Artorias was regarded highly amongst the people of Lordran and the other knights of Gwyn. Praised for his nobility, chivalry and goodness of heart. It was said that he was the most stubborn, most willful of Gwyn's knights; Artorias' will was unbending, his determination unbreakable in the face of danger. But he was also loved for his compassion to both his kingdom and it's people. Artorias is from an era from the distant past, when the world was yet still young and the light was still bright; a time of which was when olde english was spoken and commonplace. His will both helped yet also fed his hatred for the servants of the Dark, those aligned to the spread of the Abyss.[/i] [b]Background:[/b] [i]One of Gwyn's most loyal knights, Artorias' is regarded as a hero of legend, his deeds widely spread throughout the land. Artorias was one of the four Knights of Gwyn, the commanding knights of Lord Gwyn's army. Artorias had an unbendable will, a strength unmatched even by his peers, and legendary prowess with the mighty greatsword of wnich he was known to heft but in one hand without difficulty. He was first to discover the ability to traverse the Abyss, forming a covenant with beasts he was given a ring that kept the darkness from consuming him; he became known as the Abysswalker a title he would hold even in death. At what time did the Wolf Knight learn of Oolacile? Nothing is known of that, but that he and two of Gwyn's Knights went to the other kingdom's aid to fight the Abyss. It was he himself, with Sif to stand by him that Artorias descended to fight the one who wielded the Abyss, a sorcerer by the name of Manus to put an end to the Dark once and for all...But in his final moments he became overwhelmed by the darkness, sacrificing his greatshield to protect his loyal lupine ally before losing consciousness and breaking his arm in the process of sacrificing himself to save his allies. He thought he would lose his mind, in the darkness of the Abyss but a twist of fate would change the course of history for better or for worse...[/i] [hr] [b]Specialty:[/b] [i]Wolf Knight; One of Gwyn's four Knights, taught in the way of fighting the Abyss. An upfront fighter, fighting with ferocity and zeal, incredibly strong and agile. Though lacking in defense and tactic instead relying upon indomitable strength to break the enemy.[/i] [b]Level:[/b] [color=gray][i]1[/i][/color] [b]Experience:[/b] [color=gray][i]0/10 EXP[/i][/color] [b]Powers:[/b] [list] [*] [b]Estus Flask:[/b] [i]The Undead treasure these dull green flasks that twinkle brightly when filled. With a bright yellow light akin to a flame. A summonable item that can be upgraded via the cost of Humanity, it can be drank a certain amount of times before emptying. Healing the imbiber about 25% of their health, it has 10 charges. The flask is replenished by resting, and dissappears after imbibed. Cannot be lost or stolen, and is not a carried item.[/i] [sup][color=gray](Starting Power)[/color] [/sup][sup][color=gray]Power Level:[/color] 1[/sup] [/list] [b]Strengths:[/b] [list] [*] [b]Ferocity of the Wolf Knight:[/b] [i]Infused with the rage of an untamed beast, when Artorias fights he fights with a reckless abandon forgoing all defense in the name of offense and agility to overpower his foes. He suffers a 25% penalty to his defense in combat but his strength and agility/speed increases by about 25%, making him both deal and take slightly more damage while also being able to attack more frequently.[/i] [*] [b]Lordran Knight:[/b] [i]Trained to fight the Abyss, and skilled in the art of the blade. Artorias is well-known as a master swordsman excelling in the use of the greatsword, capable of wielding such a weapon in one hand due to both his strength and skill with the blade. Artorias is also capable of hefting greatshields and other heavy weaponry.[/i] [*] [b]Inhuman Strength:[/b] [i]Out of the Four, Artorias' strength could not be surpassed. Possessing a strength that allowed him to overcome even a debilitating injury such as a broken arm by fighting one handed with a greatsword. Due to the knights abnormal physiology, Artorias' strength is equivalent to that of a giants or at least ten strongmen.[/i] [/list] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [hider=Artorias' Curse] [list] [*] [b]The Beast Within:[/b] [i]A man without purpose, without duty and without reason has naught to lose but himself. He who has lost everything and has nothing to gain will throw himself at whatever stands in his way. Then he is no man but a wolf wearing the skin of a man, Artorias lost his purpose and failed his duty. Due to the Abyss twisting him and nearly breaking him, Artorias was left to crawl out of the darkness fueled by rage, though he can keep the beast inside him tame he can sometimes lose all semblance of self and be lost if not for a time before he can control himself again. It is hard to calm his fury when he is angered to the point of losing control.[/i] [/list] [/hider] [b]Spirits:[/b] [list] [*] [b]N/A[/b] [/list] [b]Inventory:[/b] [hider=Weapons] [list] [*] [b][url=https://preview.redd.it/n2x8azi8lrb21.jpg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3c85b5ea9913e6d87d2af81c4b3c256aade5406]Finstertöter[/url]:[/b] [i]Artorias hunted the servants of the Abyss with this weapon, imbued with the strength to strike down those who use the Dark powers of the Abyss.

Beneath the chest plate and shoulder pauldrons consists chainmail that is slightly rusted and tainted black. Artorias' helmet is merely decorative and covers his face with like a hood. His armor is colored by a dark blue cloth mantle that looks ragged and pitted with holes.[/i] [/list] [/hider] [b]Currency:[/b] [i][/i] [b]Kindred Spirits[/b] [list] [*] [b]Sif, Great Grey Wolf:[/b] [i]Artorias' longtime companion whom he almost sacrificed his own life to save.[/i] [*] [b]Lord's Blade, Ciaran:[/b] [i]One of Gwyn's other knights, an assassin and a woman who loved Artorias very much.[/i] [/list] [/hider] [/quote] The sheet's good. Partitio isn't quite the level necessary to start playing him yet, but we can think about where to put him. You wanted him to go into the Under, right? Once we're done with Gallo Tower we'll also pretty much be done with the Home of Tears, and King's Station stands ready to take the Seekers to a variety of locations throughout the Under afterward. We could put him Artorias in one such location that might better suit him than the Home of Tears.
