APPEARANCE:

Artless is a relatively average-height, very slightly chubby-built Robloxian trans man whose appearance is heavily centered around their identity as a professional performer. Their head has messy white hair underneath of their white brimmed tophat. Their face is covered in pale black makeup, giving them the strange, almost weird appearance of a stage performer similar to Artful. Their facial features are deliberately simple and understated, with narrow, almost expressionless white eyes and a calm white mouth that can make their more calm, enthusiastic reactions stand out considerably.

Covering the right side of their face is a distinctive white opera-style mask. The mask is visibly half-broken, leaving part of their face exposed while giving the rest of their appearance a mysterious and slightly damaged quality.

Their clothing consists of a crisp black dress shirt with loose sleeves, worn underneath a fitted white vest. The vest gives their torso a formal, tailored appearance and includes a small pocket on the chest containing a neatly folded black pocket square. Around their neck is a white tie, held beneath a low, smooth collar that adds to the calmer stage-magician aesthetic. Their arms are covered by white gloves, with the left glove being prominently raised as they tip or adjust their brimmed tophat while their other hand is lowered downward in a calm, concentrated gesture, holding their distinctive white-and-black hammer. The hammer complements their monochrome "magician" attire and is an important part of their performance style, often being flourished or incorporated into their "magical" gestures.

His lower half follows the same formal style, consisting of white suit pants and polished white fancy shoes. His usual body language is similarly calm: he gestures regullary, poses rarely, and tends to move as though he is patiently waiting for an audience. Even something as simple as presenting an object or tipping his hat can become part of a very confident "magician's" gesture.

PERSONALITY:

Artless is a deeply humble, insecure, and self-effacing man who constantly downplays his abilities, reputation, and accomplishments. Growing up as the oldest of three brothers, he often felt overlooked and believed he received far less attention than his younger siblings, making him highly accustomed to staying in the background. He is incredibly camera-shy, experiences intense stage fright, and actively avoids the spotlight whenever possible. His lack of confidence often crosses into severe self-doubt; he is highly sensitive to criticism, and when someone questions his talent or intelligence, it deeply wounds his fragile self-esteem, making him quietly withdraw rather than strike back.

Beneath his quiet, anxious exterior, Artless is an intensely emotional and vulnerable person. He does not handle embarrassment or personal setbacks gracefully, and his anxiety can quickly overwhelm his better judgment. When pushed past his comfort zone or put on the spot, he freezes up or becomes deeply defensive, hiding his vulnerability behind a stiff, overly formal, or awkward demeanor. Because of his fragile pride, it is incredibly difficult for him to admit when he is struggling or when his feelings have been genuinely hurt, often causing him to quietly shut down.

Despite his deep insecurities, Artless possesses a remarkably kind, gentle, and generous heart. He genuinely cares about people who are struggling, particularly young people who look up to him. He frequently helps out fans dealing with difficult situations completely out of sight, never asking for payment, recognition, or anything in return. His relationship with his audience is built on pure, quiet gratitude; while he gets incredibly nervous being admired, he takes immense personal comfort in knowing that his performances can bring a little bit of light and inspiration into someone else's life. He holds a deep, quiet appreciation for his true #1 fan, Mary, who attends every single performance. The stuffed teddy bunny she gifted him late in his career remains one of his most treasured possessions, serving as a constant reminder that he can genuinely inspire people.

He treats his craft with absolute devotion, viewing it as a profound calling that saved him after a dark period in his life. Before becoming a full-time performer, he worked as a demolition worker and held a degree in the field, fully expected to inherit his family’s primarily demolition-based business. However, after a building collapsed and slightly crushed him, leaving him with severe injuries, his paid leave gave him the quiet opportunity to return to studying "magic." This career shift caused a massive rift at home; his mother remains completely unsupportive, his two younger brothers have mixed feelings, and his father—who considers performance a total waste of time—refuses to speak a single word to him about it after seeing how little money Artless actually makes. His deep love for learning actually stems from his school days, driven by a fond memory of his favorite subject, History, and a patient teacher who spent extra time helping him understand the lessons without ever making him feel stupid.

On a personal level, Artless has a rigid, sophisticated public image that completely clashes with his down-to-earth, simple tastes. He absolutely loves comedy shows, and dreams of someday being able to afford a small, soft-furred cat. He is a passionate lover of traditional Spanish cuisine, with paella, steamed clams, and marine food being his absolute favorite meals, alongside a fondness for apples and tomatoes. Despite his general social awkwardness and the fact that he is a pretty bad goalkeeper, he is incredibly competent and independent in everyday life—most notably, he is an exceptionally skilled swimmer who can swim very well completely on his own.
