So I'm making this guy at the moment, got a good hold of his personality but I'm wondering if its seem doable to fit the "Courageous" part in with it. Not too sure myself but I felt like I should try it. I was going to post it later, get an official opinion with the grading but I've decided to go ahead and get it out the way Also, this is just what I got at the moment. I might get him done by tonight, if not, Sunday at the latest. Let me know what you guys think? [hider=Alabaster "Al" Zabek][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/NlXAsmc.jpg?3[/img] [h3][b]Alabaster “Al” Zabek[/b][/h3] [i]July 19[/i] | [i]5'11”[/i][/center] [i][color=4682B4]Personality[/color][/i] [indent]A man whose looks is reflective of his inner self; a choice made without indecision one faithful day. He may seem a brooding young man in the beginning, one filled with angst and dislike for others, when in actuality he's simply contemplative, hard-pressed to speak, and all around introverted. Alabaster has always been alone and because of this, has learned to comfort himself and embrace the solitude. Which in turn has led him to pushing away those that attempt to help him. Not in the way most would expect but instead in subtle agreements and tentative decisions—a false kind of deliberation, of ignorance that most would rather not deal with. Alabaster is, despite his shortcomings, lionhearted. When the situation requires it and others are too lost in fear to act, he may be the first to do so. Most will not anticipate it from him, others will be dumbfounded. But it is indeed apart of his essence. However, he will shy away from the limelight if it shines on because of this. His sudden appearance and equally sudden disappearance will fascinate the crowd, having them wish for more. Despite his dislike of crowds or at times, even holding a simple conversation, Alabaster has become a profound listener and giver of sound advice. Inwardly, quick and confident, his opinion find its mark. A bolted arrow plugging into the mentality of the helped. An idealistic, foolhardy, introvert—most would laugh at such a combination but Alabaster pulls it off with an adorable finesse. Despite his self-induced seclusion, Alabaster is very fond of spirits. Now, when comparing and contrasting these staid traits to his friends, one might notice a few differences. When speaking to those that he care for, those that have earned his trust and steeled it through years of loyalty, Alabaster is quaintly expressive of his feelings. In a much more clear and easily grasped way. Though he has never felt so inclined to share with someone as he has with Samuel. The boy who first offered him a friendly hand. Due to being the face of his mother's modeling agency, Al is often confessed to, all to which he politely declined. This is due to his infatuation with one of his close friends. [/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Appearance[/color][/i][indent] A bright-skinned 21 yr old youth who carries all the cool and elegance of a pampered prince. His skin is smooth and clear, with only a small cut resting an inch from his left brow. Alabaster or Al as his friends call him, has dark—very dark—brown hair that flows into a shiny blonde at its edges. Al's thin eyebrows, decisive light blue eyes, straight nose that slightly widens at the nostrils, and his sculpted face; it goes without saying that he's nice to look at. His body is trained, etched, and athletic. Some compare him to a whip, others to a coiled spring but all considers him exemplary. The picture of dedication and resolve, the “perfect” body declared by some. Which oddly enough isn't as stacked or caked on as some would believe. His arms are ripped due to his training with his weapons “Misery and Peace”. On the left side of his torso, near his waist, is the remains of terrible burn. It stretches out like four, withering, claws towards his navel. Alabaster, the adopted-son of the Theresa Zabek (the CEO of a fast-growing model agency in Cetra), has a taste for the expensive. Though he dabbles in different trends, each reaching out across cultures and traditions, he is often seen wearing a combination of urban and formal attire. Though a few things remain constant or at the very least regular; his black, simplistic, jacket, which is usually hung over his shoulders and a silver pendent, tied through with steel wire.[/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Ringtone[/color][/i][indent] [list][*][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uw8mIcQJn8]Pieces[/url][/list][/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Background[/color][/i][indent] Oakridge Academy crowded the brooding youth the moment he stepped through the doors. The student body took to him like flies to sugar, bees to honey, children to toys. It was annoying at first, because by this time he was going through the “rich kid angry at the world” phase. He wanted nothing to do with others, but they all wanted to be friends with him. Al could not see at that point. He did not know the difference between those genuine few and the one's after his wealth. It took, Samuel to make it clear. The charismatic youth who everyone seemed to like—excluding himself at the time. He was young but it left a permanent mark on his heart. It changed him, urged him to develop a sense of insight on others. However, this positive, mixed with the negative of his absent mother has only made his life slightly more bearable. If not for Samuel and his group of friends, he would be exceptionally lonely. Funny enough, he had never experienced such loneliness as when Samuel disappeared. He hoped, prayed, and for reasons unknown still believes that Sam hasn't died. A fleeing ghost that lingers but refuses to be seen. Sometimes, Alabaster truly sees him—though wispy and formless—in his peripheral. The confidence of his voice tells him to get out, enjoy life. In his dreams … Alabaster shares his days with his missing friend. Alabaster's mother, the head of the Zabek Modeling agency, was incapable of having children. She searched for years for a child to satisfy her incessantly picky tastes. When she stumbled upon the blue eyed, brown hair cherub, she fell for him instantly. Because of this, she groomed and prepped him to be the face and eventual heir to her company. However, she was a very business-inclined woman, who saw no wrongs and nudging her children towards the caretakers. Being gone weeks and months at a time, left Alabaster feeling abandoned. Samuel solved that problem and eventually he found meaning in having friends thanks to the others. Attending Oakridge Academy gave him plenty to occupy himself with. And Samuel gave him tons of determination and resolve. He trained, studied, and though he proved a loner at times, became something of a force to be reckoned with.[/indent] [hider=Tropes][list][*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable]Adorkable[/url] [*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Badass]Badass[/url] [*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenBadass]Hidden Badass[/url] [*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatYouAreInTheDark]What You Are In The Dark[/url] [*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WonderChild]Wonder Child[/url] [*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicKnight]Magic Knight[/url] [*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ByronicHero]Byronic Hero[/url] [*][url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadDreams]Bad Dreams[/url] [/list][/hider] [i][color=4682B4]Memories[/color][/i][indent] [i]Samuel – [/i] [i]Olivia – [/i] [i]Rui - [/i] [i]Aaron – [/i] [i]Elvira -[/i] [i]Scout -[/i][/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Weapon[/color][/i][indent] [center][hider=Mordrembane][img]http://i.imgur.com/F271oLd.jpg?1[/img][/hider][/center] Mordrembane, named by Alabaster himself, is the serrated katana that he wields in battle. Besides its durable composition and enhanced slicing ability, not much can be said about it. Its about five feet long from hilt to point and slashes with precision when swung correctly. The add-on to this blade is a platinum chain that is used to whip it about. Its length allows it to stretch thirty feet from him in any direction and can be used for offense or defense.[/indent] [i][color=4682B4]Spirits[/color][/i][indent]List your created spirits here.
