[ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]
Name: Albel Nox
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Canon: Star Ocean: Til The End of Time
Timeline: Post-game
Background
Personality:
From the start, it's easy to tell that Albel's a little unhinged.
Maybe it's the wild, unkempt hair, predatory walk, sharp grin, or malicious red eyes. Even the way he speaks is rough and often insulting in nature, applying a number of derogatory favorites as his way of addressing people. He's ill-favored even by his own subordinates, often expressing his disdain and making his opinion on their incompetence quite plain. It's a wonder he ever made Captain, inspiring loyalty only through fear. Needless to say he has few friends, instead prefering to carve out his own bloodstained legacy in battle.
Nicknamed 'Albel the Wicked', he's a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. He thrills in blood and victory and adopts a harsh policy toward warfare that doesn't include taking prisoners or negotiating hostage situations, preferring to remove such liabilities permanently instead. He doesn't have the patience or inclination for interogations either, although death is hardly a mercy in most cases.
Albel holds no tolerance for weakness or incapability, despising those that lend themselves as such as worthless and beneath his notice. He lauds himself above them to the point of conceit, appearing confident of his skills to the point of arrogance. He respects only the strong and cares only for his own ambition: an endless pursuit of strength.
Indeed, his shallow emotional capacity and apparent lack of empathy lend him a psychopathic appearance, and while it's not too far off, we find that much of this frigid exterior is a well-designed front for his own fears and insecurities.
The hatred and bitter words he shoves onto others is a hatred for everything he was at 15. Weak, incompetent, suffering the horror of his father's sacrifice to save him during his Ascension of the Flame ceremony wherein he was meant to join the ranks of the Dragon Brigade, his father the proud Captain.
Having lost his left arm in the incident and therefore the ability to fight as well however, it was a hard blow to his pride and preconceived notions of greatness. He hated it, loathed his own wretched existence and fought against it, adopting a metal gauntlet for the arm he'd lost to allow him to continue to fight, growing and modifying it until he turned that weakness into a pointed strength and enlisted in Airyglyph's military as a member of the Black Brigade.
Embroiled in a harsh war against the neighboring country and suffering through Airyglyph's bitter cold climate in pain and hunger, Albel grew into a jaded, unforgiving soul and swiftly established himself as a fierce, deadly warrior in the Glyphian ranks, and rose to the rank of Captain. But he often rebels against cooperation and takes matters into his own hands, keeping others at arm's length as he continues to pursue greater heights, which can make him particularly difficult to work with.
Past all that however, he does care.. a little. He mostly just has a really crappy way of showing it.
List the weaknesses your character will gain (or lose) in Soul Campaign:
Possessed of a sense of bloodthirst, Albel will gradually grow more restive and aggressive under the effects of madness until all he cares about is the fight, the blood spilled, and begin to lose the ability to distinguish friend from foe, and not particularly care about either.
[ WEAPON ]
Soul Description:
-Arrogant
-Menacing
-Fearless
-Aggressive
-Impatient
-Shrewd
Appearance:
Albel's soul is a darkly colored, murky brown. Narrowed red eyes stare out with a cutting gaze, and the rattails of his hair make up the distinctive trails of his soul.
(Weapon Form) / Ability:
Rather than going easy-mode katana weapon form, I've decided to embody Albel's personality into a Weapon I think reflects him well. A crimson dragon scythe. The air of death and violence in a blood-stained weapon.
Weapon Ability: Bloodletting
With this ability, Albel infects cuts made by his blades with a powerful type of blood thinner, preventing blood clots and heavily increasing the blood loss experienced by his victim, quickening exhaustion and weakness. At its highest potential, this ability prevents the condensed effects of Black Blood while at the same time spilling more of it and increasing risk.
Drawbacks: Blood attracts kishin eggs and spilled black blood may infect Meister or Weapon through injuries.
