Age:19
Sexuality: Heterosxual
Height:6'4
Weight:215
Personality: Rather relaxed and lazy. Openly proclaims to lack ambition and seeks to actively have fun, somewhat absent minded and flirtatious but ultimately has good intentions.
Talents:conversation, charisma, good listener
Likes:Art of any form, parties, dates, sweets, any form of pleasure or fun, good manners
Dislikes:Work of any form, politics, loud noises, bad manners, warm weather
Abilities:Aside from the usual abilities of kind Alexander possesses the following
Presence-Alexander's natural presence manipulates the emotions around him without his conscious control. On its own, it makes people just slightly more willing to cooperate with him (his words almost seem hypnotic) and a small desire to catch his attention or approval- one finds he commands the attention simply by being around. This ability also broadcasts his own emotions, occasionally influencing others towards his own emotional state. Heighten emotions, or his own conscious use boosts the effectiveness of this power. What was once a small desire for approval becomes extreme- virtually creating a desire to serve with merely a glance at him or the sound of his voice. His gaze can freeze the weak of heart in terror. Extreme focus or blinding emotions further increase the range of his emotional influence.
Dominance: Essentially the standard vampire Compulsion but more potent. Alexander can utilize both this and Compulsion through touch- in fact touch is his preferred and more powerful method of use. Without his own conscious use simple, harmless and single word phrases create a slight twitch in a body that only the weakest would comply. (Ex: the word 'Sit' would create a barely perceptible twitch to begin the motion, but only a small child would actually be forced to sit. Even then there is no compulsion to stay seated.) With great focus,about a minute and physical contact however, his words become far more dangerous. His words becoming compelling orders that even a body will follow: words like 'die' could stop a heart and shutting down a persons senses becomes possible.
Nightmare: With physical contact, eye contact and excruciating amounts of focus Alexander pits his victim against their worst fears and heightens the terror produced to the limit of his abilities in an effort to shatter their mind. This takes several minutes to activate- won't work on a target immune to Presence.
Weaknesses: He experiences some of the mental damage produced by Nightmare. Knowledge of his power over emotions lessens its affects- exposure to his blood provides total immunity. Ironically he is not immune to his own abilities and actively using them puts enormous amounts of strain upon him. His Presence ability interferes with high precision electronics- at the conscious level the interference can be traced with surveillance equipment. Even those immune to his Presence can still read his emotional state: it's heard like background noise- effectively speaking, lying is not possible for him. His powers are fueled by his own confidence, no confidence means no power.
Flaws His power has left him more than a little jaded to the idea of love. Alexander is used to getting what he wants making him rather spoiled. Calling him 'careless' would be an understatement. Absolutely zero combat ability. Very picky eater
History:Alexander is the first born of the vampire royal family. This left him with relatively little time in terms of getting to know the rest of his siblings but also provided the biggest influence for his lazy habits. The emergence of his powers seemed to cement his position as heir apparent and eventually resulted in his current political image: one of utter selfishness and incompetence. The resultant fall out from an unclear lineage is something he has taken to view as his own fault. But there's still a couple things he wants to get out of his system first...and the newly developed habits don't exactly die hard.
Other:Cast will be assumed to be immune to Presence (it's just good manners). Despite his laziness,Alexander is surprisingly responsible...he just doesn't like people knowing that.
