Bearing quick wits and reflex in both mind and body, Arata is the epitome of a sharpened dagger, ready to bear against one's greatest enemies--but also at an ally's back. A hidden and polished blade ready for most situations, all at his own behest, of course. He's a self driven, greedy cynic, only following his own orders, doing whatever he wishes and treating everyone else as if they all stood on the same pedestal. At his core unrelenting and aloof, yet a playful and arrogant man on the front; it's hard to gauge his true intentions, though he is most likely sizing those that are less fortunate to find him with a critical eye and snake-like tongue, speaking in riddles and baffling them with questions only to make his preys' heads spin. He will typically avoid most situations and niceties unless there's any benefit to him in a situation, leading to an otherwise lax and shameless nonchalance. In the case there's a job he knows he's capable of and has caught his eye, Arata is professional and adept enough to prove his worth with immediate results (letting the trash talk follow as soon as his contracts are finished).
Always one to speak as if he’s above others, though there's debate as to whether his words are ever truth or not, he has eloquence and grace enough to fake truth in the noble lies he spews. Unsurprisingly, for those less gullible to blatantly honeyed words and sardonic niceties, Arata's actions and morals are far from noble, as shown in countless records of bitter and bad blood from both enemies and clients alike, (even unsuspecting, unfortunate citizens) all agonizingly covered by his undeniably positive results. As long as his own safety and profit is secured, he could care less about the backlash. He's quite sensible and resourceful when it comes to decision making; however, he is definitely more inclined to subterfuge (lowering his chances of getting caught) rather than actual brutish tactics (though he claims he is capable of such).
Despite how selfish and arrogant of a being this foxy therian is, it's hard for others to question his capabilities. Steel through a lofty attitude and pose as his latest toy, and consider the job already done; Arata will do whatever it takes to live up to the irritable and nasty attitude he has polished all these years, if only he can laugh in your face after. Failure is not an option.

✦ [ H I S T O R Y ]
As he grew older, he respected his parents' resolve, though it was more out of a sense of familial love and tolerance for their actions; which he now began to think were incredibly stupid. Somehow claiming a residence, an adolescent Arata would remain home. For the following years, he'd wander the streets of Suutesa, listening in and watching. He'd play sweet with artisans and merchants, making a fair bit of extra cash as an errand boy. Eventually his urchin lifestyle gave birth to habits such as a subtle and deft sleight of hand coupled with a silver tongue, but he'd always pay attention when new merch arrived. Turns out the large amounts of eavesdrop and attention to detail began sharpening Arata's ability to appraise rare qualities from worthless. The art of deception was truly disgusting in hindsight, thinking of how much money they'd lost, but at the same time he thought, "How ingenious." Having been present during an exchange once, he'd called the seller out before his family, his accusations met with bewilderment and repercussions at first; until he noticed a mocking glint in the older man's eye. It was degrading, and Arata was furious they looked down on him, only for it to turn to awe when the man admitted to his falsehoods. His parents were ecstatic, showering their son with praise and promises of gifts. Though the more tempting offer was that of the enigmatic merchant, who lured Arata with the temptation of even sweeter promises. "You have a good eye at your age, but you could do much better without those clipped wings of yours." And oh, that stranger had never known him better than anyone else within the few minutes he'd known them.
Leaving his family for the merchant was as easy as breathing (not like he'd spent as much time with them lately, and "unconditional love" could only last so long in this dog eat dog world). What was even more surprising was the covert profession of his mentor; under the guise of a merchant, they were a battle-hardened thief. A fleet-footed treasure hunter who stole from the rich, the needy, and the dead; so long as it was a precious good worthy of his attention. The moment his mentor, Amir Rouhani, led Arata to Gario, the streets may as well been lined with gold. It was less lively than Suutesa, but the amount of sophisticated people were like gems on display; not that he'd have the nerve to steal from them (yet) but he was flattered to be able to walk beside them. It was here that his mentor began tempering Arata from a young age in the arts of eloquence, appraisal, and subterfuge. Amir enrolled the young man into one of the schools to further sharpen his newest "blade", one that would be more valuable than any precious metal he ever came across.
✦ [LOCKED] ✦
Years later, and he still hasn't undertaken a career change. Too used to his roguish ways, though Arata took care to become more dilgent when it came to the job. His skill was just about as sharp as his tongue, childish arrogance all but matured to more experience behind a lofty tongue. He was better at his trade yes, but his mindset still left more to be desired, and Amir knew that. 26 years was hardly young anymore, and Arata lacked the years Amir would get. The therian still had quite a ways to go...but what could Amir do to stimulate that change? Many years have passed since that fatal mistake, and while they were definitely more careful, Amir could see Arata didn't change a bit. Their intentions had never, and still never were in the right place. Quiet as Amir was, he cared for more than a pouch full of coin. He cared about his protege's safety, well being, and future. Elves live a long time, and that fox brought a bit of fire in his life.
Suffice to say it started as only a silly rumor Arata had picked up in the midst of a bustling tavern. A pair of inconspicuous looking individuals and an all too perceptive therian ear was all it took for Arata to sniff out the existence of a possible rebellion. At first it sounded boring; righteous ingrates, nobles, or ne'er-do-wells trying to do some good in the world. Right their wrongs. All a bunch of sanctimonious hogwash. But when he caught hint of a fair sum of coin being rewarded from the noble family, his ears twitched, and the fox merrily made his way back home to report his findings to his master.
Despite the large reward, Amir was unfazed, barely paying and heed nor interest to Arata's claims, to which the latter seemed offended and devastated at, "Why are you acting so coy at a time like this? You don't believe me?" Though any misconceptions were banished when his mentor simply admitted to hearing the same rumor. It had only been that, a rumor, but it would be easy to look into the truth of the matter for secret-dwellers like them. It was just that...Amir didn't think Arata had it in him. That 'holier-than-thou' attitude that rebellions like those usually inspired. It didn't suit him, didn't seem like their thing at all. "The dark horse role suits you. As much as you adore swimming in the spotlight."
Actually scoffing, he's more than offended at their confessions, looking back for a moment. Really? Did he actually seem like such a bad guy? How ironic, the only qualifications that prevent him from accepting such a fulfilling job were his own ego...and mannerisms. He's actually heartbroken his mentor thought of him as such a braggart. Oh. Arata finally realized, "Well...maybe you're right."
Amir still paid them little heed, finding more interest in some potted plant. Since when did they take up gardening? And that makes the inner teenager in him boil. Staying his tongue as it seemed to be the fox's greatest weakness, he'd hurried out of his mentor's sanctuary without another word.
A contract he couldn't accept just because of a bad attitude? HAH. He'd set them straight...he'd prove them wrong...even his mentor, who still, even now, after many years have passed, still seemed to not take him seriously. Well maybe if he put his all into this "contract" he could finally prove his worth, in more ways than one.

✦ [ R E L A T I O N S H I P S ]
[NPCS]
Amir Rouhani - Mentor and caretaker - Elf (Earth): Surprisingly enough, for all the years that Arata has spent with this enigmatic, "merciful" elf, Arata knows very little about them. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as he is constantly told Amir is reminded of his "younger, annoying self". The man shows great tact and skill in a silent, refined way; a contrast to Arata's sometimes flashy elegance. He would never admit it, but he holds Amir in high regard and is the only person Arata would ever concede to. Owes them for everything and secretly wants their praise and attention...though they rarely give it. -- "Probably really old."
[OCS]
Vera Nightingale - Allies - Elf (Nihility): Polar opposites, one boasts ideals and the other morbidly realistic cunning, they wouldn't get along were it not for Vera's childlike optimism. True, if they weren't allies he wouldn't bat an eyelash at her, finding the girl to be foolish and annoying yet begrudgingly assists her at times.
"You are either charming, tedious, or not worthy of my presence at all."
✦ [ T R I V I A ]
- Surprisingly he doesn't travel out of Gadena often, his mentor keeps Arata under his wing in case the fox decides to run off. He has made several trips to Tiocrose Isles, however. It's like candy to him
- Tends to talk in riddles and answer questions with more questions
- His occupation is a thief, but he is known to delve in more underhanded services. Very mercenary "For the right price, anything can be done."
- Due to his therian genetics, he is capable of dilating and shrinking his pupils, mimicking a doe-ish, innocent look and slits.
- Due to therian genetics, he has good sight at night, a better sense of smell and perception, and exceptional hearing (which he relies a lot on due to his blind spot)
- May or may not like red meat
- May or may not be able to swim
- May or may not be broke most of the time, if only because he is so materialistic and jewelry is pricey
- Has a personal treasure trove (or wants one)
- His belongings/accessories are a mixture of stolen goods, loot, and bought
- Strategic and more of a brainy person than brawny, Arata will always rely on speed and dirty tactics to subdue a stronger opponent. He hardly picks fights he cannot win, but that doesn't stop his mouth from running
- Contrary to his rugged lifestyle he has elegant mannerisms
- Bad habit of smoking, drinking, gambling, and even stealing
- He will always gravitate to what's new, interesting, and he gets something out of it
- Always cheats at gambling; hardly gets caught; a master
- His arcana is the Devil
- Fighting style
Notable physical traits:
• Due to a large diet of fruits and keeping hydrated, Arata has surprisingly healthy skin in his arid homeland. He wears eye makeup on his good eye, and his right eye is missing. There is scarring, but he covers it with the headwrap, referring to his scar as "a symbol of failure". He is above average build with a rather slender midriff.
