Heart of Darkness - Once/scene on entering crisis, choose a creature that you don't have a bond towards. Create a bond of Hatred towards that creature.
“You! You're the reason for my pain!”

Agony 5 - After you deal damage to one or more creatures, if you have a Bond towards at least one of those creatures, you may recover 10 Hit Points and 10 Mind Points.
“Justice! Justice will keep me going… forever!”

Shadow Strike 3: Action: roll Might, lose that much HP. If not downed, you may perform a free attack dealing extra damage equal to SL+# rolled as Dark (can't be changed)
“EXPERIENCE THE PAIN OF MY LOSS!”

Dark Blood - As long as you are in CRISIS, you have Resistance to Dark and Poison damage.
“Your darkness cannot overwhelm mine!”

Monkey Grip - Equip Heavy weapons in one hand

Protect - When another creature is threatened by an attack, spell or other danger, you may take their place (any Checks that are part of the danger will be performed against you; you may declare the use of this Skill before or after the Checks have been made). If the danger already affected you, it affects you twice (resolve both instances separately); you also cannot protect multiple creatures from the same danger. If you use this Skill during a conflict, you cannot use it again until the start of your next turn.

Bind & Summon - You may use an action and spend 40 Mind Points to summon an Arcanum you have bound.

1. Arcanum of the Sword - Merge: Your attacks deal 5 extra damage, and all damage dealt by your attacks is treated as having no type (thus being unaffected by damage Affinities). Damage dealt by your attacks cannot gain a type as long as you are merged with this Arcanum. When you perform an attack, you may have that attack gain the multi (any number of targets) property. If you do, this Arcanum will be automatically dismissed after the attack is resolved (this is not considered a willing dismiss). “She left me, but the spirit of my order never will!”

Arkyn was a young member of the Kastrian Order of Dawn, an honorable order of knights created to serve not the nobility, but all Kastrian citizens. While serving as a squire under Knight Illustria, Arkyn met and fell in love with Justys, another new squire.

Arkyn and Justys were eventually Knighted. Soon after, Nuvonia attacked and defeated Kastria in the “Two Day War”. A big part of their success was the betrayal by a small group of Dawn Knights, including Justys, which caused the destruction of the ancestral hall of the Dawn Knights, the Dawnhold, and every knight within. Arkyn was not present in the Dawnhold during its destruction (he was compassionately helping Fynn in an unrevealed story bit) but arrived shortly thereafter and somehow became the wielder of Heartbreaker – a fallen/angry version of the Dawn Knight's artifact weapon.

Filled with the power of his fallen order, Arkyn attacked the Nuvonians in a rage. He took many out and caused Justys (and her cronies/boss?) to flee but he was eventually overwhelmed. Held for execution, he was freed by his old friend Fynn who snuck him onto their skyship and fled Kastria.

At one point during his days as a squire, Arkyn met the Pirate Queen Red Marg, and learned that while they were a pirate they had an honor of their own sorts, and actually understood “justice”. This encounter helped keep him from a one-note idea of how justice works and while he will never truly sully his own sense of honor, Arkyn understands that not everyone needs to be a shining beacon of virtue to be someone he can work with.

Arkyn is young, stupid but principled, and passionate. He is quick to anger but his principles (and recent depression) keep him in check, though this often results in verbal outbursts while maintaining his cool physically. Knight Illustria spent a lot of time teaching him to be quiet but recent events have undone much (but not all) of that successful training. Arkyn regularly communicates his feelings in battle with “emo” battlecries (See Skills above)
