Al

He's pretty much the epitome of True Neutral (of the lazy bum variety). More info will be in his character sheet.

0 · 1,327 views · located in Eat Out - Tierge's Resturant

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by RavioliMan

Description

"Hey, how ya doin'?"
---
All the cool kids are giving their characters themes, here's Al's
Smash Mouth - All Star
---
Status: Alive
Race: N/A
Alignment: True Neutral
Allies: Makthus, Ava, Argol, "Handsy"
Enemies: R'ystelhar, anyone from his home dimension, Demon Lord Psophor
Age: He's uncertain about his earth age, he's teetering on 12 or 300.
Sex: Closest to male as a person from a fifth dimension dominant world can get.
Physical Description: Al has brown, oily hair. He's scrawny and he usually dons a dopey, half awake smile. He's usually seen drinking from a bottle (the liquid it contains is unknown to him. He's not certain if it's soda or alcohol). He's also seen with a top hat that's usually bought from a costume store
Personality: Al is lazy, at least in fights. He, however, can take on tasks, whether it's as easy as taking a step or as hard as doing work (for him, doing work is hard), but he chooses not to. To make up for this he tries to be a pleasant guy, or at least playfully mischievous. However, if properly motivated (annoyed being more accurate), he'll take on far more difficult tasks. He also displays fair amounts of stoicism. While he is lazy and stoic, he is easily fascinated by the science of each universe.
Abilities: Being from an eldritch world (more info will be at the next section), Al can use a vast variety of abilities, the main abilities he can use are telekinesis, psyballs, universe walking and teleportation. These usually help him when he's in a pickle (namely a fight that he's forced into). However, the keyword here is can. While he can use a vast array of abilities, he chooses not to. Mainly because their effectiveness and the amount of effort needed to use said abilities varies from universe to universe and how resilient the inhabitants are and he doesn't feel like finding out.
Historical Background: As stated above, Al is from an eldritch world. In his universe, it's a custom to go an conquer and/or destroy universes. However, Vince couldn't care less about conquering or destroying. He was (and still is) mainly interested in science, usually by conducting his own experiments and building devices. Though, the masses of his homeworld saw his indifference for conquering and destroying as a weak link and exiled him to another dimension.
Useless Trivia Stuff:
People have asked if his name is short for "Alexander" or "Albert" (sometimes "Alejandro") and he shrugs each time. Mainly because he took two letters and just said that's his name.

Humanly substances like drugs and alcohol have no effect on him.

So begins...

Upon exile from his universe, Al stumbled upon "The Lazarus Moon". Al looked around and took a swig of his drink-of-unknown-fluid. Nobody seemed to be paying attention to him, or paying him any mind. Just the way he liked it. He walked over to a table and sat down, though it was a bit more difficult to walk here. "Huh. Gravity's a bit heavier here than in my home dimension." Al thought to himself as he took a large gulp from his bottle. A waiter walked up to him. "Hello, sir." The waiter said to Al. "What can I get you today?" Al looked at the waiter, not knowing what food they served. "Can I get a-" Al then spoke in his native tongue. Something that can't be spelled out using the human alphabet, or mimicked with any weird noises anyone could make. The waiter looked at Al with a face that looked like a combination of confusion and shock. "We don't have that here." The waiter said, trying not to blurt out "What the hell are you saying?" Al then looked at his menu then read aloud "Burger." The waiter then raised an eyebrow. "Do you want a burger?" The waiter asked. Al nodded, not knowing what a burger was. The waiter then walked away to get Al's food.

About thirty minutes went by and he still didn't get his food. Al looked in the kitchen area and noticed the employees were too busy watching him. He sighed and thought to himself "Just as I was enjoying myself." Al then got up and walked to the patio.

As Al stumbled out of the bar, looking like a drunk, he looked around. The architecture of the patio and the city in the west, Wing City looked so eldritch to him. He had to take a few double takes to make sure he wasn't having some crazy hallucination or fever dream. Or his equivalent of fever dreams. "What is this place? How do people live like this?" Al murmured to himself. He would've liked to move, but he was in so much shock and confusion that he didn't know where it started and where it ended.

Makthus was far too tired, He had earned himself a good sum and was attempting to find someplace to eat, atleast someplace that won't get him arrested. There were too many fancy places in Wing City. Tierge's was always a reliable place. It had quickly grown on Makthus, they welcomed you no matter what, and served you like an equal, and sometimes that is exactly what Makthus needed.

The doorman did his usual polite introduction, delivering a slight bow. "Yeah, Yeah, Go and fetch me someone, I'm literally and figuratively starving." Makthus rebuked, He took the closest seat, Kicking his chair dangerously far back as he placed both his boots onto the table. The restaurant was pretty empty, a few lonely patrons scattered around. The only real interesting one was the apparent drunk stumbling outside the restaurant. He looked quite lost, out of place so to say. He looked like he would be confused even if he wasn't what looked like piss drunk.

As Al stumbled around, looking confused out of his mind, he came to the conclusion that he should probably get back inside the bar. "Yeah, this is familiar territory, I'll just be in here." Al thought to himself.

He stumbled back inside, still trying to get used to his surroundings and the general gravity of the new universe that he's been exiled to. Still, he didn't like being eyed at by the employees, even if he did literally just walk out of a tear in space and time that just mended itself back together as he walked out of it. What caught his eye was the shady fella that was looking at him. Al would very much like to go back outside, but the place was far too eldritch for him. Al looked around with his eyes. After a good ten seconds he asked "Hey, how are ya?"

Makthus switched his stance, flipping the boot that was previously under the other over it while impatiently running his hand along one of his many pockets. The man he'd previously given a glance re entered the restaurant, he seemed nervous and out of place. The man seemed to catch his glance as he started to approach him. Makthus both smiled and sighed, he liked these moments, but he was still so damn hungry!

It took him a few moments until the man threw out a greeting. "Well, how courteous. Personally I'm doing just fine, it takes a couple of stabbings before I lose my humor. You, you don't look all that good yourself." Makthus swung his hand up pointing directly at Al. "Really, you do look like someone who is about to get shot while turning the next corner...

Makthus leaned forward whispering gently ...That wasn't meant to sound as much of a threat as it did"

  1. Ah, it's okay m'dude, I understand. Also, if we're actually in the bar I think we may need to switch locations.

Al narrowed his eyes on confusion. "Wait- Get 'shot'? What?" Al said in a confused voice. In his universe, guns didn't exist and would probably be deemed obsolete. Normally, their methods of killing others would be vaporizing them, throwing them into the second dimension, crushing them via telekinesis, you know. "Normal" stuff.

Al looked around before actually introducing himself. "Anyways, m'name's Al. Uh. I don't mean to be rude but...how do you greet each other in this universe?" Yes, this place was so eldritch to him that he couldn't grasp the seemingly simple idea of shaking hands. In his universe, they'd wander around in other peoples minds and implant thoughts in there. But here, he couldn't do that to anyone.

Makthus rose from his chair in a sudden motion of agility. Immediately grasping Al's hand. Giving it one firm shake while nodding his head. "Gooday Al, 'names Makthus, pleased to meet you." he then sat back down onto the chair, sideways so that he faces Al "But that's it then! You are not from around, and not in the normal sense." Makthus made another gesture towards Al while tipping his chair dangerously far back.

"But the question comes down to, what kind of a traveler are ya? Are we dealin' with a poor soul venturing through the endless possibilities of time? Or is this interplanetary, Wait no, that's not the word... Makthus tapped his cheek, momentarily distracted from his favorite pastime, Talking. "Oh, I know! Is this some Interdimensional business you are dealing with?

"Interdimensional? Yes. Uh, but business? More like exile." Al said. "I was banished because my home world loves conquering stuff, but, um... I'm a bit too lazy for that. I was a scientist though, but I studied my universe. This world just straight up contradicted my research."

Unbeknownst to them, another...thing was watching them. "I have you now." The thing thought to himself.

Makthus nodded his head throughout the entire explanation. His smile grew throughout it, "Oh well, I can respect a man who enjoys the glory of being lazy!" He turned his head to the barmaid who had approached the table, she had been quiet, not to disturb the conversation. So it seemed almost unnatural how Makthus had noticed her. "Would you be sweet and get me something large, I want it to last. For him, get him something strong" He then snapped back to Al, His apparent energy was exhausting.

"So the science of the place you come from is completely disproved by this world eh? Sounds fun. I'm getting you a drink, so that means you'll have to stay and tell me everything. Sorry, But it's one of the most important rules in our world, You better follow it! Makthus held a cheeky tone through the last part, His smile growing as he looked at Al

Al chuckled as he was starting to warm up to the idea of living in this universe. "First person to ever respect my laziness, and for that, I'll tell you all you need to know, my new friend. After all, whatever info I give won't quite matter to me, my home world hates me now." Al sat down in front of him, his arms folded on the table. "So, I gotta ask ya. What are you? A mercenary? A drifter? I mean, if I gotta give you answers, you gotta at least give me something, right?" Al said in a lazy, slow, yet jovial tone. Al kept his composure, but yet he felt as though he was being watched...

Moments later, the barmaid came back. One large drink for Makthus and one strong drink for Al. Al tried chugging the drink, but he reeled back in disgust. It would seem the this is so alien to him that all he could taste is the alcohol. Not that it'd effect him anyway. But to remain polite to his newfound friend he forced a smile and continued drinking it.

  1. Okay, I'm getting way to caught up with IRL stuff, I'll try to post within a day from now on

Makthus held his cheery smile throughout, he was enjoying the conversation. As his drink arrived he took a jolly chug, another one following it. He sipped with apparant regularity, he had, after all consumed a lot of alcohol in his life. He glanced towards Al as he finished his sentence, just in time to witness the sudden gulp he took. Perhaps he shouldn't have ordered him something strong, but that would perhaps make eventual negotiations easier.

"Me? Well as you would understand my dear drinking compatriot. I'm a bastard, a real one. I'll do whatever might come my way to ensure my survival. But that's usual, and that's were I deviate, I'm Makthus, and I do not believe I have a single moral. I simply enjoy being that bad man. The one the heroes go and hunt down so that thy can preach their ways.

Makthus suddenly leaned back on his chair, once again rocking it dangerously far back while taking a huge chug from his drink, emptying almost half of his "large" drink. Before rocking his chair back, slamming his drink onto the table. He took a moment, wiping his mouth before he looked back into Al "Not to say I'm a bad person, I just have a very special set of ideals."

Al cocked his head to the side and grinned. "Good and bad are a matter of perspective, friend." Al set down his drink. "Though, from the sound of it, I'd think you said you were an anarchist. My universe would hate you for that, they have a fetish for order." Al said through a chuckle. He leaned back in his chair and signed. "In my universe, I specialised in physics and quantum mechanics."

Al then looked around, somehow missing the thing that's spying on them. "Or, at least I used to. Again, this place contradicts all of my research."

Malthus leaned forward onto the table, putting both his elbows onto the table and his head in his hands. "Now you see, That's real interesting. How would you say that my little world is so different from yours? What is it that's so bedazzling to an outsider like yourself?"

Malthus then leaned back, awaiting the answer while holding his ever so staunch smile. His eyes were fixated on his compatriot. Yet he himself had slowly grown into high alert. Funny enough it had seemed his senses sharpened by that previous chug. And something, was very wrong with the situation. Not the fact that he was in a exchange of pleasantries with an interdimensional traveler. It was more his danger sense sending small alarms through his head. Was someone perhaps about to try and claim his head? Well it wouldn't be that easy. Makthus was fully prepared, he would flip the table and start an all out brawl if he needed to. But the first step would be to act unknowing, so he grabbed his drink, and amazingly enough downed the rest of it. Just like he normally would

Al scanned the area. Again, somehow avoiding to notice the eldritch horror spying on them. He then looked back at Makthus. "Well, I'm bipedal like the people here, so we don't look too different, it's just... What's this?" Al grabs a coaster and drops it into the floor. "Gravity was never this strong in my universe. Things as light as that would stay in the air. And what's with the buildings here? I'm surprised they haven't collapsed, not because of the strong gravity here, but they're so...third dimensional. Usually in my universe, buildings have five dimensions to stabilize them."

Makthus gave Al a long face. He took a quick glance down into his empty glass while scratching his head. "Five dimension you say, I suppose that would really improve upon our architecture!" Makthus faked a moderate amount of enthusiasm, in reality he didn't have that much of an clue what this was about. A weaker gravity could be understood. But all this about dimensions definitely fell on deaf ears.

While keeping a small focus on the conversation Makthus instead used the rest of his senses to understand where this sudden sense of danger came from. It seemed that Al was quietly observing his surroundings. Not like before, it seemed more direct now. Like he was looking for something specific. Makthus felt his scar itch excitedly, he didn't want to use his blasphemous powers so carelessly, he hoped sincerely that the intimidating presence would disappear. Before the power would take matters into its own hands.

Al stretched and then hopped out of his chair. He scratched his back and looked at Makthus. "Well, I'm gonna head off into town. I may need someone who knows a thing or two about the place. Willing to help?" Shortly after asking this the area around him turned grey. The patrons of the bar, save for Makthus, have been frozen in place. Al looked around in confusion. Then a vantablack triangle with two right angles materialized in front of them. It opened its eyes, which happened to be everywhere on ts body. "Where are you headed, Al?" The thing said in a deep voice. "Aw, hell, not you." Al said in a slightly exasperated voice.

Makthus smile shrunk in just the tiny amount. Well now it was atleast clear what had triggered his senses earlier. He slowly rose from his seat, taking one step to the left, away from Al and the deadly triangle of doom. He gently poked the barmaid which was on her way to their table. No reaction from her. Makthus slowly spinned on the spot towards the pair of visitors. "So I assume that's a friend of yours, he seems very pleasant."

He walked around the table placing himself behind Al. Lowering his right hand onto his sword. He gained the feeling that his weapons would be terribly inefficient against the triangle floating before him "See I would shake your hand and introduce myself, but well, you know.

Al looked Makthus with a sort of half smile. "'Friend' would be far too generous. This guy is more or less an interdimensional serial killer."

The triangle looked at Makthus. He was putting out the sorta vibe that he was smiling. He then shifted into a twelfth dimensional hypersphere. Al looked at the eldritch being with one eyebrow raised. "One thing I'll never get about you is the fact that you're always indecisive about which form you'll take." Al scoffed. "It's not indecisiveness, it's lack of commitment." The eldritch horror rebutted.

Makthus gave an unsatisfied grunt. "Hey now, some of my best friends happen to be serial killers, they can be a pleasant bunch, just have a different way on life" Makthus made an dramatic gesture before leaning forward, placing his arm onto Al's shoulder an placing his head next to his.

"And see, I can tell just by the way you talk that you are already like an married old couple!" Makthus then switched his focus onto the apparently ever changing mass of darkness. "But well, your old acquaintance here certainly seems less than happy with your so sudden and... world-freezing arrival, so I believe I should ask you to kindly return to whatever rotten hell you inhabited before this." A second passed before Makthus turned his head to Al, placing his ugly scar uncomfortably close "Not meaning any offense to you of course"

Al looked at Makthus with his eyes. "Yeah, but as I said before he's an interdimensional serial killer. He's most likely nastier than the ones here. Considering I've yet to see someone absorb another for fun, but then again I've only been here for two minutes so I'm not certain how alien this place is."

The horror looked at Makthus with an intrigued look. "Ah, so I see I've run into another 'brave' person. The last one was a bit of trouble, but I assume you're weaker." The abomination charges directly at Makthus. As the being was close to coming into contact with Makthus' chest, he just froze. The being looked around with his eyes, unsure of what's happening. As it turned out, Al was holding him in place with telekinesis.
