STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, AND PERSONALITY
Tactics- When in a combat scenario, and especially while leading, Arcus is very organized with the way attacks are carried out. While in a leading role, everything he does has a certain pattern to it. In short, he is excellent at organizing. This can be exploited of course, and there are flaws in his tactics, even more so to those who've seen him fight before. But altogether, he keeps things strong and connected. However, he tends to disregard surprise attacks, never seeing them as a threat. This has been a huge problem in the past.
Combat Skill- Arcus is an expert of close-range melee combat, having dispatched even some skilled Jedi in his younger years, hitting hard with quick practiced strikes. He tends to favor shorter bladed weapons more, however, which has led to some dangerous encounters in his life. When it comes to ranged combat, he is perfectly capable of firing a blaster, although he prefers things that don't require too much range or a heavy rate of fire.
Personality- One of the best ways to describe Arcus is quietly zealous. He tends to be stoic in appearance, quiet, and reserved. But he is a staunch practitioner of his clan traditions and keeps them alive through his actions. He values personal trophies, preferring them over any real wealth. He is both moral and immoral, believing that defenseless people should never be harmed but at the same time, believing that torture is the best form of negotiation. Many in his past have described him as enigmatic, however, this isn't true. Like his combat method, there is a pattern, one you can find if you look towards his clan's tenets. Unfortunately, his clan is long dead, which means it's become rather hard to discern what is a tenet, and what is just him being malicious.
APPEARANCE
He typically wears a personalized suit of beskar armor, one often used by members of his clan. There are a few out-of-place pieces here and there, ones that have been tacked on over the years. Strapped to his back, is a short vibroblade, as well as a bowcaster. Underneath the helmet, he is tan, with an angular face. He has light stubble and short hair that isn't quite a buzzcut.
BIOGRAPHY
Clan Gladia. Nomadic, organized, traditionalists, but most importantly, for hire. Clan Gladia was a small, not very well-known Mandalorian clan that appeared somewhere in the northern parts of the galaxy. The exact year has never been discovered, and many think that its members don't even know the year. In truth, they don't. One of the popular theories in the clan was that it was somehow an off-shot of Vizsla, although that is probably unlikely given the clan's nature. They traveled much of the galaxy, always together, doing mercenary work for many organizations. They were characterized by their armor, which coupled with their methods greatly. They were skilled close-quarters fighters, using the defensive capabilities of their beskar to strengthen that skill. They eventually died out, however, due to being hunted down for some of their unsavory acts.
To put it bluntly, they were ritualistic killers. In combat, they were a force to be reckoned with, sure, but it's what came after that was truly terrifying. They never took prisoners, however, they did take trophies, many in fact. In their small society, status was determined by trophies, and to them, the force rewarded the strong.
During the waning years of Clan Gladia's life is where we start. Taken in as a foundling by a Gladia Mandalorian named Magis, Arcus was taught to uphold the clan's tenets strictly. He was a natural in his father's eyes, taking to the lifestyle with ease. The proudest moment in Magis' life was their first kill together, a Jedi padawan from Corellia. Time passed though, as it tends to, and Magis grew old. Arcus stayed with his mentor and father for as long as possible, but eventually, he too passed. Taking his mentor's armor, Arcus set out onto the galaxy as a mercenary. He quickly made a name for himself in the small sector of space he worked in, gaining a small reputation. He moved from there around his mid-twenties, traveling wider places in the galaxy. In his late twenties, he took part in the Bryn'Adul wars as a hire-on.
During that time, his leading ability was truly able to shine. After the Bryn'Adul affair, he took on the role of leading force for many makeshift brigades, typically in criminal organizations. He grew tired of that too, however, he did have a passion for leading. He let him learn more of the galaxy and it gave him a way to tell people of his clan, in that way, they lived on through more than just him.
Going into his thirties, he set on being a bounty hunter, which is where you'll find him today, after all these years. He hops from planet to planet, no ship, only the things on his back, taking trophies.
