> **Dwight Arlinghaus**, *Defend The Future*

Dwight Arlinghaus (D-why-teh are-ling-haws) is the second protagonist in Defend The Future, alongside Aleksandr Nikolaev and Nikolai Schwarz. His main goal is to get back at his father for murdering his girlfriend, though this is not explored as much.

## Appearance

Dwight has fluffy, white hair. His eyes are a tealish green. Dwight is short, though not the shortest person in the story, thankfully. He wears a small eyepatch since his eye was nearly poked out during a fight in FEE against someone. His usual FEE attire, like Aleksandr's, is a grey sweater and a black vest with his ID card. His casual attire is a grey jacket and MCR t-shirt, with ripped jeans.

## Defend The Future Part One

He is seen in Chapter two, greeting Aleksandr as he enters. Both of them get called into the lab where we meet Nikolai, the scientist and "Doctor" at FEE. He guides them through a new protocol where they have to get a shot, where Dwight and Aleksandr reluctantly oblige.

## Relationships

Aleksandr Nikolaev: Best friend, considerably. They've known each other since middle school and have had a great friendship. Dwight is the one who got Aleksandr his job.

Nikolai Schwarz: Not a big fan of him, but still. Co-worker-like relationship.

Vestikov: Doesn't like him. At all, but whatever? Dwight prefers to talk to Kiel over Vest any day.

## Basic Information

Now, Dwight M. Arlinghaus isn't playing when he says he's seen some shit. First off, he'd watched his mother get decapitated at the ripe age of 5 years old, and that stuff just kind of sticks out in your mind, huh? He'd seen people get beheaded, people getting shot, etc. He'd never lived in a good part of town, especially since he grew up on low income. He only had his father, Trex, to lean on, and Trex never really liked Dwight and his presence. He'd kept him as a burden since his wife refused to get an abortion, and projected his beliefs on Dwight, he always learned to get out of these. When his wife was decapitated, his father started abusing him more, to the point where Dwight just couldn't take it, and he ran away at the age of 12. He was found a couple of days later and his father was furious. When he was 17, he fell in love and got a girlfriend, Emilia Rains, a great young woman whom he loved a lot. They were planning a marriage, and a family all when they were 18 years old. Trex disapproved, though stayed out of their way. Not long after, though, when they were both 19, Trex murdered Emilia, beheading her and leaving her head on Dwight's doorstep as a way to say "What are you gonna do now." Dwight was appalled and heartbroken. He spent the next few years of his life suffering before finally getting a job at FEE.

Dwight was much brighter, pushing these thoughts deep inside and only focusing on the lighter times of his life. He has one great friend, Aleksandr Nikolaev, whom he's known since he was 15. When Aleksandr first learned of Emilia's death, he cried with him and cried all night. Aleksandr knew exactly how Dwight felt and he still does, he'd known this since his father's death was all over the news at the time. In 2012, he graduated from EMAL University to become a doctor, this never worked out though since he felt as though FEE was his best bet. He still has his degree hung up in his office though as a reminder of what he could have become.

He's always wanted to get back after his father for what he did to Emilia and him, he wanted to murder him in cold but boiling blood, slowly and painfully just like how he did with Emilia. He had hated his father, through birth and death.

**Murder:** Murdered a man in FEE in the past.
