What Makes Him A Personification?
- His first name Arvi is a male Finnish given name, referencing Nokia's origins.[1]
- His last name Laine means wave in Finnish and Estonian, which alludes to signal waves; the Nokia Actionman ran on NMT 450 (1G) network.
- His mainly black, grey and green color scheme are derived from the Nokia Actionman's hardware and monochrome display.[2] The blue accents are from the phone's manual. [3]
- His 80s action hero and racer inspired attire are inspired by the Action in Actionman. Arvi himself is also interested in street racing and action movies.
- His jacket and belt has a lot of buttons, an obvious reference to old phone buttons. Additionally, phone cords and belts are present in his design.
