Random Facts About Friedrich Because His Writer Loves to Ramble!



-He constantly eats peppermints due to his superior officers complaining about his breath smelling like a dog's, or of old blood.

-When talking to people, his body posture tends to change. If he feels an inferior is challenging him, he tends to not move his eyes from theirs in an attempt to stare them down like a dog, posture straight and at attention. If a person superior to him challenges or reprimands, he tends to cringe, either tipping his head back or leaning his head forward to give the superior an easy shot at his jugular or spine.

-He is allergic to Aconitum (aka Monkshood aka Wolfsbane), silver, and chocolate.

-Most of his clothing is what one would expect of a soldier - casual, comfortable and nondescript. He has one article of clothing that defies this description: a knee-length denim-blue wool coat with fur lining. The lining was made from the fur of one of his rivals, the reason he was transferred to Paris.

-Friedrich does not like animals, and animals do not like him. No exceptions.

-He has training in fighting (hand-to-hand, teeth-and-claw, knives and guns), tracking (both in human and wolf form), basic anatomy (you need to know where you can and cannot hurt a person, ja?), and first aid. He’s a fair shot – he would be barely passable if not for his enhanced sight – but prefers to use his teeth.

-His favorite drink is a concoction that is equal parts milk, whiskey and blood. He has been forbidden to drink it while in Paris for obvious reasons, but still prefers to mix milk and whiskey over any other drink.

-He likes his steak cooked. Rare, but still warm, and still with a tiny touch of smoke. He prefers all other meat raw, and isn’t picky about what the meat is.

-He hates vegetables other than potatoes and carrots, and despises all sweets. He’ll eat apples, but is completely disinterested in any other fruits. Other than pomegranates – they intrigue him.

-He was originally in college for political studies, but was removed from the program during his junior year (he was 23; it was 1933.) Probably for the better – he was a terrible student.

-He has a wolfsangel tattooed between his shoulder blades, werewolf variant, of course.

-His highest rank in the military was Scharführer, a rank equivalent of a Sergeant in the U. S. Military. He was removed from the position for killing the only werewolf under his command.

-He likes American music, and listens to it on his shortwave. He spends a large part of his salary on black market records. Granted, he more than likely also confiscates them from people as well.

-He has a one room flat with a wardrobe, a stove, a sink, an icebox and a record player. No couch, bed, seats or table. He has to share his bathroom with the others on his floor.

–The flat he lives in is in an apartment annexed by the SS for housing soldiers. He refuses to share his room.

-He is incredibly sensitive to loud noises, strong smells, and strong tastes. This is a large part of why he won’t have a roommate.

-He sleeps on a pile of blankets on the floor.

-He will occasionally masquerade as a dog for assignments, wearing a collar and accompanying officers – or, alternately, officials – to their workplace. He hates the collar.

-When performing the previous point, they claim he’s half German Shepherd, half wolf. He thinks anyone who sees this as a dog is a nutcase, but that’s just him.

-He used to draw. He no longer does for pleasure, but draws composite sketches, maps and the suchlike when they are needed.

-He likes to carve things – bits of wood, old bone, new bone; he planned to try glass, and used to like stone, but his hearing has made that painful for him.

-He used to be a chain smoker, but has since cut back since the smoke bothers his nose.

-He is completely asexual. Different things seem to have replaced the need and instinct for sex. This does not surprise him, and he suspects it’s planned – dogs are neutered, after all – but he really doesn’t resent it. He’s got more important things on his mind.

-He is only known as a werewolf to a select few; and most of these people are not in Paris. [[OOC: Currently, I think only reichsfuhrerss1 knows, of the played characters.]]

-He has a playlist!

-Other points as they occur to me. Please ask questions, it gives me a chance to ramble and develop his character further (farther? Something!)!
