The Halfbreed
Identity
Name: Arthur Midas
Titles: Halfbreed
Positions: Former Temple Guardian; Former Member of the Etirath Guard
Race: Elemental; Human
Origin: Gilderand, Apithian Empire
Gender: Male
Age: 46
Physical Description
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 163 lbs.
Skin Tone: A lightly tanned shade that ignores the amount of sun exposure it is presented with completely.
Build: Appearing in his early twenties, the halfbreed has muscular toning to the point that his lean tendons show against his skin, illustrating a decent level of physical strength.
Eye Color: Varying depending on the form Arthur is most ready to become, they can shift to any of a large swathe of colors, with each being easily associated to one of his transformations.
Dominant Hair Color: Coal black, the young being's locks have a slight sheen to them, and tend to become crimson when exposed to large quantities of sunlight.
Vocal Description: Arthur's voice type fits in the range of a baritenor, with a smooth speaking tone that one might associate with a skilled diplomat.
External Synopsis: Considered tall by the average human standard, Arthur also sports an athletic build, with broad shoulders, thick, powerful forearms, well developed biceps and triceps, and thick, strong legs. Over all this, a lightly tanned, white skin type slides smoothly over the hidden musculature, unmarred by blade or nature as no scars or signs of physical stress can be found. Slight brownish black hairs can be seen, predominantly on his forearms, legs, and the nape of his neck, with slight signs of it in other locations. Veins also criss cross under his skin, showing up in his wrist and forearms more than any other area. The palms of his hands are slightly calloused, for what reason is unknown.
Arthur's facial type can fit into the category of a diamond head shape, his jawline strong with a relatively well defined chin. From there down, his neck, slightly thicker than typical, extends into a steady sloping towards the shoulders, with only the smallest traces of adam's apple. Up, however, continues towards full lips that share the tint of his skin, and cheeks that show no sign of facial hair. The cheekbones are barely noticeable in his features, but they create yet another feature for the halfbreed's appearance. On each side of his head, his ears are very well rounded in shape, with a loose lobe and proportional size to the rest of his head. His nose, aqualine in shape, is straight, with little definition near the top as it transitions to the space between his almond shaped, color changing eyes. These irises, usually lustrous in appearance, sit below medium eyelashes, and straight eyebrows that have the slightest diagonal tilt. Above his brow, black locks of hair form bangs that sweep to the left side, with small tufts of hair slightly sticking out at different locations. His hair, which is kept about ear length, is full of body and silky, with a slight natural wave within the separate strands.
Anatomical Analysis: When someone goes deeper than the surface on Arthur, they'll find that his nature has selected top physical form for a human of his figure. Each tendon of muscle falls under the category of pink muscle, making it well developed and more adaptable to circumstance, with the endurance and strength you see of the other two muscle types. The blood that pumps through his veins is O-, his mind operates at the highest capacity, and there are no signs of any sickness or flaws ailing him. But despite all these unusual perfections, none of them are as peculiar as what would best be considered his heart. A housing chamber for the essence that is Arthur, this cardiovascular organ is actually made of a crystal clear tissue, with the appearance of a literal glass heart. With a high tensile strength above even diamond, this encapsulates what makes Arthur... well, Arthur.
Personality
Mental State: The halfbreed has a clear, analytical mindset, with the ability to use deductive reasoning efficiently and in situations pertaining to deeper thought. Understanding of deep logical matter is extensive, with the ability to compare and contrast different theories and facts, as well as form highly fact based opinions. He shows clear capability in theory formulation, able to take observations and conglomerate them into an effective main concept. Learning ability is exceptional, with a thirst for knowledge not just on facts but other cultures and points of view. Uniquely among the majority, Arthur is capable of finding reasoning behind seemingly purposeless actions that certain identities might not comprehend.
Emotional State: Arthur is what you could call an almost optimist, something that can be observed off the principle he lives on: Hope for the best and expect the worst, then you'll never be disappointed. That being said, he is always content in the lifestyle he lives, with a deep passion for making the world a better place. However, his biggest weak points is that his heart can be considered just a little too big, something painfully obvious when something poses a risk to the things and people he holds closest. Those are the moments in which he becomes most dangerous, with a deep connection that, when severed, can release a side of the halfbreed many would rather avoid.
Spiritual State: Spirituality is something that is honestly not heavily contemplated by any entity with vast amounts of longevity, and Arthur was no exception to this case. However, due to his heritage and roots in the very flow of nature, the halfbreed took on the approach that through everything there is one energy which he labeled as essence, something that makes up the core of everything that exists. The center of his "spiritual" philosophy for much of his life, it wasn't until he arrived at Etirath that this ideal changed.
Exterior Demeanor: A genuine smile is very commonly seen on the young entity's face, his personality typically cheery when dealing with others. He always offers a sincere hand of help, and constantly strives to be a benefit to those around him. But in different situations, his personality can alter a bit, with his mind quickly becoming tactical when the situation calls for it, smile vanishing and instead replaced with a far off gaze that entails deep thought.
Moral Position: One of the qualities of Arthur that can be considered most outstanding is his strong sense of morality, with his very actions built upon this foundation. Oftentimes he will go out of his way to be charitable in some form or fashion, and he takes hold of a core belief in chances for those in need, and that each individual soul (essence in his belief) is deserving of the utmost care and respect. As such, he finds himself unable to kill anything undeserving, even if for the greater good.
Mannerisms: The halfbreed tends to appear on the exterior as a laid back persona, his posture and stances showing a lack of tension and anxiety. His arms tend to be crossed over his chest when the mind is occupied with complex situations, and when standing, there is a chance he is leaning on something. When in open space, he appears extremely relaxed, either one leg or the other bent while in his natural stance. On occasion, he will drop his chin on his hand when not paying attention or confused on a subject, giving him the appearance of a philosopher in deep thought.
Quirks: Arthur does have a tendency to hum little ditties to himself when occupied with something laborious and dull, tending towards darker sounding songs. When he does, it becomes clear that, while his regular speaking voice is baritenor, when in harmony he drops to near bass.
Intrigues: The halfbreed has a love for combative challenges, often enjoying observing and participating in tournaments and spars with those he meets along the way. In music, he also enjoys the darker melodies that usually accompany the more emotional music of different cultures. He has a preference for eating vegetation when he does decide to enjoy food, though he seldom does due to a lack of need and the constant flow of energy through his forms.

Background
History: The story of Arthur is a tale that is both long and steeped in concepts of adventure and heroism. And to truly understand his history, one must look at the life of his mother and how such a child entered into the world.
Melanie Midas was born the first and only daughter of a mage by the name Gideon Midas, a man whose ambition and knowledge had been cultivated by the mystic faction of the Apithian Empire. Called the Ascendancy, it was this group that took the most interest in the Curate's daughter, and it is through their documentation that we know the most of this woman's childhood. As a young girl, her first signs of talent in magic was her rapid growth in intelligence, the sign of a Prodigal. She spoke sooner that most children, walked earlier, and showed curiosity far beyond her years. The news could not have made her father prouder. The result of this pride, though, was a type of spoiling, and in turn, young Melanie gained freedom. It was this that resulted in her path. Because while other potential Prodigals were kept sheltered and taught, it was this young girl that roamed
