THE BASICS --{Name}-- Alexander Engel --{Alias}-- N/A --{Age}-- 17 --{Gender}-- Male --{Race/Nationality}-- Britannian --{Occupation/Rank}-- Student |
APPEARANCE & BEHAVIOR --{Physical Description}-- Dark black hair, resembling a raven’s feathers along with a white colored hair that could be described as the appearance of new-fallen snow are one of the most notable features when you look at him. This two toned hair makes him very different among people, to the point of being an outsider because of it in some circles. His hair is longer while ruffled and messy, but always clean and very soft to the touch. The two tones are nearly equal in amount, the white accenting the black excellently, making him look far older and more mature than he is. His face is still rather child-like, while his chin is longer than a regular child’s for the size of the head, it still comes to a rather acute point. His eyes are also a peculiar color, a deep green that lead to the black pupil that seems to go into an endless depth. His eyelashes also add a certain depth to his face, longer than most and also very thick, people mistake him for wearing mascara due to this natural fullness of his eyelashes. His eyebrows are slanted and arched as well as thin, making him appear very angry or perturbed at all times. His mouth is thin, his lips a full red that girls would be envious of considering they are so natural. Most of the time he will be seen wearing thin rectangular lensed rimless glasses, but will remove them whenever he is upset. As for the rest of his body, he is very thin, but it can be told that he is slightly toned. He has a very slight tan, only very slightly more darkened than what is standard for Britannians. He has slightly longer fingers than most, and his feet are also a little larger than most, giving him the expression of being much taller than he really is. His height is five foot, ten inches and he definitely looks it if not more because of his thinness. While he is thin, the tone of his muscle can be found when he does exert himself though, while this times are few and not very often, they show that he is not the thin person most people expect when they see him. He has broad shoulders, one thing that goes against his thinness as well as an overall strong build. As for clothing, he wears the standard school uniform although the collar is usually left open. When not at school and just in a casual setting, he will wear black formal pants, polished black shoes, a clean white formal shirt with gem stud buttons and cufflinks. He also wears a black vest with burgundy accents along with a burgundy tie. On occasion, he can also be seen to wear thin black gloves, but only on the rarest circumstances. --{Personality}-- He is calm and collected, and probably one of the quietest people also. This makes him rather disturbing as his quietness is something of a peculiarity and makes him very questionable. Oftentimes, people are not sure whether to suspect him of something or to leave him alone. This quietness is also what makes him such a good poker player, as it allows him to near perfectly mask his emotions. He is motivated by the fact that he was treated very poorly before he was moved to Japan and so having a privileged life in Japan has caused him to become quiet. It is what gives him his calculating and calm demeanor, for he no longer wants to be hurt by others so will observe and "study" them first. This causes him to be slow to make casual friendships, and even slower to make any true relationships. His goals are to become a high-ranking official for the military and become an important noble himself. Either that or become one of the scientists that work on the next advancements on Knightmare Frames or making them easier for use. Another goal is to become well involved with the royal family, having a noble mother he was considered a noble and was therefore higher up on the social ranking ladder. To achieve these goals, he will oftentimes do his best to communicate without the sadistic attitude that so often rises among people of all ages. He also studies as hard as he can while in class, in the attempt to get well-known for his intelligence. In order to get in closer with the royal family, he tries to make acquaintances with anybody that has a close relationship with the king and his family. |

While this intelligence has no practical purposes yet, simply being a student, he is very adept at strategical games, poker being his favorite. He is a master at poker, bluffing being one of his strong suits as he can lie relatively effortlessly and hide his emotions tactfully. He is also rather good at some varied martial arts, his speed and reflexes being a major strength in this field. Other than this, his best skill is his ability to cook. |
PERSONAL INFO --{Family}-- Jana Engel(mother) --{Friends}-- His mother --{Known Associates}-- People your character is familiar with or has met in passing. --{History}-- He was born in Britannia, but after their takeover of Japan, his mother had moved there, always enrolling him in the top schools. She was over a rather rich family and therefore could dote on him whenever she though was right. Before moving to Japan though, he had only ever known his mother and therefore was called a bastard by many of the children that would have been his friends. For this reason, he suspected his mother to have moved him to Japan to get him away from all of the hatred that his fatherless living got him. He was of course correct, his mother having moved to Japan for the reason that she had gotten a position in Japan as well as the fact that if she stayed in Britannia her son would continue to be harassed by the other children. Even in Japan it was not easy, but at least he could say that his father died or some other lie to keep them from knowing that he had no father to speak of. As he aged, he became interested in psychology, wanting to know how to view people so that he could learn about them before opening up to them. When giving his mother this explanation, she realized that he just wanted it to prevent hurting himself again like he had in Britannia. For this reason, she let him take these lessons, and he became very wise in this subject as well as becoming very intelligent in other aspects. Math, science, and his reading skills being highly advanced for his age. This combination has gotten him into higher social circles that is average for his age. Especially in the terms that he has made acquaintances with even some of his mothers friends because of his wisdom for his young age. Once he grew old enough, he joined Ashford Academy, becoming one of their best students. While everybody at Ashford was considered intelligent, the level of intelligence that he possesses is toward the top ten percent. He is therefore considered a top student in his class, but people know that there are other people more intelligent than him, as he himself knows. This is what makes him so different from some nobles, he knows he is not the smartest and does not fool himself with the fantasies that he is. Due to his silence, many people often try to get him to speak, but his self-imposed law of knowing people before talking to them has caused many to have no luck with this. While it is true that he does not speak often, he has opened up to some younger people that often visit his house and that are willing to open up to him first. --{RP Sample}-- Alexander looked about himself, trying to determine his surroundings. He had been dreaming and did not realize until he realized that it was the dormitory he was inside. He had dreamt himself inside a laboratory and was doing some work for the creation of a prototype Knightmare. As he awoke, he noticed it was early morning and so stepped into the shower. After having finished that and getting dressed in his school uniform, he walked out into the hallway. While walking out of the doorway though a girl attending the school, and a first year student from the looks of it, ran into him. As she apologized immediately, Alexander himself wordlessly bent down to help her pick up the books she dropped. His face was emotionless, one that seemed intent on completing a task at hand, but was without a task to complete. She looked at him, Alexander himself guessing from her facial expression that she pondered speaking more. However, as it turned out, she said nothing and simply went on her way running down the hallway and giving a "thanks" as she left. 'Perhaps someday I will discover the courage to go up and say things to people, but until that day I will need to work on what to say when they speak to me. Now, I need to head to class and perhaps attempt to make a friend there.' He looked up from the ground, straightening his uniform before heading down the hallway toward his classroom. 'Well, even if I can't say anything to somebody new, I can always work on saying things to the class as a whole.' He knew that saying such things to himself were useless, as while he disliked the spotlight he had grown accustomed to it. He had no problem addressing groups of people anymore, it was the individual that scared him. |
