Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Arthur

Nicknames: Any pet name is fine by him. He only ask that you do not call him Arty, as this was the nickname given to him by Eleanor. He much prefers that you give him a sweet name like 'darling' or 'angel cakes', but anything will do. Just know that since you are free to give him a pet name, he will most certainly have fun giving you one (even if you do not ask for it). Isn't that right, honey cakes? Rose bud? How about Fluffykins?

Breed: Turkish Angora

Alignment: Senshi

Gemstone: Chrysoberyl - Alexandrite Variety

Favorite Food: Coffee in most any shape or form other than black. If he can get it, he likes it with soy milk and sweetener. (He swears he's lactose intolerant.) The taste reminds him of home, where he and Eleanor would go through a pot together. Just like some people feel warm and cozy with chocolate chip cookies like mom use to make, this is Arthur with his cup of Joe.

Hated Food: Popcorn. (Anything that can get stuck in your teeth or the back of your throat.) Jello with fruit in it. (That's just wrong.) Tea. Biscotti. He hates that coffee shops sell these. Just when he thinks it's a nice, soft piece of bread or muffin, he bites into it and feels as if he's going to chip a tooth!



Hobbies:

● The Tube:One of Arthur happiest memories was watching 'The Soaps' with Eleanor. Watching love triangles expand to octagons, surprising blood tests revealing long lost relatives, and supernatural phenomenons have kept him at the edge of Eleanor's bed for many hours of his life. Due to recent duties and undecided living quarters, he is often found in front of television outlets to watch his shows or sneaking into senshis' homes to watch in private. He's recently come to enjoy Reality TV and Dramas as well, happy that, unlike his soaps, they provide reruns which give him plenty of opportunities to keep updated with his shows. Don't even try convincing him these people are actors. They are REAL people. He's invested time in watching them, feeling for them, and he knows that that is not fake. If he saw him on the street, he would probably claw out Stefano's eyes out for all the evil things he has done.

● Visiting the Nursing Home: Spending some time with Eleanor has given him a great appreciation for the elderly. He loves them, and he likes the way they reminisce of the past, something that touches a soft spot he shares with them. Not only that, but he gets plenty of attention, and feels valued when he can perk up some of the bedridden that are unable to go out or have nothing else to bring a little spark in their day. While Arthur loves his scouts, he often feels more connected to the older generation. There are just some things that he can't relate with them, and in these moments, he will distance himself and sneak into the nursing home to a place he feels he will be better understood.


● Inventing a new ailment: If there was on thing that he heard often when in the nursing home, it was talk about medication and what was being broken or sore. It became like a competition, and Arthur has adopted it despite not being old. He'll complain about a dislocated hip, unusual headache, his sinuses, or that pesky war wound that makes walking hard on rainy days. It works really well when he wants to get out of doing something or feels like he needs a little attention.

● Fixer-Upper: Since Eleanor had no one around the house, Arthur would try to fix things when he could. If he could manage something with his paws or teeth, he'd try and fidangle something into working order, usually trying to figure something out and putting it back before his friend would notice. He had to read a lot of user manuals and managed to get the TV, the fax machine, and even a few appliances in up and running on several occasions. That doesn't mean he sometimes managed to make it even worse. (The toaster never did make that whining noise before popping out the toast before he messed with it.) For this reason, he likes figuring how things work but has only been exposed to older appliances and gadgets thus far. Eleanor had a poor opinion on the new fangled tech-ma-jigs.







Virtues:

● All Up Here: Be it dates, names, or who said what during a fight a week ago, Arthur is the man to beat when it comes to memory. A quick encounter between friends and he'll remember who was there, what you smelled like (You had cookies, didn't you?), and ask you if that exam you were studying for went well. If he lives in a household long enough, he'll point out your mother's birthday is coming up and she did mention that she would like new slippers since she complained once about the other pair getting loose. While he often uses this to remember seasons upon seasons of different TV shows, he will accumulate what he has heard and learned from others and keep a record stored in his head. If you're foggy on some details, ask him. He probably can tell you what was said even through a splash of impersonation for some flavor.

Since he has only lived a little more over a year, it still seems he can retain a lot. However, remembering what someone wore or how exactly they said something will often fade through the months as he absorbs new information. He'll keep the vital parts of it, or what he thinks was the most important parts, and scrap the rest. (These vital parts are usually really memorable 'lines' said by the other person. He's big for what is said, but don't think he won't remember someone holding hands or kissing!) Sure, he might not remember that you wore that purple windbreaker your mother gave you from half a year ago, but he will remember that you did admit you hated your brother for upstaging you in nearly the same words. His memory is usually the best if it's happened around two or three months. After that, you get the the bare bones (with a little meat) summary. That is unless if you did something big. BIG moments like someone admitting their love or breaking apart will usually be what his mind sets to record and keeps. These are the big tear-jerker moments in drama.

● Supportive: Unlike Astraea, Arthur doesn't believe that yelling obscenities is going to motivate anyone. Not wanting his little sweethearts to be afraid to come to the people that are suppose to be guiding them as senshi, he tries his best to perk them up after a hard day. You killed a youma? Great job! Beat up a Negaverser? Lets get icecream! Seeing civilians having their starseeds ripped out and missing out on that slumber party to go on patrol chips away at your spirit, and all these kids are young, mostly new, and very inexperienced. While he knows they have an important duty, he's aware that they won't be any good if they can't keep their head above the sea of despair. It's hard on these kids, and he knows it, and while he can't let them be normal kids, he tries his best to let them live out their youth as best as he can. Even when they fail, he wants to be there to at the hospital to sit on their lap and tell them that they tried, and that's all that anyone ever asks.

He will not, however, support "bad" behavior or something that could harm someone or the mission. This can often conflict with his desire for a person's happiness and the desire for everyone to work as a team and his responsibility as a guardian to get them all to take their senshi duties seriously. He'll try and juggle as much as he can to get everyone happy. If he can't, he usually blames himself.

● What's best: Some tension and drama is fun, but he knows when things go too far and can become dangerously close to causing serious damage that can't be fixed up. When what he deems is necessary drama changes to bad news that needs to be fixed, he'll jump in to help keep everyone together. Arthur doesn't want it to come at the cost of ripping everyone apart. Fussing around and causing trouble is one thing, but when it comes at the risk of the entire group ripping apart at the seams or for a entire friendship to dissolve, he'll rush in as best he can to try and patch it up, be it a small little fix or trying to hold back the entire dam from breaking. Friends and family are suppose to stick together like glue, through thick and thin, and that everyone should be there to rely on each other. Arthur has seen the druggie get worse or the depressed girl overdose in way too many shows, and he wants to make sure that his kids have people to step in and help, even if it's just him. Friends and family have been preached on tv to be what everyone needs. Letting it all fall apart, having their 'season' end, is not something he wants to see. Let's keep the entire cast here!

If he can't fix things, he'll plea to others to help him out. Work the network of friends and see if they can offer any advice. If they tell him to stay out of it, he'll usually worry on his own, tucking his tail in and worrying the entire time till something resolves itself. While he can't make a horse drink when you lead it to water, he will try his hardest to shove it's head in or beg on his knees to at least take a sip. Just a taste, to see if you like it. That's all I'm asking.


Flaws:...besides shedding.

● Drama King: My paw isn't bruised! It's broken. Carry me! What if I die? What if they have to amputate it off! What will I do with only three limbs? Who will take care of me? Oh, it was just a thorn! I hope it doesn't get infected. Does it look funny to you?

When it suits him, a molehill can be made into a mountain the size of Mt. Everest. Give him the attention, the reminder that you care, and don't give him that look, this is serious. Learning from the best, Arthur saw the elderly try and one up each other for their ailments and he found out that this was a great way to get people to pay attention. Just because he's supportive doesn't mean he doesn't like to be fussed over. If he doesn't get the attention he wants, he'll wind up pouting and throwing a emo fit that no one loves him, again, to get attention. A lot of frowning, muttering responses, and big, over-the-top sighing is what is bound to happen if you don't at least come over and try to make it up to him. It's usually better to bite the bullet and entertain his acting from the start, but if you manage to hold out, he'll eventually pull himself out of his little show and return, waiting the next chance to do it all over again. That is, unless, he knows you won't bat an eye at him no matter what he does. Then he'll just find someone who will.

● Lily-Livered: Very aware of the limitations of a cat, Arthur isn't going to fool himself that he can take on a human being or even a youma. He wants to be there for his team, which means showing it by actually being there on the battlefront. He will not, however, be next to them thinking he can get in a good bite. More than likely, he will find a safe place that he can't be reached or attacked, since he does not want to become the victim that jeopardizes his team, and will try and help by giving direction and shouting his support. If cheerleading works for athletes to win against tough opponents, why not in this case?

If it came right down too it, where it was a matter of life or death for him to jump in, he would, but he would be terrified out of his mind as he did it. If the enemy is too great, too strong, and is throttling his team, he will tell them all to retreat in order to save themselves. Youma and Negaversers scare him, and he'll dig his claws into someone's shoulder before finding a spot to watch. While he doesn't want to be the one to be called on as a last resort, as he would be a sad last weapon, he would use himself as their last weapon using whatever he can, be it cat beam or biting.

For the most part, he would rather not be in the battle at all, and if the senshi tell him to stay home, he gladly will. The idea of being the last resort to rely on scares him, and he would feel horrid if he was lost at the cost of someone's life. Instead, he wants them to be in tight groups together and never have to rely on someone as poor at fighting, shaking in his fur, to be the one to actually fight off evil. Instead, he'll rather be waiting by the phone and hoping no one gets severally hurt.

At home, he still freaks out over car alarms, the printer, and the neighbor's dog. Bigger cats also worry him, as a few have gotten into fights with him before. (Arthur hasn't claimed any wins.) This is why it's nice to stick with someone so that they can have his back. The senshi are powerful and brave, and he'd rather they protect him than having to be put in that position.

● Papa Bear: Due to his own experiences with death and lingering abandonment issues, Arthur wants to see that everyone is safe and protected. This often means he doesn't even want someone to fight the biggest baddie out there, and that that boy you like is just not good for you. This often gives the impression that he doesn't place too much faith in a person's decisions or their ability to handle themselves, but he'd rather they were angry at him for a while than to think of them dead in a ditch somewhere. Television has taught him what is best and what can go wrong, while real life living with older people have taught him a lot more regarding regrets and the wrong and right choices. Because of this, he feels he's better prepared to make the call on what is best. Aware of the fragility of life, he'll shout for the team to retreat, even if they think they can push themselves and win, and he'll tell someone to stay home to rest rather than strain themselves with another late-night patrol.

As far as the mission is concerned, he does want them to become stronger and to win to save other people that are sure to have families, too. He just doesn't want his direct family harmed and to suffer losses, and will show his thin backbone during debates at group meet-ups. If any harm does happen, he will accuse everyone of their recklessness.

Additional Note:
Hard of Hearing: Due to a terrible fever that nearly killed him, Arthur has lost the hearing in his right ear. While he'll deny this, Arthur knows he's missing out on a lot of juicy details in conversation, which is why he often crawls up on shoulders to hear better. He'll turn his head more often than not during a talk, and PLEASE don't try and whisper to him or else it's also guaranteed he's going to be walking away having no idea what important information you just gave out - not that he'll admit that either. If he doesn't hear it, you better believe he's going to just assume you said something else, and like the old saying goes, he'll make an a** of himself in the process.

gaia_star Castor: Seems like a good man. Met at a brother. Must like women too and must have broken up from a lover. Seems heartbroken.

gaia_diamond Phact: Knows a lot about this whole senshi business. Very nice woman even if she likes birds. She has been too kind to me. It makes me remember what having a warm home is like.

Places Lived/ Inventions

• Engraved Medallion - An antique medallion with some strange, foreign symbols scrawled on the back.
The magic can only be activated and used on the owner of the medallion. The medallion allows the wearer to suppress their own energy signature by one level for up to three hours a day. First stage characters will feel like civilians; while this item has little effect on Mauvians in their cat form, it will suppress their energy signature as if they were a human civilian if activated while they are in their humanoid form. Youma will have the energy signature of a human civilian.

• Golden Vial - A vial, roughly the size of a finger, filled with slow moving golden liquid. The vial will always be in an unmarked pouch of any color or fabric and can be found discarded or hidden on Homeworlds or Wonders, within the depths of Mirrorspace, or within the Dark Kingdom. To use this item, you must uncork the top and drink the full dose at once. Splitting the dose will yield no effects. The golden liquid tastes sweet, but has no identifiable flavor. Once emptied, the vial will heat up and the glass will appear covered with a dozen cosmetic golden hairline fracture; the vial is not damaged in this process. Drinking this liquid guarantees that you will have some memory from your most recent past life, regardless of your affiliation or faction. Even civilian characters will have a short memory of their past life. Only one memory may be recovered clearly, but that night you may also have vague dreams of up to three other partial memories. Mauvians can also use this but should not have memories on Mau; youma can use this item but the memories they receive should be them as a human in their most recent life. The vial can be kept as a memento.
