Special Characteristics:

Personality:Born Alexandria, she long ago gave up her identity to match her culture's standards, renaming herself Alexander and becoming a man in all but body. Alexander is within drawn and studious, not one to go out and search for social connections for anything outside of an ulterior motive. He prefers to remain isolated for events, instead choosing to simply study and watch others to learn. He has a constant drive for knowledge, seeing it as the only point to his life anymore. Whether it be new extents of his magic, or simple common sense, any sort of knowledge has immense value in his opinion. Due to the many years spent in isolation for society he experienced, he has become fairly detached from both society and his own human emotions, remaining constantly calm and collected. This has even reached the extent where experiencing any of them feels foreign to him and leaves him unable to decide how to act on them. He tries to maintain what he considers to be polite and proper behavior, although what he considers to fit in that is to the argument of many.

Alexander's memories have faded on his unnatural lifespan, caused by his magic, and anything he has deemed irrelevant has been forgotten by him, such as his own exact age or birthday. To counteract this, he keeps constant note on anything he feels he is likely to forget, and uses them to remain up to date. This leads to him making detailed notes during almost any exchange of any kind. He also has an incredible patience, albeit a poor sense of time as well. Alexander is very lazy, and often puts off doing anything for as long as possible, preferring to simply continue his studies instead. He can often come off as very dull or socially unaware, constantly acting strange to say the least. Even he himself sometimes wonder if his time alone as given him a bit of mental issues, but will dismiss any claims against his intellect as nothing. When something catches his attention he will pursue it and all knowledge surrounding it fervently till he either feels he understands it entirely or such interest fades. When either occurs, it's fairly likely he'll never use or pursue anything around it again. Despite his laziness however, he dislikes leaving things unfinished, and will always work towards a sense of resolution for himself if anything, else it will nag at him from the back of his mind till he does.

In battle, Alexander doesn't change much, for the most part remaining his normal self. He dislikes fighting, as he views it as useless effort, and will avoid it as much as possible, but shows no hesitation to draw sword when forced. He does have qualms against taking life, viewing it as a right he doesn't have, but once again will do so when he deems it either the best sort of action or necessary. Whether it be for his own studies or in the heat of battle, Alexander takes any life he has to solemnly and with regret, finding no pleasure in it. Oddly enough, in battle is one of the few times he is willing to place any of his own morals forward, dictating what he considers to be "right" and following it outside of his normal objective look. He works well with others, always willing to reduce his own effort and handle work more efficiently, and is a good tactician, able to efficiently handle situations and allocate his resources on the fly, as well as constantly keep a calm and objective look at the battlefield.

Likes:

• Books; Alexander's drive for knowledge leads him to a love for books, what he sees has the ultimate source of knowledge. In any free time he has he is almost assuredly reading or writing something, and is constantly surrounded by varying kinds of books.
  
• Solitude; Even before his detachment from society, Alexander was a solitary man, this inclination further amplified by his years alone. While he has no apprehension towards company, he prefers to remain alone and unbothered.
  
• Board Games; Whether it be a simple game of cards or chess, Alexander is always willing to sit down and play a game. One of his few past times, he finds endless entertainment in simple games of wit.
  

Dislikes:

• Disregard for Life; Alexander views life as a finite resource, seeing as few if any are able to create or return a lost one entirely as it was. As such, he holds a strong distaste towards purposefully wasting it or eliminating it without purpose.
  
• Loud Noises; Alexander has an aversion towards anything above average speaking volume, preferring silence in most cases. He finds it distracting and hard to think when hearing it, and is very sensitive to sound due to years spent in silence.
  
• Dogs; With no real reason for it at all, since he was young Alexander has had an aversion to dogs, unable to explain it as anything other than a random distaste that grew over the years.
  

Motivations:

• Knowledge; Above all else in his life, Alexander's drive to learn more is what keeps him going. He sees little more in life that has more value, and believes there is no point in pursing anything outside of what is most valuable.
  
• Revenge; Not entirely faded from him despite his claims, Alexander's original reason for learning his magic and beginning the process of extending his life come from his desire to avenge his fallen kingdom. This feeling will forever remain there however, as now the target of it has fallen as well.
  
• To Find Motivation; While Alexander's drive to find knowledge keeps his life and sanity over the years, he understands the impossibility and vagueness of his own goals. As such, he is searching for another motivation as well, something to return purpose to his seemingly purposeless life.
  

Fears:

• The Unknown; Alexander's drive for knowledge can partially be attributed to his fear of the unknown. He dislikes being without knowledge, and as such detests being put into any situation he doesn't know how to handle.
  
• Anything Holy; While he isn't exactly a godfearing man, Alexander has an aversion to anything he considers or is considered to be holy, mostly due to his magic and a fear of being struck down for his actions.
  
• Insanity; Constantly feeling little bits of himself fade from his memory over time, Alexander fears an eventual descent into insanity might be inevitable, and that all of his progress and attempts in life would end up for naught.
  

General Appearance


Height: 5'9"
Weight: 143lbs
Hair: White, very dry and unkempt. There looks like there has been little care or attention payed to it at all, outside of keeping it from growing too long.
Eyes: Dull Brown
Skin Tone: Incredible Pale
Appearance: Lank and seemingly decrepit, Alexander barely holds himself upright, let alone with any pride or power. He seemingly always keeps himself looking towards the ground and slightly hunched, giving off an air of submissiveness. Old and faded, he still wears the royal robes he was gifted long ago, and despite their age they seem to be fairly well kept, perhaps the only reason they have survived as long as they did. Solid black with gold trimmings and purple accents, his cloak gives off an air of elegance, while his swearter and pants beneath are a simple white.
