Arata Minami

"Minami Arata, though just call me Arata."

- Arata

Minami Arata, a second-year Kuoh Academy student and who is known throughout as the "Berserker of Kuoh" is a seventeen-year-old boy who began to summon a Devil one year prior to the start of "Stardust". He is the captain to the Boxing Club in Kuoh and though most of the members are female, the ones that had joined in hopes of romance with him already been driven off due to the amount of harsh exercise they were treated to, leaving behind a few boys and a handful of girls that actually wanted to participate in the sport they had joined.

Arata is the main protagonist of the fanfiction Stardust.

Appearance
Arata is considered a rather good looking boy with sharp red eyes and nice, soft black hair that is a bit disheveled at the sides, top, and back with the bangs falling down to his eyes, though he usually uses a black headband to keep the hair out of his eyes, which, after combing the hair, presents it as slicked back, even though the sides and back still stand up slightly. He has a fair complexion and his height is around one-hundred seventy centimeters. During a boxing match, Arata keeps his hair down, due to him using it as a sort-of "intimidation" method.

During school, Arata wears the standard uniform, which consists of a black blazer over a white dress shirt and black dress pants, with red sneakers with white on the sides. In a more casual setting, he dons a sleeveless black shirt under a red jacket that has white sleeves and a white collar that is usually let up, faded blue jeans, and the same shoes as from school.

When Arata is in the ring, he has on red boxing gloves and white boxing pants. When at school, he has on a shirt for the club activities, but when he is sparring with Koneko, he foregoes the shirt.

Personality
Arata is headstrong and a rather blunt individual. He looks at things as how they are and he says what is on his mind; he doesn't like it when people betray him and his expectations, but he can ignore it depending on their actions, even if he considers their relationship damaged. He isn't very private about his own life, but he doesn't like to mention certain parts of his past.

Arata is usually a quiet teenager, opting to think or read, but when around friends (Koneko and Yuuto) he can be more chatty than usual, though not by much. He also quite enjoys playing video games when he is not training and he loves to crush others in Super Smash Bros. such as Koneko when he taught her how to play.

At first, he didn't quite believe in the Supernatural, but after becoming bored and curious, he summoned a Devil through the use of a flyer he had been given. Afterward, he became an obstinate believer of the Supernatural Phenomenon, now knowing that Devils, Angels, Vampires, and other such monstrosities exist in the world. As a result, he became a bit cautious and is always looking around for anything that is out of order. This paranoia also led him to logically discover that Shitori Souna was also a Devil through her contact with Rias Gremory - and looking at her name, he also figured out that it might be an alias as when he pointed it out to her.

He used Rias' last name as a base - that of Gremory. From there, he concluded (without being told about it) that the last names of the High-standing members of the Devil society came from the demons listed in the Ars Goetia. As such, by looking at "Souna"'s last name, "Shitori" he simply traced the names in the Ars Goetia and figured out that she must be "Souna Sitri", however, since the name still felt off, he looked at the first name and after some time, took out the 'u' making it Sona Sitri. This shows his level of intelligence shouldn't be underestimated, as Sona also notes that his grades are among the highest in his year for a reason.

People usually see him as a very rough person and only look at him from his outside actions, such as when he beats up delinquents, thus, calling him a delinquent, which is where he gained his main nickname "Berserker of Kuoh". However, his actions around Toujou Koneko, while at first drove those who saw the two together insane in either jealousy or anger, quickly began to "sense" a type of "big brother" aura around him, which later earned him his second nickname during his second-year at Kuoh Academy.

Weaknesses

 * Himself: Arata is a normal human. Because of this fact, he can easily be killed by any powerful strike.
 * Challenges: Because of Arata's boredom, he craves a good challenge. This is shown when, instead of immediately running away from Dohnaseek, he instead attacked him. This can lead to his undoing, as it nearly did when he fought the Fallen Angel.
 * Magic: Arata doesn't possess Magical abilities and he also doesn't have long-range attacks, thus, Magic is highly effected at him when used at a distance as he cannot easily counter them.

Star Breaker
A Dragon-type Mid-tier State Change Sacred Gear, alternatively called "Heart of the Dragon". It possesses the ability to charge the wielder with every successful punch to a living organism by five percent of their base power (example; if their base is 100 then it would add 5 with each punch). It also possesses the ability to "break" through defenses, such as the enhanced body of Devils, allowing their enhanced durability to ignorable, armor such as iron, steel, or magically enhanced, and barriers.

[Star Breaker] appears on the user's arms, being that of red gauntlets covering the hands to the elbows, with black globes covering the hands. The body of the Sacred Gear is sleek and metallic-like as if it was made from metal, with a rectangular surface being held across both of the arms which holds a small white display that has black lining the edge of the interface, with white running off of it. On the face of the display, automatically resides a percentage - [0%] - which is black with a gold edge.

Weaknesses

 * Damage: Upon being damaged, Arata will automatically lose ten percent from his Sacred Gear and he will also gain a small amount of fatigue to make up for the lost energy.
 * Power: If Arata goes too far over his limit, his life energy will be exchanged for the increased amount of power and he will physically injure himself with each attack he makes (with a single punch, his veins might burst and his skin might bleed, bones would fracture and tendons would tear, for example). He will also take more damage.

Trivia

 * Arata's physical appearance is based on Red from Pokemon.
 * his name "Minami Arata" means "New or Fresh South".
 * In the cover picture of "Stardust", it pictures Arata; however, it shows Arata wearing a hat and gloves. Arata actually doesn't wear those globes and hat in the series.
 * Arata's theme is "Rise" by "State of Mind".
 * Arata's battle theme is "Battle of Providence" which appeared in Bravely Second: End Layer.
