// About Arthur Carson //

Arthur was conceived in the form of an egg, before Viper could dispose of it it was found and taken from him. Viper pleaded to get rid of it not wanting it as his mental health began to decline in terror of being a parent. He was deemed unfit by many doctors and yet was ignored by Carson. The egg was blessed in the waters of the holy pool, set atop a pedestal of marker stone and protected as the most precious thing.

Viper was all but locked up after trying to destroy it in an episode of hysteria and psychosis. When the egg hatched the child was human in appearance with black scales that shimmered red with marker script, he had mismatched eyes of pale blue and forest green, and pale blonde hair at first. He was given the name Arthur as Viper refused to let Carson name the child after himself yet again like he had with Alice, it was the only gift Viper gave the child Carson adored and revered as a gift from their gif for his dedication and consumption with his saint and favourite.

As Arthur grew up red streaks appeared in his hair and his skin became tanned with a darker hue due to his dark blood, the child was considered a curse by Viper who refused to nurse, approach, or touch the child on threat of eating it. This continued into his young childhood until the bout was five and Viper was left alone with the child. Panic, fear, and trauma consumed Viper and he tried to kill the boy in a psychotic break before he was found trying to eat the boy and pulled away, sedated, and shipped off to a facility where he received heavy psychiatric care for two years only visited by Carson whilst the public and press were told he was taking a break from the public eye to care for their new child.

By the time the boy was nearly eight Viper was returned to the estate and was skittish, he struggled and had a therapist he had to see regularly as well as medication to keep him docile and from panicking as they slowly introduced the child back to Viper in attempts to foster a maternal instinct even though he still struggled. By the time the boy was ten Viper was able to hold the child, he engaged in supervised activities and admitted he was wrong to the boy and he shouldn’t have done what he did, but he had been scared, hurt, and didn’t know how to cope.

Arthur suffers with anxiety and struggles around people, but is held to a high standard as expected by his father to be a good heir and strong faith. He is a Unitologist and knows the god is real although he doesn’t have much of a connection compared to his parent. He has some right to access Earth due to his parent and is a child of old money thanks to his father; he is smart and enjoys reading and learning, he adores math and business classes, all whilst trying to stay devout to the faith he is expected to. In truth he just wants his parents to love him and to make them proud. So he works hard even if he is sheltered and doesn’t understand the true horrors of his reality.

A gift for @abyssalmarked I am not sorry for this unhealthy villain obsession.

“ Father… ” Arthur looked up at his father nervously, lacing his fingers together he tried to stand tall and brave but it was hard with the fear racing through his heart. He didn’t know where his other parent had gone after they attacked him, but they didn’t mean it really, of course they didn’t. They loved him, they just didn’t say it. They had to love him. “ Where did you send mother? ” He asked quietly, worried for his other parent as they hadn’t seemed so willing, his only scales glittered red on his cheeks in the light as mismatched green and pale blue eyes looked to his parental figure.

Picrews of Arthur above, he is heterochromatic, has blonde and red hair, his parents are Viper and Robert Carson ( @saccharine-serpent and @abyssalmarked respectively ).

Topics of CA and trauma are discussed frequently, Viper is mentally unwell due to having a child and is often absent and neglectful, if not harmful towards Arthur.

These topics may be hard to read you have been warned. But this does not mean I endorse or encourage such behaviours, this is an outlet for my own CA trauma and anyone who experienced these things should seek help through professional means so you can heal safely.

Viper eventually gets treatment , but only when he nearly kills his own child and eventually comes to terms with his own abuse and neglect; seeing his abuser in himself shocks him out of it and he starts heavy therapy and treatments to be able to be around his child.
