♟ "My name is Al Jamal Minhas."
♚ Al isn't particularly named after anyone. He was orphaned as a baby and never really had a name. He decided to make up a name for himself, when he heard people calling others by words he wasn't familiar with. In a market, he heard a mother call a son Jamal, and decided to make it his middle name, since the middle is the heart of the word. He wanted a mother to call him that, and that's all his heart desired. He read the word Minhas in a different market, called Minhas Bread. He took this name upon him because he liked the way it rolled off his tongue. Then he realized he needed a first name. He thought long and hard, but no words people shouted seem to fit. Then a girl accidentally walked up to him, saying Al, and realized it wasn't the Al she was looking for. Al decided this simple name was for him.

♟ "I am officially eighteen years old."
♚ Born and raised in the streets, Al never really remembered his birthday well. He only remembered the month, which was June. Unfortunately the day remained a mystery to him, so he decided to make his own decision, like he did for his name. Independence is quite a strong characteristic in Al, as shown in many examples. Al decided to make it the second, because his first name had two letters in it. Simple, yet he was still perfectly content with it.
ＧＥＮＤＥＲ
♟"Definitely a guy.."
♚ If one couldn't recognize Al as a male, he would be quite worried for their sight. He isn't exactly the most muscular of all the men, but he sure wouldn't think anyone would mistake him for a male anytime soon.
ＬＩＫＥＳ
♟"Running, animals, and food.
♚ Al is pretty simple with his likes. He loves to run, he loves animals, and he loves food. He has been running ever since he was on the streets, and is very skilled and fast. Al loves animals, since they were his only companion when he was in the streets. Dogs are his favorite. Food is self explanatory. Who doesn't like food?

ＤＩＳＬＩＫＥＳ
♟"Goody-two-shoes and snitches.
♚ Al has many things that can annoy him, but snitches win by a landslide. He believes that if something happened, and one saw it, then it should be only them that knows, not the whole world. Snitching just lands you in the wimps category, or the hated category in Al's mind. Snitches never survived on the streets, so they shouldn't even exist. Goody-two-shoes don't annoy Al as much, but he hates when someone kisses someone's shoes, just to get on their good side. Al believes that a person should work to get on their good side, instead of taking the easy way out.
ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬ
♟"Let me repeat, I'm an orphan."
♚ Al was never able to know his parents. That is close to the definition of an orphan, you know. He never had any lasting relationships on the street either, except one. He can't remember who - for some strange reason - but all he remembered was a beautiful girl...

ＯＵＴＳＩＤＥ
♟"I'm pretty average... KIDDING."
♚ On the outside Al doesn't look like anything special, just your run of the mill boy. He looks almost normal, brown skin, brown hair and brown eyes. That depends on exactly how he acts, because he can be charming. That’s because Al imagines himself as a very unique and attractive person, different from all the rest. Al prides himself in his unique, east-Indian appearance, an appearance that isn't usually dreamed of by girls. The main thing he is extremely proud on is his eyes. His eyes to him are deep and soulful saucers. filled with an enchanting chocolate brown color. The swirls of light cocoa just entice girls, or so he thinks. His second best physical characteristic is his hair. His thick, pitch black, straight hair seems plain, but has much more life than that. His hair is quite puffy and usually gives some extreme bounce to his hair, adding life. His hair is almost always wild, and slightly untamed. He can't exactly help it. Al isn't exactly proud of his body structure, but he isn't ashamed of it either. His body is the skinny type, not the bulked up muscle men you see on television shows. He does have muscles, like noticeable abs, but they aren't close to being so tightly cut as others.

ＩＮＳＩＤＥ
♟"I guess I'm nice."
♚ Al is actually a mellow guy, despite his violent past. He always puts on a show, being tough around his friends, but in reality he isn't that tough. He'd rather just lay back, and watch, then get in the fight. He doesn't mind being the center of attention though and likes the spotlight sometimes, especially when he is in the right mood. Then, other times, he'd just rather the spot light go away. He is especially a ladies man, and enjoys the company of a few girls. Al doesn't have much respect for people either, unless they earn it. That's what he learned on the streets and he will stick by street rules if his life depended on it. If he doesn't think you earn his respect, you don't get it. He would treat you like any other person, with no special regards. He is quite the jokester and trickster and he loves to come up with practical jokes to trick you with. Even though he is a good person, his dark side can come out too. He sometimes snaps very easy and becomes extremely irritable. It doesn't happen a lot, but when it does he always regrets what he says afterwards. His irritability can also become rage, if he is kept mad for a long amount of time. Most of the time he is enjoyable to be around and loves to enjoy the life that he has now.

ＰＡＳＴ
♟"I don't want to talk about it."
♚ Growing up, Al was born and raised on the wrong side of tracks. The streets along with a few good friends ultimately taught him the harshness of the real world and how to survive. He had seen everything: guns, drugs, even his friends dying. It was every man for himself out there. After the old leader left the gang Al stepped up and took over, at only 15 years old. Being a realist didn't exactly attract new members and once he was getting short, he needed some new bodies to get the jobs done. He took a while to get new kids, but finally his gang was successful and huge. After his recent drug hand off was raided, Al lost all of his members and he himself, was almost sentenced to jail time. Thankfully, his skills seemed to come in handy once more as he played the innocent card and he escaped. After he escaped, he realized that his life was a wreck. He ran away from his old life, even if he didn't know whether he would be able to escape it. He stayed like this for a year, lonely and depressed. Finally he had enough courage to visit a therapist, whom everyone called the Genie, since he worked miracles. As Al tried to completely recover, Genie suggested he visit Walt Town...
