“Wolf Master” Arthur Chalureis

Appearance:

Arthur “Canis” is a Canisatyr, which makes him look like an Anthropomorphic wolf or werewolf roughly 6’5’ in height; his body is overall very broad, bulky and strong. Arthur has mostly white fur with some grey swirls within his fur coat. He is most known wearing a heavy, menacing breastplate, pauldrons, and spiked gauntlets. These give him the appearance of an evil dark knight, but with a few differences; The metal in Arthur’s armor is blood red instead of dark, and there are many gaps in his armor, which exposes his fur as he doesn’t having anything on underneath. Arthur’s leg armor consists of a split skit and thigh covering similar to Palutena; however, Arthur’s skirt is made out of blood-red scale armor instead of cloth, and his thigh-length boot is made of metal and heavily spiked (Particularly at the knee to jab into foes). Both the longer, thigh length boot as well as the shorter-length boot behind the armored skirt have spikes on the top of the foot. Arthur also wears a cape with a pattern on the back that apparently shows his allegiance. He additionally has a somewhat small, feathered tail hidden inside his skirt.

His primary choice for a weapon is a great sword. It’s blade is made out of bone similarly to the Dragonbone Greatsword from Skyrim, but it has a wider, generally different shape, more actually reflecting the shape of Soul-Edge in Soul Caliber 4.

Personality:

To enemies on the battlefield, he takes the time to hear out people and see why they’re doing what they’re doing, sometimes almost as if his job were a psychiatrist. He does it nicely and tries to show that he cares, and after listening, politely makes a suggestion to prevent the battle. And it wouldn’t be a stupid suggestion; he listens carefully to what you tell him and then presents you with the request, he thinks is the most reasonable. Once people here him out and they refuse, Arthur goes “Oh well” and enters killing mode, saying nothing after that (after only saying his suggestion once) and ignoring everything they say until they’re killed. Arthur is completely uninterested to suggestions towards him. Trying to negotiate with him does nothing, and if the foe tells him what he could do to avoid violence, he ignores it and enters killing mode regardless.

Arthur asks personal questions such as where they live and who their family and friends are. What they like and what they care about. He asks these questions not in the primary interest of sparing them but rather to know who suffers when he kills them. Oh, for sure—it’s worth sparing their lives if it could be avoided, so it’s at least worth giving them a path to salvation (if they take it.) But Arthur overall doesn’t really care if they live or die—it’s the effort that’s worth mulling over, not the life. Kill too many Soldiers and perhaps an army will be at your doorstep, and nobody wants that. Getting better information on an enemy also gives him insight on how to better neutralize it.

He believes in Laissez-faire; people should solve their problems on their own. And if it were up to him, people should be killed on the spot for constantly relying on other people to do their personal work for them, such as buying food or helping them get the boyfriend/girlfriend; it’s the little, trivial things he gets very annoyed/hostile at. He will make suggestions, and nothing more. When Arthur understands that this is a team effort and it benefits him as much as anyone else, the situation and he can be quite liberal in how and who he helps (Even if the assistance is small/trivial.) When he does something for you, he doesn’t want anything back. He doesn’t like it and this is especially for personal issues; he’s not someone who likes to let other people know how he thinks or feels and doesn’t want you to get involved in them. If you talk to him about how he’s doing, he’ll deflect the question and ask about how you’re doing (and possibly inquire like how he does with enemies, but more friendly). Of course, he hides some his feelings for other people, both the good and bad. It seems that his distanced attitude towards people slows down his ability to like or dislike people. But it also seem that it helps him forgive people he dislikes while still retaining his ability to appreciate the people he likes. As a result, Arthur doesn’t personally hate too many people (though it’s still hard to know his opinions.)
