CHARACTER
Name: Artemis Fowl II
Canon: Artemis Fowl
Age: 14
Demigod/Hunter/Satyr/Nymph: Post-Ragnarok Loki
Demigod abilities: Artemis will have Loki's ability to shapeshift. As of right now, that ability is limited to animal forms. Other than this, he has absolutely no battle prowess and has no interest in pursuing it. There's a reason he's mostly a planner.
Personality: Cold. Calm. Intelligent. Those three adjectives are the top three that best describe Artemis Fowl when someone first meets him. He wears a mask of calm, and tries to keep an inner calm during stressful situations. He can also come off as arrogant, which he most likely is, but it's borne of a high level of self-confidence in himself and in his intellect. Artemis prides himself on being a child genius following his father's footsteps, even if the paths those footsteps are walking have changed. He has the maturity and vocabulary of an adult, though he does have his moments of being a hormonal teenager. Artemis also prefers logic over imagination, something he's made mention of in the series once or twice.
As stated previously, Artemis is arrogant and confident, or at the very least he can act like he is. He's good at acting and manipulating people, tricking Holly and other humans successfully on more than one occasion to get what he needs or wants. For example, to save his mother's life, he tricks Holly into believing that it was because of her magic that Angeline Fowl's life was threatened by a fairy sickness. Artemis regrets making that decision, but he was desperate to get fairy assistance. However, he can also exploit the weaknesses of others, such as Opal Koboi's rampant narcissism. He knows that Opal's fatal flaw is that she thinks of herself as perfect, and exploits it to the fullest in order to achieve a victory over her, even if it costs his life.
Over the years of knowing the People, Artemis has developed a conscience. He used to do whatever he pleased so long as the end result got his father back and kept the Fowl finances secure, and damn the consequences for those actions. With both parents back together in the same household and having good friends among the People, Artemis starts to regret lying and stealing just for his own profit. Granted, this doesn't stop him from doing things that are illegal, but he mostly focuses on making profits in more legal ways.
He has an unfortunate tendency to lecture for quite a while about some details before divulging his plan. Sometimes, he delivers such lectures in a way that makes it sound like he's talking to a five-year-old. It takes Artemis a little bit to get to the point of a matter, such as when he explains the problem the demons face in The Lost Colony to Butler. Instead of just saying that the spell that took the demons out of time is collapsing, he gives more background information on the subject so that the person knows the "why's" and "how's" of the matter. As Artemis told Myles, one of his younger brothers, knowledge is always important. The day can always be saved as long as you rely on your intelligence.
Artemis is, essentially, a person who frequently indulges his curiosity. If there's something he doesn't know, then he will hunt down any and all information pertaining to that something. Not only that, but he's also a very stubborn individual. This stubbornness combined with his curiosity is what eventually leads him to the rediscovery of the People. He does have motivation to indulge that particular curiosity, though, and that's to find his father in northern Russia. That's another thing about Artemis Fowl. He adamantly refuses to give up on the people he cares about. For example, when Butler gets shot in the heart, Artemis uses his knowledge of cryogenics to preserve his best friend until he can get fairy magic to bring his best friend back. He also refuses to take no for an answer in these situations.
Still, he does have his moments of sincerity. These moments usually has Artemis stumbling over his words, unsure of what the right thing to say or do is. This trait is most prominent at the end of The Arctic Incident. When he says good-bye to Holly, he tries to thank her for saving his father's life. It's the first time he not only fumbles for words, but even babbles a bit before Butler nudges him in the side to cut him off. He has a hard time truly expressing himself, which is mostly due to lack of practice in that area. Artemis also has a tendency to carry guilt for years on his shoulders. For example, he will forever regret lying to Holly to save his mother's life in The Time Paradox, and the guilt of making his mother a target to Opal Koboi leads him to develop the Atlantis Complex in the book of the same name.
Despite his high IQ, he doesn't always have a backup plan. As Holly has put it in The Last Guardian, if Plan A doesn't work, then there might not be a Plan B ready to be implemented at the drop of a hat. His self-confidence is also somewhat fragile, at least in terms of his intelligence. This is first seen in The Eternity Code when Jon Spiro outsmarts Artemis from the start of their business operation and almost gets Butler killed. In The Last Guardian, he feels that he's gotten predictable and has no plans springing to mind, thus dealing a heavy blow to his confidence. It prevents him from coming up with an adequate plan until nearly the last minute.
Artemis hates it when people treat him like a kid. He tends to be heavily condescending and sarcastic when this happens. In The Eternity Code, he sends a waitress off in near tears when she asks if Artemis wants to look at the children's menu. To him, it's an insult to his maturity and intelligence, and he won't tolerate such a thing.
AU History: Artemis Fowl II was born into a very wealthy Irish family. He came from a long line of cunning thieves, and the family motto they most stringently followed was, "Aurum est potestas," Latin for, "Gold is power." From the day of his birth, he was assigned a bodyguard who only went by the last name of Butler. Artemis was also taught by his father that gold was the most important thing, and that they had to safeguard it. His mother, though, was the complete opposite. She had a passion for helping people and animals in need. She wanted the Fowls to use their brains and fortune for the benefit of other people. It was the cause of more than one argument between Artemis' parents.
Other than those arguments, things were going smoothly until Artemis turned ten. His father was embarking on a legitimate business deal in Russia, promising that after that went through, the Fowls would turn away from generations of crime. Unfortunately, the ship Artemis Fowl I was on, the Fowl Star, sank and his father went missing, presumed dead. The news drove Angeline Fowl into such a depression that it was becoming quickly apparent she was losing her mind. Indeed, it got so bad that she wouldn't recognize her own son at times. She would threaten to call the police on Artemis if he didn't leave or even throw things at him, and refused to leave her room.
Honestly, had it not been for Butler and Butler's little sister, Juliet, he would've been worse off than he was. Artemis grew cold and distant, especially with his mother since he had no choice in the matter. He also had a desperation to keep the family fortune secure, turning to crime in order to fund the Russian expedition to find his father, as well as get back what had been taken by their shareholders abandoning ship. He held onto the hope that his father was still alive, and that if he found him, then maybe his mother could be saved.
A year and a half after his father's disappearance, there was a breakthrough with his mother. Artemis wasn't sure how or why or what happened, but Angeline suddenly left her room on Christmas Day. She'd smiled and given Artemis a big hug, and apologized for her behavior over the past year. That year would still remain with him as the most acutely painful time of his life, but the moment Angeline had hugged him was the moment he never felt happier. He took care to keep an eye on his mother in case she had a relapse, but he concentrated his efforts on finding his father with more passion than ever before.
Finally, when he was twelve, he got a message from the Russian mafia. It was an encrypted video message that showed him his father, tied to a chair and missing a leg. With the help of Butler and their collective contacts, Artemis devised a plan that would rescue his father from the mafia's clutches. It was a very close call, as his plan had been full of ways it could go wrong, but in the end they were successful in rescuing Artemis' father. Artemis Fowl Senior would be hospitalized for months, and then would need years of physical therapy after getting a prosthetic leg.
One good thing did come out of the experience. Artemis' father became a changed man, the man Angeline had first married before their wealth became more important than family. To say Artemis was confused would be an understatement. He wasn't ready yet to give up a life of crime, even though it would be harder with both of his parents in the house watching him like a hawk.
Two years after the Arctic Incident, his life was disrupted by the arrival of Hera. She'd come in front of both Artemis and Butler, perhaps because she knew that the two were inseparable. She told them both who Artemis really was, the reincarnation of Loki after Ragnarok happened. Of course, both had been skeptical, but the Irish youth had recalled seeing odd things over the past year. He was willing to hear the goddess out, and Hera said that he would need to go to Camp Half-Blood if he wanted the answers to his past life.
It turned out that Hera had "spoken" to his parents, for the next day they had suggested to their son about going to America for study abroad. They thought it would be a wonderful experience, especially since Artemis had been cordially invited to attend a "school" there. Well, he couldn't say no to such an invitation, and he did have to admit that he was curious. After all, if he was Loki, then why would the Queen of the Heavens want the one who caused Ragnarok in the first place to help their cause?

[The Irish youth addressing camp has a look of complete calm, like mythologies being real is just an everyday thing in his life. Not to mention he's taking the relocation quite well.]
Fascinating means of sending a message. I must admit that I was skeptical this would work, but I'm pleasantly surprised it turns out to be true.
[There's a vague hint of a smile.]
However, I'm sure that you've all heard that before, so I shan't bore you with it any longer. My name is Artemis Fowl, and I am apparently saddled with the unfortunate fate of being the reincarnation of the Norse god Loki. Currently, I am able to take the shape of any animal I so choose, though I have yet to see if that's limited to the non-mythical.
[He arches an eyebrow.]
Odin--and I do know you're here, I was informed by Chiron--I was, indeed, sent here by Hera, though I wouldn't blame you if you doubted it.
[Well, Artemis technically could, but he won't. That's petty and childish.]
