"Do I care about the problems of the world? *grins* Let's play a game for that answer shall we? "
The Biography
|
Birth Name: Alec
Aliases: The Observer (online), Ali
Gender: Male
Age: Appears to be 19, but is actually about 22 in age.
Birth Day: June 11
Arcana: Hermit
Place of Residence: San Marlarus
Academy Semester: Third Year...or at least he was pretending to be one until things hit the fan.
Class: NA
Sorority: Anime/Gaming Club
Part/Full Time Job: Runs a mom and pop general shop in Old Town. In reality, he is highly curious about the chaos that has happen and so treats it as a game to figure it all out.
Appearance:
- Alec Before Awakening:
Alec stands at 5'11", weighs about 190 lbs, and has fair skin. He is lean and athletic in build. Nicely toned suggesting he either is very active despite his hobbies or maybe even exercises. His dress wear is typically casual, even when attending school. He goes for jeans, a comfortable shirt, and shoes most of the time, but if he has to he will dress up if the occasion calls for it. His hair is blonde and kind of left to do what it will giving it an unruly look. To keep the strands that would get in his eye in place, he does wear hair clips in his hair. The color of these pins typically matches whatever color glasses he is wearing. His eyes are a shade of deep honey which are complimented by his glasses - which he switches out between a green, red, and blue pair. He typically favors the red pair though.
Awakened form:
- Alec and Chyrstill:
When the supernatural was unleashed in Azores, the events triggered memories that had long been surpassed to come forward in Alec's mind. The flood in turn broke the seal on the power hidden causing it to be released into the world. The process caused Alec to remember who he really was and in turn awoke the shadow within him. With the shadow awakened, his eyes shifted from honey brown to violet and his usually blonde hair turned white. While he doesn't necessarily need them, he still occasionally wears his glasses out of habit. Outside of this and his lean towards mostly black, the guy hasn't changed too much more.
Personality:
Alec is a strange character. Unlike everyone else who to be trying to figure out what is going on or stopping the chaos in Azores, he simply sits back and watches taking notes for some unknown purpose. He doesn’t seem to mind the fact that everything is in a chaotic state and in fact enjoys it, seeing the event as a much needed change up to an already dull game board. He does cross over to the other side; however, he doesn’t on the surface he doesn't seem like he is looking to interfere as he explores the new worlds to dig up information on them, their residents, and the creatures there and to ask why he is doing this, he would tell you it makes good story material for his managa he is working on. A lie that works on most who can not penetrate the truth behind that smile and playful attitude.
In reality, he is quite interested in the events and figuring out what is going on, its just that unlike everyone else who is all so serious about it all, he prefers to treat the event like a game with his challenges to himself being figuring out the big puzzle while staying alive and helping others. Though some would tell you that he is not dong that at all.
There are some that will tell you think that the kid is up to no go. Something that while not complete true, holds some reason to be caution of the guy. Sure, he may be a book worm in school, top all his classes, appear to be the biggest anime/gaming nerd in Azores, and actually wants to help others, but those traits cover up his love for the games he likes to play with other just to entertain himself. These games are harmless most of the time, but considering some can get one hurt, the victims usually don’t take kindly to this and typically lash out, something Alec finds more amusing than intimidating. In a nutshell, he a mischievous person.
However, this mischief is the only way he knows how to full act with people. Sure he can hold a normal conversation, but to get the attention he desires, the only way he knows how to get it is to act out. The thrills keeps him happy for a moment, but in the end wears off leaving him alone. The loneliness hurts, but he still holds on looking forward to the next big game. As far as love goes, he has almost completely given up on romance since he's gotten it into the mindset that there is no one out there that can handle him or if they claim they can, they quickly bounce off to the next wonderful thing as soon as their eyes look at it. Gender doesn’t matter as long as the one he falls for actually remains loyal to him and is actually committed to a serious relationship. He doesn’t have strict reins on the one he loves, but seriously he is quite tired of the player types. However, the door is never fully shut and if one were to try they’d find the guy is actually not as bad as he seems.
Despite first impressions underneath that playful exterior lies a man that is actually caring and kind. Those that he calls friend becomes the things he protects with his life. Yes, he is playful, but when needed to he can and will take the reins of a situation to make sure a job is done while keeping as many unharmed as possible. He knows when to be serious and if he messes up, he takes the fall and just gets up and dusts himself off before moving forward and growing from what he learned. He isn’t one to blame himself for things or wallow in self-pity. Honestly, he finds that a waste of time. Besides time on Earth is limited, so he much rather be using it to have fun and doing things.
In the end, Alec is a genuinely nice guy that is loyal to those he loves or calls friends. He loves a good game and simply doing as he please rather than trying to play hero or villain. While it is true he likes the world just the way it is, the reason he loves it so is because it gives him a different type of game to play.

The Potential
|
Strengths: (Anything your character is skilled in, such as Martial Arts/ Drawing/ etc? You are allowed a maximum of five strengths and a minimum of three.)
—Strength Name: Smart
—Description: Alec is book smart, tech savvy, and street smart also. His high intelligence keeps well ahead of most people and allows him to think in a strategic manner to better help him stay alive in situations and play the game that much longer. This also alows him to hack and tinker with machinery to gain access to information that otherwise could not be gained.
—Strength Name: Kind
—Description: Alec is a kind and caring individual despite his love for a game or two. He doesn't want to kill anyone and in the end will go out of his way to help someone if they are in need. Also, he has a motherly and open attitude making him likeable to most.
—Strength Name: Loyal
—Description: Alec is loyal to his friends and his love ones. He will not leave them behind and much rather see them safe than himself.
—Strength Name: Caring leader
—Description: Alec is confident and free natured most of the time, but it is this self sureness and his kindness that also makes him a good candidate for leading people. When push comes to shove, he takes the reins to ensure a job is completed in a safe and orderly fashion all the while keeping a smile on his face and relaxed attitude that the more panicky find comforting.
—Strength Name: Shadow Connection
—Description: Alec and his shadow are deeply connected to each other in such a way that if the shadow were to wander beyond 20 feet from him it would be instantly pulled back to his side. This connection allows the pair to exist as two separate beings and work together without the need of words. As for the forms, the shadow adapts to the situations at hand. It shifts into a human form during battle because unlike itself Alec does not fight physically. He sticks to magic, leaving the shadow to take on the physical portion with its acrobatics. The human form and its way of acting is pulled from memories of the training portion of when Alec was still in the labs. The fact that its gender is female may suggest that Alec relates more to that gender than the masculine side.
The dog form comes from the fact that Alec loves animals in particular the fox and wolf. Unable to find a clear picture of either in his memory, the shadow shifts into the fox like form, but carries some wolf traits like howling for example and also some domestic dog like traits, helping it blend in more or less. The last form is a form it takes when it cannot be in a physical form. It becomes a tattoo because Alec does have tattoos up and down his back from his days as a lab rat. The tattoos tell the story of his life and so being apart of that life story the shadow will shift into a fox like tattoo that blends in with the others. In a nutshell, it shifts thanks to the memories within Alec and its connection to him.

((A floating Strength is a strength you've gained inRP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)
—Floating Strength Name:
—Description:
Weaknesses: (You must have the same amount of weaknesses as strengths. These weaknesses pertain to you and not your Persona. IE: Physically Weaker, lack of attention span, etc.)
—Weakness Name: Nightmares
—Description: His past comes back to him in bits and pieces tormenting him more so than he would like to admit. Due to this, he is often woken up by the nightmares and has to do some form of activity to knock the dreams away. Due to this he is quite leery about who he ends up with as they'd have to embrace this negative fully.
—Weakness Name: Lazy
—Description: Yes, Alec can get a job done, but the problem is having the motivation to do such things. Unless it is something that matters, like school or important events, the guy can be a pain in the ass when it comes to work. It is even worse when he has no interest in what is being offered.
—Weakness Name: Loved Ones
—Description: Alec is loyal to his loved ones to a fault. While it may leave him miserable in the end, he will always chose those that he loves first over himself or a stranger. As a result of this, he is most likely to place himself in danger to ensure those he care for are safe.
—Weakness Name: Chill. It is just a game, yo.
—Description: Alec loves games and mischief and as a result is no stranger to pulling tricks or doing things just to mess with people. While it may entertain some others may find the trait annoying or dangerous; however, for Alec life is too short not to have fun.
—Weakness Name: You and I may be separate, but are still one.
—Description: Alec and his shadow may be two beings with separate personalities; however, at the end of the day their connection makes them feel each other pain and if one goes down so will the other. This simply means both share the same stat pool and will experience the same things. They are counted as one unit at all times - whether or not they are in battle or not.
Also due to the shadow pulling from memories to take forms, the mental pull causes trouble of its own. Alec does suffer from intense headaches and hearing a ringing sound during these times. The headaches get so bad that he cannot focus and sometimes will pass out. In battle, there is a 10% chance that he will suffer from the headache. It leaves him in a disoriented state for three turns, raising his chances to miss by 1. It lasts for three turns before going away. (Randomizer of 10 is thrown every five battles and on his second post to determine this).

((A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent.)
—Floating Weakness Name:
—Description:
Shadow Weapon: ((This is the both a Weapon and a Shadow. You have a parasitic relationship with this Shadow, and as such you will always want it near you as it is the source of your power. Unlike Soulbound Weapons, this Shadow Weapon cannot be summoned and will always remain active, meaning you'll have to keep it on you at all times.))
Weapon Name: Chyristill
Weapon Description: Chyristill appears in three different forms. The first form is the form of a white fox like wolf with pure blue eyes and black legs and paws. The fox is around the size of a full grown wolf or around the size of a large dog. It sits just below Alec's hip when standing or sitting. Around her neck is reddish color bandanna that acts as her collar and only decoration. The second form is a woman about 5'0" feet in height with white hair and serious blue eyes. This woman dresses in all white, the only colors being the flower she wears in her hair and the red scarf that remains in this form. The human form is her fighting form. She uses a triton as her main form of attack and she is the physical attacker of the pair. The triton is 7 feet long from tip to prongs. The last form is a tattoo of a fox that appears on his back. The shadow will only take this form if Alec is somewhere where animals aren't allowed or where having a physical form may be a burden (i.e: swimming, spalunking, etc).

Weapon Attack Type: Pierce
Weapon Element: (Leave this blank. Only special weapons obtain an element behind its blows.)

The Background
|
History:
Before Alec was even old enough to remember what happened to him, an experiment was done to create human eggs infused with shadows. These eggs were created with the thought that if the shadows were introduced to the host while they were developing, then the end result would be a perfectly melded human and shadow. Needing a female to actually grow the creatures they wished to created, the labs chose five women to be injected with these strange fertilized eggs. Of the five test subjects, two died before the pregnancy could be completed taking out themselves and the child and two more died during childbirth. Alec’s mother did survive and was put in charge of taking care of Alec and the two remaining test subjects that had lost their parents. She named each one of them and loved them as her own. Alec grew up alongside Alice and Alexis who were only a few months older than him believing them to be his siblings. For the first four years of life, things were great. The four of them lived a happy life; however, when the children turned five things began to turn ugly. Strange men in white outfits came to the house that they lived in and took the three of them away from his mother.
The last images that he has of his mother was of her screaming and begging for the men to give the children back, but back then he did not understand why. From his mother and happiness Alec was placed in a bland room that would become his home for the next 15 years of his life. From the age of five, he and the others were forced through a series of tests that at first started off as a simple games to test intelligence and what if situations; however, the older they got the more brutal the tests became as the men in white tried to force some form of darkness within them to come out. While Alec and Alexis didn’t show any signs of this power coming out, Alice at the age of ten finally did unleash her shadow; however, instead of being one with it, the creature went berserk and threatened to kill all within the room with it. The men who watched the scene from behind protective glass did not move in to stop the attack forcing both Alec and Alexis to do what they could to survive.
Backed into a corner with Alexis, the pair watched as the transform Alice came at them with the intent to kill them, it was at this point the men inserted a new element into the room a knife. With the item at their feet they were given an order: kill Alice and live or don’t kill her and die. The choice was a cruel one, but one that Alec ended up taking. He may have been a child, but he did not want to die, so he took that weapon and with all his might fought back the thing that was once family.
The move was devastating. Even though he had won and even saved Alexis and himself from death, he never completely got over what he did. Some could say he lost a part of himself back then and never gained it back. He fell into a depression for a year before coming back out of it seemingly alright; however, it was during this time that he began play and perform games. At first the games seemed harmless enough. In order for him to do a test for the scientists had to indulge in small games that Alec requested beforehand. They saw the trade as something good and so became comfortable with the idea of games when it came to getting Alec to do anything.
Alexis, who was the quieter and more timid of the two, was the only one that caught onto what was really happening, but instead of warning the doctors of what was at play, he watched with an interest that soon grew to something more apparent as the games were played. Alexis at times would join in on the fun. The doctors saw the shift in Alexis as progress as they were getting things done without the children resisting. On top of this, both displayed they had control over their shadows and seemed to only get stronger as time went on. The whole time the scientists never realized that the pair were actually herding them into a trap. A trap that wouldn’t be sprung until the pair turned 15.
At the age of 15 during a routine test, Alec asked for a game of hide and seek to be played before the test began. The scientists quite used to these request, naturally submitted to the request figuring the quicker the game was over, the faster they could get back to work. Allowing Alec to chose the playing field, they took the game out into the woods around the area and began to play; however, the scientist would find they were in for more than they bargained for. Instead of playing hide and seek, the scientists found themselves fighting to survive as the pair they had created took advantage of their surroundings and used their shadows to destroy their creators. With the scientists dead, the pair took the bodies inside before setting the facility on fire and watching it burn, cremating the dead inside and also all destroying work that had been performed there. It was there way of taking out the past. While the building did burn pieces of it remained in the area that the facility once existed and it was before this burnt, the pair created a tomb for all those that had died in that place thanks to the science performed. They even added the scientists to the list they created on that tomb showing that while they did killed them it wasn’t out of malice, but out of a desire to be free and no longer be toyed with.
The par left a space near the bottom, so if either of them were to pass away before the other, then the remaining one could place their name on the tomb and perhaps another could do the same when the last one disappeared. With the job done, they left their home and struck out for new lives in the world.
They lived together as siblings living life to the fullest; however, after about 3 years of bliss despite some hang ups in life here and there, Alexis became very ill and while he was taken to the hospital there was nothing the doctors could do as his illness was very strange them; however, Alec had an idea of what was killing him, but never said anything knowing well no one would believe him. He stayed by his brother’s side until the end. When Alexis passed away a year, Alec had him cremated and his ashes spread over the over the ocean a place they guy loved. As promised, he returned to the place they were created to add Alexis name to the list.
Truly alone now, Alec kept himself going by continuing to play his games and hoping for better future. Even if his shadow did end up taking him out in the end, he promised himself he wouldn’t leave the world with regrets and so kept his life as a free spirit. He moved to Azores when he was 19 and was there a year later when the Event came through the place; however, he did not involve himself in those matters. Now two years later a new threat comes to Azores and this time Alec decided to play the game just to see what the hell was happening both for the challenge and to also stop whatever force was trying to destroy his happy ending yet again.
