Alar Glouschester

 “Oh Maurice, my illustrious ancestor, what terrible gift have you gave us by elevating us so high?” -Alar Glouschester

 History

Alar Glouschester was born inside the Glouschester Domain, on Felix Prime, in 2761.

The Glouschester family have a long tradition of marital careers and prowess. The family’s men were all officers since 1845, gradually taking fame and power, enough for the great great grandfather of Alar, Maurice Glouschester to become Grand Admiral of the Royal Navy. Maurice career was filled with accomplishments and honors, propelling the Glouschester into the highest level of society, marring into the Wilhemburrow dynasty. His army, the 75th Battalion, became legendary and all member of the family must tattoo himself a “75” on the cheek, just like all the soldier of the army.

As the years went by, the Glouschester’s fame decreased, while keeping their influence, as no son ever became Grand Admiral again. Turning away from war, the men became more politicians and courtesan than officer, while keeping the facade of the greatest military family.

Born in such a context, Alar, first and only child, was destined to become an officer of the Navy. Never attending school, all of his scholarship was assured by private tutor. Being always alone, Alar took his study with a certain level of interest but was solitary and often bored. His only distractions were the public events his parent attended to.

During a ball in 2774, he met a young energetic girl; Ayslinn Katsburrow. The Katsburrow being noble enough for him to talk, he was allowed to meet her and have a discussion. In a few minutes, he was subjugated by her beauty, but mostly her brilliance and daring personality, as she was openly contesting royal decisions and suggesting idea of her own. By the end of the night, he was in love with her.

Still under the charm of Ayslinn, Alar spent the following month gathering information on her, trying to reach her. He made contact with Melina Duchateau, a close friend to Ayslinn. They befriended, and Melina allowed him to meet her again on multiple occasion. They became close friend too.

In 2778, Alar entered the Royal Military Academy, the school for officer. Reading about military history and great battle all his life, he was disappointed to find that school to be nothing more than a bunch of noble teens being told how great they were and basic commanding skill. The school crushed his dreams of greatness, and he became cynic to the Kingdom military apparatus, the pride of his family.

Alar was an average student, with average grades and his only notable feature was his extending knowledge on military history. The teachers were disappointed by his average aptitudes, since he was a Glouschester. Even his father stopped coming to parades and exercises out of shame.

Alar’s luck turned a few years later, when during a practice on Novel Horizon, he was outmatched by a better opponent. His small platoon, lost in the jungle, was surrounded by all side. Demoralized, his troops laugh at him for his lack of ideas and string of defeat. Luckily, a young student name Renji helped him out. Combining his cunningness to Alar’s talent for organization and logistic, he managed to turn the tide and save the day. Since that moment, they became best friends.

During a discussion, Alar admitted his love to a girl named Ayslinn. Renji chocked of surprise, as he was a good friend with Melina and Ayslinn too. They then started to see each other at the same time.

Alar graduated in 2783 and became lieutenant in the 75th Battalion under his father’s command. The same year, he bought a ring, wanting to propose to Ayslinn. At the last moment, too scared, he pushed back the demand, waiting to be certain enough of her love to propose, as Ayslinn is a girl filled with mysteries.

In 2784, Alar became captain, and his father died in the battle of the Yang Station against pirates, close to Azur. Since the 75th needed a commander, and Alar had the prestige of the name, he became Rear-Admiral the following week and granted full command of the battlegroup.

 Personality

Alar is a discrete young man, ever bored from his life of luxury and the disillusion of the military. Feeling the immense pressure of his name, he tries his best to be a competent officer, while being average. A poor leader, he balances it out with the help of his friend Renji and his extensive knowledge on military history and talent for organization.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Raised alone, he his clumsy and shy, uncertain of himself and hesitant in private situation, outside of the court petty talk.

<p style="text-align: justify;">While not being a rebel at hearth, he would follow Ayslinn anywhere, as his love for her is intense. His loyalty is only to his friends, felling no connection to the royal family or the Kingdom.
