Alex Powers

Alexander Solomon, the son of Amanda and the first Alexander Solomon, (who referred to himself as Solomon), was raised by a combination of help from his parents, grandmother and, well, a wolf so close some can consider him family. Alexander is the son of the Empress of Hera, though he hardly lets that be known, apart from his occassionally stuck-up attitude, Alexander hardly hides his heritage, but the mere fact that he refers to himself by his first name is enough to throw off most that could link him to the Solomon bloodline. Trained by all of these people, Alexander, despite his young age, is a force to be reckoned with.

## Appearance

A well-built, masculine young man, Alexander has shining blond hair that cover his face forming golden bangs, with a unique trait of purple eyes. He lacks a useless joint in his foot, something weird for most people, but the knowledgable will know what it is an indication of. Being far more developed in the muscular sense than most children his age, Alex's build is somewhat intimidating, even to older people.

## *Personailty*

Much like his mother before him, the Prince of Hera tends to be unnaturally quiet on normal occassions, and whether this is due to some sort or form of social ineptness or simply his dislike for extended conversation is still up in the air, even amongst his closest friends. Usually portraying himself as an emotionless, cold- bastard who only becomes incredibly excited during activities that are greatly of interest to him, (such as the exploration of new locations and the hunting and consumption of food in general), Alexander's personality is quite a bit more complex that he lets on, befitting of his Nen category as a Transmuter. Whilst Alexander is thought to be, even by his friends, someone who seemingly cares about nothing, this has been disproven time after time, as he has actually allowed himself to enjoy his time with Astrea, going spear-fishing and searching for strange things or creatures ever so often, in the past, most commonly with Virgo. Despite maturing, this portion of his personality still remains within him, and occassionally he may outburst in shouts of passion and joy that seem uncharacteristic of his cold, hidden facade.

His issues lie not in the fact that he is psychotic, or deranged, or even possesses mental issues, but that he has an incredibly hard time expressing emotions other than curiousity, intrigue, excitement and gratitude (for particular things) and anger, due in part to an overwhelming cynicism. While Alexander more than displays his brotherly love for Caranus in the form of their tough-love relationship, the entire reason for it being so tough in nature is mainly because both of them refuse to show traditional brotherly affection for each other. It is not that he lacks the capacity to care, or show concern, as Alexander has completely incapacitated opponents out of concern for those around him, but rather finds it difficult to show this in the same, more trivial manners that most do. Behind his tough exterior, Alexander is a simply an individual who likes exploring, eating, and his friends, and wishes to preserve these three things, justifiying his actions, for example, leaving an opponent's body completely unresponsive, on this self covenant. Regardless of if others think what he does is right or wrong, Alexander has and will continue to do what he deems as right. Those who attempt to defile the purity of anyone of his three pillars earns his wrath, and especially in the case of those close to him, Alexander has gone so far as to activate Beserk out of sheer rage. He is known for possessing a very dry humour and sarcastic, witty tongue when it actually leaves its cave, often teasing or irking those around him on accident.Alexander has also shown himself to be a closeted nerd, at times stating things that are incredibly complicated and deep that it would appear to have no correlation to the topic of a conversation, though, he is also often cut off before he finishes such statements.

Inspired by certain members of Eos, Alexander often subjects himself to incredibly rigorous training alone at nights with Rayme, usually enjoying the solitude and falling asleep on Rayme's deck. Like all members of Astrea, Alexander is incredibly defensive of Rayme being called simply a ship, and is the reason why instead of saying the deck of the ship, Rayme's deck was said in the previous sentence.  Due to his silence, Alexander is also often considered hard to approach, and it is not impossible that he can be taken by surprise if one were to suddenly come up to him, and while many might assume that his quietness meant that he had a hard time with affairs of the heart, one would only be *technically*right. While Alexander has in fact has involved himself in the act of intercourse, Alexander has not truly developed any strong emotional feelings for any of them, and this is known to be, by Caranus and him solely, a defensive mechanism Alexander placed due to his insecurity about his emotional ineptness. This mechanism also helps him to move on much faster should the situation between him and the female in question go awry, having no real attachments apart from the carnal to begin with. He has never been *seen* flirting but due to his constant affairs one would assume that he is capable of doing so.

Alexander lacks the belief in the innate goodness of any given individual, believing that all other persons have ulterior motives for every activity, and as a result, finds it hard to trust strangers in the least. However, if one explains oneself adequately, he shows no problem with associating with them. Alexander has been one of the only individuals in the original members of Astrea (consisting of the children of Olympus plus Robyn and Tarianna) to have never opened up or have his background too heavily revealed, with all that was truly known being that at a young age, he killed three grown men after activating Berserk. This difficulty to demonstrate his emotions properly however, does not affect his confidence in the least, as it has not stopped from truly achieving any of his desired goals.

## Backstory

*Tis a clusterfuck that needs to be edited, read at your own horror.*

Sometime after the final action Eos took together as a group, Amanda, the then Empress of Hera, and Solomon, the King, hunted down the vampire who turned the latter. Quickly overpowering her in a manner that was much like the way she originally defeated Solomon, for the first time in over a century, Solomon and Amanda had reverted to humanity, bringing Romulus and Lea, Amanda's mother, along for the ride. After a century's worth of vampirism, it was hard getting into a human body, but they managed anyhow.

Finally cementing their vows, the two were officially husband and wife. Reliving their century-old honeymoon, Amanda would decide that with this new development, the two could finally have a child. Though three years before Solomon would have gotten punched halfway across Ass'Hai for making a statement like that, Amanda and Solomon settled down, siring a heir. A blonde haired male baby, born with a terrifying smile (vampiric remnants), before reverting to the soft smile of a regular baby.

As the Prince of Hera, Alexander was born into a world of royalty and nobility. However, his parents did their best to ensure that Alexander did not grow up to be a spoilt child, having him be treated more like a regular child around them. Alexandeer was raised by the combined efforts of Solomon, Amanda, Lea, and even Romulus. Being treated with the utmost of care by his parents, he was given the chance to engage in many activities.

This did not stop Alexander from developing an air of royalty anyways, allowing him to become a very laid-back type of person. Whenever Alexander was not in the palace, he was in a forest, relaxing with Romulus. Romulus, noticing the smell of both of his masters on the child, immediately deducted that he was their child. Taking him in with the other cubs, Alexander was trained to become a full-fledged Dire Wolf cub. At the age of 5, Alexander was already completely accustomed to the behavioural traits of wolves, in fact having such an affinity that he started accepting Romulus as his uncle. At this point, Alexander was actually able to understand the sounds of the wolves as if naturally spoken language.

Returning back to the palace again, not even noticing he had spent an extended period of time there, he found his mother and father waiting for him at the door of the Palace, his grandmother suddenly appearing behind him. After being scolded about leaving the Palace without their permission, Alexander was allowed to visit more regularly, though education became a priority from now on. Alexander was tutored by many, and was taught in general to utilize his mind strategically.

During the nighttime, Alexander was forced to repeatedly train with both his mother and father, Solomon teaching the child how to utilize his speed and Amanda, his strength. Training with weights deemed inappropriate for his age, and even taught to carry heavy logs up an extremely steep hill upstream, Alexander would slowly become the beast he currently is. Eventually, Alexander stopped seeing training as stressful, and more of an enjoyable activity. Continuously training his physical attributes, Alexander would often get into playfights with his father, the less busy of the two, measuring how fast he made his father go as a mark of achievement.

Alexander soon gained a reputation for never ceasing to train until he was too exhausted to move or think properly (i.e a state of unconciousness). At the age of 8, Alexander started walking around Hera, playing with the children of comonners and generally helping out citizen, a task he was given by his father to help with his humility.

### The Birth of a Berserker

Alexander, an eight year old boy, would go to meet Romulus and his cubs, only to learn that Romulus was out looking for food. Alexander would play with the cubs as the night fell, the moon emerging from the side of the sky.

Suddenly, Alexander heard a whimper, as a cub cried out in agony. Turning to face the cub, Alexander noticed a slender silhouette. As his eyes slowly widened, he noticed there were several, slender silhouettes, each with what seemed to be the outlines of weaponry. Easily noticing their bloodlust, Alexander confronted them. Shoving Alexander out of the way and kicking a cub, Alexander released a fury of attacks, grabbing the arm of one of the silhouettes and throwing them into a nearby tree, before dropkicking another, a crack being sounded, as an aura over took his arm, though Alexander was completely unaware of his usage of such an ability. His strength itself became, "enhanced".

The silhouettes, knowing the trouble they were in, made the motion to stab an unaware cub. Alex felt something snap within him, as a red aura started emitting itself from his body. The ability of the Kingdom. Berserk, had just been awakened. Hitting a silhouette forcefully under the chin, one could clearly hear the crack of a skull. The fractured skull was given no time to heal, as it received a bone-shattering kick in the direction of another two.

Grabbing the one that remained, Alexander held him by his neck up into the sky, before cracking it. As the source of hostility was removed, Alexander calmed down, albeit slowly, understanding that he had just made his first kill. Returning back to the Palace, after telling his mother about what had happened, Alexander was sent to the Occupation Academy to be trained as a Hunter, (and by extension, a warrior of Hera).

After completing his training at the Academy, Alexander developed his very own original Hatsu technique, and simply continued his new daily routine: Training with his parents/Playing (Training with Romulus)/Developing his Nen/Education/Warrior Training/Humility Course. The child, now 12 years old, was now ready for whatever would happen next. Or atleast, so he thought

### *Four Month Timeskip (Second Timeskip)*

#### *Journey to Gourmet Enlightenment*

After the last event prior to this timeskip, Alexander would once more leave the vicinity of the group as well as leave from the overlooming presence of the Conqueror Akashi and the Red Empire, back into the territory of the Conqueror Kreed, and his Saints, a figure with particular importance to the group, Astrea, due to the war claiming the life of their de facto leader and former captain, Viserys. While Olympus was close by, the area was said to be "overrun" by Kreed's army, but, however, Alexander needed to have a place to train somewhere else. While the Red Empire was splendid for training in the arts of magic, perhaps just under the South in training worth, Alexander used no magic, and possessed a "mythical" physiology from the special existences referred to as Gourmet Cells. These Gourmet Cells required special sustenance, and special training to improve in strength, and nowhere else in the world seemed to be as good as the Storm Islands, within the Easternregion, the Land of Spring. Upon entering vernal waters, Alexander immediately got to tracking down his targets, the anonymous mentors of Bishokuya and Pirate occupations. The Storm Islands had the greatest level of ecological diversity known to Alexander, enough to facilitate the training of a Bishokuya, and if there was anywhere he could go to get stronger it would be there.

Having gotten a good whiff of their individual scents since he was a mere twelve year old lad, Alexander and Caranus did not take much time to actually find these mentors, men who seemed not to care about political afflilations and other such ties as long as they were actually paid, something which their late captain had, quite characteristically, forgotten to do. Changing their identities, Alexander claimed to be a wandering traveller who went by the name Michael, with Caranus doing nothing of the sort and simply pretending to be a lost Battle Wolf. While the mentor of the of the Bishokuya  occupation were more than well-versed enough in their respective occupations to notice that Alexander was quite familiar, Alexander's constant state of In had even those incapable of sensing the presence of Nen confused as to what was actually going on. The young prince explained that what he wished to train in was the Shinobi occupation originally, however, the true basis of his power was his power as a Bishokuya, asking the master of this occupation for some manner in which he could strengthen himself. Being carried to yet another individual who seemed to be casually kicking off of the air, Alexander instantly recognized the occupation as that of the Pirate occupation. Confused as to why he was brought to the Pirate in general, Alexander was told that the allocated time for his training and his rare scenario allowed them to try out an experiment they wished to test for quite some time, and also offered to train Caranus. The Bishokuya master acted as if he actually knew Caranus quite well, which the duo found quite strange, but simply dismissed. The young princes, one of Olympus and the other of 1/8th of the entire animal Kingdom, while carrying quite a bit of money with them, was surprised that even the money they took was not quite enough.

Alexander and Caranus eventually had to agree to a *special*favour of the duo, a favour which would also prove beneficial to Alexander himself. While this all happened within the same day, Alexander and Caranus were led to a village in the centre of the Storm Islands, appearing to be a small traditional Japanese village complete with a shrine and sakura blossoms which seemed completely out of place for the particular region. The village was concealed of course, but required some sort of process to enter, judging by what his mentors did, with him simply following. Brought into the village, Alexander was told that this would be his residence for his period of training, and was introduced to the families in the village, as well as the family he would be staying with, seemingly that of the village priest. As if in some world of anime, Alexander would find himself interacting with what was a miko, or shrine maiden, the daughter of the village's priest, and by nature, a Shaman, with his own quiet yet energetic nature contrasting greatly her own talkative yet more calm nature, it was not much of a surprise that sparks would fly.

After his *conversations with the family*he was staying at, he began his training immediately. Alexander was forced to meditate on constantly feeling the flow of each of his individual senses, with intense breathing exercises having to be followed in each individual moment. However, if this was all Alexander actually had to do, this would not have been nearly as difficult. The Bishokuya mentor, having been told what technique Alexander was to learn, took Alexander through means of Back Channels to several different biospheres on the Storm Islands, while simultaneously restricting him from the utilization of Haoshoku Haki or his ability to empathize with animals (with the exception of Caranus, who technically also counts as human anyways). Being forced to stay under this meditative trance and specific breathing exercises, Alexander was forced to endure all manners of temperatures, altitudes, and other such environmental extremities, once even being placed within a swarm of carnivourous insects, armed with only his Instinct and physical/biological abilities, Alexander concealing his Nen due to it's inherent link to individuality (in a sense training his control over his aura). Without his breathing rate  going up or down even inifinitesimally, Alexander began to feel a slight, tingling sensation, as this routine became increasingly more natural. With Caranus on his own, individual training, Caranus only returned to Alexander to prepare his meals for him, Alexander noticing they were remarkably more flavourful than ever before. Training in Food Immersion prior, Alexander even stacked the added level of difficulty of that type of training upon his own.

Every now and then, Alexander would be placed in a situation *a bit*longer than usual. After the first entire month of this, Alexander would begin to feel like he could will his hairs to roll up and down his body almost subconsciously, forcing them to go flat or shootup depending on the temperature around him, even if they didn't do so immediately. Attempting to do the same with his arm, Alexander could feel his muscles contract to a level he had never felt prior, and upon doing this in combat while consciously utilizing Instinct, Alexander found his hunt incredibly easier. But the longer Alexander did this for, the hungrier he seemed to become, even considering the fact that he was a master of Food Immersion as a result of the constantly shifting environments forcing his body to expend excess energy to cope and enable him to survive, as well as his constant use of In and dangerous battles.

However, the only reason Alexander was thought to be capable of learning this technique, the technique he desired to learn so quickly, is because of his body's unmatched adaptive capabiltiies, a level of prowess granted to him only through the use of his Gourmet Cells. In the world of Requiem, there are many who are capable of pulling of such a feat, but none of the original universes possess the truly boundless possiblity wrapped up within the occupation of piracy, the technique that involves one following the way of a Sennin and becoming a master of **Life Return**. With their hardly being any masters of this art, the mentor included, Alexander was to learn an incredibly rare art, or die trying. Being placed once more in a frozen tundra, Alexander would notice that almost automatically, his body would vibrate with immense kinetic and thermal energy radiating from the very core of his body, Shivering. The first stage of the tests complete, Alexander would then be placed to fight what would appear to be a Tundra Dragon, with no preparation, outside of it's natural habitat. Due to the environment itself not being cold, Alexander's new found natural adaptation did not yet kick in, until in a surprising turn of events, Alexander forced it to. The soil bubbling up and liqueifying under his body heat as well as melting the ice, Alexander took down the dragon in several punches of pure heat amalgamted with unbridled physicality. The test, Alexander, or perhaps, the one who goes by Michael, was a success. Suddenly pulling him out of the technique, Alexander was the first student of both mentors to *actively induce the effects of Life Return on their **Gourmet Cells***, pulling out these adaptations at will. This experiment had to be seen through.

Alexander was then tutored in specific applications of his new found power, as well as how to reinduce these effects on his Gourmet Cells continuously, being shown how to lengthen his nails, but his newest ability, the power to eat seemingly all things. Bestowed the epithet, "***Hypervore***", Alexander learned quickly the digestive manipulation based techniques afforded to him by Life Return, the time alotted to him for training being quite a bit longer than the usual four month period that they take for full extensive training, allowing him to increase the evolutionary stage and rate of his cells. Through constant consumption, his cells grew increasingly power, while simultaneously more, instead of less under his control, due to the amazing powers bestowed upon him through Life Return. Alexander's ability would only continue to flourish, as he began to adapt to each environment he was placed under and recall these abilities at will. Having pretty much mastered both occupations, Alexander was merely beginning to add his finishing touches on his abilities within the Bishokuya department, polishing what would seem to be basic and ordinary abilities into truly powerful manifestations of his actual power.

*"All things are ingredients, and all things must be appreciated. Thought the flavour and energy the savouriness, the lack of thought and energy is a new flavour thereof. One cannot call themselves a true connoisseur unless one can eat all things without problem."*Beginning his journey to what his mentor referred to as Food Enlightenment, Alexander began to become capable of scarfing down even inanimate objects, metal being broken down and reconstituted within his body to form iron deposits and facilitate the immense amount of haemoglobin required to maximize all the oxygen he intakes, though as he continued to progress at about the third month, even that became child's play, his cells respiring and acting as gas exchange surfaces independently, allowing him to maintain an oxygenated body even if his blood should somehow become deoxygenated...*in theory.* Referring to this as his Food Awakening, Alexander would then meditate for the remainder of the third month after consuming an incredible amount of food in a single week, attempting to find his inner ingredient. His cells, craving food, began to activate by themselves, as Alexander found himself standing face to face with the ethereal being he always knew came out when he got angry enough. Conversing with it, Alexander was surprised to find that due to his incredibly excessive eating habits even for his previously low evolutionary stage, his Appetite Demon was not condescending to him. However, being suddenly struck by his Appetite Demon, Alexander awoken to being caught in the same tundra, but covered in bright blue flames. At his slightest whim, Alexander watched as the flames moved back and forth as he trudged back to his mentors, who would later explain to him that it was the evolution of his preference of Shivering, the acquiring of a permanent heat and fire based ability: pyrokinesis.

This third month would prove incredibly efficient, as Alexander's body was placed deeper and deeper into the Back Channels to the point that what was simply a month for those outside of the channel became much longer, and with him eating vast amounts of food in the same "day" due to the change in time perception, Alexander's cells were more than equipped to constantly evolve. Alexander, going back trough all the former situations, had his unique power honed, much to the pleasure of the two individuals training him. His training was indeed a success, and being brought to the village once more, Alexander would settle down until he could go see the Shinobi in question. This relatively strange time where nothing occured was the blooming of..relations with the shrine maiden, and while they never evolved into a full relationship, a home run was definitely hit.

Finally developing his body to a level deemed suitable by his mentors, he met the mentor of the Shinobi occupation, and to his surprise, and utter, unbridled terror, he happened to be Misumi's older brother. Pretending he didn't sleep around with his future teacher's little sister, Alexander would train under the taijutsu master in the arts he knew best, and was forced to come up with a manner, utilizing his body, to achieve a strength level equivalent to his teacher who used the Eight Gates. While Alexander's raw power could already rival and equal his trainer while in the Eight Gates, Alexander  was told that, since he smelled of his sister, he had no choice but to come up with something that managed to impress him based on his own Eight Gates technique. While disappointed he would not be taught the technique over such a stupid reason, he quickly, after reading a book, began to train his taijutsu and breathing untill one day, he showed himself capable of rivaling the Eight Gates in combat, developing what is known as the Seven Heavens Breathing Method. Unlike the Eight Gates, due to it being practically impossible to die from the technique (though there are still strains on the body), it lacks the eight state and only possesses seven activations. After a brief fight, where he was only allowed to enter the second activation (mainly because Alexander was wailing on him and his training was only using the Eight Gates and nothing else that he had at his disposure), Alexander was sent away, where he would go back to the village and say his goodbyes. On the final day of his village life, Alexander would look awaken to the smell of familiar skin, Misumi laying in the bed with him, to his surprise. Even more surprised to find out that she knows that he was going back that day, she explains that while the rest of her village might not be, she was a Hunter, meaning his In was ineffective.

Alexander  then let her know that if she is going

## Animal Partner

* **Caranus:** The youngest son of Romulus, and the closest one to him due to him being the only one near his age, the bond betweeen the two of them is so strong that Alex first tapped into the power of Beserk when a young Caranus was in serious danger. It is not known exactly how Apollo was put in said danger, but it could only be figured out that it was pretty serious. Apollo is an omnivore, capable of enjoying all forms of food, and due to being adapted a very long time ago, can eat human and "Gourmet" foods. Said to be the fastest known animal in the world even as a mere infant, Caranus, as a Battle Wolf of great lineage is capable of running at truly incredible speeds easily beyond 240 km/h (calculated speed of an infant). Having incredibly sharp claws and an appetite matched only by Alex, incredible inborn instincts, high intelligence even for a battle wolf, incredible growth rate, immense strength, and the ability to detect danger and warn Alexander before harm can befall any of them, Apollo has proved himself not only a friend, but a useful ally in combat.  Most animals will simply never attack Apollo because of his race and the natural dominance they hold. To top it all of, Caranus is indeed capable of using Busoshoku Haki, taught to him by his best friend, allowing him to be useful in taking down all manner of Haki-wielding enemies or Devil Fruit wielding enemies. Caranus' abilities include
	+ **Passing Fang:** Despite Caranus's raw speed being terrifyingly greater than the 240 km/h of an infant, to the point that he can completely obliterate a simulated infant with raw speed in about a second, Caranus can go even beyond that, reaching levels of speed many consider untrackable. While Caranus achieves the speed of the Passing Fang on a regular basis without much effort, when employed by Caranus as  a conscious decision, the creation of whirlwinds and blazing trails is extremely common. Spinning at speeds that would have even the Sharingan struggling to keep up, and delivering several a multitude of feral attacks on his target, the damage capable of being done by Caranus is insane, already being able to cut through steel without the technique, capable of cutting through chakra reinforced steel. While ninken use urine to mark the target, Caranus passively uses En in tandem with his Intuition, allowing him to attack the opponent even if he can't see them.
	+ **Busoshoku Haki:**Busoshoku Haki allows the user to use their spirit life force to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themselves. Naturally this "invisible armor" can also be used as a weapon to strike others with. It can be used to augment the user's own physical attacks, projected ahead of the user as pure brute force, or imbued into weapons to increase their effectiveness. Any attack and/or weapon enhanced by Busoshoku Haki hits immensely harder than it would normally without it. A heavy concentration (or coating) of this Haki can be used to harden parts of one's body, turning the area black, thus making the user denser and more formidable, and giving their attacks greater power. Caranus, taught this Haki by Alexander to increase his effectiveness in combat, is a force to be reckoned with, capable of using even the hardening aspect. This type of Haki also has the ability to bypass the powers of a Devil Fruit user whose body has been altered by their fruit in any way, touching the "substantial body" beneath whatever protection the fruit provides, such as the case of body-altering Devil Fruits such as Logia or Paramecia users. However, unlike Seastone, it does not actually nullify a user's Devil Fruit powers, so it still allows them to defend themselves, and continue fighting normally.
	+ **Hito Hito No Mi:**While Caranus's natural intellect rivaled some humans pre-DF, Caranus' intelligience has own gotten even greater, allowing him to understand and communicate in human languages, literally all he had ever heard prior to the Devil Fruit's effects. Combining his natural abilities of intuition with his new levels of ingenuity, Caranus has effectively become Alex's chef, while also being able to change from his regular form to what appears to be a silver-haired lycan (human form). Caranus can choose whether he wants to speak to Alexander alone in the language of the beasts, or in general to the language of the humans.
		- **​Heavy Point:**Caranus is capable of converting his body into a form which gives him a more human-like appearance and height, and grants him relatively enhanced strength and agility, with his musculature having him grow larger, more muscular, and slightly monstrous, with the strength in this form being easily superhuman. However, in the case that this form is too intimidating for some individuals, Caranus is als capable of reverting to a more regular human-like appearance.
		- Walk Point: The same as Caranus' form prior to eating this Devil Fruit, even Caranus' base form recieved upgrades in power, as since all other transformations are based on manipulating the aspects of humans he wishes to use, Caranus' natural battle lupine abilities become condensed and saturated in this form, multiplying the inherent Intuition skills of his species to an entirely different level. In addition, Caranus' Life Erase prowess is greatly enhanced, allowig him to "disappear" into the shadows as demonstrated by more outrightly poweerful members of his race, as well as enhancing his supernatural sense of smell to a level that makes Aleander proud.
		- Brain Point: Allows him to simply use his Intuition
	+ **Life Erase:**
	+ **Claw:**
	+ **Soru:**A Battle Wolf, is perhaps, the fastest animal in the world. With naturally imperceivable speed movement, it is the envy of Swift Release users and Soru masters everywhere. But what happens when it is taught the most basic aspect of Rokushiki? What happens then? The principle of this technique was the ability to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye. In this case, Caranus' already incredible speeds are augmented vastly, moving at "Extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power". This technique seperates him from even Battle Wolves of his own age, easily combatting some of the fastest of fighters. In addition, due to literally growing faster as he ages, Caranus was able to run on par with Romulus (though holding back greatly and not even trying), a Battle Wolf capable of moving so quickly many assume he can teleport. Adding this to Passing Fang is literally asking for the death of whatever it is he is attacking.

## *Powers and Abilities*

### *Physical Attributes*

Alexander, despite his young age, has demonstrated a great deal of physical strength, with his physical attributes being one of his most outstanding qualities. Alexander's natural strength is attributed to his inhuman training as both a warrior of Hera and the heir to the throne, in addition to his power as a direct descendant of Amanda's familial heritage and Solomon's own training. Due to his bloodline, and the remains of his parents' own physiologies, Alexander has become mutated in a sense. Alexander constantly breaks his physical limits during training, and it is a running joke within his family that when he starts training, he never stops until he completely passes out. The young man has a relatively astounding level of durability, and has inherited a latent healing factor from his mother, and his father's natural adaptation from being a vampire for such an extended period of time. In addition, being the blood grandson of the woman known as the Lady of the Lake, his physical prowess naturally outshines many an adult. He also naturally has a razor sharp set of teeth, seemingly capable of biting through extremely hard substances without taking into consideration his jaw strength.

* **Superhuman Strength:** Alexander possesses an immense physical power, enhanced by rigourous training and Gourmet Cells transforming him into a superhuman physical monster of tremendous proportions, having a widened gap between him and most other people. Capable of lifting vast amounts of weight without much strain, Alexander's physical power has allowed him to easily punch infdividuals through several walls while holding back, and often trains by wrestling with Caranus, a Battle Wolf capable of taking human form due to the consumption of a Devil Fruit. Forced into Heran warrior training, and ridiculously strength-intensive chores by his grandmother, Alexander, upon eaving over the four year timekip, immersed himself in nature, where he returned with yet another boost to his physical power, having awakened the power of his maternal side. In addition, Alexander's legs are similarly strong, likely stronger than his arms, and allows for him to easily kick through trees and leap great distances in a single, astounding bound. In many ways said to take after his "Uncle Taco Wielding Succubus Slayer", Alex can lift creatures many times his own size, in addition to being capable of the generation of shockwaves, very easily. After the awakening of his Gourmet Cells, Alexander's physical power has skyrocketed even further, cementing himself as the most physically powerful individual in Astrea, actually capable of lifting Caranus if necessary, the two perhaps being the two strongest members of Astrea. Alexander has shown to create powerful shockwaves nowadays with naught but a single flick of the finger, and even stop attacks or repel attacks by forcefully redirecting attacks with the sheer force of his punches, and attack with such force that his strikes often cause miniature implosions/explosions on contact with the opponent due to his strength actually affecting the hydrogen atoms it comes into contact with. Due to possessing most, if not all of his physical strength within his base form, Alexander, without amplifications, is perhaps one of the physically strongest people in general, capable of generating tornadoes with a bunch and multiple building flattening blades of air, and with the incredible speed he is known to strike, he can cause several times that in what might appear to be a singular strike, and with his applications of his Asura Transmuter based Nen ability, can seemingly lift almost anything. His physical strikes, due to mastering Fishman Karate, do not find themselves weakened in the least due to an underwater environment and water pressure, seemingly simply punching through them regardless, and due to his own awakening of the **Jet** branch of Gourmet Cell powers, Alexander's physical strikes are seemingly on an entirely different level, amplified by the unnatural power of his breathing, effortlessly shattering bone and knocking out foes with what would appear to be a simple touch with his strength without even harnessing the power of Knocking.
* **Superhuman Speed and Reflexes:**Son of Solomon, Alexander has a naturally accelerated physiology and cognitive rate, showcasing explosive leg power and speed, changing directions with ease in battle. His ability to accelerate and decelerate are almost inhuman, his running speed almost always being at his natural top speed, and decelerating almost instantaneously. Alexander has also similarly fast reflexes, dodging attacks from those on his speed level or above with ease. As a result of his military training, Alexander is primed for a fight even when asleep. In addition, Alexander's natural speed has been similarly enhanced by his Gourmet Cells, with even the weakest of physical specimens turning into powerful superhumans by the amazing changes capable of being brought around by Gourmet Cells. As a result, Alexander is capable of some astounding feats of speed, despite his bulk, and in fact, most see his bulk as if it just simply never existed in the first place. However, after the timeskip, Alexander has demonstrated the ability to move with the force of a ***Jet***, moving at obscene speeds beyond what was previously possible by him, creating afterimages by hopping around back and forth, and when amplified by tthe power of Soru, Alexander reaches a speed worthy of a young Battle Wolf and of a commoner's lineage (still slower than Caranus). From the very beginning Alexander has shown incredible talent in punching incredibly quickly, releasing hundreds of strikes in a second, each targeted to hit his opponents, none seemingly being random.
* **Superhuman Durability:**As the laws of the universe would have it, the maximum level of physical striking power one can dish out should be proportional to the maximum level of physical or structural damage they could take. As a result, Alexander possess and incredible natural durability, vastly outclassing ordinary humans and several beasts without even the addtion of an augmentation to add to this durability. Alexander can take impacts similar to his own and counter with his own punches, as this is the characteristic that enables him to actually fight against and effectively hold his own against more powerful beings. Though being utterly trashed by the Wolf King on the last day of his training, keeping in mind the Wolf King was severely holding back and uninterested to begin with, Alexander survived the encounter, something *very, very* few can actually say.
* **Superhuman Agility:**Alexander has levels of agility that can be considered impossible, having a balance and co-ordination that goes beyond most human capabilities, capable of doing several actions simultaneously and pulling off stunts that many persons simply cannot match, pulling off quadruple flips at a young age. Alexander has shown agility enough to enable him to temporarily run on walls.
* **Superhuman Stamina:**Alexander has a stamina stemming from his heritage as the grandson of Lea, whose family had an immensely powerful life-force and stamina. As a result, Alexander can undergo strenuous activity for extended periods of time, and even when most of his massive stamina reserves are drained, can continue on with his mental stamina: willpower. Alexander has truly enromous levels of energy, capable of intaing anything and converting it into nutrients, actually eating more than the amount of food that the regular human body would need to be capable of regeneration despite the fact that due to his Gourmet Cells he doesn't ***have*** to.
* **Superhuman Senses:**Alex's senses are naturally superhuman, having the ability to see great distances, or in nigh-absolute darkness. He can hear even some of the most hushed whispers over a good distance, and even smell and analyze scents coming from a distance away, breaking them down into their constituents. His sense of taste is also similarly superhumanly enhanced, forced to become accustomed to any form of toxin or poison on the first tip of the tongue if his superior olfaction could not already detect it. His senses are only further genetically supplemented by the superhuman acuity of both his parents.
* **Animal Empathy:** Alexander, like his father, is natually skilled at animal interpretation and communication, in addition to feeling the emotions of animals, due to being trained by Romulus and his pack and treated like a cub. He is known for talking to animals in his area for help in several activities.  Over the four year timeskip, Alexander is known for the employing of this ability to instead achieve a form of animal manipulation through channeling his Intimidation while communicating with animals, though Caranus is known to easily brush this aside, as Alexander simpy is not intimidating to him. As a result, Alexander can call down a murder of crows or a swarm of bats without breaking a sweat, or use them for the purposes of reconaissance and even tracking. It is assumed that this talent was awakened due to him being in the presence of one of the Eight Kings from a young age.
* **Healing Factor**: Ever since the events of Storm Island, minor regeneration has been awakened through his Gourmet Cells, in addition to what his Gourmet Cells naturally give him. Alexander, due to having inherited a healing factor due to his heritage, and his Gourmet Cells granting him incredible regenerative powers, has a highly reactive regenerative power, capable of healing from large amounts of damage in a short period of time, and has such an extensive healing factor thtat it even covers the loss of limbs, and through the use of Life Return can be accelerated through  simply focusing on the specific area that needs to be healed. Due to his incredible number of calories, Alexander has been noted to focus both his capacity for the Red and his capability to manipulate Appetite Energy to seemingly repair organs, and even damaged nerve tissue.
* **Lung Capacity:**Alexander has an abnormally grand level of oxygen intake, capable of inhaling abnnormal volumes of air or vapours in a single go, and it has been shown that the amount of air he might have in his body at any given times, Alexander is capable of releasing what would appear to be hurricane force winds from a simple, uncontrolled exhalation. He is even capable of demonstrating such a powerful inhalation that it is considered akin to a gravitational vortex, as objects around him get pulled towards him in the form of a potent updraft.

### *Nen*

Nen is a powerful technique that allows one to use their inner life energy, known as Aura. Aura is produced directly within the body, and is slowly released from special pores beneath the skin known as Aura Nodes. For those who become skilled practioners of Nen, they obtain the ability to open and close their Aura Nodes at will. For as long as Alexander could remember, he has been passively tapping into Nen, in a sense being a Genius in the usage of Nen, and even developed his first Hatsu ability completely by accident.

Training in it's active usage at an Occupation Academy, Alexander quickly mastered The Four Major Principles, as well as the Advanced Techniques of Nen. As a natural prodigy in it's usage, Alex mastered the Transmuation type, and began to use his other types to attempt to produce his first Hatsu. As a result...

#### *Four Major Principles*

* **Ten (Enevelop; Shroud)**: Alex utilizes Ten to to keep his Aura Nodes open, but instead of letting it all flow away and dissipate. He controls it and makes it to flow through and around his body, causing his body to become immune to emotional attacks from other Nen users. Since all of the energy is concentrated within the body, it allows Alex to maintain youthful vigor and reduce his body's aging process. The main drawback of Ten, is that even though it protects Alex from emotional Nen attacks, it cannot defend against physical Nen attacks. The quality of Ten can be improved through meditation.

* **Zetsu (Suppress; Null)**: Alex utilizes Zetsu to close his Aura Nodes, stopping the flow of Aura within and around his body altogether. Since Alexander is no longer surrounded by his own Aura, he is sensitive to the Aura of others, and can easily track them down by sensing their Auras. On top of this, it also prevents other Nen users from sensing Alex, it relieves fatigue since the Aura is now fully contained within, and unfortunately makes Alex's body vulnerable to other Nen attacks since his own Aura is disabled.
* **Ren (Refine; Enhance)**: Alex utilizes Ren to output a huge amount of Aura from his body and keeps it attached to his body, he then greatly increases it's intensity and size. Alex's physical strength and durability are increased, and he is provided with a large pool of Aura to use for any techniques. Ren is a direct application of Ten, and it's offensive counterpart.
* **Hatsu (Release; Act)**: Alex utilizes Hatsu to release his Aura to perform a certain action. It is what is used to perform all individual Nen abilities, and reflects one's personal expression of Nen.

#### *​Advanced Techniques*

* **Shu (Enfold)**: Shu is an advanced application of Ten. Alex utilizes Shu to extend his Aura around an object to use it as if it was an extension of his body. The object becomes both stronger and is protected by the Aura, akin to how Ren strengthens and protects his body.
* **In (Conceal)**: In is an advanced application of Zetsu. Alex utilizes In to completely conceal and hide his Aura. Unlike Zetsu, it doesn't require Alex to completely cancel the flow of Aura throughout and around his body. Instead, it simply hides it, allowing him to perform dangerous sneak attacks and lay traps.

* **Gyo (Focus)**: Gyo is an advanced application of Ren. Alex utilizes Gyo to focus his Aura into one specific body part in order to greatly strengthen that body part. The downside to Gyo is that the other body parts are left vulnerable, due to the Aura being concentrated into one part.

* **Ken (Fortify)**: Ken is an enhanced version of Ren. Alex utilizes Ken to maintain Gyo over his entire body, allowing him to defend against attacks from any direction. Ken is useful as a defensive measure, but is tiring to maintain, and is not as strong as Gyo when used on a specific part of the body since it is dispersed across all of it. Due to this, it is mainly used when being cautious.

* **En (Circle)**: En is an advanced application of both Ten and Ren. Alexander utilizes En to create a sensory barrier around himself made from his own Aura. He can feel the shape and movement of anything and everything that enters the barrier, and can extend it's range up to 60 meters. The downside to En, is that is it very tiring and quickly dissipates Alexander's Aura. Therefore, he cannot use it for extremely long periods of time or else he will run out of Aura.

* **Ko (Temper)**: Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, and Gyo are all used together to create Ko. Alexander utilizes Ko to focus absolutely all of his individual Aura into a specific part of his body. Zetsu is used to stop the flow of Aura across his entire body with all of it being forced into a single spot. Tremendously empowering that specific part of his body. The massive concentration of so much Aura in one spot creates an intense high-pitched dissonance, akin to metal being ground and representing how much raw power is contained within the body part or object.

#### *Manipulation, Transmuation and Enhancement*

* **Asura:** His first Hatsu technique while fully controlling his Aura, Alexander has been able to create colossal arm constructs to use in battle, increasing the number of combat ready limbs he has at any given time. He transmutes his Aura into golden arm constructs, and since the Aura is not detached from the body, his body gains extra appendages. The use of these appendages increase the speed of consecutive attacks to entirely new heights, allows him to bolster his already superhuman strength. and increase his overall combat efficiency. Considering his already inhuman co-ordination skills, Alexander can easily utilize these arms with the utmost of ease in battle, allowing him to reach entirely new heights of physical power.
	+ **Mantra Blades:** By giving it the properties of a sharp object, Alexander can produce “blades” anywhere on his body concealed with In and sharp enough to penetrate most of a person’s body, or even utilize it as a defensive maneuver. He can manipulate the length of the blade at will and make it into any shape he wishes, from scythe to knife to katana. In addition, in a similar vein to Enhancement but instead, with Transmutation to surround objects with aura and turn them into blades and even use regular sticks as arrows. He can use this to take just a hilt of a sword and use aura as a blade, allowing him to fight with masters of swordsmanship with or without a blade.
* **Strength**: The absolute first Hatsu technique Alexander has ever invented, even before mastering Aura. Alexander, using his skill as an Enhancer, can augment his physical strength to levels considered further than human possible, especially when considering it can be applied to even his Nen-created arms. With that addition, his strength is brought to entirely new heights. Howeer, due to his personally shifting after actually learning Nen, the efficiency of the technique had actually gone down, allowing him to only double his strength at max with the abilitiy.
* **Waterworks:** The user transmutes their aura into water. This means their aura will feel wet, fluid, and all other properties of pure water (H2O) at room temperature. However, none of these properties are real, therefore they want have any real effect on a target. For example, they won't find themselves doused in water if they swim in it, though it will feel just like they've been submerged in real water. Alexander could slow down his enemies by forcing them to take a swim. Water resistance certainly exceeds air resistance. If they were to breathe in the "water", they would breathe in air, but it would feel like breathing in water, almost like forcing people to suffocate. Even if they didn't, they could experience major trauma, similar to waterboarding. To someone not using Gyo, it would seem like magic, as Alexander's ability goes hand in hand with In. Due to it not being real water, it technically can't be bended.
* **Sound Proofing:** Alexander, after analyzing the structure and effects of a soundproofed wall, can transmute his aura into replicating their properties, allowing him to move completely silently.
* **Scream:** Alexander can enhance his own voice with aura, allowing him to release a powerful shout that has the ability to generate several shockwaves and is intense enough to kill, causing internal rupturing. He can channel manipulation through this ability to fire it off as a highly condensed blast of sound.
* **Partner Protection:** The user increases their strength, speed, and healing ability to an absurd extent to protect someone. Only one person may be protected, but the enhancement is directly proportional to the threat and devotion level. Condition: The more that I care about someone that I protect/greater the threat to them, the stronger I become. Of course, if they either do not really care about the person or do not see the enemy as a threat, then this can quite easily be supplemented. While Alexander is constantly capable of doing this through the tough love relationship between himself and his animal partner, when another individual is thrown in the mix, Alexander's power is capable of skyrocketing, especially if that person happens to be a close friend of his, or a member of his family.

#### *Vows and Limitations*

* **Mantra:** Despite it's enormous power, it can only be used when Berserk is active, and takes the drawbacks of Berserk as a limitation that it actually helps with to an extent. Upon attempting to harness the full power of the Mantra ability while Berserk is inactive, Alexander will receive severe pains throughout the entirety of his body, akin to millions of needles jabbing every pain receptor he has, a pain considered to be worse than death. As a result, Mantra's power is increased enormously, and by extension, Berserk.
* **Asura:**
* **Food Honour and Immersion:** Alexander, every time he eats his food, must undergo the entirety of the Food Honour bowing practice before eating, or else he will die, no matter what exactly it is he is consuming. As a result, the level of gratitude Alexander is capable of showing towards food is passively enhanced with Nen itself empowering it, as well as the effectiveness of both abilities being enhanced tremendously.

### *Gourmet Cells*

Alexander, while on Storm Island,  was forcefully injected with an enormous concentration of Gourmet Cells to the point that the concentration octupled the concentration of his own body cells. With Gourmet Cells capable of replicating and regenerating themselves near indefinitely, Alexander’s power completely overtook his normal cells and changes his body to a special, highly adaptive thing. Gourmet Cells are special adaptive cells that possess incredible regenerative and strength-enhancing abilities that are unlike anything ever seen before. Alexander’s Gourmet Cells augment his power tremendously, and an additional range of superhuman powers and abilities, including his superhuman strength, superhuman touch, adaptation, voracious appetite that may be downright superhuman, the ability to use appetite energy, and an extremely terrifying life force, having already had one that was superhuman due to his life force.

The strength he gained gives him a highly powerful spike in all physical attributes, and the ability to evolve his cells by the consumption of high-quality foods. These cells when they consume delicious foods that suit them and the tastes of the cells, it further enhances their capabilities. Certain individuals can also develop new abilities or resistances as a response to harsh new environments, instantly creating adaptations which allow the user to survive. Strangely enough, Alexander also finds himself innately being able to hear Food Spirits, indicating that he is either naturally blessed with Food Luck, or is currently somehow partially  and passively connected to Back Channels (it's the first one).
All living beings possess calories, a basic form of measurement of energy. How many calories a person has varies between person to person. However, those such as Bishokuya who possess Gourmet Cells have a much larger calorie intake than the average human being does. Therefore, they have an insane amount of calories in comparison and utilize in during combat. For example, all of Alexander's techniques use calories but also appetite energy, and depending on the power of the technique it uses a lower or higher amount of calories. Naturally possessing a vast amount of calories, the results of this usage are insane. Alexander, a  user of both Food Honour and Food Immersion, in addition to stockpiling what many people consider extraordinarily vast amounts of food, is blessed with a gargantuan number of calories to work with.

#### *Appetite Energy*

Appetite Energy is pure cellular energy generated within Gourmet Cells, brought forth by an immense appetite. By a predator focusing on it's overwhelming hunger and lust devour it's prey, this energy can be emitted and used for various purposes. Only the absolute strongest predators on the top of the food chain can use this form of energy. The energy is incredibly versatile and can be used for offensive, defensive, and supplementary purposes. Alexander uses this energy in all of his techniques and can create various semi-solid structures, infuse certain body parts with it to drastically empower them.

* **Tasting Scope:** A type of vision that allows Alexander to see and measure the strength of any creature by their "flavor" and "savoriness." He claims that thought determines "flavor" and that life energy determines "savoriness", and practically allows him the actual ability to sense the presence of and see others over vast distances, similar to Kenbunshoku Haki but a tad bit more precise.
* **Fork:**By forming his hands into a "claw" position Alexander uses a technique known as "fork" that allows him to easily pierce four holes through most objects and beast and lift them up even if they weight more than him.
* **Knife:**By forming his hands into a "chopping" position Alexander uses a technique known as "knife" which allows him to easily slice through most objects and beast with ease. It has enough cutting power to slice through stone or concrete walls.
* **Spoon:** By forming his hand in a "spoon" position Alexander uses a technique known as spoon which allows him to create a spoon from his appetite energy that can scoop up nearly anything. It can even scoop up non-physical things such as fire or smoke. He can even use it to fly by propeling himself with the spoons by using them as wings of some sort.
* **Finger Knocking:** Through utilization of his fork technique, Alexander focuses it's piercing power into his index finger and strikes the nerves and pressure points of an enemy to paralyze them.
* **Fork Nail Punch:** Alexander, rather than scattering or concentrating it, combines the stabbing power of his Fork with the penetrative power of a Nail Punch, raising its overall piercing strength considerably. It's a technique produced by Toriko's image of his routine. He has been shown to be able to control and change its course from a distance as well. 20-Hit Fork Nail Punch is his current known maximum
* **Knife Nail Gun:** By combining the cutting ability of his Knife to the piercing strength in Nail Gun Alex creates a powerful attack, capable of causing considerable damage. When he first used the technique against Starjun, he took the hits as high as 20.
* **(No.)-Hit Nail Punch:** Alexander can create a punch so powerful that it can easily break through concrete and steel, and knock out even extremely powerful beasts; this is one of Alex's most potent and signature move. After building up power in his arm, Alexander unleashes it as a flurry of straight jabs that seem to hit the target simultaneously, creating a number of surreal, delayed shockwaves. By straining his muscles even more he can land more hits in the same instant; the power increases immensely with every additional hit.
* (No.) Hit Nail Gun:
* **Flying Fork:** This technique is the same as the normal fork technique except Alexander now has the ability to launch it from his hand allowing him to pierce four holes through objects far away without having to be close to them.
	+ **Cannon Fork**
* **Flying Knife:** This technique is the same as the normal knife technique except Alexander now has the ability to launch it from his hand allowing him to slice through objects far away without having to be close to them.
* **Fork Shield:** This technique is the same as flying fork, except Alexander creates two of them and they wrap around him completely protecting him from any attacks from all sides.
* **Jet Fork:**
* **Jet Nailgun:**
* **Fire Jet Fork:**
* **Multiple Fork Shields:** This technique is the same as the previous, except Alexander fires and creates a large wall comprised of several forks layered on top of each other to block incoming attacks.
* **Fork Armor:** Alexander uses his fork shield technique to wrap it around his body and create a durable armor out of it to defend against attacks.

#### *Other Abilities*

* **Food Honor:** Food Honor, also known as Food Etiquette is both a customary and a philosophical practice of etiquette that teaches gratitude for ingredients and a strict method of eating in especially difficult, but necessary ways in order to bring out the true flavor and potential of certain ingredients. While learning Food Honor the body will begin to auto-correct its movements, removing all actions deemed unnecessary and increases concentration. This allows more efficient use of calories, granting greater stamina, speed, and power though the practitioner may not be immediately aware of the changes. Food Honor affects different people in different ways, for Gourmet Hunters, it increases their overall power and calorie consumption. For Chefs, it increases the delicacy in their movements, and it allows a Chef to prepare Ingredients so carefully, that the ingredients are unaware that they have been handled. Alexander managed to increase the speed and strength of his attacks several times over, by both cutting down on useless movements and increasing his concentration. This in turn reduces calorie consumption greatly and makes his attacks capable of more delicate handling, allowing him to last longer in combat. After he acquired Food Immersion, his techniques’ power has been greatly increased even further, as his immense calorie consumption when combined with these methods of maximizing this power leads to him having an astounding degree of physical endurance and stamina.

* **Food Immersion:** Food Immersion is the secret technique of Food Honor. Food Immersion is when one respects and appreciates the food they have eaten even after it enters the body and becomes part of their flesh and blood. The ingredients absorbed by the body are thankful themselves for being eaten and they pour all the nutrients they have into one's body almost limitlessly. It also makes the user gain an increment in his weight without necessarily getting fat. In the teachings of Food Honor, it is described as immersing one's self into a meal. By mastering this ability, Alexander’s power is over 9000.

* **Intimidation:**Alexander's Intimidation projects an enormous lupine demonic beast, possessing several arms and sharp fangs. The beast has purple skin, and often switches cutlery each time it is employed. It has glowing red eyes and a pointed, spade-shaped tail. The beast tends to have a background of poison. Using this to intimidate opponents, Alexander's Intimidation grows continuously gargantuan with his anger, and it remains yet to be seen what would happen when Alexander inevitably reawakens Berserk and taps into Intimidation.
* **Life Erase:**Life Erase is a technique that erases ones presence from their prey by subsiding their "intent" or "killing aura" allowing them to approach an animal or ingredient without it noticing any hostility. In nature, predatory animals commonly hide their presence when approaching its prey and likewise prey animals can tell when a predator is satisfied and not directing killing intent towards them. This ability seemingly conceals most form of detection, allowing the user to attack stealthily and with ease, removing sound and even seemingly turning themselves invisible.
* **Instinct or Intuition:** is born from vast amounts of experience in an area such as combat. It can help the user avoid attacks unseen to the naked eye or attack the vitals of an enemy that has never been faced before. It is also versatile as it can be applied to many different areas such as helping Sunny find ingredients. Intuition can also pick up on things invisible to the naked eye, like pheromones. Alexander has a naturally powerful Intuition, born from his training in Enbu, supplementary raising and "baby-sitting" by Romulus, and his experiences with Astrea. Alexander, when layering this power along with Haki and En, has found that he is incredibly capable of perceiving attacks before they even hit, and finding things that don't want to be found, and just sensing danger in general.
* **Conduct of the King - Ultimate Routine**: The "supreme" routine taught to Toriko by Aimaru. By imagining a scenario or event strongly enough, a person is able to cause an impression of that scenario or event that it actually occurs, whether that be imagining stress and forming an ulcer or imagining an attack succeeding and having it actually succeed. To fully utilize the effects of the technique it requires an astonishing level of concentration and self-confidence, and depending on the difficulty of the desired impression the energy required can be enormous.

#### *Enbu*

Enbu (猿武 Enbu, "Monkey Martial Art") also known as Monkey Dance (モンキーダンス Monkī Dansu) is a form of martial arts discipline as well as a form of ranking system that is unique to the inhabitants of Area 7. Like modern day martial arts, the ways of Enbu have a pyramid chain which shows the rankings of each group as well as how many there are with newcomers having the lowest ranking but largest group to instructors having the highest ranking with the smallest group (consisting of only four).

Much like any other form of combat, Enbu itself has its strengths and weaknesses, meaning that even if one is able to master Enbu, they are not without their own weaknesses. One of the most important strengths of any Enbu practitioner is their cellular level of unison. Because each cell works together in order to perform different tasks, Enbu allows a practitioner's focus to be amplified beyond what they can deem possible. By having each cell in the body assist the host, the host can easily perform tasks which could kill an individual, one such task is avoiding a BB Pill Bug's dangerous poison which it will excrete without warning and if one doesn't let the bug go within 0.1 of a second, can cause dangerous consequences. Being able to avoid these dangers as well as focus on many other things all at once highly amplifies a practitioner's abilities.

* **Enbu Natural Stance:** Alexander, a user of Enbu, is capable of utilizing the legendary Monkey Martial Art for a vast variety or purposes. The active use of Enbu enables the user to greatly improve their physical aspects, but even more so, their inherent adaptive abilities and perceptive abilities. Bringing each and every cell in his body together, Alexander is given the ability to sense the flow of his opponent in battle, allowing him to more effectively evade the attacks of his opponent, reducing and granting Alexander a mild intuition on how to redirect said attacks, allowing him to last longer in battle. In addition, an example of Alexander's enhanced adaptive abilities to force in particular is his ability to even adapt to changes in gravitational forces, as without Enbu, while his body may feel heavy, with Enbu, each and every cell in his body attempts to ward it off, effectively resisting even high gravity. However, Enbu, while incredibly powerful, is also incredibly taxing, requiring the active use of Food Immersion to viably sustain in extended combat, draining even Alexander's enormous calorie level if not tapped into greatly. As a result, this is the direct manifestation of Enbu's ability to reduce damage, as the enhanced resistance to force applies to all forms of forces, and as such, all forms of damage, or alteration to his physical being by external forces. Alexander is effectively shielding himself against most, if not all types of damage, albeit the shielding not being absolute. In addition, even poisons fall to the mighty power of Enbu, Alexander's body uniting to form antibodies and produce antitoxins for any disease or toxins he is infected with almost instantly. As Alexander continues to progress through the ranks, Alex's resistance will continue to grow, as Alexander's rank in Enbu is nowhere enough to be allowed to actually see the Monkey King.
	+ **Secret Technique: Low Power:** A technique Alexander improvised after learning how the "secret technique" of Enbu was formed, he is capable of channeling all the energies of his, at bare minimum, 60 trillion odd cells into his arms, and channeling into what is simply known as an attack. From then on, the striking power of this attack is immensely enhanced, the destructive capability going to levels of which it can very easily go through buildings like butter, Enbu being enormously powerful by nature. In fact, this power is one of the many reasons why it is said that Bishokuya lack the need for a Sage Mode to wield power of a similar classification. Even if Alexander misses, the shockwave generated by the power is incredible, capable of rocking most opponents immensely violently, and perhaps uprooting nearby trees.
		- **​Strike Flow:**
		- **Mountain Split:**

#### *Knocking*

Knocking (ノッキング Nokkingu) is a special, non-lethal method of capturing wild beasts. It generally involves striking the nerves or pressure points that control movement of living creatures with the use of specialized techniques or the use of biodegradable needles fired from various implements, known as Knocking Guns. This way any beast can be transported alive. However, the location of these nerves is different in every species, so a great amount of knowledge and experience is required to use Knocking techniques or Knocking Guns effectively.By targeting certain vital spots and nerve endings on his opponent with fork or knife, Alexander can cause them to be knocked out and lose consciousness. This usually only works on weaker opponents or when stronger opponents are weakened.

* Impact Knocking: Teppei is able to perform very precise knocking using his bare hands. The blows he lands are also very painful, compensating for the lack of true damage to the opponent. His Knocking appears to have various levels of intensity, that are named after the graduations of meat cooking.
	+ Medium: A powerful blow to the celiac plexus that can paralyze the target completely. However, it is only partially effective against Tommyrod's insect ganglia.
	+ Well Done: Teppei gives multiple strikes to the opponent's motor nerves that paralyze every muscle in their body.
* Intimidation Knocking: Using Intimidation, Knocking Master Jiro paralyzes his enemies with fear.

### *Haki*

* **Kenbunshoku Haki:** A form of Haki that allows the user to sense the presence of others, even if they are concealed from view or too far to see naturally. The user can also use this Haki to predict an opponent's moves shortly before they make them, thereby making the attack much easier to evade with enough skill. This prediction appears to the user as an image or brief "premonition" of what the opponent will do in the user's mind's eye, and the damage the user will take if the attack actually "hits". It appears that the more killing intent the enemy has, the easier they are to predict. Although, more skilled users can predict future moves whether there are ambient murderous intents or not. It is possible that this form of Haki allows the user to sense the strength of others as well. This type of Haki can also allow the user to empathise with the emotions and nature of others.
* **Busoshoku Haki:**A form of Haki that allows the user to create a force similar to an invisible armor around themselves. This Haki allows the user to defend against attacks that would otherwise cause them harm. It can be used to augment the user's own physical attacks, projected ahead of the user as pure brute force, or imbued into weapons to increase their effectiveness. Any attack enhanced by Busoshoku Haki hits immensely harder than it would normally without it. The Kuja's Haki-imbued arrows, for example, are capable of penetrating solid stone.

This type of Haki also has the ability to bypass the powers of a Devil Fruit user whose body has been altered by their fruit in any way, touching the "substantial body" beneath whatever protection the fruit provides, such as the case of body-altering Devil Fruits such as Logia or Paramecia users. It basically also allows for intangibility bypass.
* **Busoshoku: Koka** - This technique uses Busoshoku Haki to harden the body (or parts of it), and objects which the user is holding. When something is hardened using this, it becomes black in color, and has a much stronger effect than the invisible application of Haki. Therefore, like the normal application, attacks or weapons imbued with this technique become far stronger, except to an even greater extent.
* **Haoshoku Haki:** A form of Haki that allows the user to exert their willpower over others, most often being used to exert the user's willpower onto those with weak wills and rendering them unconscious. Solomon can use this on non-living beings as well, and can target precisely what he wants to affect with his Haki.

### *Shinobi*

The occupation of shinobi, refers to those unique individuals who possess the capabilty to knead their physical energies with their spiritual energies in order to produce an incredibly versatile form of life energy only referred to by avid practitioners of this kneading process as chakra. Chakra,is the resultant energy from the coalescence of the physical energy representive and symbolic of the vitality and respirative energy produced by the mitochrondia of all living cells, the total accumulation of such an energy, and that of the spirit or soul, a derivative of the mind's concsciousness.

The clearest characteristic of being a shinobi is the ability to manipulate chakra to create and utilize ninjutsu, with many techniques existing revolving around the usage of chakra control. Jutsu are separated into three groups, ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. Ninjutsu implies performing a supernatural or beyond normal ability, the most common of which is the Nature Transformation. These are created by the user transforming their chakra into a specific nature or 'release'. The chakra types are Lightning, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Other sub-types of chakra natures such as Wood Release and Ice Release also exist, created by combining two of the basic five releases. Taijutsu implies physical body techniques, which may or may not require chakra.

Genjutsu manipulates the chakra in an enemy's mind and disrupts their chakra flow. Their senses get fooled which creates illusions, things that the foe believes to be real that are in fact fake.Ninja tools are used as alternatives to techniques. They can include weapons, accessories, and even clothing. Some ninja such as Tenten have mastered the use of such tools, but all ninja are able to use the most common to some degree. A standard shinobi will have a pouch equipped with many tools, and nearly every ninja is equipped with at least a shuriken holster. Most also possess and wear a forehead protector with the symbol of the village they derive from, though the ninja does not necessarily have to wear it over their forehead. The Inuzuka clan's ninken and Aburame clan's insects are also classified as tools.

Alexander demonstrates an surprisngly high level of chakra and chakra control he has inherited from his father, as well as his chakra control capabilities which would facilitate a great deal of his techniques which actually revolve around the precise usage and flow of chakra through his body, allowing him to enhance his physiology and even store this chakra into a single point on his forehead, the technique known as the Strength of a Hundred Seal, which enables him to access one hundred times the amount of chakra he is capable of accessing at any given moment. However, it should be noted his seal is not yet fully developed, and according to Caranus is more aptly named the Strength of Twenty-Five Seal, due to four months, regardless of chakra reserves, not being enough time to develop such a technique. However, Alexander has inherited obscene levels of physical energy from his maternal bloodline and has similar levels, if not greater levels, than his heritage, and due to physical energy making up quite a portion of chakra in general, he himself has abnormal levels of chakra as a resultant of this physical energy.

#### *Chakra Control Based Techniques/Yang Release*

The nature of the vitality of Yang chakra promotes health. It is believed that if Yang chakra is flowed into a living creature, it will grow well and quickly. Yang chakra has been noted to speed up growing plants. In a living creature with inherent Yang chakra, such a creature will grow well and quickly, and will be very healthy. Based on their 'life-supporting' chakra, it is quite easy for a shinobi with Yang release to toe the path of the healing arts. Even those who do not eventually become medics discover that their wounds heal at a quicker rate than the average shinobi.

Yōton (Yang Release) is not particularly an elemental type of chakra. Actually, it is simply the physical energy that governs vitality. Yōton governs the physical aspect of chakra. A user of the Yōton has an intimate connection with chakra at a fundamental level, making him a natural sensor. With their deep affinity to chakra, Kamisori clansmen can sense the presence of others through their chakra, detect a technique's chakra nature.

Alexander demonstrates a completely unparalleled level of physical energy and thus an unnatural affinity for the power known as Yang Release, the physical energy that governs the quality known as vitality. Vitality, in terms of a shinobi, refers to the energy that emnates from the very core of each and everyone of the individual's cells, and due to his superhman cells in tandem with his Gourmet Cells, his levels of Yang Release are seemingly truly unmatched by most, and when placed in tandem with his rigourous physical exercises and training, has his physical energy seem like a near infinitum. This in turn, allows him to demonstrate enormous longevity and stamina and possess a life-force which rivals, if not outmatches those of the Uzumaki clan, or their descendants. These highly advanced Gourmet Cells as well as his usage of Life Return, Enbu, the Seven Heavens Breathing Method, as well as the capability to utilize the power of Nen to reinforce his physical power grants him unnatural levels of life-force, demonstrating immense vitality, longevity and healing prowess, and this incredible level of physical energy helps greatly contribute to his immense stamina and chakra reserves. Due to his utilization of Appetite Energy, unique forms of cellular energy, this simply contributes even greater to his physical power and energy.

Alexander has shown himself to be capable of both walking on water and walls for extended periods of time almost effortlessly due to his chakra control that would appear completely unnatural.

### *Hero*

A Hero, is an individual who uses their particular Quirks to protect those who cannot protect themselves from danger, or any other form of harm.

A Quirk is an abonormality within the human race, also referred to as an "Individuality", a special power one can possess. Quirks can be passed down by parents or can be a combination of both parents' Quirks. They can also run through a family as well. Quirks were said to be the next step of evolution in the human race. The 20% of people who don't have Quirks have the last joint in their smallest toe because it was considered useless for bodily function, therefore those that do have the joint likely won't develop a Quirk.Although it is very rare, it is possible for animals to have Quirks too, as seen in Nedzu. It is also possible for two Quirks to mutate and become a new Quirk, as seen with One For All. Though usually they manifest at four, it is not completely unheard of for Quirks to manifest at later ages, with some not even really knowing what their Quirks are even when possessing the ability to use them subconciously.

Alexander possesses a Transformation-type quirk, which in turn befits his Nen category of Transmutation, allowing him to take on a temporary alteration of some sort/kind. These types of Quirks tend to be quite powerful and allow one to transform their body, enhance existing features, or even add new parts, the only type of Quirk known to grant the user traits or attributes they did not already portray.

#### *Manifest*

*The Manifest Quirk of the rarest class, the Transfomation Class, is an incredibly powerful Quirk made even more so by happening to be born into the hands of a Bishokuya, allowing such a being to demonstrate a power equivalent to one of the highest levels of Food Honour allowing him*

* *Lightning Phoenix: Incredible resistance if not outright immnutiy to electricity and electrical attacks, capable or deflecting it.*
* *Steel Bird: Defend himself with metal feathers and fire them off at his opponents over a distance for attack purposes*
* *Poisonous Sap*

### *Fighting Styles*

#### *Rokushiki*

Rokushiki is a special, superhuman martial arts style. From Solomon, Alexander has learnt variations of these techniques,allowing to him also perfom, say, the Kamisori.

* **Geppo-** The Geppo allows the users to actually jump off the air itself, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual. Solomon can use this technique to cross great distances without ever touching the ground, or set themselves up for swift, aerial attacks.
* **Tekkai Kenpo**- The Tekkai hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, in order to nullify damage taken from attacks. In Alexander's case, his particular usage of this ability is insane, as while he has been considered capable of oving while having it activated somehow, his body has constantly and reoccuringly proven to be capable of tanking some of the strongest attacks with nothing but this particular technique equipped.
* **Rankyaku**- The Rankyaku is a powerful projectile technique, in which the users start by kicking at very high speeds and strength, sending out a sharp compressed air blade that can slice objects and greatly damage a human body.
* **Soru**- The Soru allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power. It was revealed that the principle of this move was to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye. With this, Alexander reaches levels that it is almost necessary to either have some form of space-time ability or an ocular power capable of keeping track of him, as he moves at such incredible speeds that for all intents and purposes, he can be in two places at once.
* **Shigan-**This a technique whereby Alexander  pushes his finger into a given target at blinding, incredulous speeds, leaving a wound in his opponents shaped like that of a bullet wound. It is an extremely rapid and precise technique, and is easily lethal if the user of the technique wishes it to be.
* **Kami-e-**This technique allows Alexander to seemingly go limp to avoid any attacks and float like a piece of paper, which makes this technique incredibly more potent in tandem with his already outstanding near-precognitive abilities.

#### *Fishman Karate*

The secret of Fishman Karate is mastery of the water in the user's direct vicinity, using its power to send powerful waves impacting the water within the opponent's body. Since every living creature is nothing more than a mass of water, the users of Fishman Karate are able to battle opponents that are usually highly resistant (if not immune) against blows and punches. Fishman Karate can be used effectively on land as the user can utilize the water in the atmosphere and make use of it to attack.  Alexander, on the other hand, is capable of utilizing the unique properties of his aura, in the ability known as Water Works, in addition to the water in the atmosphere, as Fishman Karate innately teaches it's wielder to effectively manipulate the very essence of water itself, though the manipulation may not be as powerful as say, a full-fledged waterbender. Those who are capable of using Fishman Karate become incredibly dangerous, and if one wishes not to kill one's opponent, must be careful about where they strike. Striking the head, regardless of the force exerted, can easily and perhaps effortlessly induce concussions, and a strike to the chest has the potential to make a person's heart explode.

Due to Alexander being capable of using his aura for Fishman Karate, Alexander's usage of the martial arts is far more enhanced than any regular use of Fishman Karate, effectively taking his aura and obliterating his opponents through nothing but a simple transmutation into water. Due to Waterworks being inherently invisible and created with In, Alexander can effectively cause what would appear to be magical, spontaneous effects to occur, though anyone knowledgeable of the basic mechanics of Fishman Karate would perhaps notice that Alexander is clearly replicating the style in what appears to be naught but regular air. Fishman Karate of this sort is the manifestation of the Hunter's dominion over the most plentiful of the two non-heavenly terrains, water,  (Land being the other, and air being the heavenly terrain) allowing him to hunt on land like in water, unimpeded. In addition, due to the utter relative ease Alexander possesses relative to his opponents in moving through Waterworks, several of the techniques usually dependent on a Fishman-esque physiology are capable of being employed by Alexander. Lastly, Alexander is capable of using Fishman Karate to greatly amplify the power of Knocking, sending "Knocking waves" at his opponents to simply knock them unconscious.

* Kaimen Wari: Using a karate chop, Alexander can split the aura transmuted into a vast ocean, sending an immensely powerful shockwave to ripple through the field and attack the opponent violently. The strength of this technique is only made stronger with his inherent physical power, and if one was to imagine using this in combination with Enbu, for most, it is light's out. In addition, since the force of Alexander's movements through Waterworks is transmitted much better than his opponent's, the strength of the attack enhances itself.
* Karakusagawara Seiken (唐草瓦正拳 Karakusa-gawara Seiken?, literally meaning "Arabesque Tile True Punch"): Jinbe punches at a fair distance from the intended target(s), so instead of the fist connecting, it uses the water vapor in the air to release a shock wave that sends them flying. This move is similar to Bartholomew Kuma's Pad Ho with the only difference being that the shock waves are not concentrated upon being released; but in exchange, it has a much wider area of effect. This move has a delayed effect, as the shock wave takes a while to affect the opponent(s).
* Kaisoku: Harakudashigeri: An underwater (Waterworks) attack, Alexander darts forward and uses the momentum to deliver a savage side kick to the opponent's stomach, the waves generated by the kick and Fishman Karate, depending on the force, attacks the internal organs, and most effectively, if the kick is powerful enough, can burst the opponent's stomach. Due to the aforementioned reasons of Waterworks being way easier for Alexander to move through, to the point it doesn't even really personally impede him, this kick can do enormous damage to the opponent.
* Gosenmaigawara Seiken: A much-stronger version of the Senmaigawara Seiken. It is a very powerful punch, able to knock out a Jailer Beast in one strike. It is used like an uppercut, rather than a straight punch, sending the opponent flying skywards.
* Yarinami (槍波 Yarinami?, literally meaning "Spear Wave"): A technique used on a body of water's surface. Alexander heaves a spear-shaped burst of water with enough force to punch a hole in solid structures. Alexander performed this technique after emerging from the eye of a whirlpool, and then musters up the whirlpool with him hands and throws it into the target(s) in the form a piercing cyclone of water.
* Gyojin Karate Ogi: Buraikan (魚人空手「奥義」武頼貫 Gyojin Karate Ōgi: Buraikan?, literally meaning "Fishman Karate Secret Technique: Mighty Reliant Piercing"): Possibly the most powerful technique of Fishman Karate seen so far, Alexander hurls a pack of water in him hands and shoots a powerful water shock wave that pierces through him opponent's body.
* Uchimizu (撃水 Uchimizu?, literally meaning "Water Shot"): Alexander hurls a simple droplet of water at him opponent, which can become a deadly bullet with the kinetic force created by him immense strength. However, when being utilized with aura, the penetrative force of this attack has increased greatky, to the point where it can not only pierce a person, but also through several structures and rock formations behind him, moving a long distance away from the location from which it was fired, and only then returning to its original state of drop and falling in the water.

#### *Fishman Jujutsu*

* Mizugokoro (水心 Mizugokoro?, literally meaning "Water Heart"): The primary technique of this style that the user initiates by first performing a bowl-shaped gesture with his webbed hands (one hand over the other) while underwater right before giving the water itself around him a mighty yank. This allows the user to physically grab and redirect currents as if he were manipulating cloth.
	+ Kairyu Ipponzeoi (海流一本背負い Kairyū Ipponzeoi?, literally meaning "Sea Current Lifter"): A technique used by Jinbe performed after Mizugokoro. He heaves the current upward, where it erupts from the ocean surface as a towering stream of water

Murasame (群鮫 Murasame?, literally meaning "School of Shark"): A technique used by Hody. He throws the water which takes the shape of a flock of sharks which bite his opponent. It is essentially a more powerful version of his Yabusame technique.

#### *Life Return*

Alexander's incredible affinity for the usage of his physiology and strikes in combat has led him to search deeper to find more ways to utilize his already incredible physical capabilities. Heading back to Storm Island of all places, his main destination for training due to it having the facilities to not only train a Bishokuya, but most occupations as if some form of occupational university, Alexander subjected himself to enormously rigorous training which compacted everything within a (convenient) timespan of four months. An incredibly rare martial arts style in Olympus and from what he noticed, most of the Shinsekai, Alexander trained under the Pirate and Bishokuya mentors for the next few months. Undergoing intense meditation and simultaneous physical training, as well as being brought to entirely different environments in the same portion of the island, Alexander, through the tutoring of the Pirate mentor and the Bishokuya mentor, studied and mastered the Life Return technique.

His Gourmet Cells had already transformed his already superhuman body to levels that could be considered superhuman even for superhumans, but Alexander needed to get even stronger. Training in the arts of Life Return, Alexander has followed the path of the Sennin in these regards, enabling him to harness and control every part of his body. While this technique was already incredibly dangerous and versatile in the hands of others, in the hands of a Bishokuya, this technique is perhaps matched only by Enbu of the Monkey King. Controlling every hair, every cell, and cell wall, and capable of concentrating their senses and stretching them to their utmost limits, Alexander has been known to utilize this technique with incredible efficiency. Alexander can harness these powers in several manners, for example, dominating the very will of even his Gourmet Cells and regular cells to follow a very particular goal. According to Misumi, the learning of Life Return is Alexander's first step towards his unavertable future.

* **Regular Applications of Life Return:**
	+ **Deathstrike:**Alexander can harness his ability control every aspect of his being to force his nails to grow incredibly sharp and long in homage to his soul-brother, Caranus, allowing him to in turn combine it with his abilities to cut through objects or launch them as projectiles to skewer his opponents, nails growing back incredibly quickly due to his regenerative prowess and the abundance of nutrients to naturally do so his body possesses at all times.
	+ **Supression:** Alexander can utilize his control over his endocrinic glands to generate endorphins, inhibiting the level of pain he can actually feel, while relying on Kenbunshoku Haki to show him just how much damage he has actually taken. This allows him to fight on despite attacks specifically meant to induce indescribable amounts of pain, or punch through, say, vast levels of fire (assuming his durability, regeneration, and then adapatation to heat and fire would somehow not protect him from that.)
	+ **Ingest, Assimilate:**Taking his body beyond what is usually considered possible by most, Alexander's level of Food Honour becomes truly remarkable, as Alexander is capable of eating even that which cannot regularly be consumed while simultaneously absorbing all the nutrients that could be seen within that which is then further exponentialized by his Food Honour and Immersion techniques. Allowing him to say, consume wood and metallic objects, Alexander seems to be capable of eating all things, giving him the epithet of the **Hypervore**.
	+ **Digest, Absorb**: Through the use of this technique, Alexander can instantly absorb all the nutrients of anything within his alimentary canal, even if logically it would not fit within his body due to it's sheer mass, allowing him to consume with no waste and no complications, pretty much anything.
* **Awakening:** Alexander can use this power to send his Gourmet Cells into co-ordination and alignment, and in some terms, harness the power of his Appetite Demon and force it into co-operation. This vastly increases Alexander's willpower as each cell is partly sentient yet apart of him, while similarly enhancing every aspect of his being. From reinforcing his aura nodes to allowing him to harness the power of his Food Honour at full power, Alexander's awakening technique is definitely no joke. Gaining a purple ethereal flare, Alexander is said to have forced his Appetite Devil to possess him in this state, and then conquered it in turn, a power not held by many Bishokuya, and something he might have never achieved without Life Return, while granting the power to back up his improved will. Fat within his body is quickly converted into muscle. With his skill over Life Return, and due to the fact that he is technically not transforming, this ability is more of a passive transformation, and more accurately represents the progress he has made over the four year timeskip.
	+ **Adaptations:** By harnessing the power of Life Return and applying it to cells so utterly adaptive to various environments, in tandem with the incredibly rigourous and meditative training required to obtain the Life Return technique, Alexander is capable of forcing his cells to levels of adapations they would perhaps never be capable of regularly, even beyond that of what a regular user of Life Return would possibly be capable of achieving. However, while it requires the usage of the Life Return technique to get his body to "react" to sitat
		- **Shivering:**Alexander has demonstrated the ability to forcefully call upon adapatations his Gourmet Cells have made or are capable of making, and Shivering is no exception. Resisting even the coldest and most frigid of temperatures, Alexander is capable of defrosting himself at incredible speeds and even cause ice around him to melt. With his unmatched metabolism further supplemented by Life Return's ability to assimilate absolutely all nutrients from food that one might have eaten/consumed almost immediately, as well as Food Immersion's ability to pour nutrients into one's body almost limitlessly, Alexander has demonstrated the power to shiver for extraordinarily vast periods of time, so much so that he can apply the massive levels of heat generated in combat quite often.
		- **Heat:**After awakening his dormant Appetite Demon forcefully, Alexander demonstrates, in tandem with Life Return, the ability to adapt to enormously high-temperatures, stopping his body from releasing excess amounts of water, as well as force his Gourmet Cells, unburdened by the pressures of possessing destructible telomeres to continuously divide at vast rates, abandoning his burning and charred skin and forming new skin at that rate. Additionally, Alexander is capable of sweating out vast amounts of moisture to stop his body from rising, though this might cause quite the amount of energy loss, though this is combatted by Life Return's ability to intake energy exceedingly rapidly.
		- **Diseases:**Alexander's Gourmet Cells, as well as his regular cells which have in turn been amalgamated with his Gourmet Cells in recent years, has demonstrated a near unmatched ability to get rid of disease, his immune system along with his incredible regenerative prowess fighting intruders off with utmost efficiency. A will that Alexander does not consciously control, Alexander's usage of Life Return has enabled him to spur his Gourmet Cells into assisting against the fight against diseases, and in tandem with their near-indefinite division rate, have his Gourmet Cells consume and destroy diseases at an unparalleled rate only further augmented by their notable nigh-impregnability to disease.
		- **Phytoncide:**
		- **Blending:**
		- **Sleep:**Not allowing himself to sleep as it would take away from the time he had to learn and perfect Life Return, Alexander's will and his burgeoning ability to control every aspect of his physiology resulted in him being able to force his Gourmet Cells to assimilate and produce energy out of his foods much more efficiently, letting his body grow much more rapidly. This enhanced level of efficiency allows Alexander to go a week without sleeping once getting two hours in, with his vartion of being an insomniac or simply pushing it allowing him to stay up for at bare minimum two weeks.
		- **Lactic Acid:** While this might be a weird thing to see on a list of adapatations, Alexander is capable of having his Gourmet Cells respire like they would in the physiology of an appetite demon, each individual Gourmet Cell respiring/inhaling/exhaling rather than just his lungs themselves. Combined with his already superhuman lungs, Alexander is capable of intaking massive amounts of air to the point that exhalation seems to occur with the force of a jet, and a type of breathing Alex has had to restrain to using only in combat. This deep level of breathing allows him to vastly supplement his power and striking force in combat to the point where his formerly concussive shockwaves become bone shattering impressions of force. Alternatively, he can choose not to do this, and have his body respire aerobically for vast periods of time, greatly enhancing his physical stamina. In addition, this ability to breathe through his very cells grants him the unique ability to breathe underwater and take in oxygen directily into his body. Hisu lung capacity is considered to be so vast that an uncontrolled deoxygenated exhalation is capable of killing persons due to the sheer levels of carbon dioxide he can actually emit, poisoning them,
	+ **Gourmet Powers:**
		- **​Augmented Senses:**Due to Alexander's Gourmet Cells determining that Alexander lived the life of a Hunter and that his abilities were fundamentally linked to such his first evolution of his Gourmet Cells was one that took his senses to the next level, a great advantage for any natural hunter. Because of this, Alexander has demonstrated supernatural being-class augmented senses, hearing sounds above and below the regular hearing range as well as focusing on the source of emanation, as well as prove capable of tasting the air to learn about the environment, as well as even feel the slightest indentations on an otherwise smooth wall. However, strangely enough, Alexander is not overly sensitive to these stimuli as well, which is a mechanism yet to be explained about his cells.
			* **​Superhuman Smell:**Alexander, through the usage of Life Return to firstly grant his Gourmet Cells enough nutrients to evolve and then aid in their evolution, relying on the fact that they adapt and evolve in the presence of incredible nutrition, and then tell them all to evolve.  This incredible level of smell allows him now to trace a large number of animals that might have passed a singular location and even gone different directions, and even trace back incredibly faint scents as long as the original location remains. Alexander can read to some extent one's ancestry and even their favourite foods with a mild whiff.Alexander possesses incredible superhuman smell due to his Gourmet Cells. He uses his highly developed sense of smell in order to gather information. For example, he can determine if a female is pregnant by the faint scent of amniotic fluid. He is even capable of detecting pheromones with his sense of smell. He can use smell alone to fight in complete darkness. With it, he can also detect and smell the the dormant tears within someone's tear ducts, and tell what kind of food someone has eaten via their breath or sweat. In addition, his sense of smell is good enough to pick up the hormones emitted by a liar, or even notice inconsistencies between an illusion and the real world, allowing him to know he is an illusion and fight accordingly. If blinded, his sense of smell is good enough that he can "see" with his eyes closed, and even detect the adrenaline levels of an opponent, in essence smelling their level of killing intent.
		- **Appetite Demon:***Alexander has not achieved control over this ability, and it should be noted that the mildest manifestation of this ability can theoretically cause his Appetite Demon to possess that body part. That being said, happy reading.*Through the natural and forceful awakening brought
		- **Pyrokinesis:**The full manifestation of his Gourmet Cells' adapatation to temperature extremes, Alexander has demonstrated an ability to control heat and fire, allowing him to freely manipulate his body temperature as well as set his entire body on fire with little to no actual effect on his body. Becoming one with and in charge of an environment that might have been dangerous to you (high-temperature environments) makes it easier for you to hunt and grants another method of hunting, and a great hunter has several methods of hunting. Burning with a brilliant blue flame, if combined with his previous attainance of Shivering, Alexander can become infused with truly immense levels of thermal energy. Finally possessing an ability that can work alongside the completely physical combat that is his trademarked style, Alexander's striking power is greatly augmented as well as enables him to fight from a distance much better than before. From producing shields of fire, to removing poisons from around his system, to augmenting his strikes and giving him a reason to use a blade.
			* **Strong Flame**

			* **Mirage**
			* **Water Strider**
		- **Animal Kingdom:**Ever since losing his powers to utilize the aura of the Huntsman occupation, Alexander has instead had Life Return amplify his natural animal empathy abilities, demonstrating the ability to summon down wild beasts and creatures to enable him, as well as communicate with them. However, it 's not simply this, Alexander is known for blending in with any given group of animals and falling into their social hiearchy due to assimilate in any given group of animals, having fallen in way more easily than  most humans, even those favoured by the Wolf King, to his pack. His abilities are also known to let him communicate over distances stretching many miles/kilometres mentally, and understanding the emotions and nature of animals without even utilizing Kenbunshoku Haki. In fact, Alexander has been known to be able to seemingly cause stampedes to emerge from nowhere onto his attackers and ask animals to fetch things for him, even influence insects to destroy or pollinate specific crops and link his senses with their own. He has a notable talent in pacifying most beasts, a trait which extends even to the powers of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, having even the most agressive of Zoan wielding opponents having to resist the urge to become docile and calm around him. Due to the recent ascension of Alexander's animal-based powers and that of his Gourmet Cells which allow him to have the potential to become an apex predator, Alexander is known to tap into a unique force known as *The Red*, a force which pervades seemingly all animal life that exists in the universe. Alexander's Gourmet Cells naturally resonate at the same level as this Force, enabling him to harness the powers of animal manipulation and communication, and most recently, mimicry. At the end of his training on Storm Island, it was revealed that due to his unique and incredible potential, the purpose for him continuing to be trained after Life Return was for him to actualize that potential and become empowered by the forces of the Red, drawing upon the powers of any animal he can think about and strengthening himself with it, as well as naturally allows him to think up animals that might be useful for the particular situation intuitively. His favourite animal to channel being the Tardigrade, Alexander gains an unnatural level of survivability, with things like poisons, radiation, lack of oxygen, and even temperature.
			* **Animal Kingdom: Connection to the Red:**In a similar sense to the second component of the Counter Force, Alaya, Alexander is capable of harnessing the natural energies and powers of all animals to have ever existed provided they are not rendered something which moght be considered directly human, enabling him to utilize the energies resultant of the global communities to actually empower his strikes, as well as create constructs out of raw animal-based energies, however, the Red also has roots in the component of Gaia due to most beasts and animals still remaining with Gaia. He has demonstrated the ability to create force-fields out of the Red, as well as produce claws or swords out of the energy, often intimidating his opponents through the sheer existence of the Red's creations. He has also been known to utilize this power to leave imprints of animal-like behaviour on human beings, causing them to run wild or alternatively, lose their ability to harness human intelligence. This level of command is due to his influence and reputation in the Animal Kingdom of the world, as well as his unique cellular make-up. Due to his ability to consume almost all things and due to the near limitless level of energy capable of being provided by the the Red, he can assimilate into his being and produce truly large amounts of nutrients out of apparently nothingness. Alexander is capable of even healing organisms through this connection to the Red, and is considered to have started his journey to become the blonde-haired Food Sage.

#### *Seven Heavens Breathing Method*

Alexander, was born with and developed, without the use of any additional powers, an unimaiginably gargantuan lung capacity over the years, demonstrating an unparalleled ability to take in air due to his unique form of respiration, and this power is said to be akin to the concept of Breathing and Walking that lays within the powers of Magecraft, an entirely different occupation. While Alexander was capable of learning how to respire throughout all of his Gourmet Cells and Cells in a similar manner to the respiration process of an Appetite Devil themselves, Alexander was caapble of recreating a unique taijutsu method built specifically to enable the user to fight opponents capable of accessing the Eight Gates, but instead of using chakra, they used lung capacity. Now with the obscene level of breathing Alexander was capable of prior, Alexander was capable of recreating the unique ability such as the Seven Heavens Breathing Method, focused on increasing one's lung capacity in a manner that is synchonous and beneficial for taijutsu. Most, if not all Bishokuya worth their salt, demonstrate an enormous lung capacity, enabling them to stay underneath water for extended periods of time, and allows them to use the oxygen in their body incredibly effectively, though in Alexander's case, his level is unique to his own breathing. Theoretically, this means Alex can stay in environments without air for incredible periods of time, for example, even space.

The Seven Heavens Breathing Method is a particular taijutsu breathing method that drastically amplifies the superhuman physical traits of any given organism who have the capacity and the power to utilize such a technique, as he gathers up an amazing level of oxygen which increases his "lung capacity" fourfold, granting similar strength to the Eight Gates, with even the changes to one's body and physiology looking pretty alike. Due to his body's capacity to hold in oxygen unlike anyone else, Alexander is capable of accessing all the way up to at the bare minimum, the seventh activation, as even the creator of this technique was incapable of utilizing the seventh activation.

Much like the Eight Gates, this technique has several stages or **"activations"|活性|kassei**:

1. The **first activation|第一活性|daiichi kassei** causes Shira's eyes to go completely white and he starts to give off a yellow aura.
2. The **second activation|第二活性|daini kassei** causes his body to expand slightly, his muscles becoming distinctly more prominent.
3. The **third activation|第三活性|daisan kassei** causes his skin to go red and appears roughly equivalent to the Gate of Life.

### *Berserk*

People born in Hera can tap into his or her innermost fears, pain and hate, and convert them into an intense rage. The user can then channel the anger to increase his or her own speed, strength, and ferocity. However, the body cannot not handle such rage for long periods of time, so the user becomes greatly weakened for some time after the rage subsided. It is known as Berserk.

* **Mantra: Limitation:** Can only be utilized while Berserk is active, and cannot be used unless Alex is capable of tapping into vast reserves of anger to trigger Berserk, albeit Beserk has actually been proven to bestow one with the prerequisite anger. Greatly amplifying the potency of his aura in a similar manner to good chakra control increases chakra potency, the user is granted dramatically improved physical power, overwhelmingly powerful screams without even tapping into Nen, and an exponential upgrade of the Asura ability. This technique is fueled by one’s anger/the anger of allies/anger of enemies (best derived from allies). This makes his Berserk ability exponentially powerful, theoretically allowing him to fight on par with enemies who should outclass him, or in a sense, being his Dragon Force. Due to the unique limitation, it siphons off the excess rage of Berserk, allowing the user to not be as drastically weakened as one would expect. The drawback is that the damage done by both techniques is equally split across the user’s body and Nen. In addition, aura can be fired from his fists in powerful bursts, and this ability is alternatively referred to by himself as **Hunting Spirit.**

### *Fighting Style*

Alexander is a largely physical fighter, using his physical attributes along with Nen to dominate his opponents at close range, and attack multiple opponents simultaneously/rain down hell on a single opponent. As such, he has invented a fighting style he refers to as Asura's Fist, being able to utilize several arms at a time in fluid motion. When not using the more rapid, brawling like attacks of the style, Alexander can utilize his multiple arms to produce some of the most unpredictable attacks that the world will ever know, using his arms to attack and defend, while disarming in a fluid style akin to physical waterbending. Alexander is extremely skillful in multiple forms of martial arts, to the point he was able to kill several fully grown individuals at the age of twelve during an ambush, and leave with nothing with a few scrapes ad bruises, wearing naught but normal clothes. He was trained by his father subsequently, and grew his fighting prowess even further.
