## History

Arlo was born on June 28, 2007. Unlike his sister, whom he thought was 'a little spy-nerdy', Arlo loved studying for school, wanting to become a businessman. Despite this, he hated English class, because he just couldn't understand the language. His sister, Ali, tried her best to teach English to his little brother, and Arlo tried to understand it. After many years of attempting to learn it, he gave up on trying to learn it, but not before learning enough to partially understand it. When it's vital for him to understand something in English, his sister translates it for him.

In 2017, a little before his 10th birthday, his family moved to Indigo City. This was especially devastating for Arlo, since he knew that America spoke English, and he wasn't good at that language. In school, his parents noted that Arlo was not fluent in English, so he had a tutor, plus "English for Speakers of Other Languages" classes. Through the ESOL classes, Arlo finally became fluent in English, but he feels more comfortable speaking Spanish.

Arlo continued his studies to become a businessman, taking economics classes in high school. After getting a masters' degree in business in college, Arlo created Hony Incorporated, originally a chain of hotels. Hony was a smash hit, and Arlo expanded his business to many more industries, making it a megacorporation. Arlo remained the CEO of the company, loving his job. During this time, he dated then broke up with Alexia Carson. Alexia, angry at Arlo, casually creates Hony's greatest rival, Bryyno.

When he was 23, Arlo took a vacation Las Vegas. Visiting a bar, he got quite tipsy and met Heidi Schneider, who claimed she was 21 years old - and had the ID to prove it. The two got drunk together, and accidentally legally married each other. The next day, when they realized what happened, Arlo got the marriage annulled, unaware that he had conceived a child.

When Arlo was 33, on a month-long business trip to Germany to plan the first Hony Hotel in Germany, he met a little 10-year-old orphan named Zack Schneider (who was already fluent in English). Arlo didn't even have the slightest idea that Zack was his biological son. Zack had been living as a orphan for his whole life, and was beginning to lose hope and think he'd never be adopted. The two bonded through the month and became very close, in a father-son kind of way. When Arlo said that he was going to go back to America, Zack was sad, and said that Arlo was the closest thing he had to a parent. Arlo surprised Zack with documents saying that he was officially adopting him, causing the young child to break into tears of joy. Arlo and Zack went back to America, but Arlo only told his family that he adopted Zack, to prevent him from being 'bullied' by the media. Arlo also allowed Zack to keep his prior surname of Schneider.

Four years later, Arlo re-met Heidi at a bar, and had awkward moment when they realized that Zack was Heidi's biological son, and that Arlo was his biological father. Heidi also admitted that she was 16 when Zack was born, and that she lied about her age. Though Arlo was nervous this would get out, Heidi apologized to him profusely, saying that it was a "dumb decision", and that it was her own fault. Heidi and Arlo eventually agreed to not tell anyone, and if it did get out, Heidi would admit that there was no way Arlo could've known her age. Wanting to be friends, Arlo invited Heidi over to their house, where she was immediately at odds with Zack upon his realization; Zack is adamant that Heidi abandoned him. Arlo and Heidi's relationship grew quickly, as they had memories from the quick time they were together. Despite Zack's insistence that Heidi not get into their otherwise happy life, Arlo and Heidi quickly married.
