Hair Color: Brown
Physical Appearance:What happens when you combine natural, noble, handsomeness with a few years of traveling and too many nights spent in bar fights? You get the rugged, weathered, bastard that is Alexander. Standing at six foot two, Alex is the sort of man who would fit in perfectly with a high-class crowd and, at the same time, is the sort of person you see yelling at a wall in a bar. Currently, the Quincy looks like a mess. He’s often said to stink, he rarely ever stands up straight and just about always looks like he can barely keep his eyes open. He looks tired and as if he has a hangover. He often walks with his shoulders slumped or his head leaning forward, as if he can barely support the weight of his own head.
When you get down to it there is no denying that Alex is handsome. He has a well-designed face that is, sadly, nearly always kept in some sort of frown or scowl. His hair is dark brown in color, brushed backward and ending in spiky tips in true “anime fashion”. What’s more, he has long bangs that drip down the sides of his face. On to more details. His eyes are a cool, blue, color that is similar to the surface of a lake. The man's jawline is covered in scruffy, poorly shaved, facial hair. The only blemish to his face is the long, old, scar that trails down from his forehead, down his left eye, and ends just an inch below his nose. When required to comment about his scar he’ll refer to it as a “beauty mark”.
As stated before, Alexander stands a little over six foot tall. He’s a well-built man at his peak. Beneath his clothing is a well-toned body that is ripped with muscle. A few scars dot his skin here and there, but they’re not really anything of note. Just a physical history of his life. Alexander often walks with a slumped posture and lowered shoulders, as if he is always being pushed down by stress. On top of this, the man always looks tired. He always looks like he doesn’t want to be there.
Despite the time that he lives in, Alexander prefers to dress rather traditionary. The man is often seen wearing a tunic that you typically wouldn't be seeing in this time period. The collars of his shirt are high standing. He has what looks like two shoulder pads on the outside of his shirt that connect together with two belt straps that form an X across his chest. He also wears fur bracers. There are two points of interest on his shirt that need to be pointed out. The first is the symbol of the Vandenreich that he wears on his back. The second is a smaller symbol that is worn over his heart, the symbol of the Alistair family. Alexander is, more often than not, seen wearing a large fur cloak when he is out and about traveling.
When he wishes the dress a little more modern, Alex decides to go all out. He'll most often be seen in a long red duster jacket. He'll often wear a black shirt under his jacket. He'll wear black pants with a belt that has a large metal belt buckle right there in the center. He'll wear boots over the pant legs. He'll also finish this outfit by wearing fingerless gloves. He prefers to be both inconspicuous and stylish at the same time. Other times he might just wear a suit, or simple collared shirts with holster straps.
Alex's reiatsu is also, similarly, unique to him. Alexander's reiatsu, when it appears, is rather ominous in appearance and color. It rises off him like steam, like an ominous odor. Black in color with blue outlines, Alex's reiatsu comes off as very forbodding and nerve racking. He's not often one that is angered, so there is a sinister calmness to his reiatsu that is almost like when someone is standing in the eye of a hurricane. It brings about the feeling of death, as if Alexander is the grim reaper himself. Like death is just a play thing in his fingers.✚ PERSONALITY ✚
Alignment: Rebel Neutral
Likes:
✚ Pizza - Honest to the Emperor, this is the greatest cuisine ever created in human history. Alexander loves pizza. He is next to obsessed with pizza. Promising him pizza as a reward, or as a incentive, is a sure fire way of getting this Quincy to do exactly what you want. This man is the sort of man who will order pizzas all day and eat just because he’s bored. He can never get enough of it.
✚ Fine dining - Growing up in a noble household, Alexander was commonly given luxurious and expensive foods for meals. He still enjoys fine dining to this day, and always wants to sample something new and rare.
✚ Hadrian - He's a nice guy. While his view of the Vandenreich is foolish, Alexander can't help but appreciate that there is someone around who isn't an asshole. He’s also, oddly enough, like one of the only guys Alex seems to be able to find walking around. The Vandenreich is a big Taco Tuesday.
✚ His beard - Alex likes to rub his hand up and down his chin to feel his beard. He likes having a beard. He says it makes him look mature, handsome, and chiseled. He actually hates it when people tell him to shave and will refuse to do so. You either love him with a beard or you ain't good enough for him.
✚ Travelling - He likes to see the world and different cultures of people. Unfortunately, everywhere he goes seems to be some rainy, goat fucker filled village in the middle of goddamn nowhere.
✚ Peacocks - They're beautiful birds. Not much else beyond that.
✚ Mountains - Having grown up in Southern Wales, mountains were no strange sight for the young Quincy. He's always wanted to climb to the top of one and see the world below.
✚ Kids - Sweet, innocent, and always wanting to learn, Alexander gets along rather well with kids. Maybe it's because he's a big kid himself.
✚ The Rukongai - He actually likes going to the Rukongai when he can. The simpler lifestyle they have there appeals to him and even relaxes him. He also likes the bars. The sake is definitely nice. The Shinigami and Hollows are annoying though, and the gang members stink.
✚ Taking Baths - Alexander is a bit of a clean freak, so he has a tendency to take long baths and lots of showers. He loves taking scalding hot bubble baths though. It lets him unwind and really remember that he came from a noble house, even if they were a warrior dynasty. Have we mentioned he hates being dirty? Though taking hot baths for too long as often caused him to pass out on his bathroom floor.
✚ Flirting - Alex is a flirt. When he sees a nice looking lady that catches his attention he’ll home in like a torpedo. He’s also a really bad flirt. So he usually ends up getting slapped.
✚ Gambling - While his luck is atrocious, Alex loves making bets and playing cards. It’s exciting. He loves the thrill and excitement of it all. Though he does hate the disappointment when he loses. You win some you lose some.
✚ The Cold - He prefers the cold that the heat. While he's not crazy about it, Alex doesn't mind the cold. You can escape the cold. If Alex is feeling chill he can put on more clothes or eat something hot. You can escape cold, not the heat.
Dislikes:
✚ Construction Noises - So loud and so noisy. They're just simply a bother. Alex really doesn't like the sound of large machines, screaming saws, or jackhammers smashing their way into concrete. He also doesn't like them being in the way. The crews that is.
✚ Complaints - Alexander doesn't like listening to complaints. The time spent to groan could be used to better your situation so you that you won't complain anymore. Ironic, though, since Alex has a tendency to complain about things to.
✚ Being seen as weak - As an Alistair, and as a man, and as a Quincy, Alexander absolutely detests being seen as weak. It's one of those things that will actually get under the smiling Quincies skin. Ever since he could remember he has been training, one way or another, in order to fight the demonic legions of Hell. So when he has all that effort insulted...well Alex might just end up hurting the person.
✚ The rain - He really doesn't like getting caught out in it. His work takes him to some of the most unpleasant places in the world and the rain only ends up making them worse. The rain also makes mud and Alex really doesn't like the mud.
✚ Shinigami - So despite being a Quincy, Alex doesn't dislike the Shinigami because of the typical reasons a Quincy would. He dislikes the Shinigami because of how incompetent they are at their jobs. If Soul Society were better able to monitor and prevent things from escaping Hell, then Alex's family would actually still be alive. Also, he's not into dead chicks.
✚ Hollows - He's a Quincy. The entire purpose behind the creation of the Quincy was so humans could fight back against these monsters. Just makes sense that he would not like them.
✚ Nakabakki Quincy - Alexander detests the fact that Hell is a thriving ecosystem. What's more, he is disgusted at the thought that the pure blood of the Quincy could, at all, be corrupted by the seed of a denizen of Hell. For the Emperor and his family, Alexander will see these monsters put down.
✚ Yappy dogs - They're very yappy and annoying. While their bravery is commendable, it's born from utter stupidity.
✚ Saika - Honestly the easiest of the Hell races to kill, but still incredibly dangerous and annoying. They're sinners. Humans who have committed grave and evil sins and have been warped and twisted into these mutations of their past selves. Time to die.
✚ Hason - Hason are especially bad. They're what you think of, typically, when you imagine a monster in Hell. They're one of the biggest threats that the Alistairs, and Alex, dealt and deal with.
✚ Nakabakki - While he has a big dislike for Naka Quincy, Alex in general just doesn't like Nakabakki. Once upon a time, long long ago, the Alistairs used tokidnapadopt Nakabakki's that they found. They would thenbeattrain these halfbreeds until they were strong enough to beforcedpersuaded into performing the Purification Ritual to purge their demonic halves. Not many Alistairs did this. Most just killed Naka's on site. But there was one incident that caused the Alistair's to abandon this practice and just KOS Nakabakki.
✚ Akki - The most terrifying demons of Hell. Despite generations of demon hunting, the Alistair family has only encountered Akki three times. They failed to stop one, requiring the Shinigami to intervene. The second they pushed back. The third was the one the family can claim to have killed. The third Akki had been a Nakabakki that the Alistair's had been trying to save from its demonic heritage. Instead of accepting humanity, the bastard chose to instead embrace what they were. Seven Alistairs died in that battle.
✚ Dirty Clothes - Alex hates getting his clothes dirty. He hates getting them damaged as well. He actually goes to some rather extreme lengths to keep his clothes from getting muddy or ruined.
✚ Training - He's done enough training for his lifetime when he was a kid. Alex actually hates training of any kind. He'd rather laze about eating pizza or be out hunting demons. Trying to get him to go training with you is like getting a tooth pulled for him.
✚ Converting - So...while he's certainly capable of doing it Alex isn't actually a big fan of converting people. It depends on the person. But Alex will never convert a Shinigami into a Quincy. He's someone who is big on loyalty and detests traitors. A Shinigami joining the Vandenreich is someone who is a coward, and is someone who is fine with throwing their comrades under the bus. Alex doesn't want someone like that around. They can't be trusted. He'll actually just tell them he's going to convert them only to just shoot them in the heart instead.
Habits:
✚ Hot Baths - When not at work or training, Alexander enjoys taking hot, scalding, baths. He can end up taking them for so long, however, that he'll end up passed out on the floor.
✚ Dining - He enjoys fine dining. He enjoys trying out new things. While his favorite food will always be pizza, he enjoys sampling the most expensive things out there.
✚ Eating Pizza - When Alex isn't doing anything, you'll probably find him in his room eating pizza.
✚ Stroking his chin - He likes the feel of his beard. You'll often see the man rubbing his chin when he's thinking or if he's just bored.
✚ Vacations - Alexander likes to go on extended "missions" into the human world. Often times, someone will have to go get him. (This is usually Priscilla).
✚ Goofing off - Alexander is very lazy. He likes to take naps.
✚ Flirting - As a natural born respecter of women, Alexander loves spending his time in the company of incredibly beautiful women. Both with clothes on and without.
✚ Drinking - He doesn't have a drinking problem until he runs out.
Flaws:
✚ Can't read cursive - Yeah there...is no explaining this one. He can write it just fine just...he can't read it very well for some reason. Alex often skipped his families English lessons in pursuit of improving his combat capabilites. Skipping these lessons has cost him in the end.
✚ Prideful - As a man who has dedicated so much of his life to training in hopes of gaining power to ensure the accomplishment of the Emperor's goals, being seen as weak by anyone is an insult to Alexander's pride. He has much pride in his strength.
✚ Never shuts up - Well, as the Vandenreichs jester it would only make sense for the Quincy to keep talking right? Alex is almost never without some stupid quip or joke to say about the situation. It makes him very annoying for some people.
✚ Womanizer - Alex is a flirt. He'll flirt with nearly any woman. The mans loves women. He respects them. He wants to sleep with them. Sex is fun. However, Alex is a bit of a bad flirt. Women don't typically play along with his little games and it usually ends in him getting slapped.
✚ Bad gambler - Despite the fact that he loves to do it, Alex is actually just really bad at gambling. His luck is a 1/10 so he will, nine times out of ten, always lose in any sort of gambling game.
✚ Doesn't like to train - Alexander really hates training. Because he fails to keep up with his practicing, he ends up falling behind others. But because Alexander is just full of natural talent, he doesn't need to train. He's already perfect.
Fears:
✚ Failing the Emperor - With his devotion and love for the Emperor being as strong as it is, it makes complete sense that Alexander fears failing his God. He failed once before and it nearly destroyed him, but the Emperor's forgiveness was what saved him from despair. Alexander aims to never fail his Majesty again.
✚ The Vandenreich losing - While it is impossible, the idea of the Vandenreich losing unerves Alexander. He has trouble seeing them losing, considering the number of powerful individuals within its ranks and the fact that they are lead by a living god. If the Vandenreich loses, then the human world won't have a powerful force to face against the denizens of Hell. Alex will be left all alone.
✚ Fire - When Alex was a child, when the Alistair family home was first attacked, he awoke to find his room in a blaze. Trapped in a burning room with choking smoke, skin cracking heat, and the fear of burning alive filling him, Alex has sense been afraid of fire. Not candles, campfires, or anything like that. Large blazes scare him.
✚ Dying - Alex is afraid of dying. If he dies then he fails. If he fails then the Alistairs are gone. If the Alistairs are gone then Hell wins.
Goals:
✚ Enact the Wahrwelt - The ultimate goal of all the Vandenreich. Create a world without death, where nobody has to suffer anymore. A world where there aren't any crying children anymore.
✚ Find the Hason called "Diablo" - When Alexander was twelve the forces of Hell marched upon the Alistair manor. A small army of Saika and Hason, all working together to see that the family of demon hunters became extinct. How such a force came together, and how they all escaped Hell together, is a mystery that Alexander seeks to solve. But what he truly seeks is the Hason that lead the attacking force.
✚ Eradicate / Seal off Hell - Hell is neccessary to exist. Alexander understands this. What the Alistair wants, though, is to see if it's possible to seal off any sort of exit from Hell. He wants the monsters of the underworld to finally stop coming out. It's supposed to be an eternal prison. Or the Vandenreich could always just blow it up. Turn it to dust. That would be fine too.
✚ Revive the Alistair's - As the last of his clan, Alexander wants to do the right thing and bring his family back. While it's impossible to ressurect them, he wants the family to live. On to do that, he needs a wife and a kid. Not like that's going to happen anytime soon.
Overall Personality:Alright, so what sort of man is Alexander? Well...it really depends on when you catch him. Firstly, let’s delve into the core elements of Alex’s personality. Alexander Alistair is a man who upholds his family motivations and creed to the best of his ability. Despite the hardships and trials in his life, Alexander always strives to carry out the ideals of the Alistair family...as best as he can. However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have some flaws. But, first, let’s go over just what exactly the ideals of the Alistair's are. This family of Quincy was unlike any others. While all the other clans dealt with the ever-present threat of Hollows, the Alistair's focused on the insidious danger of Hell. They were the hunters of the monsters that escaped the eternal prison. They traversed the dark places that others feared to tread in search of the abominations that lay hidden in our world.
The Alistair’s did not see themselves as heroes. Though they fought for humanity's sake, they did not seek praise, approval, or recognition for their actions. They were secretive, quiet, and kept to themselves. Despite the eradication of the family, Alexander still upholds these values. At his core, Alexander still believes in the core ideals of the Alistair: protecting and fighting for the people of the living world. The battle with the Shinigami is, in a way, irrelevant to him. If he is ordered to or required to fight against a Shinigami he won’t hesitate but unlike many other Quincy, he holds no hatred or grudge towards the black-robed spirits. It’s disappointment and agitation he feels instead. The Alistair's did not receive eradication from the Shinigami, after all. They were the ones doing their jobs.
As the last living member of this once powerful family, Alexander lives to uphold the ideals and values of his family. Fight for the people against the monsters of Hell. How he does so, though, is entirely up to him. So, what is Alexander like? Well, he is...not what you might expect. When someone tells you about Alex and they reveal the fact he is a demon hunting member of the Vandenreich one wouldn’t be faulted for imagining a brooding, angsty, edgy character with a constant scowl on his face. Well ...that isn’t Alex. In fact he might just be the opposite of that.
”Hell feeds on negativity. Fear, hate, despair. It drinks them like a parched man in a desert. I won’t give them that. I’ve chosen to give them the very opposite of what they want.”
Alex is best described as a clown. He’s a fun loving, quip spitting, positive dude who would be right at home on the west coast. In a world filled with brooding edgelords, Alexander stands apart by being a refreshing change of pace. While being over a hundred years old, Alexander still behaves as though he’s a child sometimes. Make no mistake though. He might act like a kid at times but he is, in fact, a fully functioning adult. Alex always finds a way to turn any situation into some sort of show. Cracking jokes during a major villains monologue, replying with very bad puns, or just never taking the situation at hand seriously, all of this and more is the main crux of his personality. He’s a clown.
Alex is incredibly flippant. He has a habit of casually mouthing off to even his most powerful enemies, and will even show off or taunt his adversaries as much as he can. Alex displays a fearless, almost disinterested, attitude towards incredibly dangerous situations. He is almost never without a witty taunt or comeback. Sometimes, though, this personality and attitude makes Alexander come off as callous and uncaring. However, as an Alistair, Alex has a very strong sense of justice. He will always put others before himself when it comes to protecting the innocent and weak from the monsters of Hell. Though, he will never shut up while doing it.
However, all of this is nothing more than a coping mechanism. Behind the smile and beneath the jokes, Alexander is actually a sad and broken man. His home, his family, his everything had been taken from him at a young, impressionable, age that it left him scarred. Alexander’s personality is a coping mechanism to deal with the overwhelming depression and anger that the man keeps hidden. He does a pretty good job hiding it, but Alexander has a hatred for the denizens of Hell that is similar to a fire wanting to burn everything around him. He is single-minded in his pursuit to destroy anything and everything related to Hell. It was why he joined the Vandenreich. He felt that they would best assist him with this endeavor. The Quincy travels from one corner of the world to the other, searching for and rooting out evil where it hides.
On the plus side, though, Alexander highly values friendship and family. While he may no longer have his birth family, he regards his fellow Vandenreich soldiers as being akin to “distant brothers and sisters”. Alex is often rather kind to his fellow Quincy, though there are certainly a few he doesn’t really like. While his family may be gone, the Quincy still honors the families traditions and ideals. It is why, despite joining the Vandenreich, Alexander still chooses to hunt the monsters from Hell.
