Bio:Son of Edward Arcaines, the wealthiest man in Phados. His grandfather was Ark Arcaines, a famous well respected swordsman who dissapeared not long after Max was born. Though he never met his grandfather, his father told him much about him, and it inspired him to become a knight of Phados. His father liked the idea, but did not want him to go through the stage of page, squire and knight, because he was a noble. The wealthiest man in Phados. He found it insulting for his son to be shoveling shit and scrubbing stables. So he proposed to King Alfred that he receive private training from a knight, and when he comes of age, to let him become a knight. King Alfred, of course refused because he didn’t want to waste his time. But Edward Arcaines knew his king all too well. He knew he was almost as wealthy as the king himself, and proposed that he pay him handsomely. King Alfreds greed got the best of him, and he accepted. To make sure he did not dissapoint him, King Alfred gave Max private training lessons with Cecil himself, captain of the Phados guard. Up to the age of sixteen he trained under Cecil, receiving good reports, despite how strict Cecil was. His father said it was not just the training under one of the strongest known warriors. Max’s grandfathers swordsmanship was said to have rivaled Cecils own. And swordsmanship ran in his blood. But King Alfreds greed was boundless. When Max was at the age of sixteen, King Alfred ordered fifty soldiers to personally burn the Arcaines manor to the ground and kill everyone there, and take the money. He had developed a taste for Arcaines wealth. Max was out at the time, when he got back, a knight who helped burn the manor said it was bandits. No one could say otherwise because all witnesses were dead. He was denied further training by Cecil, because he no longer had money to pay. He knew all along, deep down that it was Alfred, and not the bandits. But he couldn’t do a thing. Nobody beleived he was of the Arcaines family. He was forced to wander, being laughed at when he said his name, and vowing never to return to Phados until his strength rivaled that of Cecil himself, and he would have his revenge. As he traveled he continuosly met strange people, they all helped him, and were the only people wo showed him kindness. One was a peddler who gave him food for free, another was an old washe dup knight who taught him swordsmanship, another was an old man who owned an inn who let him rest for free. They all seemed to have something in common, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it...

Weapon:Tempest(sword type, wind elemental)

Info:Light in weight and razor sharp, yet capable of holding a normal blade as well, this blade could be used by a child, and could be deadly in the hands of a skilled swordsman.

Attributes:Light weight, randomly casts "Razor wind"

Appearance:A green-bladed sword that looks worn due to its age if you look at the blade itself, but yet, it seems to gleam with a sort of brilliance. It's guard and pommel are a polished gold, and are engraved with art, the guard has the symbol of the "wind spear" pointing towards eachother towards a large emerald in the center of it, and its pommel is ridged and has a saphire on the end. its handles grip is soft and gives the impression of gripping air when held. It's blade is about 4-feet in length and is slightly curved, making its razor edge ideal for slashing, but can be used well for piercing if executed with skill. Though no one can see without looking closely, it seems to have some sort of runes engraved on it, though it is impossible to deceipher them without being fluent.

History: Tempest is an elvish sword, but it was forged by a dwarven craftsman. the way this came upon happening is a very long story, so I'll just give the basic outlines. This was actually the sword owned by Maxs grandfather. As most of you may know, dwarves and elves never usually liked eachother that much in legends. This was the same old story. Dwarves and elves feuding for so long they don't remember what started it. But Max's grandfather, Ark finally ended the feud after a lot of trouble trying to make each chief talk it out, which never works, but eventually he found the base problem and ended up solving it through words and sword. To thank him, the dwarves crafted the most beautiful sword they could craft, and the elves, using their ancient magic, enchanted the sword with a wind spirit, saying it symbolized how Ark seemed to come and go with great speed and silence like the wind. Ark left and it had been his sword that he used by his side right to the end when he mysteriously dissapeared. The dwarf and elf feud soon came back after Ark left, in an argument over who did the better end of making the sword. It was said to have dissapeared with Ark..
