Appearance: Arcades Sabboth is a rather hard individual to describe as he is seldom seen without his signature Badge of Office Armor. His individual suit is known as "Arcades' Thorn Plate", and it lives up to its name. The armor itself appears to bear a silvery appearance with a light prismatic hue, as though it catches the light at just the right angles always. This smooth and slick appearance is broken by row upon row of sharpened points emerging in an intricate pattern. These points themselves seem to have a wicked glint on the end, as though they want to strike at people and those who know of Arcades know that this is not far from the truth. When struck hard enough the spikes send a surge of energy outward, slamming into foes that have dealt him harm. These spikes and indeed most of the joints and gaps are joined by intricate silvery wiring, further adding to the impressive grandeur of the armor. The boots and leggings of the armor are extremely built up and heavy, leaving very few openings to the degree that from neck to feet he appears almost to look like a man-sized Iron Golem. The helm of the armor (attached at the neck) bears an intricate filigree of silver all around, four spires (equally spaced around the rim of the helm so two sit above either side of the face) of metal rise in a mock crown that end in wicked points slightly above the top of the helm. The numerous spikes adorning every piece of adamantine plate is offset by the solid silver mask covering his face. This mask is completely smooth, polished to a mirror shine on the silver, and bears the rough ovoid shape of a face but lacks any feature at all. It casts back only a distorted reflection of any who look into it. Around the sides, where the mask joins with the helmet is a lacework of metal that allows his voice to pass (traditionally distorted in the Judge Armor fashion) and only a small visor slit in the mask itself allows him to see outward with startling clarity (oftentimes others can't even see the visor). His hands wear gloves of completely black reinforced leather that extend almost to his elbows, and a pair of spiked pauldrons sit atop his shoulders, each bearing an intricate silvery pattern. A long flowing cape bearing the scales of justice on its back in the colors of his new liege-lord Atarvalkkan hangs from his shoulders. If he is ever unmasked or unarmored (which is truly rare) he bears a rough and haggard appearance. Scruffy, unkempt, black hair and numerous scars depict one who has seen more battles and death than most could imagine. He is strongly built as though he could endure for days without rest and his eyes glare in a fashion to cut straight to the heart of any matter.
On his back (or being held in one hand with frightening ease) is a great axe that seems as though it should reside in the hands of an executioner. The haft is cut lengthwise in the shape of an octagon and it made of the same adamantine metal as the blade itself. The blade comes out in a wide hook-like shape that would allow one to grip the haft almost directly below the blade while the blade retains its immense size and length, eventually coming so close as to almost rejoin the haft at the very tip of its bottom point. The axe is immense in size, just as large as Arcades himself when carried on his back at a slightly diagonal angle. The axe has been dubbed "Bravura" because it possesses such reckless abilities that only the truly fearless can wield it. The weapon sheds a soft glow of light that Arcades uses to avoid having to bother with torches or lanterns. It also allows any whom he is judging to clearly see and be intimidated by him, an effect Arcades enjoys evoking.
This weapon, together with his armor, creates a daunting appearance of a solid metal soldier of uncaring determination. He marches straight into battle and wields his axe with deadly precision even as he shrugs off multiple blows. While not in combat he walks with an air of remarkable confidence that soundly reinforces the image of a Judge of the law and top servant of those he names superior.
