Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Arcturus has a full, thick, well-kempt beard that reaches to his collarbone.

Special abilities

  • Stellar Manipulation: A subclass of pyromancy, mixed with raw magic, Arcturus has the ability to manipulate, create, weaponise, and destroy stars. This ability includes several sub-abilities, described below:
    • Absolute Burning
    • Gravity Manipulation: An offshoot from Arcturus's main ability, he can manipulate and control gravity. This ability includes:
      • Atomic Density Manipulation
      • Attraction/Repulsion of objects and persons.
      • Black Hole Creation
      • Directional Gravity: Arcturus can choose which way gravity pulls a given object.
      • Gravitational Downforce/Crushing: Arcturus can increase the gravity in an area, putting immense strain on anything within said area and crushing it, depending on the magnitude.
      • Gravitational Upforce/Levitation: Arcturus can change the gravitational pull in a given area, causing everything within to float upward.
      • Gravity/Black Hole Solidification/Constructs: Arcturus can condense gravitons to the point where they become a solid mass (such as a weapon) while not exerting any outward gravitational pull. Anything that comes in direct contact with these objects, however, will be ripped apart and destroyed.
      • Singularity Inducement: Arcturus is able to create singularities which have no event horizon, and are therefore invisible until matter surrounds them.
      • Space-Time Distortion/Time Dilation Field: Arcturus can alter the flow of time around a person or object by making gravity more or less intense.
      • Star Creation: Includes all types and sizes of stars, such as pulsars and magnetars.
      • White Hole Creation: The inverse of a black hole, which repels all matter, rather than attracts it. Functional as a potential forcefield.
    • Nuclear Fission/Fusion Manipulation: Arcturus has the ability to manipulate both nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, allowing him to either create explosions simply by destroying the bonds between atoms, or fuse atoms to create a fusion reaction.
    • Radiation Manipulation
    • Star Fall: Arcturus has the ability to disrupt and cancel the orbit of a stellar body.
    • Supernova Inducement: Requires an existing star, either natural or one of Arcturus's own creation.
  • Godly Condition: Minor or not, Arcturus is still a god. As such, he is afforded the same natural boosts as all of the gods:
    • Divine Form: Like all of the gods, Arcturus can gather all of his essence in one place, and shift into his true form. This form is unknown by anyone other than the gods, as well as immortal races such as angels and devils; upon seeing it, an individual would disintegrate into nothing but ash.
    • Godly Detection/Perception: Arcturus can sense both life force and magic, regardless of cloaking, illusion, or any other means that would render the user invisible or untraceable. The only individual he and the other gods cannot detect is Eris.
    • Godly Magic: The only one more powerful than Arcturus in terms of magical power and ability is Eris.
    • Godly Reflexes: Arcturus's reflexes are impossible to outpace. Only Eris is faster.
    • Godly Regeneration: Arcturus's natural regeneration of injuries and wounds is much faster than that of any race, allowing him to heal even near-mortal wounds within seconds.
    • Godly Senses: Arcturus's senses are among the best in the universe. This includes better sight, better sense of hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
    • Godly Speed: Arcturus's speed is impossible to match. Only Eris is faster than him.
    • Godly Stamina: Arcturus's stamina is nearly unlimited. Only Eris can outlast him.
    • Godly Strength: There is nearly no upper limit to the feats of strength Arcturus can perform. Only Eris is stronger.
    • Ichor Properties: Rather than blood, Arcturus posesses ichor, a golden fluid and the blood of the gods.
    • Immortality: While Arcturus can be wounded, he can never truly die, and will resurrect even if his body is utterly destroyed.
    • Multipresence: Arcturus has the ability to be in multiple places at once, doing many different tasks at the same time.
    • Omnilingualism: As a god, Arcturus can inherently speak and comprehend all languages, even code languages.
    • Teleportation, Type VI: Arcturus can teleport almost anywhere, covering lightyear distances on a cosmic scale. He can take mass up to the size of a skyscraper with him when teleporting.

Apparel & Accessories

In his mortal-sized form, Arcturus regularly wears business suits, ties, dress shoes and slacks. In his godly form, he wears a dark orange tunic and leather sandals.

Specialized Equipment

Arcturus's staff, Polaris, is a golden staff that ends in a two-pronged "U" shape. In the center of the "U" is what appears to be a miniature star. The color of the star depends on a variety of factors, including what magic is being cast and Arcturus's mood.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Arcturus was created by Eris at the beginning of the universe, and tasked with helping to create it. He did not intervene at first, as Evelyn and Erebos volunteered. After Evelyn and Erebos went to war due to differing views between their children, Arcturus was one of the gods who stood by and watched the conflict. When the Light-Dark War ended, Arcturus was asked, along with the other gods, to continue creating the universe. While the other gods created the different races and continents, Arcturus had a grander scale in mind. He filled the universe with massive stars, black holes, quasars, and all manner of stellar bodies. Every star in the universe was handcrafted and sent to shine brightly in the night sky for the mortals below.   After all was said and done, Arcturus was one of the gods that wished to return to the Realm of the Gods, seeing his work completed. However, However, Eris refused to follow, declaring that he would remain in the mortal world to meddle around and observe as he saw fit. Arcturus, among the other gods, tried to convince Eris that leaving the world to grow on its own was the best choice, but he refused to heed their words, and as a result, Arcturus and the other gods had no choice but to take up arms against Eris.   The War of the Gods is often colloquially called the "Ten-Minute War", due to the speed and fury with which the other gods were beaten by Eris, Arcturus included. As with his intervention in the Light-Dark war, Eris was merciless and brutal in his retaliation, and it is said that after the war was over, he was nearly bent on erasing the universe, along with the other gods, deeming it a failure, thanks to both the Light-Dark war and the Ten-Minute war. However, he hesitated, as he cared for his new family, and Arcturus, along with the other gods, begged him to reconsider. Emotionally spent, Eris acquiesced, and a treaty between the gods was formed, stating that, excepting any major existential threat to their creation, Eris was not to interfere. However, he could remain in the world of mortals to observe.   Arcturus has rarely been seen in the realm of mortals since, preferring to focus on the overall grander scale of the universe.

Sexuality

  • Created every star in the universe

Failures & Embarrassments

Morality & Philosophy

Arcturus is very stern and no-nonsense, and is often relied upon for more important decisions, despite being a minor deity. He is widely considered to be one of the most "responsible" gods, and when things get out of hand, he swiftly reins everyone in, sometimes by force. He does not outwardly show his emotions well, and most of the time comes off as very gruff and abrasive, sometimes even appearing heartless. Despite all this, deep down he cares for his family, and wishes only the best for them — even if, on the surface, all he shows is anger or annoyance.

Arcturus and Erebos were created by Eris at the beginning of reality. One would think that their opposing natures would drive each other away. But beneath Erebos's surface, Arcturus sees Erebos for what he really is; a struggling father simply trying to do right by his children. Arcturus has great respect for Erebos in that regard, and while neither of them are good at expressing themselves, they appreciate each other's company.

History

Arcturus and Electra were created by Eris at the beginning of reality. Perhaps it's Electra's abilities with physics, or her progressive nature compared to Arcturus's traditionalism, but whatever the reason, Arcturus and Electra don't get along well. Electra thinks Arcturus takes himself and godhood far too seriously, and Arcturus is highly judgemental of Electra's lifestyle. Never the less, Arcturus cares about Electra deep down, and like all his siblings, only wishes the best for her.

Nicknames & Petnames

Electra usually calls Arcturus "pops", or "gramps" when she wants to insult him.
