THE|CHARACTER
[/b][/size][/font][/left]Dieck does not have the wire-y frame preferred for pilots, but he is still one of the best pilots on the AFSS Freiheit. He is tanned from his days on the farm, muscular from his commitment to his body, and tall from his Romanian heritage.
Dieck does not bother keeping his uniform clean, despite Ace's constant nitpicking. He often adds little accessories that remind him of his home on his uniform to make it different from Ace's. The one thing he makes sure is always different is his goggles. While most of the other pilots have circular goggles, he has rectangular ones
[/font][/ul]
* The AS. His plane--his beautiful plane-- is named AS. No one is sure if the AS stands for 'Ace Sucks' or 'Awesome Squared,' but most of the other pilots are sure that it stands for 'Ace Sucks.' He loves it with all of his heart and makes sure that it is always perfectly polished. This plane has never let him down before, but with the oncoming war, it might not come out in one piece.
* Farm Animals. Dieck has always been a lover of animals, but farm animals always his heart feel warm. Whenever Dieck is around a farm animal, he becomes kinder and snuggles the animal no matter how tall it is.
* Writing. Dieck has always been one to write poems and short stories, but he is very careful to make sure that no one else knows of his sensitive side. If someone does find out, he is sure to strongly deny it.
* Peace and Quiet. That means no Ace talking every single second of the day. Peace and quiet generally also means that there is no war to worry about.
* Being alone. When he is alone, he just thinks. And thinks. And thinks. He likes being alone with his thoughts because there is usually many problems he must think through,
* Justice. In Dieck's mind, he already has a set of rules that govern if something is right or wrong. The more problems he encounters that question his sense of justice, the more rules are added.
* Foreigners. Dieck enjoys educating foreigners on the ways of Bostonia, but he does not do it in a nice way. Although he loves to listen to them talk about where they are from, Dieck is much more interested in teaching them how things are in Bostonia.

* Water. He's always been afraid of water in general. If he knows that he is around an ocean or sea, he will immediately freeze up and panic.
* Flowers. Dieck just feels that they are a waste of time and space. he has learned how to efficiently use time and land when it comes to farming, but has yet to figure it out when it comes to his personal life.
* Chaos. When pretty much everyone is running around screaming for their lives, Dieck would be the one screaming at everyone to shut up and calm down. If he cannot be in charge during times of crisis, he will be huddled in a corner somewhere, telling himself that everything will be okay.
* The Cold. Dieck just can't stand being in the cold; it reminds him that he is not at home or anywhere that resembles home. When it is cold in the ship, he will bundle himself up in ridiculous amounts of clothing in order to keep himself warm.
*Using the Typewriter. Dieck feels that the typewriter they use is far too impractical and slow. If he is writing poetry, he cannot risk someone barging in and seeing what he is doing.
* Balloons. Dieck has hated how free they are from the moment he saw them. Well, they are free the moment they are let go, and Dieck has always been jealous that he could not also be up in the sky, just going where ever the wind took him.

When Dieck was around eight years old, a school house was built in the town nearby his farm. His parents thought it would be useful if their son was smart and could go off to do more things in the world, so every morning his father would take him to school before selling his crops at the market. Dieck was also excited to go to school because he wanted to learn more modern techniques to use on the farm.
At school, the teachers discovered that Dieck was a quick learner and very smart, so they bumped him up many levels. During his classes, Dieck developed a passion for literature and for a period of time would do nothing but write. He had originally agreed to come to school just to learn a bit about new techniques to use on the farm, but know the teachers were teaching him privately because he was so much more advanced than the other kids. His parents were extremely proud, but now when he talked with them, he could sense that they only talked about shallow subjects. He wanted to be able to talk to other people about knowledgeable things, but everyone around him was too stupid. Eventually, even the teachers could no longer teach him anything.
By the time he was ten, he had already graduated the school and was back his home and the farm, except it no longer felt like his home. He felt that everyone in his house was too stupid to be his family. He wanted to be able to talk to them about similar interest--he really did-- but none of them could follow what he was talking about.
He was never quite sure when he came to his conclusion, but he suspected it was around the time when he realized that he could no longer have a regular conversation with his parents. He had came to the conclusion that he was just a far superior than anyone else. He figured that the stupid people should be taught how to become smart, but he gave up after his father lectured him for 'spending too much time on brainiac nonsense' and told him to go plant the seeds.
At first, Dieck dramatically denied that he was superior, but it would be like two sides arguing against each other, except one of the sides doesn't really believe in its cause and was actually just fishing for compliments. When he ultimately came to terms with himself, he would no longer hold back and just look down on others and try to calculate how much stupider they were compared to him.

Dieck is quick to judge and slow to change his mind. Though, his judgement is usually fairly accurate. He is stubborn to a fault and incredibly prideful. If a man were to punch him during a fight, even if Dieck had nothing to do with what was going on and the man who punched him was piss-drunk, he would beat the man into a bloody pulp. He is not one to let go of something that has happened if it had affected him in a positive way and will bring it up many times just to rub it in someones face, but if someone were to do the same to him, he would immediately become agitated and yell at the person.
When it comes to competitions, Dieck is not that much of a sore loser, however he will stay locked up in his room until he has figured out why he lost. Immediately following his loss, Dieck will not use excuses as to why he had lost, but instead walk calmly to his room and collapse once the door was locked. Once he comes out of his room, Dieck just resumes his regular schedule as if nothing had happened.
Dieck is generally serious, but when he is drinking he becomes very fun-loving and happy. He's very hard-working, but he does not like showing off and will deny it if someone points out that he always tries his best. Despite his superiority complex, he is very afraid of becoming one of the regular people. He feels that if people know that he actually works hard, they would not think that he was amazing.
He is strong-willed and will do anything for justice. There has never really been any significant event in his life that has made him believe in justice so much; he just does. He has never known any different because his parents believed in justice more than anything. He is not one to back down from a competition, and he will never half-ass anything.
When Dieck is around someone he despises, he will do nothing but ridicule and humiliate the person. He will use the most minuscule details to berate them. He seems to have an astounding memory for things that would embarrass others. He does not even need to be provoked, he will just start nonchalantly putting the person he hates down. Though, if Dieck were to like someone in a more than friends way, he would pick on them like a little child because he lacks experience in the area of love. It would be hard telling whether or not Dieck likes someone or hates them because of his attitude. When he does love someone, his mind would be clouded with thoughts of them and it would be very hard for him to concentrate on anything else.

Dieck was annoyed. More than annoyed, actually. He was frustrated. It should have been a simple game of chess, but now it had become a competition of honor, and his was on the line. He should have known better than to agree to a game of chess with Ace of all people, but he couldn't turn down a chance to beat the pompous little bastard at something.
And now he was cornered. His queen was about to be taken by a lowly pawn and there was nothing he could do about it. He was careful not to show his frustration on his face, otherwise his opponent would immediately make some snide remark that would cause him to not think and do something stupid. He didn't think that Ace would be good at a sophisticated game like chess, but apparently it was just another one of his many talents. I used to be the best at this game, and now he's gone and stolen that as well, Dieck grimaced. There was only a very slim chance that he would be able to turn the game around and win, but that would require Ace to make a very, very stupid move.
Ace leaned back and folded his hands together. Dieck could just tell that Ace was thinking about how much fun he'll have holding this loss over Dieck's head. Before they started playing, Dieck was sure that he would be able to beat Ace, but then the little ass took his bishop within the first 2 rounds. I should already know by now to never ever look down on Ace. It's just... it's so easy to. He acts like a dumb ass practically all of the time, Dieck scolded himself. But there was nothing he could change now. He was in the middle of a competition against Ace and he would not let himself lose. He needed a plan. He needed to exploit one of Ace's weaknesses.
And he knew just how to do it.
"Oh, waitress!" Dieck called, signaling specifically for the well-endowed waitress to come over. "My friend here needs a refill." He motioned for her to lean over the table to fill Ace's cup, thereby presenting her very ample bosom to Ace. Dieck knew there would be no way Ace could resist the staring; hell, even he was trying to sneak a peek himself, but he knew that he had to concentrate so he would not make another careless mistake.
"Oh, so now I'm your fri--" Ace stopped mid-sentence and shamelessly gawked at the waitress's chest. While Ace was staring, Dieck reminded him that he only had a limited time to make his move. Ace just nodded dumbly in response and moved his king into check. Dieck was not enough of a good sportsman to tell Ace that he had made a fatal mistake, but instead swiftly took Ace's king with his queen. When the waitress finally left, Ace looked down at the board to see what had happened. "Wh-what...? How did you...? I don't even..."
Dieck shrugged in response, "I guess if you spend too much time ogling waitresses, then you're bound to make some mistakes." Ace stared at Dieck dumbly, as if he still has not processed what just happened.
Ace started sputtering nonsensical words again. "B-but... I... What?" He looked back down at the chess board, not able to accept the fact that Dieck had, for once, beaten him at something.
Dieck simply smirked at his superior, proud that his plan had actually worked. "I think I'm going to go tell the whole ship that I, Dieck Roos, am officially the master of chess." He walked off, leaving Ace to pay for the bill.
He could still hear the idiot talking to himself when he exited the bar.
