Name: Ark Beruga Yoshi von Kippo, Guardian of the Ebony Lance.

Birthplace: Kippo Village, Pandora, Fa'diel.

Current Residence: 45 Recugrian Street, Yoshibane, South Yoshi's Island, Yoshi Archipelago, Yamauchi.

Age: 16 on Fa'diel, probably 18 or 19 on Yamauchi.

History: Hatched a prodigy, Ark was ahead school-wise of his older brother, Lich. He was swept away in a flash flood, and lived in a series of underground caves. He lived on anything edible, and when his robots - his great interest - were floated down the river by his brother, he set about re-arranging them to suit his needs. As he grew, he was tutored by the Dark Lich, an undead sorceror who had sold his soul to the underworld to gain immortality. Dark ingrained into Ark the concept that Lich had betrayed him, bringing up feelings of outrage and anger that lived with him until he was re-united. The Time Bender demon, Pseudo Havering, came to him as the time for his arrival on Zolott drew nearer. He gave him a Spear of Darkness and a robotics laboratory. After Lich showed his love for him, he joined up with him. With Havering's fall, he was sent back to Kippo Village after many years of being presumed dead. He traveled to Yamauchi and joined with Lich again. He set up a robotics laboratory beneath Lich's house, and has spent the past five years trying to develop an AI robotic unit. When not working there, he has traveled around Yamauchi and Fa'diel.
On Lich's insistence, he went to the Palace of Darkness outside of Mandala, in the Lofty Mountains of Fa'diel, to show his worthiness with the Spear. It was bestowed the name of the Ebony Lance, and he has just been ordained its Guardian.
He cannot remember much about Zolott - he remembers time away from his caves and meeting Lich before suddenly appearing in Kippo Village.

Physical Description: 5'10", magenta top-skin, white underskin, quite thin. Has five blond bangs that droop around his head - wears a red headband to keep them out of his eyes. Wears an emerald pendant on a gold chain, a gift from Lich - the stone has been discovered to contain magic powers, but they have yet to be unlocked.
He does not have a set wardrobe - will wear almost anything and everything.

Anything Else: Ark suffers from acute acrophobia - fear of heights.
