Name: Alexander Marry Greenveil
Alias: Faust
Age: 28
Personality: "Faust" is a bit of an aloof person, as some have said, he doesn't exactly have all the screws where they should be...Alexander seems to display signs of bipolar disorder, he will slip into depressions or states of joy for weeks at a time, he doesn't seem to like being around people often and he talks to himself more than anyone else. When it comes to actually socializing he can keep up a normal conversation for the most part. He just seems to have problems saying the right things, and a worse problem of thinking them. It is not uncommon for him to change a subject when it displeases him, and it's not uncommon for his sense of justice to sway slightly. It is known throughout Puriel that Alexander enjoys theatrics, and he will often play up the parts of him others seem odd, meaning he is never as "crazy" as he actually acts, though acting that way on purpose could be seen as some perfect proof otherwise..."Faust's" sense of style changes often, and he does things on a passing fancy, when he is in a sad fit he seems desperate and is less reliable as a "hero", when he is happy and jovial, he is proactive and often goes a touch too far. His motives are usually a bit pointless or nonsensical and he seemed to do things on impulse more often the he should, he bends people's words and toys with the minds of many, though he tries his best to never lie. He has been caught for this before and, that hasn't stropped him.
Appearance:
Power: Most people don't believe Alex's story when they hear it, unlike most members of Puriel, his abilities seem much less natural, or explainable. Alex says whenever asked, he "Made a deal with the wandering spirit", apparently a wispy figure, with not many definable features, approached him one late night, and asked him if he wanted to be worth something, Alex not being the most sensible at the time (being affected by drugs and alcohol) said yes. The next day when he woke up, he had a blue symbol on his hand. He learned through some not so sober experimenting he had gained the ability to control selective substances, mainly being dead, organic tissue. He, through much training, is now able to control up to three human skeletons at once, they cannot move in very different ways, meaning they must always work on one task. He cannot control animal skeletons, or any living matter, he controls skeletons primarily because the more tissue a body has, the more effort, energy and focus it take to control. He cannot explain who the "wandering spirit" is, but is speculated that it was in fact a person, one who is not aligned with Puriel, but perhaps was at one time.
Skills: He is great with making tea, though he botches coffee right up. In all seriousness, Alex can run for an extended amount of time, while not very impressive to other "heroes" standard skill sets, it has saved his life more then once. Alexander has a unfair amount of luck, and has gambled his life many times thus far, yet he still stands. Alex is not very physically strong, when it comes to combat he mostly relies on his underlings and is inept with most weapons. He tends to actually use himself as distraction, and lets the drones be the trump cards. The skeletons can each hold as much power as Alex can give them, meaning they are light and agile usually, yet not the most durable. Alex can focus on using one skeleton at a time, and this makes that selected one, much more capable. To put in perspective the strength of each skelton in perspective, they can lift roughly 120 pounds, though when one is focused on, it can lift closer to 200. The skeletons can only move when Alex makes them, meaning when he does not, they fall to a pile. It can be seen he is controlling it, when a faint blue light emits from within their rib cage.
Gear/Equipment/Weapons: Alexander wears a durable and high-tech bullet proof vest under his clothes. Three skeletons given to him by Puriel, as well as a large briefcase in which to keep said skeltons in when not in use, he also carries with him more sets of his own clothes and mask. He also carries about many wigs.
Bio: Alexander was a normal boy, living a normal life. He had decent grades in school and got along well with both his parents, him and his sister didn't talk much but it was never much of an issue. Up until high school Alex lived thus hum-drum life and didn't ask any questions, until, first year at Belleveir high. He met a boy named Adrian, Adrian was the outcast, he dressed in dark clothes and was pale as a ghost. He adopted Alex in their shared art class and taught him about the wonders of the supernatural. Believing avidly in ghosts and stories Adrian dragged Alex down to the lowest possible levels of academic prosperity and eventually, he stuck a wall between Alex and his parents. At the last year of high school, despite Mr and Mrs Greenveils best efforts, Alex and Adrian were still best of friends, no longer having an aspirations for work or "the boring world" Adrian and Alex moved on to waste away on their own, getting into drugs and cheap booze.
Three years later, many many ignored messages from concurred parent, Alex was at the end of his rope, no money, no job, and soon, no Adrian. An especially average night Alex's one last friend, disappeared. No body was found, the search lasted the minimum time necessary to keep people thinking the system worked, Adrian was just, gone. This led Alex down a darker path, resorting to their old and childish beliefs of the beyond, Alex tried to summon spirits multiple times to find his lost friends, for another four years he wasted away to nothing but skin and bones, surviving on whatever he managed to scrape up in that blur of time, and of course, no signs of Adrian.
Finally, the last thread of hope goes out the window, Alex lies down with whatever was in that bottle and whatever that powder was made of, and tries to become nothing, the "wandering spirit" visits Alex, and months later, Puriel follows suit. For the next two years Alex uses Puriel as an outlet, it keeps him distracted from the people he lost, and the person he could have been.
Theme Song: Scissor sisters: I can't decide
Clicky clickOther: As Puriel does not condone the use of actual corpses, Alex has been given three false skeletons, made up of re-purposed and donated...
materials, they are not technically real skeletons and thus do not belong to any one deceased person, according to Alex, "They have a fake feeling to me...I can't put as much strength behind them."
Blargh, let's see if this is up to par...
