**Alexander the Great** is a fighter for the humans in Ragnarkok with the title of "History's Most Ambitious Man". By the age of 30, Alexander created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas. Undefeated in battle during his lifetime he is held up as one of history's greatest military commanders.

## Appearance

He is a man of below average height and an incredibly muscular body. His eyes are bright red and his hair seems to be brown with a reddish tint. He is fair-skinned and wears clothing comprised of brown leather, fur, and red cloth without any armor plating.

## Backstory

Alexander is the son of Philip II, King of Macedon, and Olympias, his fourth wife. While pregnant with Alexander, Olympias was struck by lightning sent down by Perkons, the Baltic god of thunder to kill Alexander before he would ever be born. The god managed to leave a scar on Olympias, but Alexander was unscathed leading to Olympias believing her son was destined for greatness. On July 20, 356 BC, Alexander III was born. Throughout his childhood, Alexander would be told the lightning story by his mother constantly and she would tell him that he was destined or great things so "fulfill all of your ambitions." Alexander would take all of his mother's words to heart and would use all of his power to accomplish every ambition that he had.

First, Alexander wanted to learn how to fight in battle so he trained for years under the harshest conditions to attain a physique that would rival the gods. Then, he wanted a horse so he tamed one said to be untamable. Due to this accomplishment, Philip said to his son: "My boy, you must find a kingdom big enough for your ambitions. Macedon is too small for you." Next, Alexander trained his mind by tutoring under Aristotle. All of this turned Alexander into a military powerhouse with the body of the perfect soldier and the mind of a great general.

After his father's death, Alexander became king. Remembering his father's words, Alexander decided to create a kingdom big enough to match his ambitions. He would lead multiple military campaigns that would allow him to conquer land after land until Alexander ruled one of the largest empires in the ancient world stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas at the age of 30. This is where Alexander III gained the title of "Alexander the Great."

During a party that Alexander was having in his victory, his wine was spiked with poison as it was the only way that anyone could think of defeating Alexander. After learning this, Alexander continues to drink the poisoned wine and says that he's grown bored of this life and will find a new ambition in the afterlife. Alexander succumbs to the poison's effects on June 10, 323 BC at the age of 32.

## Personality

Alexander is a man who's self-centered. He doesn't let anyone decide what he does expect for himself and the moment that he decides to do something no one can stop him. He encourages everyone to do the same and follow their dreams.

## Writer's Notes

This is my depiction of Alexander the Great. At first, I didn't want to do Alexander because he's an obvious one. However, the backstory and his title as "History's Most Ambitious Man" worked so well that I felt like I needed to put him in. The hardest part was choosing his weapon. That's why it's something that can change shape to become all the ideas that I was throwing around. I feel like it fits because he wants everything so his weapon can become anything. I would love to hear feedback.
