Character Info: Arthur is a seasoned veteran of the Kemiya game and as such has become very good at it. He has matured from a young hot headed, arrogant Kemiya to a wise, patient and calm. He is a very smart Kemiya and applies such knowledge to his combat tactics. He is not a violent man, only when the situation demands it. To those he has no quarrel with he does not harm. When in battle he is ruthless to his opponents, maintaining his brutality from his youth, believing mercy has no place to enemies. While not classed as a hunter he enjoys battle. He can heal almost any wound within 48 hours

Powers: 

Titanium Manipulation: He can manipulate a piece of Titanium around his wrist into almost any shape or form he desires as long as its not too big or small due to the alchemic symbol of Titanium on his upper chest. This `Personal Piece` is considered due to his power of control. He can maintain focus on a maximum of 2 different Titanium pieces by touch, or one Titanium piece though sight and make it near unbreakable by magical or physical means unless the touch or focus are broken, or if a force over 55 tons is applied. He can't make his Titanium any mechanical weapon or any object that requires non Titanium components, like a lighter.

Titanium Creation:  He can also create Titanium from all solid matter, due to the transmutation circles on his palms. Metals are the easiest forms of matter to transmute and control.

Soul Sensing/Feeling: Arthur can sense the souls of other people to tell if they are weak or strong. He can sense other magic users and other Kemiya’s. This unique ability allows a Kemiya to find his destined apprentice, one who has a dormant Kemiya ability. Arthur has advanced his ability to be able to feel the emotions of another person like an empathic and even see into a person's soul, much like a telepath can see into a person’s mind. He can literally enter the world of another person’s soul, shaped by their emotions. This ability takes time and is not suitable in a combat situation and is only possible with the recipients consent.

Chaos Darkness: has the ability to give up control of his body to his inner darkness, and be granted more power but his consciousness will be dominated by the pure evil soul within him. He can regain control within a certain time limit. While in this form he will fight like a berserker, be able to ignore all wounds given to her and be temporarily immune from telepathy. The longer he stays in this form the harder it will be for him to return to her original form and if he does, the pain from wounds caused will hit him at once

Fog Screen: Arthur's special ability is activated when he spins his sword over his head at a high speed. He is able to create a fog screen that drowns out a Kemiya’s sensing abilitiy but does not negate all other senses.

Other Powers: Other Powers: Like all Kemiya’s Arthur can use alchemy not only to create and manipulate metals but to break apart almost any solid material by severing the molecular bonds. Arthur can also exhert his spiritual power in the area around him. Those near him will feel a great pressure on their bodies making it hard to breathe or even stand and given the strength of Arthur's spiritual pressure he could near incapacitate an average person. This is mainly used as an intimidation tactic as it is not painful, just uncomfortable. Given Arthur's ability to transmute materials he can touch an object and know its exact composition and molecular structure so long as the elements are man made Fighting Style: Arthur's style has developed his style from his youth, starting off as a very hard hitting attacker, making continuous strikes to overwhelm his opponents. Now Arthur, like most seasoned veteran Kemiya’s prefer to stay on the defence. He will often make a solid block and redirect an opponents weapon and follow up with a direct stab at his opponent, ensuring his body is out of way. He does not often slash his opponents, preferring to stab, head on. He occasionally uses his old tactics of constant attacking, mainly as a diversionary tactic, or to fool an opponent

History: 

From a Cold Land

Arthur was born into a Fishing family to Henry and Kyrie Solberg. Henry was one of the best fishermen in the city and by far one of the most profitable as well. Kyrie mostly took care of Arthur who had aspirations to follow in his fathers footsteps. Arthur was already an expert fly fisher at aged 7. When Arthur was 8 he travelled with his parents on holiday, in Austria, on a skiing holiday. 2 Kemiya’s were fighting on the mountain and caused an avalanche. Arthur and his parents tried to ski down the slope but were caught in the Avalanche. The winner of the Kemiya’s fight got there in time to save Arthur. The Kemiya’s name was Jason Wilcox. Jason took Arthur to Denmark, training him in the ways of the Kemiya.

Heating it up

Arthur passed his release fight after 6 years then set off on his way. He first headed north to his home, to claim what he could of his parents. He travelled south to Oslo, taking on and defeating his first opponent but barely. He travelled south to Germany arriving in Bonn earning his 2nd victory. He kept moving south to Italy, adding 3 more Kemiya’s totalling 5 by the time he was 16 establishing himself as a rising star in Europe. Arthur headed to France taking on a Kemiya in the Loire Valley. It was here he accidentally cut himself with his own personal piece, while in transmuting his weapon, transmuting his soul into his blood.

Becoming the Hybrid

Arthur came to Ireland in May 1991. He met a young girl named Jenna Fitzroy an American student studying in Dublin in 1992. Arthur was smitten with Jenna and spent a full day with her, culminating in a passionate night which resulted in her baring a Kemiya son Bernard Fitzroy. Arthur left quickly before anything could progress. He stayed in Ireland for another year and had an affair with an Irish girl named Tessa Harrington which resulted in Arthur’s second child being born named Matthew Harrington. Arthur left Ireland then headed to America arriving in Washington adding 1 more to his name. He travelled north to New York in 1993, taking on another Kemiya in the middle of a building fire. Arthur moved out of New York due to lack of competition, arriving in Vermont.

'''Arriving Stateside

Arthur fought his next battle in Yellowstone Park, amongst the Geysers against a Kemiya named Charlie. It was here that Arthur first encountered his darkness. Arthur regained control but was the winner. Out of respect for his opponent and the fact that he didn't win the fight on his own, he postponed the fight. Arthur travelled up the west coast all the way to Seattle, only taking on 3 Kemiya’s bringing his total to 10 while fighting to hold back his darkness.

Through the Darkness to Light

He met a Kemiya named Katherine at the Pompeys Pillar National Monument in Montana when he was 20. She helped him control his darkness but after the fight Arthur attacked her but spared her. He moved north to Canada taking on 2 Kemiya’s in a 5 year stretch before moving unto Japan sitting on a total of 12. He stayed there for another 5 years taking on and defeating another 2 Kemiya’s. In 2004 when Arthur was 30 he headed south to Indonesia and fought a Kemiya there. The power from the fight itself caused the India Ocean Earthquake and lasted close to 3 hours. Arthur was beaten to a pulp but he was able to walk away. Arthur returned to America and travelled across the country, ending up in New York in 2011 with a total of 17 kills

Parenthood

In 2012 Arthur was in Mexico City. Maurice had realized how Bernard Fitzroy has come to be and contacted Arthur to confirm his whereabouts in 1984. Arthur told him he was in Boston, confirming Maurice's suspicions that Bernard was Arthur's son. Arthur himself was suspicious of his reason for calling but it wasn't until Bella Midnight called Arthur to tell him the reason. Arthur fled Mexico City and headed to Israel. In 2013, Arthur was in India. He fought a Kemiya on the roof of a train but ended up knocking his opponent into the river they crossed. He then moved north through China and into Japan in early 2014. He came across another Kemiya, fighting in the snow earning another kill to his name. He then travelled through Russia when he realized he could have had another son. Maurice confirmed that Matthew is Irish and was born when Arthur was in Ireland in 1991. Maurice was curious how Arthur was able to pass on his power but even Arthur wasn't sure himself. Arthur stayed in the town of Troitsk to remain hidden, where he stayed for 3 years.

Out of Hiding

Arthur had received word that Bernard was out looking for him. He headed south to Turkey and passed through Istanbul then to Milan where Bernard found him. The two Kemiya's talked but agreed to remain apart. Arthur was happy to see his son even if he didn't think he would have been. Arthur then travelled around Europe in 2018, killing another Kemiya but fighting many non fatal battles. He even travelled to England to attend the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Merkle. He didn't stay around England for too long as he headed to Greece and fought another Kemiya amongst bush fires. Arthur then travelled to Egypt down the Nile River then to Lagos in Nigeria. Arthur then headed across the Atlantic to Argentina, staying there until 2020. He left Argentina in early 2021, returning to the United States
