The Goal

The land of Althanas, birthmother to a multitude of talented individuals, warriors and mages alike. Though divided their potential and true abilities are left untapped. The Arcanum is searching for these unique individuals to unite them into one unit. The ultimate goal is to achieve a better Althanas, through unification of these talented individuals we will better acquire an understanding of the unknown world and preserve it, eliminating the filth which plagues it.

Achievement

The Arcanum must harvest the abilities of the truly gifted to maintain ordinance over designated areas. This is only achievable with your cooperation. We need the fully support of each, and every individual who feels they are worthy of this ultimate goal. Warriors will maintain Ordinance by rooting out the unjust as well as the profane. The more knowledgeable will continue to study magical energy and the arcane arts, discovering ways to better aid our glorious civilization, propelling Althanas to the heavens.

The Arcanum

In order to advance further towards a prosperous future, the Arcanum must first journey on a crusade to purify Althanas of its cancer. This sickness takes the form of many living beings. Men and woman, and possibly children alike. Each of them with their own ideas of advancement which ultimately plagues Althanas. The Arcanum, using it’s driving force of Mages and Warriors will eliminate the unjust.

The Policy of Arcane Rule

Members of the Arcanum are prohibited from harming one another. Any citizen who causes unrest within the Arcanum will be dealt with accordingly. The Arcanum does not take this lightly, threats within the network will be contained and eliminated, and the culprit will be removed from our ranks, through means of cleansing.

The Policy of the Arcane arts

The Arcanum greatly supports the studies and preservation of magical energy, though it is realized that renegade mages terrorize the cityscape, casting spells as they please. The Arcanum will recruit mage enforcers to eliminate the use of un authorized magical energy in public locations. Each enforcer will be licensed to cast spells as they please to contain and eliminate the culprit.

Join the Arcanum

If you feel that you are worthy to join the Arcanum and better aid Althanas with your unique talents, then the Arcanum will accept you. We feel that those qualified to enforce the rules must do so, and join instead of simply obeying the laws. Your talents will be put to good use and you will be taken care of.

We realize that many members will wish to be recognized, and this will be possible. All the Arcanum wishes is that the rules are enforced, and Althanas advances towards a better, and more prosperous future. With this, the worthy will advance in ranks, if our ultimate goal is better aided by the individual.


History

Name: Aki Itou
Alternate Alias: N/A
Age: 23
Appearance: Aki is about 5’9” built relatively lithe. He exercises very little and spends most of his time reading at a local library or looking for work. Though, he is known to practice his swordplay and arcane studies . He dons heavily brown eyes, almost smoldering black, and a mop of sable hair . His complexion is a light tan, though he gets little sun, his complexion never seems to waver.
Brief history: Aki was recruited into the Arcanum while living in the orphanage by Kaij, which at the time was Aki’s father figure and mentor. Kaij proved to be a harsh but effective trainer, teaching Aki the basis of the arcane, and instructing him on how to harbor such abilities. Kaij tapped much of Aki’s potential giving Aki the right to freedom with the Arcanum. The elder leader died seven years after Aki’s arrival
Family history/Lineage: Aki was born to a poor family, his father a farmer and his mother a very sickly woman. Both died in an alleged fire of unknown causes, and though Aki held high respects for his parents, it would later become obvious that Aki would later accept Kaij as his father.
How you were introduced to the Arcanum: Kaij discovered Aki while the young boy was living within an orphanage located in a barren forest on the outskirts of Alerar. After keeping a watchful eye on the young boy, it becoming steadily obvious of the arcane prowess Aki harbored. Kaij would later take Aki to the Arcanum where he would train him in the arcane arts.
Magical Abilities/Potential: Aki’s magical abilities were a little over minute, possessing a little more than the average human, though with his every exposure with creatures of the Supernatural, his abilities seemed to grow. He seems to retain knowledge abnormally well, seemingly harnessing a stronger grasp of his psychic prowess as his retained knowledge builds. Over time he seems to be developing a vast array of psychokinetic abilities, such as pyrokinesis as well as telekinesis, this also allowing him to create weak barriers against physical and magical damage alike which strengthen in power as he advances in his studies.
Weapons/items: Aki carries a steel katana formerly made by his now deceased father. The blade shows signs of wearing, rust forming on the edges causing the blade to be rather blunt. Though the blade appears to be nothing more than trash, Aki refuses to rid himself of it.

Time in the Arcanum: Seven years.

You're supposed to have a website, a motto and an insignia, I believe. But those are stupid rules that I think are both completely worthless and time consuming. I approve it.
