Grave’s Profile


Name: Arcanthos (although he says that name is dead and gone)


Nickname: Grave (short for The Graveripper)


Race: Angelic (Angel of Death)


Age: Been around since shortly after the beginning of everything


Appearance: Like most angels, Arcanthos can take many shapes, but he prefers taking a humanly shape of a man in his early twenties with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes. His body is toned yet not bulky, and he has a large set of black wings. Arcanthos wears a black loincloth as the only piece of clothing. He can materialize his weapon at any time, a double bladed scythe with soul piercing capabilities known as The Graveripper (yes he took the name of his weapon as his own name later on.)

Personality/Background: Cruel and calculating, Arcanthos has always viewed almost all life as meaningless, save one “small speck” in his existence. For eons, as an Angel of Death, Arcanthos’ duty was to help cross over the souls of the dead to their judgment. Perhaps the countless inhumane and horrible acts he saw many races over several dimensions do to one another drove him to be so cold. However, all this changed one day.


On a routine job to ferry the soul of a young woman on a world not too different from our own, something happened. Arcanthos was stricken with love by the girl whom he thought put the gates of heaven to shame with her beauty and the purity of her soul. She was to die from a rape and mugging by three lowlife scumbags. When Arcanthos saw her stand up to one of the thugs who grabbed her, he decided to take “judgment” into his own hands, and pretty much broke every single one of the “big no-no’s” in the angel rulebook. He interfered with the death of a mortal, he took the lives of several mortals who weren’t due, and he engaged in an intimate relationship with a mortal. And to make matters even worse, he disappeared off the grid, using ancient magic to hide his location even from the heavens.


But he didn’t say hidden too long. Several years later, a energetic little angel by the name of Markie noticed an irregularity on one of the planets she was passing through. By accident, she stumbled across Arcanthos with the girl, Melody. Unbeknownst to Arcanthos, Markie reported her find to her higher authority sister (at the time) Krista. An elite unit of angels were sent to capture Arcanthos, however when they arrived he came in willingly to avoid any possible harm to Melody. Arcanthos pleaded his case to no avail, and was sentenced to permanent exile from heaven, and the girl Melody was to have her soul reaped immediately since she was supposed to die years ago. Arcanthos attempted to beat the other Angels of Death to Melody, but arrived moments too late. He went berzerk, eradicating the other angels at the scene(angels don’t die, but they can apparently be erased from existence by divine weaponry).


After that, he went on a crazed assault of heaven itself, determined to take Melody’s soul out of there. Several more angels were eradicated, but the attempt ultimately ended in failure. Arcanthos received a new sentence, to be eternally held in a shadow prison, a dimension that has nothing in it but darkness. He was bound by shackles enchanted with holy magic that would only open if a pure-hearted soul free willingly opened them. He was thrown in, the doorway to the dimension closed, and with time he was ultimately forgotten…
