Personality-
Arthur is a quiet soul when you first meet him, courteous but distant. He often seems a bit preoccupied, as if his mind is elsewhere. He is fairly intelligent and clever in some ways, slightly dense in others. In general, he can be a bit scattered or forgetful, but when it comes down to it, he has a plan for almost anything and everything. Whether it's because he's naturally inclined to think strategically, simply an overthinker who analyzes every possible way for things to go wrong, or a combination of the two, we don't know.
His quiet nature and generally kind behavior occasionally leads people to assume he is timid or a pushover; this⦠couldn't be more inaccurate. He is more patient than is often necessary, but he doesn't take abuse from anyone and is highly protective of the people he considers his friends. (It's worth noting that, although he does make a point to be nice to everyone, there are very few he'd dare call his friends.) He is not afraid of confrontation when it's necessary, and he will call people out when he perceives them to be in the wrong.
Though he does consider the feelings and needs of others, at the end of the day, his own morality and sense of justice is more important to him. He will do what he believes to be right, regardless of what others say to him. This works as both a negative and a positive, since he can sometimes be stubborn and set in his ways, refusing to accept a viewpoint that clashes with his own internal moral compass. He can also become annoyingly fixated on what is logical and rational, sometimes ignoring the emotions of himself and others in order to reach the most "sensible" solution. That said, he is incredibly loyal and makes a point to be honest.
He enjoys things that are usually considered aesthetically pleasing, like flowers, stars, beautiful scenery, etc.
Backstory-
[I'll add this.]
Appearance-
Approximately 5'11" tall, with a rather lanky, even wiry build. He's skinny, but more solid than he appears. He has wavy, dark golden-blond hair, generally styled in a subtle undercut-fade, though it appears a bit grown out at the moment. Fair skin. His eyes are dark blue, even grey. His facial features are soft, giving him a young, somewhat innocent appearance that is offset by a prominent burn scar running along the left side of his jaw, extending down onto his neck and shoulder and even to his left arm. He does have a little bit of facial hair, but its too blond to actually be visible most of the time since it isn't very thick. He has nimble hands with slightly crooked fingers.
Clothing-
He always wears a pair of thick-framed, rectangular black glasses, often on the end of his nose (he has an odd habit of peering over them like some kind of grandpa). For clothing, he often springs for darker or more neutral colors, specifically dark greys, greens, and browns. Generally, he can be seen wearing light-grey, baggy cargo pants, a pair of scuffed up black combat boots, and a black tank beneath a dark green flannel jacket. He wears a little black ring on his left hand, middle finger; it looks like some kind of punk-emo accessory, because it has three little spikes on it, but it's actually for self-defensive purposes.
Inventory-
Arthur carries lots of things in his pockets. A pocket knife, a set of pliers (also with its own knife), pepper-spray, and usually hand-sanitizer. He also has a pistol (which he carries open-carry).
Likes-
Learning new things. Books. The night sky, specifically when stars are visible. Flowers, specifically roses, specifically red, white, or pink roses. Animals, especially cats. Sunrises/sunsets. Caffeine. Action figures. Just nerdy things in general, tbh. Self-defense/Martial Arts. All things Japan.
Dislikes-
Unnecessarily aggressive people. People who manipulate others. Two-faced people, inauthentic people, and liars. Being put on the spot. Too many questions. Hot weather. Himself, though it fluctuates.
Strengths-
Honest, loyal, dependable, intelligent, clever/witty, planning/strategic, can be sort of charismatic when he wants to be (though it's odd because he's still simultaneously awkward somehow? weirdo), independent, generally doesn't care what other people think of him, determined, generally empathetic/sympathetic (but can be insensitive).
Weaknesses-
Stubborn (does what he wants in the end, honestly), easily distracted, uncomfortable in scenarios where he has no plan of action, can't lie to save his life, sometimes insensitive/annoyed by overly emotional behavior, "sometimes the end can justify the means."
Skills-
Knows some martial arts, can speak some Japanese (not fluent, but he's trying), can draw, can write, actually a pretty good dancer too.
Fears-
Fire, large bodies of water (the boy can't swim, okay?), flying insects.
