Nationality: Irish
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Personality: A man of great knowledge and small words, Alastar is known for his cold attitude towards strangers. Somewhat of a loner, Alastar chooses to live on his own and not make any serious commitments. Though he still goes out and occasionally indulges in the many pleasures of the city, he is rarely seen with the same person more than once. Alastar is very smart and has a lot of wisdom. He sees no problem in sharing his wisdom with those he deems worthy; alas, he is very strict when choosing those he talks to. Somewhat bipolar, Alastar can turn from happy to mad in a mere seconds. A single action can make him extremely mad. That being said, he is also very patient and has a strong grip on his emotions and feelings, only opening up to those he deems are his friends.

Powers: Alastar has control over Vectors. What this means, is that he has control over "energy" in the broad term. He can manipulate vibrations in the air, make objects warmer or explosive. By controlling vectors, he can great rings of energy that he launches at a target. His power is mostly focused on his hands, meaning he can "vectorize" (As he likes to say) anything he touches, this includes a living body. But of course, the danger of this is getting in close to his target. And the process of manipulating the vibrations of a body is not a quick process, giving his target enough time to counter. This is why he limits himself to smaller objects, such as rocks or cards and uses them as explosive projectiles.
When he finds that his powers are no use to him, he uses his retractile steel bo staff. He has trained for a long time with this weapon, choosing it as his weapon of choice.
Alastar was born in a rich Irish family. His father was a renowned archeologist and his mother on of best doctors in the country. He lived in northern Ireland, on a private land. His home was the Ciar mansion, the house that had been passed down from generation to generation. Alastar had two brothers and three sisters. Though they had all the money they wanted, the nicest home, the best family and the best jobs, the life of the Ciar family would be rung with horrible events. At the age of 10, Alastar had already witnessed the death of his oldest brother and his youngest sister. From there, it did not stop. It was as if a ghost was hunting down the family, killing them one by one in freak accidents. The once large family was reduced to Alastar, now aged 20, his younger sister and their parents... All the others had died.
But it would not end there. While Alastar was attending school in Dublin, he received a mysterious note saying he should return home as soon as he could. At first, he believed it was a letter from one of his classmates, making fun of him. But he quickly learned that this was not the case and so he returned home as soon as he could. Driving by car, he could see in the distance smoke rising... and there was only one house in that direction. When he arrived at the scene, most of the Cair mansion was already up in flames. Mustering his courage, Alastar dashed into the burning mansion. He was able to make room for his parents to escape, but as he arrived to save his little sister, aged 18, the burning roof came crashing down on him and his sister.
By whatever miracle possible, they both lived. Alastar and his little sister would both walk out of the hospital a whole month later. But they would never be the same. Both had acquired strange powers. Unsure and scared, his little sister was quick to leave Ireland, in order to travel and find others like her. As for Alastar, it took him some time before he left his parents, who had slumbered into despair at the loss of their home. Alastar traveled until he found himself in the city in which our story is taking place. As the heir to his family, he has great wealth, but chooses to live alone in a modest home, by a lake. He now lives to find the truth about the deaths in his family and who had sent him that note...
