Arborsburg, Arbor’s Island, Massechuusets
“It was once not but a dream in the minds of few. Now it is a home, a place for we who share similar minds to thrive, play and work.” – Creator

Arbor’s Island is not in fact a real island – yet. As of the moment it is a website dedicated to the Staff, the five people who built and control Aborsburg, and their work. The works come to us in the form of stories, poetry, lyrics and art. It is not only a place to showcase their work, but a place for the staff to share it with each other, as they, sadly, are not together. Again, yet.

The Staff
The Main Staff:

Creator – She seems to be the figurehead of the group, always running the site and updating everything as well as writing most of the stories. While most of her works are still, and have been for awhile, in progress, she doesn’t give up on them and never forgets that she still has to finish them. Overworks herself constantly, falling asleep on a regular basis at her desk (there is in fact photographic evidence of this event, but Creator has refused to share it with us). Much to her dismay, Creator has become a sort of ‘pet cat’ to the rest of the staff, for she is forever getting petted on the head and cuddled as such, especially by Shadow, her boyfriend.

Shadow – At times he is the leader of the group, as he is the oldest and most experianced. Also a voice of reason during skirmishes between the others. As he is the only male member of the main staff, he is jokingly called a player often by his girlfriend, who is in fact the Creator. Shadow is also Arbor’s ‘idea guy’, he comes up with the best ideas that are used for everything from new banners to a progressing storyline. The few times he gets to keep his own ideas is when they turn into the poetry that is showcased on the site, and that page grows faster than any other. He is a caretaker, a big brother to everyone and always makes sure the rest of the staff is safe and happy, even if he himself is in a bad mood.

Secretary – Just as her title says, she is indeed the Secretary of Arborsburg. Not in the way most think, though. She doesn’t make the rest of the staff’s coffee. But she does record everything during the meetings and keeps it all, as she is also the Keeper of the Archive. Being a songwriter, her lyrics are showcased on the site alongside Shadow’s poems. She is also the designer of nearly everything, as she is the one who draws out all the plans for headquarters, character’s apartments, and the like. Being the social butterfly of the group, Secretary keeps the rest of the staff informed when something is going on that they either need to hide from, for secrecy, or go to, to promote. (Yes. An oxymoron.)

Guard – Also just as her title says. But not only does she guard the staff, she guards the headquarters and the island, as she is the head of the Arborsburg Military Force. Also the one of the staff with most random mind, an idea can come out of nowhere for her and she will expand and expand on it until it bores her. (Which has happened, according to Shadow and Creator). Extremely detail-oriented while writing, Guard can take forever to finish a story, but it is always worth it in the end. She is the one who always wants to work, and has been known to keep Creator on track at times.

Spy – Probably the most mature person of the main staff. As such, she has been given the duty of being head of the Creator’s Secret Service, otherwise known as Division 13. While she does in fact love her friends very much, they tend to frustrate and annoy her easily, ‘and when they do that, they get punished.’ As Creator says, rubbing a fading bruise. “She does in fact love us and that’s how she shows affection, she only beats us because she loves us.” – Also from Creator. She is the one who can take control of the room rather easily, so she is generally viewed as the leader of the group most of the time.

The Junior Staff:

Caretaker – Definitly the most mature out of the entire staff, and also one of the oldest, second only to Shadow. Brought in by Creator, she is a dear friend of most of the staff and everyone else does in fact like her. She lives up to her title, making sure everyone is happy. Caretaker is also head of the Junior staff, and runs her own website to showcase her work, titled Willow-works.
