[b][color=107532]Build:[/color][/b] Muscular and Athletic
[b][color=107532]Eyes:[/color][/b] Brown
[b][color=107532]Hair:[/color][/b] Dirty Blonde

[b][color=107532]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] Numerous scars all over his body, some small some large. Tattoo of a star on his chest. 
[b][color=107532]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Before being stranded on Krakoa, Arthur would always wear relatively nice clothes - not too nice, though, since he was typically going off to some elite party to get wasted. Since the island, though, things have changed. He likes to wear his combat attire at all times, finding that it has become something of a second skin for him. It's his armor and he is waging a war to avenge the father that he never knew, after all. It's different when he works out however - he does that shirtless, hating the way the sweat causes the fabric of the shirt to stick to his body.[hr][center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/W4pGJ261/giphy.gif[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=107532][center]Psychology[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]

[b][color=107532]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Heterosexual 
[b][color=107532]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single
[b][color=107532]Personality:[/color][/b] While Arthur has changed a great deal in the last five years, one thing has remained the same - he always assumes that he is right and everyone else is wrong. He can rationalize to no end his motivations and choices, giving himself the moral high ground even if he is really no different than any other vigilante out there in the world. He does not accept the limitations of reality, working tirelessly to find a way to push through them. There is no changing his mind, no stopping him... The only way that he will really see the error in his ways is if the consequences catch up to him. Even then, the process of learning and maturing can be long and difficult.

Despite the tragedy of his life, Arthur is a rather funny individual. He has a good sarcastic wit, as well as just being humorous in general - [i]Die Hard[/i] is his favorite Christmas movie for example. He has been known to pull the occasional prank or two, usually against his friends. Those are the people that Arthur can really let his guard down again, to regain some semblance of the man he used to be before Krakoa forced him to change in order to survive. He's battling with that inner darkness every moment of his life and for now, he's given it a direction - to avenge his father's death.

His deepest fear is what he could become one day without that goal - what darkness he may bring to the world... 

Maybe he should have died on Krakoa.

[b][color=107532]Why did you join X-Factor?:[/color][/b] Arthur has yet to join the X-Factor team. He has been tracking down the Sisterhood ever since learning that they were responsible for the deaths of his friends and his father, as well as stranding him on Krakoa for years. They ruined his life and they need to [i]pay[/i] - he needs to bring those murderers to justice. So far, Arthur is almost certain that Rae Gardner is a significant player in the Sisterhood, especially since she was named CEO of Serval Industries. It's only a matter of time until he puts an arrow between her eyes.

[b][color=107532]General History:[/color][/b] Arthur's mother was the CFO of Serval Industries since its founding. She had gone to college with Harrison Snow and the two of them were rather close, with Snow even being the Best Man at her wedding. Of course, the closeness between them went deeper than the public realized, as the two of them carried on an extramarital affair that resulted in baby Arthur. No one knew the truth, with the exception of Snow's personal attorney as Arthur was written into the will. This small action would have large repercussions later on in Arthur's life.

Arthur was sent to boarding school for his education, attending McClaine Academy in Massachusetts. His social circle consisted entirely of the wealthy elite and like privileged boys, they abused their freedom. He and his best friend got a reputation for being able to smuggle anything back to the academy - drugs, booze, condoms, porn, if you could make it worth their while then they would bring it back. This resulted in his near expulsion as a rising senior, only for his parents to make a well timed donation to the school in order to continue his enrollment (the Twist Performing Arts Center to be specific). 

His playboy, partying antics continued in college. He attended [i]three[/i] different colleges, each of them as a business major. His parents insisted that he had to go, but he kept on being thrown out for poor academic progress - he just couldn't be bothered to go to class, preferring to party. He spent more nights in the drunk tank for disorderly conduct than he ever did inside his dorm room. All of that changed when he was twenty two. Arthur and his friends had purchased a yacht with plans to sail it to Hawaii. The first few days of the trip were smooth sailing, but at midnight on the fifth day there was a tragic accident, resulting in the death of everyone onboard. Arthur was the only one to survive, clinging to a piece of driftwood for days before making it to an island for shelter.

Only this was hardly any ordinary island - the island's name was [i]Krakoa[/i]. The island itself was alive, formidable enough that not even the X-Men dared to venture there. Arthur was forced to grow up and to learn to survive on its harsh shores, searching through the belongings of others who had died on the island in order to get weapons and supplies. The first weapon he found was a bow and it was fortunate that he had some natural talent with it, or he would have never survived.

It was five years until he managed to signal another ship for help and escape Krakoa. When he returned to the United States, he realized that he had been declared legally dead - and more importantly, he discovered that his shipwreck hadn't been an accident. It had been orchestrated by a mysterious organization called the Sisterhood, as an attempt to prevent him from inheriting his father's company and fortune. He didn't even know until then that Snow was his father. And unfortunately, it was too late - Snow had been murdered and Arthur didn't need proof to know who was responsible. 

His mission ever since had been to avenge his father's death - to end the Sisterhood. [hr][center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/yx7s7bCt/source.gif[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=107532][center]Extras[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
