Aside from his clothing, his gray eyes are the biggest thing to note about his looks. Not only do they compliment his wardrobe, but they give off an air of knowledgeable intensity that defies the stereotype of people with his eye color. If you asked him about why he chose the styles he did, he would most likely shrug and respond with "I just choose the simple things. I don't want to put unnecessary attention on me; I only lose focus on what matters when that happens."

When in conversations with people other than his family, he is rather blunt, pointing out anything amiss with what someone's done or said without a second thought. Of course, when this conversation is with someone who doesn't know Sven's nature, the former will inevitably make it harder to redeem themselves with the latter; since Sven dislikes provocative people, he'll inevitably lose his respect in said individual, thinking of them as a lesser being. He is much different when he speaks to his family, however; he gives his parents the respect they deserve, and cares enough about his younger sister--Agnes--to forego his emotionless mannerisms if it meant helping her out.
LIKES ; Any music involving a band / Reading / Getting to understand the people around him / Chocolate / Hearty foods (i.e. meat, nuts, etc.)
DISLIKES ; Intentionally-provocative individuals / Immoral individuals / Sour and bland food / Inappropriate remarks and appearances
STRENGTHS ; Intuitive - He can figure out a sort of "rough sketch" of a person by their body language, appearance, and mannerisms / Emotionally Stable - It takes quite a bit of stress and negativity before Sven shows any visible signs of these events getting to him / Dependable - When he's tasked with an assignment or objective, he'll make sure to see it through to the end with as much proficiency as possible, allowing others to depend on him if they're struggling with the same task
FLAWS ; Distant - At times, it can be difficult for others to get many words out of him; this is usually due to him focusing on something / Virtually Inoperable - On the rare occasion that Sven gets heated, his ability to process information and situations -- as well as solutions to escape sticky situations -- is impaired / Grudging - When he comes across someone he deems immoral or exploiting, he tends to regard them as lesser people compared to others
POWER ; Sven has genetically inherited the power of Super Speed from the original contractor in his bloodline, Hegner Gundersen. Although one of the most common abilities, it has nonetheless helped Sven greatly when he's needed it. The ability itself stemmed from the radiation modifying the legs of Hegner Gundersen on the molecular level, supercharging the appendages with mountains of ATP (the compound that gives energy to our body) when the brain sends the "activation" signal to them. This essentially puts the legs into a constant, extreme sense of adrenaline. Even though it's not very hard to control, however, Sven always feels a mixture of sluggishness and pangs of hunger shortly after he stops using the ability.

Afterwards, Sven lead a relatively uneventful and normal life until the age of 11, when he utilized his Super-Speed ability for the first time. He was lucky it was not only gym class, but that it was outside--it was near the end of the school year--when he activated it; otherwise, he would've been turned into a pancake from hitting a wall. Needless to say, the school erupted in a spectrum of emotions; amazement, wonder, and ecstasy from the schoolchildren, and shock, caution, and intrigue from the teachers.
Word spread of this incident like wildfire when school released, and by the end of the following day, Sven returned home to a small army of reporters and media companies eager to hear his two cents. Ecstatic, he answered every question he could until his parents intervened, gradually getting them to leave. They left their mark, however; in mere hours, news of Sven's existence was broadcast on televisions around the world, being labeled "a phenomenon unlike any other".
For a solid month after he reached international recognition, it seemed as though the entire Nordic region was trying to get in contact with him; his parent's phones rang constantly, a waterfall of e-mails poured into his inbox, and virtually everyone--from people wanting to make documentaries, to news organizations, to normal citizens simply enthralled with the concept of a person with superpowers--flocked to his previously-quaint house on the end of the street. It didn't take long for these people to infringe on his daily schedule, making it incredibly difficult to get anything done.
This was when Sven's previous actions came full circle, as he realized how aggravating life was when it was constantly interrupted by an intruding individual. Upon learning this, he resolved to keep his thought processes to himself, and to inquire about people at not only the right time, but with the right words. This is still clearly evident in Sven's mannerisms today.
Eventually, the harassment ended, and he graduated in the top 10% of his graduating year in high school, receiving both his Associate's and Bachelor's not too long after at the University of Agder at the ages of 19 and 21, respectfully; he decided to major in psychology for his Bachelor's due to his still-present curiosity in humanity. After graduating with his Bachelor's, he decided to move to Oslo to receive his Master's, nearing completion of the diploma at the age of 26. However, when he only had about three weeks left of the program, he was sent a sudden and arbitrary message by an unknown individual, demanding his immediate departure to Berlin, Germany. After three days of pondering (in-between studying his classes, of course), he reluctantly decided to follow the message's request, deciding that it would be best that his family didn't know of what was occurring.
Now, with a bus taking him to the correct hospital and the name Schreiber memorized, he anxiously awaited his arrival, hoping that whatever brought him here justified putting his future on pause.
