MLS Character Reference: Bernhard Stadler

12/52 #1page1week #1p1w, and I actually didn't want this ref to be included in the pack of works for the challenge, originally. Kind of, I started the challenge with traditional works all sharing a story, and I wanted to keep this format so that in the end of the challenge the pack would look holistical. Plus I believe that my digital is awfully primitive compared to my traditional, and the only thing that deserves respect in this piece is the amount of work done in general. But that's all. I have a feeling that I've lowered the hurdle with this. While the idea of the challenge is to improve.
In fact, this week I hoped to do two pieces, this ref and a picture for 1p1w (that's not counting the headshot already submitted for the flashmob). But it happened that I faced some problems with electricity in my apartment that had to be solved as soon as possible, or there was a risk of fire. This took my focus for several days and deprived me from work, so I managed to finish only what was already half-done, the ref.
Awhile back I had asked the admins if such refs could be used for the challenge, just in case, and they had convinced me that because of detail and general complexity it could indeed, 'no problem'. But still I preferred to avoid this to the last. Believe me, if I do a ref within the challenge again, it's kind of the last resort.

Hell, but I actually can't believe that this ref is finally done. I think that now my work on refs for MLS characters is going to become easier, as this one was the hardest due to the character's position and his awards and decorations. The research took me a lot of time. But it's done finally! There's a lot of interesting stuff to share about this big guy, so let's read it now~

Character's personality:
- ISTJ (Maxim Gorky);
- intelligent, well-mannered and able to control himself, but irritable, and terrible when angry;
- hypocritical, intolerant, arrogant, proud, ambitious, possessive and selfish;
- superbly manipulates the opponent, doesn't accept disobedience;
- perfectionist;
- strategist;
- skeptical, sly, resolute, prudent, can be cruel, capable of meanness;
- in fact rather vulnerable, he isn't devoid of a few complexes and isn't as insensitive as it may seem.

* Explanations
*In the beginning of the story he appears as an important figure having the SS-obergruppenführer (general) rank, but somewhere in the story he's supposed to take the place of the murdered SS-Reichsführer, getting the highest rank of the SS, to start the Ragnarök thing!!!11. For this reason, in the ref he's shown in both variants of uniform.
