He brandishes an old sword from a forgotten civilization, and a shaman’s staff. His hair is long and grey, reaching the base of his spine.<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Cormac-aligned Necromancer (Knight)<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Arkane is a holy seer that communicates with the spirits of the dead. He gains his power through the enslavement of the living. He believes his word comes from a higher authority, and that is powers are potentially limitless. He claims to be several centuries old, and a scholar and historian of a long since dead civilization, the study of which originally turned him on to his own spiritual powers. He gains his power through a ritual with a slave. A symbiotic relationship forms in which both made and slave grow in power, making the ritual extremely dangerous for all but the most experienced, for it is possible for the slave to come out with upper hand. He constantly seeks new resources to experiment with his own powers. He uses a tome written in an ancient language by a long lost civilization to aid in his explorations.<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Arkane is from the land beyond Firnhard and Nordmark, but has been in Firdamar for decades. He serves as Cormac’s mage and fortune-teller, using his abilities to communicate with the dead to aid and advise his master.

He is intensely loyal to Cormac.<br/><strong>Definite Ons:</strong>N/C, harems, ritualized sex, audiences, dirty talk, power struggles<br/><strong>Definite Offs:</strong>Death, dismemberment, anything that ends in -ore, scat, bestiality
