Appearance
His Appearance is close to the picture above except for a few notable differences. His hair is a bit longer for starters and the glasses he wears now are more like goggles that cover his eye sockets, however once that is off he might just have his old pair on him. Another difference is he has been wearing a mask to conceal his identity among other functions. The cloak over him is also green as is any blue markings on the picture. Finally the biggest difference is in the right hand, which now has a long glove that slides up his arm and seems to have some sort of technology built into it with many latches as if it is sealing something.
PersonalityArrogant with a side dose of thinking he knows more than the other arrogant people he runs into. Losing his good nature over the years he has become goal driven and results have become more important than anything. That being said he has developed an amazing amount of patience living as long as he has and always knows there will be another chance.
Skills, Powers and AbilitiesEssence of the Soul:Having once relied on the power inside the God Fear, Dawn of all Days, he gave up the weapon and after much talk with his friend Killiak who convinced him that true power lies within and not from some external source. Convinced of this he spent years refining himself and finally developed his true power out of his core being. Realizing that his heritage was not fully being utilized from Xenogaia who's inhabitants were know for such abilities as the ether fueled “DeathBlows” and the abilities known as “Limit Breaks”. Similar as they were, the deathblows were comprised of an ether process where the Limit Breaks used the persons inner strength to accomplish great things. It was in these Limit Breaks he found his answer, and now is able to draw upon that kind of power at will and if need be with every attack he throws out.
-----
Enhanced senses- It could be said that due to this new spiritual awakening a new sense of awareness was born. Exact details are unknown at this time.
------
Sword States- Drawing from his inward abilities of his core soul he can expand and break down into the essences that make up most universes. Having traveled to many places he found a master of the Sword Stance who could draw on the essence of the four basic elements to funnel their power into his sword. Learning this new art, he pushed it further expanding past just the first four elements. Now able to draw forth abilities and imbue not just a sword but any weapon he uses, its unknown just what he is fully capable of.
The four basic sword states he learned was that of Earth, Wind, Water, Fire. The activated element gives access to basic abilities such as flame arcs for fire, quake strikes etc. When using more advanced and devastating abilities in those states his spiritual energy will spike up to push out the effect.
Having mastered the first four he then spent time training to push into other elements. Some are more traditional as wood or metal and delving into the more exotic such as the void state. No matter the state they seems to all adhere to melee strikes or movements that send out projectiles or create passive effects. Area effect abilities that move past his own area of influence are possible but require more concentration and must be use sparingly.
Various Fighting Techniques: Each Fighting Technique is modified by which sword state he is currently in.
------
Watou Jutsu-His favorite sword technique and the one he uses the most was specifically designed to be about offense and power. Not worried about blocking or evading attacks, the style relies heavily in attacking into your opponents attacks.
------
Hiten Mitsurugi- Though he considers it a lesser style than Watou Jutsu, he is still very familiar with it and can draw a few techniques from it when he needs to.
------
Integrated Gunplay- Years ago he mastered a style that used almost entirely gun play to hide his true identity. It used two handguns, two ether guns, and a large shotgun. He has kept a relic of that time with him in the form of one of the custom made handguns developed by UTIC during the days he used the style.
Lifestream Manipulation: Lifestream runs throughout the universes where there is life, but normally it lays latent far deep, even in the core of each planet where life exists. Xenogaia was different, with its past the Lifestream retreated closer to the surface and had amazing side effects on the inhabitants. Alex is one of the few who are chosen advents who can manipulate the streams.
-----
Weapon Summoning: Alex can force a planet to do many things with his enhanced abilities, one of which is to manifest a Weapon from the planet. A “Weapon” is a large monstrosity formed from the life force of the plane tricking it into thinking it is in danger. They are very large(Think Godzilla size on average) but not undefeatable by a group of hearty adventurers on foot!(or underwater it seems!) This ability is not used against a single foe, but rather when needing to subdue a nations population.
-----
Nielfheim Angel: In former days he used his abilities to heal those around him, but now forming the once green glowing wings off his back they seem dull and pale.
Soul Sword: Alex can generate a weapon in his hand composed of concentrated essence of his own soul. This weapon can be used like any other sword, but can obviously effect the incorporeal as well.
Destruction God Fear Relic: Having found one of the most dangerous and unstable powers ever created, Alex found it inside a strange universe where a version of Reno, his father, and shinra were working with avalanche to put an end to the Jenova Family. Using their technology to go into space they found the nest and Alex helped them put an end to the corrupted and cracked planets core. There he found it, the “Life” God Fear which corrupted and created this universes corrupted life. A simple ring that was found there and given to the queen of the lost planet who began to heal the populace and eventually turned them into twisted beings.
The relic gives him the power and ability to bring life to anything, but with a two fold cost. The first is that what was given life is usually endowed with some strange quirk or ability the other is that every time he uses it, the corruption spreads more into his body. Once fully taken by the artifact he becomes its living avatar with no more control and just its will to corrupt life just like it had in the universe in which he found it.
EquipmentWeapon: -------
Watou- A simple looking sword that is a mix between a japanese and a chinese style sword. It has been hand crafted and made with the finest materials. It's only enhancement is from Alex himself through his “soul” and sword stances and is a testament to not relying on outside powers holding him back. The sword is as strong as he is being an extension of himself.
------
Revelation: The custom handgun created by the U-TIC organization allows for modified uses other than the standard firing normal ammunition. The gun has technology woven into it to allow the easy use of alternate energy to be channeled into the gun to alter firepower or create new types of dispersion. In this way the gun acts like a capacitor that can absorb energy from the user(ether, mana, or spiritual) and hold it for use later.
Armor:-------
Light Clothing- Centered around being mostly offensive in combat he does not put much into armor or defense but lets his natural stamina and life essence be his shield if any damage is done to him.

Biography/HistoryHis history is a long one that starts back in a lost future time line on Xenogaia Prime. In that future he was brought up by a widowed mother and the world hating everything Shinra stood for as the company was the scapegoat for how the world ended up. Eventually old enough he embarked on his quest moving back in time to try to stop the actions of Shinra and more importantly his father Elyk.
Successful in his goal of changing the outcome of his future homeland he found himself now trying to figure out what to do next. Having found love with a woman by the name of Sky Strife and the threat gone from Xenogaia Prime but still not eradicated the members left behind of Shinra and the now leaderless Yggsdrasil Crew set out to eliminate the threat once and for all of the Deus System being used to destroy their world or any others.
Using the advanced secret technology they were able to venture out and cross into other universes. It was then that U-TIC was first born and started its mission to find a new path to Lost Jerusalem. Over the years they built up power and refined their technology and explored eventually finding a man by the name of Wolfgang. This new Neo-Contact was the key to their long quest. And as history repeated again with Elyk coming back to try to help the system with it's goals. The final assault ended up being Wolfgang's alone and no one knows what truly happened inside Lost Jerusalem but Wolfgang walked out victorious.
The years went by and for reasons unknown he gave up his weapon back to the U-TIC vaults and had his friend Killiak fake his death so he may go out on his own. Founding the Grand Advent, he spent time planting loyal people into organizations across the omniverse and training his elite members to seek out special artifacts.
His reasons are unclear as of now, but this lost figure from the past has been moving his pieces on this chess board in secret and now emerging it seems he is sure of whatever goal he has in mind.
Other InformationHaving just recently stopped hiding his life-force from detection, if sensed by someone it would be the equivalent of an earth like planet five times its size. In other words, his life force is basically a large life giving planets life stream core.
