Subject Little Arthur

[OverconfidentMagi]

Subject Little Arthur
​

Appearance: 


A young boy with sandy blond hair and green eyes, he quickly outgrew available clothing.


Name: 


Arthur Richardson


Age: 


6


Gender: 


Male


Incident Location:


San Francisco


Power: 


Infinite Growth


Description: 


Subject began growing at an abnormally fast rate immediately after exposure to Subject Alpha. Growth affected all physical aspects equally, more closely resembling a constant upscaling in size than natural growth of the body. The increase appeared to be linear rather than exponential, so there was time to study the subject before his size became problematic. Subject's size continued to increase until it posed a threat to not only himself but everything around him, and should the growth continue unstopped he would eventually pose a threat of a much larger scope.


Type: 


Physical


Phase:


2 


Danger Level: 


4


Status:


Deceased


Personality: 


Little Arthur was kind and fun-loving, a typical young boy. He occasionally became annoyed with the frequent test he was put through and was incredibly difficult to control when he did not wish to cooperate. When remembering his parents and home he would become distressed, and would have to be calmed down before anything else could be done.


The Visitation:


Shortly before Subject Little Arthur's termination it appeared that the subject would die of starvation, as it was increasinly difficult to supply enough food for the ever-growing child's appetite. During one period of hunger, the subject forced his way out of the facility and roamed the desert. Pandora tracked and watched the subject but allowed him to be outside so long as he didn't approach any populated locations. After hours of roaming the desert the subject collapsed and agents prepared for recovery. They were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Subject Alpha. This was the first recorded instance of Alpha appearing not where Subject Omega had appeared. Alpha floated above Arthur for a short time and then simply vanished. Arthur no longer showed any signs of hunger after that incident, and it is believed that Alpha's presence once again changed the subject in some way. This second exposure to Subject Alpha was dubbed Phase 2.


Termination:


The threat implied by true limitless growth proved dangerous enough that the order was given to terminate the subject. The subject refused to eat or drink, and no other method was able to deliver enough dosage of poison to be lethal, and when the initial attempts to terminate the subject failed he broke free of the facility and fled. He was finally eliminated by bombing carried out by the military.
