Biography
Artie has been at the school for as long, if not longer, than the older students such as Kitty Pryde and Theresa Cassidy. Little is known about his background: when Sarah Morlocke arrived, she identified him as one of the tunnel-dwelling Morlocks who had somehow survived the massacre. Artie himself has been unable to communicate much of what happened - he appears to have no great memory of his life before Xavier's, and his inability to speak also makes things difficult.
At the school, he originally shared a suite with Doug Ramsey and Jamie Madrox, becoming roommate and inseparable best friend to Miles Blaire when he was brought to the school by Alison. Sarah later identified Miles as another Morlock, however he too had no memory of that life. With the departure of Jamie, Miles and Alison to the West Coast Annex and Doug's job with the Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs, Artie lost most of his friends. He rooms now with Leong Manh, brother to Shan, and along with Leong's sister Nga and Shiro's little sister Leyu, is one of the school's floating population of students. He will be a sophomore in the coming school year, no longer one of the 'little ones'.
Powers/Abilities
Artie has a blue, forked tongue, much like a lizard's or a snake's, which renders him unable to speak. He is compensated by the ability to project images or 'psychic holograms' of varying complexity - this ability has improved over time, and his images have become gradually more realistic from the basic 'stick drawings' of his early life.

PB: Freddie Highmore
Socked by: Formerly Frito, now a mod sock. He is also one of the only NPCs with a journal x_artie (Charles Xavier is the other.)
The PB was changed in 2009 on account of Artie not being ten years old any more, and there not being a lot of older images of Bryce Hodgson out there.
