Distinctions: In his fifth decade or so, Larkin appears as one would imagine: overweight, somewhat dumpy, affecting a fashion sense outdated in any era and certainly too old for him now; and yet, there is a glitter of wonder in his eyes, preserved throughout these years, to be etched in stone and the fabric of time; his face may very well be recognized from the author photos on the jackets of many NYT Best Sellers

Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (Larkin enjoyed a middle-class upbringing but didn't know anything about his fae heritage, even after his sister lost her mind and was institutionalized; he demonstrated great writing talent even from a young age; after high school, he joined the Navy and qualified as a military journalist; the only action he saw was Operation Desert Storm, but he discovered then that he hated racket and a fast life)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (after his tour, he went to college at NYU, majoring in journalism; he hit it off with a classmate, Meredith; they planned on marriage, and even had a daughter together, Isabelle)
Key Event #2: Personal Tragedy (Meredith was killed in a car accident, and Larkin thereafter became very reclusive, quitting the NYT after only a few years; becoming very reclusive and lost in his writing, entirely fiction, often with grim twists; published novels included Last Lights, Trouble in Old Town, End of Dreams, and Cushioned Hope)
Transition: Loss of Companions (Larkin raised Isabelle as a single father and they grew very close, yet always they remained unaware of their fae heritage, content to lose themselves in their often similar fantasies and wonder)

Weakness
All Work & No Play
Larkin's lost himself in his work. And he's more than a great writer. His work holds Glamour. Real Glamour. But he's always in it, always producing, giving himself little respite, and risking a snap.
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
Larkin stays focused on his work so much that he stays out of trouble. Sadly, he also wouldn't recognize trouble if it came straight at him.
