Yeah, my charrie does the same, but he just tells someone to go away if he’s crying, sometimes gets violent, and most of the time forbids himself from crying. By the way, he is Alpha Grath

*cough cough* I wanna rant about another tragic baby *cough cough* XD
1st MC in Against All Odds
Side Character in Freedom’s Fire (and probably a couple others lol)
Leo Noam Baumann
26 years old; approx. 5’6″. Wavy dark brown hair, tan skin, hazel eyes. Below average height and muscular build.
His story began on November 11th, 1918, the day the First World War ended, to a rich German/Jewish couple (father German, mother Jewish), Felix and Adinah Baumann.
His mother and father divorced when he was 10, after the birth of his youngest brother, Wolfgang (he’s the oldest of five brothers), and his mother had to leave.
Leo remembers his birth mother better than any of his brothers do. He remembers her gentle spirit and her loving, doting nature, and much unlike his brothers, he even remembers the days when Felix was a kinder man than he is now.
Though he didn’t understand why, Leo knew that his mother was going to leave, and with the utmost sincerity, 10-year-old Leo made a promise to his mother that he would take care of his brothers.
But in the 16 years since his mother’s departure, Leo has seen his brothers be abused and felt abuse himself, both by his father, Felix, and his stepmother, Frida, and he blames God for it, which leads to conflict between him and Joshua (the 2nd oldest brother).
But underneath his tough exterior that only seems to blame God for his pain…
…Leo blames himself more than anyone.
He failed his brothers…and if his mother could see, Leo “knows” that she wouldn’t be proud of him…she’d be ashamed.
Naturally protective, loyal, and loving, Leo will do anything in his power to protect his brothers, including taking on the entire blame when they get into trouble, often taking his brothers’ beatings on himself just to protect them. An avid reader like all of his brothers, Leo loves the creativity found in fiction and loves the facts presented in non-fiction books.
Sweet and gentle, Leo can often be found comforting his brothers and even cradling Wolfgang (his youngest brother) when he needs extra comfort and reassurance.
Leo meets Talia, a young Jewish woman scarred by her previous abusive marriage, who has a young daughter named Ella. Leo loves them both, and they become more people he swears to protect.
Leo wants hope…but he doesn’t know where to find it.
Does he believe in a God?
Yeah, sure.
But not a good one.
November 9, 2023 at 8:36 pm #163863Alpha Grath
He has a profile like unto Nahim, except he has a little deeper voice.
“Alpha” meaning “first born” was created in a secret lab during the Sovereignty War. Originally created to have the looks of Nahim Nayhelm, but the powers of his true father by blood, Grathmere (fear and tremble at that name!), he was created to be the best soldier to ever enter the Galaxy, with not only exceptional skill, but also magic, or that was the hope of his father.
A Realn emperor rose to lead the warriors into the war, to vistory. And this would change Grathmere’s plan a little. You see, when the Realn have an emperor, the clans unite, and they become virtually Unstoppable. At the beginning of the Nanian war, the former Realn emperor, *presses fist to heart in Realn fashion*, was killed while visiting outside of the planet, Rea.
And this new emperor was the last Nayhelm, Nahim Alfred Nayhelm.
The birth and raising of Alpha was hurried, causing some aspects of the original plan to be thrown away, for Grathmere wanted his son to be the first to ever penetrate Rea, and kill the Realn emperor bearing the same face and likeness.
But somehow, the Realn discovered the lab (they didn’t know about the scheme though) and raided it, capturing Alpha and taking him to Nahim (Alpha is only a baby at this time, he was meant to grow up at a fast rate, but in the rush, that somehow got emitted from his genes mostly). Nahim adopts the child and his fiancée, Noranay Mae Helm, names the child Nahim Alfred Nayhelm Junior. And that was the adoptive name of Alpha Grath.
Jr.’s early childhood was blessed, with his father being emperor, but he considered it boring. Plain boring. He ran away a couple times, taking on the name of Arkin Enolc, a mercenary, and doing some odd stunts before returning home to get grounded under top security for months.
Needless to say, Jr. wasn’t a normal child.
At a young age, Jr became a elite-level fighter, but not for Grathmere, but for the very people Grathmere hated, the very people who had ages ago killed Grathmere’s old family.
When Jr was finally allowed on the battlefield (the Sovereignty war having morphing into the Last War of Ages), he met his father in different ways face to face and Alpha grew a hatred for him.
They battled, Alpha trying to kill the most powerful Nameless Thing of his race, and Grathmere only causing Alpha great pain.
During this time, Alpha fell in love with his adoptive sister’s best friend, a girl with golden hair and green eyes,a Sister as they are called, by the name of Emrold, or called simply Emmie. Emmie and he noticeably loved each other, and Nar was just waiting for Alpha to pluck up the courage to propose. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, Alpha was almost ready to propose, but before he had a chance came a battle, and in that battle…Emmie dies.
“EMMIE!” The great yell rang over the battlefield, as Alpha ran with all his might to his love. He caught her as she fell, and pulled off her helmet. His heart broke.
“Emmie.” Tears formed at the edges of his eyes, he didn’t have to look twice at where the bolt had struck her, she was going to die. “Emmie, you-you can’t do this to me. You-I need you.”
“Alpha…kiss me.” With tears in his eyes, Alpha bent down and kissed her lips, though the battle raged around them. He did not care for the outside world any more. Realn stood like a barrier around him, but he did not see them, it was only he and his Emmie.
“Emmie, I was going to-we were going to be-”
“Alpha, look at the stars.” She whispered, putting her fingers on the pendant that dangled over his heart. Alpha wept, the meaning behind those words killing him. “Oh, don’t cry. I shall see you. Beyond the stars, in Caelawond, to Ehyeh’s arms I go. Look to the… stars.” Her body fell limp in Alpha’s arms, his tears falling upon her lifeless face.
His heart was beaten, broken, shattered, smashed. His chest ached, his mind plagued with what he should’ve done with her while she was still alive.
He dried his tears, laying her tenderly on the ground, he looked up at the barrier of Realn about him, and pushed through to the edge, bidding them to leave herwhere she was, for he and he alone would carry his Emmie to her grave.
After then, Alpha hid his grief, thinking it avweakness and continued the battle against Grathmere. Years they battled each other until the climax which is posted on the first page of this topic.
And the life of Alpha moved on. He later befriended a naga by the name of Fives (skipping years ahead when the Fettians and the Realn unite) and marries the sister of Fives’ wife.
He would live an adventurous life, for a time before realizing what being a father meant.
He hung up his weapons and put away his armor, becoming a close father to his many children.
I apologize for the length, once I get started, it takes a while to end. I also apologize for any typos. I also thank anyone who read all that.
Who should I rant about next?

And, PLEASE ignore any misspellings or minor grammatical errors… I read through it a bunch of times but sometimes I miss things….
___________
Ok, first….. here is a bit of stuff about his parents, because I think it’s necessary to mention:
Fumihiro and Tsunami got married May 19, 2001, and moved to the city of Fremir, where Tsunami gave birth to quadruplets in 2002.
In 2003, Fumi became ill with a sickness that would kill him if he stayed in the country Extroit. The doctors told him he needed to move to the country of Eblar, which would guarantee his survival because of their better conditions. Fumi moved out in the same year, leaving behind his wife and four children.
Fumi’s friend Sablo Kalceilk (that is pronounced Cal-sec or Cal-seek) and his sister, Jero Kalceilk, offered to support the Sertitofries until Fumi was better, and so Jero stayed with Tsunami. Tsunami eventually leaves Extroit to assist Fumi (whose illness becomes worse)… and Jero stays back with the quadruplets…
I need to figure that part of the story out some more though……
___________
Anyhow, now for Flazzy….
Full name: Flaz Joon Sertitofrie (pronounced Sir-tee-toe-free)
Age: 14 when he’s first introduce into my book series
Birthday: June 9, 2002
Appearance: 5 foot tall (grows to be 5’4″ eventually), black hair, dark brown monolid eyes (though they appear black), sandy colored skin, button nose, and naturally pinkish lips.
Race: 100% Burni-Extroitian (which is human)
Personality: When first introduced, Flazzy is loud, annoying, idiotic, mean, talkative, and not-the-smartest. After his warrior training, he is thoughtful, still annoying sometimes, kind-hearted, logical, strong, and willing to learn.
He lives in the city of Fremir, in the region/state of Burne (which is in the country of Extroit)
__
Born June 9, 2002, Flaz is the oldest of the quadruplets. He was the healthiest, happiest, and heaviest of the four. His siblings are named Frin, Fir, and Friz.
Flaz and his siblings lived with Jero Kalceilk in a Burnswell mansion, just down the street from the affluent Jefferson family. The Sertitofrie quadruplets are the best friends of the Rallar triplets, who are the abandoned children of Fumi’s friend Rei Rallar.
During his childhood/early-teens, Flaz is the bully in the public school he attends. He acts very idiotic, and most of his peers ignore/avoid him because he is very loose with what he says. He is also VERY mean to Hoshiko Bargomer, a girl who lives in an apartment complex with her mother and brothers. Flaz enjoys teasing her and making her cry. (Flazzy does end up apologizing to Hoshiko, and they become good friends…. but that is WAY later.)
Flazzy hates learning and is often called dumb. His brother Frin, who is very smart, despises the Flaz and tries not to associate with him.
Flaz relates to the saying “laugh to keep the tears back”. He hates that he has no mother or father at home and that his family is a mess. He cries a lot during the night, and knits to comfort himself. He is confused about why Tsunami and Fumi left the quadruplets behind, and he fears that he is being abandoned.
When their friends (the Rallar triplets) decide they want to be warriors, Flaz quickly decides that he will join them (and his siblings too). Their hopes of becoming a warrior team are crushed when they find out that—in Burne—warrior team leaders have to have a warrior relative in their ancestral line. Neither the Rallars or the Sertitofries have this.
Eventually, after many issues and such, the quadruplets and the Rallar triplets become warriors, alongside Blaine Gretchen (who becomes leader because he has warrior family), Blair Jefferson, and Hoshiko Bargomer and her two brothers.
After going through the intense warrior training for a few of years, Flazzy’s personality changes, and he matures a bit.
While Flaz is in his late teenage years, Fumihiro and Tsunami come back to Extroit. Fumi fully recovered, and so the Sertitofrie parents are back for good. Tsunami calls for their sons and daughter to come back to the house, so Flazzy and his siblings visit their parents. Because they haven’t seen their parents for seventeen or eighteen years, it’s almost as though they are meeting them for the first time, and things are very awkward between the family members.
Anyhow, a few years later….
Flaz goes with his friends to the region/state of Frigglesfatt. There he meets the wild, extroverted shepherdess, Riley Dern. The two become friends, and Flazzy meets her family.
Flazzy and his friends go back to Burne after being in Frigglesfatt for a month. When they arrive back in Burne, Flaz finds out that Riley also has left Frigglesfatt, and is going to stay with her second-cousin, Kiley. Instead of letting the girl walk the hundred miles, Flazzy drives her to her cousin’s house. He also introduces her to his parents. After knowing each other for about a year, Riley falls in love with Flazzy, but he doesn’t really show any affection back and actually becomes annoyed with her.
However….
When Flaz is in his mid-thirties, he proposes to Riley, and the two get married. He has three children: Aubrey, Rav, and Kylie (no, she is not named after Riley’s second-cousin), and lives a long happy-ish life.
________________
Also…. (side note)….
Flazzy’s sister, Fir, also gets married around the same time as him. Her husband is Ayin Hattman, another warrior fellow. Fir and Ayin end up with one son, Ezra.
Flazzy’s brothers, Frin and Friz, die bachelors.
