“One: Never accept less than 1,000 mira an hour.
Two: Complicated matters only.
Three: Only eat sweets once per day.
Four: Sleep whenever you can.
Five: A hot morning shower and a dip in the sauna are blessings to oneself.”
— The Five Laws of a Spriggan
Van Arkride (ヴァン・アークライド)[1] is a spriggan and the founder of the Arkride Solutions Office. He is the main protagonist of Trails through Daybreak and Trails through Daybreak II.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Van is a young man with blue eyes and dark bluish-black hair styled into a spiky, swept-back style with a long fringe. He wears in the fall and winter a long cobalt jacket with a fleece lined collar, two front pockets and leather patches on the shoulder. The jacket's sleeves are partly rolled up, revealing a single unique red band worn on the left wrist. Van also wears a red shirt under a grey vest with a shorten centered zipper. He wears black dark trousers, two belts and blue-grey loafers. Around his neck, Van wears a dog tag along a cord and leather strap. On his right ear, a small ear ring can be seen. At his waist, he wears a two-part leather sword belt for his weapon. The belt consists of a main grey part at the waist and a left side hanging brown part for his weapon.
In the warmer seasons, Van replaces his jacket and most of his attire, but keeps the same style (ear ring, thin jacket, red inner shirt, light color top, light-grey trousers, brown loafers and a brown sword belt). He also wears a dark leather glove on his right hand and a metal bangle on his left, replacing his red band on his wrist. His dog tag necklace was replaced for an unknown reason.
Van is armed since S.1205 with a Stun Caliber[JP 1], a long-blunt weapon resembling a Chinese jian sword breaker, but with a trigger three-hand hilt and no sharp edges. The blade portion of the stun caliber is the main module partitioned into segments, and there is a blue gem in the sub module installed into its pommel. This gem is part of its orbal energy function and the blade is durable enough to resist a physical blow from Kasim Al-Fayed's Buster Lancer. The Stun Caliber is a provided by M.T.S.C. to Van on a tester contract with instructor guidance by Kasim Al-Fayed and customer service by Risette Twinings. By spring of S.1209, the stun calibur has become a medium for Van to perform higher orbal attacks after partially awakening his true power in December S.1208.
Personality[]
“You know full well I'm not like the cops or the bracers. I do things my own way.
And that way isn't black, but it definitely ain't white either. Mine's like the color of a dark blue sky just before dawn.”
— Van's own description of his methodology
While Van comes off as dry and pragmatic, he tries not to be insincere and is not bad at looking out for others. He has contact with people in various industries and backgrounds due to his work, both those who work in normal society and the underworld. This extends to having a wide range of personal connections, but also a side that does not allow people to get too attached to him.[2]
Although he began working as a spriggan almost by sheer coincidence, he seems comfortable with its way of life, and even though he complains when he has to deal with bad jobs, he still makes sure to handle it.[3] Van maintains a strong code of ethics, refusing to take jobs from those he deems too corrupt or acting in bad faith, and willing to compromise for those in sincere need.
Van was very reluctant to take on part-timers as he mainly prefer working alone, expressing anxiety and displeasure over costs and the threat to his lifestyle. He gets annoyed whenever he is forced to take them under his wing, until he ultimately accepts it.
Van is an avid connoisseur of all things relating to sweets, and few can match his expertise and passion for it. He has a rather sweet tooth and easily expresses joy when eating sweets. His love for sweets is so great that some customers who have hired Van would use rare delicacies of sweets as a form of payment, although Van would try to deny that he doesn't accept the request just because he was given sweets. Another great passion of his lies in the world of cars, where Van enthusiastically makes modifications and upgrades to his own vehicle, preferring the Ingert brand. His car modification passion makes him participate in illegal fighting rings to fund it. He is also very fond of baths and saunas. He even watches mainstream films in his rare open free times, mostly featured films.
Background[]
Van Arkride was an orphan who lived in an orphanage of Oración, Calvard. He became childhood friends with heiress Elaine Auclair and scholar René Kincaid. Lacking any record of family, Van took on the surname 'Arkride' from the then administrator of the orphanage who originally held the name. At 7 years old in S.1191, he was adopted following pressure and interference from Edmond Auclair, Elaine's father, who disapproved of the boy and his relationship with his daughter. Although Edmond claims ignorance, the adopters were members of the D∴G cult and Van was subjected to various painful, traumatizing, but mostly non-lethal experiments. It was during these experiments that the cult realized Van possessed a certain "diabolic core" that had resided within him from birth and had it extracted from him by unknown means. When Gerard Dantès learned of this, he used his position to have the diabolic core taken into his possession.
Following these events, the simultaneous raids on the cult by an international group headed by Cassius Bright and Ouroboros resulted in the all-but-downfall of the cult and Van's escape. Gunther Barkhorn is suggested as being personally involved with Van's emancipation. At 14 years old in S.1198, Van was finally freed from the cult's clutches. In S.1200, he transferred to Aramis Academy in Edith, reuniting with his two childhood friends. He was a member of the student council, and was the obvious pick for the new vice-president when the incumbent Elaine was elected the president in the autumn of his 2nd school year. Following her election, Van dropped out from Aramis unexpectedly, leaving nothing but sparse notes for his childhood friends.
Before becoming a spriggan, Van was found wandering aimlessly in Calvard by Barkhorn. Barkhorn instructed him in the Kunlun style of martial arts until S.1203. He later heard of Barkhorn's death in the Nord Highlands, but Van did not seek out his fellow disciples because of his hidden status.
After his training, Van returned to the capital and established his spriggan business. He relied heavily on Dingo Brad during his early days and viewed the man as an 'elder brother' type mentor. Due to his reliable side and humanity towards his clients, the young spriggan has amassed a large network of contacts: from Calvard's intelligence sector and underworld, to secret or renown groups beyond borders such as Ouroboros' Enforcers and bracers.
In S.1203, Van, who was early in his spriggan career at the time, met and befriended a young Renne in Edith, having been tipped off to her location by Joerg Rosenberg. At the time, Renne was being searched for by Novartis after having left Ouroboros, but Van gave her a place to hide and threw off the tracking. His simple kindness gave the young girl hope for herself, and also played a role in her going to Crossbell..
By S.1205, Van undertook training with M.T.S.C. This involved sparring with Kasim Al-Fayed. He also serves as an external tester for Marduk's Combat Research Department through his weapon stun caliber and holo core, Mare. Risette Twinings has acted as his service concierge for this time period, and he is responsible for sending her his reports on the equipment tests. They never met in person during this time, and always communicated remotely, despite having mutual acquaintances.
In S.1206, Van met Walter Kron the Direwolf, his client at the time. An encounter with a Panzer Soldat along the road resulted in Walter single-handedly throwing Van's first car and completely totalling it. While the result was a combative success, Van lamented about his destroyed car even when given reimbursement. Van still holds a grudge to the present day and has only recently upgraded his new car to the standard his previous vehicle was at.
During the Great War, Van aided Mille Mirage. Around this time, he met Swin Abel and Nadia Rayne, who were on the run from the Gardens, and helped them escape into Crossbell.
In April S.1208, when Renne returned to Calvard to enrol in Aramis Academy, Van was enlisted on her behalf by Dingo to investigate Ronald Griffith and get proof of his misdeeds.
Trails through Daybreak[]
Van lives in his office, above the Montmart Bistro in Edith, Calvard. He has been working alone from his office for several years. On 27 August, S.1208, he is requested by first year Aramis Academy student, Agnès Claudel, to find her great-grandfather's lost memento, one of the Oct-Geneses. Van accepts this request which turns out to be connected to a series of mysterious events involving Van gaining the ability to transform into the Grendel and his holo core, Mare, gaining sentience. In the subsequent hunt for the remaining units, Van reluctantly accepts Agnès as an employee.
Van's reputation sees him being increasingly sought after by influential figures around the Republic in cases involving the looming threat of the Almata mafia, who seem to have a connection to the Geneses. Van's travels around the country land him in increasingly dangerous predicaments and mysterious circumstances concerning the abilities these old objects have. As they gradually foil Almata's efforts across Calvard, they slowly acquire most of the Geneses and Van gains more and more employees — which are forced upon him, much to his chagrin. Additionally, Van finds himself accepting the aid of, and in turn aiding, his former childhood friends Elaine and René on numerous occasions. It is clear Van has leftover unspoken feelings for Elaine, and the teasing of their relationship is commonplace throughout the story.
Van's bond grows with his companions and they play a critical role in helping to save him when Van's history is revealed. His connection to the don of Almata turns out to be the focal point of the events that have plagued Calvard, and much of their plan was to locate and identify Van for their scheme. After Melchior manifests Genesis Tower, beginning Pandemonium and stopping the flow of time, Van discovers he and everyone he has talked to can still move. They act quickly to secure the capital before time runs out and the effect spreads to the rest of the continent. Within the tower, Van confronts and defeats the revived Almata members before facing Gerard at the zenith. Gerard reveals he took Van's diabolic core and intends to use it to become the ultimate embodiment of fear, seeing Van as nothing more than a husk and remnant of the power. Van overcomes him and takes the core back, transforming into Vagrants Diaspora, one of the Seventy-Seven Devils and in control of time, in the process and leaving the world.
Refusing to accept such an ending, Agnès rallies the rest of the party and they travel to the Endless Expanse thanks to a tip from Mare. They encounter a fettered Vagrants Diaspora and engage in combat, restoring Van's resolve and bringing him back. Together they vanquish the devil, which accepts the result for a time and withdraws, warning Van that it is a temporary measure. Van casts the diabolic core into the ether, which is followed by a large crack forming. They return to reality and Van spends the new year with his childhood friends after dropping Agnès back at her father's home.
Trails through Daybreak II[]
Van continues his work at the Arkride Solutions Office. On 20 February, S.1209 at 9:45, he is requested by Bracer Elaine Auclair to assist her investigation about a Grendel look-alike recorded murdering others.

Trivia[]
- Similar to Estelle Bright and Lloyd Bannings, Van Arkride uses a non-lethal weapon, the Stun Caliber[JP 1], as his main weapon. This weapon is based on the jian, a narrow bludgeon used in China to break swords. However, the stun caliber made by M.T.S.C can enable a mode that covers the weapon in a blade of electricity or orbal energy, gifting it lethal potential.
- Pre-spriggan Van Arkride was taught the Kunlun-style martial arts until S.1203 by Dominion Gunther Barkhorn who faked his death in December, S.1205 and later reappeared as Bergard Zeman, the current master of the Kunlun Style.
- In Kai no Kiseki: Farewell, O Zemuria, most of Van's crafts significantly change their previous combat animations.
