I tried using my history lessons for these OCs because they're heavily inspired by the horror novels written by Risa Saraswati about 5 Dutch ghost children and horror stories about ghost friends and lovers

Description: Albert is the ghost of a deceased Dutch Boy who is one of Krista's childhood friends and is the oldest out of the Spirit Squad. Given that he's a ghost, only the "Special People" can see and communicate with him (i.e Indigo people and those with supernatural powers)
Background: Albert was born as a full-blooded Dutch resident residing in Indonesia ages ago, during the time where the Netherlands colonized Indonesia for over almost 4 centuries back. He was actually born in the mid 1920s (1926) in Indonesia but was about 18 at the time of his death. He died in the mid 1940s (1944) due to being killed by the Japanese soldiers during the Japanese colonization of Indonesia which started in March of 1942
Albert here was an only child in his family. His father was a famous violinist while his mother was a pianist back in his old, living days. However, he was constantly bullied as a child due to his personality but is patient with the entire bullying nonetheless, almost as if he's become used to it. His family lived in harmony once but it all changed when his father died due to a terminal illness when he was 10. This has changed Albert's life entirely. His mother starts becoming an alcoholic due to not being able to accept her husband's death, she also abuses Albert verbally whenever she's drunk, always calling him a useless child
Eventually, however, his grandmother stopped the abuse and took care of Albert instead, leaving his mother alone, waiting for her to get karma from abusing him for about 3 years. However, 2 years after Albert's grandmother saved him from his mother, his mother died due to drug overdose. 4 years later, his grandmother died due to age factor
Two weeks after his grandmother's death, Albert was suddenly captured by an army of Japanese soldiers during the time where Japan colonized Indonesia and was killed in their hands shortly after the capture
Personality: Albert appears to be a patient and an easygoing ghost, this is because he was constantly bullied and abused as a child. He really loves to play with kids and animals
He is often seen to be mature and responsible, as he is the one taking care of his younger ghost friends, making him the perfect leader. Although he is somewhat dressed differently than them, he is formal and polite, and the other members of the Spirit Squad views him as an older brother figure
Being Krista's friend, he cares a lot for her well-being and keeps her safe from danger, as if he's acting like her Guardian Angel
Albert has difficulty telling others hurtful things, as shown when he begs Krista not to tell Noah the bitter truth about one of his older sisters
