Racial Magic


Sonildaz's Will


Using Sonildaz's Will, Albert can produce sound or music which amplifies the magic of others upon being heard or extend this effect into sounds already present.
Kanilwyr's Binding

Kanilwyr's Binding allows Albert to bind all facts, knowledge and memories to his mind endlessly, remembering everything perfectly. He can also bind memories or knowledge to other people's minds but is still practicing this technique.


At first, Albert works as Tia Minx's tutor in magic concepts and history before recruitment and continues these lessons as they travel. Eventually, he and Ifani become Tia's closest friends. This is a bit complicated in the beginning, Tia and Ifani having a rough start and Albert naturally mediating. Ifani Brandt is Albert's best friend and she is very protective of him. They tend to be polar opposites in personality but they respect the other's skills. Ifani does become frustrated with Albert's lack of confidence despite his various talents. Meanwhile, Albert often worries about how she is coping with the changes they all face when joining the Accian Military Training Program.

While a terrible warrior, Albert became a certified scholar at a record age thanks to his magic and comprehensive skills. He is also an adept musician and strategist. Despite this, Albert is insecure and lacks the confidence to perform his original music publicly. He keeps a close eye on Ifani, worried about her ability to adapt, both of them protective of each other in their own ways. He hopes to see her branch out socially, to form more relationships than just her friendship with him. Albert can be extremely cynical underneath his agreeable facade and it takes time for him to trust people. While usually nervous and insecure about himself, he is astonishingly firm when it comes to defending his friends. He is completely intolerant of bullying and excessively wary of manipulation.

Albert is a devoted academic, utilizing his inner library of knowledge to its full extent and seeking out truth. He enjoys comparing, consolidating and theorizing using the knowledge he collects. During their training, he tries to sharpen not just the knowledge he possesses but his comprehensive abilities and strategic skills. He's also a huge admirer of a certain musician, who performs under alias and disguise, and is secretly infatuated with him. Albert has worked out his identity but lacks the confidence to approach him believing he stands no chance. Ifani is aware of this infatuation and tries to encourage him but lacks the interpersonal skills to advise him. It is a relief to her when Tia intervenes.

Albert has some skill with material magic, continuing to study within AMTP. He is naturally kind, gentle and hopes to add some good to the world despite the terrible histories he has learned of. It is partially this kindness that makes him a terrible warrior, extending out to even those he isn't familiar with. He is quick to defend anyone different or who is treated as an outsider. At the same time, Albert is distrustful and cynical of nobility as he has been harassed and toyed with by many noble children growing up in the capital with no station.



Physical Appearance





Scrawny and gangly. Albert is a little underweight, spending far too much time cooped up in libraries. He isn't completely out of shape though as Ifani drags him into daily training but he also forgets to eat at times when sucked into research. He has bluegreen eyes and a frock of dirty blonde curls. His keen perception and intelligence can be seen in his eyes. In his magic form Albert gains teal markings on his hands, around his mouth throat as well as ivory stripes along his scalp, framing his face.

Background


Despite being a commoner, Albert actually grew up in the capital city of Accia. His mother, who is a well regarded scholar, earned the prestigious position of librarian of the royal library. Because of this, Albert was rubbing shoulders with nobles and royalty all of his life. Unfortunately, he was never considered their equal. This is part of why he is timid and reserved by nature—he was expected to remain demure and submissive to his peers. There were many noble children who toyed with him, knowing there would be little to no consequences. This left Albert distrustful and he developped a severe distaste for bullying.



Personality



Albert can be sheepish, insecure and reserved but these mostly developed due to his position amid the nobility. He is naturally kind, hopeful and has a endlessly big heart. Simultaneously, he is cynical, mistrustful, shrewd, firm and unrelenting. It depends on circumstance and company. Despite his keen mind and many talents, he lacks confidence. It is only in the defense of his friends or any outsiders that his stalwart, uncompromising and cut throat side emerges.

Motivation



Despite his reservations, Albert strives towards a brighter future. He is hopeful Accia is redeemable, clinging to the better qualities he sees in rejects and outcasts. He tenuously believes Aldric is capable of being a better king than his father, if he can learn to be his own man. He wants to help push towards this future, Tia further fanning these hopes. These dreams are uncertain and brittle but he clings to them nonetheless, doing all he can so he and his friends can stride forward.




Trauma



Albert was bullied constantly growing up and witnessed much maltreatment of anyone considered other, especially growing up as a commoner in the capital. He has a severe distaste for bullying, maltreatment of outsiders or oddballs and general haughtiness. However, he also automatically defers to the power system he grew up under the thumb of. This has unfortunately made him very mistrustful and reactive to manipulation, toxic behavior or general deception.

Education and Career



Albert is a fully certified scholar and he is the youngest to pass their qualification exam. He often works in the royal library with his mother, the head librarian, as well as occasionally being contracted as a tutor. Those in the academic community look forward to his career if he can survive service. He has a skill for consolidating data. Albert likes to be prepared for any situation, almost always carrying his satchel with him, overstuffed with various tools, materials and even instruments. Even in battle he totes his bag around, especially as he is capable of material magic.



Friends and Allies





Ifani Brandt is his childhood friend but he was once friends with Prince Aldric Syltharis. It isn't clear what happened but Albert keeps his bitterness well concealed. Tia becomes an unexpected and at times astonishing friend for he and Ifani, becoming quite the trio. Albert and Inge Erling get along naturally and he enjoys experiencing all Bolorbataar's and Zhou Longwei's culture have to offer. He never once let's his guard down with Orin Philippe, sometimes causing strain within their unit, unit Unit Z909-Storm Unit.

Tia's Unit. Once rejects, they've worked hard to prove themselves.



Sexuality



Albert is gay but is rather private about it, given his environment growing up. He has a massive crush on Sirius Cato but isn't confident enough to approach him on his own. Albert admires his musical career at a distance until Tia works to bring them together, giving them the smallest push towards each other. The two quickly take to a secret but passionate romance, strained at times by Albert's anxieties and mistrust, Sirius' ardent secrecy and the difference in their stations.

Hobbies






Beyond his magic and his background, Albert has a genuine enjoyment of and fascination with knowledge. He enjoys rooting out the truth behind hidden histories as well as learning about the most obscure of places. He can get lost in his explanations and forget not everyone can understand more vague subjects. His dream is finding Zalikar's secret library mentioned in an old journal within the royal library. He also has a good ear for music but doesn't believe he has the skill to compose his own music.
