PATCH
Alphons is taller, a little over six feet, and is extremely pale. They also appear to be almost completely hairless, except for a white-blonde pixie-cut and similar eyebrows. Their eyes are a piercing pale green. They are remarkably lean, with toned musculature, and are endogenous.
When they are in a casual setting -though it can never be said that they've let their hair down in public, so to speak- they dress in a blue saree, with silver edging. They wear simple sandals, and have a single silver ring on their right-middle finger, and a tiny silver stud in their left ear.
Alphons maintains a perfect economy of movement, shifting position only when necessary. Even their eyes do not wander, often focusing on an object in the background during a briefing or a conversation. When they turn their head to look someone in the eye, it is to add gravity to their words. Their voice is a smooth tenor.
Even during combat, it is as if they move in bursts, sprinting to cover before maintaining a perfectly still position. In combat the inverse is true, however; when Alphons and their mech, Elegance, take to the field, they operate in almost constant motion, popping a hip and turning a shoulder to minimize their silhouette, or bobbing and weaving off the center line in melee. But despite their seemingly unending movement, every action is still precise and perfect as they can make it.

PERSONALIZATIONS, CUSTOM PAINT JOB
Elegance is a heavily articulated, bipedal mech, with a pair of extra joints at every limb. Not only does it have extra length through every joint, the mech has also been carefully painted along every hinge with light-catching or light-resistant paint, obfuscating its weak points. Elegance is painted in a swirling pattern of black and a deep dark blue, and watching it move at full speed is like watching a river running over rock
Life’s beginning sprang from space, and so shall its ending.
Those birthed unto the Jeonjaeng Poji have been scientifically designed to be perfect warriors. The genes that went into their makeup come from combinations of athletes, dancers, and warriors, and from that talented stock, only those with exceptional learning capabilities and mild temperaments are deemed suitable for the program. With such impressive genealogies backing their warriors, the Jeonjaeng Poji have developed an imposing reputation across many systems as mercenaries of quality.
Alphons Gibraltar was grown in the 571st batch of said youth, in a class of 34. Had they been in a class of ‘normal’ folk, the child would’ve been deemed a prodigy in regards to how quickly they learned and how well they excelled physically, but in this carefully cultivated crowd, Alphons was placed towards the bottom percentile. The weight of their future as mercenaries representing the Jeonjaeng Poji was ingrained in the children, as well as all the lessons on weaponry, relevant history, and tactics that would be needed for their future profession. Friendship was discouraged in that environment, with the lecturers instead fostering an atmosphere of pointed competition. In the end, by their 21st cycle when they were cast out into the wide universe to bring honor and money to the Project, Alphons left with no particularly strong bonds and a strangely coarse obligation to their origins.
It has been eight years since their inauspicious release into the mercenary scene and Alphons has done their best to bring money and reputation to the Jeonjaeng Poji. Their actions have brought only good tidings back ‘home’, but they are increasingly disillusioned with the life they’ve left behind. They’ve heard of the great deeds against impossible odds of others of their class, and know that they could never measure up, even if they continue to excel compared to the rest of the Lancer field.
They entered into the contract with Mirrorsmoke with no expectation, secretly hoping that something will happen, to change their dynamic in the field, as well as the dynamic of their life.
