 — In-game bio

**Arvio** is a resident of Sandrock and the general store owner of By the Stairs. He is Amirah's brother.

## Profile

### Personal summary

Arvio is the owner of Sandrock's general store By the Stairs. He is a salesman by heart and works hard to improve his shop and its sales. Like his older sister, Amirah, he is a native of Barnarock and had a hard start in life. Arvio cares deeply for his sister and would never do anything - including business - that could upset their relationship. He enjoys relaxing under a sunshade looking on the oasis or relaxing in the gaming center. His sister often joins him for dinner.

Some of the cosmetics Arvio sells were developed by Haru before Haru and Logan became criminals. Arvio still keeps an account with Haru's share of the profits hoping that eventually Haru will be able to return and collect them.

### Physical appearance

Arvio has dark brown hair, brown skin tone and gold eyes. His default outfit is a grey vest and brown shoulder bag over an ivory shirt with blue accents, along with a yellow and purple scarf as a belt, worn grey jeans and brown laced boots.

### Social network

Arvio is Amirah's younger brother. He is also buddies with Rian as Rian sells his works through Arvio's store.

### Gifts to the player

Arvio has a chance to give the player a gift on their birthday when the player reaches Buddy level with him. If more than one possible gift is listed, only one randomly chosen gift will be given.

Arvio will also send an engagement gift the next day after the player successfully proposes to him. For the engagement gift, all items listed are given.

## Social interactions

###  Chat

See **Dialogue subpage** for all Arvio's dialogue.
Chat is a basic social interaction available at any relationship level. Chatting with Arvio once a day can increase the relationship by 1 point; subsequent chatting, on the same day, only results in the same conversation without any relationship gain.

Arvio's dialogue may change every day and every season. Arvio may also comment about certain events or missions. Higher relationship levels, including romantic involvement, also change Arvio's dialogue.

###  Gift

* You can give Arvio one gift each day. Repeating the same gift on consecutive days will reduce its impact (**Loved** gifts become **Liked**; **Liked** become **Neutral**; no change for others).
* All giftable items have a base point value. The 'Special neutrals' section in the table shows neutral items with higher rewards than their base value.
* High quality gifts may give extra relationship points, based on their sell price.
* Gifts on Arvio's birthday are worth three times more, and twice as much during festival activities, boosting the value of Desires too.
* It is possible to present 2 birthday gifts: one after midnight and another one after waking up in the morning.

#### Desires

Desires are gifts Arvio has a chance to ask the player for. The player has to be at least associates with Arvio in order for him to be assigned a desire.

If Arvio has a desire, gifting the wanted item will give the higher tier points; otherwise the item gives the base point value. The item's quality is taken into account when fulfilling a desire; gifting Arvio a higher quality item will yield more relationship points.
