History/Bio
Alex's beginnings were that of a fortunate one. Coming from one of the upper-class family, he always saw himself as a person with a purpose, a reason to push himself to limits and beyond and make every day count. Though as a young lad it started less poetic and more along the lines "I want to help sick people", it fully manifested during his teen years in a form of a calling, a noble profession and pursuit of being a doctor. The desire to become one intensified even more as the Terrors arrived, striking without a single warning. The life with them around had to continue and so he attended only left medical school available in Serbia.
As years passed so did they all had to adapt to the fact that Terrors will provide a unique challenge, one that World has accepted as a foe that might very well be cause for humanity's extinction. Many volunteered and many joined the fight against the unspeakable horrors. Still, Alex persisted, believing that his calling will be to help those who remained. This drive pushed him to the absolute limits of his own determination and after four years he graduated summa cum laude - with highest honors. City hospital was quick to snatch him and for two years he was tossed between one ward to another, applying his knowledge to almost every scenario possible to a doctor.
But then... the horror. It felt like a hurricane that has came down on a small wooden house. Tides of Terrors swarmed through the city, mowing down innocent and the soldiers alike. Before the night has ended, streets were pained in crimson and black. By morning, every hospital and clinic was full with wounded. The horror didn't stop. One wave after another, men and women, adults and children, all were rushed to hospital. Those lucky ones were with minor gushes while others came limbless, abdomens teared open with claw marks all over body. One hell ended only for other to arise. Medical supplies were already running low and with no hope of resupply until the situation outside of the walls has been resolved, Chief of Medicine gave a bitter order to all medical staff:
"Save those who can be saved, ease up suffering on rest."
Armed with just a knife, Alex was placed before the defining moment in his life... to chose who he can save and who he will have to kill. Left hand would grab onto the arm of the unlucky sod and a quick thrust between ribs into the heart. Quick and painless, not even having time to say a prayer before he had to move to other patient only to determine if he can be saved. Many died that night. Remaining population of the city has been ordered to evacuate as soon as the military subdues situation enough for evacuation to begin. All went... all except Alex. Sitting inside high walls was not an answer in his opinion and he felt that his aid was needed elsewhere. Armed with just his exceptional knowledge and one bag filled personal effects and medical tools, he headed toward only place he thought would have best chance of winning against unspeakable horrors that Terrors sought to bring upon the humanity.
Personality
Careful, calculated, sarcastic and mild-tempered. Alex prefers to stay out of argument as much as possible, often looking for different solutions for the problem and opts for one that yields optimal success with as little risk as possible. The life itself hasn't prepared him for the nightmares that appeared and he has seen no small amount of them. The sarcasm is his way of defense, the valve that keeps his sanity in check. Still, with all that, he is usually easy to talk to, preferring to keep lighter topic for conversation. With times that are coming, everyone could use a moment of distraction.
Alex is capable fighter, good enough to hold on his own but far from the fact he's anything that will make people turn eye toward him. It is not what he does with sword that counts, but what he does with scalpel. Even under extreme circumstances, he is able to maintain his focus and do what he does best... patch people up and prepares them for another round.
Equipment
Currently wields long-sword but would preferably take short sword upon finishing his training.
