled, just enough to give the ladies something to fiddle with and a clean chin as not to obscure his charming smile. Speaking of women, they were quite impressed with his new physique. Newly formed muscles and washboard abs, he looked like a Greek god... and with that thought, he had conned himself into another evening of tanning.
Personality Description: "He's a cocky little son-of-a-bitch, ain't he?"
That is often the first words out of someone's mouth after getting their first impression of Artemis. Cocky, arrogant, foolhardy, daring, and impulsive; basically, Artemis is your average young man. In today's time, is that really so bad though? With so much doom and gloom in there world today, it’s a nice change of pace to see someone so happy. He's loud and makes sure everyone is aware of his presence. You may call him stubborn, ignorant, brash, and reckless, but you got to respect him. Give him a job and he'll see through to the end. As one of the youngest team leaders in the League of Origins, he has had to prove himself time after time. Without fail, he has left his competition in the dust and his opponent’s foot in their mouth. He is all battle and trash talking though, all bullshit aside, Artemis takes his job very seriously. If he does not win, then his people will starve, literally.

Primary Weapon
Weapon Name: Danmaku (Bullet Curtain)
Weapon Type: Heavy Machine Gun
Attachments: Automated Targeting, Laser Sighting, Ventilation System
Ammo Type: Standard Bullet
Clip Size: 100 Rounds
Spare Ammo: Metal Block
Description/Info: Danmaku isn't your standard heavy machine gun, it has been modified to fit Artemis' needs. For one, the version Artemis uses is part of a combat armor, shoulder mounted artillery system. It uses automated targeting with infrared laser sightings, and a ventilation system to aid in keeping the gun from overheating. Also installed is a particle accelerator. The gun can be fired manually while mounted on his shoulder with a drop down handle and trigger. But, he commonly uses the automatic firing system. This works with the help of brain implant. Danmaku works on mental command and can only fire at what is in Artemis' field of vision. The gun is feed ammo through block shaving that supplies Artemis with a nearly limitless amount of ammunition. The gun's main purpose is not offensive fire however, its purpose is to lay suppressive fire and keep the target at bay. While it can riddle the enemy with bullets, it is not accurate. To be more precise, the targeting system is dead on, but the gun sprays bullets in the general direction of the target.
Secondary Weapon
Weapon Name: The Hammer
Weapon Type: Hand Cannon
Attachments: Laser Sighting, Grenade Launcher
Ammo Type: Stun Bullet
Clip Size: 20 Rounds
Spare Ammo: 4x Clips & 2 Grenades (Not counting clip & grenade already inserted. Two clips are stun and the other two are regular.)
Description/Info: The Hammer is much larger than your average handgun and could really be called a hand-cannon. The bullets are designed to slam into the target and knock them down if not stop them in their tracks. Combined with the effect of the stun bullets, they pack quite a punch. Because of this, they have spawn the phrase "Time to put em to bed." or other similar saying which is often used by Artemis when using the weapon. Unlike like Artemis' other projectile weapon, this one is more accurate as it has traded speed for accuracy. It is also has a laser sightings, except the laser is only visible to Artemis eyes or other equipment that posse the same vision technology.
Melee Weapon
Weapon Name: Heavens Warden
Weapon Type: Sword
Material: Carbon-Reinforced Alloy
Separate Length: 3 ft / 2 ft
Separate Weight: 3 lbs / 2.5 lbs
Known Combinations:
- Great Sword
- Dual Bladed Spear
- Long Sword
Weapon Description/Info: Heaven's Warden is a unique sword, because it can become multiple bladed weapons. The sword is top of line technology, able to become one when brought together and become an entirely different weapon. Once combined, it is much stronger and able to cut through denser materials and thicker armor. When separate, the two aren't as strong, but faster and in the right hands can tear an enemy down. Ironically, they looks they two simple blades, one is even shorter than the other. Artemis is aware of all its potential forms, but has only been seen using one, which is the image on the side.

- Light Metals
- Enhanced Jumping
- Low Light Sighting
- Built-in Weapon Holster
Defensive Capabilities:
- Counter-Weight Balance
- Extremely Durable
- Great Protection
Description/Info: The Angel King armor is custom made and designed especially for Artemis. Originally drawn up for his father to use, but since he never got the chance to wear or even create it, the idea was stored. But, once he got news of his son's latest endeavor, he began work on this masterpiece. Once finished, it was presented to Artemis whom was baffled by such an astonishing work of art. Ever since, he dons the armor proudly for every battle and skirmish. Its primary component is adamant, a strong and durable metal. The metal was used to furnish grieves, knee guards, pelvis guard, chest plate, gauntlets, mantle, and helmet. Even his mother contributed to the armor by knitting him a long scarf like muffler and the other textile materials. The mantle scarf is symbolic of the Red Lancers and covers his neck and shoulders. Bonus features of the armor are the many built in holsters for his weapons and equipment. It even has a stabilizer that makes the giant gun on his back seem weightless. The grieves have mini-jets in them that fire in short bursts, granting him a quick speed boost or extra height when jumping. They also have a hover feature, which puts him a few feet off the ground. The armor was named Angel King after his father's favorite League Competitor from when he was a kid.
Note: The armor looks like the armor in the picture at the very top, in color and shape. But, posses the mask, chest plate, and scarf from the picture on the side, in the same design but color from the picture at the very type. As for the characters regular clothes, he wears what is shown in the top, minus the armor and weapons.EquipmentName: ARCH-Flight
