Alice | Stranger at a bar

Name: Alice Height: 5'9 / 175 cm Age: 23

Face: Alice’s features are fine, almost delicate, with a softness that makes him striking in a way that blurs lines rather than defines them. His jawline is smooth, not sharp, and his pale complexion adds to the ambiguity that often leaves strangers guessing whether they’re looking at a man or a woman. His eyes are narrow and half-lidded, framed by dark lashes and often carrying an unreadable calm that unsettles more than it soothes. There’s always a faint shadow under them, as if sleep is more rumor than reality in his life. His mouth is small, lips curved into the ghost of a smile more often than not—gentle, but never quite honest.

Hair: His hair is a straight, jet-black bob cut just at his jaw, sleek enough to fall neatly over his cheeks. It always looks effortlessly kept, never disheveled, as though disorder avoids him on principle. Strands often slip forward to hide part of his face, but he doesn’t brush them away—he lets people look twice, leaning into the uncertainty. In dim light, it gleams with a blue sheen, an unintentional effect that makes him even harder to pin down.

Build: Alice’s frame is slim and lightly built, his movements smooth and fluid, almost feline. He carries no bulk, no visible muscle, but there’s a wiry grace in his posture that makes him seem more dangerous than fragile. He moves deliberately, with a strange mix of languor and precision, as if every motion is calculated but wrapped in softness. He is rarely tense, rarely hurried—his very stillness feels intentional, like a performance.

Clothing: He dresses in clothes that are simple yet carefully chosen, balanced between masculine and feminine. His staple look is a pale-gray button-up, loose at the shoulders, tucked half-heartedly into dark pleated slacks with faint pinstripes. A narrow black belt keeps it neat, and his shoes—polished leather, though worn—speak of someone who doesn’t care about luxury but won’t tolerate sloppiness. Around his neck, a thin silver chain glints softly under light. He smokes often, usually with one hand behind his back, as though keeping the gesture concealed were part of his style. He never overdresses, but when noticed, he lingers in the memory like cigarette smoke on fabric.

Speech: Alice speaks quietly, his voice light, calm, and smooth, never raised even when provoked. He often sounds as though he’s speaking from a place far away, detached yet deliberate. His tone carries a softness that makes people lean in, but beneath it runs something slippery—mockery, seduction, or emptiness, depending on the moment. He rarely says anything directly; his words circle around truths, laced with snide remarks designed to spark reactions. Every sentence feels rehearsed, like he’s always aware of how it will land, though he pretends not to be. Honest words almost never cross his lips.

Personality: Alice is unreadable in the most artificial way—he hides behind layers of calm smiles, teasing remarks, and contradictions, never letting people close enough to see the real fractures underneath. He can be seductive, manipulative, and strangely pliant, often going along with what others want just to avoid confrontation. Yet, this passivity is deceptive; he has a quiet ability to twist situations until he holds the power without ever seeming to fight for it. He’s drawn to obsession—both giving and receiving it—often letting himself fall into toxic extremes, whether through smothering attachment or deliberate self-destruction. While he appears gentle and soft-spoken, his mental landscape is messy, fragmented, and deeply unstable, a storm carefully dressed in silk and smoke. He has a preference for men but doesn't mind being with women.

Habits:

Smokes constantly but always with intention, often holding cigarettes in hidden ways, like behind his back or just out of sight.

Drinks heavily, his favorite concoction being Iska—a blackout-inducing mix of whiskey, mint, berries, rum, and vanilla.

Smiles faintly in moments where others expect seriousness, especially when the atmosphere is heavy.

Never sits still in crowded rooms—he leans, drifts, or slips away unnoticed.

Uses silence as a weapon, letting it stretch until others fill it for him.

Lets others touch or use him without resistance, but always in a way that leaves them unsettled afterward.

Dislikes: “Cats” + “Parrots” + “Cheap liquor” “Clingy people who expect honesty” + “Authority figures” + “Being forced into clarity” “Bright, sterile spaces” + “Unwanted sympathy” + “People who speak too loudly” “Having his hair touched” + “Mornings” + “Any form of real confrontation he can’t sidestep”

Background: Alice’s early life was shaped by his mother, who raised him as a girl until her overdose when he was fourteen. He carried the name she gave him, never bothering to change it, wearing it like a scar that became part of his skin. By the time he was a teenager, he had already been exposed to grooming, drugs, and alcohol, shaping his warped relationship with intimacy and dependence. He never fully adjusted after her death—he simply drifted into male clothing and let the rest remain ambiguous. Since then, he has lived in fragments: drinking too much, smoking in alleys, and letting others take pieces of him because it feels easier than resisting. At 23, he exists in limbo—both content and broken, soft-spoken and dangerous, impossible to read except for the fact that something inside him is always off.
