BACKGROUND
Arthur is coming along with the rest of the Eudio denizens, through a portal that shows up in his apartment. He didn’t get a chance to realize his incentive, and the eponymous death of glitter is weighing heavily on him, which gives him little to look forward to . He’s a bit of a romantic at heart and desires something bigger than what’s back home. Even before he actually becomes a reporter, he has a journalist’s instinct for leads, which he follows with an intense, almost obsessive focus; he hasn't honed this skill yet, but he will get a sense there's something more to uncover, and quickly pack everything he can fit into his suitcase before following the scent.
POWERS & SKILLS
  • No supernatural powers
  • Skills include drawing, writing, observation, active listening, and system-building. He also has an ear for music, although he isn't a performer.

IN UNIVERSE
MORALITY: Arthur is painfully shy, to the point where he doesn’t think of himself as the sort of person to stand up and fight for something, but when it comes down to it, he is much more idealistic than he realizes. He doesn’t talk about his morality--he rarely talks about himself at all, except in recollections through narrative that are mostly his observations on others--but he seems to put a lot of weight in sincerity and personal integrity. Liars, cheats, and bigots don’t sit well with him. WAR ATTITUDES: He’d prefer to stay in the city--he’s somewhat rangy and waifish, and not really cut out for physical fighting. He will likely seek information, and will spend considerable energy verifying it and making sure it’s accurate before disseminating it, whether through an official paper or on his own. He communicates most effectively via writing, and will try to use that to inspire and inform the population without having to talk to anyone directly. INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Arthur is taciturn and quiet to the point where he’s nearly silent, and doesn’t make friends easily. When he does, though, he is intensely invested in them, quickly becoming wrapped up in them and their lives. He is also gay, and grew up in a home where it was treated as something filthy and shameful, if it was talked about at all, which has given him some hangups. His family, especially his father, seems distant and detached and even sometimes scornful; Arthur, while quiet and private, can also be a hopeless and somewhat flamboyant romantic, and threw himself into the solace and freedom he found in the glam rock scene. Over his years rooming with The Creatures, he blossoms under the freedom and belonging, and becomes more and more comfortable with his own sexuality and expression. He’s still his shy, quiet self, but he enjoys being a flashy part of a flashy crowd, and his repressed upbringing has made him skin-hungry. He’s nervous and reluctant to make the first move, partly because of his shyness and difficult home life, but he’s eager to please and still basking in the glow of being able to be open about his sexuality. COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: As I previously touched on in the attitudes section, Arthur’s primary contribution will be through his words. He will likely start with things like music reviews and listening to others’ stories, but may eventually begin to start digging around the circumstances of the world, and may even become a war correspondent. He will also be interested in the lives of his few friends and acquaintances from Eudio, since they share a displacement story.
