Tell Us About Yourself
Name: ~ Alexander Gender: ~ Male Age: ~ 18 Race: ~ Ryougan Alliance: ~ Aquila
What Do You Look Like?
Picture/Description:
Alex has a very strong resemblance to Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII in the fact that his hair is always done in the same manner, except that his hair isn't as long, doesn't have the bangs and sideburns, and is a golden baked brown with white tips and highlights; his hair is similar in how Alex spikes his hair back.
Eye Color: ~ Green-hazel Hair Color ~ Baked golden brown with white tips/highlights Height: ~ 6'1" Weight: ~ 210 pounds Notable Feature ~ A tribal infinity symbol tattoo on his left arm. TAT ~ Tribal angel wings tattooed all over his back.
You Can Do That?!
Powers: ~ Drainage: Alex has the ability to slowly sap energy away from his opponents, leaving them in a weakened state until they escape his range (35 meters laterally and 15 meters vertically). This is most helpful against enemies with low stamina. The energy that is drained away almost becomes something like sweat, it pours out of the opponent's body at a very slow rate, really only noticable after a half-hour of constant combat. The energy that is drained away is sent to the earth, energizing teh plants in the ground. (YAY WE GOT A GREENIE!!!) Once a target leaves Alex's range he starts to feel his energy gradually return, but at a very slow pace. The opponent(s) of Alex's focus usually lose around 1% of their energy every minute while in Alex's drain-zone. ~ Air/Wind Manipulation: Alex has the ability to manipulate how the air works around him. He can compress the air to make a blade which, while nearly invisible to the naked eye, is visible to those with trained eyes.He can make a zone where the air is thinner and harder to breathe, not causing death but will cause a blackout, or make a high-speed wind to blow opponent's away, or to do whatever was already mentioned. He can also levitate and fly with the ability to manipulate how the air moves around him, making it possible for him to be lifted and propelled by the air. Alex's ability to manipulate the wind is best capitalized in dry air where as muggy and humid air is too dense and thick for Alex to really do anything with except create a weak shield.
Strength(s): + Alex is an athletic person and can do just about anything another person can and sometimes even better them, at least physically. + Alex is a very strategic thinker, always predicting what his opponent's going to do next. This also allows him to think logically most the time. + Alex is a very insightful person and is easily likeable, even to his enemies in a few cases. + Alex is very caring and protective of his friends and allies. He's also honorable and won't allow a helpless enemy to be killed unless if he believes they're a big enough threat. He's also very compassionate.
Weakness(es): - Whenever using his drainage ability Alex has to usually be focused on one, maybe two, opponents. In order to use this ability on any enemy within his range he has to stay almost stationary, plus it will probably slightly affect his allies as well. - While Alex's drainage ability does drain his enemies of their energy, it does take a while for it to really take effect. He can drain their energy completely in one burst but it completely drains Alex of his energy, leaving him helpless, and can even kill him, but thats if the opponent is at full energy, so if he drains an enemy with around 25% of their energy left suddenly then he'll just have a pretty good headache. - Females. Alex is a very chivalrous person and finds it hard to be aggressive or to say no to females, causing him to usually get caught doing some work that was supposed to be done by a girl or he'll have a hard time fighting a female opponent, just prefering to drain them of their energy. - Granted his strategical thinking, Alex will sometimes make decisions without thinking about them, but usually only if someone he cares about is at risk.
I Wanna Know More!
Personality: ~ Alex, while once shy and secluded, is a bold and confident person. He is highly intellectual and sometimes tends to overthink things, but at the same time he tends to not think about some things depending on the situation. He is a very kind and caring person which makes him easily likeable, he sometimes even sort of befriends a few enemies, not quite like buddy-buddy, but as they respect each other. Alex is a high believer in Bushido, but doesn't quite take it to the extreme of suicide if defeated; he honors his opponents in head-on combat and will not allow them to be killed if they're helpless. Alex is also very compassionate and sometimes acts through his feelings, depending on how he feels about something or someone. Alex is also very humble, he believes he's better than some at stuff but he'll admit he's not the best and despised those who think they're better than everyone else. Although he's learned to control his anger, he probably has one of the most wrathful angers ever seen, demolishing anything within sight if he can when pushed over the top angry.
Likes/Dislikes ~ Alex likes to feel important and special. Alex despised people who believe they're better than everyone else and show no respect or compassion to others. He dislikes it whenever someone believes they're inferior and will often try to make them feel better.
History: ~ Alex always grew up fairly poorly, but he and his family managed. His partents would usually go out of their way to make sure that he had what he needed, and sometimes wanted, to survive. He figured out at the age of ten that he wasn't like other kids his age when one day, whenever he was angry a kid got a huge gash across his chest after he'd shoved Alex to the ground. Ever since then he'd grown up learning how to control his anger. When the town was closed down and everything got worse financially he was already used to it and just kept living as though it was just another normal day. He does live though to try and push for a better future, one where anyone can live freely. That's his tribute to his family who was killed when their house was set ablaze by a fire-wielding Ryougan.

Alrighty, mate, you get to face the wrath that is Rosu! XD
Notable Feature:
If you want to make your link work (in parenthesis, it doesn't work), try using instead. If you don't know what I mean (since I don't know what you know), you basically, need to do this: [link=DIRECT LINK]WORD[/link] Makes things fit in with everything else... might I suggest your word be symbol (assuming you want to do it)? o.o
Powers:
Drainage: I really think that this should be a sight-based ability; it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the ability itself can be easily abused. You could drain someone while they're inside a restaurant, you yourself just standing in the alley somewhere; also, since you haven't stated what type of range (strictly horizontal, vertical, both, radial, etc), it's safe to assume that you could even drain someone from 35 meters in the air, which sounds a bit ridiculous, no? If you decide to go sight, I'll let your character move while doing it (assuming the energy drained per post is at a non-broken size).
How much energy would a person lose to this ability per post? When they leave the range, does their energy come back (based on what you typed, that's what you're implying). Where does the energy go? Does Alex get the energy, or does it just disappear (which is impossible; energy has to go somewhere)? Which, if that's the case, your second weakness doesn't make much sense, since he would just get the energy that the other lost. If I'm going to accept this, I need to know how this ability plays out. o.o
Air Manipulation:
No... just no... I don't even think we allowed that on CC... XD Besides, your version lacks detail, so I wouldn't accept it anyway o.o And, if you're going to compress air to make weapons, they should at least be somewhat seen (referring to your non-seeable blade); I'm not saying it has to be plainly obvious, but I'm saying that it has to be seen in some way, shape, or form.
Big thing: needs some kind of weakness? I mean, does it require energy? Does it depend on the waether? What? o.o
Other than that, though, I don't see anything poke-worthy (though my head's spinning from reading the Personality XD).

Well that's what it's trying to get at, for Drainage, that it's a sight-oriented ability mostly, only if he stops and focuses on his surroundings can he use it without visually seeing them, but that leaves him at a vulnerable position. Plus...who never said I wasn't fucked up? lol

Don't give me amount per minute; give me amount per post; that's easier to measure. o.o

Then I'd better see more paragraphs outta you! *is referring to Alex's posts on CC* o.o
Well, with confidence that your powers won't be abused (including the whole 'zone' thing}, I hereby declare you profile...
