alexander anderson's pose

A fighting pose taken by the character Alexander Anderson from Hellsing.

The most common variation of the pose involves Anderson holding his two weapons, a pair of dual wielded bayonets together by the flats of their blades in a shape resembling a crucifix. One arm is held up around the forehead, with the blade facing towards the ground, while the other arm is circled down and around to the opposite shoulder to hold the other blade horizontally as the flat part of the crucifix. The pose is usually framed in such a way that his arms and the bayonets form a box that frames his face or eyes.
