Character Name: Arthur Kirkland
Country: England
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Staff or camper?: Camper
Appearance:
Arthur is around 175 cm tall and is pretty skinny. His eyebrows, however, are everything but skinny. They're big and hard to miss, but he is proud of them. Under these monstrous eyebrows is a pair a emerald green eyes. He has messy, dirty blonde hair, which seems like it is never properly combed.
Personality:
Arthur complains and rant a lot. Though no matter how much he rants about something he actually quite like it. For example the rain, he complains a lot about the shitty weather, but Arthur loves the rain. Arthurs character could be described as tsundere.
He has a few “secret” hobbies. Those are related to magic and paranormal things. Though some people know more about it than they actually wish. Arthur strongly believes in magic and ghosts no matter what everyone says. Arthur can be quite stubborn. When he strongly believes in something, it's hard to convince him.
Arthur tries to be gentleman and be kind to everyone but he often fails. Arthur comes off as very harsh most of the time. He often times doesn’t mean it, but it takes some time to soften.
He can get very defensive when you make fun of the things he loves and proud of. Especially magical creatures, his eyebrows and embroidery. He is quickly offended when someone makes fun of him.
He likes to cook but he sucks at it. He knows it himself but he's afraid to admit it. He is sensitve over his hobbies, so he might yell at you when you offend his cooking or make fun of his embroidery.
Inside Arthur is quite a romanticist. He likes poetry, art, literature, music, and cheesy cliché romantic things. Though he isn't good at being romantic. He's too shy and easily embarassed to actually make a move towards the person he has a crush on.
He doesn't like the French and he clearly doesn't bother to hide it. Along with annoying people, being picked on and messes. Arthur likes to keep his things neat and tidy.
Likes:
- Tea; as a real English boy he enjoy a quiet afternoon with tea.
- Cooking; he just can't cook but he likes it anyway.
- Embroidery; though he would never admit it.
- Cute things; again he would never admit this.
- Romance; he's a hopeless romanticist at heart. He secretly hopes for his own little romance one day.
- Roses; it's the national flower of England.
- Magic; he's a strong believer in magic and stuff.
- His eyebrows; he's proud of them and hates it when people make fun of them.
Dislikes:
- French; you can say hate. He hates the French and anything that is French.
- Insects; those who come across the angry Brit, meet a cruel death. He just hates them. Especially musquitos and wasps.
- Being made fun of; he doesn't like it when he's not taken seriously. He also doesn't like it when people make fun of his hobbies, cooking, believes and eyebrows.
- Idiots, annoying and loud people.
- Messes; he's a tidy person and doesn't really like it when people make a mess of his room.
- Barclay and Finnigan, his brothers. They hate him and seem to beat him up a lot. Reason enough to dislike them, right?
Fears:
- Drowning; Arthur can't swim at all. So he is afraid to drown.
History:
Arthur comes from a big family. He has one younger brother and a few older siblings. He doesn't really like them and isolates himself from them. He thinks he's much different from them and likes to do things alone anyway.
He doesn't really have many friends. He is a good guitarist, he even played in a band. Only a few months ago this band broke up, because his girlfriend cheated on him with the drummer. Now Arthur is a solo guitarist, but it's not fun on your own.
His parents send him to this camp to get his mind off things like his ex, the band and college and of course for some family bonding. Arthur really isn't so thrilled to go to summercamp, but his parents descision is final.
Journal Sample:
Dear Journal,
Today I arrived at this summercamp my parents sent me to. I got bitten by musquitos, sexually harassed by a frog and my bunkmates snore.
Moreover, the staff is so young! Are they even capable of leading this camp? I think everyone who is tall enough and past 20 can lead this camp.
Is that swiss guy even allowed to carry a gun?! I swear, I am pretty sure that is against the rules. Why would he carry a gun? You can't shoot on children!
Anyway as you can see I'm having a jolly good time here. Can't wait to go home.
Yours,
Arthur Kirkland
Roleplay Sample:
Arthur dropped his suitcase on the floor and let out a deep sigh. He looked at the bunkbeds, which didn't seem so comfortable. He sighed again and looked around. Meanwhile he was swatting his hand at musquitos trying to bite him. "This bloody sucks." he growled and made his way over to one of the beds.
He kicked off his boots and managed to climb up onto the top bunk, because the cool guys were always top bunk and it was far away from potentional roommates. He lied down for a moment and stared at the ceiling. A whole summer long in America, stuck at a summercamp! This was so not cool!
