Alden Garrick Green
Alden (AHL-duhn) — "Wise protector."
Garrick (GAIR-ik) — "Spear-ruler."
Gender: Male, He/Him
Sexuality: Straight.
Age: Twenty-three years old.
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good.
Occupation: Knight. He guards the members of the royal family while they are in the kingdom, and escorts them when they travel.
Appearance: Alden has the hardened face of someone who's had to persevere, with sharp features all-around. A diamond-shaped face that's both parts strong and structured with a pinch of elegance, the face is overall long. A narrow, yet sharp jawline and prominent cheekbones. He has the eyes of a person who has something to prove - determined and just a tad bit uncertain. They are a light, muted green in color, like the grass of the countryside. In shape, they are slightly hooded, sometimes giving him a drowsy or constantly exasperated appearance. He's fair-skinned and burns easily in the sun; luckily he's always wearing his armor. Alden has pale, dusky-brown hair that is cut to his chin. Styled neatly, without much care.
His physique is important to maintain, as it helps him in his job. Broad-shoulders is something he's always had, but through intensive training, has developed muscle tone around the arms and legs. His upper body is built for strength, tapering off into a narrow waist for agility. He stands at a height of 6'1.
His attire is armor - clean, gleaming silver. Worn over padded garments and chain mail. Decorated in regalia with the royal family's house crest. He seemed to pointedly avoid putting his own family's crest on his armor.
Personality: A true working man. Quick, precise, and hardly complains. He hardly lets out a word unless you start the conversation. His one priority is the royal family; he serves them first and foremost, even putting them above himself.
He is very solemn on the surface. He almost seems to be impenetrable wall. However, if you're close to him in the right moment, you will see that silent yet intense eagerness to show his loyalty to the royal family. It manifests as a tiny spark - a flicker of light in his eyes.
Another thing you'll find when dealing with him, he's quick-witted. When you least expect it, he'll surprise you with a sardonic quip and an airy chuckle. You won't be able to tell if he's laughing at you or with you.
Overall, Alden is a man with a steadfast commitment, pledging all of his loyalty to people who most likely consider him a disposable body.
Voice: Clear and sharp, like a forceful gust of wind.
Strengths
Assidious: Careful, methodical, and persistent.
Rock-steady: Calm and reliable under pressure, to a certain degree.
Focused: When he sets his mind to a task, he won't allow himself to be distracted.
Principled: Acts in accordance with strong moral principles.
Weaknesses
Unreliable: This might be contradictory to his established traits. However, he is unreliable in the sense that he would throw anyone - no matter how close they are to him - under the bus if that meant getting a sliver of attention from the royal family.
Attention-seeking: He seems unbothered on the outside, like he doesn't pay attention to others' opinions. But he does. He needs validation from his peers and authority figures.
Overcompensating: An overachiever. He'll take on too much at a time to show his dedication.
Blunt: If you are not someone he respects, he will be brutally honest towards you.
