PERSONALITY:
Arthur Kirkland is an old fashioned, stubborn, sometimes strange person, who is verging on alcoholic.
That’s the short version of it, however, and he is a much more complex person than he wishes to let on.
Arthur is extremely easy to overwhelm, as well as being exceptionally easy to make flustered. He has a habit of stuttering as he tries to string together the exact words he’s trying to say. Even then, he often makes mistakes and says things much nastier than what he meant... No wait he didn’t mean to say anything nasty at all!
But will he say sorry? Unfortunately not, even though he’ll feel bad for it, and think about it forever, he won’t say he’s sorry. Arthur is a notably proud person, and even if he feels he should apologise, he tries to explain it away because he feels apologising shows weakness. He has been taught never to show weakness.
He is only stubborn because of this, that he learnt very young that giving way to other people’s opinions made him weak. So he tries to protect his ideals in an almost manic way, insisting until the end that he was right...
Unless someone starts crying. He has two weaknesses when it comes to his stubbornness: If someone starts crying he feels so bad that he starts stuttering up a mess! He still doesn’t want to show weakness, but he hates seeing people crying. The other, is when he’s feeling under the weather. He tends to extremely pliable when he’s ill.
Perhaps, the reason why he’s known for being strange, is his never dwindling belief in the occult, paranormal, and fantastical. Fairies, pixies, unicorns, ghosts, witches and wizards. There’s a never ending lift of magical things in this world, and he not only claims to know it all, he claims to actually know it all personally.
Arthur never forgets... Negative things. If you double cross him, insult him, or hurt him in anyway. He’ll curse you until your death day, and he’ll hold it against you. However, if you do something nice, he’s likely to forget almost right away.
He’s extremely pessimistic, you’re more likely to hear him say “It’s impossible” than “It’s possible”, but if he has someone to push him on he will. If there is someone to stand beside him, he’ll keep smiling and moving forward.
Arthur loves to believe that he is a gentleman. He enjoys his tea and eats with proper table manners, and conducts himself with the highest etiquette... However he has a very bad habit of losing his temper.
Especially when it comes to getting drunk, or people insulting his cooking or ideals.
Arthur is actually rather sensitive, gets lonely easily, and really enjoys human affection and attention. However, once again, having been raised to never show weakness, it’s very very hard to actually get to know this about him.
So, while you could say that Arthur Kirkland is simply an old fashioned, stubborn, sometimes strange person, who is verging on alcoholic. You’d be missing all the deeper aspects of his personality.
HISTORY:
Arthur grew up going through many homes, with his younger brother Peter. He’s always resented him, because he had to bring him along through every home he’s ever lived in.
From the beginning of Arthur’s life, all he can remember is moving from one place to another. He’s had so many “parents” that he can’t actually consider any of them as being his actual mother and father. He’s never met either of his parents, at least not that he remembers.
He’s been through everything, from abusive people, to people who absolutely spoilt him. Even so, he didn’t create a bond with any of them. He constantly thinks about how they would end up giving him up anyways.
More than once it was because of his playing with “Witchcraft” which made the people upset with him, and they would cast him out again.
When he was about 14 he slipped into a sort of “Punk phase” that he would rather forget completely. He regrets it, and believes he made a right fool of himself with all the clothes and make up and music. He even came out of it with a tattoo of a six string guitar on his lower back.
Which he never talks about, ever.
After his punk phase, Arthur tried to keep to himself more and more. It was hard, considering his younger brother was almost always in his face. So he decided he wanted to go to a boarding school.
Unfortunately, it took him a while to actually get into the school. He has the feeling that, surely, his brother will find a way to follow him, and make his time there more “exciting” than it already will be.
ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE:Shindo looked down at the paper with a glare. He wanted to rip it. And then find the kid and spit on him just to get the point across. Even though his mind soberly reminded him, that Kamali was not "his" and probably would never be. He continued pressing the stress out of Kamali's shoulders though, refusing to give up.
"You can get a better job." Was all that Shindo said about the matter, wrinkling his nose at the offending paper came closer and even more of the disgusting words became visible to him. It took all of his will power not to release Kamali's shoulders and punch a hole through the damn thing. He actually felt a little better, after imagining it. He grinned.
"Jadmei used to do that." Shindo suddenly remembered, a grin spreading on his face, "But he was just kidding, and now he's an author." Shindo remembered when Jadmei used to make sexual advances on anything as long as he'd get an interesting reaction out of it. He felt bad that his brother was so subdued now. It made him sad.
"I would offer to help... But that would probably work out terribly..." Shindo had thought about it, plenty of times. Finding his way to Kamali's school and making a scene in front of his class. Why? No clue, he just felt like he wanted to make sure everyone knew that Kamali was his... Even though he wasn't. A soft sigh escaped him, and he half circled around Kamali, and then kissed Kamali gently on the side of his lips.
"Don't get too stressed over it." He muttered, all the while his hands continued working at Kamali's back, "Maybe if you were in a relationship with someone else, then he'd lose confidence and give up." He said this, but he didn't mean himself.
(I didn't feel like writing a second RP sample, so I just took one from a RP I'm currently working on. XD Have fun having no idea what is going on~)
