Alber, commonly translated to “Fool” or “Fool’s Guard” in English, also known as Porta di Ferro (“Iron Gate”) in Italian traditions, is a sword fighting stance/guard common across various traditions of European longswordsmanship. The German name (and most common English name) is thought to come from how it looks open, but is actually in a prime position to counter. It is equivalent to Gedan-no-kamae (“lower stance”) in Japanese swordsmanship. Despite all data being of two-handed, the LoRA is surprisingly competent at producing the one-handed equivalent.

Trigger: alber_guard
Support: fighting stance, sword, two-handed sword, holding weapon, weapon, full body, from side, facing viewer
Not sure if will help, but trained with: Right foot forward, left foot forward, from left, from right, longsword, bokken, federschwert (it’s a type of blunt practice sword, only use one sword type in positive)
Negative: Photo (medium), realistic, helmet, fencing mask (PDXL didn't actually recognize this on its own and I doubt ILXL does, so it will just be a bad clothing LoRA for the mask if you try it as a positive), any sword type not in use

Forced trigger first, cleaned up some tags applied multiple times, I'm curious how much better this will be for Illustrious than Pony given the base model's superior strength at held objects.
