*"We all come from and end in the same place, after all. Hydrogen, helium, carbon... We all come from stardust, and back to stardust we shall go." - Arc*

**Arcturus** is a character from Pupa Linono, originating from Earth-030422 (DC Earth). Arc claims to have broken off of a solar flare nearly seven billion years ago, but can you really trust everything they say...? In any case,they seem to have no regard for the mortality of the organisms around them. All they care about is excitement and chaos... and most importantly, above all other virtues, *freedom.*

## Background

For all humanity knows, Arcturus is just a star. Smack dab in the middle of the sky in August, part of the Boötes constellation. And for the most part, humanity is right… if not for the solar flare a Starchild formed in billions of years ago. Chasing an ever-extreme sense of wanderlust, “Arc” dedicated their life to exploring the nearest planets, interested in what these places had to offer.

Unfortunately, whatever they had to offer was not much, and soon Arc grew frustrated with the days that had gone by. Their boredom pushing them to the edge, they summoned an asteroid, convinced that those planets had no virtue left after they’d been through with them. They fled the scene of their crimes soon afterward, looking to find more excitement lightyears away.

With every new planet they discovered, they also soon discovered how monotonous these sectors of space quickly became. A trail of destruction quickly followed in their wake, heralded only by the craters left in the husks of boulders. Now, they have discovered Earth; though this planet seems much more exhilarating than the ones that came before it, only time will tell if this green-blue sphere will meet the same fate.

## Powers and Abilities

Arc possesses an incredible knowledge of cosmokinesis, as well as a unique ability that allows them to manipulate light. This photokinetic ability forms at their fingertips as “stardust,” a highly-unstable and extremely-volatile aura that allows their punches to hit harder. Arc’s physical form also appears to operate counter to Earth’s gravity, allowing them to jump much higher than should be physically possible for a creature their size.

## Artifacts

### Star Traveler's Journal

A journal Arc keeps in order to record significant events whilst they travel the universe. It appears to be a simple leather-bound book; however, whatever material it is truly made out of seems to be indestructible.

## Trivia

* Arc’s favorite food seems to be mushrooms, though they don’t necessarily need to eat. However, they enjoy fungi specifically because they theorize some species may have come from space.
* Cataclus is the first human Arc has made a real connection with. Before him, they often socialized with a cocky billionaire. Through some strange sequence of events, they managed to convince him to launch himself into space. He has since passed away.
* Arc has been followed for centuries by the Weapons of the Armory, a group of celestial bodies dedicated to protecting the universe. However, Arcturus’s method of light-speed travel has constantly kept them one step ahead of the organization.
* Their favorite attraction on Earth was a slingshot carnival ride. Arc rode this slingshot so many times that it eventually became boring, after which they blew it up with their stardust aura. They note in their journal that it is still the most fun they’ve ever had.
* Not much seems to deter Arc and they always have a smug smile on their face. The only time this smile has ever faded was when they met a Roomba for the first time. Since then, they’ve been terrified of all household appliances that use the internet, including the Amazon Echo.
