Dunkel Almasy

Terranort & Guardian — Dunkel with his "Dark Guardian" Dark GF

Dunkel (the name is short for Dunkelheit which is German for Darkness), is the father of Seifer Almasy and a well known Sorcerer and Sorceress Knight that has lived in an eternally young body for over a Hundred Years, only sending his powers and spirit into another body once when his own was near destroyed during the Sorceress War

Apperance[]

Physical Apperance[]

Dunkel's physical appearance has shifted twice in the last 100 Years however his body has remained young throughout that time.

After Dunkel's body was destroyed roughly 70 years previously he claimed a new body much to Squall's pheseque and was ironically enough a Gunblade Wielder, however Dunkel's personal sword could use Magic as Projectiles and therefore didn't require the Bullet effect of the Gunblade.

Dunkel has Golden Eyes which have long since been bleached from his usage of the Darkness Element, his hair is also Platinum Blond from also being bleached in Darkness.

In his previous body it seems that Dunkel's phyical frame is unknown as he wore a long black coat instead.

It is stated that Dunkel once had Brown Hair and Blue eyes, whom he gained brown hair from is unknown, however it is shown that presently Hyne has blue eyes.

Presently he wears a skintight, black, high-collared shirt, showing that he is rather muscular.

Dunkel's pants bear a distinct feudal Japanese style, his belt is tied like an obi-sash and he wears hakama (traditional samurai pants distinguished by the large pleats).

His hakama are dark grey near the top, with several loops for his belt and two buttons, both of which are undone.

The rest of the pants are tan with a small, lighter stripe of tan on the bottom hem, under the pants he has been shown to

have skin tight Jeans with armour on the knees and lower legs, explaining the armoured boots he wears.

The Pants are therefore more of a hip mounted cape than anything else which become easily expendable when unneeded.

Dunkel wears a plain black wristband on his right arm, while his left arm is significantly more armored.

In history he has been known to wear a Black armour with a horned helmet when he was acting as a Sorceress Knight, ironic enough his goal is to combine his power with the Black Knight GF which is a step down from the Ultimate Dark GF.

Personality[]

Dunkel is shown to be a cunning, callous, and a purely obsessed being with the sole goal of merging his Darkness with the Ultimate Dark Guardian Force.

Dunkel is not without good points, however. His past shows that he was once a noble man who willingly took a woman (later his Wife) as a Sorceress Apprentice when she was lacking behind in her magical training and cared for her until he started to lose his grip on sanity.

Even after this, which his loss in Sanity is believed to have been caused by his Wife's death, he still shows pity for Seifer and leaves him under Edea's care as a young child.

Biography[]

History[]

Dunkel was the son that escorted his father away from the original SeeD under the command of King Zebalga of the Zebalga tribe, Dunkel's history is largly unknown however it is mentioned that he fought in the Sorceress' War acting as Adel's Knight, it was in her service that his first body was destroyed and promoted him to gain another body, closer to the present he fell in love with a Sorceress' Apprentice and promised to help her with her studdies.

The "Sorceress' Apprentice" whom was killed by another non-original Sorceress as she feared that the apprentice would kill her and take her Hyne's descended Sorceress Power, ironically that Sorceress was slain by Dunkel in a fit of rage, the Sorceress Power within that Sorceress was stored by Dunkel until he came upon a worthy wielder whom was not weak of mind.

Dunkel was revealed to have married the "Sorceress' Apprentice" and had a son with her whom retained dormant magical potential, the boy's name was Seifer and in an act of mercy he was given by Dunkel to Eden Kramer when Seifer was old enough, stating to the new Sorceress that Dunkel was still bitter and the boy wasn't safe with him.

Present[]

A Knight[]

Dunkel finally agreed to head down from the "Paradise in the Sky" to the "World Below" after a Generation of sulking away from the inferiority of the people below, seeming detached from the world and having a far larger understanding of human nature, also as a Sorcerer of High Caliber he was able to start predicting the future, taking little interest in events which he knew would come to pass.

Dunkel however didn't expect to fall in love a second time, to a male this time around that was learning military mechanics in Galbadia Garden which Dunkel approched Edea and President Deling, easily talking them into allow the young man into being recruited into his forces, the young man's name was Trian Reine (Reine is German for Pure) and after various refusals he eventually accepted a position as Dunkel's Knight under his own state of mind.
