General Information;
Some basic information you should know when dealing with this kid.
All public threads are free game.
Artemis is a grade-A snoop. If he's in your post, he's reading any and all public threads too, so don't be surprised if he starts asking you about something you said to someone else.
Unless your character's highly proficient in hacking/encrypting, (e.g. Cybertronians, Cylons, VEDA, Doctor Who cast), Artemis can and will hack.
Only he won't mention anything about it ICly, and I personally won't, either, unless I have player permission and a strong IC reason to. Just that as it stands, Artemis can code in three code signatures (ghetto Cybertronian, Centaurean, standard human coding) and it's not realistic for him not to try and hack at other people's posts when he knows he can. Of course, it's not all easy-peasy for him if he's hacking at other encryption-proficient characters, but likely can break through it anyway. Which brings us to the next bit...
Like nearly all characters whose canons are named after them - Harry Potter, Naruto, hello - Artemis is stupidly godmod.
He's a child genius born into a notorious gangster family. He kidnaps a faerie after decoding their language, and succeeds in outwitting an advanced race's technology and logistics. He created an eternity code, fashioned after his own coding language, at the age of thirteen. He has doctorates in at least three fields and he's a pretty good composer as well. If he seems like over-the-top smart, that's because he is. Human-smart lol yeah, but that's how he was made in canon. I'm actually playing it down a lot, he's annoyingly know-it-all-forever in the books themselves. Here, have the prologue to the first book:
How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis's own intelligence. He bamboozles every test thrown at him. He has puzzled the greatest medical minds and sent many of them gibbering to their own hospitals. There is no doubt that Artemis is a child prodigy. But why does someone of such brilliance dedicate himself to criminal activities? This is a question that can be answered by only one person. And he delights in not talking.
Perhaps the best way to create an accurate picture of Artemis is to tell the by now famous account of his first villainous venture. I have put together this report from first-hand interviews with the victims, and as the tale unfolds you will realize that this was not easy.
The story began several years ago at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Artemis Fowl had devised a plan to restore his family's fortune. A plan that could topple civilizations and plunge the planet into a cross-species war.
He was twelve years old at the time ...
He's legally eighteen, he's physically fifteen, and he's mentally both ten and thirty-five.
Two words: time travel. It fucks up your psychology.
He has issues with people in general.
Completely normal teenager I-hate-the-world angst, sort of. Well, as normal as he can get, at least.
His left eye isn't human. Part of his DNA has been magic-integrated, also.
Artemis swapped eyes with Holly Short (LEPRecon officer, not human) in canon; his brown eye was hers originally. Artemis also stole magic and stored it inside him when he swam in the time stream; while he can't perform magic anymore, having used all of it in saving his mother, Holly says there are still traces of it lingering inside him when she probed him for residual magic. Basically he's more receptive to magic than he used to be.
