That One Guy
The Last Scarlet Knight
“Some people say that my eyes show my inner bloodlust. I think they show how much blood I’ve seen shed.”
Age : 21
Height:5’11” (180.34 cm)
Weight:156 lbs (70.4 Kg)
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Affiliation: The Aiaran people
Personality:
Alexander acts like a man much older than his age. He’s constantly serious, and he often treats others (even those older than him) like kids. He hates resting when there’s still work to be done. Though he can seem quite stern and cold at times, he’s extremely caring. He does his best to keep everyone safe, and he’s willing to put his life on the line to do so. Despite his young age, Alexander carries an aura of experience with him. While he’s no pacifist and can be extremely violent at times, he hates seeing bloodshed. He prefers to only kill when he feels it’s necessary to protect others.The line between Devan and Human have blurred for him. In his mind, they’re all just soldiers fighting in a war, so he’ll gladly accept any willing to rally behind his cause.
Despite his apparent experience, he can be quite naive in many ways. One such example is women. As a man who’s spent most of his life training to be a soldier, his experience with romance is little to none, so women can fluster him relatively easily. He truly appreciates the small things in life. Good food, good times, good friends, these are the things he holds dear. Above all he values protecting the innocent above all, but he’s lost many of the positive views he once had. With so many dead, he often feels he is fighting a losing war, but he’ll never give up.
Biography:
Born an albino, Alexander faced the superstitious fears of others most of his life. Of course not every person was so superstitious. In fact, most weren’t. Some even thought it was cool. His parents, however, were not among them. For as long as he could remember, he’d lived in a orphanage near the edge of the forcefield. Due to the fact they were basically living in a paradise society, the orphanage was mostly filled with those who had nowhere to go because they were unwanted rather than those who had no one left to go to. This made most of the children quite close; they were all each other had, so they were quick to defend one another in the case of bullying. It was during one such encounter that Alexander realized what he wanted his purpose in life to be. To protect.
He decided he’d join the small Aiaran military force they had “guarding” the edge of the force field in his area. No one took them seriously; peace had made most of them soft, and many people believed the force field would never fall or at least not anytime soon. This didn’t sway Alexander. He begged and pleaded his way into the force. Despite his young age, they were happy to accept a new “recruit” that took little to no pay and would do menial tasks for them. In his spare time, they allowed him to train, and he took a liking to one of their weapons in particular. It was just the standard issue rifle, but he soon became a sharpshooter with it. Alexander quickly realized that many of the troops on the force didn’t even take their jobs seriously, but there were a few who did. In fact, he had caught one of their eyes. The Scarlet Knight. They were one of the more elite groups of the Aiaran forces. Each one was trained in sword and magic. Alexander had caught the eye of their Captain, Tristan Woodman. The man trained Alexander in the way of the sword, and the boy practiced day and night. While he was a hopeless mage, he rapidly became a strong warrior. He hoped to one day grow strong enough to lead the knights himself.
The day came sooner than expected after the force field suddenly fell. Alexander was one of the first troops to face the Devan attack. Now was his chance to prove himself. The poor boy couldn’t have known the horrors that faced him. Most of the soldiers were ill prepared for the attack. They were lucky to take down one or two Devan with them a they fell. The Scarlet Knights and Alexander were the only ones who seemed to hold their ground. They escorted as many civilians as they could to the city, but their small band of knights slowly became even smaller. When they neared the castle, the remaining Scarlet Knights made their final stand against the fast pursuing Devan in similar manner to the Champion’s last stand. They prolonged the battle battle as long as possible giving the fleeing citizens more time, but one by one they fell. Alexander soon found himself to be the last one standing. Wielding Durendal, the blade of Tristan Woodman, he was ready to go down swinging when the Goddess’ power exploded across the land. It vaporized all the Devan in the area and knocked out Alexander. When he woke, he found himself more powerful than before, and he found himself capable of wielding powerful healing magic. Now, Alexander continues to fight outside of his barrier. He does his best to protect anyone who was unlucky enough to be stuck on the outside. He’s occasionally seen on the other side of the barrier (which he routinely checks), and that has spawned many rumors about him. Some were wild, others seemed logical, but none were true. For Alexander had only been an honorary member of the Scarlet Knights, so no one could know he’d donned the armor.
Likes: Protecting others, delicious foods, fellow warriors
Dislikes: Sadists, cowards, relaxing too much, flirting (simply because he’s bad at it)
Dislikes: Sadists, cowards, relaxing too much, flirting (simply because he’s bad at it)
Powers/ Abilities:
Healing magic- Given to him by the power of the Goddess, Alexander possesses quite powerful healing magic that he can use to heal both himself and others. While it cannot heal a wound that would prove immediately fatal, it can heal quite serious ones.
Enhanced Physicality- another gift from the power of the Goddess. Alexander’s body has been infused with magic making him far faster, stronger, and tougher than he was before. Due to the fact he’s extremely physically fit to begin with, this makes him physically superior to any human without similar abilities/ powers.
Gear:
Scarlet Knight Armor: Finely crafted knights armor that is light but quite durable. However, it is just armor, so it can be pierced with significant force.
Magitek:
Durendal the Holy Blade: Upon first inspection the blade simply appears to be a finely crafted long sword. However, the hilt holds a crystal which can empower the blade with magic. More skilled users can shape this magic or even empower the blade with their own. For example, when gripping the hilt of his sword with both hands and facing the blade down, Alexander can shape a magical barrier in front of himself. Empowering the blade greatly increases its durability and cutting power making it able to slice through most things easily.
A-3 rifle: A standard, military issued rifle. While not the most powerful weapon in the blasting department, its true strength comes in it’s versatility. The weapon can be charged to fire more powerful blasts for longer distances or more damage. It can also rapidfire much weaker blasts. While it generally does not need its crystal replaced, too many consecutive shots will drain it.
Skills:
Swordsman- Alexander has endured intense training from one of the greatest swordsmen in the realm. Years of battle have shaped him into a strong warrior. He is particularly good at reading opponents while keeping them guessing with his own movements.
Sharpshooter- While he could never dream of boasting that he was the best shot in the kingdom, Alexander is a better shot than your average soldier, and he can shoot from many odd angles particularly with a rifle. The A-3 rifle was the first weapon he’s ever handled, so he’s had many years to sharpen his skills with it.
Experienced- Alexander has been training with weapons for most of his life, and he’s faced many opponents. He’s good at remaining calm and collected in battle.
Strengths:
Versatile- Alexander is a bit of a jack of all trades or rather combat when it comes to combat. He’s handy to have on most missions.
Resilient- Alexander’s strong will, durable body, and healing magic make him very difficult for an enemy to put down.
Aware- Alexander’s senses aren’t heightened in any way, but it often seems like they are. Due to damage he received to one of his eyes, he simply pays attention to his other senses more than most, much like a blind person does.
Weaknesses:
Lacks excessive physical capabilities- Though he's much faster, stronger, and more durable than most humans. his physical capabilities are simply above normal human limits. Many creatures far surpass these limits, and he often finds himself facing foes significantly faster, stronger, or tougher than him.
Caring- Alexander does his best to protect everyone around him which often means putting himself in danger. He’s quick to use his healing magic on others meaning he may find himself drained in combat.
Limited vision- While he pays more attention to his other senses, his sight, arguably the most important sense in combat, is severely limited in comparison to others. With a damaged eye, his blind spot is larger than the average person’s. He can still uses his other senses to predict where an attack is coming from, but nothing’s more accurate than actually seeing the attack. If an enemy finds out about this weakness and takes advantage of it, it can make a battle much more difficult for Alexander.
