Name – Alexander Lionblade

Alignment – Chaotic Neutral

Race Human

GenderMale

Age – 25

Appearance – Dark Red hair with blue eyes and a small nose,ears are of normal size and is 5ft 10". He is about 13 stone,broad shoulders and ripped arms and torso. His hair is short and is messy,he doesn't care much about his appearance as he doesn't see the point in it,it also hides his left eye with a scar going through it, from all the wars he has been in(detailed in history), that eye is blind and useless.He has other scars over his body,but they aren't as bad as his facial scar, they just war scratches that haven't totally healed. His hands are just bigger than the average size of an average young adult.

This is just a rough picture of him:

Attire – As seen in the picture,he only has his arms covered in armour, the rest is clothing that suits his fighting style,it's light,casual,comfortable and easy to move in.The colour of it is grey,which is quite dull but can he can semi-camoflague in urban areas.He also wears a grey overcoat, to look quite smartly dressed.The material of his shirt is cotton,which will keep him warm,as well as his woolen trousers and the fine woolen over-coat

Armour – Red titanium armour going down each side of the arms,on his left shoulder there are spikes.The spikes on the shoulders can be used as a weapon if the need arises,by ramming his spiked shoulder in the opponent.Also in emergencies he uses his armoured arms to block attacks. The armour is virtually weightless and can fire electric bolts at a target,or multiple targets.

Personality – Alexander is quite quiet because of tough times in his life,if you offend him you won't get a facial reaction,but a physical one,he will attack you if he thinks your intimidating him or becoming a threat.
He treats others with respect if they give him it back,he's not a very talkative person and is always alert.He always keeps a cool and level head even when under-pressure.
If you get to know him better he's quite the caring person,that doesn't mean he will talk to you more,unless you make the effort to create some type of conversation.
He enjoys to fight,as he's been taught expertly how to,and can become quite a show-off at time,he can become quite envious if you have(example) a nicer peice of armour than he does, but that won't cloud his judgement.


First Impression – At a glance he seems down to earth,which he is most of the time,he seems young but is actually older than he looks.With his big sword on his back he seems quite threating,but will only be a threat if you provoke him.

Strength – By his appearance you think he's an average warrior,but the sword he weilds will tell you otherwise.After years of carrying the sword about it feels as light as a feather,and the weight of it is 100kg. If he was to fight hand to hand he could throw a good punch,which would make a whole in a door, and a moderate dent to a brick wall.


Speed – Alexander's top speed is 40mp/h, he has a lot of stamina and can run far while going 30 mp/h,he can run upto 10 miles with a break inbetween before he has to stop for a long rest. He is agile when fighting even with the 2h weapon he carries.

Endurance – Alexander doesn't have a lot of armour so is quite vurnable to attacks,he can take a few moderate sword slashes until he gets worn out,he can handle a lot of minor wounds but when it comes closer to major,he has to stop. Without being majorly wounded, Alexander can survive for 10 minutes until he gets tired and starts needing to rest.He needs to rest for an hour/an hour and a half and then he is ready to fight again.

Reflexes – Alexander's reflexes are like a cat, if there was a surprise attack on his village he would be up and ready in a second,althought he isn't as fast as his reflexes with his weapon attacks he can block most arrows and swords,unless he is against an assassin which he is slow to keep up with.

Fighting Style – Alexander believes in fighting with honour and respecting the dead, with his fast reflexes and not so fast attacks he can make up very good combos that can surprise his enemy, he does not use cowardly tactics as he believes in honour.

Weapons – His 2 Handed sword is around 6ft, the width of the blade is an inch thick on the blunt side.
It has 'Levitas' engraved on it which is Lightning in Latin,this grants him to use a lightning based attack.

The Weapon was a gift from his dearest friend, who died in the last war they were in together, the weapon is called Levitas and it was passed down from his friend's family for generations.


Abilities

-Nightvision - Alexander has also learned how to see in the dark almost as vividly as he can see in the day-time.
-Electric Bolts - Fired from his enchanted armour on his arms and hands,the bolt can reach upto a target from 30 feet away, he can use this upto 5 times in a battle until he needs to re-charge his armour.
-Lightning Swing - He swings his sword with two hands behind his neck and swings with such force and during the swing, lightning is gathered in the sword and is used to back up the strength in his swing, when the sword makes contact with the target,the target is sent flying. He can use this 3 times, otherwise he will be too fatiqued to fight.

Notes-

-After Lightning Swing, Alexander has to stop for 5 seconds before he can continue the battle. He can still block moderate attacks,just not attack or block heavy attacks.

-He recharges his armour by solar power, he must stay in the sunlight, or take his armour off and leave it in the sun, the ammount of time he has to wait for it to full re-charge again depends on how many time he's used it. Everytime he uses it he must wait for another hour

(Example : Using it twice,after battle he will have to wait for 2 hours for it to recharge full again, so wearing it out by using it 5 times in battle, he will have to wait around 6 hours until it's ready to use again.(it will take longer on empty.)

Other Skills -

-High Jump - As he carries not much armour and his weapon is light (to him anyway) he can jump high, about 60 feet in the air
-Driving - After driving trucks and armoured motorbikes, Alexander is a professional at driving at high speeds.
-Swordsmanship - After joining a special military group, Alexander learned how to weild swords.
-First Aid - He was also taught how to handel minor to moderate wounds in the military.
-Cooking - Not the best chef in the world but he can cook an edible meal.

Note - He also has a motorbike for travelling far distances and making quick escapes if necessary.The bike looks something like this: http://www.bbb-bike.com/mospeada/images/vol4_07.jpg



Magic – Alexander knows some magical basics, but nothingcompared to someone who's expertise is in magic. His max energy for magic is 200.

Basic Heal - Alexander can heal minor wounds that he has gained from battle. - This heals him 5% of his main hp each time and drains 25 magic.

Conjur/Summon - Alexander can 'call upon' a young dragon, which is ice-based, and can deal upto 100 damage to a regular opponent that has 600hp - This takes 5 seconds to cast and drains 100 magic.


Note - Alexander recovers Magic Energy by having a long rest.



History – Alexander joined a special military group at the age of 18, where he became close friends with a boy the same age called Rex. In the military group Alexander learned how to survive in harsh conditions,
how to drive, and how to defend himself, he then was asked what weapon would he like to use, he chose the 2 handed weapon, the Zweihander.

After years of being in the group Alexander was skilled in hand to hand and more skilled in 2 handed weapons. Rex and him were still close, and as Alexander was a family friend of Rex's they decided to hand him the 'Levitas'. He was honoured to weild it,and the weight of it took some getting used to.

A year after receiving the Levitas, Alexander and Rex were on their final mission before they were leaving for a different life. But Rex was killed and Alexander has never gotten over it. He left the military group behind him and went to start a new life,wherever fate would take him.

Appearance – Dark Red hair with blue eyes and a small nose,ears are of normal size and is 5ft 10". He is about 13 stone,broad shoulders and ripped arms and torso. His hair is short and hides his left eye. He has no facial hair.

You've given a very brief description here. Add in some more details, as if we had no image of him. Any scars or other visible marks on his face/body? Would he be considered attractive or ugly?

Attire – As seen in the picture,he only has his arms covered in armour, the rest is clothing that suits his fighting style,which i'll explain later.

That's fine, but go ahead and describe the clothing here. Material, what it covers, how much freedom of movement it allows, etc.

The spikes on the shoulders can be used as a weapon if the need arises.

How?

The armour is absolutely weightless

Absolutely weightless would mean that gravity has no effect on it, which would mean it floats. I've never known titanium to have that property. Virtually weightless, perhaps?

and can fire electric bolts at a target,or multiple targets.

This needs to be detailed in the Abilities tab.

Personality – Alexander is full of confidence and is cocky,he treats others with respect if they give him it back,he's not a very talkative person and is always alert.He always keeps a cool and level head even when under-pressure.If you get to know him better he's quite the caring person

I say this a lot: If someone could sum up my personality in three or four lines, I'd be disappointed. Here's some food for thought:
-How is your character around friends?
-How is you character if alone and bored?
-How is he if insulted by someone larger than himself?
-if someone accidentally trips and spills a mug of water on you char, but apologizes after, how does your char react?
-What look does your char have on the following:
|-Killing the innocent.
|-Killing evildoers (bandits and the like).
|-Killing in self defense regardless of the person.

If he was to fight hand to hand he could throw a good punch.

How good? Could he punch through a door? A brick wall?

Alexander's top speed is 50mp/h,

Point of reference: Olympic sprinters top out at about 23 mph. So 50 mph is superhuman. You don't necessarily have to change it, I just wanted to point that out.

he has a lot of stamina and can run far while going 30 mp/h,

How far/long before he has to stop?

Endurance

How long can he fight in a battle before needing to rest? 5 minutes? 10?

this grants him to use a lightning based attack on a single target,the electric attack can fry an average human if Alexander uses 70% of his energy.

This needs to be detailed in the Abilities tab.

Abilities
-Swordsmanship - After joining a special military group, Alexander learned how to weild swords.
-First Aid - He was also taught how to handel minor to moderate wounds in the military.
-Cooking - Not the best chef in the world but he can cook an edible meal.

These would go under the Other Skills tab.

|-Target: AOE
|-Energy drain: Moderate
|-Casting Procedure: Alexander charges up energy in his fist,jumps in the air and strikes into the ground
|-Explanation: His fist starts to glow as he channels energy into his fist,he jumps 8 feet in the air and then crashes into the ground with his fist, which causes rock to come from all directions
|-Counteraction: Manage to stop him from charging his fist,by attacking him

This strikes me as more of an Ability than a Spell.

How large is the AOE radius?
The energy drain is moderate, meaning... 20% of total energy? 50%? How long does he have to wait before performing the ability again?
How much damage does this do?

-Lionblade Charge :
|-Target: One Opponent
|-Energy drain: Moderate-Major
|-Casting Procedure: Alexander runs at the opponent at top speed and upper-cuts him/her with his sword,he then jumps in the air and smashes them back down with the flat side of his sword.
|-Explanation: Alexander makes sure he is quite some distance away from his opponent,he then crouches with his sword on his shoulder and starts to run at 45-50 mp/h. He then puts his sword in a position ready to upper-cut the opponent,he hits the opponent with an upper-cut and jumps 2 feet higher than the opponent and hits them with the flat side of his sword,sending them crashing into the ground.
|-Counteraction: Don't let him get too far away from you so that he can charge at you.If you do,try to evade the charge.

Also an Ability.

Same concerns as those for Res Publica.

General Abilities Question(s):

-How does he recover his energy?

+++++++

There's a good character here, we just need to flesh him out. For now, [NOT APPROVED].
 
Thanks for the feedback,i think i've covered all your points.

Edited it and taken some stuff out and added some other stuff in

Where could i say that he owns an armoured motorbike for fast travelling?
 
Without being majorly wounded, Alexander can survive for 30 minutes until he gets tired and starts needing to rest.He needs to rest for an hour/an hour and a half and then he is ready to fight again.

*channels inner Red Fox* 30 minutes is a loooong time. A man constantly swinging a sword and defending himself, I don't care how strong he is, wouldn't last for more than 15. Try sitting down on the floor, just staring ahead at nothing, for 10 minutes, and I think you'll see how long this is.

until he needs to re-charge his armour.

How does he do this?

Basic Heal - Alexander can heal minor wounds that he has gained from battle.

Conjur/Summon - Alexander can 'call upon' a young dragon, which is ice-based, and can deal upto 100 damage to a regular opponent.

We need energy drain for these. Also, for the Conjure, 100 damage on what scale? Out of 500, that's a pretty good attack. Out of 5000, that's not much.

Nightvision - Alexander has also learned how to see in the dark almost as vividly as he can see in the day-time.

This toes the line of Powerplaying. I'll allow it, but just a reminder to be careful here. Also, is it a passive ability? Or something that he has to actually activate/cast? If it's passive, then it's an Ability.

Where could i say that he owns an armoured motorbike for fast travelling?

That's a good question. I suppose the best place is probably in Other Skills, where you talk about his driving skills.

He can run along a wall for 3 mins before his feet tire from it.

Same as above.
 
Thanks for the feedback again - i guess i got carried away with the abilities lol - edited and ready again.
 
Ok, I feel good about the changes. I look forward to seeing him in our RP world.

Moved to [APPROVED] Characters section.
