Arlo Freeman. A child born from wanderlust by hippy parents, he is used to traveling light and becoming fast friends with people in passing, only to have them be a memory as the season passes. Arlo never spent more than a season or two in any one area for the first sixteen years of his life: Arlo's parents would regularly flip hemispheres every season. Sometimes they would spend half the year in the southern hemisphere during their summer, then find their way back (somehow) to the Northern hemisphere for the summer there just in time to help tend to the various Marijuana fields that they found themselves in for that season. He has many talents and great qualities, but Arlo is known for one thing: a grower of great Marijuana. Word of the young growing prodigy spread and one day, Arlo's parents were given an offer they couldn't refuse - a measly underfilled spoon of smack in exchange for Arlo and his knowledge of growing Marijuana.
Arlo has lived in a way that is not normal to outsiders, his band of "family" built up over the years - just a group of friends created out of interactions and drug-induced talks resembles something along the lines of a loosely affiliated band of Gypsies. Willie Coleman Jr Jr the 3rd traded the Freeman's for their son in an attempt to expand the family business a few years before he was killed in a drug deal gone bad. Arlo was the only one to see what happened to his adoptive father and his adoptive brothers only know what their grandfather, Willie Coleman Jr the 2nd told them. Arlo was closer to Willie Coleman Jr the 3rd than his own parents. After being traded, it was at that moment Arlo realized the bond of family meant not nearly as much as the bond of friends and his motivations became stronger to protect and prosper with them so that Arlo's children would never have to be traded for an underfilled measly filled smack spoon. Arlo was scarred and forever changed after his adoptive father's death and it only strengthened his bond with his adoptive brothers.
Arlo is slow to trust and that is show in his general distrust of the government and believes crazy conspiracies like there is a small handful of people that control the city and it's economics. A spreader of love and medicine, Arlo believes marijuana in any form should not be illegal and anyone attempting to make it illegal is morally wrong. Money doesn't motivate Arlo, the things he can do with money motivates Arlo. Arlo does appreciate a nice handling car, but he is more likely to be driving a black common vehicle trying to fit in rather than stand out. He is more concerned with helping people, showing them the ropes, and giving them a start in cities. Arlo is used to being the new guy, so he tries to make new people as welcome as possible. A loyal friend, he gravitates towards people he connects with and looks out for them, always striving to be the prepared responsible member of the group and always having extra food, water, and resources available to help his friends.
Arlo is not afraid of violence, though he avoids it. He doesn't generally rob people unless they "deserve it" and attempts to be an equalizer of power when he sees things being unchecked. Generally too honest to lie, Arlo does enjoy the occasional misdirection to people attempting to scout for information - being someone that is considered to be so honest really makes that misdirection even more effective. That being said, he will go to war for his friends and family.
Arlo is a nice guy, a (mostly) model citizen that enjoys helping a city "grow" and prosper. He may be opportunistic when he sees a vehicle broke down and unlocked in the middle of the desert, but he sees that as keeping people honest and mindful. He loves meeting people and helping new members to cities once he learns the ropes. Arlo is looking for a city he can help cultivate a Marijuana economy in while driving it to be legalized and eventually would like to run some sort of Cannabis-inspired business, such as a dispensary. He has a lot of experience with growing, harvesting, making concentrates and edibles and would enjoy working with genetics to bring the best weed to the city possible.
