- Character Name: Alexander Blade
- Character Age: Unconfirmed
- Character Gender: Male
- Character Race: Human
- Character Class: Monk - Divine Judge
- Character Esper: Alexander
Character Skills/Spells:
- Five Rings Discipline (Type: Offensive) (Elemental: N/A) A strike-oriented linear system of martial arts that focuses on explosive power drawn from inner chi. Because of this discipline, Alexander has learned well the weakest points, and the most sensitive points, of the human body. Easily, Alexander is able to strike a man cold with paralysis and although he is capable of delivering death, Alexander refrains from doing so.
- Zui Quan - Drunken Boxing (Type: Offensive) (Elemental: N/A) A deceptive and randomly organized system of martial arts that Alexander has mastered. When used, Alexander seems to take on the characteristics of being intoxicated, though he has never drank a drop of alcohol in his life, this enables him to use well-timed and coordinated attacks while he breaks through the defenses and exploits the opponents openings.
- Chi (Type: Offensive) (Element: Neutral) - A byproduct of his martial training. He is capable of harnessing massive amounts of internal energy into his attacks to the degree of shattering solid objects with his bare fists. At will, Alexander is capable of manipulating the chi to the point of bypassing the exoskeleton and dealing damage to the internal organs of his target.
- Healing factor (Type: Passive) (Elemental: N/A) Alexander has the ability to recover from injury, poison, or disease at an accelerated rate.
- Mental Darkness (Type: Semi Buff) (Elemental: Darkness/Psychic) A product of his innate Darkness which makes Alexander resistant to psychics.
Class Skill
- Gymnastics: All Monks, whether trained or untrained in their profession, have an inborn ability of being flexible enough to perform flips and somersaults with ease and with no danger of injuring themselves. This skill is especially useful in the heat of a fist-fight, when your enemy is throwing punches like crazy and you need a way to critically nail a weak spot they may be protecting. Gymnastic ranks range from being able to do back-flips and leaps over and around your opponent, to being able to dodge out of the way of a fireball at the very last second, in which case you may need to look into the Thief class.
Character Weapons
Normal
- 3 1/2 ft. Carbon Steel Pipe: Despite it's weight, Alexander has been known to use this weapon both in the manner of a Japanese Katana and a Chinese Jo Staff.
- Memory - A 2 and 3/4 ft. long blunt sword with flat edges. It is used primarily as a defensive weapon though it yields devastating results in Alexander's hands.
- Weaver - Colt Anaconda Revolver
- Faith - Sawed-Off Shotgun
- Samantha's Slingshot - Sturdy and powerful slingshot.
Esper
- Judgment - The Memory imbued by the Esper Alexander. Though it remains blunt and flat-edged, the sword effortlessly pierces through demonic armor and demonic flesh. It glows a faint white with the power of the High Heavens.
- Doom of Gomorrah - A single gauntlet on Alexander's right hand embedded with a holy crystal. When utilized, it focuses a single concentrated beam of Holy energy capable of piercing through even the most reinforced armor.
- Flames of Abaddon - The white fire of the very depths of Hell at Alexander's disposal. Once released, the flames consume all of which Alexander targets but is rendered harmless to him and his allies.
Memory and Judgement
Character Appearance
Normal
- Alexander stands at a noticeable stature of only 5'5". Dark brown, almost black, hair sits upon his head, not too long, and not too short but trimmed to a comfortable length. This hair, however, remains most of the time hidden underneath a black and red baseball cap turned 90 degrees to the right with the letters "L.A." off centered in red. His skin is as a light bronze, though not from the sun, but from his ethnic origins. A black wife-beater shirt wraps around his torso, tightly, accenting his athletically lean muscular upper body as black Echo Unltd. shorts seamed with crimson red thread cover his lower body from his waist down to about three 1/2 inches above his ankles. Alexander's feet are wrapped within black and red Nike Air Carnivore high top basketball shoes that offered adequate ankle protection and were perfectly ideal for long term physical activity without added weight strain upon his ankles.
Battle
- Across his chest he wears a thick black leather strap thats joined at a holster on his left side in which his .45 Colt Anaconda revolver rests fully loaded and ready for it's next assignment. Loosely slung around his waist was yet another one of these straps wrapped around his waist and were joined at a more stable and solid holster that sat behind him just below the small of his back. In this one, a custom modified sawed off short-barrel shotgun hung in lonesome vigil but these were not his primary weapons as he preferred close quarters, hand-to-hand combat over firearms. Thus, Alexander became close to some rather peculiar weapons. One rests behind his left shoulder blade in a holster sling that wrapped around his left shoulder. In this sheath rests the Carbon Steel pipe that seemed to have been spray painted black.
Esper
- A metallic white skull cap made of an unknown Holy alloy covers the top of Alexander's head down to just below the temple, contouring to the bridge of his nose and overlapping his eyes, yet he is perfectly able to see through this. Black shorts lined with white seams cover his lower body and go to about 3 1/2 inches above his ankle. He bears no shirt upon his torso, revealing a muscularly built, yet lean body type that is protected by a single white pauldron strapped to the right shoulder. The pauldron is made of the same white, indestructible, Holy metal in which it's black strap goes across his chest and back connecting at the guard itself. Alexander's feet are wrapped in black mid-rise armor boots in which the left is strapped, with a white metallic band, and buckled from the ankle to heel. On Alexander's right elbow, a protective guard made of the same metal. The Doom of Gomorrah also wraps tightly around Alexander's right hand in the form of two straps that connect at the palm bearing a gleaming white crystal that rests at the back of Alexander's hand. On his left arm, the white Flames of Abaddon course upward to about an inch above his elbow yet his arm is never consumed.
Character Personality
- Friendly - Generally, Alexander is easy to get along with and is never one to arouse or continue contentions.
- Flirtatious - Though women are a source of weakness in Alexander's life, he is perfectly capable of balancing responsibility with leisure.
- Loyal - Once friendships are established, the bond is set in stone for life.
- Confident - If it is one thing Alexander lacks, it's not confidence. Some might categorize him as cocky and arrogant but he simply holds a disregard toward what others might regard worthy of worry.
- Pious - Despite his flaws, Alexander is devout to his God and is in a constant state of battle against his own self. This piety attributes to much of Alexander's way of living, behavior, and morality.
- Dark - Not easily readable. Much of his life, particularly his past, is hidden and he is careful who he allows into the deeper portions of his mind and heart.

Patient 000134 - Alexander
A recording of a researcher speaking into a computer camera. She is documenting research on a patient.
"Entry 1: September 16, Tuesday. "Alexander," no last name given. Is this really the King of L.A?... He's just a.. a boy. Moving on, Purpose, Unconfirmed. We were ordered to keep him in observational study. Age unconfirmed. Appears to be between 18 and 24. Male. Subject was brought to us in a state of catatonia. Treatments have failed. Subject is non-responsive. Further measures will be taken."
According to the report, the Subject was found unconscious inside an abandoned hospital in Los Angeles' inner eastern region. This might cause trouble for the R.U.S... but that's none of my business anyway.
(Static)
"Entry 2: September 20, Saturday. We've been unable to wake him. Basic studies have been conducted. Lets see... subject is about five feet five inches, Hispanic, black hair, dark brown eyes. Body type: conditioned. Blood type, inconclusive. Several scars of unknown origin decorate his body, especially his back, like an abstract painting. We can only assume that the subject was ... tortured. That is all for today."
"Entry 3: October 4th, Saturday. Still no sign of consciousness. His brainwaves have exceeded normal standard. There's definitely something going o- Wait... somethings happening... Th, the subject is screaming,"
The researcher quickly leaves the desk. Off screen there seems to be scuffling sounds, a hydroelectric chamber door opening, and loud screams.
(Static)
"We weren't sure what exactly triggered his waking but we assume it was a type of nightmare. During his screams, he called out for "Samantha," and "Weaver." Investigations have revealed that Samantha is (interference) the latter is unknown. Subject's catatonia seems to have left him and he has been given a mild sedative. He is being properly taken care of."
"Entry 4: October 14th, Tuesday. The subject has been turned over to the head of Shinra's Science Research Division. Although I'm still in charge of the subjects well being and supervision, I'm afraid of what that mad scientist will try to do to him. The subject has shown varying degrees of aggression toward the other doctors and has left two of them badly injured already. He thinks we have something to do with whatever ha- (static) is all for today."
(Static)
"Entry 6: October 15th, Wednesday. Ale-... the subject has been given a high dosage of drugs, enough to almost kill a man, but his body reacts quickly and eliminates the substance. I've never seen anything like it. It's almost as if his body is impervious to the effects of foreign substances. This has greatly aggravated Dr. (static) which has been a stumbling block on the road to 'his' success. On a separate note, the.. subject seems to have warmed up to me. I can say with full assurance that I can walk in there safely. He even complimented my hair a few hours ago... Still, the subject has shown a lack of facial expressions. As of yet, were unsure how to categorize this. Further research is being conducted."
"It's about midnight and I got called into the lab. Apparently the subject had become unstable prior to my coming. Although I managed to calm him down, we were ordered to strap him down for our own safety. This will only hinder our work as part of our objective is to analyze his normal behavioral patterns. It's weird though... during his frantic instability he called out for Samantha and Weaver again. I don't think Alex... the subject has a grip on reality... what do they hope to accomplish with him?"
"Entry 7: October 20th, Monday. That... that rat bastard... out of frustration, the doctor ruthlessly beat Alexander and whipped him several times with an extension cord. Though Alexander could have easily defended himself and perhaps even killed the doctor, he simply sat there and took it... I can only assume that Alexander's rapid healing rate enabled him to take such an undeserved punishment."
"I've come to the conclusion that Alexander's perception of reality has been altered. I'm under the impression that he thinks all this is a dream in which waking is just over the horizon. I wonder if he was like this prior to being brought here... He doesn't think any of this is real and as much as I try to reassure him, he questions all the more. "A place of darkness," and "the hospital," he says. Are these metaphors? Maybe I'm overthinking things... I... should really get some sleep."
(Static)
"Entry 10: I've had enough of this. Every day I have to come in and watch as the professor subjects Alexander to cruel and inhumane testing, beatings, and tells me to clean up the mess. Alexander's been such a saint these last months... never saying a word against us... even complimenting me every time I go in there. I've done my best to treat him with what he deserves, to treat him like a human but I cant keep letting these things happen to him... needless to say "the subject," has become a friend to me...perhaps the only friend I have in this place since everyone else only see's him as a "specimen."
"Entry 15: The hostiles broke in two days ago and took Alexander as well as some of the other subjects. I'm thankful that the hostiles reacted quick after I gave them this location. Although it was discovered that I was the cause of the invasion, I wasn't sentenced. After all, I'm Shinra's top scientist after professor (static) would be a massive slow down to their progress. However, they're keeping me under close watch and after giving me a few bruises, a broken rib, and a black eye, they threatened to kill my family if I every try anything like that again...
New specimens are supposed to come in next week... I can only pray I can be some comfort to the torture their about to endure..
Before they took him, I injected Alexander with an extremely high dosage of DRAC... it's dangerous, I know, but knowing Alexander's ability to quickly combat foreign substances, I hoped to erase the memory of his time here. Whether it worked or not only time will tell.
Alexander, wherever you are... stay safe.
This is Dr. Charlene Vance, signing off.

However, there is one problem that needs to be fixed. For one, you need to refer to the Class System thread to copy/paste the Default Skills of a Warrior if that is your base class (just assuming here) and as a Level 1, you only have 5 skill slots. As you will see, there are 4 Warrior Default Skills, so you will only be able to retain one of your current abilities. Don't worry though, you receive a skill slot every level and the first 5 levels require only 5 posts each; you will regain your abilities in due time. But for now, I'm going to need you to follow the rules.
