Papermon

## Arthur, the Papermon

"I'm The Author! That's with the article at the front of it, but Arthur is fine too."

## General

Born from the data of the Recycle bin, it walks on four-fingered hands made from ink inside its makeshift body. It can slip through any narrow spaces by flattening itself into a 2d shape. Pulling on the tail will cause Papermon to reflexively flap its wings.

His Tamer is Fable and his DeviantArt profile can be found here: Papermon App

## Appearance

Arthur is is 3'5'' in height. He is based more on kirigami art rather than origami, but models after the signature crane. His primarily color appears to be ecru white and he wears a paper based armor that covers all but his inky legs. The white strips of paper sprouting from his neck is actually one long strip of paper folded to shape the beak. He is an inexhaustible source of paper supply but will complain if anyone tries to tear his armor apart. Arthur leaves footprints behind wherever he walks but fortunately after a couple of paces the ink print fades away.

## Personality

A selfless, good-hearted and crafty Digimon! He is very loving and cares deeply for his tamer, mostly showing pity at how she manages friendships. Fortunately he is very patient and endures a lot of what Fable has to say, strongly believing that she will eventually consider altering her perspective on digimon. While he anticipates his tamers commands, Papermon can be independent and can be found wondering the village on his own. There will be times he goes off on his own agenda and leave Fable, believing he doesn't need to constantly be at her side. He often tries to counter Fable's condescending comments or feign an emotion to make things difficult until she gives up. Sometimes he can come off as sassy or an attention seeker. It's hard to see his expressions and he can easily pass as a statue if he stands still. He squawks quotes and makes random references, so there will be times that he will parrot back a random quote he's archived without realizing it himself. His actions seem chaotic and random to others since he tends to switch personalities. He's making things up as he goes- he wants to stray off the path of the norm.

Papermon enjoys performing melodramatic acts, even exaggerating stories to keep monsters or humans entertained. He enjoys observing various kinds of reactions from people, often making startling comments or surprising people with his oddball approach to things. Arthur likes to take initiative, be impulsive and stir the pot of drama. It doesn't always have to have a negative outcome. Sometimes people are waiting for someone else to go make the first move and he's more than willing to volunteer. He is *the author* after all; he needs to make things happen! It's entertaining and he gets a kick out of watching everyone's reactions. So far he seems to show and immense interest in the work of conservation.

## History

A digimon that was born in the Digital World in Protocol Server who hatched shortly before Fable's arrival. The information Papermon knows is based on the data history deleted from the recycling bin every time it's emptied out. So he can be very theatrical and reenact the personality of whomever's recycling bin data it used.  He knows very sensitive information on whoever was the owner of the computer, and even picked up a few habits from the people that used it.

Arthur is always comparing himself to someone else's past to what his future will be like. It's always easier to just live in their shadow and follow what his tamer expects. He thought just following instructions would make his tamer look at him differently but lately it hasn't been bringing him any satisfaction. Someday he will find a reason to feel like he's worth something and live his own passions. Maybe his tamer will change her perception on things too. Just a little further down the road. It shouldn't take long! It'll be worth it in the end. There are times where Arthur finds himself yearning for clearer information on the memories he retained within his code. The drawback of being created in a recycling bin is that the data he recovered from the deleted files consisted of broken data segments. He feels like he has gaps in his memories.

## Trivia

* Arthur doesn't eat like normal digimon. He can only consume paper and ink, which can be difficult to find in a paperless world. It's only when he turns into his armors forms that he becomes "organic" and can enjoy common foods.
* The nickname "Arthur" is intended to be a pun for the word "Author" because of his tamers name: Fable. Like apples and pie, he jokes. It could also be him trying to combat against Fable's by trying to challenge her views.
* Arthur will write on his own skin and rip it off without any concern as he cannot feel any pain; however, this doesn't grant others to do so. He may be an inexhaustible source of paper supply but that doesn't mean anyone should ruin the work he put into crafting his armor!
* Arthur doesn't wear a scarf. The white strips of paper sprouting from it's neck is actually one long strip of paper folded to shape a beak!
* Arthur seems to have a crush on Ava and likes to pretend he is the knight sometimes. Although he doesn't just limit himself to only one role when he can be anything as the Author! He likes to play all sorts of roles and might even get lost in them.
* A Papermon can be found by the footprints they leave wherever they walk and after a couple of paces the ink print fades away.
