He tries to keep a proud, straight posture in front of everyone, wether it is visitors or circus colleagues, but when he rest alone, he lie sprawled over anything that looks comfortable enough. Whenever and whatever he drinks, he always empties his glass in one go. [color=BF00FF]Hobbies:[/color] Embroidery, which he picked up when learning to fix clothes. Gardening, but he doesn't get much opportunities for it since he joined the circus. [color=BF00FF][b]►[/b] [b]Fears[/b][/color] To lose people he got close to, to see his persona unmade, blood. [color=BF00FF][b]►[/b] [b]Skills[/b][/color] Grappling, feats of physical strength, acting, sewing.

[color=BF00FF][b]►[/b] [b]Dislikes[/b][/color] Wine, meat (which he has to eat to maintain his muscle mass), the silence of night, those who take advantage of others' trust.

As with all circus strongmen, there are all sorts of stories on whatever tricks he might be using to fake his strength. Only a portion of them includes enlightened abilities. A few believe him to be a criminal on the run, hiding behind the circus. Usually those rumors don't just concern him but are instead aimed at most of the circus staff. [color=D8BFD8][b]►[/b] [b]Secrets[/b][/color] He never had any sexual relationship. However, because many associate manliness with sex drive, he lets people believe he is sexually active to maintain his image. This often leads to awkward social interactions. He never talked about his family to his colleagues, but he still sends letters home occasionally.

The effect last as long as he wants but it requires concentration to maintains so it will always deactivates if he loses consciousness. He needs physical contact to apply his power but it remains even if he is separated from the item and it can be stopped from anywhere. Aplhonse is very strong. This has nothing to do with his Mass alteration, rather it's a result of thorough training. However, it is very important for how he uses his ability.

He was a big brother who liked to look after his siblings. He was kind and caring. He had a simple and merry childhood. Then, at thirteen, his normalcy went away. It started with heavy things getting lighter in his hands. Then tools he'd use would change sizes. His parents understood what was happening before Alfons and urged him to hide it. They were afraid of what could happen to him. Even if he were to avoid ostracization, there was the risk he would be conscripted. And they knew he was too kind for such a world of violence. Germany had been at peace for a long time, but the country was ready to throw itself in a war if it seemed profitable enough. That was simply the way of those things. So, he kept living in this little village while hiding his nature. But no secret last forever. Rumors accumulated over the years. The neighbors could tell they were hiding something and the mystery only grew the tension. He was 22 when he left for the city. He just couldn't take this life anymore. However, he didn't have an easy time elsewhere either. He kept hiding what he could do and had trouble building relationships. He moved to other jobs. He moved to other cities. Eventually he moved to another country. It was then he found the circus. Or rather, the circus found him. To this day, he doesn't know how Mr. Maleficar found out he was enlightened. But when he was offered not only a job, but an opportunity to be accepted for who he was, he couldn't help but accept. And so, he became Alphonse the Strongman.
