Divine Protection
Blessing of Investigation - Alexander's eyes can see, and see through all magical illusions, effects, blessings, curses and even alterations, as well as detect what kinds of Magic, Divine Protection, or Authority have been used or is being cast. The drawback to this, however, is that Alexander's eyes cannot be healed by magic, or can they be strengthened, weakened, or otherwise influenced by supernatural powers. The rest of his body, however, can be attacked just as fine...
Alexander is reckless, but committed, and also a person who has only recently managed to rein in their emotions. Although not naturally kinder than the average person, Alexander is someone who wants to be more than he already is, and is willing to do what it takes to get it. At the same time, however, he can be a show-off, impatient, and as mentioned, reckless, as well as secretly afraid that he might let himself down, which would equate to letting others down.
"I'm not as kind as I want to be - in fact, I'm pretty nasty. But I want to change all that, and I will."
One of Alexander's first memories was watching Detective Conan/Case Closed, due his babysitter leaving the TV on. The fact that he was somehow able to comprehend the plots of each episode was also the time when it became clear that he was different from others, different not just in his intelligence, but in his realization that when he wanted something, he should try to get it, either by asking nicely, or by giving something in return, like good grades at school or extra obedience to one's parents. Even as he got older and other shows and stories about detectives stopped being appealing to him, Detective Conan, and later, books such as Artemis Fowl (which he began to take an interest in when he was getting older), remained an inspiration to his life.
In school, Alexander was known as a mystery-solver, able to get answers to minor schoolroom capers such as missing lunch boxes, vandalism, and minor embezzlement by student council members (which aren't as powerful as they were in Japan). In short, he got a nice reputation, a reputation that got him favors, good graces by the safety patrol, praise, and eventually, girls and boys. But the desire to solve more and greater mysteries kept nagging at him, preventing him from being content. Finally, at 16, he was allowed to join a special course in criminology and investigation...and that was when he found the mystery that would satisfy him - the mysterious disapperances of people around the globe, disapperances yet unexplained.
But while investigating the disapperances, Alexander was drawn to 'evidence' that pointed towards a connection with the occult, and as said evidence mounted, and was shortly dismissed by skeptical professors and police personnel as 'a hoax', Alexander changed his majors from criminology and investigation to 'mythology and history', with side-specializations in the history of the occult, cults, and deciptions of magic in both pop culture and traditional stories. He also felt a draw to learn martial arts, namely Filipino Eskrima/Kali, which he chose because it combined blades, sticks, and even unarmed combat in a lethal combination. Chemistry was also another passion, although Alex was only able to memoize the formula for gunpowder by heart.
Unknown even to himself, he was preparing to depart his world.
One day, Alexander found a lead to the mystery gripping his mind in Japan. Getting his parents' blessing, and using what money he saved up from part-time jobs, the boy boarded a plane headed for the archipelago - which ended up crashing into the sea in a freak accident.
Get up... he would hear, A God commands you. Continue your quest; find a way to return those who didn't want to go. And Alexander's eyes would shine with power, as he woke up in another world, in the nation of Lugnica.
And so, Alexander would spend a year learning, getting his bearings, investigating, and finally landing a job as a mercenary, all so he can fulfill his mission - to return 'the missing' back to Earth, though only if they want to, of course.

N/A.
Myst is a person whose motives had decayed from 'bring order to the world to end suffering' to 'dominate all life and force it into a shape of one's own design'. This isn't helped by years of learning and experimentation, where he had acquired a lack of shame and discust over unetheical methods of research. A tyrannical man who yet believes that he is the best course for the world - nay, all worlds, Myst is someone who is obsessive, megalomaniacal, and claims to be above base desires even while surrendering to the latter. However, he is well aware of his relative lack of power and resources, and so is willing to work with and manipulate others, although he would consider himself above the people he works with...
Myst was born in Lugnica's capital, to a family of magi and nobles of some renown. Talented, but not a prodigy at Water Magic, Myst had an inquisitive mind, and, when looking around at the suffering of others, would often wonder: Why is the world built that some must be hurt without deserving it? This would later become: How can the world be fixed so that people won't be hurt? And so he threw himself into his studies, studies of politics and magic, as well as making contacts with the local acdemia. And for a while, everything was good...but also fragile.
For one day, he made a chance remark criticizing the kingdom's treatment of Elves, which reached the ears of those jealous of him and who wanted to take him down a peg. His chance remark was spun into 'evidence' of treasonous sentiment, and he found himself losing friends, allies, and contacts, leaving him with only the resources he already had, and an estate owned by his ancestors in the far frontiers of the Kingdom, which, he, disheartened, withdrew to with his materials for study. There, he began delving into the other side of Water Magic, the side that twisted life and healing into blood and mutation.
This experimentation also twisted him, causing his views and motives to begin their decay. Where once he wanted to create a better world, now he wanted to create a world that was only his'. Contacting the few people who remained his friends and allies, Myst rebuilt his web of contacts, but in a much darker form, looking for people who shared his madness, his obsessions, and other desires people might consider 'evil'. No more codes of ethics, no more morals, no more inhibitions. There was to be only one guiding principle; control of all life, so that everything can be in its proper place.
And, as he prepared to make his move, Myst began hearing rumors, rumors of people from another world entirely, rumors of people who spoke of a world called 'Earth'. And an obsession rose within him, an obsession to control first Lugnica, then the rest of his world, then the universe that those 'Earthfolk' came from. But he was going to need help, he was going to need those who would aid him.
