       FULL NAME:
       → Kenneth Melwood

       AGE:
       → 17


      SEX:
       → Male

       BIRTH PLACE:
       → Central

       RACE:
       → Amestrian

      DEPARTMENT:
       → Newly Deployed

       DATE OF BIRTH:
       → December 12th


       ...........................................................................


       HEIGHT:
       → 170cm

       WEIGHT:
       → 73kg

       PICTURE:
       →
Spoiler:

      DESCRIPTION:
       → Kenneth stands at an average height and weight with mildly shaggy brown hair and a pair of hazel eyes tucked behind stylish thin rimmed glasses. Lacking any discernible scars or features, he has used his blandness to blend seamlessly into the crowds around him and help keep some of his anonymity. His body is almost lithe, his muscles kept from atrophy by his strict workout regimen that he uses not to bulk up or grow stronger but keep his weight and body shape as close to the public average as possible.

A military brat, Ken keeps much of his military attire in pristine shape at all times when working around any official military instlation. His boots and brass are always polished, his uniform is always crisp and clean. He believes the military is a higher calling and as such deserves the utmost respect. He lacks any sort of laid back nature when it comes to the rules and regulations, preferring to go by the book in dress and behavior in public.

His dress outside of any military installment is usually some form of plainclothes without much care for style or design. Most often it involves button up shirts left open to reveal a white or black undershirt with jeans and sturdy boots. He has several pairs of glasses and sunglasses, most of them with thin wired frames and scratch resistant lenses. The most notable clothing feature is a USB drive he keeps on a cord around his neck, apparently a very important item to him since it never seems to show up more than a few feet from his person at any time.

Rarely does Kenneth travel anywhere without his courier’s styled bag. In the bag he keeps a laptop and several other items he finds useful when running an operation or acting on behalf of an employer. These items include: several cords to connect to various types of inputs and outlets, a few memory sticks, a can of pepper spray, a gas mask and a rarely used pistol, all of these reside inside the bag in various compartments and pouches. Kenneth does keep a lockpick set, a multi-tool, and cell phone in cases on his belt when he is out and about in the world. The only weaponry he carries with him constantly is a folding tactical knife, assumingly more to threaten would be thugs than actual combat.


       ...........................................................................


       PERSONALITY:
       → Like any person, Kenneth is very multifaceted and as such requires an in depth description of his public and private personas. With so many layers to his personality he has almost completely compartmentalized himself so that he can operate like any other person in the world.

Professionally Kenneth is the perfect soldier on paper. He never breaks ranks, never crosses lines, and acts accordingly for his office. His clean pressed military mindset has him follow the chain of command and work his hardest to make both himself and his superiors look as good as possible. Further, he prefers to be quite punctual and in fact finds straying from the standards that the military has laid down an absolute disgrace and something to be avoided publicly. Of course, publicly and professionally are not the only parts of any person’s life.

Beyond his work around military installations, Kenneth prides himself on his talent in the field. Though he has not had much time to prove himself, Boot Camps and his graduating school both agree he makes a fine field agent for intelligence officers. His fascinations with technology and puzzles lead him down the Hacker’s path and his ideas on psychology and anatomy when talking about intelligence services took him to Alkahestry classes. He uses both of these to his own ends to achieve covert operations. Though he has yet to apply his theory and knowledge to the field, Kenneth is ecstatic to get the chance.

In his personal life Cadet Captain Melwood prefers a life of mild luxury. Cigars and cigarettes, professional shaves, professional boot blackings; he is a man of simplicities and niceties when he can afford them. His goal, after a long and illustrious career in the field, was to retire to a desk and oversee an intelligence unit for the Amestrians. Of course the goals and private lives of the military were far from actually being private.

       LOVE:
1) Cold Weather
2) Rainy Days
3) Spicy Food
4) Puzzles
5) Getting his boots polished

       HATE:
1) Heat
2) Unprofessional Methods
3) Children
4) Failure
5) Lettuce

       DEEPEST SECRET:
       → Being interested in the intelligence industry, Kenneth Melwood’s biggest secret has to be his underground research and data gathering. He works hard to put himself into a position where he cannot be easily cast aside. Should this secret be discovered it could result in his expulsion from the military or even prison time.


       ...........................................................................

       HISTORY:
Kenneth was born to a pair of military parents who immediately began to instill a sense of duty and hard work into him. He attended school in Central with a focus in studies on Anatomy and Psychology with his parents hoping he would make a great doctor one day. Instead his interests fell towards the military and like his parents before him, he steered himself towards those ends without much care for anyone’s opinion. After moving from primary and general education into a military academy, Kenneth’s world changed.

Not some run of the mill schmuck, he adapted to the life of the military academy quite well and in fact loved his classes on tactics, history, and field operations. Over time he became quite he became quite the productive student while his classmates busied themselves with social politics and the chasing of opposite sexes. His determination and mindset gave the boy a case of tunnel vision that he could only barely escape from a little later in life when the realities of boot camp and the battlefield had set in. Still, he saw decently well liked and spent a little of his spare time on social interactions and the science behind it, probably due to the fact that field work in the intelligence community involved great communication and social interaction skills to gather information or slip through tight security.
His specializations in computers and Alkahestry (A class which he found great interest in with his background in Anatomy), led him down a path that he felt was above that of the average soldier or alchemist. His time there was some of the best years of his life as he earned his way up the academy’s ranks and into a position as a minor officer there. Once assigned as a Cadet Captain his authority and respect were tested and through those fires was forged a fine theorist and practical applicator of strategy in non-combat settings. This ability to lead would one day be quite important as he managed an entire division of covert operatins, or so Kenneth believed.

Boot camp was the next point in Kenneth’s life, allowed in a year earlier than he should have been due to his knowledge in Alkahestry. The months spent proving his title and command abilities went well but it was ultimately decided he would not be recognized as a State Alchemist due to his lack of proficiency. He was discharged from camp into the proper military with the rank of Cadet Captain. It was in the boot camp that he realized exactly what he lacked in experience compared to others who had done some form of combat or real world living outside of the military. Though he had the advantage in etiquette, planning, and theory he seemed always a step behind in analyzing and anticipating the human element of any equation. He has yet to experience any field operations and has been deployed amongst the regular forces to gain the experience necessary to reapply for State Sponsorship as both an Alchemist and Military Officer.

REVISE~

Lookin' good, lookin' good. ^^ Few things, though!

CHARACTER TYPE: At the top where it says Alkahestrist, should be Alkahestrist/Amestrian Militant. :3

PICTURE: Could you put the link in IMG tags? Whatwith the [img]URL[/img*] minus the * thing.

HISTORY: 162 words short. ^^;

CREATOR COMMENTS/FACECLAIM: If you don't need these spots, mind deleting them from the app? Makes things look a bit neater.

OFFICIAL TITLE: This should really be something more pertaining to the type of Alkahestry your character does. IE, "Scar" or similar. Plus, "Yet to be Declared Alkahestrist" would sound kinda silly during an introduction. xD

Anyways, besides history, it's mostly just a few small things. Fix these up, and you'll be good to go!~

I will remove the stuff and add to history when I get home. However, it is my understanding that an Alchemist or Alkahestrist only gets their title when they become recognized by the military as a competent and state worthy alchemist. As such, I have achieved neither and shall go without title until my character earns such, in character.

Sorry Jay to butt in, just posting in for some clarification. That way everything can get sorted at once.

Official titles on this site are made by you on creation. Even freelance alchemists/alkahestrists get their own. You don't need to become a state alchemist or be recognized by the military in order to have one.

Also, you'll need to change your username to match your character name ^^

Forgot to put the picture in IMG tags, and add the /Amestrian Militant to the Case File thing at the top. ^^; Last little nitpicks, don't worry. xD
