Arsene Generalities Name: Arsene Lupin AKA: The Gentlemen Thief, Maurice, Raoul Age: 130 Years Gender: Male Race: Demon Faction: Strigoi Squad: Not Yet Role: Informant, Thief, Gentlemen Battle Theme: Brotherswing - Caravan PalaceRank: D Red Orbs: 1000 Blue Orbs: 0 Character Description Physical Appearance(s): In his human form Arsene keeps himself relatively young looking, a french man with orange-ish hair that resembles a morning sun, with a pencil thin mustache. Typically wearing semi-formal attire, such as a simple black suit, but will change outfits as the job demands. He is lean, slightly tall, and has a frail face that is easy to manipulate for disguises. In his demon form Arsene is the essence of a Gentlemen and a Thief. Gold embellishments upon his suit, a top hat resting securely atop his head, a mask that hides his features but radiates smug confidence. Personality: Unlike the majority of demons, Arsene enjoys humanity, for he views them as being able to create works which demons simply can’t replicate. The heart and soul they pour into their artworks, their paintings, and stories are all unmatched in his eyes…Just like the delight he gets from watching an emperor’s vast empire crumble or their fortune vanish. Besides the desire to rob the upper echelon blind and watch those beneath them rise, Arsene is a gentlemen befitting his image. He has a code which he abides to for targets and how to handle situations, refusing to give into his base urges, no matter how tempting or primal they may be. Though he still likes to tease and prod, to rile up his opponents and watch them stumble after him, he can take some enjoyment out of the quiet days. For if every day became adventure, the adventures would turn quite dull. Backstory Backstory Arsene was, at first, a nameless demon who arrived in france at the onset of the 19th century. In his pursuit for both an identity and satisfaction, he came across a young Maurice Leblanc who unintentionally gave the shapeless demon a chance. Maurice was a poor child of a sick house servant, who desired a chance at getting her a better life. The nameless demon granted this wish, being the child’s shadow and guiding him to the manor’s vast riches to steal for himself. This single heist served as inspiration for Maurice to strike it rich, not as a thief but a writer. And who better to base his stories off of, then the friend who granted his mother and himself freedom. Now names held vast amounts of power in various mythologies and the simple moniker ‘Arsene’ served to give a spark to the demonic powder keg. It quickly became difficult to tell whether Maurice was basing his books off the exploits of ‘Arsene’ or Arsene was taking inspiration from these tales. Either way the fame and popularity of his exploits and Maurice’s books fed off each other and allowed him to crawl up the first steps to becoming a proper demon. He carried the title of his partner in crime and character with the greatest pride, wanting to uphold it and rise above the rest, while making sure to leave no pockets unpicked in his wake. Eventually his exploits found him residing in Transylvania, hearing about the rising of a brotherhood. The idea of joining them just happened to tickle his fancy, it had been a while since he had last had a partner and if turned boring…Well they surely had to have a treasure or two they could do without. Traits Trait #1 ShapeShifter Can swap between his human and demon form with great ease, any changes to his human form are through skill and tools of humanity, nothing more nothing less. A gentlemen must simply know how to dress. Trait #2 Name Inhuman Agility Rather then the straightforward-ness of swiftness, Arsene’s agility is top notch, allowing him to perform superhuman acrobatics. Equipment Name: Manners Description: A durable cane of blackened wood, looking almost charred from the right angle, with a curved handle on top. The origin of it changes constantly depending on his whim. Sometimes he says it’s a gift from his author, a representation of his code, or that he stole it from Sparda himself. Rank: D Traits: N/A Combat Foci Name: Thievery Description: Lupin’s style is a dangerous and almost foolish game of using his reflexes to dodge an opponent’s attacks while staying right inside their personal space, using sleight of hand and distractions to plant tricks and traps created with conjuration around them or on their person. It’s not a style made to win a fight, but frustrate or delay his opponent enough to allow him to escape. Rank: D Aspects:

Hey kyubbifox9, thanks for applying with this thief gentleman. Let's begin the review process. The app is fine almost everywhere. I do however have a slight issue with how your Inhuman Agility is worded: it allows your character extreme acrobatics but also fine sleight of hand. Generally these two are very separate skills (any gymnast won't make a good magician), and the sleight of hand in particular seems to be very close to Inhuman Dexterity. So I'll have to ask you to pick only one of these advantages, acrobatics or sleight of hand. Fortunately, you will get 2 more traits as soon as you rank up, which should happen after you complete a short 8-9 rounds thread on site.
