Background & Description

Arthur, called 'Arty' by the few people who are actually fond of him, is a Human born on Briori - a world originally belonging to a race of empirical alien overlords who brought captive Humans from 1930's Earth to serve as slave labor. Hundreds of years after they overthrew their masters, the Humans now call themselves Briori and control a small sector of space around their planet.

When Arthur was a boy, the planet was visited by The Voyagers (USS Voyager). Since then, there has been a radical shift in Briori society - with some embracing their rediscovered Earthly heritage and the awakening of The 37s and others terrified of the encroaching Federation and the loss of Briori's unique culture. Arthur considers himself neutral on this issue.

Regardless, this discovery revealed an insatiable hunger for knowledge in Arthur, who took quite naturally to journalism. His long-time friend, Joe Lewiston, and he would end up working for the Briori Sun news outlet - Joe later becoming the Editor in Chief. Lewiston, however, is staunchly anti-Federation. Following a rift between the two men, Arthur has since declared himself independent.

Arthur may come across to some as old-fashioned, particularly in matters related to journalistic integrity or manners (hearkening back to the revival of 1930's culture on Briori). All the same, many find him oddly charming. He is often accompanied by his Talaxian friend and holo-photographer, Pix.

Relationships

Name	Ship Posting	Relationship Status	Comments
Evelyn McLaren	Amity Outpost	Friendly/Romantic	Arthur digs Evelyn. She seems to tolerate him. Maybe something more will come from that.
Wil Ukinix	Amity Outpost	Frenemies?	They both like each other but in a strange semi-adversarial manner. Either way, there's some sort of 'understanding' there.
Kiyaini Ri'zella	Amity Outpost	Professional Acquaintances	Kiyaini is a respectable FNS reporter. That perturbs Arthur, but he still begrudgingly appreciates her.
Keehani Ukinix	Amity Outpost	Mutual Tolerance	Despite irking her, Keehani seems to have warmed to Arthur. Summerside thinks this may be some sort of trick.
Lorqui Kansatsu-sha	Amity Outpost	Unusual Friendship	Arthur doesn't quite get Lorqui - and the feeling may be mutual. Still, they get along well enough.
Rivi Vataix	Amity Outpost	None	Despite his best efforts, Arthur has yet to actually meet the Ambassador. Something which greatly irritates him.
Tidrid Vataix	Amity Outpost	Confused	Tidrid may not know (or, as a Betazoid, perhaps he does!) but Rivi's husband is the only man Arthur has felt confused by...
