TRIGGER WARNING: Parent leaving, drinking, unhealthy habits

- full name: Arnold Cyrus Lewis

- nicknames: Arny, Crutchy Cane Guy, Arn-Arn

- age: 14

- gender + pronouns: male, he/him

- sexual + romantic orientation: demisexual panromantic

- nationality: America! (totally NOT because jimmy's running out of ideas ahahahahaha-)

- ethnicity: ummm... somewhere in Europe...? (take your best guess based on the pic below... thank you...)

- appearance/faceclaim:

*dying in the corner* i have been tainted... the things i do for dusk... 

- distinguishing features: his cane/crutch he always carries with him, his perpetual dark circles under his eyes from too many nights of staying up to read and write

- what they'd wear: probably what the guy in the photo's wearing-Arnold loves sweaters and cardigans, especially soft knitted ones, or whatever's available and comfortable. ^ ^

- physical disabilities, if any: left leg is weak, needs a crutch/cane to get around with it for long distances

- personality: Arnold is kind of what people would describe as your typical introvert and geeky nerd of the group. He loves to inhale any kind of information and also spit it also back. At first glance he seems super shy and soft like a kitten or something, and will probably stammer a lot when first trying to get to know you, but once you know him well... he's the type of nerd that doesn't mind talking on and on for hours about things he likes to talk about. Arnold prefers to spend his time around people who doesn't mind this, but in the first place he rarely reaches out to people first as it's kind of hard for him to do so-kind of 'intimidating'. He's surprisingly chatty online, though, and once you befriend him he'll turn into that nerdy bean that sprouts (no pun intended... or maybe so ^v~) all sorts of things at you that includes everything from straight-up facts about random things or theories of alien colonization and parallel universes. In fact one of this habits is, when nervous, he tends to talk to himself and lecture himself just to calm down his nerves. -v-' But don't let all this nerd talk fool you! When you've actually, truly, completely enraged him, you can bet he's ready to raise hell for whoever's been hurt. He's kind of naive and gullible, though... Arnold can get bada** when he wants to be. His secret sideeeeee-

- summary of personality: He's a slightly shy, innocent little bean who's that nerdy geek guy of the group but can get totally bada** when the times call for it.

- strengths: his high level of intelligence, a pretty good amount of endurance thanks to his disability making him train in that skill to travel long distances

- weaknesses: his leg, general disability to run fast or move around agilely. Also, sometimes his lack of sleep affects him.

- likes: reading, writing, peace, being left in peace, being comfortable, animals in general

- dislikes: bullies, fire, discrimination of any kind, damaging anything like books and items, being left behind, 

- mental disabilities, if any: Has slight OCD that makes him obsessively care for things to the point where the things he gets... are so cared for... that they 'don't get action'-as in, they stay in his room. Pretty much doing nothing. He treats them all like they're made of porcelain.) Currently he's working himself out of this habit. This OCD also makes him sometimes do little trivial things several times meaninglessly, as well as repeatedly wash his hands at times. It also makes his brain conjure up some, uh, disturbing things at times like how to kill somebody when he really doesn't need it...

(What you've just read is a description of my own problem. -v-')

(Also, don't know if this counts but sometimes Arny hallucinates and sometimes has nightmares about his backstory if something triggers it.)

- backstory: Unlike most other OCs I have created, Arnold had a pretty good life! He had caring parents who supported his geekiness! He had good grades! ... Unfortunately that all changed when out of the blue his dad just left them. Like, just... left. He didn't give a reason, just left a note that said "I'm sorry. I just can't take it anymore." Devastated by this unexpected leave, his mom turned to drugs and became a slight addict. She was always careful not to hurt Arnold too much, but you know drugs and alcohol. Sometimes it's just unavoidable. Arnold never really resented his mom or dad for this, although he does wish that they had been given a proper reason for being left-in fact, he even used time to research how to deal with a drug addict and help them. However one night his mom took more drugs than normal and in her alcohol-induced state accidentally knocked over a candle. The house went up in flames, and while trying to get his mother out a burned beam from the ceiling rafters fell down and onto Arnold's left leg, resulting in his disability. After that, well, there wasn't much they could do except find a therapist to help his mom recuperate and recover from her addiction and get a new house somewhere. Due to that, though, to this day Arnold is afraid of fire and getting left behind. Eventually after a few months/years of recuperation his mom fell in love with her therapist. They got married, and now he's back with a whole family who are supporting of him! Yay! They protect him against bullies, but ever since he's got his disability he's spent a lot more time inside than outside. But his parents still do force him outside sometimes, haha! ^ ^

(Ren in the corner: "WAIT A MINUTE HOW COME THIS DUDE GETS THE HAPPY ENDING AND I DON'T HEY-")

- summary of backstory: He had a pretty good life until his dad left his mom and his mom became a slight drug addict. One time she particularly had too much to drink and accidentally set their house ablaze. One rafter fell on top of his left leg, disabling it. After that and a couple of years of recuperation his mom remarried her therapist (romantic) and they're living kind of happily together.

- amount of training they've had: Not a lot, since people generally think he's useless once they find out about his disability

- love interest: yes and preferably male, thank you (preferably somebody who's the total opposite of him...)

Trivia:

- broken his glasses approximately 6 times, mostly from falling

- Birthday: May 6th (Taurus! I think...?)

- drinks coffee sometimes, but ONLY decaf or coffee with milk

- once or twice left his nails purposely long because he enjoyed seeing the crescent-shaped marks left in his palms when he made a fist, but usually cuts them immediately when bored or the time comes for it (that's me!)

- reallllly loves comics just as much as novels and one day dreams to draw a comic of his own

- a technology dunce at times

- trained himself to wake up early in the mornings and now he can't get out of that habit... although he sleeps in a lot when he has that luxury.

- one time woke up at 12:30 am, didn't look at the time, thought it was a school day, got dressed and got all prepared for school (that is before breakfast) went on his computer and read things... before realizing it was like 6 hours before he was usually supposed to get up. The reason? Later he realized it was probably because he was so excited to continue reading the comic he was reading that his body automatically woke up early.

(this actually happened to me not a lie-)

- other stuff: Alll the other stuff is in the trivia... Oh but Arnold fears being left behind.

- writing advice: i'll give you some later if needed but i trust ya ;)

- passwords: 

1. is that really necessary at this point...?? -v-'

2. NOOOOOOO *runs away* I DON'T WANNA CHOOSE THEY'RE ALL AMAZING AND BEAUTIFULLLLLL-

- thoughts on being an Elys: truthfully the whole thing kind of terrifies Arnold. Like, future and fate-controlling? NO THANK YOU SIR! 

- thoughts on the training: *repeats above* And I quote: "Hunger Games... peace-ified version."

- thoughts on the competition: He really doesn't want to participate since it sounds like the peaceful version of the Hunger Games, but oh well! ^v^

- do they think they'll win?: He hiiiiiiighly doubts he'll win, but nevertheless will try his best!
