Anthrax

Anthrax is an Arcane Star Warrior that operates from Polaris.

Appearance
Anthrax is a large but otherwise normal looking rat, although still far smaller than most other species. His right hear has several holes and notches. His left ear is missing entirely. He has several small blotchy death marks symetrically around both eyes and his back. Similar marks exist on his shoulders and hind legs, but are concealed with stardust. The mark on his back tends to be armored with crystal. He wears a dark cape with his emblem displayed in the center, and wields a weapon with a blade formed from his power.

Powers
His unique arcane power grants him access to all seven elements on creation. The caveat being that his current emotional state determines which elements will manifest. Joy results in light. Anger manifests fire. Surprise brings thunder. Sadness pours water. Contempt commands earth. Disgust brings wind. Fear begets darkness. His star sign results in improved strength.

Personality
Stoic.

Story So Far
When he was alive, Anthrax lived as a nameless rat. He observed a human with a disease spreading across his body. Believing him to be a monster, Anthrax bit the man, and became infected himself.

He was ascended by Savra, and eventually given the name Weil. With Savra too busy to properly mentor him, he became Skepsi's pupil instead. The two former enemies became best friends, and considered themselves brothers. Following Skepsi's obliteration at the prison, Weil escaped along with Sylvain and Merideth to Royal. There, they lived with and learned from Gaia, Denny, and Anthy. Realizing that Savra hadn't put much thought into Weil's name, they went ahead and offered him a new name, Anthrax, which he graciously accepted. Anthy also tailored a cape for him, which he is never without. Shortly before leaving Royal, Anthy made Anthrax aware of his arcane gift, and used his powers to temporarily suppress Anthrax's emotions until he could learn to control them. At this time, Cosmos granted him his red cosmic coloring, covered some of his death marks, and grew him in size slightly.

Upon returning to Polaris, Anthrax confronted Savra in battle, but before the battle could be decided, Savra vanished. Anthrax went on to become a member of the Arcane Council, and mentor pupils of his own.
