Harald Altermann II Blog Entry |

October 13, 2023, 4:00:28 AM 10/13/23: r/SketchDaily theme, "Birdtober: Potoo/Free Draw Friday." Drawlloween theme, Oct. 13: "Forest Of Fear." ... This week's character from my anthro WWII storyline is Hauptmann (Captain) Harald Altermann (the Second). He's a shiny new character who just popped up while I was writing Vischer's entry. Vischer tried to save his father and although he failed, Altermann feels he owes him a debt; turns out he has a pressing secret I haven't figured out yet. There's already some about him in Vischer's entry, but there'll be more about him later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se. Regarding his design, he started out light with dark, then I decided to flip this despite never seeing any rats with such a pattern. Artistic license. TUMBLR EDIT: Since Captain Altermann II's story is so closely tied to Vischer's, told HERE, I haven't gone into any further exploration of his past just yet. All I really know is what's been laid out in Vischer's story, that he followed in his late father's footsteps in joining the German army, and is intent upon paying back the debt he feels he and his father owe Vischer. It's indicated both that Altermann has his own, possibly separate debt that he feels he owes, and that the authorities are intensely interested in him for some reason, to the point of bugging Vischer's house--and preparing to kill him if need be--for reasons related to this; the implication is that Altermann has access to some sort of information that the authorities deem dangerous or compromising. Perhaps he (and his father?) knows/knew something incriminating about the military, or the government, itself. (Ooohhh an idea just seeped into my head. Don't know how feasible it is though, so I'll let it simmer for now. Hope I don't forget it in the meantime!) Whatever this is, even Altermann seems unaware of its exact importance (he mistakenly assumes the Wehrmacht is interested in Vischer, not him); the nature of this secret, and whether it's connected at all to Altermann's debt, has yet to be revealed to me. This is a plot detail that needs some more work; perhaps I'll know what it is by the time I get to creating his profile. In the meantime, a good portion of his story is included in Vischer's entry.
