Summary

Alm is an idealistic youth hailing from Ram Village under the care of his grandfather, Mycen. As he grew older, he became frustrated with his grandfather's attempts to keep him in the village, later running off to join the Zofian Deliverance along with his best friends, Gray and Tobin to protect his fellows from brigands and liberate Zofia from Chancellor Desaix's control. Throughout his adventures, he discovered that he was not a mere Zofian as he once thought, but was, in fact, the crown prince of Rigel, Albein Alm Rudolf, who possessed the royal blood of the Divine Dragon Duma.

Intelligence:

• Kid Alm
• Fighter
• Hero/Conqueror

• General
• Combat

Average (Should at least be as smart as a regular human kid.)

Above Average (Even during his childhood Alm was already training with Mycen. He can wield a sword and somewhat keep up against mounted knights.)

• General
• Combat

Gifted (Alm has been trained since he was a boy and got tutelage in many discipline like military tactics, medecine, weather, terrain and more. He is a good general and after joining the Deliverance army, the latter that was outmatched and fast loosing the war began to collect more and more victories without suffering any major defeat, eventually taking back Zofia Castle from the chansellor Desaix and defeating the Rigelian Empire.)

Gifted (Alm kept training since his childhood and is now an incredible fighter that has come a long way from when he fought Slayde and his men with Mycen and his friends. Helped with only at most four of his friends, a cleric and Lukas a soldier from the Deliverance Army, he managed to take back the Southern Outpost, a fortress defended by trained royal soldiers who previously managed to defeat the Deliverance army and force them to retreat. The Deliverance also possess incredible fighters such as Clive who is Zofia's finest knight save for Mathilda and Mycen. At the beginning of Act 3, Alm fought against Berkut and Fernand simultaniously and won even though just a few days ago, he could barely keep up with Berkut alone, the gap between the two being so big that Alm, his companions and the Deliverance army barely managed to push him back even though he was just helped by Fernand and a regular soldier.)

• General
• Combat

Gifted (He is generally more experienced than before.)

Gifted (More experienced than before. Fought and defeated Berkut once more even after the latter was powered up by Duma's power. He ventured in the Rigelian treasure vault on his own and defeated the many terrors there was on his path (Gargoyles, Garudas, Arcanist, Undeads, Lichs, Necrodragons and White Dragons). After receiving the Falchion, Alm battled and defeat the fell god Duma. Along with 9 of his companions, Alm explored the Labyrinth of Thabes and faced its dangers, which proved to be fatal to any soldier sent by the senate who then had to seal the dungeon as a last ressort, eventually battling and defeating the Creation at its deepest level.)

Weaknesses: Alm can be overly idealistic and attached to the ones he holds dearest, a trait that can be used to manipulate him. Most combat arts cost HP and damage Alm when he use them.
