Artaios Bordo - He/Him - Cyborg Kermode BearAn hybrid entity that is both biological and artificial, possessing mechanical parts all throughout his body.

In his day to day life, he lives with a roommate and manages a fortune-telling booth on his free time.While magical abilities aren't rare, Artaios' nature as an hybrid being is entirely unheard of.

If he has any to begin with...Whether his fate is written in the stars or in his action, Artaios will soon embark on a search for his origins and meaning in this world, and as he finds out how he came to be, he shall find himself in the tangles of a grander and much more sinister plot, endangering the very world he has come to cherish...art by @TanukiHeart on TW
