âPhysical Descriptionâ
It is undeniable that Arik has a mysterious and beautiful air around him, seeming as if he was a perfectly crafted sculpture or a magnificently painted living portrait. He's quite tall, standing at five feet, eleven inches, and is only a little underweight. His long hair, the color of pitch black just like his eyes, cascades all the way down to his feet and is so wispy that it often gets into his face and eyes, which leads him to complain and threaten to give himself a haircut, though he would never have the guts. In addition, two curved horns come out of the side of his head, two small antlers coming out of the top of his head with a single horn which sticks out in between the two antlers, along with that he has ears which remind others of a deer, and he also has two large feathery black wings which protrude straight from his back. The rest of Arik is covered in fabric so misty that it appears to be entirely stitched of shadows. He really does seem to love the color black, though that's not so strange, since everything on him is the color of complete darkness. The only thing about him that isn't black is his snow-white skin.
In his Human form he is a tall and slender individual. Arik still has long hair that is tied into a pony tail down to the middle of his back. His hair is a dull black in color and is wavy. The hair on the front of his head also covers the right half of his face. He harbors eyes that are an amber like color, which remind others of brightly shining stars. In this form he is always seen wearing a black baggy long sleeved shirt, and pants with white and black stripes.
â"Yes...I am a foolish King. I am an Idiot who holds on to the past; blinded by love that no longer exists. Maybe I will have to live like this for the rest of my days, maybe I am cursed for all eternity as a pitiful man. But...are you too not blinded? I mean why else would you continue to follow such a hopeless King?"â
âPotential Interestâ
No matter how many women he meets, even the ones who truly love him, he doesn't return the same feelings. He is still in love with a woman by the name of Karehe, who was the first woman he has ever loved in his entire existence. But during her transformation into a female Dokkalfar, her body rejected Arik's blood and she died. So to this day, Arik is waiting for her return, kidnapping Human Females, in hope that one of them will be his beloved Karehe.
âSkillsâ
- âĻ Enhanced Physical & Mental Skills || Arik is both mental and physical stronger than others, as he has trained himself to be this way. Causing his agility and brain capacity to work ten times faster and ten times harder than others. This skill can be applied to everyday life or emergancies where is requires him to be extra sensitive. Either way when it comes down to it, Arik is extremely confident when it comes to these skills.
âĻ Superb Swordsmanship || As a King, there has been many of times where he has been attacked, rather by his own people, by Humans, or wild animals. So due to this he had become attached to fighting with his sword, and it has now became his second line of defense, next to hand to hand combat. It use to be first, but due to Kraehe's death, he just doesn't have the heart to draw it. Reasons why are unknown.
âĻ Excellent Hand to Hand Combatant || This is Arik's number one line of defense. If he can't do anything he can fight with his hands. He usual spars with Asmund whenever he gets the chance as he enjoys close range combat. He is so good at it, that he can fight a person who is holding a sword and still win. Though over all he tries to avoid any form of violence and usually stays out of conflicts so he doesn't have to resort to fighting with his hands.
âAbilitiesâ
Shadow Manipulation
- â Weapon Creation || By using the shadows of other objects or people, Arik is able to create various weapons for his disposal. He can cause them to take form and hold a solid shape, while still presenting their beautiful black coloring. This power comes in handy, but it does has its limits. Arik can only take the shadow of someone or something he can touch, so if you are out of reach your shadow is useless to him.
â Teleportation || Either using his own shadow or others he is able to teleport from one place to another by "walking" through shadows. No matter how far the destination is or how short, as long as he has a shadow close by him he can go anywhere.
â Wings || Arik uses his shadow manipulation ability to create a pair of pitch black colored wings on his back by combining shadows with his hair. It has been noted that his wings are extremely durable, being able to shield\lift falling boulders or sharp glass shards.They are unbelievably fast to the point it is on rival with his teleportation abilities. Also his wings are unexpectedly light, as once a person touched them and noticed that they held no weight to them and were as light as a feather.
Telepathy
- â Cloaking || By using his telepathy powers he is able to cloak his presence from someones senses, by taping into their minds and causing them to pay no attention to him. He can do this with other places, things, and people too. But since it takes up to much energy he rarely uses this ability unless absolutely necessary.
â Mind Talking || Arik is able to talk to others through his mind.
â Mental Projection || This ability allows Arik to reply his memories as if they were real. It is kind of like illusions, but the difference is that the vision one is seeing is a true event and you are unable to interfere with the course of the memory. He can project his memory in a small area or a large area.
Energy Manipulation
- â Energy Draining || Arik can drain a person's or animal's energy causing them to become extremely sluggish and soon to weak to even stay awake, usually falling asleep if power is used enough. He must have some kind of contact with the user.
â Energy Transferal || If desired Arik can transfer his own energy into another person, causing them to heal or gain strength. There has only been one time Arik has ever had to use this ability.
â Energy Increase || It is close to Energy Transferal, but instead of giving, he is increasing a person's energy level. This to requires touch, and has only been used once.

âOther:â
Any other important information
âHabitsâ
- â Smiling || This is both a conscious and unconscious habit as Arik has done this so many times it has become natural. Rather his smile is genuine or fake it doesn't matter he will always smile at others. People usually get annoyed and irritated because he is always smiling. There has only been four people in his life that have seen him without a smile.
â Teasing || Arik has a bad habit of teasing others, which he finds enjoyable. Once he finds that you are embarrassed about something or if he sees you blushing he will take that little thing and escalate it. It has gotten to the point that he sometimes teases others without realizing.
â Staring off into space || Arik has a bad habit of staring off into space when others speak to him. He doesn't do this on purpose nor does he mean to be rude, but his mind is still clouded with thoughts of Kraehe, and so she is all he can concentrate on.
âLikesâ
- âĨ Kraehe || Kraehe is all that Arik can think about, dream about, and speak about. She is his world and will forever be his world. After her death Arik refused to believe she was gone, and now he devotes himself to finding her, even if that leads to his own destruction.
âĨ Kraehe's Music Box || A beautiful hand sculpted and handpainted music box with jewels adorning the base. It can only be opened with a special necklace which Arik wears around his neck at all times. When opened a crowned emperor swan is hand-painted under glass inside the lid and two people start twirling as a beautiful melody plays. Arik keeps the music box hidden away somewhere so that no one can touch it.
âĨ Annoying Others || You could call this cruel, but it is the truth. Arik finds enjoyment in railing people up. He can't help but laugh at the expressions on their faces, when they get annoyed.
âDislikesâ
- â Disrespect || If you want to get on Arik's bad side, I dare you to show him disrespect. He believes this is the rudest thing anyone could every do. I just doesn't tolerate those who can't show respect when it is deserved.
â People touching Kraehe's Music Box || There has been some events where some of Arik's fellow people or even some brides have touched Kraehe's music box, and they all ended up with the same fate. Either they were severally hurt or they are know dead.
â Talking about Kraehe's Death || This is a forbidden topic, and everyone knows this. No one is allowed to speak of Kraehe's death in front of Arik.
âStrengthsâ
- âĒ Annoying Others || This is his greatest strength, as he is the best at it. This comes second nature to Arik, to the point he is able to just flash a smile and people will get annoyed at him.
âĒ Power Control || He may not have the best control over his emotions, but when it comes to his powers he is well trained.
âĒ Mental & Physical Strength || Once again this has become second nature to Arik, as he uses these skills before anything else.
âWeaknessesâ
- â Kraehe's Music Box || This is probably something that one could use to their advantage, as Arik would give his life so that the music box would be safe.
â His Love for Kraehe || Because of his love for Kraehe anything that involves her becomes something that he will do without thinking first.
â His Emotions || So Arik isn't the most controlled person ever. He has a temper just like everyone else and tends to put his emotions before his thoughts if it involves the people he loves.
â"There is light which reflects a shadow, but there are a few shadows...that light do not assist in their creation."â
âPersonalityâ
Sarcastic | Intelligent | Flirtatiously Teasing | Mischievous
One should be careful when approaching Arik, not just because he is a King, but also cause of his...unpredictable personality. Many of times his sanity has come into question when looked upon. He is unnervingly sarcastic as every other word out of his mouth is a cynical comment. But unlike the usual sarcastic tendencies one sees in a person, Arik is different. His misleading words are more cheerful and teasing than anything else, always holding a hint of cheerfulness despite the choice of words.
Going along with his sarcastic attitude, Arik is flirtatiously teasing as he will attack anyone and everyone with sweet or embarrassing words, just to receive a reaction out of them. At times he will sneak up behind someone and surprise them with a hug or a kiss on the cheek, usually followed by a kick to the face. This has become such a habit that it doesn't matter if it is in front of others who respect or admire him, as he gives little thought and will continue acting like a young man flirting with others left and right. This shows how rarely serious he is, and it is true. He just doesn't think there is a reason for him to show any seriousness in life, especially after Kraehe died.
The master mind behind his flirtatiously teasing traits, is his mischievous tendencies. Arik is without a single doubt the most mischievous person you will ever meet. He will always have a plot waiting for you around the corner so be careful. This causes others to work extra hard to keep him in check as he acts like a child, when he feels as if he must pull some kind of prank. It usually comes done to the point that he gets scolded by Caerin for his stupidity or Asmund for being to annoying, though it is hinted that Arik tries to avoid doing anything in front of them so he doesn't get in trouble.
But unexpectedly above all else Arik is one of the most intelligent individuals you will ever meet. He is like a living dictionary, saying words and comments which one would never expect from one who was just acting like a young child a few seconds ago. Well, don't be so surprised. How do you think he became King? Though it doesn't look like it, he can come up with wonderful and complicated excuses and plans. But with intelligence comes the responsibility of using it only when necessary, and of course Arik doesn't. After Kraehe's death he know uses his mind to search for every singe possibility of her whereabouts. You could call this a waste of talent, but Arik calls this a man trying to find his other half.
âOver and Over again I reply the events that unfolded before and during your death; over and over again I wish I had done something to stop every single mistake I had made. I know that this wish is something one just can't possible have, but I still wish for it. The guilt and frustration is eating me alive, as I can't help blame myself for your death.â
âHistoryâ
Arik didn't understand what was going on. He couldn't move nor could he take his eyes off the creature in front of him. She was a simple Human, but she held beauty that no other Human had. Arik has never felt this way in his entire existence. And without a second thought he chose her as his Bride-to-Be, Kraehe Trinyx. Though unbeknownst to Arik he had just made the worst decision of his life.
Though a vision of both wonder and beauty, she was wilder than any animal. Her light emerald eyes glowed with anger and spite, as the hint of jade which accompanied it began to darken. Her movements were quick and elegant to the point, if it wasn't for his hyper sensitive sense he would surely be a goner. Without a second thought the lovely maiden took a sword from one of the guards and attacked Arik, with cold blood. Dodging the cruel beauty, a small scratch formed on his flawless skin, which quickly disappeared thanks to his healing abilities. His three closest guards and friends Caerin Eider, {Name}, and Asmund Ragnvald didn't take any time to point there swords at her throat. Arik just stood there as they bound her in place with the threatening appearance of their blades. But even then she wasn't shaken, her eyes just burnt with even more fury. A golden voice escaped the lips of the woman, as she protested against this whole thing. Saying she would rather die know to marry someone like him.
It was those very words that made Arik's composure crack, and he than broke out in a wonderful laugh. His fake smile grew brighter and displayed the joy which was evident on his pale face. He couldn't help but feel the utmost joy in her presence, in that very instant he had fallen in love with the ruthless maiden, Kraehe. Of course it wasn't easy spending time with his feisty soon to be bride. As the same amount of times she had attempted to kill him, that was how many times she would try to escape. Arik had never used his energy draining powers so many times as he did on that young assassin. Though something in him couldn't stay away from her, and day upon day he would happily attack her with hugs and kisses, which ended in him receiving numerous bruises and painful elbow jabs. But slowly he could see the small changing of color in her cheeks, from a luminous ivory to a lightly shaded pink hue. So he continued until he started to notice progress, on how she would only lightly jab him away, or instead of kicking him she would just blush quietly and wriggle free. Arik couldn't help, but contain a smile when she was around her felt so light, and as if he no longer had a worry in the world. The soothing sound of her voice was all he needed to keep sane.
As the days turned to months, Arik could see her heart open towards him. He especially noticed one day when him and Kraehe were sitting under their tree, which was located in a special forest area which Kraehe had discovered from her numerous escapes. It was when Kraehe was singing to Arik her beautiful song, when she decided to tell Arik about her most precious item, which she had sneaked inside the kingdom. It was a small round music box, which played the same wondrous melody that Kraehe would sing to him. It could only be opened with a special necklace that sparkled as bright as the stars. At that moment Arik's heart was once again captured by her mesmerizing eyes and hypnotizing smile as she looked at the music box. He fell asleep listening to her voice as she would sing along with the tune of the music box. Numerous times they would spend there days together under that tree, in there special garden which only they knew of.
But of course nothing is forever and there is always something around the corner. Arik started to take notice in one of his friend's actions Asmund, when around Kraehe. He could feel anger burn in him as he couldn't help but become protective of the one he loved. It was then he confronted Asmund, which turned into an ugly fight between the two. If it wasn't for Kraehe's separating the two, and Caerin's harsh but truthful words bringing them back to their senses. Their friendship would have been ruined. Asmund did admit he had feelings toward Kraehe, but as long as she was happy with Arik he wouldn't interfere. It was than that once again there peaceful dies began. But none of them could now what was sneaking up behind them, threatening their happiness.
It was the day of Kraehe's transformation into a female Dokkalfar. Everything was ready and all that was left was for Kraehe and Arik to go to the room were the transformation was going to be done. In Kraehe's room Arik noticed she was nervous. He went up to her and smiled kindly, holding her hand tightly. Kraehe returned his soothing smile and kissed him on the cheek, causing Arik to blush. She broke out in a laugh, which made Arik blush even more, but even though embarrassed he couldn't help but smile. Arik held out his hand toward Kraehe, and as she reached for the his shadow covered hand, she froze. Turning around she pulled out something wrapped neatly in a piece of cloth. Happily she handed it to Arik. When opening it his eyes widened with wonder as he stared at the beautiful music box. Kraehe told him to keep it. She also placed the necklace key around his neck, so he could open it. Arik had laid the precious gift aside and hugged her with all his might. She was something irreplaceable and so valuable. He felt as long as she was with him, his happiness would never end. There the two walked together, as Kraehe shyly held his hand to the ceremonial room.
âI keep replaying your sweet music box, wishing you were here to sing me the words once again. But whenever I fly to the place that we would spend are days together, you are never there to meet me. And I come to realize the darkening reality that I have lost you. â
