Your Name/Alias: Cassie/perfectdays
Age: 18
Character: Albert de Morcerf (Herrera)
Series: Gankutsuou
Character Age: 16
Canon: Gankutsuou is set in the year 5053, in France, and follows the story of one man hell-bent on revenge, sweeping up innocent pawns into his little mind games. One such pawn is young Albert de Morcerf, the naive and somewhat impressionable protagonist of the series. And by "naive" we really mean "trusts all the people that he shouldn't, even after their ill-will towards him is revealed". Even when everything he's ever known comes crashing down around his knees, he still remains faithful to the people and ideas that he believes in.
However, along with Albert's innocence comes a dangerous sort of stubbornness to blindly follow what he believes to be right. This, combined with his tendency to get easily agitated and emotional when questioned, leads Albert into many a sticky situation. But regardless of how frustrating he can be, his love for those close to him remains unconditional, forgiving, and sweet enough to give you a cavity.
Sample Post:
I know they say that you shouldn't accept lifts from strangers, but the gentleman seemed so polite that I thought it would've been rude to turn him down. How was I supposed to know that he wasn't really going to drive me to Marseille? It wasn't as if he was a suspicious looking man offering sweets or anything-- I know better than that! And besides, the white van looked very respectable.
Anyway, nobody got hurt, which is the important thing! I'm sure this is just a very big misunderstanding. After all, the gentleman was even thoughtful enough to provide reading material on the way here. There was one book entitled How To Do A Barrel Roll And Much More, which looked to be both interesting and educational, though I didn't get the time to read it. I was even given a parting gift-- it's a kind of small looking package, but I suppose it's not the size that counts! All that kindness is a lot of effort to go to for a petty trick or a kidnapping, so leaving me out here must be a mistake. I can't think of any other reason why he would be so considerate.
But since I'll probably be waiting here for a while for him to realise his mistake and return, I've been taking the opportunity to learn a little more about the world outside. This place is pretty interesting all by itself! I'm not in France anymore, that much is certain. For one thing, the people here have some unusual customs, stranger than any I've ever read about! And that includes that ancient custom I heard about where people used to greet each other over the telephone by saying "seven days"!
For example, I just tried introducing myself to some of those people ambling by earlier, and I think it went quite well. I thought I heard them saying something in English, so I held out my hand to shake theirs, since I was sure that's how they greet others in England, but he bit my hand instead! I mean, I know that cultures are different around the world, and I'm open to that, though I'm mostly used to a kiss on the cheek. But you know how the saying goes: "when in Rome", right? The only polite thing to do was to return the gesture.
I guess the rotten smell should've been a warning.
... Needless to say, I think that's the last time I'll be biting anyone else's hand.
