PHILOSOPHICAL MISANTHROPE
PHILOSOPHICAL MISANTHROPE
Alois Scholz does not like you. He doesn’t like your mom, he doesn’t like your dog, and he doesn’t like your mom’s dog. He isn't all bad, however - if one can swallow some of the acerbic remarks and prickly demeanor, Alois is a highly intelligent individual with deep philosophies regarding life, culture, and future of the species. He could tell you all about Nietzche and Nihilism while waiting for his laundry to finish, and give dissertations on Kafka's literary choices and how it reflects on his interpretations of humanity, but more than likely he'll just tell you to ******** off the first three times you talk to him.
Once past that point, you'll also be privy to a few inappropriate jokes, a boatload of dry humor, and some incredibly strange ideas of a good time on the town. Approach with discretion.
DONE WITH THIS.
Alois is frustrated.
It isn’t a simple frustration, either. His intolerable dissatisfaction isn’t due to a seven-year itch, or a dry spell in the income department, or a dearth of friends. It isn’t due to reaching a wall in his technical skill as a taxidermist. Truthfully, Alois can’t determine the cause of his frustration. Every time he believes he caught the source of his unrest, once he thinks he reached the perfect explanation for his predicament, that very frustration folds upon itself and that infallible reason no longer applies. Currently he’s beginning to think that he’s of a yearning personality type, one of those driven ones that never quite satiates itself with present endeavors, but even that doesn’t fit. And yet, what else could there be?
Alois doesn’t know, but he’s starting to act out from it. Sometimes destruction games and childish glee can take his mind off such perpetual irritants. Sometimes hurting others does just as well. Relief doesn’t last long, however, and Alois must continually feed the rot of stagnation if he wants to prevent it from growing.
WITH THE FLOOD WATERS COME THE CORPSES.
Alois' business depends on two key factors: patrons to supply the income, and dead bodies for the desired product. Sometimes, or often times lately, these customers drop by without a specific project in mind, without the corpse in hand, and browse his practiced wares to find the most artistic taxidermied animals that might please their hipster selves. Luckily for Alois, he finds the bodies he needs for such practices strewn nigh everywhere. A dead bird in the park, a dead squirrel behind a bush, a dead opossum outside someone's garbage can... Seemingly every time he needs one most.
Alois never questions it. The world is simply full of dead things.
ANYTHING ELSE?
- Alois looks like this. Crow black hair, green eyes, rocking a killer moontan.
Alois dropped out of college because, like anything, he hated it. He began his pursuit of the wonderfully solitary activities of taxidermy, found he was good at it, and pursued an entrepreneurship of it. Much to his chagrin, the business grew well enough that he now needs to hire a secretary/cashier/service b***h (as is listed on the hiring ad). So far, he hasn’t had any bites.
As a twenty-one-year-old from Germanyland, he lives in his own apartment that he pays for out of taxidermy profits. He normally does what is needed to satisfy the bills and have a few dollars left over, but if fancy strikes him, he will shut himself in and spend all hours on commissioned projects until he reaches his monetary goal. He will also do so in moments of particular mental duress. He lives alone, though he constantly grapples with the notion of a roommate to lessen the burden of bills. And, well, a roommate makes a very convenient opportunity for spoiling someone’s day. But what if they made fun of his accent, and ate his food, and didn't care what he thought about them? Choices...
Alois has a german shepherd that he takes for walks daily. It’s how Alois gets his outside-time and calcitriol quotient. Unfortunately for him, his dog is of an inquisitive, friendly temperament that’s more likely to investigate other humans than ignore them.
He might be a little lonely.
