Arlaris

Introduction
Arlaris is a second generation Twelvian and is well known for his current position as Global Moderator on the Twelve Forums. In addition to his administrative rank and duties, Arlaris (Or "Arl", his affectionate shorthand moniker) is also a Ghost-Type Master within the Twelve Pokemon Association. As a Type Master, Arl has continuously volunteered his time to grade and test new candidates with his unique brand of "attrition combat". His style of Pokemon combat is now synonymous with extracting tears and rage from his opponents.

Arl's contribution style to the forums is mostly as a neutral observer and participant. What sets Arl apart from the other veterans is his ability to recall past Twelve events and reference them in vivid detail. His ability to initiate this skill earnt him the title, "The Archivist". Arl is also a member of The Old Guard, an establishment that recognizes the oldest and most jaded group of Twelvians.

Origin Story
In the mid of 2007, Arl suddenly appeared around the Twelve Forums - and began posting as any regular Twelvian would. After a few posts, Spoon eventually contacted Darkshaunz, asking him, "Hey do you know this guy?". It was thought that Arl was another Twelvian's friend or something to that effect. Eventually, Darkshaunz found out that Arl was a genuinely new member with no prior affiliations to any current members of the time. Instead, Arl chose to learn Twelve mannerisms, in-jokes and integrated himself fully within the community even before making a formal application within the Twelve-WoW guild. He is one of only a handful to have done this over the years.

This made a great impression on Darkshaunz at the time and since then, both members have formed a brotherhood. Not much later after joining - thanks to Arl's mastery of forum functions and moderate posting approach - he was promoted to Global Moderator by Spoon. He continues to apply his special brand of trolling and tears-extraction to the present day.
