Bitterness is thick like blood and cold as a wind sea breeze.

Just one note: Arthur is currently still getting over a devastating heartbreak, so an actual romantic relationship is pretty much impossible right now. However, one night stands and intense make out sessions are all fair game! ;)

Use this post for plotting purposes, such as:

*Any sort of relationship other than romantic, as noted above. Friends, acquaintances, enemies, etc.
*Any kind of connections you may want your character to have with Arthur.
*Any kind of way you want to have Arthur's abilities impact your character or if you want to use Arthur for his abilities.
*Any other plots or purposes you may have in mind!

That said, I do have a fairy-type plot I want to use for Arthur, and I'd love to get other people involved, so use this post for that as well!

Arthur's new job doesn't start for a couple weeks yet; he's moved in and settled in his new cottage by the woods, separated enough from other neighborhoods to be almost completely isolated. He appreciates the privacy, has already broken in the considerable land on his property by taking many walks through the woods, and generally feels as settled as he can be in a new town and country.

This morning, though. This morning, Arthur's curiosity gets the better of him, pulling him out of bed and beyond the paths he's already tread upon into the town of Siren Cove itself. He probably appears overly dressed, in his waist coat and trousers he usually reserves for teaching, but he feels the urge to make himself presentable as he comes to learn more of the history and secrets laying in wait beneath the veneer of Siren Cove. He's already heard of the town curse and rivalry, of course, and is eager to get to the library and read about more about them and how the supernatural plays a role within them.

But first, his stomach growls as he pauses in front of one I Scream Creamery, he ought to eat something, even if ice cream is an unusual breakfast. He smiles to himself as he enters. What, truly, is the point of being an adult if he can't indulge in ice cream for breakfast when he feels like it?

The small smile disappears as he concentrates on the menu, finally deciding upon a cherry-vanilla-mint flavor, taking his cone and moving to sit at the counter, people-watching as people come through the door.

[Find Arthur in the I Scream Creamery having ice cream for breakfast! He's actually not too broody today, too. ;)]

CHARACTER NAME: Arthur Devin Allaway

CHARACTER AGE: 35

BACKGROUND & HISTORY: Arthur Allaway was born to a family straight out of a Bronte novel in Yorkshire, England. His mother was unhappily married to an old childhood friend Arthur never knew; he left his wife once he found out she was pregnant, as they had never slept together beyond their wedding night. Yet, Arthur’s biological father, one Heathcliff Rodgers, abandoned his mother shortly thereafter, immigrating to Spain, never to be seen or heard from again. Devastated, Arthur’s mother died giving birth to him, though rumors swirl that she willed herself to death through her labor. Arthur doesn’t know for certain, and he doesn’t care to know.
