Alex:
Theme:
Beatrix and Steiner Battle--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Age: (Physically) 14; (Actually) 220+ Billion
Gender: Male
Race: Koopa
Alignment: Chaotic Good
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Physical Description: Alex is a short (4'3'') Koopa with a black shell and a short tuft of purple hair. His shell has small spikes but they're more for appearances than anything. He wears a scarf, half black and half white, which blends together with a checkerboard pattern, but is otherwise naked (his shell covers up all it needs to).
Personality: Despite looking young Alex is actually "too old for this", always ready with a sarcastic comment about whatever the situation is but unwilling to take sass from anyone else. He's also lazy and doesn't really enjoy going out and doing hero business, but this is more due to his track record than lethargy.
History: Alexander von Koopa proper hails from the kingdom of Valhalla Star, which was an otherworldly empire from long before recorded time. As their chief gladiator and warrior, he enjoyed the fame and fortune of the masses, but his refusal to kill Lord Morbul, a fellow citizen (albeit a traitor), got them both banished from Valhalla Star until one can kill the other. They have reincarnated in different bodies across space and time, and this particular one happened to be in the body of a teenage Koopa, who was conscripted into Bowser's army at a young age and got out while the getting was good. Unable to find shelter with the Koopas or almost anyone else, Alex took to relying on his skill with a blade to carry him by until he was recruited by Dr. Y to join the White Platoon, a group of heroes... Well, former group of heroes. After they defeated Majestic, a group of businessmen, they were labeled as terrorists and ordered to shut down. Alex, having gone on many adventures and slain many villains by this point, welcomed retirement, but still had to deal with Morbul. Sealing Morbul deep under the Black Cathedral, Alex is currently trying to settle down into a normal, peaceful life...
Equipment: Alex used to have four swords, each with a mystical glow - Bane, which glowed yellow and worked wonders against the undead, Doomsday, which held dark power, glowed purple, and was used to seal away Morbul, Wrath, which amplified Alex's anger and glowed red, and Entropy, which held chaotic magic and glowed green. As mentioned he threw Doomsday into Morbul's chest to keep him sealed, and Wrath and Entropy got scattered all over the world by a prankster devil. Bane is the only sword Alex still has, and he holds little interest in going after his other swords.
Abilities: Alex is a master swordsman, the skill of billions of years amassed inside his body, and can unleash the hidden powers of his swords if he has them in his hands. He's also one of very, very few people who can fight using four swords at a time (and only two hands). He's also quasi-immortal - lethal force will cause him to "shut down" for a few hours, but unless the body is destroyed he will get right back up.
Other: Alex's long history of fighting bad guys (he was on other forums before this) means he's "seen it all", so to speak, and is unlikely to be impressed with any hero or villain that comes his way. While still Chaotic Good, he would absolutely prefer not to get involved in conflict, doing so only if he absolutely has to and no one else can. However, for a fee he would be more than willing to train other people so they can do his job for him.
