[sub][b][color=ed1c24]Biography[/color][/b][/sub][hr][indent]Abandoned at birth, Emil grew up in the care of an orphanage within the Karanese district of Wall Rose. Apart from being an orphan Emil grew up a relatively normal life, taught to read and write at a young age by the caretakers of the orphanage as well as being fed regularly he enjoyed a warm bed and a rather lively life with the other boys and girls of the home as they passed their time outside of lessons. Once old enough to be allowed to leave the orphanage during the day on his own Emil began to fall in with the older crowd of kids that he lived every day with. They made games of chasing one another through the streets and between the crowds at markets, and as Emil got more comfortable with the city and the older boys he began to follow them on the less acceptable activities they enjoyed outside the orphanage.

Emil learned to pick pockets from the older boys, quickly falling into stealing purses and change from the pockets of market goers in order to buy snacks and sweets for himself and his friends. On top of the pick-pocketing the older boys also began to show Emil how it was that they managed to get away from people so easily if they were caught, by using the buildings to their advantage. After years of running on rooftops and climbing around Karanese Emil developed a keen sense of spacial awareness, able to judge distances and speeds required to make jumps from one roof to another as easily as second nature while remaining acutely aware of anything that he could use to his advantage in moving through the rooftop and alleyway environments that he spent a little too much time utilizing.

Following the attack on Wall Maria, Emil and his band of petty thieves took advantage of the chaos and influx of people into Karanese, making a small fortune of their deeds. However their luck didn't last, and for the first time in his life Emil was actually charged with a crime after being caught in the act. He was caught by the Stationary Guard and was given the choice of either serving time in a state run jail making big rocks into smaller rocks or join the military. He chose the military, figuring that a life breaking rocks was worse than running with the decidedly low possibility of being eaten alive in the Garrison.[/indent]
[sub][b][color=ed1c24]Personality[/color][/b][/sub][hr][indent]Emil meets many of the core facets to be considered, psychologically, an introvert. Preferring solidarity over company and the peace of his mind over the musings of others. This is not to say that he doesn't like people, he is actually a very amiable person. Easy to talk to and can be considered a friend by most who know him, he would just prefer after a long day of interacting with others that he is left to himself. He actively attempts to avoid confrontations, and is never the one that will be stepping in to break them up, in fact he is more likely to be the one to simply melt into the background and disappear. His attitude and personality in this regard have been noted as possible factors that may cause problems in his future military career in regards to possible cowardice and in the worst case, desertion.[/indent]
