NAME: Alexander Belmont
GENDER: Man
FACTION: Rudiarii
APPEARANCE: Stands at 6'6" normally. Appearance subject to change at a whim by Alex.
His Mask:
PERSONALITY: Alexander tens to be sarcastic or use dark humor, but he is not going to
simply insert jokes at all times. He maintains awareness of his surroundings, gauging when
to be quiet or serious and when to crack a joke. He also likes to throw a wrench into
plans, avoiding damaging wrenches unless it is enemy plans. He suffers from sadistic
tendencies for those he considers enemies. He actually takes pride in how much pain and
misery he can inflict upon foes. He keeps his sadism from directly affecting his allies.
Alexander also lives with Auditory-tactile Synesthesia, experiencing a relaxing full body
warmth upon listening to a calm heartbeat. His Awakening caused a similar disorder to
manifest as melancholic reactions to people crying when witnessing the carnage he can
inflict upon others. Both cause him to keep keenly aware of the attitudes of his allies and
he shares a surpising amount of empathy with companions. His in-combat behavior is that of
a demon jester intent upon causing pain and misery while confounding the enemy. Out of
combat, he is far more likely to try and lift the spirits of his group and be helpful, if a
bit silly at times. This duality was borne of his Awakening, essentially fracturing his
mind into two separate statuses. He is always Alexander and never changes personality, but
it is like a switch is in his head that flips once combat, torture, or interrogation start.
He is rather skittish with romance or possible interest in him, fearing his disorders and
fractured mind would taint the relationship. As such, he will not rebuff the advances, but
he will be obviously uncomfortable with reciprocating them himself. He is a teetotaler by
choice and instead drinks coffee as his drink of choice. He is also a keen scholar. When
not on missions or in fights, he will seek new knowledge or be seen pondering by a fire.
Anyone interested may join him in discussion and learning. He may even tell a few stories
to entertain his guests.
TALENT: Subterfuge
PURVIEW: Chaos
PURVIEW ABILITIES:
Comical Changeling: Alexander can physically alter his own form to match his mischevious
methods. He can currently change his apparent sex, voice, body features, and number of
limbs. He cannot yet leave a humanoid form. Later on, he will become able to shapeshift
into nearly anything he can imagine.
Pandemonium's Poison: Alexander can secrete a venom into his blood, sweat, and saliva. Any
weapons he wields are also coated in this venom. This does not affect ammo, so a gun he
holds will be covered in venom, but the bullets it fires will lose the venom. The venom,
when not in an enemy, on a wielded weapon, or within his fluids, will break down nearly
instantly. The venom's current effects either cause pain to flare around the affected
target's body in random patterns or will cause intense sexual arousal, Alexander's choice.
Later on, the poison, if producing pain, will cause the enemy to believe that their allies
are actually Alexander. If producing arousal, the poison will instead dissuade the target
from harming Alexander. Each dose of poison must be applied into their blood stream or
through places like their eyes or mouth. Doses cause the effect for minutes at a time.
Enemies can resist the poison, though extra doses can erode this resistance.
Whimsical Whimsy: Alexander can use his power to take mundane items and give them
inconceivable properties. For example, he could take chocolate ice cream and make it taste
like old gym socks. At the current power he has, he can at most make a small weapon out of
weird objects, like turning a banana peel into an impromptu knife. He cannot use this power
to grant an object a property it could conceivably have. He can't take metal and make a
knife. That just wouldn't be funny. Later on, he will be able to practically do anything
his imagination can come up with, but it can never make sense how he did it.
BACKGROUND: Before Awakening, Alex was professionally an intelligence agent. He was placed
in strategic locations to gather information or observe events. His training mostly
surrounded recon, data gathering, and physical and social stealth methods. He was trained
to kill, though he was not an assassin. he knows his way around firearms and melee weapons.
He is also trained in nerve strikes to weaken and disable foes. His training veered from
the norm as he also trained to construct temporary items for use on the job. Zip guns and
shivs are two examples of throwaway items he knows how to craft, given the materials. As a
recon agent, he trained predominantly on hacking systems and intercepting messages and
signals. Given the proper equipment, he can gather relevant info for interested parties.
All of the training he had kept him living comfortably. He even managed to sell some
secrets on the side to parties and causes he approved of. Shortly before his Awakening, his
agency dissolved for unknown reasons. Left as a freelance agent, he did what any good agent
would and assumed a temporary identity in case of foul play.
AWAKENING: While in hiding after his agency's dissolution, Alexander began to see...things.
They were not normal things. They seemed out of a nightmare. They at first didn't notice
him. As the things became clearer and more frequently seen, they began to realize he
existed. He had to flee from many of them, not realizing he was gaining new powers as he
saw them more. Well, one can only run for so long before getting caught. The poor creature
that caught him, had him by an arm. He swiftly cut the creature's arm. To his surprise, the
wounds started oozing a deep purple and the creature begant o convulse in pain. Seeing it
in such a vulnerable state led Alex into a sadistic frenzy, where he slowly killed the
creature by testing out his newfound poison. From there, he killed off many of the
creatures instead of running. Over time, he discovered that he could physically alter
himself to sneak into their ranks. He also discovered his ability to add weird properties
during his stealthy infiltration of their ranks. Lacking a shiv or knife, he grabbed a
coffee cup. Expecting to knock his target unconscious, he was surprised to find it instead
left a deep gash in its skull. Not wanting to waste time thinking about it, he promptly
slit the creature's throat and left the area. Following the discovery of the powers, he
began to experiment with them, trying to find out what he could and could not do with them.
The shape changing was easy to find limits for. His poison seemed to cause pain, until one
time he accidentally poisoned a woman he wanted to sleep with. Her getting suddenly aroused
instead of being in pain threw him for a loop, but it served as a good way to realize his
poison's weird potential. His last ability took much more time to understand. He tried and
failed to give pieces of metal or glass better cutting or stabbing ability, but he could
make them into incredibly strong bludgeons. On the flip side, he could take unsharpened
pieces of rebar or chunks of stone and cut people with them. He even made his morning gruel
taste delicious. So, he eventually figured out that the power required he do odd things to
the object. He took to carrying around a few weird and random items in addition to his
knife in case of disarmament.
The trials began after his experimentation and survival drew the attention of Cherubim.
They came calling time and time again. When possible, he evaded them or confounded them,
but he did take more than one of them down. Knowing he had to leave Metropolis, Alexander
carefully wove his way through the city. Cherubim pursued him relentlessly, setting up
traps and checkpoints to try and get him. For his part, he barely got out of the city. Once
out, he thought he would be relatively safe, but he was dead wrong. Once out of the city,
angels came calling. He couldn't trick them or evade them this time. They eventually hunted
him down. After a long fight, He managed to slip away with a multitude of wounds. Of the
angels, one was dead, another mortally wounded, and the other two severely injured.
Alexander made it off into the darkness, though he only got so far before collapsing into
unconsciousness. He awoke to a woman cleaning his wounds and fixing him up. He still felt
like shit, but he was out of obvious dange,r so he wasn't too bothered. A few weeks of
recovery got him back in functioning order. The group that found him introduced themselves
as something called the Awakened. They told him that he was one as well. All were
disillusioned to the real state of the world and gained incredible power. The group as a
whole was a small cadre of Rudiarii that had been sent out to look for new Awakened. They
happened upon him at the tail end of the fight. They basically took him to a safehouse and
helped him out. From there, considering their explanation of the faction as relatively free
form and based upon ability, he decided to join their number for the added protection and
resources. From there, he began to run missions for them, often alone as a scout or
observer. He even performed assassinations. Over time, he got his hands on a very well-
designed harlequin mask and a jester's outfit. He took on that costume for missions as a
persona to inflict fear and confusion upon his enemies.
