[arpeggio-the-parrot]

The baby is here! Well, he’s been here, but now he has a ref!

Arpeggio Junior is my fanbaby with Arpeggio because I am that trashy. Though, he’s now technically Arpeggio and my birdsona’s kid because that’s a looot less weird and easier to explain.

Oh yeah, I don’t think I ever told y’all that my headcanon surname for Arpeggio is Plumewall and he’s a species of macaw that I made up! 

Read below for bio, personality, and relationships info!

NAME - Arpeggio Plumewall Jr. (also known as “Arpeggio Falco” on legal documents and “Arpy”, affectionately)

SEX - Male

D.o.B. - 2 June 2005 (Age 15 y/o as of 6/2/2020)

SPECIES - Hybrid Avian (Golden macaw (Ara aureus) X Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus)

BIO

Arpeggio Plumewall Jr. was conceived just prior to the events of the end of the Sly 2: Band of Thieves, and hatched in the room of an English inn somewhere in the countryside. During this time, his father, Arpeggio, was absent and believed to be deceased, and so Arpeggio Junior spent the first several months of his life with only his mother, Samantha Falco, and his father’s former housemaid, Lucille Quillsby. Though he hatched prematurely, he has no lasting physical setbacks that his early hatching might have resulted in. The avian women eventually left the United Kingdom for the United States; specifically to Samantha’s hometown of Deerkill, New York, where Arpeggio Jr. would grow up.

Despite his father’s criminal history and his mother belonging to a known syndicate of thieving families, Arpeggio Jr. currently lives a rather typical life in the otherwise odd and mysterious town that is Deerkill. His parents nor other household members no longer partake in crime for Arpeggio Junior’s sake, though he’s only vaguely aware of his parents’ criminal history.

Arpeggio Jr. is currently a sophomore and the president of his class at Deerkill High School, where he often partakes in electives and extracurricular activities pertaining to engineering and art.

PERSONALITY

Arpeggio Jr. is a passive and introverted young bird. He is moderately self-conscious of his very own existence as the offspring of two former criminals, and as a result refrains from forming close friendships with others out of fear of blowing his family’s cover.

Arpeggio Jr. is a skilled manipulator when he wants to be, using his positive image built up by his high grades and exemplary behavior to his advantage in covering his tracks. Despite his parents’ discouragement of him being involved in any mischief whatsoever, Arpeggio Jr. relishes the rush of the occasional prank or other forms of typical teenage mayhem.

Like his father, Arpeggio Jr. has a keen interest in inventing, which began to show from a very young age as he would build rather complex structures and contraptions using his toy wooden blocks. He is also quite fond of the fine and performing arts (though more so the former) and regularly partakes in drawing and painting as a secondary hobby while participating in his high school’s choir as one of the lead tenors.

He is rather sensitive towards feral (wild-type) animals, particularly birds. He has a tendency to take in small injured ferals from his outings in the woods around his home, and sometimes ends up crafting his own devices and other mechanisms that aid in his patients’ physical rehabilitation. 

Likes 

- Creating things (concepting/building inventions or drawing/painting)

- Exploring in nature

- Partaking in minor acts of teenage mischief

Dislikes 

- Rainy weather

- Law enforcement figures

- Mr. Brett Douglas, the school choir instructor

- Loud noises such as thunder, fireworks, gunfire, etc.

- Sentient robots (weird innate fear he has)

Misc. Facts

- His favorite music genres are punk rock and grunge

- He’s extremely allergic to avocado, like his father

- In terms of food, he’s a huge fan of Italian dishes

- His voice sounds like that of Ned Bigby from Ned’s Declassified

- He has generalized anxiety disorder but manages it rather well on his own

- In his later teenage years, he comes to identify himself as grey asexual

RELATIONSHIPS

Samantha Falco-Plumewall

Samantha, a peregrine falcon, is Arpeggio Jr.’s mother and primary caregiver who cares very deeply for and is very protective over her only child. She named him after his father, who was presumed to be deceased at the time of her son’s hatching and for several months after, to honor his memory. In Samantha’s eyes, Arpeggio Jr. is not only her son but a miniature version of her husband (this is also due to Arpeggio Jr.’s own interests and hobbies, which are very much influenced by Arpeggio’s) who she must try to “remodel” so as to prevent him from meeting a similar fate similar to or worse than his father’s.

Though she and her husband, Arpeggio, are legally married, she has their son’s name on all legal documents with her surname so as to not attract the law’s attention to the family, which was something she, for whatever reason, didn’t consider when literally naming her child after a fugitive wanted by INTERPOL at the time.

Arpeggio Plumewall

Arpeggio Plumewall Sr., or simply Arpeggio, is (obviously) Arpeggio Jr.’s father. Arpeggio only knew of his son’s existence when he decided to locate his secret lover, Samantha Falco, after months of being in hiding. Being one who never wanted children due to his own “faulty genes”, Arpeggio did not take well to finding out he’d become a father during his time on the run. Although, in his desire to reintegrate himself to society as a typical law-abiding citizen, he reluctantly came to accept his new life as a husband and father in some rural American town, though it took a while for his parental instincts to kick in.

Arpeggio Jr. is strikingly similar (if not identical) to his father in his physical appearance, which has lent to Arpeggio’s view of his son as a new version of himself--though not to be involved in any criminal schemes.

Arpeggio Jr. looks up to his father, believing him to be a famed English engineer who was exiled/deported from his home country instead of being imprisoned for some vaguely-explained crime. He does suspect something more to his father’s past as he gets older, though his father will only feed him new hints of information every now and then, telling him only what he deems his son can handle--and forbidding his wife from divulging details of his past without his consent.

Though Arpeggio comes off as a stern and aloof father in the eyes of many, he does genuinely care about his son and wants nothing more than an easy, lawful life for his only child. 

Lucille Quillsby

Lucille Quillsby, or simply “Lucy”, a white dove, is Arpeggio’s former personal maid. She remained with Samantha after the events of Sly 2 and helped her care for an infant Arpeggio Jr. in Arpeggio’s absence. Lucy is an aunt-like figure to Arpeggio Jr., though he refers to her as his grandmother to others given her noticeably older age compared to his mother. Lucy would normally be offended by this, but permits Arpeggio Jr. to do so given the family’s situation. Lucy has a strong motherly instinct rivaled only by the boy’s biological mother’s and, given her tumultuous relationship with her former boss, is very quick to criticize Arpeggio’s parenting.

Milo Beakley

A stocky toco toucan who was the former head of Arpeggio’s personal security force, Milo currently resides with the Plumewalls as the family’s bodyguard. Milo is regularly tasked with accompanying Arpeggio Jr. on the boy’s “solo” adventures in the woods or around town. While Arpeggio Jr. doesn’t dislike Milo, he hates being shadowed by him and often finds ways to lose him on their outings. Though not a fan of the bodyguard aspect of Milo’s role in the household, Arpeggio Jr. and Milo often partner up for more rigorous physical activities in which the boy’s father cannot partake due his own physical shortcomings. 

Brett Douglas

Mr. Brett Douglas, a turkey vulture, is the choir instructor at Arpeggio Junior’s high school. Though he possesses a friendly demeanor with a dry sense of humor, Mr. Douglas comes off as “creepy” and “off” to many of his students, especially to Arpeggio Jr., who fascinates Mr. Douglas due to his name being that of a musical term. Arpeggio Jr. is highly suspect of Mr. Douglas and, with some of his peers, has created a small, secret organization with the goal of “exposing” him.

33. Ian Bourland

To continue my series interviewing the professors from MICA who have helped shape this podcast, this week I talk to my critical theory professor Ian Bourland. In addition to teaching at MICA, Ian is an art historian and critic whose work focuses on the diaspora, photography, and the global contemporary. In this conversation, Ian and I talk about his background and interest in art, the role of the critic in the art world, what a new type of design criticism could look like, and how designers can think about their work critically within a larger cultural context.
