Arthur Julian Marshall (Buckshot)

"How about I put on a little firework display just for you?" ​​​​​​Arthur Julian Marshall, otherwise known as the freelance hero Buckshot, is a barkeeper in Staten Island, New York, and a long-time friend of Wilbur Hopkins. Initially aiming to be a scientist out of interest in the money, Arthur was expelled right before completing his undergraduate degree, leading him to discover his interest in managing and maintaining a small business near his friend.

History
Unlike Wilbur, Arthur never had a distinct interest in pursuing academics, though the latter did manage to pass school with good grades and even graduated college with a degree in engineering. Arthur came to realize the potency of his power upon using it to save a younger girl from getting mugged, sparking a desire to be a hero in the process. However, he later had a nasty experience when accepting responsibility for an explosion that had been pinned on his future friend, Wilbur Hopkins; upon taking the blame, it took a long time to regain the trust of those around him, and his powers soon became a stigma that dissuaded others from being around him. Despite this, Arthur grew to care deeply about his friend, as he even moved to New York alongside Wilbur and refused to involve the savant engineer in full-time hero activity until he recognized someone he could trust in the Vigilante Unit. Arthur also made a name for himself as the hero Buckshot, but grew fond of the hospitality scene after some time, prompting him to become a bartender.

Appearance
Arthur is of above average height at 6'1". His almond shaped eyes and cerulean irises, along with well-combed dirty blond hair and a sharp jawline often gives off the impression of an orderly student. He has slightly pale skin. While lean and sinewy, Arthur tends to wear his bartender clothing in order to give off a strong impression. When out of his work clothes, Arthur dons a plaid shirt, blue jeans, a black belt, and a pair of leather boots. Lacks in facial hair save for some minute stubble.

Personality
While mostly nonchalant and relaxed, Arthur deeply cares about those around him, so much so that he accompanied Wilbur to New York after he graduated (Wilbur dropped from the school after an incident). Arthur is usually level-headed, and often reprimands himself for using his powers on others, even if it is to prevent innocents from being harmed. However, he is sometimes known for his temper when passionate about something, and has been in one or two unnecessary scuffles since he became a hero. He is also skilled in many casino games and preparing drinks despite being a novice when it came to being a bartender. Although a loner who refuses to join a hero team, he supports heroes when he so pleases.
