Description
Pictured right, August Weber in St. Denis, July 1903.
A lean man with whitish hair and a whitish goatee, combining a waxed moustache and facial hair on the chin. August is of a somewhat athletic, though perhaps thinner, build, with a rather toned physique.
Usually donning a simple white every day shirt with the collars slung open and sleeved rolled back; brown regular pants; polished but slightly wearing roper boots. A pair of beige suspenders wrapping up and around from his waist to his shoulders. A simple black homburg and matching black shotgun coat are usually thrown over the top to complete his look. The gunbelt that hangs around his waist is fairly unremarkable, matching the condition of his boots: wearing out, but polished and cared for.
A pair of glasses are commonly seen emerging from his breast pocket whenever he has to write or read.
Just past the whitish moustache on the left side of his face, a narrow, streaking scar can be spotted. The scar itself is in a simple, straight line, as if done by a blade of some kind.
Early Life
Present Life
Nowadays, August lives a pretty quiet life within St. Denis. A fact that August finds funny in an ironic sense. Being that the highlight of his career was, according to him, "Das französische Kraftpaket in die Knie zwingen".
Now, he lives in a largely French speaking city.
When not snickering at the irony of it all, August now busies himself in various ways. Working within the train yards of St. Denis; taking long walks around the city at midday; sometimes going for rides on his Liver Chestnut Hungarian Half-Bred "Königsberg", who August affectionately refers to as "Konnie", through the Lemoyne Countryside of Scarlett Meadows and up towards the expanse of the Heartlands. When he is not busying himself with all this, August can normally be found dwelling in apartment two of a small black of flats on St. Nicholas Street, St. Denis, between Rue De La Diligent and Courtenay Street.
Normally, he can be spied smoking cigarettes or reading books while drinking coffee out on the balcony of his apartment. Sometimes, when the shutters are open, he can be seen shadow boxing and, very rarely, seen practicing fencing.
Affiliations
Frontier Railway Company
(Active: May 1903 - )
Largely working as one of the train engineers for Frontier Railway Company, and sometimes doubling up as a train conductor, August's role as a member of the staff at Frontier Railway Company is largely unremarkable. Having a no-nonsense attitude to people loitering on the tracks and those wanting to use the bridges across the state to cross on anything other than the steel beasts Frontier Railway Company whips across New Alexandria, August's appreciation for the Frontier Railway Company's fleet is immense.
In a way, driving these hulking steel stallions across New Alexandria gives August a sense of purpose again, and perhaps instils in him a sense of pride that has long since eroded.
