Miah Arthur



Agent Miah Arthur is an Assassin in the Department of Mary Sues. She works in the Freelance Division, because she can't just pick one fandom to obsess about. Her favorite canons to work in are Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, and NCIS.

Origin
After being rescued from an original Mary Sueish story by an amateur author, Miah bounced around the net for many years. She is delighted to have finally found a story world to call home, instead of just serving as an internet user name.

She has watched and loved the NCIS and Stargate Atlantis worlds. She has read many, many fanfics set in these universes and has been deeply saddened and offended on many occasions by the fangirl! treatment of her favorite characters. However, she had no recourse until one day fate intervened in the form of a PPC story by IndeMaat.

Appearance
She is 5'8" with light brown hair nearly always worn in a pony tail. Typical clothing is jeans, t-shirts with no slogans, and--when wearing shoes--beat up tennis shoes (always the same pair, because, really, what is the point of owning 20+ pairs of shoes?) Clothing choice is dictated by whatever smells the cleanest from the pile on the floor.

Personality and Habits
Miah is fairly serious, and studies intently. However, she is also scatterbrained and while focusing on one subject is apt to completely tune out the rest of the world. She can always be bribed with chocolate--particularly brownies. She is in the habit of knitting scarves that look like the one the 4th Dr. Who (played by Tom Baker) wore. These are given away as welcome gifts to new boarders and agents, as the darn things just take up too much room otherwise. She likes to make random Monty Python references.

She is hopeless when it comes to learning the rules of grammar. A frequent complaint that can be heard from her direction is "why can't grammar be as simple as 2 + 2 = 4? No, with grammar 2 + 2 could equal 3 or 5 or 27!" However, a saving grace is that she has fairly good instincts for how to make something "sound good".

She enjoys a messy environment, and feels that excess neatness is a sure sign of a diseased mind.

More than anything she hates canons forced out of character, particularly for the purpose of satisfying shippers.

Partner and Other Creatures Living in 'The Lair'
She recently acquired a new partner, a Super Hero wannabe from the Mystery Men continuum named, Cali Still. His Super Hero identity is The Don of Daylight. When he is not posing and giving huge false smiles, he can generally be found cleaning. He has an amazing knack for organizing almost any mess. He and Miah have not yet come to an agreement as to the state of cleanliness The Lair will be maintained at.

Another recent addition to The Lair is a small, fluffy, gray kitten with wings and opposable thumbs, named Castor. He is a creation of Agent Eileen's, and therefore has a tendency toward mad science when he is bored. Agent Eileen gave Castor to Miah and Cali after the unfortunate incident of the litter of kittens working together to spike the Flowers plant food with Bleepsinthe. So far the idea of keeping Castor out of trouble has not worked too well, since Miah and Cali found that he had gutted their Disguise Generator to build something in Cali's room while they were on their first Mission together.

Weapons
Various non-lethal distance weapons are her primary choice of weapon--if the canon allows. Wraith stunners, zat guns, tazers, tranquilizer dart guns, etc. She dearly wants to come across a Travelor gun that could "accidentally" find it's way back to her RC. All this non-lethality is for the protection of the many Sue possessed canons. The canons are to be exorcised... the Sues aren't so lucky. In her most prized possession, a Heward's Handy Haversack--come across in an online D & D adventure she had a while back--Miah keeps a wide array of weapons such as cast iron skillets, pointed sticks, a basket of raspberries, remote activated explosive vests... you get the picture.

Missions
Interlude: How Cali Met Miah. You thought he was a nursery orphan and he's unconscious why?

First Mission: Miah and Cali Versus the Wraith Lover. In between blello jolly rogers on the SO's office walls, and gutted Disguise Generators, Miah and Cali deal with a Stargate: Atlantis Sue who creates an OC replacement, Not!Todd as the target of her affections. Also, introducing Castor, the winged mad scientist in cuddly kitten form. Marinade yum!

Second Mission: Of Glitter and Men. Miah makes kissy noises, Castor enjoys pumpkin guts a bit too much, Cali rescues four children, and the NCIS continua is saved from a fluffy, wangst!Sue and her plague of glitter. Castor was so getting grounded--no mad science for a week!
