Arjun Arthreya
Delusions of Grandeur. Nope. Arjun's (Junebug's/Juny's) professional debut on the VGEM team was met with more than positive acclaim. Some called it a Tour de Force. For others it was much more. Catapulting himself into the synthetic biology spotlight was hardly an achievement in the eyes of this manipulative fiend. His sharp intuition and his deep understanding of fire have allowed him to develop quite the reputation as a formidable adversary to some of the premiere geneticists of his time. No jest. As only a rising 3rd year with experience in Chemistry and Psychological mind games, stay tuned for more news on this master of mayhem, this conniving culprit, the one, the only, FIREBENDER!!
