indentArlowe is of average height but appears larger because of his gangly build and chitinous armour. His fur is a mix of light gray and pale red with a white underbelly, interrupted by patches of glossy plated segments that resemble a beetle's shell along most of his body. Clever amber eyes peer out from below an injured left ear and his tail is habitually in a slow, happy wag. He carries himself with a relaxed gait and an open, easy stance—though more often than not he is lounging about somewhere.–𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲Positive: Optimistic, Humorous, Peace-keeping | Neutral: Observant, Calculated, Guarded | Negative: Lazy, Glib, Grating
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
indentEasy-going and laid-back, Arlowe is not what most would expect of a guardian. He is so slow to anger that some might claim it is impossible for him. Instead, he has a nonchalant positivity to him, quick to offer quips and find humour in any situation as if it is a personal challenge. Arlowe is equally comfortable blending into the background as he is in a lively conversation.
indentThose who are judgemental would likely describe him as "lazy", for more often than not he is can be found laying or sitting about and watching others. Some would assume the gangly sloth earned his role as guardian simply because of his mutation. He would instead describe himself as "efficient"; be it in a fight or in the day-to-day, Arlow seeks out short and effective solutions that minimize sacrifice. This is, of course, to maximize the time he can spend laying or sitting about and watching others. Arlowe doesn't mind the sneers. After all, his preferred form of survival is being underestimated.
indentThose who are more perceptive will notice that his eyes glint with calculating intellect; observant and incisive, Arlowe silently catalogues the world around him. He pays particular attention to the habits and quirks of his packmates. His humour is part genuine enjoyment of the world and part preferred weapon for de-escalating conflict... or at least, redirecting it towards himself. If anyone can take it, Arlowe figures it should be the one who is naturally armoured.
indentThe way Arlowe sees it, the best way for him to maintain his laidback life is by maintaining his safety, which means maintaining his position in the pack, which means maintaining stability in the pack. Even if, paradoxically, it means taking a few hits every now and then. After all, the weight of his armour is easier to bear when others are around to pick up the slack. Arlowe is hopeful that keeping the peace won't become more trouble than it's worth but if it does... well, no need to dwell on such dour thoughts right now.–𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
WIP - open to developing his earlier history alongside other players for family, friendships, and such!
born to two hunters, always idle since childhood, as he grew his parents tried to instill at least some discipline in him, usually through games. lost father to animal attack.
ear injury, mother overprotective, spent most of his time under her wing as she would bring him on hunts with her to keep an eye on him; cooling off in the lake during summer. Eventually stopped because he started to feel itchy and his fur often clumped together.
Expected to go Omega cuz of his peace-keeping nature or even Hunter because of his time with his mother but went Guardian; an unexpectedly savvy fighter, wanted to be proactive in maintaining his place (and therefore value) to the pack.
indentArlowe's mutation developed shortly before his rank was chosen and has been an ill-fit for his body. Although his armour is a great boon, effective for both defense and offense, it's a heavy weight on his lighter frame. While he has always had a tendency towards idleness, it's been exacerbated by the new frequent need to rest. His self-preservation refuses to let this show to others, however. Arlowe understands that a pack works because everyone pitches in and he refuses to willingly compromise the safety of his position in it. Instead, he doggedly treats his armour with a resolute positivity and occasional quiet visits to Agathi for aches and pains that can be plausibly denied as being related.–𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Postive: ✓ —Negative: X —Neutral: — —Romantic Feelings: ❤ —Family: ◇Tiernan [—] - The wolf to please #1
Regardless of his self-preservation tendencies, Arlowe
genuinely respects and trusts Tiernan. Remaining polite
and cheerful around the old leader is usually easy and
disagreements are rare. Still, when they do occur,
Arlowe thinks it safest to grin and bear it—particularly
when it's about the leader's children.

Oliver [X] - Sore spot
Arlowe doesn't blame Oliver for the accident. However,
he does blame himself for not telling him so sooner. After
all this time, the relationship has festered and the two
flinch away behind polite words whenever they meet.
Though Oliver grows closer to the rest of Arlowe's circle,
the latter isn't sure about reopening old wounds.
Rainier [✓] - Like a chestnut; prickly outside, sweet inside
The way Arlowe sees it, Rainier is a big softy who just
happens to be grumbly sometimes. Well, a lot of the
time, actually, but that's okay. Rainier is always quick
with his apologies and it's clear he has a bigger heart
than he likes to let on. Arlowe truly enjoys Rainier's
company and getting to see his lighter side.

Saskia [✓] - Best bud, always something new to say
The two clicked almost instantly after becoming
guardians and their one-sided chats are a common sight
for the pack. Arlowe is comfortable with rarely doing
the talking when Saskia is around—in fact, he finds it
refreshing. Being around Saskia is never dull and Arlowe
delights in her easy exuberance, seeing in her a fellow
enjoyer of life.

Elysian [✓] - Birds of a feather
Sharing friendly and jovial dispositions, Arlowe and
Elysian get along very well. Arlowe admires her talent
for brightening someone's day. Beyond similarities in
demeanour, their connection has its roots in a shared
tragedy; Arlowe lost his father in the same attack that
took Elysian's parents. It's not a subject that is brought
up often but they share an understanding over it.

Amalie [—] - Desperately needs to unwind
They probably could be friends, except it's clear to
Arlowe that Amalie is on the brink of falling apart. Well,
that and Amalie has judged that Arlowe is "not pulling
his weight" enough. Still, he is determined to help his
packmate by getting her to relax... even if she might
not appreciate it right now.
Persephone [✓] - Familiar habits
While they might not be the closest, Arlowe still views
Persephone as a friend. It’s fun to exchange friendly
flirts as banter whenever they encounter each other.
Arlowe knows it's part of a shift in Persephone's
demeanour but he won't push. Afterall, he understands
using sociability as defence.
Sloane [—] - I'm cool if she's cool
Sloane and Arlowe are not particularly close, but still
amicable. While they might not often cross paths,
Arlowe doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't be
polite to the scout. Plus, maybe a friendly face will
help her feel more welcomed in the pack.
Agathi [—] - Waiting for the other paw to drop
The healer's den has become a place Arlowe visits with
some frequency. He's deeply grateful for Agathi's help
and enjoys their brief chats, yet is still wary around
her; Arlowe knows that Agathi is more than clever
enough to pick up on the true extent of his pains.
Logically, he knows he can trust her but the caution
remains.
Maverick [✓] - Gentle giant
He'd never admit it to anyone but as a pup, Arlowe
was scared of Maverick's size. He's happy he pushed
past it, as he gained an admirable friend. Arlowe
wishes Maverick would see the good in himself as he
does in others; until then, Arlowe never hesitates to
reassure Maverick as much as needed. With only a bit
of occasional light-hearted teasing.
Callon [—X] - Pushing limits
Being an adolescent is a lot—Arlowe gets it. He tries to
be accommodating, yet all his attempts at interacting
with Callon tend to end with frustration. More and
more, Arlowe's smiles grow strained around Callon; he
really doesn't want to admit it, but the youngster is
putting him through his paces.

META STUFF wrote:- Open to romance, but I'd rather get a feel for the characters
through playing a bit first. - In neutral relationships, Arlowe's interactions still lean towards
positive, so a neutral-positive marker for him would be kinda
redundant lol. - Ik the previous note here said I'm up for giving him a sibling,
but after thinking on it for a while I like the idea of him being
an only-child better (´• ᵕ •`) - I imagine that Arlowe's armour is made up of segments of fur
that grew and fused together. Although chitin and keratin are
two different compounds, exoskeletons can be made of
either and are usually composites anyways so with the
power of hand-wavy radiation logic, it's possible!
FUN FACTS wrote:- His name means "between two hills"
- Not to be confused with the citrus used in Earl Grey, Wild
Bergamont is a medicinal summer wildflower. I wanted him to
have a very summery scent lol. Hence the cypress too.
Altogether, it can be summarized as "warm and soothing but
overwhelming if it lingers too long"
