Appearance – Arthur Morgan is a roughly 36 year old Caucasian man of a stocky build and a no-nonsense demeanor. He has tanned skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. He has a scar on his chin and some stubble. He commonly wears a black Grizzly hat, a long-sleeved, blue-striped shirt with suspenders, and dusty brown canvas pants, all paired with a sturdy set of square-toed boots. He wears a black bandana around his neck as a way to conceal his face if needed.
Personality – Arthur considers himself to be a bad man. He intimidates others and has very few qualms about killing; when challenged by an enemy, Arthur is unsympathetic and ruthless. Yet, Arthur does not kill or hurt others out of personal enjoyment, and he is fiercely protective of those he considers his allies. Unless someone has drawn a weapon with clear intent to harm/insulted him, he will often be friendly and even playful. Because of his tough guy demeanor, many would consider him an idiot. On the contrary, Arthur is a very practical person with a high degree of self-awareness.
Possible Reactions – If confronted by multiple aggressive persons, Arthur will not back down or flee, preferring to fight instead. He cannot be intimidated, bullied or bribed. When faced with a clearly sinister person, Arthur will either opt to avoid them or, if confronted, employ heavy sarcasm and his fists. Generally good, well-meaning people, on the other hand, are not obstacles to be eliminated in Arthur’s eyes, but potential allies (possibly even friends).
Relationships –
Mickey Mouse - Brief conversational partner, Arthur thinks the mouse is a weird (due to being an anthropomorphic animal) but kind feller. Would hesitate to kill, even if attacked. A potential ally, but maybe not.
Mugen - Met him briefly, seemed to be a friend of Mickey's. Would not hesitate to kill if attacked.
Ashe-0 - Brief conversational partner. A gigantic woman who says she's a death machine. Would not hesitate to kill if attacked.
Roy Mustang - A rude lawman in Arthur's eyes. Would not hesitate to attack/kill, and would likely instigate.
Kopaka - Brief conversational partner. Arthur helped him learn to read a little better; thinks he seems like a capable and scary iceman. A potential ally, but would not hesitate to kill if attacked.
Gilgamesh - Brief conversational partner. Arthur helped him learn to shoot a little better/offered a refresher course on the subject. A potential ally, but would not hesitate to kill if attacked.
Suwako - Briefly met, would not hesitate to kill.
Aku - Briefly met, would not hesitate to kill.
‘Combat’ Style – Arthur is very self-possessed and cunning when in combat. He will often seek shelter behind an object to gain a better vantage point, only then seeking paths to get closer to his opponent and take them out. When with allies, Arthur will try to defend them at all costs.
Eligible Abilities –
Natural Strength
Damage Rank 2 (200E)
Endurance Rank 2 (200E)
Total Cost: 400E
Arthur isn't a stranger to melee combat and rough living. He can kill a man with a well-aimed hit to a vital area and is physically fit enough to endure traveling long distances on foot or days of hard riding on horseback.

These are some general dialogue tips for Arthur, though these rules don't always apply, especially if the dialogue wouldn't make sense because of them.
