Arthur Dent (four_tea_two)

(From The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy tv show; property of Douglas Adams' estate. Spoilers for the first few episodes abound.)

A perfectly ordinary Earthman who no more knows his destiny than a tea-leaf knows the history of the East India Company. Arthur Dent found himself semi-voluntarily abducted by aliens at about the same point that his planet was blown up, and his life hasn't gotten much less bizarre since then. He was grabbed by Shatter shortly after arriving at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and found the situation terribly confusing indeed.
