Albert

Albert is a resident of Portia that the player can befriend and eventually marry.

ProfileEdit

Personal summaryEdit

Albert is an extroverted ladies man with some notoriety before the player even arrives but, on the inside, he has some insecurities. He is also a very competent businessman who is very involved in the expansion of Portia's infrastructure.

Albert was not born in Portia, but moved after Gust proposed setting up a construction business. Thus, the A&G Construction (Albert & Gust Construction) company was born, located right next to the Commerce Guild. Albert specializes in the construction and management aspects of the company. He is adept at liaising with others in the industry and is often Mayor Gale's go-to man to coordinate collaborative projects.

Albert likes to try his luck with women and is always asking one person or another to go out with him. His interests include his best friend's sister, Ginger, the doctor's assistant Phyllis, and the restaurant waitress Sonia.

Physical appearanceEdit

He has fair skin and blue eyes. He has very dark brown/black hair trimmed and parted on the left with a loose strand hanging near his parting. He chooses to keep clean-shaven in keeping with his slick businessman persona with the exception of his sideburns which he keeps thick but well groomed. He wears a white dress shirt with light brown trousers with a matching belt. His smart gray pointed tipped shoes match his waistcoat adorned with silver buttons perfectly which he uses to keep fastened at all times. He finishes his look with a scarlet neck-chief that proudly completes his ensemble.

Related charactersEdit

Albert doesn't have family in Portia, but he is close with Gust, his Friend and business partner at A&G Construction. He isn't in a committed relationship, but he does seem interested in women, particularly Ginger, who is Gust's sister.

When befriending Albert, his relationship network with other NPCs will also be affected, resulting in the player receiving favor points from those NPCs as well. Note: Ginger is not a part of Albert's relationship network.

ScheduleEdit

Albert is often found near his desk in A&G Contrstuction during business hours, and can sometimes be found in The Round Table _[ verify ] after work.

At the end of the day, he goes to his home, which is hidden around the back of Presley's home. His home is open from 7:00 AM to 21:00 PM.

RelationshipEdit

Albert is one of the potential bachelors that the player can romance.

Upon reaching Friend status at four full hearts, the player can confess their love to him with a Heart Knot. If the confession is successful, his relationship status changes to Boyfriend. After Albert has become the player's boyfriend, upon reaching Lover status at eight full hearts, the player can then propose to him with a Wedding Ring. If the proposal is successful, his relationship status changes to Husband. Once certain other conditions have been met, Albert and the player can then try for children.

Additionally, upon meeting certain relationship levels, perks are rewarded.

DesiresEdit

The following items are desires, or wishes, which are randomly assigned to one or two characters per week. The player is required to be at least at Associate level with Albert for him to be assigned a desire. More desires have a chance to appear as the player's friendship with Albert progresses; the new desires are added to the existing ones but do not replace them. Some characters may desire an item that they do not normally like.

In the event that Albert has a desire, gifting the wanted item will provide the higher tier points; otherwise, on non-desired events, the item gives the base point value. The birthday or festival day relationship bonus applies when gifting a desired item.

The Pot of Asteria will appear on a bedside table inside Albert's house if Albert receives it when desired. If given the Golden Necklace as a desire, he will wear it for a while.

Desires

Associate	⁠⁠Pot of Asteria (+15) ⁠⁠Spicy Fish Soup (+15)
Friend	⁠⁠Golden Necklace (+20)

Albert can spar with the player up to three times per day.
