**artstetic** is a later member of the Artist SMP. He originally started under the art gallery in a maze-like area. He has come to be one of the more universally lovable characters of the ASMP universe, opting for friendship and having yet to cause any real conflict with the others.

## Appearance

Arty is most notable for his head, which is best approximated as a boxy, CRT television with two wires connected into the back with an orange and red head. His TV screen is cracked and constantly plays static footage. His hands, arms and presumed remaining body are made of some metal.

Throughout the series, he has been shown to have various outfits.

**V1.0 / V1.1:** When entering the SMP, he wore an incredibly dirty, gray jacket-and-pants uniform with black, undefined shoes. The jacket is unbuttoned in some places, revealing the black undershirt underneath. Along his right upper arm was a gash with redstone. In V1.1, the wound is covered with poppies and he is slightly cleaned up.

**V1.2:** A simplified version of his Shadow Prom outfit. He wears a red vest with gold buttons over a beige dress shirt, with red sleeve garters and bowtie. A poppy is placed in his right breast pocket. He gains brown, fingerless gloves and brown belt. His pants are dark gray and pressed, with similar and unidentifiable black shoes.

V1.1 Reference
## Personality

Arty is incredibly friendly and peaceful, offering flowers to many people he first meets. He is quick to trust, declaring Taffy, Oddity and Whespir his friends on the first day on the SMP. He also has a distaste for the current tensions between the past members of the SMP and their war affairs.

He is rather innocent and pacifistic to others, constantly opting to make peace rather than war, even with those of malicious intent. Regardless of what others say on a person, Arty encourages talking things out and keeping a peaceful demeanor.

## Lore

### Before the SMP

Arty has little to no current recollection of his past, commenting that all he can remember is 'walking'. When soul read by Bill, most of his memories were blurred by static but still contained lots of deaths, a notable lack of people, and peaceful melancholy.

#### Infinite Loop Fake Character Intro

"Infinite Loop" was a prank character intro before artstetic's actual entry into the SMP. It depicts who we assume is Arty as he travels through a superflat plains biome, eventually coming across a portal that sends him elsewhere. A narrative in robotic text-to-speech describes various descriptions of 'infinity', 'endless' and 'end'.

### Abilities

#### Lives System Exceptions

Arty has had various deaths since the start of the SMP, breaking the three lives system on his first few days of appearance. He often comments that he is 'used to death' and comes back at a faster pace - while most members may take days to return, Arty comes back from canon death in minutes.

## History

### Debut

During their run-ins with other new SMP members, Henki, a newly-arrived Kitsickles and Oddity ran into the downstairs area of the gallery. They don't travel too far, as strange sounds resonate from somewhere deeper and scare them away.

On the same day, Taffywaves returns from her most recent death within the Bunker. She meets with Oddity to catch up and make their way to the art gallery while discussing what happened. Oddity mentions the sounds from earlier, traveling deeper and finding a maze-like area underneath. It is dark and now resonates a sound of static, which the duo find annoying and aim to get rid of.

Following a trail of red substance, they come across a strange man. He lets out some of the same unnerving sounds during Henki's short visit and proceeds to chase after them, backing them into a corner. Oddity ultimately kills him and the two find their way to the exit, before the man returns to them, now revealed to be a player and not a threat as first assumed. The two decide he can be spared, name him after the art gallery (Art-y), and show him around the main residential area.

He is shown to have behaviors, such as an attachment to poppies, a fear of rain and water, and being revived almost instantaneously. At one point, he is electrocuted by lightning and comes back only minutes after. He also talks through a book and quill for most of the stream, as he notes that his voicebox is broken but can be repaired. They drop him off at the Dapper Pelican, where he decides to stay temporarily. He says that he would like to make friends with everybody, including those outside of Villaj and Cove, and that he may look to help others in order to find purpose.

## Trivia

* Artstetic is one of the five members that joined via the first application opening.

* He is currently the only 'mute' or non-speaking member of the server, operating through book-and-quill or written communication.
	+ Through mechanics work done by Whespir, Arty is able to speak in a text-to-speech-like tone. It is used sparingly.
* He is the first member to technically lose three canon lives on stream.
* His favorite color is red, which could be tied to a case of colorblindness.
	+ He has previously noted that various colored flowers are seen by him as 'gray'.
