Profile
- The suits he wears seems to conceal how muscular he is; they're not loose fitting however
- His bangs are parted in the middle but they're more flat against his forehead and just stop short above his eyes
- He could have some wrinkles on his forehead due to his eyebrows being scrunched a lot.
- ^ He has an RBF lol
Friedrich is a no nonsense guy and he is a perfectionist. He can be strict but he is also a little awkward when he tries to make up for his harshness. He likes things to be done a certain way and he doesn't like procrastination.
Aside from his serious nature, he does tend to get flustered and blush, though this is usually done by his wife's teasings ;D Compared with his son Archer though, Archer tends to get more easily flustered xD I guess this can be called a trait that has been passed down? Haha
- His wife is probably one of the very few women he could really tolerate. And Seraphina could be a handful, not in the negative sense, but because she's so touchy-feely in her affections. He doesn't mind it so much, he actually likes it but he wouldn't admit it outright. He loves her way more than he shows it lolol
- He has the physical fitness of a soldier, due to his upbringing. He got so used to daily workout routines that he can't break out of that habit. He would usually go for a jog in the early mornings, then sometimes during the day or evening he would go to the gym.
- The past generations in his family were mainly militaristic. He has a long line of ancestors who were either soldiers or had higher ranks up in armies. Friedrich was probably the first to break that chain, wanting to become something other than a soldier.
- You are considered pretty lucky if you see him smile. He rarely does so; only the people he cares about most has seen him happy.
- He tends to have a short fuse, but even with that, he's more likely to show his irritation than to get angry.
- He tends to have a very traditional mindset about most things, but he does acknowledge the changes that happen in society. He may be confused by some of them but he'll be realistic about it since he knows that people and ideas change very rapidly. He's not the kind of guy to get very outspoken about them whether they affect him directly or not.
Friedrich has grown up in a strict German household. This was mainly due to his father being a military man and so he had his own set of expectations. His mom was a more lenient woman but she was quiet and humble. Friedrich was treated both like a soldier and a son. He had a strict daily schedule and always had high expectations set for him. Since he can't refuse his parents, he had always done what he was told like a good boy. He made sure his schoolwork was one of the best, if not THE best, and he was made sure to be physically and mentally fit. He did have his liberties and fun though; if he did exceptionally well in something and his father approves of what was done, he would treat him to some entertainment that was out at that time and they would go on family weekend trips to other cities or places within the country. Friedrich had liked these times a lot.
He is a lawyer; a prosecutor. Basically his own father wanted him to either join the German military (his father was in the military before he retired), or go to school to become a doctor or lawyer. Friedrich didn't want to do the former, and after taking a few basic courses in both latter professions, he decided that he greatly prefers law over the rest. (Recently I found an post by an NYU blog talking about German and American law schools and apparently Germany has minimum 7 years (max 11; i think either way it includes 2 yrs work experience, gotta double check) of law school and you don't have to be an undergrad to join. So I've been thinking Friedrich would go directly to law school after finishing the high school years, or whatever they're called in Germany I forget. So he would enter at around 17-18 and he would graduate at around 24+ (haven't decided how long he would stay in school but it could be for 7 or 8 yrs since he is a very hard worker and he pushes himself a lot plus he tries to do things perfect the first time). )
He is married to Seraphina, a woman he met in his early 20's and has the complete opposite personality of him xD. Despite that, they had a good chemistry and ended up falling in love with each other, then eventually getting married. They had one kid, which is Archer. They lived in Germany until Archer was 5 years old, and then they moved to the U.S. thanks to a job promotion allowing Friedrich to work overseas. (Friedrich being kinda an overachiever and just pretty interested in law in general also did some extra studies pertaining to American and British law systems. Since he had that knowledge it was a better opportunity for him to work abroad). They moved to New York city where they lived for over 10 years. Friedrich decided to move back home to Germany once Archer started college, and Seraphina went back with him.
As a father Friedrich was pretty strict, mainly because that was the only kind of lifestyle he was used to. Luckily the atmosphere wasn't extremely heavy all the time thanks to Seraphina's lighthearted nature. Friedrich only had the best intentions in mind when taking care of Archer though, and he does try to make up for his strictness when he could, but he does so in an awkward and disjointed fashion. But he does try his best. When Archer started to get interested in law and Friedrich's work at a young age (around 10 or 11), Friedrich felt really touched and excited to teach Archer everything he knows. He did his best to show him the basics then tougher stuff as he grew older. Friedrich became Archer's biggest inspiration and idol when it comes to things like this.
- His Job
- His Wife and Son
- Exercise/ Working Out
- Early Mornings
- Peace and Quiet
- Coffee
- Laziness
- A Messy Workspace
- Incompetent Coworkers
- His parents, slightly (moreso his own dad)
- Being Teased (he deals with it though)
Seraphina is his loving wife. She was the first and only woman he has ever dated, and same is said for married. Sometimes he'd look at her and can't help but think how lucky and grateful he is that she is with him. He loves her a lot and can't imagine being without her.
Archer is his and Seraphina's only son. Friedrich tends to be strict but tries not to be too overbearing. Some habits die hard however, or at least carry on from one gen to the next. Aside from this, he feels proud of Archer for deciding to follow in his footsteps, to an extent. He respects his decision to be on the defense side than a prosecutor.
