Alex

## Personality

Alex is generally a laidback and playful fellow, often times found taking in local culture and cuisine while providing his own joy by being mischievous. Towards those close to him, he can be warm and personable, but towards others as arrogant, cruel and full of himself. He just wants to be himself, not interfering in others' business, doesn't care what they want, and ignores everything if it doesn't interest him. He is unwilling to moderate himself unless forced to under certain conditions or with his family. While a decent person, he can be amazingly petty, admiring both ruthlessness and ambition.

Alex places his family's well-being as a high priority, as they bring out the kinder and gentler side of himself, not hesitating to show them affection even if it is embarrassing. His active role in his siblings' lives gives him a sense of fulfillment and motivated him to learn how to fight. However, the darker aspects which often overrode his better qualities would make him decide to keep himself away as to not ruin their childhood, but nevertheless having them on his mind constantly.

While he is willing to talk things out, Alex is perfectly willing to fight and kill those who antagonize him. Battle provides him a sense of purpose and relief, as it releases from him what feels like a more primal and honest parts of himself, something he wants to share. While he has a cynical view of like and sees heroic codes as meaningless, he continues to fight for what he sees as improving himself, and still having some faith in the world and its beauty. He sometimes feels like he is the only one who cares if he is around those who are aware and reticent about the masquerade and how it is enforced.

## Powers & Abilities

While an above average combatant as he was trained the basics from a young age for discipline, his time in the Wildlands had greatly honed his combat prowess. Initially, his survival was due to combat support from the magician Bura Vati, but as time went on Alex would pick up and learn not only basics of magic, but also fighting instincts and hand-to-hand combat. While there, he learned and developed bowmanship for long-range, spearmanship for medium-range, and swordsmanship at close-range, but preferred the use of spears.

In addition to armed combat, he is proficient in unarmed combat and regularly working in martial arts (kicks, grapples, punches) in his fighting style. While willing to use magic, he prefers direct combat and will keep his other abilities in reserve and use the most efficient approach to victory.

* **Electrokinesis**: Due to the paralysis properties, Alex prefers the use of electricity to infuse into his attacks to either paralyze, or to conduct enough into his target to kill them by striking their blood.

* **Hunter's Mark**: Personal magic developed by Alex with the assistance of Bura, this spell marks his enemies so Alex can always know where they are and track them, or he can use it to make use he can always hit them. The downside for the spell's use is when tracking, he is unable to attack them until he removes it physically while when in combat, he can only focus on that single enemy and unable to attack anyone else.

### Equipment

* **Armour**: He adopts light armour that provides good protection while being mobile. It is often covered by his everyday clothing.
* **Summons Bracelet**: Another gift from Bura, it is an enchanted bracelet that allows the materialization of three specific weapons into the hand of which arm it is attached to. It is often abused by Alex by summoning his spear after throwing it over and over again, often forgoing the use of the bow and sword.
	+ **Spear**: His preferred weapon, it is 6 feet long enchanted spear that he often throws at target and re-summons them with his bracelet as they re-materialize into his hands. He additional uses the spear butt as a blunt weapon whenever he can.
	+ **Bow**: An enchanted bow that is often used to mark his target or attack from long ranged with magic arrows.
	+ **Sword**: His sword's handle can be used for one-handed or two-handed attacks. He can also use his sword sheath in combat as a blunt weapon.
