'Cause all the roads they lead to where you are And all the streetlights shine like they were stars That's where you are
†»Eye Color | Light Blue †»Hair Color | Ebony Black †»Skin Color | Fair †»Height | 5 feet 3 inches †»Overall | Aloysius stands at 5'3", a slightly smaller than average height for a sixteen-year-old male of the time, and weights about 125 pounds. He is lacking in a defined "waist", but his midsection and chest are well-muscled from years of training for physical combat, mainly with hand-to-hand martial arts but some with weapons, like hand pistols and swords. He holds a strong stance and demeanor, which may ward some people off. Currently, he wears an ivory-colored overcoat that falls to his mid-thigh. He generally wears it unbuttoned to reveal the black short-sleeved shirt below it, and the black pants and boots below that. He wears a brown leather belt around his hips, and white gloves on his hands more often than not. Also, he wears a headband the same color as his overcoat to keep his longer-than-average hair out of his face.

†»Alchemy | Has not yet attempted to use Alchemy in this world, although he's studied what his world knows, which is the laws that govern it, how alchemy itself works, and how transmutation circles are set up to work. He has a good idea of how to accomplish it. All he feels he needs to do is practice.
†»Personality | Aloysius is a young man of few words for the most part. Normally, he prefers to keep to himself and let others pass him by. However, if anybody approaches him to strike up conversation, or he knows somebody, he will gladly talk with them for however long. He is not antisocial by any means. Truly, he is almost a bit shy, bu that trait rarely comes through. He is, for the most part, on the gentle side. However, when angered, he can have quite a temper and be almost violent in his actions. His years of training in physical combat have made him a gallant fighter. He doesnt give up, and his reflexes are quick as well. He knows about the human body's pressure points, and will use those to his advantage.
His "fighting spirit" is most prominent when somebody important to him is in danger. Though he is nowhere near the most compassionate person in the world, if somebody grows close to him, he will defend them however he can as though they were his sister...and he would give anything for her. He dislikes it when people look down on him or underestimate him, and if they do so, he'll be more than eager to prove them wrong.
On that note, he is a bit cocky. In Thule, the training sessions often alternated between general physical training and sparring with peers. Despite his younger age and smaller stature compared to the other Thule "soldiers" being trained, he often could spar for longer than them before starting to tire. Due to this, after only a few months of training, he began to come out on top of other young men sparring. He is rightfully confident in his fighting ability, but even after "judging" an opponent, he will readily take them on, even if he's not sure he can win

Look out across the water Faces of lonely daughters and mothers who care But just can't be there Swear that I will see you someday I have to find a way To show you I care Even if you're not there
†»History |
• Azriel and Freya had fraternal twins on February 12th. A daughter they named Serafina & a son they named Aloysius. The Abhays lived a considerably average life in rural Germany until their house was caught in a crossfire-bombing from zeppelins when. They were forced to move from the countryside into Berlin when the children were seven years old.
• Having recently gotten a well-paying but incredibly stressful job, Azriel took up a habit of drinking after the weekends he worked. Over a month or so it became every weekend, Wednesday, and Thursday. Another month and it was Every other night. Before long he was drinking every night, and coming home worse and worse. His job was with a certain group of people who were members of the Thule Society. Though the primary base of operations were in Munich. He acted as mechanics director architect for anything they needed built for their purposes. The period he worked with them was during a large renovation phase.
• One night, a year and a half after moving to Berlin, Azriel came home incredibly drunk and in a rage about work. In her efforts to try and calm him, Freya prepared a dinner. However, she hadnt prepared something Azriel wanted. It was a time of war and unease, and firearms were becoming more common in certain households. Azriel happened to have carried his on his person that day. Serafina and Aloysius came down to dinner after their mother called, but began running when they heard the sound of a gunshot. The sight that met their eyes was their mother on the floor, blood coming from her chest. She didnt move, and trying to make sense of what happened, Aloysius and Serafina looked to Azriel in time to see him put the gun to his head and pull the trigger.
• After a month of transferring from orphanage to orphanage, Serafina and Aloysius were taken to an orphanage in Munich. There they were adopted by a man named John. He gave them the fanciful idea of working with him at his job at the house of his "boss". They liked the idea. From a younger age, they'd been willing to learn and keep forming new ideas about what they'd learned. The possibility of working in a place where many intelligent individuals were working towards a common goal was exciting, but the idea of being around books and being able to read was enthralling. They were fairly lucky enough to receive as much of an education as possible. One thing they knew how to do well was read, and they loved it. They also loved learning.
• Aloysius and Sera quickly accepted the offer. Though they wouldnt be paid, they would have a place to stay and meals to eat. They would also be able to spend time with their adoptive father. Three and a half years passed, and the twins grew the same way. They read the same books, studied the same things and knew all about each other. They loved the ideas of the Sera was more fascinated with theorizing, and abstract idealism than Aloysius. He was more interested on the factual evidence that science could provide, and learning as much as he could based on that. He promised himself that he would one day build new technologies needed to learn more.
• One day, Aloysius was studying in the library when he was urgently informed that Serafina had been involved in a rather terrible accident. Immediately, he went to where a commotion was rising, in the main hall, but nobody would let him near his sister, despite the protests. She was taken to the hospital, where he followed her. She had lost her arm in the accident, and she took it very badly. Aloysius remained seated by her side for many days and nights, talking to her and comforting her as she recovered. He convinced her that even without her arm, she was still beautiful. That noticably changed her attitude. She seemed more lively after that point, and was planning on returning to Thule as soon as she could.
• That was, until their Aunt and Uncle came to the hospital. Aloysius and Sera had met them years ago, and hadnt seen them since. They explained that it took them a long time to sort legal issues out, which is why they didn’t immediately adopt them and take them in. Sera liked the idea of having a family and a place she could call home. Aloysius, however, for the first time he could remember, didn’t share the same ideas as his sister. He wanted to continue learning...continue researching, and continue so much more with the resources Thule had as opposed to their aunt and uncle. After much consideration, and talking with Sera, he decided that he would stay, and let her start the new chapter in life. He could see how much that hurt her, him choosing knowledge over her, and it made his stomach feel like a vat of acid once the guilt set in. It saddened him greatly, but he promised her he would find her again, after his years of research, with not only his name in history for discovering new things, but also technology that would allow her to make use of a greater prosthetic arm than a piece of plastic strapped by leather to her shoulder. She still seemed unsure, but she finally agreed. They bade their goodbyes and hugged...with the promise that they would find each other again.
• Sera left with their aunt and uncle the next day, leaving Aloysius to go back to Thule. He remained there for years, where he soon was pulled from spending all of his time with books, to spending half with books and half intensely being trained in martial arts. The Thule society had developed a plan that was highly classified, but they wanted their younger and more “able-bodied” members trained in physical combat for this plan. His new “role” in Thule was to become an ideal “soldier” of theirs. He would wake up each morning and study in the library whatever topic he chose. By noon, he ate and trained in martial arts for four hours, until he ate again, and studied the English language until nine. By that time, he went to bed. He followed this schedule for years, until one day he, with nineteen others, were called for an important mission.
• Before questions could be asked, he and the other men were suited up in heavy armor and brought to a room they’d never seen, a circle on the ground. They were arranged on the circle, and soon something strange began to happen. It felt as though he were being pulled into the ground. In fact, he was. Almost unbearable pressure felt like it was crushing his body. When he thought it would kill him, it lessened, and he saw some light. He pulled his way towards it and through what appeared to be the ground again. After managing to walk away three steps from where he had just been, exhaustion, pain, and heat overtook him, and he collapsed where he stood.
• Aloysius later awoke in a hospital bed with bandages covering his torso and arms. He could hardly move because of pain. He was tended to by a kind lady who called the town “Liore”. Nowhere had he ever heard that term, and she spoke English, so he assumed he should, too. Over the next few weeks of his recovery, he learned that he was in a country called “Amestris”. He had never heard of that before, and could hardly believe what they called the bordering countries. “Xing”, “Drachma”, “Creta”, “Aerugo”. All of this was completely foreign to him. One day, while looking out a window, he saw a man perform a task. In all his years of reading about it and studying, he had never learned that it actually worked in Germany. The man performed Alchemy. It was then that it hit him. He was no longer in his own world, but in some completely strange land.
• In the two months he spent recovering fully, he asked if he could be brought some reading material on Amestris and its history so he could learn a bit about this place. He studied hard for those months, working on improving his English all the while. Finally, one day, he departed with great thanks to the people of Liore that he had gotten to know a bit. He headed South, wandering in confusion and learning new things, doing some odd jobs from time to time to make enough money to stay somewhere for a night. After a bit of a journey, he is currently in Dublith.
