Devote to the safety, and protection of others, Arsenic unlike the definition of his name is one to cherish life.

What would seem to be a chore for one in helping his/ her neighbor he finds pride, and joy in, often enough seen as dedicated, and selfless.
Appearance:
Mousy blue hair, passing over the delicate full circle marking on his forehead Strands of hair often carelessly passing across his lush forest green eyes, often enough obscuring his view, cream skin coupled with a youthful facial structure make him look like quite the heart breaker. His sensitive endearing smile is enough to melt the heart of even the most heartless of women. His external appearance has just begun to change due to maturity; his mousy blue hair has grown, and has changed to a dirty blond color, which his now worn in a pony tail. His eye color has also changed to a sort of brown color, all changes that have occurred within the recent years.
He is roughly the height of an average person, holding the agility and physique of a youth that participates in rigorous exercises, and training. Broad shoulders with a slim frame, muscles compacted giving him a deceiving look of one incapable of defending him let alone a small group. However, once engaged in battle his strength far surpasses what would normally be expected.
With his previous clothing dismantled, Arsenic was given anew attire. On his legs are hakama made of stiff, striped cloth, black. These are worn with the black montsuki kimono (a kimono with one family crest on the back), white tabi (divided-toe socks), white under-kimono and woven straw sandals, and a montsuki haori (long jacket) with a white haori-himo (haori-fastener) that completes the outfit. Along with his katana kept close to his side, by a white obi sash that wraps around his waist.
History:
In a small village outside of Alerar, which explains his heritage, his mother was a human, and his father a dark elf. His birth consequentially was an accident he took neither parents surnames, and his given first name was to symbolize the devolvement of his parent’s relationship after his birth.
Arsenic Ruin
Arsenic’s father abandoned all intimate interest in his mother upon her pregnancy, leaving her in a state of depression, and spite. Hating the child that she bore and transferring that hate into physical pain and infliction after his birth several times striking him if he did as much as wale in the midst of the night as he grew, the abuse continued, and even though it left him with the impression that people all are genuinely endowed with evil within them. It played an avid part in his perception of the value of life.
This being the start of his desire to protect harnessed from that point on. His father noticed Arsenic’s steel and determination; along with his lack of fear when presented with a situation where he was, standing for what was right. With these observations in mind, he introduced Arsenic to a settled knight within the region at 15, who taught him the basics of herbology, and unarmed combat. His basic curriculum, along with how to wield a sword, and the basics of defensive and offensive attacks, made him adept enough to be titled as a squire.
At the young age of 17, he was let lose into the world, with the teachings of his instructor he learned the ways of the knights of old. Honor, valor, and chivalry being the basic precepts and foundations of his actions, with that in mind and he forgave his mother prior to his departure away from that place, the broken home. Upon his leave, he wore his father’s armor, and skin tight under armor conceived of his mother’s intuition and guilt, along with a freshly forged sword given to him by his predecessor. Therefore, he left, with nothing but his armor and sword, along with his hopes to protect, and his parent’s best wishes.
In present time, Arsenic has part-taken in the Cell Tournament, as well as a small quest to slay a wayward drow phantom. Both events giving him more experience with his weapons, and learning about him than any training he could have been given.
After the tournament, Arsenic began to exercise his skills taking part in a series of smaller training bouts with his instructor, and finding that even with his learning he was still insufficiently prepared for further combat. With that in mind he re-instated himself into a training regimen that consisted of weighted pants to increase his movement speed, agility, and footwork. Several segments of training with a wooden sword that resembled a smaller broad sword with a curve, and the blade on the outside instead of both outer and inner, the slender blade weighed a lot less and felt awkward the first months of training before he began to wield it easier, and feeling more comfortable with it.
For his upper body, the sword worked wonders making his arms stronger, and more limber increasing the sides of his small forearms. Toning his chest because of the repeated swings. The months flew by and after four successful months of speed training, his lean muscular frame became one of speed, and agility still holding the strength of before only compacted into a leaner frame.
Skills:
Sword Combat: - The main proficiency that he was trained in during his short time with his instructor. Given the knowledge of how to wield a sword to protect him. He was drilled on defensive maneuvers such as parrying, counter attacking, and defensive postures and movement. Along with the ideals of offensive approaches, slashing, jabbing, and disarming. His wielding prowess has been extended to a more trickster styled swordplay. Given a bit of an unorthodox rebellious feel, the sword thusly becoming an extension rather than just a weapon.
Unarmed Combat: Basic Knowledge: - Trained to the level of Adept in physical combat without any form of weaponry. Arsenic is more than capable of taking down two opponents in chorus. Equip with the knowledge of the basic workings of the body, and grappling. Given several crash courses on the basics of anatomical structuring, so that he would know the legitimate pressure, and place to break certain bones, through a brief disarming and removal of his weapon within the Cell tournament he was forced to handle himself without a weapon. Which lead to him implicating a wider-range of grapples and a simplistic boxing style to his resume.
Survival: Basic Knowledge: - Through several trips into the wilderness, knowledge was accumulated on the basics of survival. The basics including, how to differentiate between poisonous and non-poisonous herbs, along with the ability to tell time from the sun, as well as tracking for food, but with an enhanced survival prowess being enhanced through his time spent while shortly fighting the phantom Vampire Arawn. Arsenic is now able to identify some herbs that lead to a faster recovery time, within the bleak, L'Renor Harlilen area within Dark Elf Country.
Equipment:
Damascus: - The once flawless blade, now marred and scratched after months of constant battle within the Cell and otherwise, was brought to Arsenic’s instructor. After inspecting the blade, it was put high on a shelf out of reach and use, and towards the end of Arsenic’s training session was smelted, tempered and transformed into a katana. The sleek surface, curved blade, and sharpened edge painting a deadly, yet beautiful picture for any that stand in its way. The same words still etched into its curved surface. –“Protector”
Montsuki kimono: On his legs are hakama made of stiff, striped cloth, black. These are worn with the black kimono, white tabi (divided-toe socks), white under-kimono and woven straw sandals, and a montsuki haori (long jacket) with a white haori-himo (haori-fastener) that completes the outfit. Along with his katana kept close to his side, by a white obi sash that wraps around his waist. The clothing was woven for the sake of speed and fluidity when in combat. No longer restricting his movements, allowing Arsenic’s body to bend and move freely without behind hindered or weighted down by his previous armor.
