Alexander
09-03-06, 04:03 PM
Name: Alexander Meharr
Age: 7,465
Race: Altered Human
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 220 lbs
Personality: Alexander is a complex man. One minute he can be gentle, and them the next he can give in to the dormant instincts of the animal DNA within him. But no matter the mood, he is still cocky. He is smarter than everyone else and he knows it. He goes to great lengths to inform others of it. Because he has studied animals does not mean he likes them. They are tools to him.
Appearance: Alexanger is tall, and wears a long, tattered cloak. His hair is short and black, and eyes are dark. He keeps his club on his back and his flail cloiled up on his side.
History: Alexander was born in Corone by another name that has been lost with time. He was speaking by 3 months, walking by 4 months, and doing other things everyone else would consider unnatural for a child to do at such a young age. By the age of 5 months, he was abandoned by his parents at an old science building with a note saying to kill him and study his brain.
Due to his advanced mind, Alexander looked at everything differently. For example, upon looking at a flower for the first time, his first thought wasn't color or shape. He saw what it was made up of, how it grew, why it grew, what its purpose was, and what he could do to it to make it better.
Because of his creativity, he was seized by the millitary at the age of 2. Thinking that they could teach him magic, he could craft new, unique spells to better conquer. Disappointing to learn that for some reason, the boy could not cast spells. They appointed him to create battle tactics instead. Angered by being left by his parents and now being torn away from his only family, Alexander decided to get even. By drawing out the next battle plans to confuse the soldiers to attack allies towns,in a new war up and coming, he had all the revenge he needed.
Satisfied from his own, personal victory at age 14, Alexander snuck out of the tactical building and headed home, a three day journey. Before arriving, he was grabbed by a local band of mountain bandits, loyal to Corone's allies. Another expected encounter. Alexander bargained his freedom by selling them information about the military's betrayal to their 'allies'.
Setting up shop in the now abandoned building left behind by the bandits and taking equipment from the science building, also abandoned because of the war, Alexander now started the experiments of what he called "The Building Blocks of Life". Something he had noticed back before the military grabbed him. How out of two almost identical animals, one could do things better or worse than the other.
Years went by. Experiments attempting to combine one animal with another failed. He was about to his up when the bandits returned. 22 years had gone by and Alexander had hardly left the building exept to get research subjects. As it turned out, the bandits wern't bandits anymore. They had sold Corone's allies the imformation about the battle tactics. In turn, they called a truce in secret to the country Corone intended to attack. Together they stopped Corone, took it over, and completely reforged the government.
With extreme graditude, the ex-bandits gave Alexander a sizable fortune to build a new lab with. Speachless, his head filled with new ideas, and he left, to remain gone for years. He built the lab in a secret location. He remained hidden, employing mercs to capture new forms of animals and beasts. The last anyone had heard of him was when a bounty of one million gold was put out for a dragon. A few days after delivery, there were no more requests.
It has been over seven thousand years. There are hardly any history books that speak of Alexander and his brilliance. No one who knows of him has any idea of why he has returned or how he still lives.
Abilities: Using advanced DNA manipulation from other people and animals, Alexander has gained the following abilities. He has just came back from a journey, so he has to adapt to this environment before many of them activate fully.
High Intellect: Alexander has always been incredibly intelligent, and very creative. This is not a DNA-gained ability.
Improved Strength: By combining the DNA of various animals of higher strength with his own, Alexander has gained the strength of about 20 men. Due to the new environment of Althanas, he only has the strength of a little more than normal at the moment.
Improved Speed and Jumping Ability: A cheetah and a flea. These are the being chosen to increase the natural abilities of Alexander Meharr. His maximum running speed is 60-70 mph. Due to the size and strength differential, he can jump almost 100 yards. Due to Althanas' new environment though, he can only run about twice as normal, and he has no extra jumping ability. This ability is aided by the Improved Strength ability.
Immortality: The most difficult creature to secure for testing was the dragon. Seven thousand years ago, when they were more plentiful than ever. Not one has been known to die of old age, disease, or poisons. Due to Althanas' environment, he retains the immortality, but the strongest poisons or the deadliest diseases can injure him.
Side Effects: These abilities, especially the ones gained earlier when the technique was still new, don't come without side effects. Most of the time they are only muscle spasms, but can become as bad as heart attacks. Because of the immortality, they are not a danger, but they still hurt and can rend him immobile for a time.
Possessions:
Miniture Lab, allows Alexander to combine new DNA with his own, but the subject must be alive and a few days are needed.
Vials filled with a special serum, this serum is custom made for only Alexander, it slows the blood down to help prevent his heart attacks but doesn't always work.
Weapons:
Iron Flail-The chain on the flail is also iron, and the handle has a blade on the end for close combat. He isn't an expert but he isn't to bad either.
Large Iron Club- Used for capturing of animals. A hard knock to the head or neck will snap the neck, but won't kill.
Armor:
Alexander wears no armor at present.
