| “ | Born in the countryside of Portia, Arlo has always had a sense of justice about him. From an early age, he earned a reputation as an excellent fighter and protector of the weak. When he joined the local Civil Corps, he quickly climbed to become the leader. Arlo's goal is to one day join the Flying Pigs, a world famous guild of adventurers based in Lucien. | „ |
| — In-game biography | ||
Arlo is a resident of Portia that the player can befriend and eventually marry.
Profile[edit | edit source]
Personal summary[edit | edit source]
Arlo is a loyal citizen of Portia and one of its proud defenders. At some point in his adult life, Arlo joined the Portia branch of the Civil Corps. Clearly being a cut above the rest, his skills were recognized and despite only being a young adult, he rose to don the mantle of leadership.
As the leader of the Civil Corps, Arlo is a force to be reckoned with. He is arguably the strongest fighter in Portia. Despite his skill, he refuses to rest on his laurels, training not just with his team, but independently as well.
Arlo isn't just physically strong, either. He has a profound sense of right and wrong, and will never take shortcuts when protecting his fellow citizens. Arlo also understands that leadership is about responsibility and not about 'being in charge', noting that the job and training are the same.
Perhaps the greatest ambition of the Civil Corps' noble leader is to one day join the 'The Flying Pigs'; an elite group of fighters based in Lucien, sworn to protect the free cities.
Arlo's horse is named Spacer in the PC version.
Physical appearance[edit | edit source]
Arlo is very tall with red hair, bushy eyebrows, and an anchor-styled beard with no mustache. He exhibits an unimpressed look and generally does not smile. He wears a blue bandanna with "The Flying Pigs" written on it around his neck. His outfit consists of a white and yellow jacket with gray details, lightly distressed gray jeans, black finger-less gloves, and various tanned leather straps and holsters. His boots are the reverse of this with brown being the dominant color with grey straps as detail. He also has a pair of yellow-lensed goggles clipped to his hip that he never seems to wear. These, along with the bandanna, display his passion for The Flying Pigs and his determination to one day serve in their ranks.
DLC outfit[edit | edit source]
The Leisure Breeze outfit is an alternate outfit that Arlo can wear, obtained from the Steam-exclusive NPC Attire Package DLC. The outfit and its hat can be toggled on or off from his character profile, and any changes to his outfit settings will go into effect the next calendar day after the player wakes up.
The player can obtain a matching outfit from the Steam-exclusive Player Attire Package DLC, consisting of the Leisure Breeze Top, Leisure Breeze Bottom, and Leisure Breeze Flatcap.
Both outfits are popular clothing from the city of Atara.
Related characters[edit | edit source]
Arlo doesn't have any family in Portia, but Sam and Remington, his fellow soldiers at the Civil Corps, are his Friends and roommates. Ack, whom he helped rescue when his space station crashed into the Collapsed Wasteland, is his Buddy.

Schedule[edit | edit source]

At the end of the day, he returns home to his room in the Civil Corps building. His home is open all day.
All times are in 24-hour format. Certain events may alter his schedule.
Arlo’s schedule is influenced by his relationship with Nora, which the player decides.

If the player supports their relationship, they will start seeing each other more often and can been found near the Duck Pond and the Round Table.

Desires[edit | edit source]
The following items are desires, or wishes, which are randomly assigned to one or two characters per week. The player is required to be at least at Associate level with Arlo for him to be assigned a desire. More desires have a chance to appear as the player's friendship with Arlo progresses; the new desires are added to the existing ones but do not replace them. Some characters may desire an item that they do not normally like.
In the event that Arlo has a desire, gifting the wanted item will provide the higher tier points; otherwise, on non-desired events, the item gives the base point value. The birthday or festival day relationship bonus applies when gifting a desired item.

After the player has successfully confessed how they feel to Arlo, the player can schedule a romantic date with Arlo.
Dine[edit | edit source]
If the player chooses to dine at The Round Table with Arlo during a play date or date, it is recommended to order dishes he will like. If asked before ordering, Arlo will sometimes tell the player exactly which dishes to order; other times, he will just give little hints. In the event that Arlo does not specify the exact foods desired, the player should order between three and six dishes, depending on what hint he gives. It is recommended to order each of those dishes from different courses, ex. ordering one Appetizer, Meat, Vegetable, Dessert, and Drink course each, rather than five Desserts.
Arlo's food preferences are listed below. The player is advised to use these preferences only when Arlo does not tell the player what to order. If Arlo tells the player a list of dishes to order or gives a hint, it is advised to follow his wishes instead. The full restaurant menu can be found at The Round Table page.

Arlo likes to look at particular completed relics, so after the player has donated such relics to the Museum or displayed them in their yard, Arlo may come visit the Museum or the player's yard to view these relics. Such visits will earn the player relationship points each time, with the amount dependent upon the relic.
