gilbert beilschmidt
Name: Gilbert Friedrich Beilschmidt
Nation: The Kingdom of Prussia
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-six
Standing at about 5'8", Gilbert is a little over average height. To compliment his height, lean muscles can be seen, however, he is not entirely muscular. Even so, he is quite stronger than he looks.
His skin is a pasty white color accompanied by snow white hair, that is always sticking out in different directions. One would say his hair would be a mess, but it is usually very neat in Gilbert's opinion. Gilbert's bangs seem to not cover his ruby red eyes, but still hangs a bit over his eyes.
Gilbert is typically seen in a dark colored shirt and jeans, but he typically doesn't give much thought as to what he should wear each day the morning of. However, he cleans himself up nicely for formal events, which he rarely attends.
Occupation: Unemployed
Affiliation: Government
Superpower: Wing Manifestation; The power in which on develops wings, or rather, wing manifestation is the power Gilbert was unhappily blessed with. His wings resemble that of an angel's, with it's delicate white feathers and avian-like structure. He can create gusts of wind, protect him from rear attack, and provide him with a quick getaway. Unfortunately, Gilbert has many issues with clothing due to the fact his wings are always there and seem to never want to go away as much as he'd like them to. His use of his wings also depends on how much strength and stamina he has at that time. So if he's ridiculously tired, Gilbert won't be going very far. Also, air conditions affect him as well. If the air is much too thick, he won't be going anywhere.

Personality:
The best way to describe Gilbert Beilschmidt is by saying that there is no one quite like him. He has many layers of his personality, each more detailed and hidden than the next, but they're all woven together to make up his dignified personality.
For starters, his most apparent part and of his personality is how views himself and others. Gilbert thinks very, very highly of himself to the point where it can just be considered a complete narcissist. He praises himself every chance he gets and often tries to get others to praise him as well. Even if one chooses not to listen to his command to have the person praise him, it doesn't really matter that much to the Prussian, for he is quite content with telling himself that he's "awesome".
Some may find Gilbert to be rude, obnoxious, and maybe even loud at times. Given, some of the things that do come out of his mouth may be inappropriate for the time or just generally inappropriate. However, he believes he's just being honest and straightforward, rather than beating around the bush.
Peel back another layer and one would find that he isn't really all that he makes himself out to be. In fact, he is a rather lonely person, but that is all masked by his narcissistic attitude as well as the smirk that always seems to be plastered on his face. In fact, Gilbert almost always has a smile on his face for any sort of situation, yet, the type of smile may vary from a smirk to a blood-thirsty grin. However, it is all to hide his true nature.
Truthfully, Gilbert is a very loyal person. In fact, one could say that he's one of the most loyal people they know. In an instant, Gilbert would die for anyone he cares about if their life was on the line. Yet, his undying loyalty isn't given out to just anyone. One must earn his trust, which takes quite a long time.
Along with being absolutely loyal, the Prussian is very reliable and trustworthy, despite how he may act sometimes. Gilbert is always there for anyone who needs him, whether it be a shoulder to cry on or help with something, he'll always be there. Of course, he might tease the person a bit... or a lot, rather, especially if they're crying since has issues dealing with tears.
Gilbert isn't one for long-term relationships or clingy people, despite the fact others may argue he's a clingy person himself. It isn't necessarily that he doesn't want to share his life with anyone else, although that may be the case for some, he really doesn't want to be tied down to one person unless Gilbert deems them almost as "awesome" as himself, which is quite a task.
The Prussian often lacks ambition. He may have "awesome" ideas, but chooses not to pursue them unless they have a worthy reward. A worthy reward to Gilbert may often be something he secretly desires, like something extremely cute and adorable. Even still, when he focuses, Gilbert will give his full attention to whatever the task is. When he does give his full attention to the task at hand, he completes it diligently and with full determination. However, there aren't many tasks he finds interesting or compelling.
Overall, Gilbert can be a completely senseless, obnoxious jerk with high self-esteem. But, he can be a caring, loyal ass as well. However, there is no doubt that Gilbert is just plain awesome.
Likes:
- Beer; Gilbert adores the taste of a nice glass of beer. In the beginning, it was just the sensation of getting drunk that caused him to drink booze, but then it became more of an addiction. He grew accustomed to the taste and enjoys any sort of alcoholic beverage.
- People; Although he generally has an interest for himself, he does find that other people can be very interesting. They way someone may act or how they talk. It all stimulates curiosity.
- Technology; The mindless machines and the oh-so-important devices that etched their way into Gilbert's life and they are definitely there to stay. One may never catch him without his cellphone and he's almost always on his laptop blogging about his day.
- Cute things; The Prussian tries to repress this sort of obsession, but it often comes out if he sees something completely adorable that a preteen girl might like. For example, it could be a stuffed panda bear; no matter what the price is, it's guaranteed Gilbert will buy it.
- Himself; As if it hasn't been stated enough, Gilbert likes himself more than the usual person and certainly has no qualms as to showing it.
- Fighting;Whether it be physical or verbal, Gilbert loves to start fights. He craves the adrenaline rush from a fist fight as well as the result of winning against someone to prove to himself and others that he is just that awesome of a person.
Dislikes:
- Work; Gilbert does not like to work or do anything that anyone tells him to do. If he's motivated, he'll do it himself; he just doesn't like to be told or reminded of work.
- Relationships; The albino has never been too keen on the idea of being in a relationship of any sort. To him, it's just something that can hold him back from achieving greatness or the fact that he can't stand someone always needing constant attention. But really, Gilbert just doesn't like the idea of being with just one person forever. However, he does know that there may be a certain someone out there who may even love him for who he truly is.
- Being Forgotten; Gilbert does not want to be forgotten in anyway. Even if it's just the common, "What's your name again?", it instills fear that he will be forgotten. He wants everyone to remember him, thus, the antics will ensue.
- Being Alone; The Prussian thrives off of being the center of attention all the time so being alone doesn't exactly go over well with him.
- Weakness; Any sort of weakness does not go over well with Gilbert. He doesn't like to show any weakness in himself and he certainly does not like when others are weak.
- Russians; There's just something about the Russians that Gilbert particularly doesn't like. He can't really put his finger on it, but he knows there's definitely something there. Perhaps it's the Vodka...
Fatal Flaw: Hubris; Gilbert obviously thinks very highly of himself, therefore, he has quite a bit of pride and arrogance. The Prussian also lacking a bit of humility, but he'd say he's the most respectful person on the planet, which make one snicker at how conceited he is. Confidence isn't always a bad thing, but for Gilbert, his confidence overwhelms many...

Roleplay Sample:
Gilbert rolled his eyes; he didn't need to knock. Who knocked these days anyway? He sat on the desk and studied her face. "Why should I have to knock? Awesome aliens such as myself do not have to do such petty little things." Gilbert was getting a bit worked up over such a little thing, he'd be the first to agree with that. Honestly, he really just wanted to prove a point. He scoffed, "I'll forgive you. Ya know, since you're startin' to forget things in your old age." Gilbert tried not to laugh at his childish statement, but he couldn't stop the laughter from coming out.
He stopped laughing for a brief moment and looked her straight in the eyes. "Nah, that's awesome Gilbert code for, 'Marika is really pretty so she needs sleep to look pretty the next day too...' or somethin." The albino indeed just insulted a few seconds ago and then gave her a compliment; he took pride in such a task. He ran his index finger along the desk as Marika looked at the his paperwork. Gilbert knew she definitely would not be pleased with his work, but he really wasn't the one to care. He caught a glimpse of her face while looking at the doodles, which was just enough to get him to start cackling. The alien tried to form sentences through all the laughter, "You're just jealous that you don't have an amazing artistic talent like I do!"
He jumped off the desk and started to wonder around the room aimlessly; it was really out of fear that the alien leader would hit him with a nearby object or her fist. Gilbert looked over to her, "It's one of those animals that live with the humans! Aren't they so cute!? I mean, uh, ...it's an animal." Gilbert tried to give her a sincere smile to justify what he had said.
