[@Ryik] The Ra Yellow student is done! Hopefully it all looks good; excited to get my guys movin' soon :D [hider=Alaric Albrecht] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/236x/05/cc/39/05cc39780ba2682e14b42df4c6f52b4a.jpg[/img][/center][hr] [b]Name:[/b] Alaric Albrecht [b]Gender:[/b] ♂ [b]Dorm:[/b] Ra Yellow [b]Personality:[/b] Alaric comes off as, first and foremost, incredibly confident; almost to the point of arrogance, but not quite. He carries himself well, and always keeps a straight face even in the most stressful or absurd of circumstances. He's also quite the lady's man; his mother raised him well, after all. While generally a cordial young man, he goes the extra mile for the fairer sex. For some, this can be charming and endearing, though for others it can feel excessive or on rarer occasions, downright creepy. Thankfully he can understand boundaries where necessary...Even if he may push the point from time to time. As a Duelist, Alaric can come off as a bit of a braggart, especially with how nonchalant and effortless he makes his dueling seem, but that's simply the way he is. Beyond this, he's also a rather chivalrous man in combat, trying his best to allow his opposition the chance to show what they're capable of. Don't confuse this for him holding back, however; he never does in a duel, seeing something of that sort as a slight against his opposition, which he rarely deems appropriate. [b]History:[/b] Alaric is the heir to Albrecht Industries, a subsidiary to the ever-present Industrial Illusions, aiding them in card production abroad. As such, the young man has been exposed to Duel Monsters practically since birth, and even in his youth showed promising potential in the game. As he grew up, he participated in many tournaments small and large, garnering a reputation as a fearsome, yet fair, opponent (and no small amount of media following, though he tends to try and ignore that part). Most people in his shoes might have grown absorbed by the popularity, or arrogant from their success, but his father, one Ebert Albrecht, kept the young man in line, tempering his confidence and edging his expectations from the growing fame. If it weren't for his father's guiding hand, he could've become a much worse individual than he was today.... As of late, he was slated to become a student of Central Duel Academy; an exciting proposition, getting to grow as both an individual and duelist amongst some of the best and brightest of his generation. However, a tragedy struck that made him briefly forget all of this. Only a few weeks before it would be time to handle his examinations, his father grew seriously ill. At first, Alaric demanded that his time at Duel Academy be postponed, so that he could aid the company and his dear father in this time of need. However, it was the man himself who told him otherwise. He claimed that, like any illness, this would come to pass; needlessly worrying about his old man when he should be focusing on his bright future was, while kind, unnecessary. Begrudgingly, Alaric submitted to the wishes of his dad, choosing to go ahead with his journey to join the Duel Academy. ...He will admit though, the circumstance he left behind may have affected his performance in the exams. He felt like he didn't perform nearly as well on the written course as he ought to have, and he felt unfocused in his Test Duel; an unusual experience for him....Not to mention that his Deck, however potent it may be, is prone to cloggy hands at time. Unfortunately, that was one of those times. Thus, for the time being, he's been placed in Ra Yellow; though he does not intend to stay there for long. [b]Spirituality:[/b] Completely non-spiritual, though in spite of that, his companion is rather active.
