Arcanum I (Darth Wiki)/Characters

Nero Gallagher: owner of The Magician
The Ordinary High School Student high school student main character. Nero is an A student who tries to enjoy his already slighty-more-interesting-than-average life. He does this because as a comic book and manga fan,he recognizes that when someone complains about his life, things get way too exciting. Things get way too exciting anyway. Nero snarkily but fully accepts his duties to prevent the Arcana from being abused. His True Arcana is The Magician, which was attracted to his ingenuity and determination.


 * Blow You Away: His second favorite spell type. One of the first he learned.
 * Deadpan Snarker: When you've got someone like Raine making herself at home, it gets a little hard to hold back the snark.
 * Determinator: One of the reasons The Magician likes him.
 * First-Person Smartass: When he's got a hold of the narration it ranges from exposition to scathing commentary.
 * Genre Savvy: Comes with the territory.
 * Indy Ploy: He like to use the versatility of The Magician in ways to catch people who expected a Squishy Wizard off guard.
 * Kung Fu Wizard: While he's only moderately skilled in martial arts, he uses this as part of his tricks.
 * Resigned to the Call: He really didn't want to get involved in the first place, but more harm will come from doing nothing than giving up the remainder of his life's normality.
 * Shock and Awe: His favorite spell type. The very first spell he used was in this category.

Raine Chevalier: owner of the Empress
The local freeloader and plot enabler. Raine is a 543 year old French Noblewoman. She was found by The Empress when she was 18, and hasn't aged since then because of the immortality the Arcanum grants. She's traveled the world. Seeing a great many things. But she still enjoys her immortality because there are still things that surprise her now and again. She's the one who found Nero for The Magician, and told him of the dilemma with the Arcana. Because of these circumstances she has decided to make herself at home in Nero's apartment, much to his chagrin. When she's not eating Ice cream and being generally snarky, she's usually playing video games or going shopping. Her True Arcanum, The Empress grant immortality and eternal youth, also allowing the owner to sense other Arcana. Raine also has an Ace of Cups, which allows her to use any kind of water magic. Allowing her to support Nero in combat.

""If I weren't immortal, I'd never find out what the last Final Fantasy is called!! That's the single greatest mystery of the universe!!""
 * An Ice Person: When she's actually trying to injure people. (she doesn't freeze people to immobilize them because, well, let's just say, in this world, it'd have the same results as real life.
 * Gamer Chick: In her opinion, the best innovation in the history of entertainment was the analog stick.
 * Living Forever Is Awesome: In her own words:

"Raine: "More people who are "destroying the foundation of American Values?" I swear, if that were true every time they said it we must have been completely demoralized about a million times by now.""
 * Making a Splash: When she needs to stun someone. (When she's in "divine punishment mode" she asphixiates them.)
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old
 * Seen It All: Paradoxically enough. Even though she loves her immortality because of the new things she experiences, she still can't resist snarking at humanity's inability to change.


 * Sugar and Ice Personality: She's snarky and standoffish, due to her "seen it all" attitude (even though she herself still gets the odd surprise), in the past she was bossy as well, but she learned to weed that out. But when it comes down to it, she has her happy moments, and she really likes Nero, and is saddened that he can't live forever. But don't expect her to admit that.
