Overall Appearance Argos normally wears his military uniform. He stands at proper attention, and his size might make him intimidating. While on the job, he is all business, tending to keep a straight face and keeping focused on the task at hand. Around friends though, he is relaxed, and outside of uniform, he is much more friendly. He has a silver pocket watch that he keeps in his left pocket, regardless of what he's wearing. When out of uniform, Argos tends to wear a T-shirt and shorts, even in some of the colder weather. Cold weather doesn't bother him at all.
Unusual features Argos has a couple of scars on his arms and hands, from training and from when he was younger, but nothing serious. In his ears are several piercing: a stud in each ear lobe, an industrial in his left ear, and several cartilage studs in his right ear.
Superpowered Abilities Argos is an Alchemist, who specializes in Water Transmutations. He can transmute water from a liquid, to a solid, to a gas. He typically uses this to freeze nearby water into ice, to use ice like blades, or to move the ice to form a wall, or for opponents to slip on. With enough water near by, he can do much more, using spikes of ice, lashes of water, large walls of ice, or even encasing enemies in ice.
Weaknesses Alchemy takes time to complete the transmutations, so interrupting the attempt before its completed is one. Without transmutation circles, or a surface to draw a circle on, he is unable to use Alchemy. Argos does not know how to swim.
Equipment Argos has a locket that he always wears, with his personal transmutation circle on it. Inside is a picture of his mother. A hand gun and a knife for personal defense, if needed, are always close by. He also carries around two canteens, where ever he goes, though he only ever drinks out of one...
History Argos' mother had an affair with a State Alchemist by the name of Wylie when he was deployed near her town. Drachma by birth, the Amestrians weren't too fond of her, but Wylie befriended her, and eventually bedded her. She had a son from the union, though the State Alchemist was never deployed near her again.
Growing up Argos was a book worm, and not liked by the other kids. He was a loner, and would often study and read books more advanced then kids his age were interested in. His friends were few, but loyal.
Around the age of 16, he started to experiment with some of the books he found in the library. He wasn't very good at first, but he was practicing with alchemy, and learning from the books, though slowly.
When he turned twenty, he would travel from his home town, towards Central in search of more Alchemical information. Once he had gotten his basics down, he felt like he had a good talent for it, and wanted to learn more. It would take him another five years before he would pass the exam, most of that time spent studying and training up his alchemy. He had only recently passed his exam, when Furher Bradley was assassinated, and control of the country was changed to the parliament. Argos took the rank demotion, and went through officer training to stay a part of the Amestrian military. He has yet receive a deployment or command, since he just recently completed his schooling.
Additional information Argos is a 1st Lieutenant in the Amestrian Military.
Quirky Details Argos whistles tunelessly when he is nervous, and plays with his pocket watch when impatient, flipping it open and closed, constantly checking the time.
