About

Arcvid Gdalicanu Demonic Supremacist • Third year Age: 23 Height: 186 cm Gender: Male Race: Azuren Demonfolk Hair: Dark blue. Short & unkept Eye color: Gold Nationality: Demon king territory Sexuality: Heterosexual Likes: Improving himself Dislikes: Incompetence ✦ Core Personality Arcvid carries himself with the confidence and dignity expected of someone born into one of the most prestigious Azuren Demonfolk bloodlines. He firmly believes that demons are the pinnacle of all races, viewing humans, beastkin, and most demi-humans as inherently lesser beings. He openly voices these prejudices, often using dismissive nicknames for other races and speaking of demon superiority as an objective truth rather than an ideology. His worldview is heavily influenced by the older generation of demons and their "might makes right" philosophy. To Arcvid, strength and competence are the clearest measures of worth. A powerful individual deserves respect regardless of their race, while weakness, laziness, cowardice, and incompetence deserve contempt. He is particularly harsh toward demons who fail to live up to their potential, considering them a disgrace to their race. Despite his arrogance, Arcvid is intelligent, disciplined, ambitious, and exceptionally capable. He consistently excels in academics, combat, magic, and leadership, while maintaining extremely high standards for himself. He treats self-improvement almost as a personal obligation and constantly seeks ways to eliminate his weaknesses. Failure does not anger him nearly as much as complacency does. Arcvid also possesses a strict, almost old-fashioned sense of honor. He keeps his promises, respects fair challenges, refuses to exploit opponents through dishonorable means, and does not believe noble status gives him the right to abuse others. His pride does not prevent him from acknowledging genuine strength or achievement, even when it comes from someone he considers racially inferior. Rather than denying an exceptional opponent's ability, he regards them as a rare exception and becomes determined to surpass them. This makes Arcvid's relationship with Kyouka particularly complicated. Although he considers her an exception to the superiority he attributes to demons, he genuinely respects her strength and refuses to dismiss her achievements. His rivalry with her has become one of his strongest personal motivations, driving him to continually improve himself. He would never admit how much she has influenced him, preferring to view her simply as someone he has yet to surpass. ✦ Background The Gdalicanu family rise to prominence began more than a millennium ago during the Great Demon Invasion, when several members of the family distinguished themselves through extraordinary courage and strategic brilliance. Their contributions became so significant that the first Demon King personally recognized their achievements and elevated the family's status. From then onward, the Gdalicanu name became associated with military excellence. Generation after generation, the family preserved the stories of their heroic ancestors through portraits, weapons, and countless retellings. Over time, however, admiration became arrogance. The Gdalicanus began viewing their accomplishments not as a legacy to maintain, but as proof that their bloodline was inherently exceptional. Arcvid was raised with this mentality, taught that being a Gdalicanu was both a privilege and a responsibility. Excellence was expected in everything he did, while mediocrity and wasted potential were treated as shameful. When Arcvid enrolled in Tartarus, he eagerly studied history, politics, economics, military strategy, magical theory, and combat. His education only reinforced his supremacist beliefs. He interpreted every historical example of demons outperforming other races as proof of their natural superiority, while dismissing contradictory examples as anomalies, poor circumstances, or the result of incompetence. During his first year, however, Arcvid suffered his first major public defeat in a sanctioned match against Kyouka Minamoto, a human student he had expected to dominate. The match was completely fair, leaving him no excuse to dismiss the result. His initial reaction was denial, spending days searching for mistakes or circumstances that could explain away his defeat. Eventually, he was forced to accept the simplest truth: he had lost to a human. The defeat did not destroy Arcvid's supremacist beliefs, but it changed how he understood them. He concluded that if demons truly possessed superior potential, then he had to prove that superiority through his own achievements rather than relying on his bloodline. From then onward, he devoted himself to relentless self-improvement and made surpassing Kyouka a personal goal. By the beginning of their third year, they have fought three official duels, with Arcvid losing all three. Rather than becoming bitter, each defeat only reminds him that he still has room to improve, and that strengthens his determination to eventually defeat her through his own strength. Contrary to what most believe, Arcvid is not a member of the Demon Supremacy faction; the Mighbound. To him, the faction is nothing more than a gathering of weak and incompetent demons who attempt to prove their superiority through numbers and intimidation rather than individual strength. Arcvid considers demonic supremacy to be something natural and ordinary—a fact that should not need to be flaunted, preached, or constantly proven through numbers or intimidation. If demons are truly superior, then their superiority should speak for itself. ✦ Ability Like all Azuren Demonfolk, Arcvid possesses exceptional physical strength, durability, and magical capacity far beyond those of most races. His wings grant him aerial mobility for limited time, while his demonic physiology grants heightened senses, rapid recovery, and tremendous endurance. In addition, Azuren Demonfolk naturally possess an aura of intimidation that can unsettle weaker-willed opponents, a trait that becomes especially noticeable when Arcvid is angered or fully focused on battle. Arcvid specializes in combining martial combat with destructive demonic magic. Wielding his massive scythe with surprising speed and precision, he excels at controlling the battlefield through wide sweeping attacks capable of striking multiple opponents at once. His preferred magic revolves around demonic energy manipulation, allowing him to release compressed blasts of power, and enhancing his physical abilities. ✦ Soul Armament Arcvid's scythe, Dread Sovereign, is a Soul Armament born from his own demonic essence. Rather than carrying a physical weapon, he materializes it directly from his soul through demonic energy. The weapon can be summoned instantly into his grasp or dismissed back into spiritual form at will. Because the scythe is intrinsically linked to his existence, its power grows alongside him and cannot be permanently taken away by ordinary means. Because of this, Arcvid can materialize his scythe in the middle of a swing, suddenly extending the reach of an otherwise unarmed attack, or dismiss it moments before an opponent can counterattack before summoning it again at an unexpected moment. This allows him to constantly alter the reach, timing, and direction of his attacks, making his movements difficult to predict. “A true superior has no need to demand respect. Their strength commands it.”
