↘ Blitz ↙

21
Role:
Boy 3
Brief Description:
Arthur stands 5'10" tall and weighs around 132lbs with medium-red hair and violet-red eyes. He has an average build, not big on muscles but not too skinny either, yet still strong enough to hold his own. Though he doesn't particularly care about what others think of his appearance, he still likes to dress nicely and look neat for personal satisfaction.
Power:
Hand-Eye Coordination
Now, Arthurs ability isn't just any hand-eye coordination. In fact, many people have quite good hand-eye coordination, but Arthurs far exceeds that of a normal humans. To make this brief, Arthur has an extraordinarily quick brain which results in extraordinarily quick reflexes and reactions. His eyes are the key to all of this. Anything he can lay his eyes on, even for less than a split second, moves to his brain nearly equivalent to the speed of light(A little slower than the speed of light but faster than the speed sound, basically in between).
From his point of view, it seems more like things slightly slow down, giving him time to think about how to react to certain situations. Naturally he is very adapt to absorbing a plethora of information at a time and evaluate that information. He has the gift of catching every little detail and knows how to work fast. He does pretty well behind a computer and no one could beat him in a video game match, but his ability also helps him out quite a bit in a fight.

Arthur is a very independent person who likes to have his own outlook on things, but isn't really the kind to shoot down others opinions either. He has a bit of a trust issue and, even though he'll never hesitate to protect someone, he would never fully put his trust in others to do the same for him, not that he'd even want them to. He has a habit of letting his pride get the best of him and doesn't think he should have to depend on others to help him. His problems are his own and if he gets himself into a troubling situation then he should take care of it himself. It's simply the way he thinks and isn't swayed from that easily. He takes the protection of human life very seriously, especially when it has to do with those close to him or those who can't protect themselves. He may seem a little lazy sometimes(one of his favorite things to do is sleep), but always knows when it's time to focus on what's important.
Because of his independent way of thinking, he often tries to keep his relationships at more of a physical connection rather than an emotional one. Even so, he is still quite friendly and not entirely difficult to get along with. He's intellectual and likes to be in the company of others whom he can have a good conversation with, whether it is a serious one or not. Despite how confident or calm his posture is, he still gets a little clumsy sometimes. Since most of his attention is directed to where his brain is rather than where his feet should be going, don't be surprised if he's having a completely serious discussion with someone and then suddenly trips or falls over without warning(though it doesn't happen on a daily basis). He also becomes a tad flirty around pretty girls, but usually just does it for fun because he likes to see what reactions he can get out of them(Let's be honest, Italian boys just can't help themselves when they're around pretty girls). He enjoys being around passionate and confident people, though sometimes he can too smart for his own good which may cause other people to get a little annoyed.
History:
Arthur wasn't always so confident and independent as he is now. In fact, he used to be a very shy boy with very little self-esteem and didn't believe he'd be capable of doing much. He was born into a rich Italian family and was the youngest out of his four other brothers, so he knew he wouldn't have much chance of taking over the money-making family business and his parents didn't have a lot of expectations for him and since his ability developed quite slowly, he didn't really give them much to be proud of. He was born in Italy, but their family would often move around due to his fathers line of work. At age fifteen they moved to the states and began living in New York. By that time Arthur's hand-eye coordination had began to surprise him and it started to develop much faster. A couple of weeks after transferring into high school, he met his best friend [Girl 2]. At first, he wasn't very fond of his upperclassman's sarcastic and crazy personality, but soon began to look towards her as an escape from his pressuring, uneventful, and strict family life.
Two years passed, and by this time his parents were very disapproving of his best friend and their youngest son's new attitude. Even with all of the complaint's of his parents, he continued staying very close friends with [Girl 2] and quite confidently came out of his tight shell, much enjoying his new personality and way of thinking. Even so, due to his fathers work, the news of having to move back overseas soon came. Of course, [Girl 2], whom by then knew plenty about his ability and was also already in the Alpha's, told him that he should join. Only a week before the moving day and two months before he was supposed to turn eighteen, he packed up his things and left for good.

Skills:
- Arthur is quite musically talented when it comes to playing the piano and can play many difficult pieces that often require speed. He's also extremely fast at typing and a pretty good cook as well. He's quick in the kitchen and if you want a fast meal it would be wise to ask him(of course don't expect him to do it unless he's hungry too). He's also quite the fast learner when it comes to combat, but he couldn't show you anything unless he has something to react to since his defense is mostly based on instinct.
Weaknesses:
O Arthur gets frequent headaches due to his ability. The human mind can only absorb so much information until it crashes, the same as a computer. He used to have constant blackouts and crippling migraines when in his teen years as his mind would attempt to sort out and dispose of less-important information and memories. He now takes a special kind of medication every morning that helps a great deal with his blackouts, but he still gets bad headaches if he doesn't give his brain time to sort things out, which is why he favors sleep. During sleep the brain is free to do as it wants without him having much control and without him having to suffer from headaches. Even so, he still gets stabs of pain in his temples every now and then since his eyes are constantly sending information to his brain.
O Arthur has quite the serious case of motion sickness. He is perfectly fine if he can close his eyes the entire time or if he is in a vehicle with no windows available to him, but riding in anything where he can just barely get a glance of the world moving outside will cause him to get very dizzy and sick to his stomach.
Fears:
X Arthur is deathly afraid of the dark. If he can't see, his mind can't process information, making him quite helpless when it comes to defending himself. His eyes are everything, and the dark renders them useless and makes him feel very open and vulnerable.
X He may be mostly disconnected from others emotionally, but he still hates the thought of being unable to protect his friends or being forced into a situation where he has to choose which life to save.

- A Few Things you Should Know -
- Arthurs first language is Italian and he lived most of his life in Italy and didn't really have a lot of time to learn English before moving to New York. With that known, you'd probably expect him to have a heavy accent, but it's actually the very opposite. In fact his English is incredible and, unless you pay very close attention to his voice and speaking, you might not even realize he's Italian unless he tells you himself. He does have a few words though that sound quite Italian when he uses them(just small words such as 'it's' and short words that start with 'Th' as well as a few words with the letter 'L' in them).
- People may often see Arthur with his eyes closed. This is because he's giving his mind a little time to sort things out so he has more room for information and he can better avoid headaches. He's not ignoring you or falling asleep, he's just keeping himself from absorbing unnecessary information. It's nearly impossibly for him to sit still with his eyes open because his body has nothing to react to. (I think it's safe to say he doesn't have much control over his ability and it's not likely he'll ever improve either).
- Arthur absolutely does not drink any kind of alcohol, even in the smallest amounts. The drink causes his mind to become jumbled and makes it very difficult to sort things out. Sure, he'd probably one hell of a hilarious drunk, but since the drink messes with the medication he takes for his blackouts along with his brain, it risks him loosing memories he shouldn't loose or mixing up information, causing much confusion. If these risks weren't in the way though, Arthur would most likely be the kind to drink and enjoy it.
- Last but not least, Arthur's Hero name, 'Blitz' means 'a fast, intensive, and violent attack' or 'a lot of energetic activity'. The word 'Blitz' can also stand for 'lightening' or to indicate that something is happening very fast. He wouldn't tell you, but it was actually a name he gave a stray cat that he used to feed when he was a child until it was hit by a car. Since the cat was his first and only pet, he was quite sat when it died.
