He considers himself as a terrible cook, but his cakes were once praised by Radon, who has excellent culinary skills.
He has some resemblance to Masato Hijirikawa from the franchise Uta no Prince Sama
He's myopic and wears thick glasses, and he can only distinguish objects within 20cm.
Bio: Having an over-achieving musician brother who's 5 years senior to him, Germanium says he's always living within his shadow. He's a very hardworking and dedicated person who's attempting breaking through his boundaries. Year after year, he has developed some sort of inferior complex and often complains.
He's deeply petrified with his family and, sometimes the Hessian elements. Germanium often suffers from chronic insomnia due to long part time hours and studies, on average he only sleeps 4-5 hours daily. Avoiding getting scolded by his family about spending his pocket money, he secures his income via various part times. (Actually his family is pretty well-to-do and has no financial problems) On the other hand, he shows a deep zeal on electronics and circuit boards, and enjoying building computers. He sometimes help people fixing IT products and crafting customs PCs. He currently lives in the university dorms and occasionally, sleeping inside the clubhouse lounge after work.
Hassium, a close friend of the Gerstenberg family, discovers that their family actually put no pressure on him. Instead, it might be Germanium's own insecurities or his rather distant relationship between him and his eldest brother. Because of his over-exhausting schedule, he collapses often due to his snowballing sleep debts. With the supporting friends and mother's aid, how can Germanium cope over his illusions and live on a happier life and not ruining his own health?
The German kids are sitting on traditional delicacies like Baumkuchen, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte ( Black Forest cake) and cheesecake. Hassium adores all kinds of cheese, except mouldy cheese as he finds them gross. He should be in paradise inside one cheese workshop savouring from cream to smoked cheese. Cultural reference: Smoked cheese is very popular in the mountain areas in Slovakia and Poland. As Element 108 is Slovak (plus a quarter German), his childhood was rather bitter except growing up with smoked cheese. The finishing products are often intricately ornamented and resemble wood cravings. He has a soft spot on fermented dairy products like cheese and yoghurt. He's about clearing a table of cheesecakes and cheeses, and due to excess dairy intake he's currently the tallest among all kids at 196cm. And for the princess, the delicate Black Forest cake is the perfect match with her, and moreover she loves cherries and going to clear it within a blink xDD
All of the kids have their individual designs on their doilies and background patterns. Germanium has a circuit board design and abstract wave patterns, showing off his technical chic side. Hassium has plants with blossoms and berries around him, emphasising his background as growing up in rural areas. Finally Darmstadtium has a tiara pattern on her doily, and a lace background different from the German guys! Each of the element kids are very unique
