Name: Alan Germain
Age: 143 (appears in his mid 50’s due to being an elf)
Height: 5’9
Appearance: Alan is an older gentleman, with his age showing clearly in his face, particularly with lines around the eyes and a very slight bit of jowl, and his nose is slightly on the large side. His eyes are black as well as his hair, although he has begun to get streaks of white just above his ears. His hair is especially long, but pulled back in a tight hairstyle that makes it look as though he has a large door knocker hanging from the back of his head. As an elf he has the customary long, pointed ears, and he has an olive skin-tone.
Alan has impeccable posture, and a lot of pride in the way he carried himself, which shows in his choice of clothing. Although he is employed as a butler, he is not only head of staff but also well paid and able to afford very fine clothes. He prefers waistcoats in earth tones with gold accents, often wears black or gray slacks, and spats. He is also often seen wearing black gloves and carrying a riding crop.
Personality: Alan comes across as a well mannered although strict individual, and is both well-read and well-educated. He is charismatic, reliable, and takes much pride in his job and what he does. He expects those around him to be well mannered and to respect him, especially if they are staff under his hand. He is especially tight with his staff, and although sometimes a work-a-holic, he makes sure that his household runs more than smoothly. Alan, although an elf and very capable of using magic, is very against the use of it. He is instead pro-technology, and has strong beliefs for equal rights between elves and humans.
Family: Alan is an only child, and was brought up in a loving home by his very liberal parents. At the time, elves were the ruling class in his part of the world and humans had limited rights. The Germain family had always held ideas of equal rights for all peoples, were very pro-human, and instilled many of these ideas in their son. Currently, Alan works for a man known simply as ‘Mr. Jonathan’, who he considers close family as well. He was friends with Mr. Jonathan’s father during the war, knew the man as he grew up, and holds similar political views. He is very close with Mr. Jonathan’s 35 year old half-elf son, Theodore, who he is, somewhat secretly, romantically involved with.Alan also has a son of his own, Alan Cassidy, although he is unaware of the man’s existence. His mother was a human woman, Sarah, who he was involved with during the war, although she cut off communication with him when she discovered that she was pregnant. Alan still holds deep feelings for Sarah even though he will never be with her.
History: Alan was born as the only child to the Germain family who, and raised to be a respectable, open-minded individual. His family was well-to-do, but very liberal in their views, and therefore somewhat unliked in the political world of the time. Still, Alan was a relatively happy child, with many friends both human and elven.Socially at the time, elves were the ruling class, and had placed many restrictions on any and all human citizens, and many places were segregated between human and elven use. Humans were often not well liked, looked down on, and often unable to raise themselves up to higher positions of social status.
At 43 (as an elf in his world, the equivalent of 16 or 17) he was accepted into a university that, although not the best in the country, was open to both human and elven students. A mediocre student at the time, he spent most of his energy in being the school Casanova. He got himself in trouble a number of times, including once or twice with a teacher who had a penchant for severe disciplinary actions, although was luckily not expelled.
At the time of his graduation (he was about 54 at the time, elven equivalent of around 19 or 20), the social climate was just beginning to grow worse. Although Alan himself spent a number of years doing very little, he watched as many of his human friends and acquaintances slowly has more of their rights stripped away and began to be further oppressed for their shorter lives and lack of ability to use magic. He eventually joined up with a group in resistance to this, joined by many humans and only a handful of elves, until finally a civil war which had been threatening now for quite a while broke out. Alan found himself rather naturally on the mostly pro-human, anti-magic side of the conflict, and quickly embraced it.
Somewhere during the war he met a human woman named Sarah who he quickly fell in love with. Sarah herself was rebelling from an arranged marriage, and just as quickly latched onto the handsome elf, even more enamored with him over the fact that he had chosen to fight against his own elven people. He remained very secretly involved with her for the few months that he was stationed in the area, and when he was shipped off again the two kept in contact with letters for a month or two until she somewhat suddenly stopped responding. Alan continued for a while to send her letters, although eventually stopped, somewhat heartbroken, wondering if her silence could have been her family cutting her off from him, or perhaps she had finally been married off, or worse yet, that she had somehow been killed. He was unaware that the reason she had stopped contacting him was in fact because she had discovered that she was pregnant, and because of social implications and the fact that it was at the time illegal for elves and humans to marry. Instead she finally (and unhappily) followed through with her arranged marriage, and named the child after Alan when he was born, having his ears clipped in an attempt to hide the elven side of his lineage.
Finally, the mostly human, anti-magic faction of the war managed to overthrow the elven ruling class, and most of them were driven out of the country, closing to take their chances and travel East across the ocean. Those who remained found the social climate turned completely around. Although the humans that now found themselves in charge were working to try and make things as equal between elves and humans as possible, there was a great backlash against most elves. Eventually, magic was outlawed unless an elf was in possession of a license to use it, interracial marriages were outlawed, and elves were not permitted to hold any position within the government, and most elves found themselves very disliked and stripped of any social standing they had had previous, Alan included.
Alan found himself working small odd jobs for several years, although he kept in close contact with a number of the human men he had fought alongside of during the war. One of them men he was particularly close with, a man named Jacob, eventually had a son, Jonathan. Due to his close relationship with Jacob, Alan found himself in and out of young Jonathan’s life, and when Jonathan was around 23, moving out of his father’s home and starting one of his own, he offered Alan a job as his head of household staff, since Alan was still struggling to find a proper job.
At the time, it was only a small household in the city, with only two other hired house-staff, a pair of young human women who at the time greatly disliked the fact that the man who had been hired to be in charge of them was an elf. Over the years the household grew, Alan having to put his foot down time and time again with the house staff to gain the respect he rightly reserved and to make sure that Mr. Jonathan’s household ran as smoothly as it could.
Somewhere along the line, Mr. Jonathan became involved with an elven woman. Although she later left Jonathan due to the fact that she had no interest in settling down, she also bore the man a son, Theodore. At the time, Mr. Jonathan wished to keep the boy safe (as elves and half-elves were still greatly disliked), and moved his household to a large, private country home. Alan was not only kept in charge of running the household, but often had Theodore’s care left to him, as Jonathan was often away in the city, being involved heavily in the growing and changing politics.
Thirty-five years later, and Alan finds himself in much the same place. He has since managed to make Mr. Jonathan’s household almost entirely self sufficient, although he often makes trips to the city for trading goods or buying the few things they cannot produce themselves.
