Clothing/Appearance: Albert has dark green eyes and dark red hair. I don’t think it’s styled much-it’s kind of spiky and uneven and I don’t think he cares so long as it stays manageable and doesn’t get in his eyes. Silver earrings, tiny loops; he takes those out in his sleep. He’s pretty tall (186 cm/6-foot-1), broad-shouldered, fairly well-built for someone who doesn’t participate in active combat. Kind of angular features, not conventionally handsome, but. Attractive if you like the strong silent type, I guess? Heavy eyebrows, so he always appears to be serious/angry.
He looks bigger and less lanky than he actually is because seriously, the coat he wears is as good as armor that way-it’s loose and heavy and stops just above his ankles; is thankfully cut high up the sides to his waist so he can move without problems. Grey on white, barred, pockets, huge foldover collar than can be buttoned quite low. He wears and tucks a dark scarf (can’t tell if grey or black) into that collar. Black slacks, belted, and either low boots or … they look like brown loafers. Huh. He has black gloves on all the time when he’s out in public. Under the coat he wears either turtlenecks or loose collared button-down shirts. Always long sleeves.
Yeah, he wears that whole ensemble in the middle of a hot and humid Grassland summer. What the hell, Albert. If for some reason his stuff gets ruined he will find a substitute. Albert likes staying covered up, am sticking with a general sensitivity to climate as the reason. The absolute least you will see him wear is a long-sleeved, high-collared shirt and pants, if it's very mild out.
Underneath it all he’s really pale-you can’t tell so much if just his face is exposed but if you take off the rest he’s downright ghostly.
Habits/Mannerisms/Body Language: Albert is a very deadpan sort of guy. Enemies will get absolutely no reaction from him that is not calculated and/or cutting; allies he will make expressions around, but they’re usually very subtle. Speaks sort of detachedly; uses manners if he feels you’re worth it. Uses speech contractions more around people he’s familiar and on friendly terms with; looks people in the eye usually and ignores them in favor of something else if they’re beneath him. He’s quiet. Always perfect posture.
Albert is very good at not touching other people. He will tolerate them touching him, but within certain limits. Any more and he will simply restrain you, or move away. He’s very-still is the wrong word, Albert moves, but it’s. Again, calculated. He isn’t stiff, but he is capable and content to stay right where he is.
Current Residence: Love hotel, floor unspecified; the room is quite spacious but doesn’t have a theme anymore because Albert manually removed everything that wasn’t needed-it’s kind of Spartan in there, probably just a bed, a desk, couple of chairs and cabinets, some pictures and a rug that he left alone because they weren’t horrible or porny. He keeps personal effects secured and often leaves a window cranked open slightly, because the cat that adopted him is half-wild.
Typical Daily Routine: Wakes up fairly early under normal circumstances, tends to have certain hours where he attends the Mess Hall and eats-times when it’s not the main food rush yet and there aren’t too many people around. Then he wanders wherever, checks out new people, makes sure to know the who/what/where/when/why of the Suikoden folks and others he deems important enough to go to the trouble for. If he’s not feelin’ the insomnia and nothing happens to affect it, he’ll read for half an hour and then turn in, oh, maybe 10:30 or so. He tries to keep certain things regular now that he can afford to.
Favorite Haunts: His room, or the library, but otherwise he’s pretty much everywhere observing whatever stuff is going on. He varies his patterns, too, mostly to keep a measure of unpredictability. Sometimes he wanders by the stone tablet behind Boys’ 11 and just looks at it for a few minutes before moving on.
Making the Bed? Yes. Albert is one neat bastard.
