arte list

All his artes. Mostly for my own personal reference to help write the tags.

note on abilities
Alvin is a tank. He is strong as well as dexterous. In fact he's ambidextrous as he wields a gun in his left hand (main hand) and a large broadsword in his right. Since he packs a punch, he's great for going through tough guards. He also has a special skill called "Charge." He'll combine his weapons and basically amp their power. This will alter his attack to a more powerful one. He can continually stack these charges. He also can perform Linked Artes with the rest of the Xillia team...but I'm not going to list those unless I actually have a cast (and I'll probably put them down in the comments).

SPOILER ALERT. Also to note is that Alvin doesn't have a mana lobe and thus cannot perform spirit artes like the others can. All of his artes are physical, martial artes. However, some do have elements to them, and he apparently makes his own special bullets that can replicate the effects just as if he used a spirit artes. The same is likely true with his sword in that it's modified in some way to create the effect. /SPOILER.
