Fears
●Although Alain has a strong hatred of large crowds and being around people in general, he has an even stronger fear of being alone. Not a 'alone in a room' type of fear, a 'no one is truly there' type of alone.
●He has a strong of fear of being killed by having a pencil shoved through his ear and hitting his brain.
Secrets

○Plagued with constant nightmares and flashbacks, Alain gets an approximate 3-4 hours of sleep every day or two.
○He self harms. (See: Personality)
Love Interest/Crush
His girlfriend is An Ming.
Personality
Being a calm and collected person, Alain tends to be extremely quiet. You'll hardly ever hear him speak unless it's to make a sarcastic remark, perverted comment, or give you advice and or information on the topic at hand. He thinks constantly, whether it be about the past, present, future, or even his very own imaginary world. You'll constantly notice him day dreaming or being easily distracted by little things. such as a click of a heel, shutting of a door, or the turn of a lock. These skills, however, were deliberately heightened for his 'specialty'.
Although quiet most of the time, when having a one on one conversation with someone he'll often talk quite a bit. Unless annoyed or upset, which is a complete different matter.
When feeling an extreme of a negative emotion, whether it be anger or stress or sadness, he takes out the emotion on his body. Literally, Alain will take whatever is in reach and harm his body in any way possible. Due to this he has deep jagged scars and burns on his stomach and arms mostly. Which is why you'll see him only with a long sleeve shirt, no matter the temperature.
Looking over all of the negative bits, Alain is extremely funny and humerous when he chooses to be. He can be quite the child at times with occasional side comments such as: "That's what she said." and so on. He's a smartass, who's also fluent is sarcasm and douche. Although he'll never be a full on asshole to anyone unless he's extremely angry at the person, and most of the time not even then.
Biography
Born in France, Alain was a small sickly child belonging to a poor family of 5 children. Him being the youngest of 3 brothers and 1 sister. Around the age of 4 is when his brother, Allen, the second youngest taught Alain how to successfully shoplift without getting caught. After this Alain and Allen had gotten extremely close, being able to give their older siblings little snacks and candies here and there.
When Vincent, the oldest son, moved out was the same year Alain's father died of lung cancer. Forcing the kids mother to work double shifts to be able to support her 4 children who were still at home. During an argument with Francis, the now oldest at the house, Alain realized that Francis wasn't going to help with bills when obviously their mother couldn't do it by herself.
The now 13 year old Alain came to the conclusion that he and Allen would have to help. Instead of being able to work, the two started robbing money from stores and vendors. It wasn't your usual robberies however, it was distraction and a quick hand.
This continued up until Alain was 16, his older siblings all gone but Allen. His now 17 year old brother. Now with less expenses his mother, Lillian, could rest. But with her excursion of constant working she had grown sick and was unable to work herself. Leaving Alain and Allen responsible for being able to take care of themselves and their mother. At this time Alain finally realized his true talent with thievery.
Not going into detail, Alain had single handedly robbed a bank without anyone noticing. A simple stealing of keys, a notice of codes, and photographic memory can get you a long way. It took the bank 3 months to realize money was missing, but since it wasn't a large amount nor full proof that it was taken there was no investigation. Just suspicions of clipped wires and a mysterious hooded figure saw around the area.
When Alain moved out at 18, his brother Allen died of a heroine overdose 6 months later. He has yet to speak with his mother since the move out, purely for the fact he doesn't want her in danger.
(Disclaimer: I am leaving out traumatic events and experiences on purpose, all will be revealed throughout the roleplay.)
