Name: Aldrich Abbott
Age: Thirty-seven
Birth Season: Fall
Occupation: Officer (drill sergeant)
Kingdom: Nevermere
Citizen Status: Noble
Height: 5'10
Weight: 183lbs
Body Description: Aldrich joined the military early on in life, resulting in him being well trained and being in good shape. He’s strong and muscular, and combined with a stubble beard and a somewhat longer mustache, it makes him look quite rough around the edges. From time to time he’ll let it grow out a bit longer, or shave, for he doesn’t care much about his appearance. The longest he would ever grow his hair is shoulder-length (like in the picture above) but he prefers to keep it short. Like any other soldier, Aldrich has the scars on his body to prove his loyalty to the crown.

Values: Determination, honour, loyalty, being true to yourself, pushing your limits
Aspirations/Ambitions: To prove his worth in the military, to get the acknowledgement he deserves, to show everyone he’s the best of the best
Alignment: Lawful evil
Reputation: There’s one word that described Aldrich best: bully. He’s a bully and finds pleasure in pushing people to the edge. He’s focused on personal gain and will do whatever it takes to move forward in his life with little regard to others. That being said, in battle and when needed in the military, he’s a team-player, but he’ll still try to be the leader of the group. He’ll work together for the greater good: maintaining Nevermere’s reputation. Apart from that, he’ll do what’s best for himself.

Before he became an officer, he was just a wayward soldier with a big mouth. He’d get into fights with other soldiers and be disrespectful towards them. Especially in his twenties, he was a pain in the ass to be around. Gradually, as he got older, he became more tolerable. He didn’t form deep connections with peers, but instead strove to climb the ladder. He kissed up to his superiors and showed of his skills and talent. However, it didn’t mean that he let his superiors walk all over him. He maintained his grounds and showed them what he was made of.

After the victory of Nevermere in the war against Coheed, Aldrich was promoted to officer and received additional training, allowing him to become a drill sergeant. As drill sergeant, he is known to be merciless and ruthless. If the training doesn’t please him 100%, he’ll let the soldiers do additional exercises and chores until he’s satisfied. Young soldiers fear him, but he is also a respected member of the military. He toughens them up and weeds out the weaklings that wouldn’t survive in the military either way.

Aldrich is also known as a ladies-man. He’s a bit primal when it comes to women. He wants them all round him, wants to be involved with them and wants them to serve his every wish and whim.


Combat Experience: Even before joining the military, Aldrich would be training with his older brothers. The Abbotts are known to be fierce fighters, and most of them (if not all) join the military at one point in time. He got acquainted with almost all weaponry and was drilled when it came to hand to hand combat. Once he joined the military, he focused mostly on swords and axes, taking a liking to how big and heavy they felt while holding them. Things like daggers were just too dainty for him. If necessary he can still use them to defend himself because Aldrich is rather adaptable and flexible, he just prefers bigger weapons. All of this came in handy when he fought alongside his fellow soldiers in the battle against Coheed.

His promotion to officer and drill sergeant only made him more invested in the military. He works out and trains a lot, by himself or with others, and he is also very active while drilling the young soldiers. Walking around, jumping up and down, lifting whatever is in his way. Everything he does is done with muscles. The more activity, the better.

Brothers: Both older; Bailey Abbott, Grayson Abbott

Tale:
In 790, Thomas and Helena welcomed their third son. Prior to his birth, his older brothers Bailey and Grayson were already born. The three of them didn’t differ too much in age, allowing them to be pretty close during their childhood. They played together and soon this play turned into fighting and practicing with wooden swords and shields. Their father, who was a soldier in the military, was determined to make great soldiers out of them. Apart from regular education, he drilled them like a sergeant would drill the newcomers. It caused the three boys to become tough, strong fighters.

Aldrich joined the military as soon as he possibly could. During his childhood, he had always told anyone who was willing to hear that he would become the greatest soldier ever alive. He lived and breathed the military, and it consumed most of his life. The young man didn’t have time for a wife and kids. He did enjoy women’s company, although most of the time these women were ladies of the night. He shared his bed with a fair amount of women and is aware that it is very much possible that he has some offspring walking around Nevermere, although he has never bothered to make sure. If it was the case, then it simply wasn’t his problem.

After the war against Coheed, Aldrich got promoted to officer. Of course this made his ego swell, although he truly deserved the promotion. He had worked and trained his ass off. His parents weren’t so lucky, though. His father died during the war, causing his mother to become very depressed. This depression led to her being weak and merely months after the war, she succumbed to an illness. His brothers and he only saw this as more reasons to strive for a successful career in the military, so they would be able to help and protect other children’s parents during wars to come.
