Character Information -Background Story-
A deal from the past, one for the future.
Early Life
Born into the Fell family, as the second male heir in a long line of female heirs, Arth was a normal child. One who took an interest in doing his duty for the people. Leading him to be surprisingly active in drills and learning how to interact with the populace at a young age. Both his mother and father were happy to see him growing into a fine young man.
This lead to him meeting another noble, the youngest Daughter, one who he would become betrothed to many years later. The faint roots of love between them growing. That was his life until...
On the day of becoming befitting to inherit the full title of the Fell family, a horrific event happened. His parasite would have taken root within his soul. The Deal of the past now coming back for its due, as a devil finally had a befitting body to take as its own. Atleast that's what it thought it could try.
However it could not even achieve that and instead had influenced the young boy's mind and body and ignited the magical source within his blood. Causing his form to rapidly change for a moment as his mind went berserk. Barely only contained and calmed down by his mother, a direct heir of the Fell family using their faint connection to magic to make him pass out.
His father horrified by the idea that his son was a monster, leaving his family behind with only just the mother to handle the situation on her own. She took the time to educate her son on their history, or from what she knew from her grandfather and his own studies. Some time after, Arth was gifted a suit of armour, and a grimoire that handled his Great Grandfathers studies, simply called the "Fell Grimoire."
Some time after this ordeal, Arth would also come to own a Radiant blade of red, that was gifted to him by the betrothed, unaware that the blade had a great dampening affect on his mind, allowing him to control himself better and manage the ever constant devilkin influence on him.
Personal Skills: Swordsman Style: Raw
Though not having completed his full training, Arth had learned to adapt the basics that he learned to come up with a very offensive style that relies mostly on minimising the damage he will end up taking. Most strikes that would strike true, will instead only graze him instead, but this can lead to him tiring himself out and or being bled out.
This style specifically relies on him using the Raw strength he had gained from his times as taken over by the Devil Parasite, He's skilled enough to handle fighting most wild or magical creatures, but when it comes to a truly skilled opponent that understands how to fight, he will be at a major disadvantage as this style will leave him open too often.
Unrefined Magic: Devil
Due to the nature of Arth's situation, his potential for magic was forcibly brought out, but due to the unrefined nature of it, and him not truly understanding it, his most effective usage is self enhancement and close quaters explosive releases of it. Whatever element of magic this may take is completely random, so it leaves him having to adjust to it as necessary.
Armored Brawling: Bare knuckles
While Arth may have had incomplete training in the blade, he did however end up learning how to grapple, brawl and fight unarmed, as while he is always wearing his armour, it allows him to brawl with the knuckles on it.
Since it is built to allow him more agility than full plate, he will use the extra weight of his armour and raw strenght to subdue his opponents, while using the armour to deflect the blows to his vitals.
"The one who realises that the sword duel has become a grapple first, will not die."
Learned Skills: Survival in the Wilderness
Having spent a long time in the wilderness has made Arth learn common traits of fauna and flora, what ones would work for food, medicine or otherwise along with finding sources of water.
Tracking
Arth had learned how to hunt in the wild, whether it be for animals, or something else, he will have an easier time with his own personal experience. Leading him to find what he needs within an acceptable timeframe.
Repressed Social Conventions
While Arth was initially very social and charismatic to people in his past, recently with him living mostly in the wilderness and actively avoiding people for fear of his own situation, he has unlearned certain ways to interact with people commonly, making him instead choose to be quiet and cool to many. Instead preferring action to words now. This does however lead to him coming off as menacing to others from the way he is dressed and acts.
Passive Magic negation
Probably his most impressive learned skill, with the manifestation of his latent magic, he did refine some aspect of it to allow him to endure and resist, and even negate certain spells or magical incantations. This also does infact affect his own Devil Parasite influence, dampening it more when combined with his sword.
This can at times play at odds with his Enhancement magic but he has learned to overexert that enhancement to allow it to apply.
Impressively strong spells can however break the negation but only the strongest of casters would realise that he has a passive magic negation.
Goal and Personality A return to the normal
His main goal will always be to figure out a way to tear out the parasite within him. Whether that be through some ritual, some deal, or anything.
Even the faintest hint that he might have a way to pull that damned thing out, he will chase after it. This does lead to him constantly moving around, and doing his best to avoid people unless he needs to interact with them. (Like buying supplies when he runs out)
This goal is a fervent goal that once he achieves it, he will return to his family home, to his mother, his betrothed, and hopefully live peacefully till he passes.
Personality:
Arth seems initially standoffish, more preferring to be alone and left to his own devices. Merely a passerby that you don't think much of.
Though when one manages to prove that he can find some usage in them, whether it be for their job or otherwise, he can open up and talk to them on a personal level. Though this can lead to him trying to distance himself even further from those he ends up close to.
The simple reason is that with the Devil parasite forever whispering within his mind, showing him horrific things he will do in a nightmarish sleep realm, (meaning he's always groggy but he manages) he truly wants to protect those from himself.
He's really just a lonely soul who, when opening up is a happy go lucky fellow who tries his best.

Hello! Thank you for reading this far, I've been on this site a little bit, and felt the want to create an attempt at an OC on it properly.
This has been a character I've been working on for quite some time. I'm actually pretty shy when talking to people, so the character does act much like how I do....Shy!
Additional Notes: The 3 Main images (not the background moon image) are all owned by me, I have paid for them to be drawn out. So I hold the rights to them all. Do not use them for Edits or anything akin to that. Thank you.
I do have a discord, and if we both get along in roleplay and/or banter, then I may ask if that is an option.
//You're the only reason I really came back on. I've been a bit tied up with work so I do apologize. Thanks for the kind words though. I'm sure you can tell I'm having just as much fun writing with you. In fact I have a draft for my response from the last time I was on lol. That's why I had to come to the comments. We can surely exchange Discords if you like. Mine is
