EXCEPT IT'S NOT because I lost steam before I could really go "I am awesome" or anything. But I wanted to share why I love Al. :( SO THERE.
Al is my first character, and he'll be the very last to go. I really cannot remember why I apped him at all -- I wanted Ed but we HAD an Ed then and. I didn't really care about Al at the time! (lol this is common for a lot of my early characters) But that doesn't matter because I love him now. Al's a grounding, rational force in the face of a lot of the frantic action his brother and the people around him tend to get into. Except when he isn't. But even when he isn't he's still doing better than 90% of the people around him. This is a guy who watches the top of someone's head get taken clean off and a) doesn't flip the fuck out because oh my god that guy just got murdered and b) manages to have a conversation with the guy who did it. Al deals well with things. ish.
I love Al's . . . I don't know if I can call it a physical state of being when it involves the split between his soul and body and. Wherever the hell his mind is actually located. And I love the developments surrounding it. sobbb the spoilerssss \o/ I'm so glad this aspect is getting touched on now and can't wait to see if it's going anywhere close to the direction I think it is and am so excited for how it'll effect things. WHATEVER HAPPENS he is in for a lot of action very soon and it will be very awesome and Very Al. That -- not calm, exactly. It's not! He gets scared and worried and frantic; he just does it in a way that allows him to still focus and function and Get Shit Done. The one time he does lose it, he recovers relatively quickly and goes about trying to solve the problem (which happens to involve walking into the very core of the heart of enemy territory, BUT THAT WAS WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO SO HE DID IT) \o/ It's his level headed way of taking things in stride, even when they're really scaring the daylights out of him. And I will love it and play him everywhere and make Ed update again.
And favorite personality aspect aside, I love his mother henning ways and his gentle nature and how he's still really a little kid inside who wants to PROTECT PEOPLE and wants his dad to LIKE HIM and how he LOVES CATS and all those little things that make him so goddamn adorable. \o/ HE IS A CAPABLE SOLDIER TYPE who loev fluffy family things and isn't actually very soldiery at all because all he wants is his brother and his body to be fixed and for no one he knows to die anymore. :( And a kitty would be nice too.
Honestly I felt a bit shaky on him before I wrote this, but now I feel like ten times better. LOEV AL
