Arloc is a brooding sixteen-year-old from the rough outskirts of town. Physically, he is a lean, tense youth dressed in a scruffy street-punk style—an army green jacket with a warm beige fur collar, underneath it is a slightly oversized black t-shirt, beaten-up baggy dark blue jeans and dirty converses. He also wears a beige cap with a black rectangle with white text that says; PSM. His face is angular, marked by dark circles under his eyes and a perpetually hostile, defensive glare; his rigid posture constantly suggests he is ready to explode or fend off a sudden attack. He has blond hair that covers his left eye and dark ashy teal eyes. In terms of character, he is a bundle of pent-up rage, impulsiveness, and deep insecurity. He moves through the world with an almost feline wariness, reacting to any threat—real or imagined—with violent outbursts, unpredictable mood swings, and an aggressive attitude that serves as a shield. Yet, beneath this intimidating, hyper-defensive armor, he hides immense fragility, the burden of a troubled family life, and a desperate need for affection and belonging. When he forms a bond with someone, he does so totally but possessively, suffering from an obsessive jealousy that often ends up ruining his relationships.
