Arikado Faust

Arikado Faust is a main character in the "Re:" series, played by Zerokyon. He was the Vampire Lord of Space before and during the War of the Path, and died giving his life for the cause. He is partially responsible for setting Izar Neele on his quest to find The Creator after the war ended. He is also the older half-brother of fellow vampire lord Damion Battosai.

Background
Arikado was born out of an affair between Haste Battosai and Lilith Imogen DeRegne, a concubine of his who was raped by Dusan Valdis prior to Haste impregnating her. Due to Dusan leaving a fraction is his power inside of her, Arikado was born looking more like Dusan than anything else, which angered Haste to the point of madness. Because of what Dusan did, Haste despised his firstborn son and made no effort to hide his hatred which went as far as torturing the boy to Arikado's breaking point. When Damion was finally born from a union between his father and Allura Battosai, Arikado was quickly shunned by his father in favor of his new son, who showed promise as both a leader and a warrior. While Damion was the star child who could wield the element of Darkness as well as various other skills, Arikado found himself excelling in swordsmanship to the point that he better at it than his own brother. However, not even that would change his father's opinion of the elder child, finally causing Haste to proclaim something that would stick with the boy for the rest of his life: "Your brother was born lucky, but you are lucky to be born." After that, something mysterious happened to Arikado that would cause the boy to de-age making Damion the older brother, though this went unnoticed by all except Haste. Despite Damion being the favored son, the two boys were close and stood up for one another against their father and anyone else who bullied them. However, Arikado had decided that he didn't need his father and preferred Allura as someone to look up to, who didn't mind at all and treated Arikado as if he were her real son.

Soon after, the Chaos War neared its end as an older Damion and Arikado grew tired of the constant fighting and their father's mad quest for power. Thus, the two brothers allied themselves with Kuro Neele, who was the Demon King at the time, and came up with a plan that resulted in the sealing of Haste in the Lost Guardian's chambers. . . and signaled the end of the war. However, his cruel childhood took its toll on Arikado and thus when the war ended, he vanished. ..

Years later, Arikado had managed to hide his identity and found love with a woman named Julia. For a long while he lived as a huntsman with her in the woods. But one day something terrible happened. He briefly blacked out, and when he awoke, Julia was dead. And seeing that his hands were bathed in her blood, Arikado blamed himself for this and left once more, retreating into an even more shielded demeanor. Once this happened, Arikado decided to try and atone for his sins by becoming a masked vigilante called Alban, the Scourge of Death.

Because of his activities, he was shortly hunted down by the Lords, including Damion himself. And despite almost all of the Lords being present to fight Alban at once, the vigilante was able to fend them all off with ease, except for Damion when he achieved his first Ascension Form. This is when Alban was revealed to be Arikado, and was welcomed back to take the seat of the Lord of Space.

Personality
At first glance, Arikado is stoic and by-the-book. He is extremely smart and tends to know more than he lets on. He is known for pushing people away due to fear that he will hurt his friends and family, mainly because of something that happened in his past. Coldhearted and unforgiving, he doesn't easily trust people like his half-brother and is known as the most cynical and skeptical of the Vampire Lords. However, deep down, he cares for others and will not hesitate to protect those that he deems "close" to him. While he is capable of love, he's not very experienced in the art due to his reclusive lifestyle and abusive childhood. As a boy, Arikado was a lot more open and headstrong like any child should be at his age, but he always was neglected by his father who favored Damion. Thus, the Vampire Lord was constantly lonely not to mention determined to prove his worth.

After his revival, the cult's ritual corrupted his mind and thus made him prone to bouts of arrogance and bloodlust, even seemingly enjoying bloodshed and killing his enemies.

Appearance
In the beginning, Arikado was a tall young man with pale skin and combed, long black hair that fell below his neck, and wore a black business suit with a dark tie, along with black and white shoes. On the left side of his chest is a red rose inside his pocket, most likely to represent Julia.

Shortly after returning to Delusia, Arikado's hair and eye color changed to a light indigo and a deep gold, respectively. He also changed his clothing to that of a nobleman, wearing a long red and black jacket with black raised cuffs and black pants. On his left arm is a golden band with a purple gem. He wears a light blue undershirt and purple wrap around his waist. Over his shirt is a white cloth, and two white belts; one for his clothes, and another for his blade.

When Arikado was revived by cultists who believed him to be the god Loki, his appearance dramatically changed. Along with a shock of white hair and bright yellow eyes, his body has aged to represent the trials he has been through. His hands have changed into tridactyl claws and are wrapped in bandages, as have his feet turned into two claws. He wears no shirt but wears black pants with grieves on his legs. and has a crimson cape wrapped around his torso with the end part hanging off of his right shoulder, held in place by a medallion.

Abilities
With every appearance of his, Arikado has maintained a lithe, athletic form that has allowed him to evade attacks.

Space Magick: He is able to control the Space around him to a frightening degree, even going so far as to warp reality around him and change a person's DNA pattern.

Darkness Magick: Arikado has a limited control of Darkness due to his spiritual connection to Izar Neele. This mainly manifests in the form of the Chaos Blade spell, which he can draw from said connection. This makes Arikado the only Vampire Lord in Delusian history to use more than one element.

Blood Magick: Not much is known about how he acquired this element but it is known that he was able to use after his resurrection. It's hinted that the Blood Reaver that Arikado wields is part of reason he can use it.

Master Swordsmanship:   At a young age, Arikado had been able to perfect his swordsmanship skills, and is able to handle a sword, no matter the type. His skill far exceeds most of the people on Earth, and is able to beat Damion and Izar with ease.

Natural Battle Intelligence: Arikado can fight an opponent and figure out the movements and specific attacks within a few minutes, and find the enemy's weakness.
