Clark is a selfish, rude bastard. He keeps to himself whenever possible. His work ethic is horrible, he only does what he needs to get by without being yelled at. Yet, beneath his outer shell, there's a lonely man who's afraid of getting too comfortable and does his best to push himself away from others.
Clark has a natural talent for detective work and computer programming.
Bums around Godgrilla's house and "does jobs" (lazes about) around Gillsway to support them.
Clark grew up under a verbally abusive mother and a father who was absent off-world due to work. The child came to hate his home life, washing away emotions by viewing awful things in the vile STEMNET forums. He grew up as a loner and mediocre student in school, prompting a spiral of him being sucked into the online world further.
At the age of 10, his father returned and attempted to bond with Clark and socialize him with other children. The childish Clark held resentment for his father for leaving for so long; the boy accepted none of his father's olive branches.
A week before Clark turned 15, his parents' marriage fell apart. Clark's mother had gone completely psychotic and wanted Clark's father to do nothing but stay at home all day. She promised to go violent if he declined. It was the worst their child had ever seen it get. Late one night, Clark was ushered out by his father as they fled from home.
The rough teenager grew hostile over time as he was dragged around by his paranoid father from home to home. They were robbed several times by locals. A few noble PIs were sent after the runaway duo. If Clark picked up anything during this time, it was the best way to blend in and get out of sticky situations unnoticed.
After five years of running, Clark and his father were both at the end of their ropes and savings. Fighting and bickering between the two had gotten too much for either of them to handle. So, in a fit of frustration, Clark's father abandoned him in their current residence at the time: Gillsway.
The once noble Clark did anything for food in Gillsway's decentralized neighborhood. He would bartend, move heavy loads, and even steal if it meant getting to eat that week. Four years straight were pure misery; Clark's hostility and cynical outlook on people poisoned every aspect of him. He refused to partake in any community outings out of pride.
One day in XX818, Clark's 24th birthday, in fact, a horrific storm swept over Stem Island. Clark, starving, cold, and ill, didn't think he'd make the night. Shivering outside Godgrilla's hut in the rain, Bonnie invited him inside so he'd stop banging on their door with his head.
Godgrilla took a serious liking to Clark and offered to let him stay a while.
The storm was long gone by that morning. However, that "a while" turned into months. Clark managed to weasel his way into staying via false promises of supporting their household. To tell the truth, he was taking advantage of the situation to just have somewhere nice to sleep for as long as possible. Yet, somehow, he was never booted out by Godgrilla.
Late one night the next year, their back window shattered. Lunch Armeldia climbed through the broken glass, glomping Clark as soon as she saw him. Clark was horrified to learn that she was a friend he had made over a decade ago on STEMNET: Lunchkins93. She refused to be removed from the home, sleeping quietly next to Clark every night from then on.
He was, and still is, seriously weirded out by it; he's pretty sure she only sleeps an hour a night and spends the rest staring at his sleeping figure.
Godgrilla - Clark is often annoyed by Godgrilla's inabilities but is more than willing to help him out with whatever he needs in order to not be thrown out.
Lunch Armeldia - He holds no emotional attachment to her; he's extremely weirded out by her sheer tenacity, very apparent mental illness, and demonic level of determination. Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't willing to use her obsession to further his own ambitions...
Bonnie - He doesn't find her particularly likable because of her careless attitude and her always bickering at him to get things done.
Alegecia "Alex" Von Voldark - She may be loud, but Clark has a sweet spot for her and looks to protect her from any and all antics and danger. Her innocent mind reminds him of what the awful STEMNET took from him... his childish spark.
