FEARS
- Ending up alone. It’s stupid, but Arthur is afraid to end up all alone. Even though he puts up walls, he still doesn’t want to end up alone and be lonely.
- Drowning. He can’t swim, which is one of his biggest weaknesses according to him. He’s afraid to drown one day.
QUIRKS/ODDITIES
- For someone from a country surrounded by water, it’s strange to not be able to swim. Arthur never learnt how to swim and avoids deep waters as much as he can.
- He has a pair of monsterous eyebrows. People often try trimming them, someone even waxed them in his sleep, but they grow back within one or two days. It's hopeless.
OVERALL PERSONALITY
At first glance, Arthur comes off as a complete stuck up Briton, who strives to be a proper gentleman and is polite and kind to everyone he thinks is worth it. He is known to be sarcastic and cynical on the other hand. He’s a very pessimistic person overall and always thinks of the worst rather than the best.
He who complains a lot. Though no matter how much he rants about something he can actually quite like it. For example the rain, he complains a lot about the shitty weather, but Arthur loves the rain. Arthur’s character could be described as tsundere.
Arthur comes off as very harsh most of the time. He often times doesn’t mean it, but it takes some time for him to soften and open up to you. He has a hard time expressing his feelings and therefore doesn't like to talk about them. He lacks the social skills. He tries to often isolate himself from others.He is bad with accepting compliments, he isn’t very used to compliments and kindness towards him, therefore he doesn’t know how to take it.
He has a short temper and can easily be 'pissed off'. Especially when you make fun of him. 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 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 otherwise.
Beneath the surface of this cynical, stuck up stubborn Brit lays 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 embarrassed to actually make a move towards the person he fancies.
Rp sample (from another roleplay):
Arthur returned home from the monthly world meetings that left him a killer headache like usual. He let out a tired sigh as he sank down in his lazy chair with a cup of hot earl grey tea. Finally, he was alone at last. He wasn't a big fan of those meetings. They always ended up in arguments. Most of which, somewhat caused by the British nation, though he would always deny that to anyone that implied it.
Why can't they be peaceful and nice for a chance? He let out a more content sigh as he took a first sip of his tea and watched the rain fall down. He liked the rain, especially on a summer day like this. The smell of rain on hot sidewalks was nice. He sometimes wished he could enjoy these things with someone. Then again, who would come for his house for just that. Maybe Kiku? yes, he was isolated like himself, the two could relate to one another, but he enjoyed quiet time with himself.
He finished his tea and put down the cup with a sigh. The room still filled with sound of pouring rain and ticking of the old clock on the wall.
Even though the meetings were a pain in the arse, he would feel suddenly so alone, when returning to an empty house again. It wasn't like he was lonely or anything, because that was ridiculous, he liked to return home alone, finally a break again from every single nation that kept on bugging him during the entire stupid meeting, yeah...he was perfectly fine when he was left alone like this.
