Alex Lowe is a young mage of Winter Fall who is known for his proficient use with weapons and accomplishments with his fellow Winter Fall guild mates. Alongside Hugh Stein and Sam Winchester, Alex is part of the team called Cloud Star that formed after the three completed several long term missions together.
Appearance[]
Alex typically has a look of deep thought on his face despite rarely thinking of anything that requires such intense concentration. His spiky white blond hair is kept somewhat long though still short compared to how others wear the style. He has a fit, athletic build due to the amount of training he has gone through over the years though the bagginess of his clothes sometimes make him out to be bigger than he really is. Alex's usual attire is typically covered up by the hooded gray shirt he is always seen in, with a pair of red hand-guards on top of a pair of black fingerless gloves. On his legs Alex wears shin guards gifted to him by his trainer and a black forehead protector with the Winter Fall guild symbol etched into it.
Personality[]
Alex is what could be considered one of the jokers of Winter Fall, always quick with a joke that typically falls flat due to it making more sense in his head than it does in actuality. As such, Alex is one member that the rest of the guild rarely takes serious due to his constant antics. He's even been compared to a younger Kain Rhodes from Celestial Dawn due to the two's similar childish antics.
Unlike Kain though, Alex possesses an optimistic and somewhat ignorant view of the world and of people in general due to being partially empathetic. On more than one occasion, Alex has picked up on a person's emotions Assuming that people are generally good or even decent at heart has caused him difficulty in the past and recent events due to being misled by individuals who have no problem taking advantage of the natural trust he bestows upon people. He has been told numerous times by his guild mates and his guild master that assuming the best of people will eventually get him killed one day but Alex has continued to ignore this and holds on to his belief that people are good at heart when truly given the chance to prove it.
History[]
Alex was born into a family of small-time yet proficient family of fighters who owned a small dojo in their village. From birth, Alex was trained by his family to eventually take over the family business as head of the dojo though Alex was less than enthusiastic about the idea. Though he excelled at his training and was consistently one of the more improved of his classmates, Alex was still eager to get out into the world.
Synopsis[]
Equipment[]
Longsword: A gift from his father before he left home to become a mage, Alex's longsword is one of his more trademark weapons, his preferable form of combat opposed to his longbow. Oddly enough, the longsword is slightly smaller than a typical longsword due in part to Alex manipulating its size with his magic though it still possesses the same cutting strength and power of a normal longsword minus the reach.
Longbow: A longbow roughly the same length as Alex is tall, this bow is unique in that it is made from metal rather than the usual tree bark. As such, the draw for the bow is significantly stronger than a regular longbow and the arrows pack more of a punch as a result, requiring Alex to have an exceptional draw strength to even pull the bowstring. Being made of metal, the longbow is capable of briefly clashing with swords if need be though continued strikes will significantly damage it.
Magic Headphones: Alex owns a pair of silver and white Lacrima-powered headphones. Because the headphones are cordless, the headphones are magically synced up with Alex's stored songs back at his home allowing any song or playlist to be instantly retrieved.
Magic & Abilities []
Empathy: Unlike his other guild mates, Alex possesses a weak version of empathy, allowing him to sense and even connect with the emotions of those around him. This ability has saved Alex's live and the lives of his teammates as he's sensed an unseen enemies emotions before an ambush.
Expert Weapons Specialist: In spite of his relatively young age, Alex is exceptionally skilled when it comes to handling weapons with some going as far to call him a genius. His preferred weapon being his longsword, Alex is more than capable of trading blows with those with more experience in the art of swordsmanship than him, adapting to their style on the fly and adjusting his movements. Alex's talents extend beyond just his skill with the sword though, reaching out towards handling the long reach of spears and halberds to using heavier weapons like axes and even hammers.
Expert Marksman: Alex possesses a considerable amount of skill in marksmanship as evidenced by his accuracy with a number of ranged weapons not limited but including his longbow, firearms and even throwing knives, having been the one to train fellow guild mate Rebecca in the practice. While he commonly displays his marksmanship through pulling off insane feats with his bow that equals the accuracy of a rifle as seen by him firing an arrow in the direction of incoming gunfire and striking the barrel of the gun.
Moderate Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Though he mainly focuses on weaponry combat, Alex is no slouch in the hand-to-hand department having been trained to be able to defend himself should he ever be without magic or a weapon isn't within reach. Having a more straightforward style than most, Alex's hand to hand skills aren't anything special though he makes up for this by using his exceptional speed to combine various techniques for maximum damage.
Enhanced Speed: Alex is an exceptionally fast fighter, capable of moving at speeds that most humans have difficulty keeping track of. His reflexes are equally as sharp, allowing him to not only react but redirect attacks from two opposing forces during a short skirmish he witnessed, with the two mages being surprised at his level of speed.
Enhanced Strength: Thanks to the years of strength training to be able to efficiently use his longbow to the best of his abilities, Alex possesses an incredible level of strength that almost always surprises his opponents. Full force strikes from him have temporarily stunned and numbed his opponents for a short time, while tougher opponents merely remark how impressive it is.
Enhanced Endurance & Durability: Alex possesses a surprising strong defense, having withstood being assaulted by several highly skilled fighters in the past and also taking powerful spells head on and still being able to continue to fight. Though he does have his limits, Alex has pushed past these limits when the occasion calls for it and perseveres in spite of his injuries.
Weapon Magic (武器の魔法 Buki no Mahō): A magic that allows Alex create any weapon he chooses out of magic, providing him with a wide range of weaponry to use in combat making him a formidable opponent. After further developing the mechanics of Weapon Magic, Alex has learned how to alter the shape of existing weapons, allowing him to change their entire form and also use magic to enhance the weapons themselves. Feats such as changing a longsword to a short sword, shifting his longbow in to either a recurve or crossbow, and changing a spear into either a hammer or an axe are well within his range of transformation. Though he can change any weapon, weapons of a magical origin are immune to this effect due to their entire structure having been altered completely already.
- Weapon Graveyard: Creating a multitude of weapons, Alex releases said weapons into the surrounding area where they embed themselves into the ground giving Alex quicker access to them in battle. Another function of this spell is where it's used as a set-up for some of his more powerful spells.
- Weapon Swarm: Letting his magic build up, Alex begins to create a large assortment of weapons ranging from swords, axes, spears, lances, hammers, gung haos and the such before levitating them with Telekinesis. Once all the weapons are created, Alex sends the weapons flying towards his opponent at high speeds and thanks to his Telekinesis, he is capable of changing their course of direction making the attack difficult to avoid.
Arrow Magic (一矢魔法Isshi Mahō): A Holder Type Magic that involves the manipulation of arrows in a similar manner to Sword Magic. While Alex has yet to develop spells beyond simply enhancing his standard arrows, his experience in the magic has afforded him the ability to at the very least multiply the amount of arrows fired as well as strengthen them.
Telekinesis (テレキネシス Terekineshisu): Alex rarely uses Telekinesis when it comes to combat, preferring the use of his other magic though he does use it in conjunction with his Weapon Magic where upon creating multiple weapons, Alex telekinetically launches said weapons at his opponents at breakneck speeds. Aside from that, Alex typically uses Telekinesis for mundane day-to-day uses.
Trivia[]
- Alex's appearance is based on the character Omoi from Naruto.
- Alex's taste for music is quite large as he regularly listens to Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B, Rap, Jazz, Electronic, and the occasional Pop. During certain jobs, Alex will wear his headphones in the middle of battle, a move that has protected him from certain spells in the past.
