Arthur Q

Description

Arthur is about 6"2 and tends to wear all black (A hold over from trying to look thinner when he was younger). Jeans and a casual though dressy t-shirt. His hair on occasion is scruffy but it is short and brown, and he has hazel eyes. He weighs about 210lbs and most of that is well-toned muscle.

Personality

Boy is this a loaded package. Arthur is very argumentative when he knows he is right about something, and doesn't often back down. If someone proves to be unintelligent or consistently annoying he usually starts to dislike him or her, with a passion. On the other hand, anyone and everyone he cares about he will defend fiercely. He wont let anyone take away the few people he cares about or hurt them. If he ever gets wind of someone abusing a child, or hurting a woman it will possibly send him off to "teach him or her a lesson"

Equipment

Morning star, dynamite

History

Arthur had what some might call, a very disturbed childhood. Beaten and consistently insulted by his parents because of his weight problem (which only made it worse) he felt consistently alienated. He escaped his reality online where people actually cared about him (from his point of view). He cannot remember most of his childhood simply because he doesn't want to. A good portion of it was blocked out by his subconscious. If presented with some reminder and talked to about it for a few moments hey may recall some events, but for the most part his childhood is something he never wants to look back too, as well as his adolescent years. Always looking to the future he turned to acting and radio in college hoping to make his dreams come true. His life changed in the middle of his freshman year when after being heartbroken by his "fiancée". Not quite understanding "why" he tried to turn a new leaf. He began martial arts training and desperately tried to lose weight and change him… He finally succeeded just before graduation. However tragedy struck. There was a gas leak in his building because he accidentially tripped over a pipe in the basement. Someone lit a match to smoke down there and there was an explosion. He was the only survivor (from being in the bathtub) although was burned badly on his back. (After the 1'st these wounds healed..) As the only surviving member of his family he "cashed in" on their life insurance and ran off to Detroit hoping to marry a girl from his graduating class, and accepting a nice job at a #1 radio station in the city. Arthur was also adversely affected by the events of 9/11/01. He distrusts anyone of "Arab" or Palestinian decent. He also hates rap and urban culture with a passion because they tend to make a business hurting others. He is extremely nationalistic and will do just about anything for his country. He is not completely without his wits though…he knows not to completely trust the government and it is one of the few things he will truly consider over before taking direct action.
He is in denial about killing his own parents (mostly because he wanted them to die and is happy they did) and no-one suspects it was he. Besides he didn't light the match. A few months after living in Detroit he was driving home and spotted a girl being raped. (April 1st 3AM) His inner fury raged and he transformed into void for the first time. Focusing EM radiation into the punk and disarraying him he rushed forward and pummeled him into a bloody pulp. He then flew off into the shadows and went home. He stared into the mirror and saw nothing but darkness (from absorbing ALL types of EM radiation). He decided that finally he could become what he always dreamed about. A Hero.
