Arkadi is, was, and forever will be one of nature’s coppers. He was born and raised in the 100 kingdoms and went on to become a successful militiaman in his home city. He was effective, a little jaded, but devoted to his job. It was when he was tracking a serial murderer stalking the night streets of his city when the Exaltation came on him. A series of seeming coincidences brought him to the killer’s doorstep just as the vicious murderer was arriving home, fresh from another night’s morbid work. The two fought, and in the end, it was Arkadi who remained alive.\\ Since then, he has been found by his fellow Sidereals and spirited to Yu-Shan. He worked for a time as an agent in the Internal Affairs division of Heaven, finding corruption, demon worship, and outright criminality with a dazzling success rate.\\ Too successful it, seemed, as he was drummed out of its ranks by some higher-ups who obviously did not want the extent of their fall from grace found.\\ Since then, he’s operated most commonly with the Celestial Lions in heaven, tracking down rogue gods in both Heaven and on the face of Creation.\\ The Exaltation weighs heavily on him, however. He is a lonely soul, and far prefers the company of mortals to most gods, considering them haughty, arrogant, frivolous and overall, just a bunch of bloody damned arseholes. As a result, he is the silent partner in a small bar in a neighbouring kingdom to his place of origin, frequented mainly by the local militia. He barely breaks even with it, but it serves as a refuge from the gaudiness, excessive bureaucracy, and utter disdain he holds the city of Yu-Shan in.\\ Personality-wise, Arkadi is more than a little jaded. He loathes bureaucracies, especially the ability for the ‘haves’ no escape any punishment for serious crimes. He is rather no-nonsense as well. He descends into occasional bouts of melancholy, as he sincerely feels that Mars made a mistake in selecting him to be one of her Chosen. He generally feels he’d have been much better suited as a Solar or Outcaste. He does have an honest streak a mile wide, however. He tends to ignore the little crimes that everyone commits, but stands firm against the major ones, refusing to be bribed or swayed in his pursuit of those.\\ Appearance-wise, Arkadi keeps himself neat, but unexceptional. His clothing, save for his armour, tends to blend in. Everything he wears is function first, appearance second. As a result, compare dot the average denizens of Yu-Shan, he tends to look somewhat dingy and grubby. His equipment is always spotlessly maintained, however, because he knows that any article of it might be vitally important at any given times, especially in the more violent aspects of his job.
