== History ==
Arthur Layman was born and raised in Union City on Unity Island. His parents were shopkeepers in Union City and each owned their own store located in New Union. His father sold fine and expensive clothing, while his mother sold custom armaments. Their clientele were the rich and elite and that enabled them to live a very good life. Arthur was spoiled growing up, but his parents often fought and argued, especially over the proper way to parent him, which led to his abrasive attitude today. Growing up Arthur’s temper often got him into trouble, but overall he was a typical kid. As a teenager, he became good friends with Dan Price, who attended school with him at Unity Prep School. 
After school, Arthur briefly joined the Enforcers, but was able to get discharged from service early for an injured leg muscle. Afterwards he drifted from job to job until he finally got a job at the Union City Tribune, through his friend Dan, who was the Editor. Arthur is a journalist, who mostly writes a weekly column on life in New Union, but occasionally writes opinion pieces of current events in the Coalition. His hero is Richard Amaros and he writes very positively of the administration and their hard stance on werewolves. He occasionally receives invites to the Chancellor’s parties and fundraisers, but always seems to miss them through the fault of others, although that doesn’t stop him from bragging about being invited. 
Arthur lives on Unity Island in the upstairs apartment of his childhood home. He tried to buy the house from his parent’s since they retired to New Union years ago, but they refuse to sell and instead rent out the main house to his cousin Nigel Layman, a successful jeweler and earth elemental, who uses his abilities to create flawless pieces of jewelry. Arthur’s parents love Nigel and Arthur hates him out of jealousy, although he is mostly pleasant to his face. His parent’s constantly are inviting him to events and show up at his apartment unannounced to harass him about this or that. He loves his parents, but as he gets older he finds himself fantasizing about spending his inheritance more and more, although he has fears that they will leave everything to Nigel.
